RESIDENTS MUCH ALARMED
Succession Of Earthquake Shocks at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Sept. 2O.-An earth
quake shock that brought residents of
this city into the streets in alarm and
caused a general shakeup in the ar.
engagements of many households was
experienced here during the evening.
The direction Of the shock was from
southeast to northwest and was pre-.
coded by a rumbling noise. There
seemed to be a succession of shocks,
terminating with a snap that caused
fear and trembling among those here
who suffered in the San.Francisco dis.
aster. In the mountains the shock
was most severe, causing great trees
to sway as If whipped by a mighty
tempest. No serious damage was re-
ported In the valley. @'s@sj

BATTLEFIELD is CHICAGO.
Big City Picked for Next Operators
Strike.

Chicago. July 9.-The indications tonight
are that the controversy between the COM
meTCial telegraph companies and their tel
egTaph operators will be fought out in
Chicago. With the announcement tonight
from the Pacific coast that Superintendent
Miller had refused 10 meet a committee
from the union and that President Small
will leave for Chicago tomorrow, came
message from Mr.. Small to the president
of the local union to call a meeting for
Sunday to consider the strike proposition.
The message also stated that President
Small would be present at the meeting
and would address the members of the
union.
President Small also informed the local
officials that he had requested Grand
Chief Parham of the Order of Railroad
Photographers to be present at the meet
ing The request for the official of the
railway union is taken to mean that he
will be asked for the moral support of his
organization should a strike be author
lied.
While no official announcement was
made tonight it was the general under
standing here tonight that the members
of the executive committee of the Com
mercial photographers union, who left for
San Francisco with Commissioner NELL
last night, would be ordered TO return to
Chicago.

center. committee of Western Union
operators today called upon /. n. MIL
Ter, Jr-, assistant general superintendent
OF the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, for the purpose of discussing griev-
ances. The committee was met by Chief
Operator II. J. Jeffs, who read note
conveying what Mr.. Miller had TO say to

Mr.. Miller declines to meet a com
mittee as such, but is willing to extend a
courteous hearing to each operator now
out on strike and Will consider faVOrably
the reinstatement Of any and all who come
TO him giving assurance of their per
sOnal desire to be reinstated in their pO-
sitiOns the same as those were before the
strike was called But he reserves the
right 10 refuse to receive or reinState
any one to their positions who are unde
srable. and that matter must be absO-
lutely left to his judgment as assistant
general superintendent"
After the result of the meeting was
made known to President S. ]. Small of
the Commercial Photographers union, he
sent a telegram to President Roosevelt
claiming that every honorable means mao
been exhausted TO secure an adjustment
and that he had no hope of a settlement
without extensive strike and that in
answer to the demands of the telegraphers
throughout the country that the strike be
made general, he would leave for Chicago
tomorrow.
1t was announced yesterday that United
States Labor Commissioner Nein would
leave Chicago for this city TO investigate
the local trouble.
President Small telegraphed National
Secretary Russell of Chicago to wire
Commissioner Neil that if he desired to
see him he would be in Chicago next
Sunday. President Small also sent tel

ASSESSMENTS OF PUBLIC SERVICE
CORPORATIONS In STATE AND COUNTY
Company.

The state board of equalization yester-
day transmitted to Frank HeginbOtham
county auditor, a statement of the assess
ments levied by it against the various
public service corporations in the state
The above table shows the total assess
ment for 1907. and the portion in Salt
Lake county, together with a comparison
of the COunty's portion in 1906 for the lead
ing concerns of this character doing bust
ness in the county and state.
By virtue of a law passed by the last
legislature the state board now assesses
independently all such corporations doing
an inter-cOunty business and transmits to
the various county auditors through
whose counties the companies operate the
amount of the entire assessment appor-
toned to them.
This amount is arrived at by computing
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-07-10

the proportion of the mileage and bust
ness done as the case may be in the
whole state to the amount within the
county.
The board has made a general increase
all along the line, although this varies in
some instances to a cOnsidera BILE extent.
The largest increase affecting Salt
Lake county was in the case of the Rio
Grande railroad which had its assess
ment here boosted 1925 600.
The Utah Light & Railway company
assessment was made by the state board
for the first time, the county board hav-.
ing heretofore fixed the assessment of
that concern. The increase in the county
was about 100000.
The county auditor is now at work ap-
pOrtioning the cOunty's share among the
various school districts.

