SPEAKING of the profits of the
fruit industry in this country re-
minds us that here on the Mesa is
an illustration of what may be done
in this direction. The Spragg and
Vernon forty acre orchard just west
OF town has a five acre plat of
peach trees that this year bear their
first regular crop and yet they av-
erage 80 pounds to the tree. The
fruit has been sold in the orchard
for one cent pound. This gives
Sl.5O per tree or $l62. per acre of
los trees If there is another in
dustry in the country that will
make a better showing we would
like to know what it is.
Mesa free press., 1896-10-30

LIZ man cannot make money
raising fruit at $3.50 to Sl75 per
acre, we are at a loss to know of
any industry that he can engage in
that would enable him to make
both ends meet. It is true that it
costs something to bring an orch
ard up to bearing, but after that
period with ordinarily fair prices
an orchard of standard fruits will
give a better return on the invest
ment than any other industry we
are aware of. To conduct an orch
ard successfully however, requires
a lot OF intelligent care and con-
slant attention. No man can make
success of fruit raising who runs
the business in slipshod manner.

Lincoln finally, but cast its first ballots
for Seward Mr.. Staples says if the chair
man of the California delegation had been
alert and quick enough to have caught the
spirit of the convention he could have
changed California in time to have gained
for the State the honor of securing Lin
coins nomination. He was little slow,
however. and Ohio wheeled into line, first
giving Mr.. Lincoln the number of votes
required. a delegation to a National Con-
ventiou ought never to be tied up with
Californians of the folly of pledging dele
gates in advance"
M. r. Higgins, Insurance Commissioner; /;
AL johnson, State Printer, and Samuel K.
Thornton, who happened to come IN when
Colonel Smedberg was relating the history
of Mr.. Lincoln's first nomination., ex-
pressed their opinion decidedly that Cali
fornia should positively instruct the dele
gates to the st. Louis convention to vote
for Mckinley.
DR.. Horatio Stebbins remarked that he
took sufficient interest in public affairs to
have an opinion on this subject. he SAID !:
The habit of instructing delegates to
Congress and conventions is locailsm.
Men should be sent to the National Con-
vention to do the best they can for the
country-for the country; and they should
be allowed to exercise their own judg-
ment."
George w. Beaver said: II am not in
favor of tying up our delegation with in
structions, but [ do believe that it is
proper for the State Convention at Sacra-
mento to indicate a preference for Nc
Kinley; but beyond the expression OF this
preference the delegates should not be
hampered in their choice"

rs SHE HY?NOTIZED ?
Strange Story Told by Mrs. William
Wright at the Receiving
HosnifaI

Mrs. Wright of 7471I Seventeenth street
accosted Policeman Eastman on Ninth
street yesterday afternoon and asked for
protection. She told him that she had
been in hypnotic state for long time
and that it was wearing her life away.
Her enemies had made up their minds to
kill her, and unless the spell was broken
she would be completely at their mercy.
Eastman took her to police headquarters
and he was sent with her to the Receiving
Hospital, where she repeated her tale to
DR.. Stice. She told the doctor that her
husband was also under the spell of the
hypnotlst, but he was affected in a differ
ent way. Last Sunday they were out at
the park and her husband was so much
under the influence that he could neither
see nor hear.
She blamed prominent physician for
hypnotizing her while she was under his
treatment over year ago. Since then he
had appeared to her disguised in various
ways and had attempted to get her to go
driving with him. Sometimes when he
met her on the street he would throw
kisses at her, which shocked her.
Her husband is carpenter for the Mar
ket-street Railway Company and she said
she had not seen him for two days. DIR.
Stice declined TO detain her. as there was
no warrant for her arrest, and she left the

Ex.Mayor Kinsey Talks of the
Stimulus to the Shingle
Trade.
Rise of the Wool and Dairying In.
terests-Half a Million Dollars
for a Railroad.

Among the recent arrivals here from
Humboldt County is ex-Mayor l.. T. Kin
sey OF Eureka, who is assistant cashier of
the Bank OF Eureka. Mr.. Kinsey has been
a resident of the solid Northern California
since 1857, or about his entire life. He has
been County Treasurer, and then was
elected County Clerk and finally Mayor.
The ex-Mayor says there is good deal
of interest in the forthcoming National
campaign. The majority of the people by
far want Republican elected President,
for they want protection for wool and
lumber alike. They want other things
protected also, and believe in it as an es-
sential quality of permanent success.
For this reason there are a good many
Mckinley men up there" he said, "but
Mr.. Allison has great many friends, and
would get heavy vote. The fact is, any
Republican nominated would easily carry
that part of Northern California.
81 heard Democrat who is extensively
interested in the wool business say the
other day that he had voted the Dem
ocratic ticket for the last time. He was
going to vote for Republican this time,
he said. That man owns 10000 acres of
land. There are many Democrats who
feel as he does in Hum boldt.
"You know, of course, that Eureka has
succeeded in getting terminal rates,
through Portland. That will undoubtedly
help the lumber business and greatly
stimulate the shingle trade with us.
81 have travelled a good deal South and
East, and dealers tell me that our redwood
shingles are by all odds better than the
cedar shingles of Puget Sound. A lum-
ber dealer in Kansas City who owns twen-
ty-seven yards was recently emphasizing
this to me, but We had previously been un-
able to sell for the reason that we did not
have terminal rates. Now it is different.
We can furnish better shingle than any
other part of the world and can sell as
cheap as the best cedar shingle can be sold.
'Our wool interests are very large, and
the same is true of our dairy interests.
Nearly all the land which was Used for
potatoes and grain three or four years ago
is now down in clover and other grass and
devoted to dairying. A great many cream
cries have been started.

subscribed. A good company could come
to Eureka and easily get $500, 600"
