BY HIS TOUR OF UTAH
Stancliff Hale Considers Conditions
in This State Ideal for
Fruit Raising.

Stancliff Hale, son of ]. II. Hale, the
largest grower of peaches in America,
has been making tour of Utah fruit
districts with Professor r. :. Northrup
of the state agricultural college at Lo-
gan.
Mr.. Hale came all the way from Con-
nect1cut to see the early liberia peach
grown by J. II. Gleason of Kaysville. At
the Gleason orchard he met Professor

River valley and Davis county. They
reached Salt Lake yesterday and will
today start for Provo to see the orchards
of Utah county.
God has been good to Utah." said
Mr.. Hale. The soil and climate here
are ideal for fruit growing. If / We're
not tied down by my interests in the
east | would like nothing better than to
try my hand at fruit growing here.
Utah apples beat anything ! ever saw
in all my travels through the United
States. The trees are large and free
from the diseases which orchardists in
other states must constantly fight with"
I'VE have only the codling moth here"
remarked j. Edward Taylor, secretary
of the state board of agriculture. But
as we know how to handle the moth il
is harmless. You might say that it has
been domestiCated.'
at is "A good thing that you under
stand the moth rejoined Mr.. Hale. 1t
has fearful appetite. 1t will eat more
than the home folks
When | came TO Ctah. said Mr. Hale
Il thought that | would stay about fiji
teen minrres. But they get me interest
ed. and | have now been here five days
and | am not yet through. a man can't
say too much about Utah's advantages
for the fruit grower The climate is per
feet The soil is deep and fertile 1t
contains elements suited to the nourish-
ing OF orchards with growers in the
east must supply.
Then you have the water and are able
10 control il. That is big thing
Utah orchard owners should devote
their attention to high grade products
Low grade fruit cannot be profitably
grown here. But with your soil your
climate and your water there is no ex-
cuse for growing low grade fruit"

CAREER PROBABLY ENDED
BRIGHT AND SHINING EXAMPLE
OF THE "sQUARE DEAL"

Washington, Sept. 21.-Colonel w. F.
Stewart of the Coast artillery, whose
case, because of his detail to the un-
garrisoned post at Fort Grant. Ariz.,
has. been before the public for some
time, has been ordered to appear be-
fore a retiring board at Washington,
d. c.. where he will be examined as to
his alleged disability, its nature ana
whether it was incurred in the line of
duty. This action by Secretary Wright
today is the outcome of the physical
examination of Colonel Stewart by
board of officers at Fort Huachuca,
,AriZ., when he appeared recently at
that post for the purpose of taking the
test ride of ninety miles directed by
President Roosevelt. That board re-
ported that the colonel was practically
blind in one eye. and that. because OF
this and the additional fact that he had
heart trouble, he was disabled for mil
itary service. Privilege to take the ride
was denied Colonel Stewart. the exam
lining board in its report declaring that
to do so would endanger his life. BriSa-
der General Hall is president of the
examining and retiring board at WASH
ington which will take up the case Its
functions will be to ascertain for
mally the facts and make report on
them TO the secretary of war for his
use and the president. Colonel Stewart
should reach Washington in week.
In Exile Year.
Colonel Stewards exile to Fort Grant
dates back a year. Before being sent
there however he was given an oppor-
tunity while at Fort Barrancas, Fla, to
retire, but to this offer Colonel Stew
art replied:
IF appointed brigadier general will
retire, if not will remain on duty"
The departments intentions regard
ing Stewart AT the time were to send
him to Fort Grant without command
until he reached the minimum age of
sixty-two permitting of his compulsory
retirement by the president unless i'll
the meantime he should voluntarily re-
tire, after forty years service.
When information was sought at the
war department as to the basis for such
action, the only comment forthcoming
was that Colonel Stewart was temper
amentally impossible" Colonel Stew
art. it had been asserted. was unfit for
commanding body of men, and he did
not get along well with subordinates.
Last 4 Dril the friends of Colonel
Stewart obtained an order directing
him to take ~ his residence at the
abandoned st. Francis barracks. st.
Augustine, Fla, for the three years
or more he was expected to serve on
the active list. but two weeks later the
order to this effect was countermanded
by the president.
Last spring the case of Colonel Stew
art was discussed with much warmth
in the senate. On two occasions Sem
ator Rayner of Maryland criticised the
president for what he termed his petty
attitude" toward Colonel Stewart.
