AMUNDSEN TOLD
SCOTT HIS PLAN
Meeting Of Explorers on the Shore of
Antarctic Land No Surprise
to Either.

San Francisco, May 3.-The recent
meeting on antarctic shores OF Road
Amundsen. the Norwegian explorer, and
Capt. Scott, head of the British expedi-
ton, was no surprise to either, according
to message received from Amundsen
Monday by Henry Lund Norwegian con-
sui general at this city. The message
stated that Amundsen had notified his
rival fromMadeira of his plans.
The meeting of the two at Whale bay,
in Ross sea. was very short. Capt. Scott
paid visit to Amundsen on the lat
ter's vessel, the Fran, and the follow.
ing day the call was returned aboard
the Terra Nova. Capt. Scott learned
that eight men Of the Fram's crew were
at the time establishing winter quarters
about two miles inland.
Amundsens plans for reaching the
south pole are revealed in mail advices
received here. He informed the British
officers that he hoped to reach the pole
via Beadmore glacier He had ll6 dogs
and enough sleighs and skis to work his
dogs in two shifts.
Amundsen expected to have all his
supplies landed and his winter quarters
ready for occupancy few days after
the Terra Nova left for New Zealand.
As soon as he was settled in his shore
camp, he intended to despatch the Fran
to Buenos Ayres, while he remained with
nine men to make his dash for farthest
south. The vessel will return in De-
cember or January to bring the expedi.
ton back
There are now three expeditions in
the antarctic waters the Japanese hav-
ing returned-Amundsen SCOTS, and
the Australian, under Capt. Douglass
Mawson.

Democratic Bill Will Be a
Compromise
A SLIDING-SCALE SYSTEM
To Be Adopted--Senate Committee OPP
poses Free Shoes--Long Hearing
Expected on Farmers Free
List Bill.

Washington, May 3.--The Democratic
members of the committee on ways and
means who, much to the distress OF
Speaker Clark and his lieutenants, stand
nine TO five for free raw wool, are now
considering an alternate proposition
which may be agreed upon. This is an
immediate rate of 9 cents pound on
the raw wool with a reduction OF cent
year in the rate until, at the end Of
five years. WOO automatically goes on
the free list.
II has become apparent Of late that
the House leaders are very much dis
turbed as result of the fact that q
majority of the Democratic members Of
the ways and means committee, as wei
MS majority of Democrats in the House
itself. favor free raw wool. Speaker
Clark, Representative Underwood Oh
Alabama, the ways and means chairman
and majority floor leader, and other
prominent Democrats are doing then
hest 10 stem the current Of free raw
wool sentiment. Up to date their ef'
forts have met with little success.
Now that they have put the annual
reduction proposition up to their col
leagues on the tariff framing commit
tee, there is a possibility that they may
save the day by postponing the placing
OF the commodity on the free list A;
Il is. the six-cent rate will constitute q
so per cent. reduction from the duties
imposed on raw wool by the Payne
Aldrich bill.

FREE LIST DEBATED.
Republicans Oppose Measure in the
House.

Washington, May Protection and
free trade were the themes of yester-
DAVIS debate in the House, over the
Democratic farmers free list bill. Mr..
Tilson of Connecticut said his state,
usually referred to in tariff debates as
manufacturing community, held large
and important farming interests but
that the farmers Of that state refused
TO be caught by the name of the meas
IRE.
S. w. Smith of Michigan and Burke
of South Dakota, Republicans, opposed
the measure because Of its assault upon
the doctrine of protection. Mr.. Catlin
of Missouri declared that IL would give
frmer foothold in the United States
to the growing Japanese trade.
Messrs. Byrns and Sims of Tennes-
see and Lever and Byrnes of South
Carolina, all Democrats, defended the
bill.

Appropriation of Million for Forest
Reserve Perhaps Not Available.

Washington, May 3.-President Taft
learned yesterday that by an oversight,
the 81 100000 appropriation in the APP
palachian forest reserve law will not
be available unless Congress takes fur
Their action.
The Appalachian measure became law
late in the last session of Congress. 1t
carried the appropriation of 1000 900,
of which 100000 was available in 1910
and 100000 before June 30, 1911.
Nineteen hundred and ten was only a
memory when the bill became law, SO
the first million was lost, according to
decision of the comptroller of the
treasury.
The commission authorized to expend
the money does not believe necessary
surveys can be completed in time to
purchase any of the land desired before
June 80.
A reappropriation by Congress prob
ably will be necessary.

