THE GREAT FRUIT COMPETITION.

1t is already evidentsthat consider,
able proportion Of the interest in the
coming Irrigation Congress al Boise re-
wolves around the fruit competition.
That seems to be the opinion at Boise
and undoubtedly the keenness Of tho
interest felt in that competition is stir.
ring all the competing States to their
profoundest depths
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Utah
all are certain to send there such ex-
hlblts OF fruits as have never before
been seen in this interior region. The
preparations to place these on exhibi-
ton are so elaborate as TO call forth
the admiration of every one interested
In this matter, Streets for four blocks
have been fenced in, and shelves and
tables have been prepared on which to
place the fruit upon which the Judges
will pass,
1t is evident that Utah, in her strug-
gle to capture tho Clark cup, will have
TO do far better than she has ever done
before on any occasion whatever,
Utah 8 fruit exhibit at the Congress,
when it was held in Ogden, was very
fine, but it was marred by the pres
cnce on the exhibiting table of some
fruit that had been "stung.' That is,
tho moth was in it, and that was fatal
to Utah's pretensions for drawing the
first prize. 1T is not always easy to
select large quantities Of exhibit fruits
which will be absolutely free from raw.
age and perfectly clean; but that will
have to be done this time il Utah ex-
poets TO capture that cup, The most
rigid inspection of all fruit intended
for the competition should be made be-
fore tho fruit is shipped. If this is not
done there will be no time on its ar.
rival at Boise to sift out the bad from
the good. None that is bad or in any
way defective should be shipped; moth
ing but the very choicest, the best to be
had from all the orchards throughout
the State.
We urge the most careful cxamina-
tion of every separate article, apple,
peach, pear, plum, apricot; whatever is
sent should be closely inspected before
the shipment is made from this State.
Unless this is done there is danger
If Utah wants that cup, it will have
to fight for it as IL cup was never
before fought for in any such contest.
There are plenty Of experts in Utah
capable OF sorting out fruit SO as to
present nothing but the cleanest and
the best. These experts, enough of
them at least, will have TO be on hand
and exercise their vigilance and expert
skill in making the selections. We urge
that this be done faithfully, intelligent.
ly and with the most coldblooded ex-
pertncss. II should be done without do
lay and it should be done thoroughly
Let us hayo no more regrets as we
had in the Ogden exhibit, that If it
hadn It been for certain wormy fruit
Utah would have won. Let us see that
that wormy fruit does not get there at
all, and that excuse, at least, will be
eliminated. The utmost care. skill, and
vigilance are required in preparing this
exhibit. Now is the time TO apply the
same. Afterwards it will be loo late.

Co-EDs WON'T MARRY.

New York Sun.
Statistics Just issued by Secretary Ar
thur F.. Bester Of the Alumni associa-
tion OF the University OF Chicago show
that OF the 1860 women graduates OF
the university since its re-eetabllsh-
ment In 1893 only III or about IS per
cent, have married.
II is conceded that the pa girls
graduated in the classes OF the last two
years should have more time. but the
same consideration cannot be given TO
those who were graduated before, and
the ofncials have no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION TO give for their lack OF in
terest Ia matrimony.
This failure OF the co-cds TO we'd Ia
not confined to any one class. In fact,
1894 the year following the world s
fair, not one has married.
The officers OF the university deny
that there is anything in the sugges-
tion that the restrictions at the uni
Yersity against college courtlns and en-
gagements between students has any
thing TO do with this showing, nor do
they believe that the average age OF tho
women graduates has had any effect,
although the statistics show that the
average age OF the women who have
graduated has been very close TO 2S,
while the men have been younger.
The students figure out that the fac
uity regulations have done more than
anything else to turn the girls heads
TO other matters than natrimony. They
are almost unanimous in declaring that
the university authorities have placed
such restrictions on college counting
that younger girl students go elsewhere
to college.
They cite the large number OF engage
ments at Northwestern university as
proof of this claim.

SIZE OF RELIEF FUND.

San Francisco Chronicle.
We are asked to point out that while
the Eastern papers continually refer to
the San Francisco relief fund as any
where from sl5.000.000 TO $50. 900 900, the
actual collected receipts amount TO less
than S6.000000." We have dwelt on this
mistake and some of our Eastern con-
temporarles have taken notice OF the
misapprehension under which they wero
laborlng for a while, but it will be more
difficult TO dlsabuse some Of those in our
midst that the amount contributed is
fabulously large and that it ought to be
divided up without reference TO whether
the person sharing In the division IS IN
need or we'll able to take care OF him
self, as many applicants undoubtedly
are.

A BIRD-LovER,s LEGACY.

New York World.
The 100000 left by Albert Wilcox TO
the National Association OF Audubon
societies Is notable legacy-more nota-
BILE in some respects than bequests Of
the mere regulation order ten times Its
size. It evidences a sentiment not Gus
tomarily looked for in one ensrossed In
business pursuits. There Is an agreea-
BILE evidence OF idealism In this gift for
the protection OF wild birds and animals
by a man whose life work lay along ma
terial lines.
The bequest should do much TO further
a movement which within recent years
has done wonders for the preservation
of bird and animal life, but which yet
has probably accomplished more for, its
protection through the moral safeguards
erected by an awakened public opinion
There is the expectation that the soci-
cites may beneit to the extent OF $780,
600 more from the residuary estate OF
Mr.. Wilcox.
