Contrary to the general belief outside Mormonlsm the paying of tithing Is not compulsory. A man can be a Mormon and not surrender a tenth of his earnings for the "upbuilding of the kingdom of God, but It he does not pay his tithing he does not come In for any of the "blessings and privileges," Ho cannot bo married In the mysterious great temple; he cannot enjoy the run fellowship in the cliruch he Is somewhat of an outsider. Conse quently the majority pay their tlth Ing. Those who do not are looked upon as being on the road to aposta cy. From figures recently given by the Mormon church, this organiza tion numbers 317,500 possible tithe payers. Roughly estimated the mem bership of the church in the various Btates Is as follows: Utah 200,01,0, Idaho 40,000, Arizona 8,000, Wyom ing G.000, Colorado 3,000, Old Mexi co, 2,500, Oregon 1,00,1, Canada 4,000. 'New Mexico GOO, Nevada 1,500, Mon jtana 1.-000, foreign countries 5,000. j For the sake of arriving at some : idea of the Income of the Mormon church from this source It would be a conservative estimate to say that the average per capita for 12 months would be $10 per head, or $3,175,000 lor the entire churcn. That Is as near as any one can get to It. None but Bishop Preston, who has charge of the tithing re ceipts, and the first presidency and twelve apostles know Just what the Income of the church Is. No statement Is ever given to the faithful. The Mormon pays his tithing, and that ends It. What be comes of the money Is known to but few. The lormon church pays practically no salaries to any of its ministers. The assertions made by some writers that president Joseph Smith gets an annual allowance from the church funds of $50,000 Is entirely without foundatlgj). He does not evtfn get $6,000. Ho and the apostles receive a salary from the fact that they devote all their time and at tention to the work of the church. The son of one of the leading apos ties Is the authority for the state ment that the apostles get the prince ly salary of no less than $2,500 a year, while some ot the bishops get $500 a year. All the woath of the church rough ly estimated, is placed at $50,000,000 nnd is under the control of President Joseph F. Smith as trustee for the church. At every conference of the saints he Is sustained In this posi tion by the vote of the people. They ' linvn Imnllplt trilRt In tlinlr lnnilnr and never ask for an account of his stewardship. Some have done so, but their curiosity was squelched. The policy of tho Mormon church from the beginning has been "Homo Industries," build up Institutions that will give work for our own people. Hence It Is that the Mormon church Is In business on a large scale. The various leading Industries of , tho state of Utah, with perhaps the (exception of that of mining, are practically owned and operated by the Mormon church. They are Incor porated and on tho board of directors are to bo found tho names of apos tles and church dignitaries, Millions of dollars are Invested In Utah and Idaho In sugar factories. The Utah Sugar Company has as its president Joseph F. Smith. Again the church has the control of the street car, electric light and power privileges In Salt Lake, a corporation that represents nearly $10,000,000. Then It owns and operates a railroad and a big pleasuro resort, represent ing nearly $500,000. The big Z. C. M. I. (Zlon's Co-operative Mercantile Institution), with Its huge uepart ii.ent store and wholesale business together with branches throughout Utah and Idaho, is practically owned by the church, to say nothing of a huge shoe and overall factory, wool en mills, kitting factory, three banks. Implement houses, flocks nnd herds, ranches and meeting houses, nmong which the big Salt iaKe temple alone represents over $3,500,000. MONEY IN USELESS FENCES. DOCTOR J.

A man who has given the subject some attention, estimates that there Is fully 100 miles of fences of all kinds, from the costly Iron and stone fence to the cheap board fence In the city limits of Pendleton. This fenc ing Is estimated to cost an average of $1,500 per mile, which would bo a moderate guess, owing to the great amount of costly fencing In the resi dence districts. This would be a total of $150,000 Invested In absolutely useless ma terial, If the laws regulating stock were enforced as they should be. STOCK LOSSES VERY LIGHT. Two Per Cent Loss of Cattle In Southern Umatilla County, J. Davis, tho pioneer farmer and stockman from Willow Springs, near Rldgo, has been In tho city for a couple of days, after having return ed from Portland, where ho tmrclins ed a stock of goods for his now sloro at his farm. Mr. Davis has been a close observ er of the stock conditions In that district during tho pnst winter, nnd estimates tho loss of cnttlo In southern Umatilla county, nt3 per cent. Foed wns plentiful, but some stock started In the winter very poor and during tho rough weather Just before tho opening of spring, n few bend of cattlo on tho breakH of tho river died, but tho loss was very light Further south In Grant county ho says tho loss Is estimated at from CJ to S per cent, but no greater. If any thing even less than this, Cattle nro In fine condition now and lamb lng Is now In progress among the largo herds of sheep. WEATHER REPORT.
