THOUSANDS OF APPLE TREES

THOUSANDS OF APPLE TREES
During the next five years the
Burrell estate owning thousands Of
acres of land in all parts of the
country will set out some of the
largest apple orchards in the coun-
try. Confidence in the fertility of
the country and the profits offered
by fruit culture has led them to de
eide to transform a number OF their
large wheat farms into orchards.
The work will be begun this fall,
when under the direction of f, NJ,
Crofort 5000 apple trees will be set
out on Burrell ranch No. 6 near
Garfield. Next year from 5000 to
10000 more trees will be added,
and in 1898 the rest of the quarter
section comprising the place will be
planted. Mr. Crofort is already on
the ground and will begin this sea
sons work at once. The trees for
this falls planting have been or
dered. Contracts have been let for
furnishing the trees for 1897 and
'98, and contract is pending for
trees for planting in 1899.
The lands near Garfield are
selected to begin upon because they
possess in addition to being the
equal of the other lands Of the
county the advantage of being near
two lines ofraiIroads. Other lands
will be planted around Garfield and
near Pullman, and perhaps in 9th
er parts of the county. The trees !
ordered are mostly late varieties
chosen because the market for them
is wider and lasts Ionger.-Colfax
Gazette.

For the busy, short of spare-time in.
dividual who does not want 10 waste
any time on other than his legitimate
business, advertisements are God

" lived-upto ads which the Combina-
ton Drug Store invites your attention
from time to time. For instance their
tastely (Which tastes like more) and
invigorating soda water and milk
shakes, which is a cold fact-when the
thermometer is hot fact, and is
acknowledged as facts by the thirsty
wayfarer. Their little ads of fine
quality and large variety of cigars,
cigarettes, chewing and smoking to-
bacco are slurs on the doubtful, but
compliments to the drop-in man, who
shows fine sense of taste, and the
fact that he has been well raised, con-
seguently appreciates good quality,
courteous services and quick stop of
wants. Five gross lots of Diamond
dyes is what they order at one time
that's why you can get any color YOU
want. Drugs are ordered once, twice
and three times week-that's why
the prescriptions they compound for
you bring about the expected results
so quickly. Moth balls that destroy
moth and save clothing, is what they
sell. As jolly as larks, they remain

OCEAN CITY.

For many years past there has been
talk of an iron OF steel pier for this
place, projecting out into the ocean,
and an engineer from New York was
here last week with view to estimat-
ing cost of the same, to be completed
by July 18th. A New York syndi-
cate is backing the project, and we are
advised that prospects are favorable
for its erection. Should the pier he
built, it will prove a great attraction,
and will permit those who are timid
about going out fishing in the small
boats that dot the Ocean almost every
morning during the summer, to 90
out dry-footed as they can fish from
the end of the pier extending one hun
dred and fifty yards out in the ocean.
Monday evening terrific storm
played havoc here for about a half
hour. The wind blew at the rate OF
seventy miles an hour. The rain fell
in torrents, but before the downpour
came, the sand was driven in perfect
clouds before the gale, and was so cut
ting that it was impossible for pedes-
TRANS to face it on the board walks.
With nearly every very strong wind
there is more or less drifting of the fine
sand on this beautiful beach, hut it is
very rare that such sand storm is
experienced as that which preceded the
rain of last Monday. The violence of
the wind demolished the cottage which
Contractor Adkins is building for DIR.
Baggett, of Washington, ID. G. The
cottage was blown down from its
foundation. The brick smokestack of
the electric-light plant belonging to
the Sinepuxent Beach Company was
Frustrated. The west end of the Sea-
bright Hotel was stove in by the
terrific force of the gale, while a num-
Der of pleasure boats moored in Sine
puxent bay we're battered to pieces.
All the telegraph wires are down, both
those of the Western Union Line and
of the government lite-saving station.
The fury of the gale was felt far
inland. Some small houses at Berlin,
six miles from the coast, we're moved
on their foundations, but no serious
damage was done.
