PEST THREATENS SANPETE.
Farmers to Begin Systematic Cam
paign Against Field
Mice

Ephraim, Feb. 13.-Sanpete county is
threatened with a plague of field mice,
or moles, that promises, if not checked,
TO be more disastrous TO the farmers than
the grasshOpper pest.
In all parts of the county the fields are
overrun with these mice. They attack
the growing grain and luceTn in the sum-
mer, and now they are working on the
lucern roots and fruit trees. HOrdes of
them burrow IN the ditch banks. doing
great damage to the bitches, and seriously
interfering with the distribution of water.
Instances are known here where they
have destroyed fruit trees that were six
to eight inches in diameter.
The Commercial club of this city held a
meeting last night and organized the
farmers to fight the pest. The fields have
been distFicted. committees appointed for
eac district, and a systematic fight will
be made in all of the fields surrounding
this city.
The method to be adopted in destroying
the mice is to drop poisoned wheat in their
burrows and TunWays. The wheat viii
be soaked in a solution of strych9ine
This method has been tried here, in iSo-
lated cases. with great success.
Ole Hansen of Mr.. Pleasant is in town
trying to interest the farmers here in the
establishment of a creamery plant.
The entire family of ole Larsen were
poisoned Tuesday from eating canned
beans. No serious results followed. as
medical aid was called at once. Mrs. Lar
sen was very i'll at the time. but is re
covering nicely

WILL BRING CARPENTERS
Expected That Seven Hundred Dele
gates Will Attend Annual Con-
vention Here in September.

The committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the annual convention of the
international Brotherhood of Carpenters
the second week in September in this
city, elenting local No 1S4, reports
progress. The committee consists of w.
c. Wilson, +. A. Ellis and Harry Lewis.
Mr.. Wilson says the convention will be
in session about ten or twelve days and
that fully 100 delegates from all parts Of
the United States, Canada, Cuba and
Porto Rico will be in attendance. The
alegates will represent total member
ship of 100000 men.
1t is proposed TO give the visitors ex-
cursions to Bingham, Park City, Gar
field and one of the resorts. Social en-
tertainment of various kinds will also be
arranged. The convention period is to
conclude with grand banquet. at which
business men, and especially those inter-
ested in the building trades, will be the
guests.
Last year the convention was held at
Sarat oGa. Six hundred and sixty-eight del
egates were present at that time, and as

exceeded when the convention comes to
Salt Lake. The national secretary, Frank
Duffy of indianapolis, will be in the
city soon to arrange for a hall in which
to hold the convention. for hotel rates
and accommodations. w. II. Huber is the
national president.
Inasmuch as it behooves the local car
penters to prepare themselves Tor the
coming of the guests, financial resources
have been voted on the 800 members of
local No 49,. and it is expected that a
number of entertainments will be the
source, of revenue.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Something new in the way of musical
entertainment was given at the Salt Lake
theatre last evening, when G. d. Schet-
tier presented a class of between fifty
and sixty young men and women, mem
bers of the Salt Lake Mandolin and Gui-
tar club, in a Spanish festival concert. A
good sized audience, made up in good part
of the friends and relatives of the per-
formers, was attracted to the theatre
and gave expression of their approval by
frequent and generous applause.
The entertainment was given under the
management of Fred G. Graham. and bids
fair TO be regular annual musical fea-
ture in the future. incidentally It may
be said that Mr. Schettler demonstrated
ability as a concert conductor that was
especially gratifying to his many friends
in the community
Miss Edna Evans, Horace S. Ensign.
Miss Margery Mulvey. Miss Myrtle Cog
gle, Walter Smith and Willie Stafford
were the solOists of the evening. All ac-
quilted themselves with credit. Miss EV-

Song of the Nightingale" (Zeller). She
responded gracefully to an encore. Per-
haps the most pleasing number of the
evening was the solo by Horace S. En-

CADETS FINISH
THEIR STUDIES
One Hundred and Eight Men
Leave West Point to Begin
Career in Army.

West Point, n. Y, Feb. H-With
plain words of advice as to their flu
ture duties-the advantages and hard
ships of an army career-Secretary OF
War Taft today presented diplomas to
the los members of the graduating
class of the United States military
academy. The secretary impressed
upon the yOuEg men who were com
missioned as second lieutenants in the
various branches of the army that the
military service must ever be subor-
dinate to the civil government. and
that it was their serious duties Ito
keep their mouths shut and obey or
ders." In time of national danger he
declared, the soldier has his opportu-
nifty to achieve a great degree of fame,
but in the everyday life of army rou
tine there is much that seems tedious
and irksome. The affair was entirely
informal, and as the young graduates
in their uniforms of gray stepped to
the platform to receive their sheep
skin scrolls the secretary had a per-
sonal word and a hearty handshake
for each.
The young soldiers were called to re-
ceive their diplomas in the order of
class standing. The honor of heading
the list fell to Cadet Glen Edgerton
of Manhattan. Riley county, Kan. Mr..
Taft congratulated him heartily upon
his success. George r. Goethals, who
stood fourth in his class, is a son of
Colonel GOethals of the engineering
corps of the army, who now is in COM
mand of the construction of the Pana
ma canal Colonel Goethals was pres
ent when his son was handed the di
plOma.
I'VE may not have another Panama
canal for you to build" said the sec
rotary, but we will try to find some
thing else that is useful"

MAY BE MORE TROUBLE.
Members of Cigarmakers' Union Are
Awaiting Developments.