COMBS OF FOWLS.
They Arc Good Index to the Health
of the Bird.

The comb of the fowl may count
for much or 1t may count for little.
In cold country 1t is of more con.
sequence than it is in a warm coun-
try, because If too much exposed It
freezes. For this reason fowls hav-
ing large thin combs are not SO we'll
suited to the cold north as are those
fowls that have thick, compact combs,
which we generally designate as rose
combs" Some fowls, like the Polish,
have head gears that seem to fit them
for life in cold climate. The man
that in the west cannot give his fowls
much protection from the weather
will do well to choose those that have
naturally protected combs.
The combs of the fowls are recep-
tacles for blood, and this does not
seem to be in motion. Consequently 1t
freezes easily, and 1t is the common
impression among poultry raisers that
a fowl that has had her comb frozen
is of no value for egg laying opera
tions. When fowls get ready to lay
their condition is always shown by
their combs. When a bird is being
bled to death by mites the comb
shows the loss of blood by becoming
pale. The comb Is therefore quite a
good index of the health of the fowl.

BEES AND GRAPES.
A Mistaken Idea That the Little Insect
Punctures the Fruit.

An Illinois reader wants to know il
there is any way to prevent the bees
from sucking the juice out of grapes.
1t Is commonly supposed that the
bees break the skin of the fruit and
then remove the juices of the pulp.
This is a mistake. If there is no rup-
ture of the skin of the grape, the bees
will not bother the fruit. Since they
attack only those berries which are
broken and which will, doubtless
spoik they do no material harm to the
fruit.
If the vineyard is a small one, one
Of the best remedies is to go through
1t and examine the punches and re-
move all fruit on which the skin is
broken. This fruit can be used in
making buffers, jellies and wines and
at the same time the temptation is
removed from the bees.
In some small vineyards the grow.
ers resort to what is called "bagging."
This is done about the time the ber.
ries are the size of small peas. Two
pound paper bags are used, slipping
the bunch into the bag, which is slit
for an inch on opposite sides of the
sack, near the top. Draw the top of
the bag up to the lateral to which the
bunch is attached 80 that it passes
through the two slits made in the bag.
Then bend the paper over on either
side so no opening is left, and wrap
a little fine wire around the lateral
at either side of the sack Leave this
till the fruit ripens. This not only
prevents bees and ants from getting
to the fruit, but also protects it from
birds.
Just what causes the fruit to crack
open, is not quite plain to our station
experimenters. The writer has no
ticed, however, that fruit grown on
rich soils has a greater tendency to
break open than that grown on poor
Soils If the soil is very dark colored,
the probabilities are that it contains
a great deal of nitrogen, which may
cause the fruit to crack in the way
mentioned. Manures should not be
applied to the vineyard, especially
fresh manure, says Journal of Agri-
culture. If the soil is naturally rich,
1t should receive a liberal application
of hard wood ashes to which has been
added little ground bone or pulver-
ized rock phosphate. These materials
should be worked into the surface
layer of the soil few feet surround
ing the vine.

POULTRY POINTS.

Oats are manifestly an egg-produc-

1t does not pay to keep any except
strong, vigorous chicks Any that ap-
pear weak after receiving proper care
and food should be disposed of.
If the fowls are confined in yards
where the ground is bare of grass,

quently, either with spade or hand

plow. harrow or horse cultivator if
the yard is large.
Milk, whole or skim, sweet or sour,

ration. Milk, however, will not take
the place of water as drink and the
latter must be furnished also.