BONDS FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

The Commercial-Boost club has
gotten behind the movement of the
Board of Education for a big school
building to accommodate the schools
which are today far too crowded. A
plan for bonding the city for 1876 900
has been recommended by the club
and the Board of Education, the
scheme Of bonding being considered
the only available way In which to
go about raising the necessary means
to construct a building such as its re.
quired for the schools at present.
UnquestionaDiy the city schools are
far too crowded to give to the chill
dren the best of educational condi-
tons. Another central school, located
so as to draw in the most number OF
children to their greatest convent.
ence, has been sadly needed for a
number of years. The city should
have been districted in the first
place, and schools located centrally
for the people, that all might get the
advantage of central school. And
now, when new era is nartiaIIv On
pearing for our schools and il appears
that the people realize this, 1t should
be the policy of the board to get the
best plan for centralizing the children
and construct the proposed building
accordingly. No haphazard way of 10.
eating such a building should be con.
sidered

poses, we believe that all people who
have the welfare of the city and the
children at heart will readily agree
with the plan. Under the present con
dtions 1t appears that to bond is the
only method to be followed. The
great good which flowed from the
bonds that constructed the Woodruff
school is argument enough for the
most reluctant citizen. The health of
our children demand that crowded
school rooms, unsanitary basement
rooms, lily ventilated attic rooms,
and all the attendant evils of conges-
ton shall not be tolerated. Any city
with a grain of patriotism and good
sense will give to the schools which
are training the rising generation all
the comforts and conveniences neces-
sary for the best type of education.
We, trust that the $4,000 asked for
will be given with a right good will.

e. r. Bacon Of the. Commercial-Boost
ers' club elected as second vice-presi-
dent.
The league has restricted the mem
bership of the organization to one
commercial club from each city. This
was done under a storm of protests
from prominent clubs of Ogden and
Salt Lake. but the point was adhered
to, and now all are together in seeing
the purposes of the league carried
out.
The name of the organization is the
Utah Development League and its
purpose is to promote the CONNER
cial and economic welfare of Utah.
to encourage the cultivation of the
soil, the development of its natural
resources, immigration. the invest
ment of capital, the location of manu-
facturies and industries and such
other enterprises as will advance the
material welfare of the state"
Such a plan will meet with the
hearty approval of every man in Utah
who desires to see the state grow as
1t should do. 1t has the power to do
a mighty work for the state through
the advertising which 1t can carry
on To do this advertising it proposes
to raise fund contributed to by the
members of every club that takes up
with the league. For instance, il the
local Commercial. Boosters club be.
comes a member, each member of
the club will pay one dollar year
as dues to the league. This will par

purposes.
That great good will come of an
organization of this nature is a fore.
gone conclusion. providing it adheres
closely to its policy and works un.
ceasingly, 1t will be able, one thing
we can all be thankful for, to put
Utah in proper light before the
country. Utah's great resources which
have been clouded by the unwarrant.
ed attacks made by certain people up
on the dominant people of the state,
can now be clearly revealed by a
body of men like we have in the
membership Of the new league. We
wish 1t all sorts of success in the
new venture that means everything
to the state. ~ 81.

Thinning Apples.
S. S. BAILEY

1t is time that trees that are hcav-
lily loaded with fruit were thinned.
There are several reasons for thin
ming, the following being the prin-
cipal ones: First, maintaining the
vigor of the trees; second, securing
annual crops instead of alternate;
third, to be able to produce fruit OF
maximum size, color and quality.
For thinning purposes, apples may
be divided in two classes, viz:
Those such as the Winesap and
Missouri Pippin, which, when the
tree is loaded do not attain sufficient
size for the better grade of pack; and
those like the Ben Davis type which
generally attain sufficient size. but
often so weaken the vitality OF the
tree as to cause it to become a "shy
bearer" the next year. With proper
pruning and thinning these difficult
ties can be overcome to a large ex-
tent We believe that props have no
place in the orchard and are only a
sign OF very poor orchard manage
ment.
Study each tree Individually and
thin SO that at picking time the tree
will hold up well under a load OF uni
form, good sized and well colored
apples. Apples of the Winesap type
should be thinned to distance OF
from nine to ten inches. Fruit of
larger growing type could be left
little closer.
In thinning, take off all terminal
apples on long. slender branches and
break all doubles. Take off all
wormy apples and all those that are
much smaller than the average. Take
off all limb bruised or badly frost
marked apples. and also those that
are likely to become limb bruised as
they grow in size. Leave the apples
in singles and in such position that
they can have the best chance to
grow in size, color and uniformity,
and be as free as possible from blem-
ish. X. s. HERRICK,
