General Pflug that the stacks of the

Washington, Mar. 5.-Calling Pres
ident Joseph F. Smith today Attor-
ney Worthington resumed the cross
examination for the defense. He ask
ed if the statistics show the proper
ton of polygamy that existed among
the Mormon poulation Smith replied
that when the Utah Commission
was created in 1882 and undertook
to administer the laws of the terri
tory 1900 polygamists were exclud-
ed from voting. AS women vote
in Utah." he said. "and as it re-
quired at least two women to one
man to form pOlygamy in the state
probably the number of males ex-
cluded did not exceed 1000. At that
time the population was about two
hundred and twenty thousand incln-
ding about fifty thousand gentiles.
Dubois said Smiths statement of
percentages included babies and-chil
dren, and he objected to having the
statement go before the country un-
challenged.
After a further statement of the
number of polygamist families in
Utah Smith read from an interview
he gave to a representative of the
Associated Press in 1902 as follows:
I'm 1890 at the time of President
Woodruff s. manifesto there were
2,451 such families In October, 1899
it was found that the number had
been reduced to 1.543. 1t is now as
certained that it has been still fur
ther reduced to 897 still living. and
that the great majority of them are
of advanced age" Hiram Smith, the
presidents son, is now 80 years old
and has wife. but is no polygam-
list. He is one of the twelve apostles.
In regard to his cousin, John Henry
Smith. the witness said he was in
clined to believe he was cohabiting
with plural wives.
Washington. Mar. 5.-There was a
clash yesterday afternoon between
Senators Hoar and Foraker in the
Smoot investigation over question
asked by Senator Hoar who wanted
to know why President Smith avoid
ed practicing what he held to be
Divine commands. The witness re-
piled because the recent manifesto
stopped the practice. HOar persisted
that according to the witnesses own
statements the practice had not
been stopped. and Foraker interrup-
ted that the witness had gone over
this fifty times and he could see no
purpose In this continued question
ing. Senator Hoar resented the in
terruption. and the two senators rose
and faced each other. II looked as
n there would be q serious clash.

know II Smith considered that he
WAS obeying the laws in having eley
EN- children from different 1others

that he would rather take his chan.

"The generally successful develop ment of the various placer districts of the Copper river valley, together with the showing made by the quartz mines, the promising outlook for oil in Kayak, Coal Bay and other sections make it reasonably certain that the construc- tion of railroad from Valdez to the Yukon, tapping all these districts, the big copper mines and the new Panama diggings will be commenced in the near future" The foregoing predic- tion was made by George M. Esterly, a pioneer of the Copper river valley. Mr. Esterly is operating extensively in the new Nazina district. He is also heavily interested in quartz mines, copper and gold.

Nome in my opinion is just coming into itself, says c. D. Lane, president of the Wild Goose Mining Co. of Nome. The days of scratching around over the surface are about ovor and people are commencing to realize that money invested in modern machinery and the consequent adoption of practical meth ods of mining gravel of a comparative Iy low grade will produce gratifying re- suits. With this knowledge to guide them many companies are commencing the installation of plants consisting of ditches, and elevators. and the like. When these plants get to working the gold production of the district will be greatly increased and conditions gen. erally will assume a far brighter and more substantial aspect than ever be- fore.

From far-away Coldfoot, we'll within the Arctic circle, came two monster tnrnips this week, and the fact that veg etables will not only grow we'll but lux uriantIy within the Alaska region is given a most astonishing demonstra- tion in the two specimens which Mrs. A. J. Tennant, of IF TwentysiXth av- enue south, received from J. II. John son, says the Seattle F. 1. Mir. Johnson was formerly superintendent of the Pa cific Coast Steamship Company and re- sided in Seattle. He has now been min- ing in the North since 1900. Through the medium of friend who left for the outside, Mir. Johnson sent the tur- nips. which he gathered in garden that was maintained at his cabin in Coldfoot. This is at the upper reaches of the Koyukuk river, north of Beetles, and is away north of the Arctic circle. Practically all of the hardier varieties of vegetables and many of the lines indigenous to warmer climates nave grown in this little garden. During the past summer pea vines reached heigh4 of four feet and yielded exceptionally we'll. The garden was the medium of supplying many people with fresh veg etables, so the reports state, and even the tops were cooked and served as "greens." The two turnips which came from this garden have aroused much discussion. They are nearly foot in diameter, but are somewhat light and pithy, owing, it is claimed, to having been picked so late in the season. In the North, so the facts have shown, vegetables mature quickly under the rays of the sun during the hot, short summers. In the winter the ground is frozen to a tremendous depth but at all the principal towns there are maintained hot houses, where few such luxuries for the table are obtain able nearly all the year round.
