Secretary WEIGH from the Chicago
Examiner, asking for fifty copies of
the folder for that papers informa-

Another letter received yesterday

A supply was sent. Every few days
similar requests are received from

In divers and numerous ways the
board of trade is securing publicity
for the Salt River valley. About a
month ago Secretary Welch got out
three little newspaper filters. The
three filters together filled only one
typewriter page. They were sent
out to various newspapers, many Of
which used them. They were copied
in turn from those papers. One in
particular concerning the ostrich in

HISTORY AND HABITS
OF ALFALFA WEEV|L
i
Utah Experiment Station Issues
Valuable Pamphlet on Import
ant Subject

The first official pamphlet to be
published on the alfalfa leaf weeviI
has just been issued by the Utah
agricultural experiment station. II
was written by Secretary ID. Z.
Lantz and portion follows:
TIE alfalfa or Iuccrne weevil
tPhytcnomous murinus) was intro
duced into this country probably in
the packing or in packages OF
articles of international commerce,
some time prior TO 1894. when it
was first discovered by the ento-
mclogists cf the Utah Agricultural
Experiment station attacking a small
field of aI1slfa in the vicinity of Salt
Lake City, Utah. From this point
it has nee that time spread over

the country northward to near Og-
den and southwark to beyond Provo
AMI nom a considerable distance
westward of Toolie. very nearly to
the borders of Wyoming.
The ogss are deposited chiefly in
punctures made in the young stems
by the adult beetles; the larvae, as
soon as they hatch, make their way

lie plants. feeding upon the INF ID
ing ..,e~ 3nd tender si-Iu>. ana
thus prevent growth of the young
plants. Later on i'm the season,
after the insects have reached the
adult stage. these still attack the
alfalfa plants by gnawing the bark
from the stem,S thus destroying
them.
In many alfalfa fields about Salt
Lake. at the time for moving the
first crop of hay, the plants had not
made sufficient growth to admit of
moving; while the second crop was
seriously damaged ~ the feeding OF
the adult beetles just described.
approximately, damages to the
amount of half million dollars
was caused during the last year by
this pest in Utah. &c.
NO thoroughly practical measures
have been found for preventingSthe
spread of the pest or very materially
reducing the results of its depreua-
tions. -!
.'rhe habits of the adults in hiding
a,vav in baled hay. in fruit packages,
or almost any other similar articles
their 1ftqcn-
ing themselves to freight cars and hid
ing themselves in the vestibules OF
Pullman sleeping cars. makes their dlf-
fusion by railways almost unprevent-
able. Twenty-seven individuals were
taken from the vestibule of one sleep
ing car attached to train at SAT- Lake
CITY last July Also, the adult insects
fly about freely during the summer and
being carried by the winds are also
in this manner widely diffused.
The present indications are that the
insect will make its appearance in
southern wyoming and eastern Nevada
the coming spring. Fortunately, alfalfa
does not enter into international COM
merce as does cotton; therefore this In
sect is not likely to affect articles of
international commerce. But over the
western country. where il seems likely
to diffuse itself and carry on its de-
structive work, there is much territory
where alfalfa is the only crop that can
be raised. and if this is destroyed the
farmers will be placed in sore straits
and confronted with a more serious
problem than is brought about by any
other insect known TO occur in this
country. over a good portion of the
country west of the Tooth meridian al
falfa is the money crop of the farmers,
and any influence tending to prevent
or interfere with the cultivation of this,
will constitute a calamity throughout
that country.
The insect has no natural enemies
excepting frogs and toads. Birds do
not appear to relish them. No insect
enemies are known. or have Yet been
discovered: and fungus diseases that
attack similar larvae in the east have
failed to become established when in
troduced from the eastern part Of the

BRIBERY CHARGES.
Illinois State Senate Is Not Through
With lorimer Election Scandal.

With Lorimer Election Scandal.
A Springfield, ILL.,, dispatch. says;
The charges of bribery in the election
of William Lorimer to the United
States senate will be pushed by the
state senate to the limit, following
the adoption of a resolution in that
body, which declares that the seat
was obtained by bribery and corrup-
ton. The resolution passed by a
vote Of 80 to 10, and recommendation
was made to the United States SEN
ate to push the investigation with all
haste. Evidence which was gathered
by the state senate investigating
committee recently, connecting Ed
ward Hines, the lumber millionaire,
and Edward Tilden, head of the beef
trust, with the raising and distribu.
ton of an alleged 100000 corruption
fund, which was used to buy votes in
the legislature, will be presented to
the senate.
Principally the state senate de-
mands that the United States senate
clear the good name of the state by
ousting Lorimer. Added to this, the
resolution embodied a rebuke to
Judge Edelor Petit, of Chicago, who
relieved Tilden and two of his asso-
ciates from testifying or producing
documentary evidence demanded by
the committee on writ of habeas
corpus.
1t was declared at Springfield, ILL.,, |
that the Helm committee would use
every means In its power to punish |
Tilden for contempt in refusing to ap-
pear before it.
1t is probable he will be forced to
show his books in the investigation
Of the part played in the bribery by
State Senators Broderick and Penn
berton, who are alleged to have been
the go-betweens.

Trigger of Gun.

Trigger OF Sun.
Lester Hustled, ~ years old, told
the authorities of Greenwich, Conn,
that, at his fathers request, he
pulled the trigger Of a shotgun, which
blew the right side of the mans head
off.
Frederick Hustled, a wealthy farm
er, was found in his home late yester-
day with his head partly blown off
and a shotgun lying on table. The
boy said his father sent his mother
away, called him into the house and
laying the gun on a table, knelt SO
that his left eye was at the muzzle of
the gun. Then he said: Pull the
trigger; it isn't loaded. l want to
hear how it sounds
The boy pulled the trigger, the
charge of shot blowing away the left
side of the fathers face and head.
Repeated questions failed to shake
the boys story, and the medical
officer decided he would have to call
it a case of suicide.
