q An Old Time Montaninn.

Judge O'Bannon received Il letter this
week from his old friend, Hon William
IL. Clagget, who is living at Silver City,
Idaho, where he is engaged in the prac-
tice OF law and incidentally tempting for
tune in mines. Mr.. Clagget was closely
identified with the early history of this
territory, and took an active part in its
infant politics, once representing the ter
ritory as delegate in congress. He has a
remarkable gift Of oratory and always
ranked as 4 most pleasing public speaker
among the unusual number Of highly ac-
complished debatcrs who graced the DO
1itical arena Of the territory. Mr.. Clag-
get was at one time very wealthy through
his mining interests in the Coeur d'Alene
country, but the slump in silver and labor
troubles reduced the value Of his hold
ings.

OF the travelling public, thousands Of

This year Mr.. Fee has attained an un-

OF his annual brochure, it is of superior
merit both from 4 literary and artistic

STIFFNESS OF DEATH At HAVANA
The Black Pail or Weylertsm Hanging
Over the People.


A special from Havana to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer says:
The owners of shops in Havana are
ordered to put up the shutters by s
o'clock each evening, and where there
has been gayety and apparent uncon-
Germ heretofore there is the stiffness of
death now. Marin has gone to hunt
Gomez but it begins to look as If there
is more danger behind than in front.
The farther away Marin goes to discov-
er Gomez the closer seem the soldiers
of Gomez to encroach upon the suburbs
of this city. But a few days ago It
was reported with quite flourish that
the Spaniards had taken full possession
of the railroad lines running from Ha-
vana to Batabano, and that the rum
ming of steel-clad trains constantly up
and down the road would keep 1t free
from the insurgents. 1t has just devel-
oped that the telegraph lines have been
interrupted, and the insurgents run at
will and whittier they will. Meantime
the exodus from the city continues.
The rich and the poor, the Spaniards.

In a word it may be said that Havana
is confusion, and the confusion of Ha-
vana is past every precedent. Those
who remain have the black pail Of
Weylerism hanging over them. 1t Is
said that the general officers coming

have no idea of risking their comfort
or their lives. They are satisfied when
they gather up young boys here and
there and sentence them to death.

lie HhD Has No Pets Has No Love
for Home.
Keeping poultry teaches love in its
broadcast sense, says the Homestead. 1t
compels man to love his home, to watch
the little matters, to be regular, to be
frugal, to be Industrious. All these go
to make up a happy life, and to be in
love with that which is dear to him.
1t is an old saying that he who has
no pets has no love for home. The
woman who delights in the company
of neither bird nor animal, finds the So
ciety of gossips and street runners the
most attractive. The poultry woman
makes the model wife. City life has
no charms for her. Her home and her
fowls are everything, and in them she
finds comfort, health and strength. The
patient, kind hearted woman alone
makes a success in egg and poultry
culture, while the tickle minded grumb-
ling female would not think of stoop-
ing so low as to ''mingle with such
pests
A once poultry woman was, by force

.cdIture, and


Ulles, yet It behooves us to look some
what into the future.
Overproduction in prunes is only pos
sible in sizes running from 80 to 120-
and over; for sizes running from 80 to
60, never / have also had inquiry from
Berlin for samples of our prunes On
further inquiry learned that Pacific
coast prunes, of which lot had found
it's way into the German capital, were
very much sought after, and sold for
l mark, or "a cents per pound; but the
era for high prunes has passed; nor do
we want it's return, for just as soon as
prices advance, consumption natural
ly decreases, which is not to be desired.
1 have proven on my own grounds that
prunes at cents per pound will net
over 500 per acre. This is plenty good
enough, and even could stand consid-
cradle shrinkage in price and yet be
more profitable than could be gained
in many other agricultural pursuits.
DIFFERENT KINDS.
1t has been advocated to plant only
one kind of fruit, so the grower could
study them more closely and give his
entire energy to this particular vari-
ETY., be 1t apples, pears or prunes. This
may be good advice to the planter of
large commercial orchards but for the
average planter, from 20 to 40 acres, l
consider it ill-advised. I do not believe
in carrying ali my eggs in one basket,
partly because all the labor comes at
one time, and much money must be paid
out for help, and partly for occasional
failures either in productiveness or
prices. The time has come when one
must do as much of his own labor as
possible; it is both healthful and prof
liable; hence, permit me to suggest the
planting of the following varieties in
given quantities. / shall take 40-acre
tract as my guide, which, of course,
may be increased or decreased, always
keeping in mind to grow sufficient of
any given horticultural variety to
make a carload lot:
Twelve acres apples-Varietis for
northwestern Oregon Duchess of Old
enburg, Baldwin and Ben Davis, or sab
stitute Jonathan and King of Thorn
kins County. For eastern and sotheast-
ern Oregon: Gravenstein, Wealthy,
| Baldwin, Kin, York Imperial Yellow
| Newton Pippin, Waggoner and Ben Da-
| Wis, or any four of them.
Ten acres pears--Varieties, Bartlett,
| Fall Butter, Beurre, Clairgeau and
Beaurre d'Anjou.
Ten acres prunes-Varieties, Petit
| d'Agen or French and Fellenburg or
Italian or Clairac Mamoth d'Ente, a
new French variety, very large and
| heavy when dried.
Three acres Observation-Disclosures. Roy
| al Anne, Oregon, Bing, Hoskins and
| Lambert.
Two acres French walnuts-Varie-
ties, Mayette, Parisienne, Franquette
| and Columbus.
| One acre Observation-Disclosures, Crosse
Precose, Paragon, Mouzillard and
| Combala.
| One acre-Family orchard of such va
| riety as fancy suggests.
| One acre-Berries and grapes.
| These fruits are all of commercial
| value, and whatever varieties are Sc
lected should be planted in equal num-
bers and in alternate rows for pollina-
| ton purposes.
