THE sMUDGE POT.

William N. Roylance, one of the best
informed men in the state, estimated
the loss to the states fruit crop by last
weeks frost at s1,75O,O 900. This loss.
Mr.. ROylance says, might all have
been avoided had the fruit growers
prepared themselves to combat the
cold with smudge pots. The season
has been backward, and it IS hoped
that the damage will not reach the
startling figures Of Mt. Roylance's es-
innate, though there is not the slight
est doubt that the loss will be very
great in many sections of the state.
Grand valley, Colorado, has practic-
ally the same climate and elevation as
the fruit regions Of Utah. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss in Grand valley
will not exceed a few thousand dollars
in all. This is the amount lost by
growers who had not provided them
selves with smudge pots and who were
powerless when the frost came. Ac-
cording to the Denver papers, the low
" smudge pot saved from SS,O00,000 to
$1,000, 900 worth Of fruit in Palisade,
Clifton, Grand Junction, Fruita and
Iona districts last week. Werner z.
Reed of Colorado Springs several
years ago began agitating the use Of
smudge pots. Mr.. Reed had studied
smudge pot operations in California,
where they are used to save the orange
crop each year. He concluded that the
same method would be efhcacious in
Colorado. and his amply demonstrated
the accuracy Of his reasoning. 1t is
estimated that about $4,000 was ex-
pended in fuel to operate the pots by
which a crop worth from s3,0o0,00O to
s.. 900, 600 was saved.
The lesson should not be difficult for
Utah fruit growers to learn. Before
they forget their losses by cold this
spring they should buy smudge pots
and be ready to fight cold with smudge
next spring.

TAFr's TRAVELLING EXPENSES.

The visit of President Taft TO the
Grand Army encampEeut in Salt
lake. the Alaska -Yukon-Pacific expo
sition at Seattle and To the northern
country itself is dependent upon an APP
preparation by congress. The salary
of the president has just been boosted
from $4,000 TO $4,000. but the mem
bers of both houses have also shared
in a $500 raise and are inclined to be
liberal with the executive. Regarding
the effort TO obtain the $4,000 for
travelling expenses desired by Mr.
Taft. the New York sun has thus to
say:
Mr.. Tafts salary as president is $50
600 year. and he has served notice
on numerous organizations in states
far distant from Washington that he
cannot afford to accept their invita-
tions because OF the expense Of travel
ing. Mr.. RooseveIts salary was $4,000
a year. and in the latter part Of his
administration he had $4,000 a year 10
pay his railroad fares.
1T is now proposed by Mr.. Tawney,
chairman Of the house committee on
appropriations, that an amendment
shall be made to the census bill pro-
winding a fund Of $4,000 TO pay the ex-
penses Of the president while on his
travels. As the people want to see the
president. such a provision would be
likely to receive general support.
Thus this popular appropriation
which is wanted by MI. Taft would
become a part Of the census bill. and
here an interesting situation would be
created. In its present form this meas
ure does not please Mr.. Taft. It con-
fers too much power on the director OF
the census, making that official prac-
tically independent Of the president. It
has been predicted freely that unless
The bill should be amended TO cUrtan
The directors powers Mr.. Taft would

NEW AUTO GAMES.

Shooting the corner" is the name
of A new game which has become
popular among the automobile drivers
and teamsters during the last few
months The best place to play this
new game is on the principal intersec-
tons of the main business streets Of
the city, where the street car and other
traffic is normally heavy. It is also
much more exciting when there are a
large number Of persons crossing the
street on foot, and the game Is best
played during the busiest hours Of the
day.
It has become the custom Of many
automobile drivers. hackmen and
transfers 10 disregard absolutely the
city ordinances. Instead Of keeping
TO the right side of the street when
making a turn on the crossings. the
drivers, more especially among the
Automobiles. have taken to cutting
the corner" thus saving themselves a
little time, out endangering the lives
of persons.
The new game now being played
has added another danger to the
already long list. one of the ia
vOrite features Of this new game is to
dodge behind street cars at a rapid
rate, instead of waiting until the car
has passed over the intersection At
times, on the corner Of Second South
and Main streets, several street cars
are making the turns at the same
time. When cars become so thick on
the corners. persons on foot are neces-
sariIy obliged TO wait until they pass.
Some automObilisJs do not wait, but
dodge in front of one car and behind
another. giving but little or no thought
TO persons who may be waiting on the
opposite side Of the car.
From the manner which these driv-
ers play the game one would suppose
that a list of rewards or points have
been made up among them to be given
to the driver soaring the greatest num-
Der OF persons in one season.
Automobile drivers are playing
fast game on the crosstoWn streets
also. and no doubt many worlds rec
ords have been smashed during the
last month. During the early evening
hours the Brigham street speedway is
particularly we'll patronized. and few
evenings pass without several persons
having narrow escapes from being nit
while aighting from street cars. It is
evident that one Of the rules Of the
Brigham street game is that if your
machine is not capable Of making six
~ miles an hour you can't play. Heavy
traffic and fast machines are the two
essentials in these games. while po-
lice officers are not qualified TO even
witness the play. and they have not
bothered the players TO any extent.

veto it. 1t has even been said that S1r.
North must walk the plank. But Mr.
North is popular with the 'standpat-
ters' in congress. who want 20 have
him hold his job and who do not want
his power reduced.
Would the addition TO the census
bill of a clause appropriating s25, 900
for the presidents travelling expenses
cause Mr.. Taft to overlook the pro-
visions 70 which he now objects and
lead him TO approve it? Or would he
disregard this entirely irrelevant sec
ton and treat the bill as if no such
Appropriation were contained in it?7

The OF inland waterway transportation receives
substantial impetus in the report of Herbert Knox Smith
commissioner Of corporations of the department Of COM
and labor, just made to the president The cheI
feature Of this report is the revelation Of the non-reIation
OF the various component parts Of tie vast avaab H.
land waterway system of the United States the moral Of
which is the necessity of correating the unconhected
sections. This is the work which has been comprehen.
sivey outlined and is being carried on with everncreas
ing viqor. Mr. Smith shows that while the United States
has aggregate of $500 miles of river navigation Of six
feet deep and over and in addition over 1000 miles Of
canals this splendid total is fragmenta-y and its elective
ness is heavily discounted by this fact cohesive sys
tenn Of nearly 5000 miles Of inland waterways would be
stupendous national asset Not only is the navigation to-
tai broken up disconnected parts but the
great diversity Of equipment the varying depths and con-
dions and many other features which could be improved
combine TO lessen the available efficiency Of the system
A significant portion Of Mr. Smiths report deals with the
decline the canal mileage. which once amounted to
$500 miles, but which has been reduced BY abandon
and otherwise to less than one-haf costing mort.
than S00OO0.0O0. The immense possibilities Of water
transportation pointed and the fact plainly shown
that the waterways Of the country are carrying only frac-
ton OF the traffic which they should The entire report is
practical and Illuminating. view of the efforts now being
made greater scale than ever before to utilize the
neglected means OF transportation furnished BY the coun-
hys thousands OF miles Of river and canal systems
