Mormon Annual Conference.

Salt Lake, April 4-The seventy
fourth annual conference of the Nor
mon Church was opened in the Taber-
nacle yesterday. and was attended by
more than 10000 church members.
F. President Joseph F. Smith in his
,opening speech expressed qualification
. at the large attendance and especially
at the presence Of many who came
from long distances. He dwelt upon
the divine protection that had been
given the church. and claimed he
could see the hand OF God in its
growth.
Apostle Francis NJ. Lyman. in the
course of his remarks, said:
) I'VE are here that we may have pos
terity. We are here that we may null
tiply and replenish the earth"
! In speaking of the doctrine Of divine
revelation, Apostle Lyman said:
, When President Smith stands up
, to speak, we know God is with him.
, We know that the Lord speaks
through that man. 1t is the mind Of
, the Lord, the purpose of the Lord"
,, No reference was made to the re-
cent investigation of Senator Smoot
at Washington and polygamy was not
mentioned.

Hill Favors Parker.

Albany, N. Y, April 5-From a
source so close to former Senator Hill
that it may be understood as repre-
senting Mr.. Hills own views, it is
learned that it is intended that the
New York delegation to the Democratic
national convention at St. Louis shall
be positively Instructed in favor of
Judge Alton B. Parker as New York's
choice for the presidential nomination.
Senator Hill and his friends now be-
lieve that they will control at least
three-fourths of the state convention
which will be held here April 18th.
1t has been during recent years m
almost unbroken custom for the New
York state Democratic delegation to go
to the national convention with positive
instructions. Only in 1884 were there
no instruction.. In that year Grover
Cleveland and Roswell p. Flower. both
New York statesmen. were candidates

Denver, April Sin good health and

which leo members Of the Grut!i Ver-
Elm found DR.. Johann Jacob Eisenhut
when they called at St. Anthony's hos
pital last Sunday to help him celebrate
his 104th birthday DR.. Eisenhut is a

his brothers go to the hospital and give
a celebration in his honor.
For the last six years the society has

and on each birthday during this time
the members have paid a visit To all
of them yesterday he gave a hearty
handshake and jokingly remarked that
he would greet them in the same man
ner this date in 1905.
DR.. Eisenhut was born in Switzerland
in 1900. Despite his advanced age he
still possesses much vigor, and from his
appearance and actions, one not famil-
lar with his history, would hardly take
him to be so old
Mr.. Eisenhut talks entertainingly OF
his own life and always feels happy
when he has an opportunity to tell
stories Of his boyhood days His early
life was spent in Switzerland and he re-
counts with much pride the time, when

IHE FARM AND RANGE
Peas for Fattenine Lambs.

A correspondent of the Denver News
writing from Saguache. Colo, says:
The efforts of Congressman Brooks
md Senator Teller to secure an appro-
priation for experiments in fattenins
stock in the non-corn producing states
Is being watched with interest in this
section. The farmers have Just dis
covered that an acre of peas will pro-
luce more and better mutton and at
less expense than an acre of the best
corn land in Illinois or Iowa. The
lambs are turned onto the peas stand
ing in the field just as they have
.ipened, about October 20 to November
is, and in sixty days the lambs are
ready for market, with no other feed
The packers unite in saying that the
mutton is the finest in the market, be-
sides dressing out a great deal better
,han even corn-fed mutton. An aver
age yield of peas will fatten from ten
10 twelve lambs per acre. and even
four quarter sections of peas sold to
feeders last year for $1,000, the buy
ers then making a handsome profit
Below are given some of the actual
figures showing the profit in the bust

ting down their wheat acreage.
Farchild Sylvester and his two
sons, Frank and O. W. Sylvester, fed
together about ~ 900 head of lambs.
They will make profit out of the "a
900 lambs of not less than $4,000.
Sam Spencer bought / 500 lambs on

about 81 500 profit. Grant Newmeyer,
who lives ten miles north of Monte
Vista, bought 600 head of lambs on
November |, weighing tifty-four
pounds, and paid $3.50 per hundred.
He sold these lambs on February Is in
Chicago, and their net weight was
seventy-three and three-fourths pounds,
at s6.lO per hundred. A few of the
poorer ones sold at $3.50 He fed at
Lincoln one day and Montgomery six
days. He caught the market and made
net profit of $1.25 per head. l.. H.
Earmire. who lives about nine miles
north of Monte Vista. bought, on
October 27, 75j lambs, paying $3.50
per hundred, weighing sixty-two
pounds He sold on January 16 to a
local buyer for S4.75 per hundred,
making profit of Sl.150. He run
them on 15O acres of peas that was
about one-siXth of a crop. He did not
keep the lambs on the field long
enough to eat up all the peas, and ex-
poets to at least help fatten some
hogs from what is left of the field OF
peas. Chris Settlers bought, on Octo-
Der 2S. 564 lambs. for which he paid
$3.50. They averaged when bought
siXty-four pounds. They were sold in
Chicago on January II at $6.O5 and

received here from Monte Cristo. San
to Domingo, reports that General Epi-
fanoio Rodriguez. being without am
munition. abandoned the town and en-
barked on the German steamer Hes
panla for st. Thomas. This news ia
confirmed by the Dominican consul
here. 1t is rumored that Generals
Rodriguez and Navarro, having aban-
doned President Morales. are trying
to start movement in favor of for
mer President Horatio Vasquez. They
are now believed to be marching on

American Commander Defended,

Odessa, April 2.-Before proceeding
for Sebastopol with the survivors OF
the wrecked Russian war vessels Va
,riag and korietz, Captain Stepanoff
made statement to the Associated
Press regarding the United States gun
boat Vicksburg incident at Chemulpo
He said:
"All the time the Vicksburg was sta
toned at Chemulpo her captain held
aloof. He took no part in the confer
ence of protest preceding the fight, for
the simple reason that he was not in
vited to do so. After the fight. like
the others, he sent surgeon with .
boat to the rescue. AS regards his not
taking Russian seamen aboard the
Wicksburg. this was unnecessary, and 1t
lis more than probable that Captain
Rudineff. commanding the Variag, did
not ask 1t.

with mud, will be discussed, and steps
will be taken to prevent the dumping
of refuse matter in the stream at any

Beet Pulp for Sheep.

Writing from Fort Collins, George
r. Caldwell. correspondent of the Den
yer News, says: Beet sugar pulp is
working revolution in northern Colo
rado market sheep feeding, the use of
the pulp adding to the already estab-
lished lamb-feeding industry the prof
table fattening of older sheep, the
pulp costing but 80 cents per ton, and
mixed with small proportion of
grain proving an admirable prepara-
tory flesh producer, larger grain
feeding being used to finally harden
the pulp-prepared meat into actual
market mutton.
The Union Pacific and the Chicago,
Milwaukee d St. Paul railroads claim
the handling this year of the bulk of
northern Colorado shipments. and
Special Live Stock Agent Jesse Harris
gives the following concerned facts
and figures:
Total northern Colorado sheep fat
tening for this season county 100000
head, an increase of fully one-third
over the marketing of 1903
or these 100000 sheep 325,000 are
lambs, while the remainder are older
sheep fed under the new beet pulp
possibilities. or in other words, beet
pulp feeding has added at least TWEEN
ty per cent. this season to northern
Colorado sheep fattened numbers an
increase which promises to double it's
self next year. as the supply Of pulp
is practically unlimited.
Northern Colorado sheep fattening
points and numbers this season are as
