Phil c. Isbell, western buyer for the
wholesale fruit firm of George Mid
dendOrf of Chicago, has arrived In Salt

traeted for, the principal buyers being
Chicago firms. Mr. Isbell will leave

UTAH COUNTY FARMERS
ADOPT STRINGENT TACTICS

Especial 40 The Herald Republican,
Provo, April 1.-THE cold weather this
morning brought great danger TO the fruit
crop, causing concerted action TO be taken
10 counterfeit the effect Of the frost that
seemed inevitable tOnigAt. A telephone
message received from the United states
weather bureau at Salt Lake by Mayor
Ray, in response TO a request for informa-
ton, stated that there would be heavy
frost In this section of the state tonight
This serious situation was discussed by
Mayor Ray, William NJ. iROylance, John
". Farrer and others in the Commercial
club rooms. and it was decided to call
the people together ana warn them.
The fire bell was run at 1880 O'Clock
this forenoon and a crowd soon gathered.
They were addressed by " llliam NJ, Roy
lance, Rev. ] Chalten Smith, Mayor Ray,
&. j. Carpenter. Z. l.. Ward, Postmaster
Glove and others. Various methods Of
making temporary smudges were dis
cussed and citizens were all asked to CO
operate with the orehardists in the work
of saving the fruits. This was cheerfully
that the news should be spread by those
at the meeting and assistance solicited.
This afternoon all the schools were dis
missed so that the larger boys could take
part in smudging. IT is understood that
schools in other parts of the county fol-
lowed this example.
A committee to receive offers to help
and applications for help has its head
This committee conducted a labor eX-
change during the afternoon.
Volunteer Use of Autos.
Owners of automobiles and carriages
volunteered the use of their machines to
carry the frost fighters to the orchards
and now, after nightfall, an army of men
and boys is at work lighting and main
tanning smudges. What makes the work
more difficult than it viii be in the fu-
ture is the lack of enough stove heaters
TO cover the ground, but their Importance
is becoming appreciated and next year
there will be a fun supply on hand. For
this reason temporary smudges will be
used to a great extent In addition TO
burning brush and straw. there are other
methods suggested " the promoters of
the frost crusade. One is to use
heavy wire screens placed on top of
kindiings with coal on top of the screen,
which smOlders and burns when the kind
iings are set on fire. Another is to use
a piece of punetuFed sheet iron in the
same way as the wire screen. Then there
is the making OF a crows" nest of rods
Fill this with coal and place kindlinss
Under il and light them. which causes
the coal to burn and smoke.
The reports from the orchards at a late
hour are that most effective work is be-
ing done, and il is believed that but very
little damage will result from the cold
weather, while If nothing had been done
IN a public way the loss would have been
very great.

WAITING FOR THE SUMMONS
j. p. T. McCroskey of Tennessee
Flat Cannot Long Survive.

We regret TO announce that J. 2. z.
McCroskey, one of the best known pio-
neers OF Whitman county, has been given
up By his friends and will probably soon
pass over the Dark River. He has been
confined TO his bed for a month. The
ills incident to old age are slowly, but
surely, doing the work that leads to the
grave.
Mr.. McCroskey will be 80 years old the
Sth Of next month. He came to Whit.
man county with his wife and a large
family of children 81 years ago last
month, taking up homestead on Ten
nessee fat, being the second settler in
that rich section Of country. The Nc
Croskey home has always been noted for
its beautiful and substantial surround
ings, along with genuine hospitality.
Mr. McCFoskey was in Colfax the Fourth
of July. probably the last time he will
ever visit the city, his son, Virgil T.
McCroskey, bringing him here in an
auto.

HE FOUGHT THE FIRE FIEND
CoIfax Boy at St. Maries When De-
struction Seemed Certain.

