OFFICER SAYS
ELECTRIZE

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-The
of eminent engineers and trans
portation officials has been engaged
for some time in preparing the plans
for the use OF electricity i'll place OF
steam as the motive power on the
mountain division OF the Southern
Pacific is the announcement that
was made last night by Julius kruts-
chnitt, the director OF maintenance ;
and operation of the Southern Pa
cific lines.
Although the man who is next to
Hartman insists that his trip to this
coast at this time is prompted by
routine matters in his department, he
admitted last night that plans for the
substitution of electricity for steam
on u part of the lines in this state
had been practically determined on.
I'VE have had a commission
working on the problem for some
time" Krutschnitt said. Since this
commission first began its work
there have been many Improvements
in motor devices. so that if we were
to order our equipment now it would
be of superior efficiency to what
could have been secured when the
commission took up the study.
The membership of the commits
sion is made up from representatives
of the different departments Of the
road and consulting engineers.
The plans for the use Of electric
ity are being carried out independ-
emily of the plans for the tunnel.
That will be to reduce the grades;
the use OF electricity as a motive
power will increase the capacity OF
the line. Tae snowsheds have not
presented any particular difficulties
in the substitution of electricity for
steam, and the improvements that
have been made in the types of mo-
tors since the commission began its
work has been encouraging.
Just how much of the work in the
state will be equipped for the use oi
electric power Krutschnitt refused 10
state, saying that further improve
ments and new inventions might
change tae plans before they wee
put into effect.

FIND NEW BUG
IN ALFALFA

The following extract from bulle-
tin rom the Utah State agricultural
department is Of value to the ranch
vrs OF this section.
1t is not yet determined that the
pest described here has appeared in
this vicinity, but a rigid search for
him will do no harm and probably re-
suit in saving a large amount of pas
ture and hay land:
The alfalfa leaf weevil, an intro
duced European insect, is now caus-
ing great damage to incerne in Salt
Lake county. The insect spreads
but causes most injury when in the
younger stages by feeding on the
leaves, buds and flowers.
Eggs are laid on Alfalfa in April
and May, the larvae or worms becom
ing full grown in the latter part OF
June and throughout July. spinning a
lace like cocoon, from whic:; later is
sues the small, brown hard sAelled
weevil This weevil hibernates
through the winter in any sheltered
place, ditch banks, tacks, alfalfa
plants, weeds, etc.
The first crop should be cut as ear
ly as possible. The ground disked
and cross disked as soon as the hay
is off and then gone over With a lev
oler in the same way. These opera
tiOns will kill a large percentage of
the young worms. Then force the
second crop as rapidly as ICssible and
repeat the disking and levelinS.
Clean up all ditch banks, fence
rows, old stock grounds and rubbish
early in the fall by burning.
Ship no hay out of infected region.

SILVER TO
BE TALK

| At the coming session OF the Am
erican Mining Congress to be leld at
| Goldfield, New, in September, noted
| men in the nations industrial and po-
liticai life will engage in a discuss
| ion of the relation OF the value of sill
yer to the adjustment of trade rela-
tions with silver using countries, and
of giving to silver as money such ex-
tended use and stability Ct price as
will greatly reduce, if not entirely ell
Oriental silver must NOW pay for
our gold.
These phases of the silver question
have no relation to the Free Silver"
doctrines so prominent in national
politics in the nineties. At that time
American bankers and business men,
SO thoroughly averse to the use OF
SILVER in measuring values, sought to
relegate all discussion of the silver
question, but in the light of more
recent years, when our trade is in
such dire peril of being swept from
the Orient, where manufacturing in
dustries are being transported bodily
to Asiatic countries where cheap
silver purchases cheap labor, there
adjustment of trade relations as will
enable the merchants supplying more
than aalf the human race to buy
American products on a gold basis
From time immemOrial the money
Of twOthirds OF the worlds people
was silver Formerly these peoples
were not considered as important
factors in the business Of manufac-
turing countries, but now the mer-
chant, but now the merchant sees in
them his most fertile field for trade.
Yet these markets are closing be-
cause of the low t1uctuatns priace OF
silver with its consequent prohibi-
tive rate of exchange with gold.
The American Mining Congress is
launching this movement with the
feeling that Am rica should be on the
alert in the fight for commercial sup
premacy which is now centering ar
Ound the Pacific, and it is intended
that the discussion of this question
at its meeting will develop me-
mortal to be presented to the nation
al congress setting forth the neces-
sity of such adjustment as will re
move this embargo upon American
industries.
The United States is at the same
time one of the principal silver pro
ducing countries, and China and In
dia must largely import their bullion
from us. An extended use of silver.
which would be followed by an en-
HANGED price, would enable America
to assume a commanding position
with reference to the Oriental trade
No more important question could
be taken up for consideration by the
American Mining Congress, and the
discussion of the subject by such
men as Sir MoretOn Frewen the emf
nent English economist, John Hay
Hammond. James J. Hill and Others,
ought to result in its being brought
fOrcibly to the attention OF the Am
erican national congress.

