FRUIT.

fHOll.
The most attractive feature and profitable pro-
duction OF Delta county is the quality and quaint
ity of fruit produced.
Here every summer and autumn can be seen
thousa nds upon thousands Of trees and vines
laden with fruits Of almost every variety grown
in the temperate zone and of use to man, includ
ing apples. grapes, peaches, pears, quinces,
aprieots, plums. nectarines, raspberries, black
berries, currnnts, gooseberries. and all ofa flavor
and soundness unequaled anywhere in America.
As there at present but about 200 acres bear
ing fruit exclusively. which yields an aggregate
Of about 900 go pounds annually. the possibii-
ties In this direction are almost beyond calcula-
tion.
The successful growing Of fruit In Delta county
is no longer all experiment. The past has fully
demonstrated the fact that 1t Is uneIua!cd In
quality. quantity and flavor. In symmetry. sound
ness and beauty, no section east of the great
Continental Divide can compare with 1t. The
trees are Of a rapid growth hardly and nnely
shaped. and yield bountf,illy.
Small fruits. such Us raspberrics, backbeIrles.
Strawberries etc. grow to an immense size also
currants and grapes OF all varieties-whiln thelr
beauty and flavor are Of o high standard and in
ferior to none.
The early maturity Of fruit trees-ali varities
Is simply beyont description. II IL now only
about nine years since the first fruit trees were
planted in Delta county (and thoy in the foot
prints Of the Indans) yet such has been the rapid
ity Of their growth. that to-day, the. lead the
state In bearing and excellence. The fact was
fully established by the awarding Of prizes and
premiums at the Fair held at hIontrose, Montross
county. on September 24th to 27tl. 1880. Also At

The French would be wise if they did
not covet the possessions Of the king
of Siam; for, if they manage to get
them, they will probably cost good
deal more than they bring in. But
this matter that hardly concerns us,
says Labouchere in London Truth.
Our jingoes are, of course, on the war
path and tell us that Siam is the
'.Hinterland" to Burmah, and that
consequently we have right to pre-
vent anyone laying hands on it. am
glad that Lord Rosebcry has thrown
cold water on this startling doctrine,
which in the end would enable us to
claim the entire globe. Lower Burmah
is near India, SO we took it. This, it
would seem, gave us right 20 take

other European power were to build up
an ever increasing empire in this
''house that Jack built" fashion.
In many ways the United States has

for one, do not hesitate to say that

of a state pursuing the even current of
its way, without that meddling in the
affairs of other states which has been
the bane of European powers. Here we
have a country, rich, powerful, indus
trial and commercial, yet never troub-
ling itself with what happens outside
its frontiers, or annexing foreign lands
on the plea of philanthropy, or on
the ground that in some centuries
:ts area will be too small for its pop
u1ation, or in order to create markets
for its goods And what is the result?
No one dreams of attacking the United
States or Of picking quarrel with it.
The lesson to be learnt is, that
state should rest satisfied with pronot-
ing the well being of her own citizens,
and leave it to other states to promote
the well being of theirs. Can anyone
conceive the United States annexing
jungles in the center of Africa, in the
wild expectation that the Inhabitants
of the jungles will be civilized and
then cover their nakedness with Amer
lean cotton goods and cook their food

GERMAN ARMY DISCIPLINE.
Soldiers Must Above All Have Emcient
Rifles and Avoid Chafed Feet.

Soldiers Must Above All Have Emcient
Rifles and Avoid Chafed Feet.
There are two things which the Ger
man officer does not and caxnot con-
done-one is the Kon-eficiency of the
soldiers rifle, the other chafed feet.
If either of these two takes place on
the march or during the maneuvers the
soldier is Immediately punished with
Arrest, and is not allowed to offer any
excuse. says writer in Harpcr's Maga-
zine.
During the different maneuvers of
German army corps that have at
tended, I cannot recall handful of
footsore men in the course of days
work, and yet at all these field opera
tions forced marches are feature in
order to test the endurance of officers
and men. The secret Of this uniform
excellence, Us regards marching pow
ers, lies in the training which these
fnen receive. When they enter their
company as recruits in October the
first thing that is impressed upon their
minds is the Importance Of the shoe
and the musket, No pains are spared
in giving the men at the start comfort
able foot-gear, and they are expected

est as if it were a chronometer. In the
spring following, when the snow is off
the ground, marches are undertaken,
and these are regulated as carefully as
are the strokes and the courses of the
college crew under the hands of the
trainer. Each day the men march half
mile or SO farther than the day be-
fore; each day the speed they are able
to maintain is carefully noted; in fact,
the record of company's marching
from day to day, until late in the sum
mer, when they move into the open
country, is kept as minutely as if it
were single picked company training
for a match or Competitive drill. The
German soldier is educated and trained
for the purpose of fighting, and to have
q man fall ont before he reaches the
fire line is looked upon as quite as
much disaster as if he had been shot
and wounded by the enemy. The art
of war. as practiced in Germany, is
very much the art of '.getting there"
and it is the general who posts him
self most advantageous,y at the critical
moment that may be assumed to have

A RESULT OF BAD PlLOTAGk
LAWS.

Honolulu is beginning to get bad
reputation as port In trying to
enter its harbor few weeks ago the
Oriental liner China went on the reef,
and now the Vancouver steamship
Miowera has grounded there and may
have been seriously damaged The
Mace where the accidents occurred has
been the scene of other marine casu-
alties, though with proper piOotoge 1t is
one easily avoided by incoming vessels
at night.
While it is perhaps fact that the
captain of the Miowera ventured toe
close to the shore in his search for a
pilot, it is also true that in any other
country he would have been able to
secure one when or before bis vessel
had come within sight of land. In
Europe and the United States pllotage
is a matter of fees and competition;
here it is matter Of salary. In the
one case pilots are led to scour the
ocean for Job; in the other they are
content to save themselves as much
trouble as they can, and vessels have to
sail around in the dark waiting their
pleasure to 60 aboard. Our Honolulu
pilots take turns in doing duty and do
not, as a rule, leave the harbor until
they are telephoned for. Sometimes,
70 save themselves trouble, they wait
until the vessel needing them is close
in; and captains knowing that they are
not likely to get assistance until they
bring their ships as near as possible to
the harbor are in danger of OVERRIDING
the thing, as Captain Stott did, and
running their craft upon the coral
rocks.
The remedy for this state of things
is obvious. The peculiar and excep-
tionai, not to say unwarrantabIe and
disastrous pilotage laws OF H'wail
ought to be changed on the lines
laid down by similar legislation abroad.
The result would be that pilots would
compete with each other for the profits
of the trade; and instead of our hav-
ing a pilot office filled with comfortable
mariners waiting for the lookouts tele'
phone to ring, We should see swift
sloops patrolling the horizon, ready to
race for the white speck Of royal or
the trail of smoke by day, or the NOV
ing side light by night.
Under the circumstances, we hope
the Provisional Legislature will
promptly adopt remedial policy, not
only to prevent future troubles of the
China and Miowera kind, but to fore
stall the action of the underwriters in
piling up the insurance on Honolulu
bound vessels,
