from the assaults OF Jack Frost
Mr. Reed had studied smudge pot op.
erations in California, where they are
used almost annually In one district or
another TO save the orange crops. and
he came to the conclusion that what
would benefit California would also
benefit Colorado. He began spreading
| the doctrine of smudge potting and
then started 1,000-acre ranch at Lo-
ma Just to show the orchardists of the
| Western slope that he was willing 20
back his convictions.
I'VE should never have fruit crop
failure In Colorado" Mr.. Reed told the
western slope orchardists, IF We use a
| little common sense anil plenty of
smudge pots" II took some time to
drive this logic home, but 1t has finally
taken root, and now 95 per cent Of the
apple. peach and apricot growers are

vice. The per cent who failed to

and the battle. which was a hard and
trying one, has been won. Less than
$4,000 worth of fuel in various forms
was used last night to save fruit crop
estimated to be worth anywhere from
S3,000.000 to s5,0O0000,
Jack Frost never had look-in in the
Pallsade district last night, because he
had two foes to flght-the smudse pot
and the canon" wind from the east.
The temperature In this district did
not fall below 80 degrees, but there is
no telling to what point 1t might have
reached had not the pots been lighted
At Q o'clock last night In this district
the temperature fell to 30 degrees. The
warning was telephoned to every fruit
ranch, and In less than an hour 25 900
smudge pots, distributed over the 5000
acres here, were lighted and burning

assisted the glowing pots to send the
mercury up to 34 The breeze con-
tinued for an hour and fifteen minutes
when the temperature Immediately
dropped back to 30. where 1t was held
until the sun came up this morning by
the smudge pots.
According to competent authorities
at Palisade, who made a canvass of
that district this morning, there will
be no loss in the smudge-potted or
chards. and 1t will be necessary for the
growers to thin out their blossoms
once or twice, so heavily arc the trees
laden, The loss to the growers who
failed to use pots will be anywhere
from % to so per cent. but this amount
will in no wise effect the aggregate
yield Of the crop.

DECISION ON
ALASKA A
LAW
Handed Down by Solicitor
Earle, for Commerce and
Labor Bureau

Washington, May 2-There can be
no monopoly in the word "sockeye" i'll
denoting the species of any of the
great salmon packing interests Of the
Pacific coast or Alaska nor Is packer
required TO state on the label of his
cans the locality In which the salmon
is taken. according to decision by So
licitor Earle for the department OF
commerce and labor. in an informal
opinion TO the United States fish COM
mission The latter inquired whether
the Alaska law enacted by congress on
June G. 1906, requires that the label
used by the packers shall state the
locality in which the salmon was
taken
1t was pointed out by the commits
sion's communication that the same
species of fish which is packed by the
Alaskan salmon canneries and labeled
as the "sockeye" Is also caught in Pu-
get Sound and the waters OF British
Columbia, and canned under label
identical with that used by the Alaska
fisheries, that Is, "sockeye." But 1t
was stated that while the fish caught
in those two localities are OF the same
species, there is marked difference In
their quality as foodstuff, the differ
ence In the market price being so per
cent in favor Of the Puget Sound and
the waters of British Columbia The
commission took the position. there
fore, that in view of the alleged in
feriority OF the Alaskan pack and the
failure of the Alaskan packers to indi-
cate the locality of their product on
the labels used by them constitutes 4
Misrepresentation under the act of
congress. The solicitor does not con-
cur in this view.
"The Puget Sound packers have no
more exclusive right to use the term
'sockeye' salmon exclusively than the
Alaskan packers" declared the solicit
or. THE word 'sockeye' as derivatiye
Of species merely Is not subject to ex-
elusive use by the packers OF either To-
cality. If the Puget Sound packers
can superior article Of fish, they can
easily take advantage of that fact
In the trade by labelling their product
accordingly"
He held that the act does not re-
Quire that Alaskan packers shall indi-
cate the locality Of their product upon
their labels
Some idea of the Importance OF the
"sockeye" salmon industry may be
CLEANED from the fact that the total
catch Of this fish in Alaska in 1908 was
24.942.T2G representing i commercial
value of $7,31S.04S.

NEW CEMENT PLANT WITH

The cement plant to be built near

city. There is TO be an outlay Of
100000 and manufacturing concern,
employing 100 or more men, with
regular pay roll, is to be added TO the
industries of this part OF the state.
The mari deposits from which the
cement is to be produced is said to

In the process Of manufacture, there
Will be no heavy grinding. as at the
cement works at Croydon, but the lime
deposits and clay will be puddled.
With this exception the works near
Brigham and those In Weber canyon
Will have much the same machinery.
The promoters of the Brigham City
concern claim great possibilities for
their plant, as the results of careful
tests made by eastern experts, who
have been instrumental through their
favorable reports, in raising the re-
Quired capital.
The plant Is TO be erected In units,
with the first unit of comparatively
small production, but the completed
factory is to be of large size, capable
oil turning out daily 1900 or more bar
rels of the finished product.
There is some speculation as to the
extent Of the competition which will
exist between the new manufacturers
OF cement and those now in the field
The Croydon output has held this part
OF the intermountain market without
invasion, and of late has been finding
purchasers in San Francisco and else
where on the Pacific Coast because of
the superior quality of the cement,
With an equally good article from
Brigham City, will there be a break
down In prices or will there be room
for both? These questions are vet to
be answered, but with the growth OF

are both plants will find an ample de.

A FELLOW, TO BE MARRIED,
ASKS OUR ADVICE.

A stranger came to this office with
a grievance. He is workingman
with pent-up love for a woman who
has encouraged his attentions. a
week ago he presented the object Of
his affection with gold watch and
chain. After bestowing his love and
money on the receptive candidate for
his wealth, he is. informed that his
adored one Is tickle hearted and is
about to marry a Japanese cook in
the Sunshine restaurant
He asks advice and he seeks public
sympathy. We questioned him, and
he supplied the information that he
had recovered his watch and chain,
and then we advised him to go his
way rejoicing. He has been saved

DO WAR BALLOONS PAY2

Colonel Emerson says the most i'm

in war time occurred during the seige
OF Paris In the Franco-German war.
Then sixty-five balloons were con
structed, and out OF the sixty five aero
nauts only about five had been up be
fore. Some OF the ascents took place
at night, and only two aeronauts
were lost and five made prisoners by
the Germans.
The sixty-Hve balloons carried 164
passengers, some $4,000 pounds of pos
tai material, representing about g.

were also taken up. and did good ser
vice by carrying nearly 100000 mes
sages and kilograms. The receipts
from the letters and kilograms were
nearly 100000, and the expenditure
for the manufacturing and charging
of sixty-five new balloons and the pay
of the aeronauts amounted to about
S5S,500, showing a margin Of S141,50O
profit.
More important still was the escape

EFFECTIVENESS OF DEsPoTlsM.

who has spent Go years In enforced

nothing in particular except keeping

the Sultan is no longer an absolute
monarch He has a parliament, and
