Ogden, April 15.-Reports from all
sections of Weber county point TO an
unprecedented damage to the fruit crop
from the heavy frost of last night. In
all orchards where smudges were not
used TO create an artificial heat, the
loss will include at least two-thirds of
the crop, IT is said. Fruit men provi-
dent enough to equip themselves with
smudges report little or no damage. At
Roy and other points in the southern
part of the county ice formed half an
inch thick. The loss to fruit men in that
section was almost total. At Pleasant
View and North Ogden the temperature
dropped to 70 degrees above zero, kill
ing all unprotected fruit.
This afternoon the Weber County
Fruit Growers association issued a call
te all its members to take precautionary
measures tonight, and as a result every
device for the protection of fruit, OBJ
tainable in Ogden, was selling at pre-
MUM.

knew Chairman H. c. Mcmillan and c.
ID. Rooklidge. but few knew ". j. Hal
loran and 4. j. Armstrong, the newer
members of the board. 1t was stated
that the purpose of the meeting was to
bring the board members and the in
spectoFs closer together, to get &C
quainted and talk over the work in
progress in the city. Chairman McMil-
ian said il was the purpose OF the board
e hold similar meetings oftener in the
future and to solicit the views and sug-
gestions of the inspectors as to the
method of handling the work.
Complains About Walks.
The complaint was made by one of
the inspectors of which there wer7
about 80 present, that he had found
many cases where cement sidewalks
are being laid without first taking out
a permit from the board. He said that
some OF the walks were in good shape,
while others were not laid in a work.
manlike manner. All of these, he said
were on small jobs; The inspectors
should report all such cases to the chief
inspector, to be reported to the board
and some action taken to insist that
the permit be taken out. or the party
prosecuted.
The power of an inspector to stop any
piece of work when ne believed the
work was not being done according to
specifications was impressed upon the
said they would stand back OF the in
spectors in case they took the proper
action.
Following the attack of City Engi-
neer McGonagle on the inspectors as a
whole, in which he declared the even
ing's talk was wasted one of the in
spectOrs declared that one way to get
good inspectors was TO increase the pay
from So a day to something worth the
while of a competent man. He sug-
gested that the board members take
this up. His remarks met with the ap-
pIOval of all the inspectors in the
room.
No action was taken as a result of
the meeting, but there is more than a
possibility that City Engineer McGOn-
igle is about to get himself disliked by
the board members for his frank state
ments. This was the trouble between
L. c. Kelsey, former city engineer.
and the board. McGonagle has been
working a good deal and saying little
regarding the inspection system of Salt
Lake, but IL is understood he has gath
cred together sufficient facts to make
good his stand If he cares to go after
the board on this matter Now that he
has given his views thu the inspection
system is rotten" he al have no de-
sire to back away ana axe anything
back. Both Chairman Mcmillan and
ROoklidge OF the board are fighters,
and it is more than likely that some
interesting times are at hand between
the two departments.

we're, except where heaters were used.
Enoch Farr, one of the large fruit grow
ers of the county, said he hac received
many reports and that they indicated
that the fruit men had not lost heavily
where heaters were brought into use in
time.
In Tooele county heavy damage was
done, according to Peter A. Droubay.
because of the fact that not many
heaters were used in the orchards.
At Spanish Fork, Utah county, a kill
ing frost wiped out apricots and peaches
salmost completely. The temperature
dropped to about 20 degrees and froze
standing water into ice more than a
quarter of an inch thick.

OF the many questions before the
voters of Oregon for consideration
and settlement at the polls on next
Tuesday there is one which looms
up larger than all others as to i'm
portance and seriousness. The que5-
tion of statewide prohibition or To-
cal option may be orc OF honest diff
ference as to its econ omic workings,
at least, until it has had thorough
trial and impartial enforcement. The
Home Rule" measure, however, is
of altogether different nature.
Some of it's most enthusiastic sup
porters, in the early stages of the
campaign, are beginning to realize
the seriousness of such e measure
becoming a constitutional amend
ment.
What would there be to prevent
the colonizing of any community with
saloon keepers and sympathizers and
all Of the element that goeI to make
up that class, and t. incorporate a
town or city without regard to its
location (posibly adjacent to some
of our most prosperous and moral
citier) and then to vote to license
the saloon business within their cor
poTate limits? 1t would not be ne
c sary even for them to make an ap-
plication to the state legislature un-
der our present law, but by vote of

