When the uprising of the Russian

When the uprising of the Russian
masses was filling the newspapers with
sensational news. name which fig
ur"d prominently was that of Father
Gap"n who skyrocketcd into fame as
an idolized leader. but like all sky
rockets he soon fizzled out and fell to
the earth with thud. 1t now appears
that while ostensibly fighting for the
Russian government. Father Gapon ac-
ccpted bribc of $4,000 from the gov
ernment and became spy among the
revolutionists. With his head turned
by his ill-gotten wealth. he eloped
With "A peasant girl. and was next
heard of as a gambler at Monte Carlo.

discouraged when they sec their loved
leader in whom they put such hope and
confidence turn out to be only a giraffe,
and a spy.

Great Profit in Grapes,

There are in Box Elder, Weber, Da-
Wis, Salt Lake and Utah counties 3d.
600 acres OF high bench and hill lands
that are especially adapted TO grape cul-
ture. The drainage is perfect, the Com
position OF tho soil is right and the loca-
ton with slope to the south and west is
ideal for the best results in grape pro-
duction. At present not one tenth OF a
1.-THE OF the grapes consumed In Utah
are grown within the state, yet the lead
ing varieties, such as Muscatelle, Black
Prince, Black Hamburg, Rose Peru, To-
kay and Ziniandel all DO well here when
given proper chance.
Tina. there is a profit in grapes grown
in Utah is aitested by every man who
has ever given the matter u rational
trial. without figuring the product OF
700 vines to the acre yielding twenty
pounds to tie vine and selling, whole
sale, at cents per pound, a result that
may be most conservaliyely estimated
1t is strictly safe to say that vineyard
in Utah properly cared for will produces
an annual revenue Of 10 per cent net OF
valuation OF 81 $50 per acre. TIA
would be 800 after paying the cost o
labor, spraying, picking and packing
These items need not, under any circum
stances. exceed 800 per acre. Thus thu
yield would need to be 500 per acr'
gross ia order to leave 10 per cent ne
return on valuation of 81 900 per acr'
put upon the vineyard With 700 vine
to the acre, yielding only ten pound Il
the vine and selling at 8 cents per pound
the returns would justify the PROPOSE
ton In this latter estimate the yiel'
is put at low figure aud IL is quite Ger
tain that the allowance OF 500 per acr
for expense IS more than ample.
In the light afforded by thess figure
it is indeed surprising that carloads @
grapes from California are annual
shipped into Utah. With proper seleC
ton OF soil, the right cultural method
and up-to-date packing there is no res
son why the Utah product should nc
supplant California grapes in the maj
