4 Coon INVESTMENT We noticed
III re- ;cEt aumber OF an Eastern acri-
cultural journal An item stating that an
old man living several miles from Balti
more. who, twenty years ago took the
trouble TO plant a fow acres Of land in
his possession tn fruit trees, realized
last fall $4,000 from the fruit. This
proves 70 have been good investment.
and now insures the old gentleman
handsome yearly income. The same
Journal states that 1t is great pity
that other small farmers residing in
that locality hadn't followed his ex-
ample Of twenty years ago. Now
many OF these farmers are obliged t.
toll early and late 20 earn living from
their little patches of land. whereas
their more fortunate ncighbor cap
"iay back on his oars" and en-
Joy the fruits Of past labor.
Now we think it would be an excellent
idea for many Of the small farmers in
this Territory. and especially this por-
ton of it, TO follow the exaNpie Of The
old gentleman in question and cultivate
fruit trees more extensively 1t will
certainly prove TO be one of the hest
investments they can make. although,
1t may not prove to be immediately
profitable; but III years To come. like the
Baltimore farmer. they will enjoy The
fruits of their labor.

much difficulty that they succeeded ia
afousing the Chinese occupants. who

bat not until the fire was eNtiuguishei
and even then appeared quite ignorant
OF the danger they had been exposed
TO. These Chinese wash houses are q
nursery OF Tres and a source Of constant
danger. We remember one summer in
Stockton, California of tw.:ye fires
having broken out III that city and
nearly all Of them had their origin in
Chinese wash-houses. and several
proved quite destructive. The city
authorities found it necessary TO adopt
measures for the removal Of all Chinese
wash-houses from the business portion
of the city. During the past few
months three fires have broken out
here, and all of them originated in
these Chinese quarters. Fortunately
they were eNtinguished before any con-
siderable damage was done. In this
last instance had the fire not been dis
covered by passer-by III tine one or
more blocks of buildings, wo uld have
