aldermanic nominee of the secret polit-

run if he is not Endorsed by the 6. 0. p.
On the other hand, the Republicans of
the ward are determined to keep him
out of the primaries. The new law is
very strict in this particular, and man
wne has accepted the code Of another

even the hardy fruits grown in the
Palouse country.
Millions of people will soon inhabit
these great agricultural and mining re-
gions, with no source of fruit supply so
convenient rs the Snake river orchards.
The extent of II market must also be
judged by the capacity Of the supply,
and iu this respect the fruit lands of
Snake river bear but small ratio in
proportion to the non-producing fruit
regions mentioned.
"A representative of the Riverside
Fruit Company recently visited the
various orchards between Riverside
and Riparia, a distance Of IS miles, for
the purpose of ascertaing the acreage of
orchards planted, and the amount of
available land for planting. There
was found to be 908 acres planted to
orchard of all kinds, including newly
planted and bearing trees. In vine
yard, 81 acres; planted to blackberries,
/, 8 acres. Number of acres susceptible
of hcing irrigated, including orchards
planted, 4,525 acres.
Owing to the difficulty and expense
In applying water to much of this
land, it will doubtless be years before it
is devoted to orchard purposes.
Beyond Riparia, there are no trans
portation facilities, and no prospect of
any in the future, consequently no de-
velopment Of the fruit industry in that
direction.
From the above 1t will be seen that
the desirable fruit lands of Snake river,
If compared with the agricultural
lands of the Pa!ouse country, would
not bear the proportion of a garden
spot to each quarter section without
taking into account the city of Spo-
kane with ITS 5000 or 10000 inhabi-
tanes, and the great mining region
beyond.
1t may be safely stated that there is
not between Lewiston and Riparia,
5 200 acres Of suitable land for vne-
yard. In California, for 1890, it was
estimated there was 10000 acres
planted to vineyards, with practically
an unlimited amount of land suscept-
ible Of being used for the same purpose.
These vineyards were valued at $500. 90
per acre, and If there is ten times as
much planted to vineyards alone In
California as the entire available peach
and grape lands of the state of WASH
ington and North Idaho, and yet val
! ued at $4,000 per acre, why ought not
such lands on Snake river be doubly
valuable?

The soil is fitting complement to
the climate, which renders irrigation
essential to success; being q sandy
loan, 1t is admirably adapted the pur-
pose. No analysis has been made to
determine its chemical constituents,
but the rock being parent to the soil,
and the soil here being formed from de
composed basalt, is of itself sufficient
evidence that 1t is rich in mineral IN:
gradients; and as further proof of this
fact it contains q preceptible trace OF
alkali. Speaking Of such soils, Prof.
f. w. Hilgard Of the University OF
California, SAYS they may be regarded

states ut contains salts highly impor-
tant to. vegetable nutriment, namely'
sulphate Of potash, phosphate of Soda
and very often nitrate of soda; all in
gradients of which the presence in
commercial fertilizers determines their
value, and which are of prime impor-
lance to plant growth"
MARKETS.
To the prospective fruit grower, the
question Of market is one only second
in importance to that Of production;
and in this respect we believe we can
satisfy investors that there is not a re.
gion in the United States where as
many varieties of fruit can be grown to
as high a degree of perfection as on
Snake river, with as good a present and
prospective market. There is not to-
day more prosperous region in all the
United States than the Palouse coun-
try. 1t is being checkered over with
railroads, thriving villages and towns
are springing up all over the country,
some of which will soon have assumed
the Importance of young aud prosper
Gus cities. Millions Of bushels of grain
were produced:the past season, and the
PalOuse country can justly boast of
being the greatest wheat producing re-
gion Of like extent In the world. The
train load after train load OF grain that
leaves every station, aud sidetrack on
the railroads, Is an advertisement for
the country that cannot be gainsaid,
and is causing it to be rapidly filled up
by well TO do immigrants. The coun-
try will soon contain o dense popula-
ton that win require a vast amount Of
fruit supply, and this must come
largely from Snake river.
The Palouse country Is not fruit
producing region TO any considerable
extent. Apples. plums and hardy
cherries are grown quite successfully In
the vicinity Of the timber; but the
more tender fruits, especially grapes
and peaches, are not grown; while the
country lying still further to the east,

CLIMATE.
In common with many other Sec
lions Of the Pacific coast, the topo-
graphy Of the country has here much
to do in modifying the climate. While
the difference of 1000 feet in the alti-
tude OF Snake river and the Palouse
country is sufficient to produce great
difference In the temperature Of the
two sections, yet 1t is doubtless true
that the high rocky hills have much to
do in rendering the climate much more
mild by not only warding off the cold
winds nom the north, but by absorb.
ing the heat Of the sun during the day
and giving It Off at night. Thus from
these causes combined, distance Of
three or four miles will bring q change

February wild flowers are blooming on
the hills. March brings warm days Of
sunshine and early vegetables. Al
though spring comes early, IL Is not
followed by the late killing frosts.
After residence Of nineteen years in
the country, the writer only remem-
bers one season In which the fruit was
killed BY late spring frost. The sum-
mers are long, clear, dry and warm,
perhaps It should be added hot; for
while there Is much delightful weather
during the summer season, yet there
are periods every summer when the
mercury will range from $50 to 1862 in
the shade. Those unaccustomed to the
climate complain Of the heat, while the
fruit grower smiles, remembering the
fact that 1t Is the long sunshiny days
that paints the color on the cheek of
