FISHER HARRIS HOME.
BUT IS SICK IN BED

Fisher Harris returned late Friday
night from his trip TO Chicago, Nor
folk, New York and other eastern cities,
and has since been too i'll to speak
of his experiences. His illness is due
to severe cold which he contracted
while delivering an address at Norfolk.
1t is thought that he will recover after
a brief rest.
While in the East Mr. Harris was
instrumental in securing two convcn-
tions for Salt Lake City. One of these
is the annual convention of the Ma
tlonal Association of Credit Men, which
was held this year in Chicago, and the
other Is the convention of the Travel
ers Protective association. In New
York city Mr., Harris spent some time
studying modern methods of civic ad-

FRESH FROM CONTACT
w. T. McArdle Believes the New Camp
Has Possibilities.

w. It. McArdle of Contact, Elko
county, Nevada. arrived in Salt Lake
Saturday from the new mining camp to
discuss matters relative to the Ivy
Wilson company, of which he owns a
large interest. Mr.. McArdle is ex-
tremely well pleased with the outlook
at Contact and feels certain that 1T will
develop into one of the big Nevada
camps. Copper ore, he says, is already
q matter of fact and the development
work which his company has already
done indicates that there is nothing un-
certain about the steps which are being
taken to block out ore
Contact is about fifty-two miles from
Wellsville on the Southern Pacific, but
Mr.. McArdle says that when he left
Contact a few days ago surveying
parties were already on the ground do
ing the preliminary work for railroad
TO connect the camp with the smelters.
AS soon as connections are established
number of mines will ship the ore,
which they already have removed from
their mines.
The camp derives its name from the
contact between lime rock and granite,
the ore being found along this line CT
contact. This contact line is about
forty miles long and is in general in
The shape of horseshoe The proper
ties in which Mr.. McArdle is interested
have the pick of the ground along the
contact
The camp is only eight months old,
but there are now over 800 people who
are on the ground either prospecting
or developing land which they control.
Over half this number have come from
Ely, indicating i'll a general way that
the camp has possibilities in the eyes
of these people,
Mr.. McArdlc will leave for Contact

AN EXPERT FORESTER
TO TREAT THE TREES
University of Utah Will Enlist
the Services of A. Henry
Miller.

Arrangements have been made by
the University of Utah TO have mum
Der of the trees on the campus, that
are in rather bad condition, treated by
Mr.. A. Henry Miller, an expert for
ester ana landscape gardener Of Den.
yer. These trees have only been plant
ed few years, and for some reason or
other they have become dwarfed, and
this year the leaves on number of
them are already turning yellow.
Mr.. Miller thinks that by proper
treatment these trees can be changed
and again brought into good condition.
His method at first sight appears TO be
stopping the growth of the trees; that
is, he prevents the tree from growing
above the ground. but makes the roots
work for the tree food. The tree in
this way does not become overfed, but,
instead. good circulation of sap is
induced The method of doing this is
very simple. A large hole is dug IN
the ground about fifteen feet from the
tree and the water for the tree is
placed here rather than being placed
Immediately around the root. The roots
reach out for the water, and in so
doing become fully developed.
Salt Lakers will no doubt be sur
prised to hear that Mr.. Miller thinks
that many Of the trees on the streets
that are now covered with worms and
bugs, may, by this simple treatment, be
made to take on healthier appearance
and in time lose all those Objectionable
features. Mr.. Miller is highly pleased
with Salt Lake. He believes the con-
ditions here are almost ideal for the
growth Of trees according TO his the
ory. If satisfactory arrangements can