any other, to find every alleged of

cause the limit fine of $40 was not as
sessed In each case My reputation
tor truth and honesty is as good as
that of any man who stood In a pulpit
and tried to prove II otherwise. Let
them prove what they have said"
Judge Young did not care to make
reply to the charges made against him
nor to the criticism heaped upon him.
He merely suggested that any cases
brought before him and by him over
ruled or reversed, might be carried to
a higher court and he would be will
ing to abide by the result In the
Kalkbrenner case the court reversed
the mayor because of error in the pro-
ceedings. There were six errors in
the proceedings and any one of the
six would have caused the case to be
reversed. The circuit court would
have done the same and so would the
supreme court. Thus far, the attor-
neys for the league have not carried
one case beyond the court of common
pleas, yet the league leaders blame
the court for reversing the case when,
the action being criminal, the accused
has just as much right to fair trial
as any murderer or other offender.
The Mirror representative endeav-
ored to get Judge Young to mako
some naswer but the jurist merely
smiled, being willing to let the case go
to the jury (the public) without a
word of defense and confident of the
result.
Prosecutor Charles L. Justice said
that he did not desire to be brought
into the newspaper in the
controversy. In answer to the declar-
alton that he refused TO file informa-
ton in the probate court he said that
violators of the Rose law are no
worse criminals than are men who vi
ol1te other statutes of the criminal
code. These men, murderers and
all, have their cases put before the
grand jury in the regular manner. IL
the mayors court is not satisfactory
then the Law and Order league should
proceed to present its cases to the
grand jury.
Judge Spencer. OF the probate court,
stated that Rev. G. A. Barnard, one
of the speakers, presented his case in
n very fair manner and expressed
Judge Spencer's reason for sustain
Ing the defendants motion. Rev. ID.
II. Bailey, by inslnuation, tried 10
make II appear that the court had
been unfair in that with the greatest
amount of doubt in favor of the de-
fendant that the court should rule
for the defendant instead of the Law
and Order league. Judge Spencer
said that he dismissed the case be-
cause there was in his mind a grave
doubt whether the proceedings had
been properly brought and that the
dismissal in no way hindered the pros
ecution of the defendant. Practically
all of the lawyers maintain that Judge
spencer's contention is absolutely
right.

Mayor, the minister stated that His
Honor had stated that he had talked
with the husband of the defendant
and that he believed him the same as
IL he had been on the witness stand
He asked what right the Mayor Of
the city had TO take evidence which
was outside of the court and which
was not presented in the case.
After the address of Mr.. Barnard
Rev. $. c. Bates talked at some length
and also referred TO this action on the
part of the Mayor. He said he had
served on a jury and that when the
case had been completed he was re-
quested by the judge to hold no con-
ference with anyone nor allow any one
to talk with him until his decision
had been made. In turn he asked why
the Mayor of the city could take ev-
idence outside of court when juror
may not do this. Regarding the re-
fusal of the prosecutor to file charges
on the demand of the league, Rev. Mr..
Bates stated that Mr.. Justice had said
that the case must come before the
grand jury, thus causing delay. He
said that the Judge in the court had
cases We're to be brought up and that
he heard cases after adjournment. The
only reason he said why he had ad-
journed court was because the case
was liquor case.
They have all said Just as plain as
though in words" said Rev. Mr.. Bates
that not another person will be con-
victed in their respective courts on
this charge. Here Is the issue: Shall
five or six men who own the brewery
and who furnish the counsel for the
defense, rule this city or snail the peo-
pie who voted the town dry rule it?"
At this juncture the speaker was
very loudly applauded. Rev. Bates
stated that the only good feature
about the trials was that in each case
1t was shown that there were not over
eight or nine places where liquor Is
regularly sold. while there were thrice
as many formerly.
Rev. c. +. Miller, of the Central
Christian church. talked very ably
and urged the people not TO forget
what had been said. He said there
were very few nations or peoples of
the world who would stand for the
lack of enforcement of law. Not be-
ing a citizen here as yet, Mr.. Miller
confined his remarks to general
view of the situation.
AT the close OF the meeting, Rev.
Mr.. Bailey as chairman made some
marks concerning the future meetings.

manner that could not be misinter-
preted, by Rev. ID. II. Bailey last
night, the clty's chief executive this
morning stated that Rev. Bailey had

mirror representative, today called on
Rev. Bailey to prove his charge before
his congregation, in his pulpit and be-
fore the public on the streets as one
who misrepresents. The mayor said
