SMUDGING BY CONCERT.
Colorado Fruitgrowers Have Deyel-
oped a System.

Some information which may prove
valuable to the fruitgrowers of this
section in protecting their fruit from
the late frosts, was secured yester-
day from prominent citizen of the
Colorado fruit belt, who is visiting In
the city. He states that In the vicin-
ity of Grand Junction, Col, in the
heart of the fruitgrowing section,
much of the tender variety of fruit
was saved from the frosts last spring.
The fruitgrowers there organized
themselves for the protection of their
fruit and placed man on watch each
night of the cold weather. The watch
man kept tab on the temperature and
as soon as 1t approached close to the
freezing point the orchardists were
notified by certain signals and by
phone when they all turned out and
lighted smudges all through their
orchards, which caused a dense smoke
to settle over the trees and in this
manner little of the fruit there was
lost, while in all the orchards not so
protected the crops were practically
destroyed.
The effectiveness of this method,

Title to S20 acres Of valuable res
ervation land was decided in decis-
ion by Judge Charles E. Wolverton in
the federal court in Portland last
evening, when Mrs. Philoma Smith,
fuli-olood Indian woman, and F. A.
Smith, her white husband, were
awarded the land in question upon
which Mrs. Smith settled in 1887,
when it was selected as her allot-
ment.
Although Mrs. Smith settled upon
and occupied the land as allotments
for herself and children in 1887, yet
in 1898 the allotting commission de-
prived her of the land and allotted |,
to He-yuts-mil-i-kin, another Indian,
Mrs. Smith contested the matter in
the Indian department through her
attorney, Robert ]. Slater of this city
and in 1897 the decision of the de.
partment was against her.
Then she began a suit in the fedora
court in 1901 for possession of the
land, and yesterday, six years after
the suit was filed, she was finally
given a decision and is now owner OF
the land which was lawfully selected
by her as her allotment 20 years ago
Another similar case brought by
Guyette against McQuirk was dis
missed by Judge wolverton. Attor-
ney Slater appeared for the plaintiff
in both cases and Haley & Lowell
represented defendants.

he states, appears to be In the
promptness with which all the fruit
growers responded to the signals OF
warning and the hearty cooperation
in the work. II such a course would
be followed each season, he says,
there would be comparatively little
fruit lost from the effects of late
frosts.
The smudges can be prepared dur
ing the day and used as the occasion
demands.

STODDARD MILLS BURNED.
No Insurance on Valuable Baker City
Plant.


Plant.
Flames of an unknown origin
leaped up and over the lumber mill
of .Stoddard Bros, about half past
o'clock this morning, says the
Baker City Democrat, and in less
than an hour left nothing of the plant
but few flaring sticks. Famed
by a stiff breeze, the fire fairly ate
its way into the heart of the seasoned
mill structure and there was little for
the fire department to do, but to
prevent the spread of the conflagra-
ton to the adjoining piles of lumber
and other structures. This they were
finally able to do but their efforts
would have been fruitless had not the
somewhat isolated location of the
mill favored them.
But one man, w. H. sMullikin, the
regularly employed night watchman,
was on the immediate scene at the
time the blaze started and he can
offer no other explanation of the fire
than that it was the act of an in
cendiary. At eight o'clock Saturday
evening Mr.. Mullkin said he had
satisfied himself that there was not
spark in the fire boxes and he had
also taken the extra precaution to
blow the water out of the boilers.
"The first intimation I had of the
presence of any fire." said the watch
man, twas about half past one, when
I saw the whole southeast corner of
the building, the farthest removed
portion from the engine room, sud-
denly shoot up in flames. 1t took
but few minutes for the blaze to
spread and soon the building was a
roaring furnace.
II can offer no explanation of the
fire than that 1t was started by
somebody. I know that the fires had

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.
Experiments Which May Result In
Furnishing Cheap Fuel of the Future.

Experiments Which May Result In
Furnishing Cheap Fuel of the Future.
The problem of the production Of
sufficient raw material to make the
manufacture of cheap alcohol possible
will be solved by the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Wiscon-
sin Agricultural college if the expert
ments in growing potatoes recently be-
gun prove successful, says the Milwau-
kee Sentinel. The department has re-
ceived three barrels of new varieties Of
potatoes from Germany. which are said
to yield from 300 to 500 bushels an
acre. %
They are too coarse for culinary pur-
poses, but as they can be made to pro-
duce quantities of starch and alcohol
they possess large commercial possi-
bilities. When it is proved that they
can be successfully grown in Wiscon-
sin and that the yield is equal to that
accredited to the new varieties then
the great difficulty in the way of the
production of cheap alcohol for fuel
purposes will be gone. Hitherto the
greatest problem in the manufacture
of alcohol has been that of obtaining
sufficient quantities of raw material at
prices low enough to make the manu-
factu:c worth while.
AS Wisconsin is one of the leading
potato producing states of the Union,
there appears to be no reason why the
new varieties should not do well there
and produce as large crops as in Ger
many, where they are used for alcohol
manufacture.
