This is a Good Month TO do the

REASON FOR APPARENT DECAY.

The Use of Tree Wax
Is Essential
I'LL PREVENT TREE FROM DYING.

The following communication has
been received andis herewith published;
EDITOR OF PILOT:-'"The hard maple
tree is certainly one of the handsomest
of shade trees. Some knowledge of tree
planting and not little care for years
afterward, especially in case of draught
when frequent watering must be resort
ed to, are required to produce "a healthy
upon it is pity to see so many of our
fine naples gradually dying. The cause
of the dying off of the branches is prin-
cipally due to lack of sufficient nourish-
ment, due, probably, to the successive
years Of drought that pre- 'ailed from
ten down to three years ago.
Five years ago some of the naples in
front of my house commenced to die. l
had not only the dead branches cut out
but trimmed the trees down 80 that
only half the green branches were left
and the result showed IA stronger growth
the following year, and to-day
the trees have almost recovered
their former size and appear to be
healthy.
To make the cutting down success
it is absolutely necessary that much
more than the dead wood be removed,
otherwise such work is useless. The
cut ends of branches left on the tres
should be painted or covered with tree
wax. These shade trees are certainly
worth an effort to save them. During
this month is good time to do the
necessary pruning"

OBITUARY.
Death of Colonel PAT DOMAIN.

Advices received in this city Tuesday
brought the sorrowful news of the
death of Colonel Pat Donan at his
home in Portland last Sunday 1t is
known that the we'll known newspaper
writer and magazine contributor had
been in falling health, but his friends
here were not prepared to hear of his
demise.
During the boom times dozen years
ago Colonel Pat Donan came to Salt
Lake. His fame as a brilliant, dashing
and 1owery writer had preceded him.
and While here he won added laurels.
1T was he who coined the word
'Utahn, to designate a resident of
Utah, and he named his weekly journal.

Editor Intermountain Catholic;

Editor lntermountain Catholic:
Among the Geographic news of the
papers of today ! read that Felipi Bu-
encamino, former secretary of state in
Aguinaldos cabinet, was heard by the
house committee on insular affairs. He
said he represented the federal party
the influential insurgents and the Kati-
punan (secreD society. Here is one of
his statements, as reported:
Speaking of education, he said the
friars were hostile to the American
government. On Palm Sunday, he as
serted, the friars had told the people
in the confessional that the cholera ex-
listed only in the minds of the Amer-
cans, for the reason, he said, that the
friars desired cholera to spread in or
der that their fees for various attend
ance and ceremonies might be in
creased"
Is it not right and proper that this
Senior Buencamino. who proves to be
a Malcamino" as far as he is a repre-
sentative of his people, should be called
down right at the start of his Amer
lean career? Shall his statements go
unchallenged and unnoticed, or shall
he be asked to prove his assertion
Every Catholic knows how absurd it is
and how untrue. Buencamino is an
ungratefu son of holy church, and
owes his education to the very friars
he maligns He may not know that
there are Catholics alive in this coun-
try and believe that anything against
the religion and the friars of his ISL
ands is pleasingly received here. Where
is the Catholic Union of American
Catholic societies? Please call him
