letin No. 8, diyislon Of Pomology, entitled,
The Fig: Its History, Culture and Cur
ing" 1t was prepared by Gustav Eisen,
Phi. D., and the earliest observations on
which the bulletin is based were begun
many years ago during visit OF the author
TO the fig districts Of the Mediterranean
Countries. Later on investigations were
made by DR.. Essen in Mexico, Central
ATierica aud California, principally tha
latter.
The recent successful Introduction OF the
BlRstophaca into the hg-growing sections
OF the United States by the department OF
Agriculture almost certainly assures the
production OF brst-elass smyrna hgs, which
will doubtless greatly encourage and stim'
ulate the industry.
The bulletin gives n complete history OF

TRIBUNE'S COMBINATION PIPE DREAM.
Informs The Various Implement Houses of the City of Scheme
to Consolidate Them Under One Management.

The managers Of four farm implement
companies operating from this city were
very much surprised this morning.
Through the kind solicitation Of the
Tribune, they received information OF
a deal Of vast importance, in which they
We're all alleged to be engaged. but
which none Of them knew anythlns
about. 1t Is not marvellous that they
were surprised. Said one Of them: ITO
have Information regarding the inner
workings Of ones own business come
from the outside is enough to make one
drop his coffee nervously into his
lap"
The alleged deal which caused all this
establishment was purported to be an
amalgamation OF the implement and
vehicle houses of Salt Lake. The Coop
Wagon and Machine company, the Con
solidated Implement company, the Utah
Implement company and Studebaker
Bros. were set forth as being the firms
who would combine, and there was an
assurance about the stating Of the
proposition that made It look certain.
But not so.
II had heard nothing OF II until saw
the Tribune this morning. said MI.
NJ. d. Whitney Of the Utah Implement
company. mot even a whisper Of any
thing Of the kind had come 60 me. AS
far as | know it Is absolutely without
foundation Inasmuch as ! see that our
firm IL in the deal, ] feel that ought to
have heard Of f."

op. Wagon and Machine company, had
