"The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe

Outstanding by which they expect TO di-
vide coast and San Francisco business,
said one of the men who attended the
conference in this city for the purpose
of planning a fight. 1T all resulted
from the Santa Fe gaining an entrance
into San Francisco, and it means, if
carried out, that the competition that
city expected will not follow. 1t works
also to the injury of the lines that pro-
pose to fight the agreement.
1T is understood that the Southern
Pacific agreed to take off its 'Supset
Limited in order to give the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe clear field in first
class travel to southern California.
All Business Cornered.
Large concessions have been made
by the Southern Pacific to the Santa
Fe on southern California business. and
the Santa FEES demands on San Fran

with in the allotment of large pas
senger traffic to that company volpn-
tarily by the Southern Pacific.
"Other concessions were made, and
all classes of business practically are
controlled by the combination. The
compact provides for the delivery OF
special trains to the Santa Fe at Chi,
cago only, which shuts out the Rock Is
land from participating in the Ray
mond G. Whitcomb business westbound,
that company having heretofore hand
led the Raymond & Whitcomb special
trains. Chicago to Kansas City, deliv-
ering them at that point to the Santa
Fe.
..It also nullifies existing contracts
for delivery of special trains from Cal
ifornia to the Iron Mountain, as the
Southern Pacific insists on hauling spe
cial trains through to New Orleans. The
a agreement even goes SO far as to in
clude brokerage business on the coast
and military business.

is getting the fast train from California,
the only one which carries dining cars

line must be drawn somewhere.
Judge Henderson Talks.
Judge II. p. Henderson said the fight
in Washington against Roberts was a
polygamy and anti-polygamy fight, and
that any action of the committee en-
dorsing Roberts would be construed
the world over as an endorsement OF
polygamy. This the Democratic party
could not afford to do. Sam A. King,

Senator A. o. Smoot of Provo favored
the resolutions. He also said the party

Judge King was opposed to the Raw
Inns resolutions. He opposed any in
quisitorial probing into the local affairs
of the Utah people by any congressional
committee.
Senator r. C. Chambers spoke
against any action on the part Of the
committee, although he favored Sena-
tor Rawlins' resolutions.
Powers Offers Compromise.
Judge o. w. Powers made a concilia-
tory speech. He favored non-action on
the part of the committee on the Rob-
erts case: but since a false impression
had gone out as to the attitude of the
executive committee, something should
be done to set the matter right He.

Before taking up the Roberts matter
the committee discussed the matter OF
organization for the next campaign az
some length. but took no definite action
on the matter of the appointment of a
subcommittee
At the opening of the meeting the
matter of admitting reporters was dis
cussed. Judge Powers moved that they
be admitted. and the motion was sup
ported by Fisher Harris Dale and
Martineau opposed. A vote was taken,
which resulted in a tie. Then the mat

Peculiar Conflict Between Federal and

Peculiar Conflict Between Federal and
County Courts In Missouri.
Kansas City, No., March lathe
judges Of St. Clair county who are
trying to keep out of the hands of fed
eral court officers introduced an innova-
ton yesterday by holding court in the
brush, where the marshals could not
find them. The tangle is becoming de-
cidedly complicated.
Judges Nevitt,. Lyons and Will, who
served until January, and who spent
time in jail here for refusing to obey the
federal courts order to make tax levy
to pay the disputed issue of st. Clair
county bonds, were released when their
term Of office expired. 1t was held that,
as the new judges had not qualified, the
old ones were still in Office, and an order
was issued directing them to make the
levy yesterday, and the order WAS duly
served upon them.
On Monday United States Marshal
Durham learned that the new judges
intended to qualify and thus make the
courts order Of NO avail. He went down
to Osceola in disguise, succeeded in To-
eating two Of the new judges and served
the order on them. They had not yet
been sworn in. but Durham did not
know it. Immediately afterward they
qualified, and then before Durham could
again serve the order they mounted
their horses and rode out of town. Yes
terday they sent for the county clerk
and held court in the brush, where the
marshals we're unable to locate them.

The changed conditions brought about

these purposes. Their real value must

that in the first sheets which were printed
the sea was of delicate lavender color,

there was absolutely no truth in the report.

1.-THE first spraying should be done
early in the spring, before the buds
open, and 1t must be done thoroughly.
The second should be done after the
trees are through Elossoming while the
third may c0me1S to 90 days later.
The fourth spraying is due about three
weeks later. A tree is sufficiently
sprayed when the drops OF the mixture
are seen hanging from the branches
and leaves. Many orchard trees besides
spraying need a thorough scraping, as
in the case of the elm trees. Then the
brush and other waste matter, includ-
ing all dead leaves and rubbish, must
be removed from the grounds and
burned. Do not leave it near the trees
or in the roadway, for the eggs deposit
ed thersin will hatch in the spring. If
there are dead trees Or badly diseased
ones here and there in the orchard cut
them down and burn them. says an
Orange Judd Farmer correspondent.
