ORSON SMITH HAS RESIGNED
PRESIDENT OF CACHE STAKE IS
OUT.
His Successor Has Been Named and
the Announcement Will Be Made
Next Sunday.

Orson Smith, late president of the
Cache stake, forwarded his resignation
from Seattle to the first presidency a
few days ago, and his successor will be
chosen at the Cache conference next
Sunday, for which purpose President
Snow will go to Logan.
This is contrary TO general expecta-
ton. Since President Smith left Le-
gan, some months ago, under rather
sensational circumstances, speculation
mas been rife as to who would receive
the appointment. The general autnori-
ties seemed 10 bother themselves very
little about the matter, and President
SHow was content to say that there
would be no change at present. A
few days ago came the announceme nt
that President Smith was returning
home from Seattle, and the opinion
was then expressed that he would re-
tain his position. This, after all, was
not correct.
1t was something of a surprise to the
first presidency to receive Orson
Smiths resignation by mail within the
last two or three days, but it was ac-
cepted, and his successor was appoint
ed the day following. Who it is the au-
thorities will not dfvulge before the in
stallation takes place Sunday next. The
most probable candidates are Isaac
Smith, S. NJ. Molen and L. R. Marti-
neau, but President Snow. when seen
last evening. would neither affirm or
deny that the place would fall to one

this discussion there was latent acri-
