We have no personal acquaintance
with Rev. DR.. Vann, who has been
elected president of the Baptist Uni
versity at Raleigh, but all we have
heard of him through several years
has been favorable to him as a minis
ter of force and piety. The Baptists
appear to be happy in securing him,
and they rejoice in believing that they
have got the right man. He is said to
be without hands from an early acct
dent, but has a good head and a good
heart.

GREAT CHANCES FOR UTAH FRUIT
oPPoRTUNIT YTo TAKE FRONT
RANK WITH IDAHO.
Phenomenally Large Shipments to
Eastern Markets at Great Profit
to Growers

If the Utah orchardists could fully
appreciate the advantages accruing
from skillful packing of fruit for ship
ment to distant markets, they would
be following the pace set by fruit grow
ers in southern Idaho and be reaping
the financial gains which their neigh
bors on the north are enjoying. That
Utahns will yet wake up to the posi-
bilities that merely are waiting to be
recognized, is not doubted by Phil Mar
tin, the representative of the Earle
Fruit company for the district OF
Idaho and Oregon, who arrived in the
city yesterday.
To illustrate the force of his re-
marks, Mr.. Martin stated last evening
that already this year 800 carloads OF
fruit. each car carrying not less than
20, 900 pounds, had been shipped by his
company from southern and western
Idaho principally, and from the Grande
Ronde valley in eastern Oregon t.
markets in eastern cities, and even tC
England. Special trains of Earle's re-
frigeratOr cars carry the large cOnsign-
ments of fruit, and the distance t.
London has been made in the ShOri
space of sixteen days.
The growers realize at the rate o.
over 81, 900 per car for the peaches

crates and shipped. More money viii

growers this year than last, and mex

accounts. In time MIR. Martin believes