Grants Pass had ten saloons it was
estimated that not less than $3.50, 900
was passed over their bars in the
course Of the year Granting that
our present soft drink parlors take
/ 10 $4,000 annually, we still have
flcp.'00 turned into the channels of
'er.unate trade, and that snug sum
will maze quite a ripple in our busi-
ness world.
Furthermore, the fact that our
town was dry has made It attractive
to number Of men Of means who
have located among us. Our new
banking institution is one instance
OF this kind. Take q walk about
town and see the new residences 60
ing up, and upon inquiry you will
find that most Of them are for new
comers who want a home where
there are no saloons.
The amount Of money in our banks
surely shows that local option has
not frightened capital away The
postoffice receipts, which show an
annual increase Of II per cent, are
but another sign post to show the
prosperous conditions We can con-
slider the telephone something OF q
luxury, but when the next telephone
list is published II win show an ad-
dlton OF nearly 75 new telephones
since April, 1910.
II local option makes financial
conditions so much better in a town
why should we think that the money
absorbing saloons would improve
matters? give the business men
credit for knowing a good thing wher
they see It, and I firmly believe the
verdict at the polls will be in accord
ance with the facts given above. Had
it not been for the faint heart o
some Of our good citizens two year.

,NnY a BUSINESS MAN
SHOULD VOTE DRY

In our first lessons ir arithmetic
re learned that two and two make
,cnf and that two from two levves
nothing. The liquor problem re-
semocs to me these two very simple
mathematical examples.
Grants Pass has now had two
years Of the local option law, AID
speaking from personal experience,
say 1t has been a good thing for
business. This has always been a
good hardware town and travelling
men coming here for the first time
are surprised at the size OF the stocks
carried. The mining industry has
been heavy user OF hardware. but
in spite of the fact that mining has
suffered n severe slump since the
panic OF three years ago, the hard
ware business has not suffered in any
way Two years ago we had four
hardware stocks, one Of them con-
siderably smaller than the others.
In these two years another firm has
put in a complete hardware line and
all the others have increased their
stocks, so that ! believe am well
within the limit when | say that the
hardware lines are 20 per cent
heavier than In June, 1908. also
know that none OF the firms have
suffered in volume or quality Of the
business done Cash sales are larger.
collections are good, and the outlook
for future business Is excellent. Not
only the hardware trade but other
lines show very similar conditions.
Look at the stylish clothing and
gents furnishing establishments, oX-
anime the complete lines Of dry
goods, the grocery stores and furni-
ture stocks, and you can not help but
see the difference between then
(l90S) and now 101O). If the
merchants OF Grants Pass with their
up-to-date methods are so ready to

STATISTICS SHOW LOWER TAX Rates
in DRY TOWNS Than IN Wet ONES

the voters of some towns hesitate to
close up the saloons for fear that the
loss of saloon revenue will greatly
increase the tax rate. We have at
hand few figures covering this
proposition from some of the promin-
ent wet and dry towns of Oregon. A
careful perusal of these figures will
show that the tax rate in the aver
age dry town is not higher than the
tax rate Of theaverage wet town.

The "Home Rule" Measure

the people in their described limits
they could adopt their own charter.
Where would the control or regula-
ton come? They would be a. law
unto themselves and the county
would have no voice or vote in their
affair o yes, we will become part
ners to the extent of furnishing the
grist to be ground in the form of
boys and girls, and then we would
take care of the finished product of
drunks, criminals and paupers. A
veritable Monte Carlo in our beau
tiful state. How does? it sound
How would you like that condition
to exist?
In all seriousness, voters, this
thing strikes to the very foundation
of our government and no one can
tell where 1T will end. 1t is laying
the foundation of anarchy or worse.
This Home Rule Amendment
has been so cunningly worded and
clothed with such fair sounding title
and argument that l am not sur,
prised that it has had the support Of
many good meaning persons, but
when once understood I cannot be-
lieve that any thinking man who has
a spark of patriotism or regard for
the young manhood of our state will
vote for such a vicious me e.sure.

Some Interesting COMPARISONS

One of the arguments most fire.
quently advanced in favor of the IL
cense policy is that 1t helps to pay
the taxes. This argument is supposed
to be the most effective in high
license towns where the revenue de-
rived from the saloon business is
proportlonately large; and perhaps

saloon men to move to St Johns or
some other adjacent town and thcre
by force ot numbers, control the re-
suit Of q local option election, choose
their own regulating and enforcing
powers. and draw thor trade from

Thus Il IS clearly evident that the
aim OF the Home Rule Amendment
Is TO tosten the saloon, with its dives
and brothels ON every section Of Or
