Upper colunsaa Quartz Lands

There are large deposits Of gold and silver

Profits Of Fruit Raising.

As .a;lroai connecsion with the East Is
nearing completion, II would be well Tor our
farmers to so shape the management at their
t.rrns az to make the most Of the epportn H.
ties tlat will soon be presented for their
consideration. Tie r,ising of fruit Is an IN
iustry that is rsmuneratiye in the State OF
New York, ye. in point Of favor IT does rot
come I'D to the Washington Territory stand
ard. Fruit culture is destined to become
one OF the most important Industries "i
Eastern Washington. and it Is time Ios tor
our orehariists to prepare fer the new order
OF things that the completion Of the railroad
VIII open Up. The past dozen years have
demonstrated the fact that Eastern Wash
inston is peculiarly adapted to the growth
Of the re,y best qualities OF apples pears,
peaches and plums. and Is only ekcsiled IN
grape culture by California Large quant'-
lies OF apples are shipped yearly frcm New
York to foreign markets, where they have
ready safe. In addition to the above We
should have primes, which are remarkably
productive here. Dried fruits must IN time
engage the attention OF orchardists. as
dried plums and prunes can be sold IN large
quantities at 30 cents per pound IN New
York. Now it is for those who are nov IN
CT NAV enter into fruit-raising and drying
hereafter TO consider whether such prices
would justify their preparation IN that way
for distant market. California has been
shipping largely Of pears and grapes to Mis-
sour. all Of which had ready sale at re-
muucratire prices California has 70 ad-
vantage over this country as TO pear culture,
and as to apples there is no comparison be-
tween them. These hints are offered TO set
the people here to thinking, that they may
20 regulate their productions as to make the
most out Of the chances that will, IN time,
be presented to them for ace 'ptsnce or re-
jeetioa, as they may elect. There Is fu-
ture for our orchardtsts that deserves their
most careful consideration to neglect 1t Is
to ignore fruitful source t proht. Waia
Waila fsuit meets with ready sale, even in
Montana, bat that demand OF itself wonld be
too limited to justify any considerable pre-
psr.ti5n, bu; the trade must inevitably ex-
panl TO large proportions when once the e1-
celirilc. Of cur irait becomes knosn in for
eisn markets. Our nGrserymen inform US
that the demand for all kinds of fruit trees
has never been anything like equal tn that OF
the last two years. Good cultivation, With
proper care. is what il needed after the
trees are planted. In tive years time, with
reasonable freights, the shipping ct fruit

STRANGE II TRUE-Tne Columbia State
Journal publishes very strange account OF
the healing up of wound on the body of
Cummins, the Inflated victim Of the New
York bar murder tina. would cause US to
think it was sensational did We Ios know
that our sober ong ectemporary was not
given to that style Of journalism. This is
the story: Over four months from the time
of the interment, it WIS found necessary to
raise the ioiy and make further examina-
t,on in order to lind = mi, sing link in the
evideuce pointing 10 the conviction ct the
person committing the terrible deed. This
was done on the , / day of November. 1882,
IL. the presence OF the corcner, Sheriff VIII
son, Of Garfield county, Col J. L. Shaw, de-
tective, ard other respectable men. Search
was made for the wound atose referred to,
but it was not 10 be found it had healed so
completely that lit trace OF it, IOt even a
scar, was visible We asked the coroner,
from whom this information 9as CLEANED ii
it We're not possible that the flesh had been
pressed together so tightly that the wound
appeared to be healed lie answered In the
negative aud stated that he not only pushed
on the flesh and tried to pu,h itApaIt but
that he serap.d it with knife, and yet no
sign of it coull be discovered. So wonder
full AM impossible does this seem that We
would not give it the least credence were It
not vouched for by men whom We know to
be responsible. IL is traly cas-, Ter seien-
fists. Is it possible that life remained IN
the iuanimate form after it Was supposed to
be dead Ii SO, now long did it remain? 1t
must have taken a wound Of such size some
time to heal under the best Of circumstances
The coroner states that Cumnins at the tune
of his death Was in perfect Leiith and that
even when his 10 iy Was exhumei sansreae
had not progressed FAR, in fact lad not set IN
at all, except in The immediate v'cini'y Of
the Wounds.

4 SUGAR kFrISERY--That the nolth-
west cosss Is rapidly advancing is evident
from the fact that Claus Spreckles, the great
sugar rei:ner of S,a Francisco, is eontemplat-
inr an immense establishment in Portland,
to employ 2,O0O m-n. The Seattle Herald,
in the following article, skaws that there Is
more than talk: 1t is rently rrmOred
and generally believed to be true; in fact.
oar information comes from reliable source,
tIat On the first Of the year Just passed,
Claus Spreckies. the great sugar operator and
retiner OF the Bay City, becomes majority
s.ock-hol,ier IN what is known as the Matu
larh Manufacturing Company, whose works
are located in North S,attle. Tie cause
that has brought about such desirable re-
suit is az follows: Spreckles has ,onstiiu-
ted, to the writer's personal knowledge, the
entire patronage Of the company, the pro-
duet being shipped TO San Francisco, where
it was hauled to tine Mitalu.h Manuiactar-
ing Company's cooperage on Eighth street,
where the barrels were put together and
;hen transferred to the refinery where they
were put into use, tine refinery being only a
short dis ance from the corpsrase. Spreek-
les, who never misses business opportunity,
came 10 the conclusion that as long a. he
was supporting the barrel company, he might
as well own IT, and as the proprietors We're
anything hut satisfied with the way things
had been mana ,ed here. it was hot very hard
