Alfalfa in the Panhandle.

In harvesting alfalfa in this
country the same rules apply as
in other countries, with a few
exceptions. The crop generally
natures within about six weeks,
that, of course, depends upon
the weather, and it is generally
conceded that it should be cut
when well in bloom, and that is
when the leaves at the base of
the stem begin to turn yellow.
The mower, if started in the
, morning, should be followed by
the rake in the afternoon, and
the stacker should be running
with full force before the follow
ing morning.
Here in the Panhandle there
should be no fears of putting the
hay into the stack too green.
The stacks should be made not
over twenty feet wide and as
high as possible for the stacker
to place the hay and as long as
there is hay and ground upon
which to stack it.
What is most needed in the
Panhandle is to raise more al
falfa, Kaffir corn and hogs. Buy
your cattle from the Southern
breeding grounds, when cheaper
land reduce the cost of produc-
ton; ship them home, then fat
ten your hogs and cattle right
here at home and when you have
done this you will find the great
packers of the United States do
ing business right here in your
own territory.

Editor Tribuue:-Thc recent discus
sion concerning the Omitted Order Of
Enoch" calls n story to my mind. Liko
Mr.. Z. Y. IT,, who told us OF the trou-
bles of his uncle, l. too, must rely upon
hearsay for the most part in telling
about the trouble my uncle had with
tho "Blessed Order - The Dcseret
News must not blame us for extracting
the details of the history of the order
from hearsay, because the true history
of this "glorjous ORDER is not written
anywhere and never VIII be. Those
who actually played their parts in the
"blesscd order" like Mr.. II. r, n. s
uncle, are somewhat shcepish over the
affair and generally slip away "whcn-
ever the conversation drifts around 10
the Order of Euoch. All that we
younger Mormons know about
" Enoch we have acquired from our
parents around the fireside. So please
excuse hearsay,
AS / understand the nature and aim
Of the United Order of Enoch, the
facts and scheme were about as fol
lows:
Gen. P. T., Counor had established
hls army at Fort Douglas. The author
ity of the government of the United
States had planted and asserted itself
in Salt Lake City. The rule of the
" Destroying Angel" was at an end,
So, too, an influx of Gentiles had set
in, and there were some mutterings
and murmurings in the land against
the absolute despotism of Brigham
Young.
Brigham Young devised the "United
Order of Enoch' as an instrument to
bind its members ia his authority IN
body, soul and goods. The "Blessed
Order" was supposed TO be composed
of the "chosen seed" of the "sauc
tilted. " Every member joining the or
der was required first of all TO convey
to Brigham Young, trustee. all his
earthly possessions 10 ihe end that the
candidate might stand before the world
''nakcd, helpless and alone and be
truly "humble in the sight of the
Lord The ceremony of initiation
into the "Glorious Order consisted of
Il series of mummcrics in which the
candidate was given a garment and
a name to which he was TO respond

Young that tho translation was I'M

moment; that an angel might open the

time. And. strange as H. may seem, at
various times and places members of
the ''BlcGod Order did actually as.

waited trembling and praying, for the

At the time the ''Blesscd Order
was on the boom my uncle had had a
goodly holding Of farm land in Salt
Lake county. and some horses and
oxen. BY hard work and thrift, cou-
pied with some shrcwdness in making
bargains, he was becoming we'll to do
as compared with the condit ion Of those
around him Frequent counsels reached
him, urging him to ''put the world
behind him. and Join the "Blcssed
Order of Enoch," but my worldly.
minded uncle yielded not. To the
crafty Brigham, to ''plain spoken -
Heber and to the ignorant bishop he
answered, each in the proper manner,
TO the effect that he did not yet feel suf-
ficiently purged Of sin and earth TO de-
serve translation. and that the mat.
ter should bc postponed to another day,
For this it was quietly whispered
among tho ncighbors that my uncle had
''lost the spirit and was on the high
way to apostasy. His fortunes began
to turn. Horses were stolen. His oxen
were hamstrunG. His crops were de
spoiled All the instrumentalitics of
persecution that Brigham could control
were turned against my poor uncle. To
escape torment he took a job with an
OK train carryig freight bound for Mon

that it became necessary for him to
leave power Of attorney in Utah dur

More Railroad Crossings Needed

Some of the merchants are complain
ing about the lack of railroad eros
sings in the eastern part of town. The
only, crossing on the Southern Pacific
east of the freight house is at the mill
and that is often blocked by long
freight train. This compels the drivers
to come back to the freight house or
even to the passenger depot to cross
the track and results in loss of time and
great Inconvenience. Freight and
passenger trains often block all the
crossings now in use and people are
shut off from crossing the track for
hours at time.
The commissioners should take up
this matter and, If they have the power.
they should force the Southern Pacific
to put in the necessary crossings to
accommodate all the people of the
town.
Railroad crossings are public
necessity and no railroad company
should be permitted to.block the streets
of Elko to the detriment of her citizens.
If the law gives the commissioners
the power to force the railroad company
to put In necessary crossings, they
should enforce the law. If they havn't
the ,pS~er now, the next Legislature
should place that. power in their hands.
