DEMOCRATIC vs.. G. 0. ?. WAY.

Under republican administration the Elec.
trio Light committee was composed Of two
democrats and two republicans and not every
democratic applicant for position was turned
down. Yet throughout republican adm,nstra.
tion the democratic organ howled vociferously
at the manifestation Of politics in the manage.
ment Of the light plant. In the revision OF the
ordinances last fall an ordinance was passed
making 1t obligatory that the Electric Light
committee consist OF four members, two from
each party. This ordinance was suggested by
the democrats and all democrats In the council
supported It. That ordinance has not yet gone
into effect, but its existence Is known and the
precedent established by the former council
was before the present democratic council. Yet,
what was the first thing done BY this non. par.

three democrats and ONE republican on the
Electric Light committee! Has the democratic
organ howled about this exhibition OF partisan.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FRUIT GROWERS.

President Dunn, OF the State horticultural
society, in his annual report touches upon two
points Of particular interest to those thinking
Of interesting themselves In the culture Of fruit.
he says that Utah climatic conditions are such
that orchards here are less liable to damage
than elsewhere; and he expresses strong be.
lief that overproduction Is not probable.
As basis for the first statement Mr. DUFF.
in points out that In 1907, for instance, when
the fruit crop In various states east and west
was badly damaged by frosts, Utah suffered
but slightly and that only In The peach belt
Very heavy freezes on April 10 and 20 were
weathered successfully and Utah's fruit crop
for the year was unusually heavy.
As for overproduction, Mr.. Duflin sees
safety In foreign narketS now opening to our
fruit, In our own increasing population. the
productiveness OF old orchards, and the
greater consumption Of fruit as an article of
diet. He does not believe 1t probable that the
supply will ever exceed the demand sufficiently
to disturb prices materially.
1t would appear, then. that fruit culture
as great paying proposition offers satisfactory
prospects for the future, and II further appears
that Investment 10 Utah Is the safest, because
OF natural advantages Those who have al.
ready put money into orchards In Cache Valley
should find In Mr.. Dunin's report considerable
encouragement, and others thinking Of inter.
esting themselves ought to fnd good deal Of
assurance in his representations Mr. Dunn
makes no mention Of Cache Valley, IN particu.
lar, but In report In one Of the Salt Lake
papers recently some otioial or inspector, whose
name we not recall, stated that 10 1907 the
fruit trees Of Cache suffered less from frost
than those Of any other county In the state.

Utah Apples Of Fine Quality,

fremont Times: 20. N. HolzlnRer, fruit
buyer for Stacy d Sons, Of Minneapolis, says
the fruit here, where the orchards are properly
cared for, Is fully equal. both In quality and
yield per tree. to the best orchards Of Colorado,
and apples Of that state now command the
highest prices 10 the eastern markets TIE
freight rates from Utah, after this season, will
be the same as from western Colorado Owing
to climatic conditions the Utah orchards are
less liable to damage from frost than Colorado
orchards. In the apple districts Of Colorado
land readily sells at more than double the pres.
ent price Of land In the Bear River Valley
The best bearing orchards in Colorado have
sold as high as 5000 an acre, and they pay
good interest on this price. Owners OF Utah
orchards do not as rule take as good care Of
them as do the fruit growers Of Colorado, but
u they will do so, and will grow apples In sum.
cient quantities to ship train.load lots. the
profits here will DO equal or greater than In
Colorado, for the reason stated Messrs Stacy
Holzinger and other fruit experts, by purchas.
