Ants to Rjd Trees Of Scale.

Prof. Harlan has discovered that
the ordinary black ant will remove
the scale from fruit trees without
injuring the trees or leaves in the
least He says their work is more
complete than that accomplished by
spraying O. BY any of the imported
insects
The ants are captured by placing
plate Of sugar near an ant hill. and
when covered with ants the plate is
put in the forks Of the infected tree.
The ants leave the sugar and go to
work on the scale. AS soon as they
all leave the sugar the plate is
placed at the foot of the tree and as
the ants come down after having
cleaned the tree Of scale they again
assemble on the sugar and are thus
easily removed to another tree.
Several ranchers IN this section
have tried the scheme. and estimate
that it will be worth millions to fruit

District Forester Clyde Leavitt and

GOO was Issued by the secretary OF ag-
riculturc for the current season, and
IT was this fact, together with various
other questions which made advisable
a conference with the forest officials.
In speaking of the meeting and what
had been accomplished through the
organization OF the sheepmen's asso-
citation, Forester Leayitt said.
The supervisor had received applls
cations for 10000 head of sheep more
than the number authorized by the
secretary of agriculture. Room for but
5000 of these could be made by the
admission of FIVE new class "A begin
ners at 500 head each. In sitting out
these applications and deciding upon
which ones should be approved the
following principles were observed,
"First-Preference should be given
to the owners of improved ranch prop
erty. This Is for the reason that the
property owners are the men who are

"Second--Preference should also be

man who Is building up the country
should be favored, and in many cases
the development OF ranch property is
impracticabie unless the owner can
market his hay by feeding 1t to stock.
At the low rates per ton and the un-

many In his audience, are thus given
by the London Hospital:
THE doctor Is forced by competition

The doctor shows much skill In adapt

hygiene which his hospital training
has taught him. On wholly unscien-

ly well. 1t is thoroughly wrong thai
doctors income should be reduced by
his own efficiency. and that by the ad-
vances of preventive medicine many
doctors should be ruined. A bishop

Favorable Action Anticipated at Reg
uIar Session Of City Council
Monday Night.

The committee Of the whole OF the
city council were in session last even
ing to consider the proposition OF
granting a franchise to the Ogden
Rapid Transit company to operate a
street car service over Wall avenuo,
between Twenty-ffth street and Thir
ty-third, which had been before the
council for some time past The
ordinance for the franchise had pre-
viously been drawn and passed its
second reading before the council. The
object OF the meeting last night was
TO hear from the people an expression
either for or against the granting ot
the proposed franchise before IL
should pass to its final reading and
passage.
The meeting was well attended by
citizens interested in the matter, the
entire council except President Brown

JEROME RESUMES RAIDS
ON GAMBLING HOUSES

New York. March 20.-Resuming for
the time being his custom Of several
years ago, District Attorney William
Travers Jerome conducted two raids
on alleged gambling houses on the
East Side at midnight last night II
was by these raids that Mr.. Jerome
gained fame in former years. The
houses entered last night are al 123
Second avenue and 3S East Seventh
street Seven men were arrested In
the first house but in the second es'
tablishment no prisoners were taken.
1t is said that Mr.. Jerome decided
To make the raid because attempts
had been made to bribe an attache OF
his Office TO Tip off" the houses after
the proprietor bad promised some lit
tie time ago TO obey the law, AT the
Second avenue house, pick axes and

chiefly by Mr.. Plngree and a number
OF ladies who were interested in the
project.
Considerable discussion was entered
into regarding the matter, during
which no particular objection TO the
granting of the franchise was shown
The Hartman interests represented
that they had no objection to the
granting Of the franchise If there
could be a provision injected into the
franchise that the contemplated stree.
car line over the avenue be confined
strictly to urban purposes. They
thought the Rapid Transit people
should not be given the right TO
operate the extension for interurban
purposes or be given a right Of way
over Wall avenue, which runs parallel
to the Union Pacific road. which would
enable them TO connect with an in.
coming road that would be thrown into
competition with the trunk line now
In operation by the Union Pacific COM
pany. Mr.. Hollingsworth stated that
Farley Williams, the attorney for the
Hartman interests and who was pre-
vented from attending the meeting on
account Of sickness, would write
clause covering the stated objection
TO the franchise which the Union Pa
ciflc company would ask to be iu-
serted IN the proposed franchise.
The consensus of opinion largely
Prevailed that the franchise asked FOR
should be granted. but little attention
being given to the proposition made
by the Hartman people. The resi-
cents Of the southwestern part of the
city were particularly sollcitous that
the franchise be granted so as to fur
Eish them street car facilities Into the
business center of the city. They con-
tended that they had built sidewalks,
opened streets and paid for connec-
tons established by the council and
that, In turn, they now wanted street
car connections.
President Eccles stated that the
Rapid Transit company was desirous
of extending their street car system
to the section of country designated in
the franchise, and that the road would
be built there IL the franchise was
granted at the earliest possible mo-
ment. He also stated that the COM
pany had already ordered material for
the building of something like fifteen
miles of street car line, which would
extend the services to Thirty-third
street on Wall avenue, block and a
half farther east from the present ter
minus on Twenty fifth street. into the
rural districts embracing Plain City
and other northern settlements and
through ogden canyon. and that other
extensions In the city would be made
as soon as the patronage to the road
would justify the expenditure for such
extensions.
All present were given a free voice,
after which the committee resolved IL
self into special session to consider
the matter. While nothing particular
ly definite could be learned as to what
the action of the committee was, it
is quite safe to say that when the city
council meets next Monday night the
committee will recommend that the
franchise be granted In the form that
It Is now written.

new men 1t Is necessary to reduce the
permits of the older users of the for
est. many of whom have large hold
ings of ranch property and have used
the range continuously during a long
period Of years. The moral right of
these men to every possible considera-
ton is fully recognized by the service.
However, the necessity of making pro-
vision for new men, in order to assist
in assuring the maintenance of their
homes, is also recognized 1t is felt,
therefore, that reductions on the older
users should be gradual, and that these
reductions should be made only TO
provide for the small nearby settler
who actually needs the range in order
TO assure the maintenance of his home
The number Of sheep at which such
men may he started with permits on
the Wyoming forest has beet set at
COO. Provision is made for gradually
increasing these men up to l 500 head
or a one-herd basis. The establish
ment OF this protective limit OF 1,500
head is held TO define who may be
considered as a class "A beginner. In
other words, a man who owns more
than 500 head IS not considered a
small owner, and the assignment Of
range on the forest Is not essential to
the maintenance of his home. The
service does not feel Justified In cut
ting down the older users to provide
range for men the maintenance OF
whose homes is already assured.
"By at once eliminating from con-
sideration the non-holders OF improved
ranch property, the men who winter
their sheep on the desert instead of
feeding them on the products Of their
ranches, and the larger owners OF
sheep. the complexlty of the problem
confronting the advisory board was
greatly reduced OF course. the men
whose applications for permits were
not approved naturally feel disappoint- g,
ed This however, was inevitable in |
