In a Public Address in Tabernacle
He Modified and Explained
Statements Made.
RECEIVES REVELATIONS FROM GOD
Before the Senate Investigation Com
mittee in Washington the Mormon
President Said He Did Not.
He FeryentIy Believes That God Has
Made Manifest To Him Many Glo-
rious Things and More Wis
dom Than Is Inherent.

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 20
Mormon church, in public address
in the Tabernacle, modified and ex-
planned his statement made in the
senate investigation committee at
Washington to the effect that he had
received no revelations from God. In
his address President Smith is quoted
as saying with reference to revela-
tionS:
I'm Washington l refused to say
what my inquisitors wanted me to say
in order to get me into trap; that
is, to say that God had given me a
revelation on some new law or pre-
cept which was to be included and
written in the laws of the church. Did
you ever hear me deny that l had
been guided by God? No. No man
ever heard me say this.
Several Revelations.
when 1 was first baptized, as a
child, God revealed to me that l had
done an act which he approved. God
also revealed to me that Joseph Smith
was a prophet of God raised up by the
powerful Almighty. He revealed to
me in terms incOntrOvertible that
Brigham Young succeeded lawfully to
the presidency of the church by the
will of the Almighty. He revealed to
me that John Taylor was the divine
successor of Brigham Young; that
Wilfred Woodruff was the divine sue
cessor of John Taylor, that Lorenzo
Snow was the divine successor of Will
fred Woodruff. l leave it to you to
say whether it is right and lawful for
me to be in this position.
81 fervently believe that God has
made manifest to me many glorious
things and much more wisdom than
is inherent in myself and will con-
tinue to do so as long as l am ready
to listen when he speaks"

TWO EXPLOSIONS TOOK PLACE.
Rescuers Were at Work When the
Second Explosion Occurred and

1t Is Probable the Death List of the
Rescuers Will Reach Between 20
and 3o-Hundreds of People
Visited the Scene.

Fire Creek, w. Va, March 90
Twenty-four are known to be dead
in the Red Ash and Rush Run mines
from the two explosions which occur
red Saturday night.

single.
Eight miners were at work in the
Rush Run and five in the Red Ash
mine when the first explosion occur
red at 9 o'clock.
- The Second Explosion.
Near 2 o'clock Sunday morning a
party of Il rescuers entered Rush Run
mines to locate the dead. They had
probably gone back 1000 feet when
the second explosion occurred, and it
is positively known that all are dead,
as there is no possible chance for
their escape. After the first explosion
miners from other mines nearby rush
ed to the Inflated mine in an effort
to save their comrades, and it is pos
sible the list Of reScuers will reach
20 to 80. 1t was considered unsafe to
enter the mine Sunday, but Monday
eight old and experienced miners
with safety lamps will enter and close
up some of the entries SO fresh air
can be forced back to where the men
lost their lives, a distance of proba-
bly, 1000 feet to the rescuers and s.
600 feet to where the men were work
ing. Hundreds have visited both
mines from other mines, but aside
from the wrecked power houses and a
mess of humanity the mines present
their usual appearance. kilograms
and phone messages from all parts Of
the country have been received ask
ing for information as to relatives and
friends. The only reply that can be
made is that there is no hope of secur-
ing any of the bodies for some time.
The Red Ash mine has been closed up
and will remain SO until the Rush Run
mine can be explored. The mines
connect together in four places by
coal being cut through, under the
same management.

out as Of old, and the best spieler will
get most of the people. Many of the

phasize this fact? Not he He knows
that the people want to be amused.
Have you saw Cora?" he bellows, and
the crowd stops a moment and smiles at
his bad grammar, and wonders who Cora
is. And then he proceeds to tell them of
her marvellous feats of digestion.
"You come on, john" says the little
woman in a last years bonnet. We've
seen enough of them shows"

SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.

Inc SplenQlQ yields OF WneaL, OatS
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to a
most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr.. Geo. M. Girls
void, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly of
Grever, Montana, written on the I'd
Of January, is as follows:
II am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two post offices.
The fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers), horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get a foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine,
clear, soft well and spring water at
depth of from to 25 feet, and lots of
open ever flowing springs"
Telegraphic advices from Medicine
Hat say that seeding has commenced
at Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and 9th
or points. At the former place the
temperature moderated gradually un-
til on the 18th the maximum was As

lows: Doth, AZ and SO; 21st, "a and

At Hartney, further east, on the 25th
OF February the sun was warm and
bright, wheeled carriages were in use
and the plowed fields look as if thew
are ready for the press drills. There
is every appearance that spring has
arrived, but farmers do not wish to be
deceived by appearances and conse-
quently have not commenced to use
their bluestone and seed wheat.

yation of crops. 1t is the ideal soil for
trucking farming.
country, particularly the Atlantic
Coast Line, have established fast
freight service which supplies the
Baltimore and Washington, where
there are 6,5oo,ooo people to feed and
a growing demand for early vegeta-
bles and fruits to fill. The refrigerator
service from Wilmington brings the
products of these fields to New York
tables in SO hours, and, as a usual
thing, the grower of truck is relieved
of most of the responsibility in ship
ment, as it is the regular order for
commission merchants of the Eastern
cities to have their buyers constantly
on the ground at Wilmington and the
neighboring towns during the matur-
ing season, buying the produce on the
station platforms and paying cash on
the spot
There is an association to notify its
members everv morning of the market

to judge, the conditions of handling
produce in an uptodate and thorough

be done for miles around Wilmington

Trucking in East Carolina.

We find in the Southern Farm Mag
azine an article on trucking in the
eastern part of North Carolina. The
conditions are, Of course, quite dit
ferent from those in this state, but
still there is something to be learned
from the account of what is being
cone.
With good soil and a much milder
climate, Florida farmers ought to be
able to make better showings, and
would do so if they were not handi-
capped by excessive freight rates.
We need better roads. The hauling
of acres of fruits and vegetables over
sand roads is. not a light task. The
material is not at hand for macada-
mizing our roads. Oiled roads have
found good and economical in Cali
fornia, why not try them in this state!
Perhaps bad cold, contracted since
l came north of Mason and Dixon s
line, has intensified my wish to be
back along the eastern coast OF North
Carolina, where l spent the past week.
But whether that is the case or not,
it is a revelation to a man OF the iatl-
tude of Maryland, accustomed to see
ing at this time of the year brown
fields and leafless trees, to pay visit
to the trucking section around Will
mingtOn. They've got a climate there
that the Wilmingtonlans justly brag
about, and it does not become tire
some to you to hear about it, some
how, for you feel it. Every breath
Won draw is a pleasure, and you COM
miserate with the bankers and store
keepers that have to spend their days
indoors instead of out in the open.
