The fact that Ballington Booth and
wife have been dethroned from the
leadership Of the Salvation army in
America has caused so much dissatis-
faction among the ranks that it is highly
probable that . new organization will
spring up with Mr.. and Mrs. Booth at
the masthead. In fact it has already
been started by members OF tho army,
and while Ballington Booth is very quiet
and docs not seem disposed to talk about
it he is Saving wood" just the Same
that in the near future we may expect q
new army, or tho old one under new
name, in America.

How Trees Yield,

One Of the prominent Western Slope
fruitgrowers who resides at Grand juno
ton, has taken the trouble Of compiling
some statistics concerning the averages
obtained there from the different kinds
Of trees and small fruits, and gives the
following az tho result OF his work:
"Apples-Average number Of trees to
the acre, 10; average yield on eight year
old trees, 10 bushels each; average net
price to the grower, 80 cents q bushel;
700 bushels of apples at 80 cents bushel
$3.50 an acre.
"Pears-12O trees to the acre; average
yield on eight year old trees, five boxes;
average net price to grower, $50 . box
Of 40 pounds, or $500 an acre.
"Peaches-12O trees to tho aero, ten
20 pound boxes to the tree on six year
olds; average net price to grower 40 cents
per boz; total per acre, $500.
"Plums and Prunes 100 trees per
aero; average yield per tree at eight
years old, 10 boxes Of Is pounds each;
net price to grower, so cents box; total,
$500 per acre.
"Cherries and Apricots bring about
the Same net result a. peaches. or $500
an acre.
"Grapes-Foreign varieties GOO vines
to tho acre; average at four years old,
one 20 pound box; average net price,
$2.25 crate, or 1887 an acre.
Strawberries yield $50 crates to the
acre, averaging s2.25 crate, or 1887 an
acre."
These yields and prices can be dupli.
Gated on any Of the good fruit lands Of
Delta county, and in many instances
they are exceeded.

If Associated Press reports be true, or
II one may Judge by the things that have
been said. then the Spanish people are
ready to go to war with the United
States forthwith. All of this is from
the fact that Spain claims she has re.
ceived an insult from this government
by our United States senate deciding
to recognize the Cuban provisional
government and to ask the president to
use his power with Spain to obtain
recognition Of Cuban independence.

A Complete Surprise.

About the jolliest crowd Of MARI led
people that ever got out on lark was
seen on the streets last Saturday evening.
While making the regular rounds for
recruits they attracted the attention of
everybody, and most especially the small
boy who with suspicious look that q
charivarie was on hand couldhardly help
from falling into line-the fact that Dave
Bailey was in the crowd made it all the
moro suspicious for them. Quite q
crowd congregated at the residence Of
Geo. Conklin, from whence they marched
in body to the new and cosy resi-
dence Of Mrs. Loie Bear on Main street.
taking that lady completely by surprise
crowding into the rooms and filling
them comfortably full, the party took
entire posssssion-some with baskets Of
cake and sandwiches, others with bottles
OF pickles, salads. bags Of fruit, etc.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
games and conversation, during the time
a lunch was prepared and passed round,
Being leap year Of course the ladies had
the privilege Of selecting partners for
supper, 80 all the gentlemen were sent
into an adjoining room. and one at a
time they were required to stick one foot
through the chenille curtains and the
ladies would all have one guess whose
foot it was, the one making the right
guess to have that gentleman as part
ner for supper. This afforded a world Of
amusement for some time.
After late hour the party adjourned,
each one fully convinced that they had
been amply repaid for their trouble,
while Mrs. Lois Bear was delighted, al
though completely surprised, to have her
new residence 80 pleasantly initiated.
Following is list Of those present 60

WRESTLING DICK'sQ QUEST

The Tucson Star has the following e0ncsrains . well known character in Tombstone of the oldsn time: "Whist- ling Dick" is . psrsonass well knoWn to all old-tims Nevada and ArizonA minors and frsighters. He is sixty shrss years old but locks as if he might yet see forty. He drove into Bsnson yesterday morning with we'll equipped outfit sn route for Tomb stsne, the scsae of his sdveaturss and lsbors in the early eightisss
 "His visit this time was precipitstsd by . story told him Tn San FEsneisco lately by "Buckskin Sam" sn early stags dr,vsr between Tombstone and Bsnsou. One night "Buckshin Sam" was on his way to Benson. \ part oi his cargo was bar of bullion mostly silver but carrying considerable gold and valued .: sboutS6, 900. Sam was drunk and recklsss, the roads were heavy and Sam in order ts tighten ship threw the bar ou, into the mud. When he reached Bsnson where the bullion was awaited by She sxpress company Sam explained that ne was not going lo pull the lvsrs cut of his horses for any such dross as bullion and he hal du mpsd is into the mud.
 "Dillige.t search was made tor it but i, has never been found by any pro- peIly authorized persons or found at all, which is quite unlikely.
 "Buckskin Sam" when he met "whistlipg Dick" in San Francisco gave hin more minute inform stion concerning the exact locality of the castaway bullion"
 Whistling Dick arrived in Tomb. stone safe and sound and is row to be sssn on our streets.
