Select Varieties of Pecans.

If YOU are thinking of setting out
some pecan trees this season, the
following from The Nut Grower con-
t,ins some information about varieties
that NAV he of interest to you
Ar all meetings of The National
\ut Growers Association discussions
of varieties have been a regular and
interesting feature of the program.
At ST. Louis the work took a practl-
cal turn in summing up and tabulat-
ing the opinions of members who were
present. and the, purpose of this aru-
Gle is to give a concise review OF that
feature of the Conventions work.
Following the general discussion Oh
varieties. which is reported in full IN
the Proceedings of the Convention, the
mmebers were furnished slips and re
ouested to write down, In Order Oh
their preference. the names OF fVe OF
six varieties most favOrably regarded
by the person taking part in the plah-
Nearly all the prominent and eX-
perienced growers who were present
made out and turned into the secre-
tary. a list of their selection OF Varle-
ties best adapted to general use III
their respective localities, which by
the way covered all the Gulf Coast
territory and Texas. In summing up
the reDOrt.s thus obtained, it was found
that eighteen varieties were listed,
and the most notable feature of the
tabulatiOn was that the Stuart was
embraced in every list submitted
The next prominent feature was the
fact that no one reported in favor of
the Rome or any of its synonyms.
An analysis of these returns can
hardly fail to carry strong convlc-
tiOu that the varieties mentioned by
half. or over half of those reporting,
are, i'm the light of. our present knOWl-
edge, the most desirable for general
planting. Only four nuts reached this
distinction. viz. Stuart. Van Deman,
Frotscher and Schley. in the order
named. except that the last two had
Be- the same percentage.
The next class. having the favor
of p per cent and over OF all the
repOrts. also embraced four varieties,
i'm the order named: Pabst, Georgia,
Curtis and Russell. the last two as in
the previous case, having the same
percentage 5
The remaining ten varieties drop
into two classes. with about the same
percentage in each. The third class
also of four varieties had over ten per
cent of the reports and Alphabetical
Iy arranged are Alley. Gregg, Halbert
and MOneymaker. The fourth class
had less than 10 per cent, but en-
braced some of the finest known nuts,
but ones which are largely of recent
introduction and not yet widely
known. or tested beyond their place
of origin. They were six in number:
Atlanta. Mangum, Risien, Senator.
Stevens and Success. Subsequent re-
ports of this kind will doubtless give
different results as new varieties come
to light and the older ones are rested
to a greater extent; but those men
toned i'm the first group can safely be
regarded as finely established and sure
TO hold most prominent place In the
industry. even though other varieties
fully as good are originated i'm the
future, Such Il test as this. while not
absolute. shows the trend of reliable
opinion. .

LITTLE EDDIE

Quiet (9moaign Of Edy irl Nc
Larnck Has Been rrOduc-
tive Of Results,
TUNNEL NOW 400 FEET LONG.
Has 0pened a Fine Body Of Milling
Ore Exposed Tor ESQ Feet
On Strike.

For several months past Edward Nc
Carlck has been carrying on a quiet
campaign of development at the Little
Eddy mine In Bingham. According to
G. gentleman well known In the camp,
who came into the city last evening,
Mr. McCarrlck has succeeded IN OPEN
ing up a fine showing Of ore in the tun-
mel in which all work has been con-
centrated since last November. The
adit has been driven into the hill for a
distance of little over 400 feet and
under an Immense bedded vein Of cop
per ore. which has been exposed for
something ike $50 feet on It's strike.
The vein has been developed on It's dip
for fully 200 feet and cross-Cuts run
through It show it TO have "a thickness
Of from 10 to 10 feet. Two other veins
are known to lie under the vein Just
opened but these VIII be given atten-
ton at a later date.
Il consider that Mr. McCarrick has a
mighty ine showing, said the 'News'
informant, and, indeed l believe he
has made some of the most important
developments that have been recorded
I'm the camp for some time as it has
demonstrated that the mineral zone Of
the district Is larger than some had
supposed,
THE vein has a porphyry filling and
this Is impregnated with sulphides
which viii give some big assays in cop
Per The vein, as q whole. carries
splendid milling values.
Mr. McCarrlck, when asked to give
further details concerning the late de-
Nclopments i'm the Little Eddie, declared
there was nothing he could say at this
time further than that he is very well
satisfied with the way things are go
ing; but he preferred to carry de-
velopments forward a little more before
doing very much talking.

PRELIMINARlES NOT YET ARRANGED
AND WORK ON PANAMA CANAL DELAYED

Oyster Bay, Aug. 27.-Theodore
Shonts, chairman of the isthmian canal
commission, was a diner with Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt this evening. He came
to talk over with the president some
matters in connection with the canal
work.
Chairman Shonts said in response to
Inquiries about the resignation of SUI
perintendent Prescott, of the Panama
railway, that Mr.. Prescott had resigned
presumably because of structures made
upon his conduct Of the road. He said
Mr.. Prescott had been succeeded by
Mr.. Baird of the Rock Island system,
who is now en- roNte to Panama to as
sumo his new duties.
Il have Laid off all steam shoveIs, -
said Mr.. Shonts, until the railroad
tracks have been put into proper con-
dition for their use. l found when 1
was on the isthmus at least six steam
shovels out of which the operators
were not getting to exceed % per cent
of efficiency. That condition could not
be allowed to go on, so we have or
dered all steam shovel work discOn-
tinued for the present.

o. G. Cox, a well known Salt Lake man,

Alice Ferguson died as the result of an
alleged criminal operation which DR.
Payne is said to have performed The
mother is a leading witness against the
doctor. The father is widely known
among railroad men, both here and in
Ohio.
soon after DIR. Payne's preliminary
hearing Mrs. Ferguson went to- her fora

In which the mother and daughter resid-

Copies of these letters are in the pos
session of County Attorney 2. p Chris
Jensen, and he consulted Chief of Police
William J. Lynch on the case. The letters
advise Mrs. Ferguson against coming TO
Salt Lake, in fact, almost implore her to
stay away. One says that should she
come here warrant would probably be
served upon her.
The police were looking for Cox last
evening Up TO a late hour he had not
been found.
