feet adding immensely to its appearance
as well to the ease with which it can be
irrigated and worked.
Across the road from this tract Mr..
Standish has twenty-acre orchard
which was planted year ago this
spring. but as the trees did not do well,
he had them all taken up and replanted
this spring, replacing the dead ones with
good, healthy stock. Still farther east,
just under the main Garnet ditch. he
has seventeen acres of two-year old or
chard, which is doing very finely, and
will produce a small amount OF fruit
this year.
At the ranch OF o. T. Standish two
steam pumps are in operation to force
water from the ditch up onto some land
lying on an upper or second bench.
Here he has twenty acres set to fruit.
and is preparing to set twenty acres
more this fall. He has about two acres
OF old orchard. and is preparing to plant
three acres more near his residence this
spring.
E. R. Standish also has large amount
of land on this second bench which he
expects to set to trees within the next
two or three years. He resides at
Weatherford. Texas. and for some time
felt that he would hold his land here for
speculation. taking advantage of the i'm
provements made by his neighboIs to
| enhance their value, but he wisely con-
, cluded that this would be unfair. and is
proceeding to push developments on his
own account.
More such ranchmen would find a
hearty welcome here.

1000 ACRES OF ORCHARD
Will be Planted in Delta County this Season,
ard this is Only the Beginning.

Very few people. even among those
who are familiar with the progress Of or
chard planting and fruit growing in this
locality. are aware of the extent to
which the planting Of fruit trees is being
carried in Delta county this spring.
That the chief industry of the county is
to be the growing Of fruit. principally in
the line of winter apples, now admits Of
no doubt.
Last year there we're delivered at the
Delta depot for planting about 40 car
loads of fruit trees, aside from those
grown in the home nurseries. This sea-
son SO far, the Utah Nursery Co. have
shipped in fifteen cars. Stark Bros ten
cars. YounGers 4 Co. six cars, Grand
Valley Nursery Co. five cars. Geo. S.
Stephan five cars. and other tree grow
ers four cars; total OF 40 cars. with
other consignments yet to come.
The trees so far received will set about
5,00O acres of ground. and it is safe to
say that the Coburn nurseries, on the
North Fork. and Sharp & Rose. at Mont
rose. have sold sufficient here to plant at
least 2.0o0 acres more.
Within five years Delta county will be
one vast orchard. and every acre Of her
available fruit land will be worth at least
800.

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT,

DIES MONIES, April 90, 1904 patent
has been allowed to William Britton,
of Boone, for a diaphragm for locomo-
tive boilers, simple and durable
device placed in locomotive cylinder
in advance of the boiler sheet by which
the heat is retained within the fiues
just long enough to radiate maximum
of heat therefrom without interfering
with the draft. 1t also prevents live
sparks from escaping through the stack
and ashes from gathering in the lower
fues. Two of the five claims allowed
were won on appeal to the board of
eXaminers-in-chief. Five United States
patents were issued to Iowa inventors
last week as follows: ToA. w. Haines,
of Des Moines, for a sectional wagon
box; to A. Kile, of Mount Auburn, for
wire-splicing clamp; to G. w. Lake
and c. II. Rastede, of Nor ticello, for a

ARRESTED In CHURCH
WILLIAM NEWMAN CHARGED
WITH MRS. DUGAN'S MURDER.
Evidence Against Him Thought to Be
Very Strong-Catbolic Societies to Be
Consolidated - General News of the
Northwest.

Fort Wayne, Ind, April 30-William
Newman, railroad brakeman, was ar
rested in the First Baptist church yes
terday afternoon on the charge of muir
dering the woman whose funeral was
being held.
Mrs. Savanna Dugan, aged SO years,
was found dead at her home, No. so
Chicago street, this city, last Wednes-
day night. Coroner Harrod thought
the woman had died of heart failure A
post-mortem examination revealed the
startling fact that her neck had been
broken. Then those who handled the
remains told of marks of violence on
the neck, as if Mrs. Dugan had been
choked by strong hands.
Mrs. Dugan kept boarding house
and Newman was one of her poarders.
He was the person who found the wom-
an dead and reported to her daughter,
Miss Lizzie Dugan, that her mother was
lying on bed upstairs dying. The
terrified girl found on reaching the
room that her mother was dead. In
making her statement to Police Super
intendent Ligget and Deputy Prosecut-
ing Attorney Ryan Lizzie Dugan, who
is 16 years old, said she heard Newman
go out twice and return each time to
the upper rooms, where her mother was
that fatal night. 1t is evident there was
a quarrel, and the case is mysterious
as no motive is known for numbering
the woman. Her husband is alive, but
has not been living with her. Other
persons are to be arrested. The arrest
in the crowded church caused a pro-
found sensation.

To Work for Silver in Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia, April 30.-The section
of the Democratic conference this week
in declaring against the free coinage of
silver does not end the matter. The
silver element is dissatisfied and is
making arrangements to call a confer
ence of silver Democrats alone to meet
here early in May. The object will be
to make arrangements for carrying the
county convention so as to sweep the
state convention in favor of silver; also
to place the state organization of the
party in the hands of new mem
sound silver Democrats.
