of $1,VOO.
The Panguitch Coop, the Oldest insti-

30 cents, an equivalent of 40 per. cent on
ats capital of $4,000.
Cameron q SeVy, another Coop insti-
tuition, declared a dividend of 25 per cent
on a capital of about $4,000.
There is, however. a movement on foot
this morning to consolidate the Pam

Coop, and make of 1t an equitable Co

loo stockholders of the two Institutions

WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE
Secretaries Root, Taft and Bonaparte
and Attorney General Moody
Were Present.

Washington, Jan. 5.-An important con-
ference which covered a wide range OF
discussion of the internal management
of the war and navy departments was
held at the White House tonight. 1t
was participated in by Secretaries Root,
Taft and Bonaparte and Attorney Cen
eral Moody and lasted from $3.50 O'Clock
to 1870. None of the cabinet officers
present was willing to say specifically
Just what matters were under discus
sion, but Secretary Taft, in response to
questions, admitted that any conclusions
which may have been reached were not
matters for legislative action, but were
such as would require only executive
approval. The proposed changes in the
navy personnel bill affecting the promo
ton Of officers, which is now before con-
greSS were mentioned during the even
ing's discussion. From the length Of the
conference it is believed that matters
affecting the Philippines, Panama. San

may have been brought up.

RAILROAD RATE
BILL DISCUSSED
Two Hours Session of the Senate
Committee on Interstate
Commerce.
PLAIN TALK BY TILLMAN
NO DEMOCRATIC TAIL TO PRES
DENTS KITE.

Washington, Jan. 5.--The senate com
mittee on interstate commerce met for
the two hours today and discussed rate
regulation in a general way.
Senator Delivers bill is regarded as
likely to draw administration support,
and the author is trying to shape it SO
as TO draw some Democratic support.
The Iowa senator conferred with Sen
ator Tillman for an hour after the COM
mittee had adjOurned.
Delivers Motion Failed.
At today's session Of the committee
Senator DOlIfver moved to take up his
bill and consider it section by section.
He argued that If the bill could be
taken up and all portions on which the
committee could not agree be voted out
II would furnish basis for an early
report to the senate. He failed to OBJ
tain the adoption of his motion or any
decision in regard to 1t, but 1t was
agreed that an early consideration Of
the various pending measures should
be had. This agreement, however, did
not take the form of a definite pro-
gramme.
House Sure to Pass a Bill.
The indications are that the house
will pass a bill and that the measure
Will come to the senate before a report
Is had from the senate committee on
interstate commerce. Il the house
passes the Hepburn bill that would
bring before the senate a measure al
most Identical with the Dolliver bill
Senator Dolliver stated today that if
his bill is rejected by the senate com
mittee he will make a minority report,
which will bring it before the senate,
and that he would move to substitute
IL for any measure reported by the COM
mittee II such measure were not sat
lsfactory 10 the administration.
As far as could be learned today, the
senate Democrats will not unite on any
bill. Senators Tillman and Newlands.
both members of the interstate COM
merCe committee, have bills pending.
The former said today that Senator
Delivers bill was an elaboration of the
ideas that he had advanced in his brief
measure, and that he could support it

1t was then FIVE o'clock and an ad-
journment was taken until the next
morning.
When the little court house bell be-

idly filled, and soon the small room
was thronged with eager spectators.
The work of the day was entered
upon promptly by the calling of the

SUMNER FAlLOWING.
Much in Favor in Canada, Especially
in Alberta-Good Where Rain
fall Is Light.

In the Bible days summer following
was in great repute. References are
made in the Scriptures To men VINO
were so greedy of gain that they
wuold not allow their land to rest.
The Mosaic law provided for a rest
for the land every seven years. Some
men have assumed that because fal-
lowing was good in Palestine it was
also good throughout the whole world.
But tile farmers of Europe and Amer
lea learned long ago that summer
ifallow was rot necessary in land
where rainfall is abundant As we go
west towards the Rocky mountains we
find the summer fallow more and
mcro popular. The farmers of AL
berta claim that it is of no use to
farm without the summer fallow, but
there the annual rainfall is only one
third OF that of the state of Illinois,
We find summer fal.owing is being
uracticed in Canada. at least as far east
at Maritoba, but the rainfall in Man
itoba is so much greater than the rain
fall in Alberta that it would seem
there almost an unnecessary Practice.
Some of the best farmers of Manitoba
are preaching against the summer fall
low. We never expect to see the sum-
mer taIlow become again popular in
the United States, says Farmers Re-
view, except in the regions where rain
fall is slight or where irrigation is

Mr.. Barnstead, slightly flushed and
irate. left the witness stand.
Mrs. Hamilton's testimony came
next, and was given in a graceful.
though shrinking manner. She re-
lated the various tests to which she
had subjected the two claimants at
various times, and said that both had
responded readily. but that the do
fendant invariably hesitated for a
moment before replying, but that the
plaintiff did not.
The judge at this juncture proposed
in the presence of the jury. if there
was any point which remained unset
tied in her own mind.
There is one," said Mrs Hamilton

feeling in expectation of something
unusual about to take place.

enough.

Boise. Idaho-It has been deter
mined to designate the meeting of the

in Boise in September, as The Hun
dred Million Dollar Congress- In
Other Words, agitation is then to be
started to secure a direct appropria-
ton of SlO0,00O,OO0 from Congress to
supplement the reclamation fund.
This has been determined upon after
consultation with many of those who
are leaders in the work of the con-
gress. The present fund is compare
lively small as compared with the num-
Der of available projects. 1t is swelIed
only by the land sales and by the pay
ment in ten-year installments by farm
ers of the cost of construction of
works.
The success attained is so great that
it felt the fund available for the pur-
pose should be expanded so the work
of opening arid land as homes for the
people could be accelerated.

CHAPTER Xxx.
"You Are Henry Ashley"

"You Are Henry Ashley"
He then spoke of the examination,
of when being found of unsound mind
cape and supposed death by drown
ing. With the cunning of insanity it
now appeared that Mr.. Hamilton had
induced weak-minded vagrant to
exchange clothes with him. and with
the disguise thus afforded succeeded
in getting clear of the town. The
man who resembled Hamilton in gen.
eral appearance was afterwards
drowned and identified as a patient
of the asylum chiefly by his clothes,
as the body was unrecognizable from
having been so long in the water.
ut must have been a strange fatal
ity or blind instinct which led him to
seek employment at his own mill,
and boarding place at the house of
Mrs. Fry, woman previously well
known to himself and wife, the recipi-
ent. as she AYERS. of many favors
from himself and wife.
He saw his wife and children at
church. His wife was greatly moved
by his resemblance to her husband.
iic WdS, disO. HluCN excited Dy ner
locks and those of Perley and Clare.
He knows nothing of all this now,
but I can prove it by the testimony
of Dan Fry and his mother. From
that time he began to watch her
house, his former home, one night
standing in pouring rain until he
was drenched and made sick In con-
sequence. Although he knew little of
music previously. he purchased a vio-
lin and became good performer in a
short time. but now he has returned
to his normal ignorance and cannot
play at all. I shall call to the stand
an eminent specialist who will ex-
plain to you that this sort of dual
existence Is not unknown in science,
although it is SO uncommon as to be
remarkable. Mrs. Hamilton shared
in the feelings of her husband. but
could not explain them. She re-
pressed them, therefore. as much as
possible; but when her li.tle boy was
