ATTACHED to the declar alton and, judging
from the manner in which others are

There is great unanmity OF feeling
on the subject of putting the club in good

about the importance Of this commercial
body as factor in the growth and devel-

action among the farmers, together with
work OF de ;elopment pursued with a
spirit OF energy and assiduity, will soon
render this section famous in horticut-

the producer. A meeting has been
called for = o'clock on the al ernoon of the

They need protection. In no way can
they obtain it so well. San Jose scale ex-
lists in this valley Indeed, we are
assured that this destructive little pest

task to destroy it. Fruit-raisers must act
in concert and intelligently in order to
succeed against it. This is cited simply
as an instance in which organized effort
is absolutely necessary. The more rapid
the development of their resources in the
proper direction the earlier will come that
degree OF strength as community at a
time when they most need it. They de-
sire cheaper freight rates. They want to
cultivate only the best varieties OF fruits
They desire knowledge of the best meth
DDS of profitable fruit culture and when

products. Finally they will soon need a
fruit cannery here. Organization intelli-
gently controlled is what they must have

The concert to be given on Wednesday
evening next at Mason's opera house by
the Ladies' Quartet is being awaited
with pronounced degree of expectancy
by the music-loying public. That it will

the character of the programme, and
when it is known that the concert is being
given for the benefit of the public library

enchanting music (where may such an
anomaly be found?) will not hesitate to
purchase ticket. Mason's opera house
