Continuing, he said: "Among these was Bishop Sharp, a director of the Cnion Pacific railroad, and an old man, who accepted the terms and was promptly removed, that being understood to be the alicy of the church, where the doctrine of the church waa not upheld by members. The witness told of a visit to the prisons by Caleb IV.- West and his offer to intercede fin- pardons for the prisons by Caleb W. West and his history of the church between 1885 and 1890 was given by Mr. Critchlow, including the circulation of a story that plural marriages had been given up entirely and that unlaw ful cohabitation waa on the wane, lie covered the passage of all acta affecting polygamy or Mormonism. Including the representations made to Congressional committees which visited the territory prior to the admission of I'tah as a atate. The purpose of hla statement was to show that the Mormons continued to create the sentiment that the laws were being obeyed, but in secret bad practiced polygamy and tbat the church waa Irreconriliahle to new conditions and Its members were conspiring to evade tbe law. Mr. Critchlow was interrupted very little and told hia atory concisely. He said that In the first state legislature in 1886, when he sat aa a member, there was a disposition to send all legislation to the Mormon iurvh to aee if It were proper to enact, it. In relation to the Moses Thatcher incident, M r. Critchlow said a letter bad been sent out which had the purpose of dividing the people aa equally as possible between Republicans and Democrats so as to maintain a reserve which could be swung either way in the Interest of the church. The church afterward denied this letter, said Mr. Critchlow, but Moses Thatcher continued working in the interest of tbe Democratic party, and in the autumn of 1896 carried on an active campaign for election to the United States Senate by tbe succeeding legislature. Thla legislation was In conflict with the members of hia quorum of apostles, and be was finally dropped. U waa taken up as a church matter and, said Mr. Critchlow, editorials In the Deseret News declared that the church had a right to Interest Itself in tbe election! Mr. for the United States Senate. Thatcher continued in the field up to the final result of the contest, which ended In tbe election of Joseph L. Rawlins aa Senator. He said it waa well known that the apoeilea were working against Thatcher, their object being to prevent a direct blow at the people that the quorum of apostles control In their action of one of their members. The Mormons were responsible for the election of Rawlins. Thatrher was charged with being out of harmony with hia quorum and not obeying the will of the president and apostle in regard to tbe teaching polltica. In answer to a question as to what happened to Mr. Thatcher aa a result of hia disobedience, Mr. Critchlow said a declaration of principles was to Mr. Thatcher for hla signature, but he refused to sign. In the succeeding year he waa summoned before a council and tried and acknowledged that he had been wrong and fellowretained hla he good ship, hut la not. now an apostle and has not been since the episode. Mr. Thatcher was compelled to subscribe to a statement' that he waa wholly In the wrong, and, in fact, said the witness. hla spirit waa broken completely by hla conflict with the church. In response to an Inquiry Jn regard to Mr. Thatcher running for the Senate on a platform not In harmoy with the rhurch, Mr. Critchlow spoke of the Influence of the apostles, giving aa an illustration that the apostles gave out the Instruction that it la the will of the Lord that you vote the Republican ticket thla time." Mr. Critchlow said the Democrats protested against the interference by the church in such a manner. Senator MeComas asked Mr. Critchlow if he would be able to complete tbe history to the time of the election of Mr. Smoot to thq Senate. The witness said he might give some salient features, but that he waa not engaged in politics.

(Butte In the creation of forest reserves It frequently happens that small parka or open valleys in the mountain are included, and that these are desired by individuals for atock ranches, or tnr tutting wild bay, or for similar agricultural purposes. TTbo argument ia made thal such agricultural lands bo should excluded from the forest rHHervn and that the boundaries should lie drawn along the narrow valleys extending up into the mountains. As a general proposition, it Is agreed that agricultural lands should lie excluded from forest reserves, but there is a side to the question which Is frequently overlooked by those advocating the exclusion of such lands. As a ruin, these areas are at high altitudes and are useful mainly for producing wild hay. Tha little mountain streams ran readily be dU verted upon three lauds, the water spread over the surface, and forage crops obtained. Some of the water thus applied finally returns to the stream by percolation, and serves to maintain the summer flow, but from one-ha- lf to of It is lost by evaporation, and ihe little tributaries which swell the mein stream are practically nit off. In case of a river whose flow is entirely appropriated for the use of lands in the lower valleys, this results in very serious losses. For every acre of wild hay Irrigated in the mountains, there is lost tbe higher priced prodtu-- t of an acre of far belter land In the valley. This condition la being recognized, and leas weight is given to the cry of those who would exclude nil agricultural lands from the forest reserves.. The streams of the arid region have far greater value in the development of the low lying lands la tha broad valleys at the foot of the mountains, and their waters should be conserved in every possible way, not merely to protect their prior rights, but because such lands have greater economic value to the whole rountry. Tbe officers in charge of the designation of boundaries of forest reserve must bear In mind these conditions and give lesa heed to the demands for exclusion of these high agricultural lands. If by so doing they will Jeopardize the rights and needs of the better lands at the foot of the mount sins.

