FRUIT CROP DAMAGED.
Salt Lake County Peaches Suffered
From Frost.

In many localities of Salt Lake coun-
ty the recent cold snap did inestimable
damage to the fruit crop. On the north
bench in this city County Fruit Tree
Inspector Sorenson reports the buds
Of peach and cherry trees as having
suffered considerably from the frost.
In the southeast portion of the city,
and in Sugar ward, Deputy Inspector
Allen has discovered innumerable
blights from frost to the peach and
apple orchards.
In Draper, except along the bench
orchards, Deputy Inspector Smith
found the prospects slim for peach,
pear, cherry and apple crops. but the
prune trees are uniniured. The same
conditions were found to prevail in
Union precinct.
Across the river, southwest, the clay
soil is not adapted for peach culture,
and last weeks frost bites did not take
hold of the buds. The apple, plum and
pear crops win be bounteous there this
summer.
In all the localities reported, the sour
cherries have weathered the cold snap,
While the sweet variety is damaged
very considerably.
The regular meeting of the Fruit
Growers association of Salt Lake coun-
ty will be held next Saturday after
noon at the joint building. All orchard
lists are invited to attend. An instruct
i've programme has been prepared.

Closing Entertainment By the School
PUPILS

The audience that assembled at the
First Congregational church last even
ing to listen to the concluding enter
tainment by the Oquirrh school, al
though not quite as large as on the
previous evening, was even more re-
sponsive.
The exercises of the evening were
opened with the 'Amorita Waltz" by
the Oquirrh orchestra. The selection
was most delightfully."- rendered, the
young people responding to a hearty
encore, and executing Long Phillips
March, Short talks, illustrated by
stereopticOn, upon Switzerland, by Miss
Irma Davis; Norway and Sweden, by
Miss Erma Rivers and Master Bert
Driscoll, were given in a manner that
would have reflected credit upon much
older pupils. Miss Lola Cochler fol-
lowed with a piano solo entitled
'scherzo," by Karganoff. and was rap
turously encored.
THE Flower Girls" a drill by six
teen little girls from the first and sec
ond grades, who were very prettily
dressed in pink, was a beautiful thing,
and won for the little people and for
the school unstinted praise.
Further illustrated talks upon Eng
land, by Miss Agnes Tuckerman: Scot
land and Ireland, by Erma Pendle-
don Higgins. and the Madonnas, by
Adelaide Odell, We're given, when
came Farewell, Sweetheart" by the
Oquirrh orchestra, finely played. Miss
Lily Pye also appearing and singing
most acceptably.
The character duet by Orvey Post
and Romaine Kingston. who imperson-
ated Two Men of the Olden Time"
was loudly applauded. Each of the
young men performed his part to per-
lection, and responded to a hearty en-
core. This was one Of the very best
numbers on the programme.
Miss Judith Anderson, in The
Dream" sang very sweetly, Professor
Evan Stephens acting as accompanies.
The orchestra closed with lullaby
from "E,rminie' and with a stirring
song. Flag of the Free each of which

LANDS FOR INDIANS.
Superintendent Graves Guest In the
Reservations.
Especial correspondence.)


Price, April 2e.-Walter D. Graves,
superintendent of irrigation on the vari-
Gus Indian reservations throughout the
country, came in few days ago from
Arizona, and after resting up here Went
out to the reservations of the u1ntan
and UncompahgreS where he Will spend
some time in looking into irrigation mat
ters His chief purpose is to create
homes for the 800 or 400 White.R River UteS
and their offshoot that were brought over
from Colorado when these Indians We're
moved in 1850. There is plenty of land
for them. but heretofore there has been
no water for farming. This problem, ne
thinks, can be solved by utilizing the sur
plus waters of the UinSah river and other
streams crossing and adjacent to the res
ervation. Unless this can be done, these
White River UteS will be taken to some
other part of Uncle Sans domain. These
people, at least the head men of the tribe,
have long been disturbing element on
the reservation, and 1t may De dscadsu'
after consultation with Indian Agent My

them out of the country entirely. They
are characterized as natural born kick

Work has been temporarily stopped on
the canal project of Walker Bros. of
Salt Lake which is calculated to use,

gate 6, 900 acres of table lands in Uintah

looked into thoroughly by Mr.. Graves,
and if he shall recommend the scheme to
the secretary of the interior. work will
go ahead, and Mr.. Graves will have the
say-so as to where and at what point the
water shall be taken out. 1t may be that
instead of allowing Walker Bros. to go
ahead with their enterprise, this water
will be utilized for the benefit of the now
homeless White Rivers.
Advices from White Rocks agency
would indicate that Indian Agent Myton
has made no progress with Old Sowowic
and the other chiefs of the White Rivers
in the matter of trying to induce them
not to go back into Colorado. which they
say they propose doing when the water
in the Green river goes down so they
can cross over. The matter is still in
about the same shape as when Special
Agent Harper left here ten days ago, at
the conclusion Of the conference with
about 300 of them. They then said they
we're going back. They were told the
soldiers would kill them. The Indians re-
piled they would fight, The warriors are
being closely watched by the government
officials and army officers.

"COPPER" ACT' STILL IN FORCE
BOARD OF PARDoNS HAS RE-
CEDED FROM ITS POSITION
In Executive Session Yesterday the
Board Concluded to Stand By the
Old Rule.

Two weeks ago the question was
raised before the state board of par
donS in executive session that, under
the constitution, no reduction of time
served by convicts in the state prison
could be granted for good behavior,
unless each particular case came before
the board upon formal application for
pardon, and proceedings were had in
conformity with the act regulating the
granting of pardons. The concensus
of opinion of the pardoning board at
that meeting was that the copper
act" as it is Familiarity termed, was in
conflict with the constitution, which
was construed as requiring a full hear
ing by the board after published notice
of intention to hear each separate APP
plication for reduction of sentence for
good behavior, as in cases of pardon.
But the beard OF pardons, at an eX-
ecutive session yesterday afternoon,
resolved to dismiss the question upon
which some of the members had held
the view that the point in contention
possessed sound, constitutional merit.
The effect of yesterdays decision will
be that each convict whose conduct is
certified to the board by the warden
of the state prison as having been eX-
emplary, may continue to earn his
coppers-that is, reduction Of sentence
in increasing ratio by months. without
following the red-tape procedure laid
down for applicants for full and COM
plete pardons.

recent legislative act known as the
Sorenson bill, which tends to remove

illusions on this question, but this, of

BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Projected Enterprise of Salt Lake
Capitalists at Provo.
Especial Correspondence

tSDeCldl 1OII
Price, April 29.-Representatives of Den
yer and Salt Lake capitalists have been
here during the week looking into big ir-
rigation proposition for Castle Valley.
Above Castle Gate and some fifteen miles
from Price there are three or four reser-
voir sites where the surplus waters of
Price river could be stored and brought
down the valley during the summer as
needed through one of these canals. To
the south and east of Price there are big
bodies of land as fine as there is in eastern
Utah that could be made into good farms
If water were put upon it. The plan of the
promoters is to get control of one of the
ditch companies, and by enlarging the
canal run the water down from the stor-
age reservoir as it is wanted. The site
they this week inspected would afford
them about what is wanted and would
make a lake about three miles in length
and an average width of half a mile. 1t
would be fed by the melting SHOWS and
rains about Cotton.
The men who were here looking the
proposition over are believed to have IL
preference for the Hills canal, lately COM
pleted. and by which the rich lands on
what is known as Miller flats. could be
watered Fully 10000 acres could he Sc
