TREASURY SHOWING
REGARDED As GOOD
Deficit of $1,5OO,OOO for the
Month of April, but Surplus
for the Fiscal Year.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The govern
ments finances for April make a better
showing than expected. Although the
month shows a deficit of nearly $500 900
and at one time promised TO do worse. a
rally in its closing days changed deficit
to a surplus for the fiscal year. The
whole showing to date is sl.55l.s25 above
disbursements At this time last year
more than II had received.
Although the working balance and the
general fund each have fallen about
never so great More than S1.s0s. 100000
is held. Even though the working bal
ance is down to s2S 600 and the gem
erel fund 10 $4,000, 600. treasury officials
find no cause for uneasincsss
Both Items were much less at various
times last year and the treasury ran on
an even keel. The continued easy condi-
from investors from all parts OF the
country for government guaranteed Sc
curities would make IT possible for Sec
reiary MacVeagh to bring out the wait
ing bond Issue at any time.
The treasury Will be called upon to
make interest payments this month Of
nearly S2,000000. That Will not be re :
garded as @ drain because IL represents
the interest on only about S267 100000
of the public dobt. Interest on tho big

the 10000 mark In April. although there
are now only 1871 in existence. with total
outstanding circulation of s72S,000 900.
The disposition TO contract their circu-
latIon, however, continues. 1t Is not eN-
pected to expand until autumn.

Special TO The Tribune.
BRIGHAM CITY, May 1.-After In
specting number of the biggest orchards
Of the city. fruit experts declare that
there is still a good crop of nearly every
variety OF fruit In this district. The ad-
vance OF the buds during the past few
days reveals a splendid crop outlook, al
though large amount was destroyed by
frost
1t is generally admitted that this year s
frost was the hardest that ever was
known after the fruit trees were in
bloom. and that everything wasn't frozen
to crisp is considered marvellous.
Those few who used the smudging
process will be well paid for their ef-
forts when harvesting time comes, for in
every orchard where the smudge pots
were used there are Indications OF much
better crop than elsewhere.

ENGINEER POINTS
OUT MEMS DEMANDS
Explains What Enginemen and
Trainmen on Western Paci-
fic Are Asking.

During the past week considerable pub
licity has been given to the question of
a prospective strike or wallSout of West
ern Pacific enginemen and trainmen be-
cause Of alleged trouble regarding the
wage scale but In all the statements
that have been published the demands of
the employees have not been specifically
stated.
II. l.. Case. an engineer. who has been
in the employ of the Western Pacific
company for two and one-half years and
who now runs from Elko: New, to Wend-
over, makes the following statement in
regard to wages received:
That the employees on the Western
Pacific are paid standard wages now is
not true. | will make a few comparisons.

where the standard scale Of pay prevails
the rate is So 35 per 100 miles, differ

scale road would have paid for a single
trip over the road.
"The Instances ! have cited are just a
sample of conditions on the Western
Pacific. The men who have made up
their minds to strike IL conditions are
not bettered are perfectly justified in do
Ing SO. they have not one single con-
ditIon that the employees have on other
roads. and have stood by the company
through all its hard times and are en-
titled TO better treatment than they are
receiving"
Mr.. Case explained that the Western
Pacific trainmen were asking the rate
of pay which was granted under the Chi
cago agreement signed by the roads and
employees last January, which allowed a
10 per cent increase over the pay obtain
ing at that time, which Increase. he de-
clared, the Western Pacific had failed to
grant.
