LITTLE CHANGE IN CROPS.
The Conditions Average Favorable
Throughout State.

The governments Utah crop bulletin
for the week ending last Monday says:
Comparatively cool weather pre-
vailed thas week, particularly over the
southern portion of the state. Precipi-
tatiOn was fairly generous, some south
eTn valleys receiving heavy rains with
some hail. This precipitation was
timely and corn and lucerne were i'm
proved and the water supply greatly
increased. Local reports indicated
some injury from dryness where irriga-
ton water was unavailable; and winds
and insects were also q deleterious fea-
ture, though less than last week. Grain
harvest and thrashing were well along,
with average returns secured from the
machines. The second crop of lucerne
was being cut and stacked in good con-
dition, but the yield was below the
average. Timothy and millet We're
promising abundantly in the northern
counties. Beets were continuing thrifty
with some rare exceptions, where white
flies and other insects were ravagfng
the crop. Garden truck continued good,
with the exception noted last week, OF
the general blight in tomatoes. Apples
were improving, and plums were ripen-
ing profusely. The range pastures
were generally poor, though they We're
much improved In many localities: and
stock We're reported In good condition.

arrival OF the various editions of the

LITTLE CHANCE FOR FAIR.
Probability OF Weber County Assoeia-
TONS Holding Annual Event This
Year Grows Less.

The prospects for the holding Of a
county fair this fall by the Weber County
Fair association are not encouraging. not
withstanding that the city council on
Monday night appropriated $500 to aid the
enterprise and that the county commits
sioners have promised $500 more. 1t is
very doubtful If either of the appropria-
lions would stand or could be collected.
In the case OF the city's donation the
mayor has the veto power and even
though he should not use it, it is quite
possible that the treasurer might refuse
TO pay the warrant. The Weber County
association merely has the standing Of
any other corporation, although ii is not
organized to make money. Consequently
il Is Illegal for the city or the county
to make such an appropriation

passengers on the steamship Mongolia,
which has arrived here from the
Orient, is Wong Kai Kah, Chinese I'M
perial trade commissioner, accompanied
by his secretary. He is going TO Wash
tngton. 1t is stated that the object of
his trip is to discuss the boycott and
the proposed new exclusion treaty.
He wishes to impress on the Ameri-
can people that the Chinese govern
ment has nothing to do with the boy
colt or American goods and says, that
this is private enterprise" on the
part of the merchants and the gentry
OF the F1owery Kingdom and is the re-
suit of our treatment of the favored
classes who come to this country. He
said today:
Nothing to Do With Boycott.
'T shall probably go to the different
commercial centers which have trade
with our country. l have nothing to
do with the boycott, nor is my mission
TO the United States with reference to 1t

is not an official in China who has any

Originated at Honolulu.
The Mongolia brings news that the
boycott is stated in Honolulu to have
had it's origin there, where 1t was
urged among Chinese as long ago as
February, 1904. Ching Yee ON, editor
of local Chinese daily paper which
has some circulation in various parts
OF China, claims TO have been the orig
inator Of the movement. a year and a
half ago he urged such action upon his
cOuntrymen, on the ground that their
government was not strong enough to
resist the treatment being given by
Americans to Chinese having a right
to travel IN America
The steamer Mongolia, which was in
Annoy on July 10, had some dffH-
Guilty in getting Chinese coolies to work
on her cargo.
The boycott was to have been de-
clared the following day.

ORDERS SIX MONTHS AHEAD.
Boycott Will Be Hard to Maintain in
Consequence.

San Francisco, Aug. 10. w. David
son, acting consul general at Shanghai
who arrived from the Orient today,
says that the cause of the Chinese boy
colt is the discourteous treatment
which the sons of influential Chinese
officials have received at the hands OF
immigration officials on landing at San
Francisco.
Mr.. Davidson fought that the fact
that orders had already been placed for
six months ahead for delivery OF
American goods would prevent the boy
colt being successful; but he admitted
that a popular anti-foreign feeling
might be aroused which would carr
the fight beyond control and result in
serious consequences.
THE purpose of the boycott" he said
has never been to secure the admission
of coolies, but to gain proper treat
