Governor West Bitterly Opposed
to Her Admission.
BIS VIEWS lite SIBJFXT.
He Says It Would Be Ruinous to Give
the Territory Sovereign Bights
The Voice of the Peop'f.
Special to Ui JIkpald.J . ; . . , .
" AVASHiNGX'f Janr"0. C. C.
West, wlio was appointed governor
of Utah by President Cleveland,
arrived in Washington Snnday
night. He intends to appear be
fore the house eommittee on terri
tories Thursday to oppose the ad
iniHsion of Utah as a state. This
sentiment, he says, is shared by
nearly every Gentile in the terri
tory." West places his objections
on the broad ground that Mormons
are unfitted to exercise the lights of
citizenship.
Governor West said: "To give
these people sovereign rights as
proposed would be to place every
anti-Mormon in Utah completely
at their mercy. Under a territo
rial form of government we are pro
tected by congress and the execu
tive. Confer the the right of state
hood ii on Utah and the Moruioi.s
would frame a constitution and
i;tH so unjust and arbitrary in
their character that an outsider
could not live among them. Hence
i say that all not Mormons in the
territory, without regard to party,
oppose the proposition of state
hood." " IVhat do you propose as a sub
stitute?" "I favor leaving it a territory,
but so amending, the law as to
abridge the power of the church.
A territorial commission acting in
conjunction with the governor,
which would control all the ap

inisc exactly. Utah would enter

Here is a wheat experiment
which well illustrates the impor
tance oi keen sense and painstak
ing on the modern f'trm. Mr. Mir,
of Fr.ir.ce, is a farmer whose spe
cialty is wheat. He experimented
with some ot the new t ruck var
ieties, r.i.-J found that on his farm
tfiev ilil not turn ot hp well a ir
the locality tt t' tir origin. Ac-
.:orl:i:!v he onciudeu t test
S' le't'd seed from tlie wheats al
ready acei.iiiat;'ii in his neighbor
hood, licit; is the rcsuit of thi
virv common ene cxiicrimen
The land on which it was tried
u;iu i c'j ii intinurcil in tlie aim: in u
with superphosphate ia the ratio
it '200 pouuds per acre, and in tin
toilowicy spring with nitrate o!
soda at the rate of 130 per acre.
In the subsequent autumn. 2 1 '
acres were sown with uuselected
wheat, and 115 acres were town
with selected grains of the same
var'ety. The 2 1-5 acres yielded
GO 1-2 bushels ot wheat weighiDg
G4-17 pounds per bushel, equiva
lent to 24 l o bushels to the acre
The 11-4 acres town with selected
eed yielded 49 1-2 bushels weigh
ing 7SJ.15 pounds per bushel , or an
equivalent of 41 1-4 bushels to the
acre. At the current price of
wheat in his locality, Mr. Mir's
painstaking yielded bim an extra
income on the land sown with
selected seed at the rate of fifteen
dollars an acre, in rouud (lumbers
To e ' t is, Mr. Mir employed two
mcinods. One was the screening
of the grain, keeping for seed only
the kernels whict were too large
to pass the screen. The other was
the selection cl" the heaviest beads
of wheat from the stoutest stalks in
the field. Of these he threw away
the extremities, retaining for seed
only the perfected irraiPB in the
middle of the heads. It is need
less to add thai henceforth Mr,
Mir will uot concern himself so
much with "improved varieties of
wheat as with carelul attention to
the material already in hand.

The
.astonishing changes that
small proportions
of foreign tnet-
ter will produce in metals are not
necessarily ot small practical im
portance, as very slight impurities
in metals far certain purposes
might lead to serious consequences.
Robert Austin gives two striking
illustrations of this possibility
A small fraction of bismuth' in
copper will reduce the eleotrical
conductivity sufficiently to cause
any submarine cable made with it
.o -.become" commercial failure;
and the message-carrying power of
copper cables is said to hae
doubled 6ince the early days of
telegraphy on account ot the in
creased purity of the copper.
Pure gold has a breaking strain of
from sixteen to seventeen .nns to
the square inch; but when a1loyd
with but two-tenths of one per
cent, of lead, it will break with a
slight blow or under a trifling
strain.
A curious experiment consists in
taking a water flask or other wide
mtuthed bottle and placing a
small cork in the neck while hold
ing it in an horizontal position.
It wilf seem an easy matter to
blow the cork into the bottle.
The explanation is that the bottle
is already fuM of air, so that no
more can be blown into it; and the
only effect produced by the blow
ing is to compres9 the air already
inside When the pressure is re
moved, the air beinir elastic, ex
panels again, quickly, and in so do
ing, forces the cork out of the
neck, apparently in a reverse di
rection to the current from the
lungs of the exoennn n:er. The
neck of the boll.e mu-t be perfect
ly dry, or the cork will adhere to
ir. and intotf r" Aith the success

The event of the past week was
the appearance aud preaching of
Dwight L.Moody. He was greeted
by the largest audiences that have
ever assembled in Eugene. There
were over 1200 adults present in
the afternoon, by actual count, and
at night there must have beeh 300
more. His talk in the afternoon
was on the "Study ot the Bible."
during the delivery of which many
excellent things were said, and an
impetus given to the study of the
Bible, never known here before.
T ie singers from all the cboirwere
on tue platform, and the singing
was rendered effective by the as
sistance of a good orchestra. Mr.
Moody preached at night from the
text "Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall be also reap.'" This
truest of all true philosophy was
driven home to the hearts and
consciences ot all present in a mas
terly manner. Thirty persons
arose for prayers, and there is no
donbt if he could have staid, n
great revival would have been the
result.