Members of the local union of cigar
makers say that there is a prospect or
further dfferences-or rather a renewal
of old differences-between the manufac-
turers and the cigar makers. They say
that twice since the first of the year, the
manufa cturers have asked for return
TO the old bill of prices which existed be-
fore the new scale went into effect fol-
lowing the strike of the early summer
when the cigarmakers were granted an
increase amounting, on standard brands,
from SIS to SIS per thousand. The asser-
ton of the cigaTmakers is that there IS
no disposition on the part of the union
men to accept a lower scale than that
which is now in effect.

BLAME PUT upon
MEN At THE TOP
Senate Committee Hearing on
the CulberSOn- Smith Car and
Transportation Service Bill.
ADDRESS OF JUDGE C0WAN
MEASURE MEETS THE VIEWS OF
SHIPPERS.

Washington. Feb 1.-THE senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day gave a hearing onSthe Culberson-
Smith car and transportation service
bill, under which railroads engaged in
interstate commerce would be required
TO promptly furnish cars to shippers.
Those who spoke la behalf of the bill
were Judge S. II. Cowan of Texas who
was one of President Roosevelts ad-
yisers i'm relation TO recent railroad
late legislation: Colonel l. T. Pryor,
president of the Cattle Raisers' asso-
citation of Texas; Murdo Mackenzie of
The Livestock association, c. w Mer
chant of Texas and A. E. De Rickles
of Colorado. Representative of grain
and hay interests also appeared.
Judge cowan's Argument.
Judge Cowan addressed himself
Chiefly to arguments that have been
made against such legislation on the
ground that the car shortage has been
due to the inability of manufacturers
of rolling stock TO keep pace with the
demands.
why is it that the railroads have
been giving such disastrous service to
the shippers as is admitted Dy their
own figures and probably by the COM
mon knowledge of everybody and the
individual experience of every shipper,
when, by their own sworn reports, they
are possessed of more facilities for per-
forming the service in the.way of cars,
locomotives and main line tracks i'm
proportion TO the traffic than they had
IN 1906, a period of generally satisfac-
tory service
Answers His Own Question.
said:
THE answer. which we believe has
not been clearly presented before, lies
in these indisputable figures that the
tonnage system, whereby they have at
tempted to make their locomotives and
train crews perform an extraordinary
amount of service, lies at the bottom
of the failure TO get out of their facili-
ties relatively what they got before.
1T does not, therefore. lie I'm the
mouths of the railroads to say that the
law shall not fix a penalty to compel
them to perform a reasonable service
for the alleged reasons that they have
not procured and cannot procure the
facilities TO do it, when incontrOvertible
facts prove the assertion untrue"
Financial Heads" Responsible.
Judge Cowan insisted that it was
the nnanClal headS OF the railroads
who have hurt the railroad corpora
tions against the people who furnish
the business and pay the freight" not
the luckless and innocent stakeholder
whom everybody is anxious to protect.
He charged that these financial
heads" had injured the corporations by
increasing the Indebtedness of the
roads and directly or indirectly pocket
ing the money.
Now. we want TO help a railroad as
a corporation. but we owe no allegiance
20 the railroad king, who acts toward
the public as if he were king indeed. "
1t was said by Judge Cowan that the
bill before the committee is the only
one that has been formulated to pre-
sent in concrete and exact forms just
what the shippers think ought to be
done He said that all Of the interests
represented at the hearing were in
favor of the bill

NOTARIES ARE WARNED.
Governor to Revoke Licenses Unless
More Care Is Exercised.

Carelessness on the part of notaries
public in subscribing to sworn state
ments has been called to the attention
of Governor Cutler and the latter is
issuing warnings to all those who hold
commissions that they must exercise
more caution or he will revoke their
licenses.
Several fragrant cases have been re-
ported to the governor recently, and
in one instance the notary had failed to
sign the document at all. The common
est fault is the failure to write the date
of the expiration of the commission as
required by law.
The matter is very important, as in
many legal papers the failure of no
taries to comply with the law might in
voIve a great loss to the persons inter-
ested in the proceedings.
