CANVASS OF STATE SHOWS REPORTS
OF FRUIT DAMAGE ARE EXAGGERATED

Owing to the number of erroneous
reports that are being circulated con-
corning the damage to the fruit crop
by frost during the latter part of
April, Secretary j. Edward Taylor of
the state board of horticulture made
complete canvass of the state. and
finds that the damage is not nearly so
great as was first anticipated.
The peach crop. from the present in
dications, will be above the normal.
The principal peach districts, including
Brigham City. Weber county, Davis
countv Salt Lake county and Utah
county. are only very slightly dam
aged. The heaviest losses have oc-
CURED on the lower lands in all the
principal fruit growing counties.
The heaviest damage that has oc-
CURED seems to have been in the Bear
River valley. where the apple crop is
reported as badly damaged. This APP
plies particularly around Bear River
City, Garland and Tremonton, where
the apple crop will amount to probably
so per cent of the average. The apple
lands in and around Penrose, Box Ell
der county, were not damaged by the
frost

ing sections of Salt Lake and Utah
counties. However, this damage is
only 10 the first bloom, and the pros
poets are, taken as a whole, for a nor
NAL crop.
Weber and Davis counties have
prospects for bufper crop of every
kind of fruit. The fruit crop of Cache
county did not suffer to any serious
extent, the blooming period of that
county being a little later than other
counties. and escaped serious damage
from the -frosts, OF course, in the
higher valleys considerable damage
was done.
Reports from Sanpete, Sewer, Eme-
~. Carbon and Beaver show a heavy
loss to practically all fruit crops. But

SONOMA, Sept. 9.-The historic old
town of Sonoma, where the original
bear flag was unfurled in 1S46, was the
scene of a great demonstration today
when the new city hall, built after the
Mission style, was dedicated.
The parade was formed on the arri-
val of the special train from Santa
Rosa and marched and counter marched
until it reached the spot where, 62
years ago, the bear flag was raised.
Henry Beeson, one of the original
members of the party which raised the
flag, today. raised a duplicate of the
original, on the original pole.
The literary exercises were held on
the west side of the city hall. Former
Mayor James d. Phelan of San Fran
cisco was the orator of the day and
Arthur Linsburg was the grand mar
shall of the parade. A feature of the
parade was the presence of an auto
mobile in which rode Henry Beeson,
James McChristian and Edward Gill
liam, all of whom came to California
prior to 1850.
The various parlors of Native Sons
of Sonoma county, all in natty uni
forms, escorted the original carriage
of General Vallejo drawn by four white
horses, each animal led by man clad
in white. A large picture of General
Vallejo adorned the seat of the car
riage.
