Kaysville. May 2S.-Reports are coming
in of damage done by frost on Thursday
night to tomato plants and other tender
vegetation. The frost also had bad
effect on lucern, and it is estimated that
the first crop will not yield more than
tvo-thirds of an average tonnage per
acre. This means Il heavy loss to farm
eTS.
AS the season advances, it becomes
more apparent that the fruit crop was
seriously damaged by the frost severa;;
week ago. Peaches and apricots will
be almost a total failure. Small fruits
were but slightly damaged.

The people of Uintah are still exer-
cised over a local contest growing out
of the proposed location of their new
schoolhouse. Now that bonds have
been voted for the erection of the
structure and the architect is at work
on the plans for the same, there is still
an effort on foot by a number of the
jewellers nthe west end of the district
to have two school houses, in place of
one. The dissenters hope to accomplish
this by getting the county commission
ers to divide the district into two, and
a delegation came over a day or two
ago to consult the members of the coun-
ty board. In the eventxof failure in
this way the aid of the courts may be
invoked.

COMFORTABLE HOMES
Can Be Built In California Cheaper
and Easier Than Elsewhere.

There is no part of the world better
adapted by all that nature can do for
comfortable rural homes than Califor-
mia.
1t is sometimes said that. to live in
California one must be wealthy. On
the contrary. there is no other place
where a family of moderate means can
make a living more easily, or where
they can enjoy one-half the Injuries
that are within their reach in Califor-
MIA 1t certainly is not wise for a fam
lily to land there with nothing ahead
One who has not been thrifty enough
to accumulate a little in other places
would hardly succeed there. But little
capital, however is required A small
tract of land, ten or twenty acres, is
ample; a few acres in vineyard and a
few in orchard, both carefully selected
in regard to varieties, and in from three
to five years there is assured an annual
income of $500 TO $4,000 The work
should, and can. be done all within the
family. and this income will therefore
be nearly all net. Expensive buildings
are not necessary, as the weather is
always mild, life in the open air being
entirely agreeable for ten months of
the year.
During the time the orchard is COM
ing into bearing, enough can be raised
between the trees to furnish a family
with subsistence, and as there is no
fruit crop to harvest on the home place,
there is time, as there is always oppor-
tunity, for those who choose, to find
pleasant and remunerative labor upon
places already in bearing, and this may
add materially to the income.
A variety of California literature,
attractively illustrated, describing its
resources, famous resorts and numer-
Gus wonders, also maps and folders
showing routes, through trains and
other valuable information, may be OBJ

UNUSUAL CASE.
Why Jesse Harmer of SpringvilIe
Had to Die.
(Snecial Correspondence.)

SpringvilIe, May 2S.-Last night Jesse,
the 1T-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs A
w. Harmer died from the effects of a
surgical operation which he underwent
last Wednesday. The funeral will be
held tomorrow.
The young man had been sick Tor some
time. due to trouble in his hip On We'd
nesday last DR.. Smart, assisted by DR.;
Dunn and DR.. Allen of Provo. performed
an operation on the hip and removed
three small pieces of bone. The seat OF
the trouble was found to be within the
abdomen. and another incision was mace.
This showed that some time since, Mr.
Harmer had suffered from an attack OK
appendicitis, and an abscess was formed
The pus from this. instead of working
lis way from the body by the usual wav
through the abdominal walls for some
unknown reason penetrated to the MO
Joint which soon became diseased with
the result stated. The surgeons say 1t Is
a new and hitherto entirely unknown case
in medical annals. The young man rallied
we'll from the effects of the operation,
but soon after took turn for the worse.