Sole Agents Here Prices $600 and $7.00 THE 0 the sui TOGGERY CSS330C30 L Tho New Bedford Merrury tells the atory of Mr, Fox's special mission to Russia thirty-seveyears ago. Russia had sent us a message of sympathy. In a dispatch to the Russian minister at Washington, dated at St. Peter, burg, July 10, IMil, Irlnre tiortchak-off- . vice rhancellor and minister o foreign affairs, bade M. de Stoekel make known to the federal government the deep Interest with which imr august, master was observing the development of a crisis whlrh pula in question the prosperity and even the Tho disexistence of the Union. patch added: If within the limit of your friendly relations your language and your counsels may contribute to this result (reconciliation), you will respond, sir, to the Intentions of bis majesty the emperor. In devoting to this the personal Influence which you may have been able to acqulra during your long residence In Washington, and the consideration which belongs to your character, as the representative of a sovereign animated by the most friendly sentiment toward the American Union. This Union Is not simply In our eyes on element essential to tbe universal polltlral equilibrium, ft constitutes, besides, a nation to which our august master and all Russia have pledged the most friendly Interest; for the two countries, placed at the extremities of the two worlds, both in the ascending r period of their development, apK-acalled to a natural community of Interests and ofajtympaihlen of which they have already given mutual proofs to each other. But Russian sympathy In that crisis was not confined to words The Emperor sent a fleet to New York and one to San Francisco, and Prince Instructed the Russian minister at Washington, Mr. Stoeckel, to tell Secretary Seward that be was sending the fleet over for no unfriendly purpose. The fleet came end stayed a summer and wlster and the general Impression waa that, while Its help would probably not be needed, it would be given If it were seeded. The Los Angeles Times quotes Abraham Lincoln to show hew the Russian service at that time was regarded. President Lincoln said to Seward and Sumner: Gentlemen, thla is one of the happiest conferences we live had during these awful years. In the dark days of the past there has been one bright spot always shining out ot tbe sky of our foreign relations. We three know better than anybody rise tbe st niggles we've made the men we've sent, and the money weve spent to keep European nations from Interfering in our contest; Weve made these efforts in uf pretty much every important court St. Europe, excejit one. and that U Petersburg. To that court we have never sent n man,, sod on Russia lave n Gort-chako- ff never spent a dollar. Hho has been our steadfast friend from tho beginning. Now, It has occurred to me tliai we three, knowing these things, ought to have a common understanding thal whoever lives to sen tho whole country reunited and again prosperous ought to do what wo can tc have our government iierfornt soran great national act to show to Russia and tlo whole world that this government Is not. ungrateful. In 1866 tbe life of the Russian Emperor was saved from the murderous attack of a madman and Congress concluded to show thn gratitude of this country to Alexander. So It was resolved lo send a special envoy in a naval vessel lo carry the message and Mr. F'nx, the assistant secretary of the navy, was selected for the inUslou. The double-turre- t ed monitor Mlsntono-mo- h was assigned to his semcc, with thn Augusta and the Asliiielut, wooden men os convoys. Never before was surh a resolution voted or such a mission sent in siirh an unexampled manner.

If nations require Russian speaker: friends and must lean toward each other like Individuals, here are people, one race, one language and a unit in their feelings of friendship for Ihe United Ktetes. Tbe Chicago Chronicle calls attention to the fact that we are also Indebted to Russia for the settlement of tho Alabama question. Ai the end of war England was the FYanno-Prussianotified by Russia that Ihe clause in the treaty of Paris limiting Russias power In the Block Sea was abrogated. It was for this that tbe Crimean war had been fought and tbe note was, practically, a challenge to another conflict The Chronicle soys: Thun placed between a hostile Russia on one side and a hostile America on the other. Great Britain took immediate action to placate American sentiment. A commission was appointed to decide the Alabama question, which, as all know, resulted in the award that upheld the principle for which Amer-te- a waa contending, however unsatisfactory it may have been in tie matter of dollars and cents. The eagerness of Great Britain to repair the injustice was shown by the fact tbat the British commission was named and on its way to Washington before tbe fact was known at the American legation In London, according lo a historian of that period.
