Work on the new wing at the state

control, Saturday evening. Mr.. Davis
and J. T. Mills, two members of The

fairs of the institution and looking
over several proposed improvements.

SHOOTS PLEDGE BROKEN.
Does Not Challenge PoIygamistie
Apostolic Quorum of Mormons.

NEW YORK, April Ex-senator
Reed Smoot has failed to make good
his pledge to the senate committee on
privileges and elections this spring,
when his case was under investigation.
by challenging the polygamistic char
acter of the apostolic quorum of the
Mormon church.
This information was contained in a
telegram received by Mrs. Darwin r.
James, president of the International
Council of Women, for Christian and
patriotic service, from Frank j. Cam
ron, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Mr.. Cannon's telegram says:
According to Reed Shoots testi-
mony before the senatorial COMMITTEES
at Washington he mad last October
challenged the polygamistic character
OF the apostolic quorum. The investi-
cation was promised by President
Smith. The present conference ends
without Shoots appearance. No ref

and polygamistic character established

Shoots challenge and investigation
were mere pretense. Smoot was guided
entirely by Smith.
Senator Shoots case has not been
finally acted upon, either by the sem
ate committee or the senate itself.
The committee on privileges and cleo
lions is about equally divided on Sem
ator Shoots case, with a posslplilty
that majority may be against him.

WHY CHERRIES FAIL.
Circular Letter Issued by Eugene
Fruitgrowers.

The following circular letter recent
ly issued by the Allen Fruit company
Of Eugene, Ore, will prove of consid-
cradle interest to the growers of RoyaI
Ann cherries:
There has been quite little
trouble with the growing of Royal Ann
cherries on account of their trees not
bearing fruit regardless of the sea-
son. In studying the cause for this
we have been impressed with the fact
that this trouble seems to be almost
entirely with orchards where there is
only one variety of cherries.
"This leads to the conclusion that
the Royal Ann cherry is weak pol
enizer and requires the mixing of va
rieties to insure proper fertilization.
When the season is favorable for the
pollen it will carry much farther than
others, but as a general rule the sea-
son for poisoning is not clear and
warm enough to allow the pollen to
be carried very far.
Experiments were carried on last
year in polenizing Royal AIMS, and
worked so we'll that we wished to give
it to the public SO that they may profit
by teh result. The experiment was
tried as follows: Take a few branches
from the tree of cherry of some
other variety of cherries than Royai
Ann; Black Republicans nave given
good results.
"This should be done just as the
blossoms have come out full; tie these
into the tops of the Royal Ann cherry
trees and it will be found that the
pollen of the cross variety will pollen
ize the Royal Ann cherry blossoms to
such an extent that it will very mate
rally increase the yield. Care must
be taken to get varieties that blossom
about the same time, and if the
branches are large enough the ones
that are cut off will still give enough
to the blossom to allow it to bloom
perfectly.
"This experiment is easily tried,
and if it works as we'll this year as it
did last it will pay well to do the
work, and will materially increase the
crop until such time as the other va
rieties that should be either set in the
orchard have blossomed, or till the top
CRAFTS begin to blossom"

Amusing Story That Comes From the

Down in Washington there is good
nent citizen of Kansas. In the early
part of this month the Kansan arrived

down his grip in front Of the clerk of
the Ebbitt house. He asked for the
room which he had engaged by wire

The proprietor suggested persuaslvely
that as the house was full he would
put another bed in the room which

gentleman and would make no charge

"You see," he said, pointing to the
register, 1.-The room is occupied by

to sharing the room if he does not, will

The Kansan grunted approval and
said he would go himself and inter-

mission was to appeal to congress.
