Senator Reed Smoot took the stand
in his own behalf this morning. at the
investigation into his right to hold his
ESat as Utahs representative in the Sen
ate. His appearance as q witness at
this tine was rather unexpected. Only
three members of the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Eelections, which is
conducting tho inquiry-Chairman Bur-
rows and Senators Knox and Overman
were present this morning. when At
torney Nancott announced that owing
to the non-appearance of other witnesses
: for the defense, Mr.. Smoot would take
the stand at once. Mr.. Burrows hIIr-
riedly sent for the absent committee
men. suspending the session until they
could arrive. Senators Foraker. DillinR-
ham. Hopkins. Pettus, and Dubois soon
appeared. and Senator Smoot was sworn.
He stated that he was born in Salt
Lake, JANUARY 10. 1862. of Abranl o. and
Annie x. STnoot, both Mormons and the
latter, a plural wife. He WAS married

gan to Alpha NJ. Elders. by whom he
had six children He had had no other
wife and had eohabitated with no other
woman When eighteen years old, he
took the endowment ceremony at his
fathers urgent request He had never
give the details.
Denies Vengeance Oath.
Mr.. Smoot denied that there was any
thing in the endowment house obliga-
lions about vengeance and was surprised
that such a statement should have been
made, as Joseph Smith formulated the
obligation and it had never been
changed and Smith would hardly call

when he was still alive
Mr. Smoot said he moved to Provo
In 1872 where he had lived ever since.
He was counselor to President Smith
fcr five years and in 1900 he became an
apostle Il took no oath as such, he
declared. and when | later took the
oath as United States Senator there
had been nothing in my past to hamper
my work here
Up TO 1884 he had regarded himself a
Democrat Ike his father who came
from Kentucky. Reading and thinking
had converted him to RepubIicanism.
The Senator then gave in detail his
political history up TO the time OF his
election as Senator.
His Friends Mostly Gentiles.
He was consulted as far back as 1895
as a possible candidate for either gov
ernor or United States Senator, said
the witness His friends Were mostly
GentiIes. and ne answered that he
thought he ought first TO get his home
county into Republican lines before he
ran for 60 high an office.
In 1896 only 1900 Republican votes
were cast in the whole State. There
were more IN 1898, and still more in
1900, but the prospects were then so
poor that prior to the election there
were no Republican candidates for Sen
afor. Afterward there were many His
OWN name was mentioned, but he had
previously announced that he would not
run.
Secured Leave of Absence.
Eariy in 1902, he continued, he decided
that he would be n candidate, and in May
he so announced at a public meeting
Prior To that he asked the presidency
of the church if they had any objec-
tions to his candidacy and for a leave
OF absence that would be so definite
that as Senator the church could not
interfere with his duties as such
Permission was given the Let Of Nav.

the exhibit, is we'll pleased with the

Walla Walla valley.
'Of course the exhibit is not COM
plete by any MEANS" Mr.. Morse said
yesterday evening. The commission
has yet to collect samples of vegetables
and early fruits which will be done at
the earliest possible moment. 1 believe
the exhibit will compare favorably with
any individual county exhibit in the
state. The samples of grain, seeds,
nuts, and several varieties of fruits
forming part of the exhibit cannot be
equalled in any country. Every part
of the county is represented in the ex-
hibit and each individual contributor
to the exhibit has been given full
credit

Pioneer of 1852.
1t was early in October. 1852, that
Mr.. Meeker and his young wife arrived
in Portland, after six months of trav-
cling in the open from Iowa across
the plains, the mountains and rivers
to the Columbia. From Portland the
trail crossed the Columbia near what
is now Kalama, and thence skirted the
left bank of the Cowlitz for about 40
miles. Here Mr.. Meeker crossed the
river. The trail was so rough that he
had to send his wife by canoe up the
stream, while he led or drove the two
oxen over the wooden hills and the
mountains. Their destination was
Tumwater, near Olympia, where they
arrived late in October.
Last Saturday Mr.. adm Mrs. Meeker
celebrated in this city the fifty-fourth

INDIA RUBBER.
Process of Tapping the Trees and
Preparing the Sap.

preparing sap
India rubber, or caoutchouc, is dry,
cOagulated, milky juice, the sap of
trees and shrubs Indigenous to the
most unhealthy and inaccessible re-
gions in the equatorial countries of
South America, in certain areas of
west Africa and the Uganda protec-
torate. The mortality among the ma
tives in the quest for rubber is enor-
nous. The natives are equipped for
their hunts by the brokers and venture
to the haunts of the caOutchOuc trees
in boats and by marches through miles
Of thick forests. But the climate car
ries off the rubber hunters like flies,
and the percentage of those who re-
turn from the expedition is very low.
Many properties of a vegetable emul-
sion are. possessed by the sap, which
contains the caoutchouc in the form Of
myriads of minute globules. The proc
ess Of tapping the trees for the sap is
closely akin to the method of extract
ing sirup, from the maple trees in
North America. The sap is collected
in large vats. The juice is then sub
mitted to heat and smoke treatment.
A fire of palm nuts is made, and pole
is inserted in the vat containing the
viscid fluid. When withdrawn from
the vessel the end Of the pole is be-
smeared with the sticky substance.
The rubber is then held in the smoke
issuing from the palm nut fire until
the sap coagulates. The treatment in
the peculiar smoke effects the curing
of the rubber.
When the operation is completed the
pole with it's charge is once more I'M
mersed in the vat Of raw caoutchouc
and the smoke and heat process re-
peated and so on several times until
there is a large knob or accumulation
of rubber upon the end Of the pole con-
stituted of hundreds Of thin layers OF
rubber. The end of the pole Is then
cut out of the rubber, and the spherical
mass is duly examined by the broker
and labeled according to its quality.

Neither host nor hostess can give the
signal for leaving the table, but must
await the royal pleasure. If the queen
or a princess be present, when she rises
she is followed by the hostess, who for
the moment is the lady in waiting. AS
it is not the proper thing for servant

to the hostess, who herself offers 1t to