R. g. CIendenin and family and Ed
Jones returned Sunday after spending
most of their vacation OF two weeks in
camp at Chatcolet. Side trips were
made to st. Mares, St Joe and other
tire-et -icken districts in that region.
Mr. Jones, in colversation with rep
resentative OF The Ghz9tte, said the con-
ditions at St. Maries, where he spent two
days with friends to fight fires and render
assistance in escape if necessary, beggars
description. Flames reached the edge of
the town. The roar of the flame sound
ed like the roar of the ocean when lashed
into fury by storm, and fiery tongues
leaped hundreds of feet at bound, iG
being an inferno that only the pen OF q
Dante could describe. A pail OF dense
smoke sitting to the senses filed the air.
Mr.. Jones was there the memorable ght
when the people OF St. Maries were called
at O'Clock in the morning to get ready
to leave their homes and take to the
river landing, boats being in readiness
to carry the women and children down
the river. Many families buried trunks
in the back yards, reserving more precious
valuables which they could take along.
st. Maries and the country surrounding
it Was hard hit. Even now fires are
raging in the immediate neighborhood,
but the great wave Of fame has passed
higher into the mountain businesses
where the virgin timber is more dense.
Saturday and Sunday the smoke was
so dense on Lake Occur d'Alene that it
was with difficulty steamers could make
landings The steamer Idaho fl floundered
around in the pail OF smoke and finally
got stuck on the shore in the wrong
place couple OF tugs came to the
rescue and pulled her off.
While forest fires were all around St
Joe the town was never in danger, it be-
ing situated different from St. Maries.

apart. Damage to property-farms,
homes, timber-in the st. Joe country is
immense and the devastation continues,

GOOD JOB is NEARLY DONE
Channel OF South Palouse River Is
Greatly improved.

Street Superintendent Juhnke is doing
good work in clearing out the rubbish
and deepening the channel Of the South
Palouse at and under the bridge on
Main street fronting the court house. A
force Of men, with several teams, are
doing the work. The fl 'od waters of
last March completely choked the en-
trance under the bridge with bridge tim
bers, wrecked buildings, and fotsam and
letsam OF every description that came
from above, the result being that the
channel Of the river was diverted from
it's course, doing immense damage, the
effects of which are still iD evidence. The
tons upon tons OF stuff collected at the
head of the bridge has been taken out,
and now the gravel and dirt collected
there as well as.under the bridge is being
carted away and used es filling in other
places.
There is no running water in the South
Palouse now. There are stagnant pools
here and there, but the main channel OF
the river is waterless. Teams go under
the bridge from the north end and leave
loaded with gravel from above. When
the rains come and the SHOWS melt in the
spring water will pour again down
through this channel, but there will be
less opportunity for it to be cIogged with
fiotsam from above than in times past.
1t will pour through like a mill race.

CoIfax and the tunnel, distance OF
three miles, a large force being employed

a point between the fair ground and the
tunnel where the river channel had been
turned, the railroad taking to the hill
side at this point for short distance,
the river being troublesome and threat
ening at the high stage. With this ex-
ception the road will continue the old

bridges and terminal improvements here
are in the air, but have not taken def
mite shape at this writing.

The Tariff Commission.

"(3) The provision for tariff board
or tariff commission contained in the
new tariff law is not only the most i'm
portant provision OF the law but more
important in its far reaching effects on
future tariff legislation than any pro-
vision to be found in any tariff law ever
before enacted in this country. The
commissioners provided for under this
law have been appointed. They are
men eminent for character, ability and
knowledge OF the subjects they will be
called upon to deal with in their official
capacity. They are free from any con-
nection with any business or interest
affected in any way by the tariff. Their
business will be to collect informat OF
the cost of every dutiable article at home
and abroad and lay that information
before the president and congress. 1t
will be impartially gathered, full and ac-
curate. 1t will leave no chance to such
manufacturers or other special interests
as miph seek an undue advantage under
any future revision of the tariff to mis-
lead congressional committees or the
nublic as to the actual cost OF the
dutieble article at home or abroad.

Cannon and Cannonism.

For fully one hour Mr.. Poindexter di-
lated on Cannon and Cannonism, as he
called it, which, sifted down, simply
means that Uncle Joe, as speak Of the
house, carried out the rules OF the house
adopted by a majority OF the members
of the house. That is the sum total OF
Uncle Joe's off5nse. Much has been said
of the rules OF the house since the days
of Tom Reed, whom the democrats
dubbed Gear" and denounced the rules
as savagely as the insurgents now de-
nounce Cannon and the rules, but when
they succeeded in gaining control of the
house adopted the same rules, which was
the only course left for them to do if
they wanted to enact legislation and pre-
serve their record.
Every intelligent citizen knows that
the house, being large, unwieldy body.
it is necessary to clothe the speaker with
power to enforce certain rules in order to
enact legislation, otherwise the wheels OF
progress would stop.
