Nephi, Aug. 20.-For some time there
have been negotiations between the
prominent salt companies in Salt Lake
City and the Nephi concern, looking to
either the purchase or lease of the
Nebo company. The other salt compan-
6es of the state have become cognizant

The works are situated about L miles
up Salt Creek canyon Two salt springs
empty their contents into large eyapo-
rating tanks and they have an mex

from the tanks causes the salt TO rise

MURDER ON PIXIES PEAK.
Notorious DR.. Fraker Figures in the
Story.

Kansas City. Aug. 26.-John B. Ed
munds, the young man suspected of
completely in the murder on the top Of
Pixies Peak, of Herbert u. Kay of Wis
ner, Neb., was arrested today at the
home of his mother In this city. He
gained great deal of notoriety during
the tendency of the famous insurance
case of DR.. G.. w Fraker, the Excelsior
Springs physician, who mysteriously
disappeared after securing $50, 900 worth
OF life policies. Edmunds was Fraker's
office boy in Missouri, and swore on
the stand that he had seen the ply
slcian drown. When Fraker was later
found in hiding in the Minnesota
woods and brought back here for trial,
Edmunds disappeared. He loomed up
in Colorado Springs recently, again
the office boy of FralSer, who, after be-
ing discharged. had gone to that state
to practice. Edmunds disappeared from
Colorado Springs a few days before the
Kay murder, after stealing the doc
tors revolver. DR.. Fraker has given
the Colorado officials damaging evil
dence against the boy, who formerly
SO stoutly defended him.
Edmunds was taken to Inspector
Halpin's room to undergo the Sweat
ing process. He had scarcely entered
the room when, without being ques-
toned, he volunteered, Il was in
Larned, Kan, on the 18th" He later
insisted upon his innocence, saying
that the charge of murder was made
against him by DR.. Fraker out of spite
because he had left the doctors serv-
ice. Edmunds said that he was en-
route to Galveston, whence he intended
to go on the sea. He had his trunk
shipped to that point, he said. The
police have telegraphed the Galveston
officials to hold the trunk. Colorado
authorities have been notified of the
arrest Edmunds did not divulge any
thing while in the sweat box and he
will be put through it again, this af-
ternoon.

RUSSIANS VISIT LEHI.
Sugar Factory Owner and Agricul-
tural Expert.

Lehi, Utah, Aug. 26.-Last evening
there arrived at the Unio:. hotel Messrs.
c. G. SCHNEIDER, an engineer from the
department of agriculture of the Rus
sian government at St. Petersburg,
and S. W. Garde4Sise, of LeptZk. Mr..
SCHNEIDER is employed as teacher and
is travelling in the interest of agricul-
ture and agricultural machinery. He
speaks very highly of our country and
our mode of procedure on the farm.
He thinks that our machinery prices
are too high. For instance, for a 6-foot
cut binder he said 5000 was the price in
his country by wholesale for a Nc
Cormick reaper, and other implements
in proportion. In answer to the ques-
ton as to the shortage of the wheat
crop of Russia, he said he thought that
the grain crop would be but medium
this season.
Mr.. Gardekise is the owner of large
sugar factory in south Russia, and was
very much interested in the culture
of the sugar beet. He visited the sugar
factory in company with Manager Cut
Ter. of the Utah Sugar company, and
spoke very highly of the works and
the good prospects, as he said. for the
company this year. Sugar, he said,
ranged in price in his country as in
cur state, but labor was much lower,
ranging from 50 to 80 cents day. He
paid about $3.50 per ton for the beetS,
having from 95 to SO purity. In visit
ing the farms of Lehi, where the sugar
beets were growing. he seemed TO think
that the crops were very good. He was
delighted with the climate of our state
and thought that the soil was well
adapted for the raising of the beet.
From seven to nine tons to the acre
was considered a good crop in Russia.
They generally planted in April and If
the rains were favorable 9-tons crop
would be raised.
The gentlemen have visited Califor-
mia and a number of other states, spend
ing some three months and expect
to be home again in about two months.
On their return they will visit the
principal agricultural machinery manu-
factories in the United States then go
to France and Germany
