SALT LAKE AND
STATE NEWS
HARTMAN AND GOULD PLAN
MING FOR BIG ENTERPRISE.

Salt Lake City, May 20,-Rumors OF
the organization of a gigantic new ex-
press company, which will include one
OF the leading express companies OF
Denver and which may be able to mo-
nopolize a great portion Of the trans
continental business by reason of the
fact that it will reduce the time be-
tween New York and San Francisco
via Denver and Salt Lake by thirty,
six hours. are rife among express c.
cles. 1t is said the new company Will
be backed by Edward H. Hartman
and George Gould, and that the two
interests will work in harmony to aco
complish the shortening of the time
between coast and coast a full day
and a half.
The new company, 1t is said, will be
ready for business this fall upon the
completion of the Western Pacific
railroad. which is expected to be ready
for traffic some time in September.
The news of the completion Of the
Spring Garden tunnel, bore OF 1000
feet long, on the Western Pacifis,
shows that construction work on the
new line is being pressed to the utter
most and that the road will be ready
for business at the time appointed, Is
the thorough belief of the men who
are in charge of the work
Seven days are now consumed in
transporting express packages from
New York to San Francisco. when the
Harriman-Gould combination goes into
effect the time will be reduced to
little more than five days.
According to the best reports obtain
able. the route OF the new line win
be over the Baltimore anil Ohio, which
is controlled by Hartman, from the
Atlantic coast to Pittsburg. At the
latter point the Gould lines take up
the matter and by way of the Wa
bash 1t will be delivered to Chicago.
Here the Union Pacific takes up the
haul and the matter is landed in Salt
Lake City. where the Western Pa
ciflc takes 1t over and delivers II in
San Francisco. the entire journey re-
quiring only five and half days to
complete.
It is said that when Hartman ac-
quireJ a big block of Denver and Rio
Grande stock he had this coup in eX-
press business in view, especially as
the Rio Grande stock sarried with 1t
a large interest in the Globe Express
company at Denver which the new
combination is said to be planning to
absorb.

OGDEN MUST DRIVE OUT THE
HOUSE FLY.

The women OF Ogden must be pre-
pairing to wage war on the house fly.
Now is the time to organize. VIII
some OF the womens clubs Of ogden
take the lead and bring about con-
certed action throughout the city?
We ask our women readers. Have
you been reading the reports from
the East on the elaborate plans for
the determination of the house fly
and have you studied the statements
OF doctors and health officers as to the
far-reaching results Of 0ies allowed
to multiply and enter the homes2 1t
is claimed that much of the typhoid
fever of the summer and fall months
and much of the spread of other dis
eases is due to the germs of diseases
carried by tde fly.
There are several methods suggest
ed by which to lessen the fly evil. One
is to screen the homes. employ fly pa
per and other traps, but the most
practical suggestion, and one which
gets at the root of the evil, Is to de-
stroy the fly larvae. The eggs Of flies
are deposited in rubbish, garbage or
manure. BY covering such filth with
an insecticide, the larvae can be kill
ed. All stables should be regularly
treated to sprInkling of insecticide,
also all rubbish and garbage should
be covered.
If one OF the women's clubs cannot
devote the time to organizing this
crusade. then We suggest that the
lady officers confer with the city san
itary Inspector and urge him to bring
about a systematic campaign for this
much-needed elimination of the foul
fly-tne fly which feeds in filth and
then flies, with dripping legs and
hairs, to the family table, there to
establish a colony of disease germs.

TREES AND FLOWER BEDS
DESTROYED.

Heber Scowcroft, prior to building
q palatial home ON Twentyfourth
street. set out saplings to beautify the
grounds. A day or two after he dis
covered that his labors had been to
no purpose as vandals had destroyed
the tender growths.
Complaints from at least n dozen
sources have come to this Office, of
trees injured and flower beds rob-
bed. Near the corner of Twenty-ninth
street and Grant avenue boys have
stolen the flowers and then uprooted
the plants. including rose bushes.
Would It not be good plan to en-
ploy few plain clothes men on the
police force for a few days to search
out these wilful destroyers Of trees,
shrubbery and flowers? An example
made of one OF these vandals would
serve to stop the practice.
Many owners OF beautiful lawns are
endeavoring to make them more beau
tiful In an effort to have Ogden show
to best advantage during the period
of the Grand Army cncampment, but
If hoodlum boys and few rascally
men are to be allowed to set at naught
all this careful. painstaking work,
then there is no encouragement for
-
lawns and flower beds, to continue to
strive to make Ogden exceptionally
attractive.

FRUIT CROP AND THE
LEAF-ROllER.

The fruit district In and around Og-
den this season Will produce an ex-
cellent crop of apples, pears and
plums, and the fruit tree Inspector,
after a careful investigation says G5
per cent of the peaches, 60 per cent of
the sweet cherries. and Go per cent Of
the strawberries have been saved
This is remarkable, as the heavy frosts
Of three weeks ago were thought to
have been too severe to allow any
fruit buds to escape destruction. Had
the forecasts proved true, Ogden
would have experienced It's first fruit
crop failure. and, therefore, 1t is a
source of rejoicing that this section
has yet to suffer set back Of that
nature.
The 65 per cent peach crop may
prove to be n better money producer
than when the trees, overloaded, yield
inferior fruit. Two years ago heavy
frost thinned the trees and as a re-
suit the finest peaches ever gathered
from the orchards of Weber county
were marketed at fancy prices, and
the orchardists that year gave thanks
that the frost had served them to
such good purpose
At present the leaf-roller is max
ing its appearance on the strawberry
vines and the prospective 65 per cent
crop may be reduced to a smaller per
centage If quick action is not taken.
The source of the lcaf-roller is a small
rusty brown moth with white marks,
which appears at this time of year,
dcpositing eggs from which q green
ish brown worm crawls to spin web.
rolling the leaves and destroying
them. TO overcome these worms. the
strawberry patches now should be
sprayed with Paris green or arsenate
of lead and again sprayed about the
time the berries form.
In the opinion of Roy N Ras-
mussen, tho fruit tree inspector,
Weber county horticulturists once
more will be richly rewarded by the
yield of their fruit trees. The only
thing that can rob them of their har-
vest is a failure to spray.
