 J. B. Bettler, county fruit inspector, and J. N. Armstrong, are gathering sta tistics concerning the orchards of the valley.

 More than fifty voters were registered yesterday bringing the list to 6l2 an ex- cess of ffty-two over the registration of last year. There are two more days in which to register so that it is possible that that the list will reach $50.

 The secrecy thrown about the caucus of Democratic delegates on Wednesday night is mystifying. It is known only that ifteeen of the twenty-eight dele gates attended and that three went away early Tn the performance. It is known also that invitations to the meeting were not generally extended among the delegation so that the first intimation some of the delegates had of the affairs was from THE REPUBLICAN yesterday morning. The only thing said to have been definitely agreed upon by the twelve delegates was to support J. D. Reed for councilman from the Fourth ward.
