PAY UP.

The first of the year is a good
time to square up accounts. There
are great many small amounts
due the TIMES, which in the aggre-
gate amount to a considerable sum.
We have been very backward in
sending ont bills, taking into con-
sideration the hard times, but we
cannot wait forever, and therefore
desire that all persons knowing
themselves to be indebted to the
TIMES cali and settle their indebted
ness. If you find it inconvenient
to pay all you owe, partial pay
ment will be thankfully accepted.

ME Williams and Blanche Lamont,
stretched hemp at San Quintin yes

has been nearly three years since
Durrant committed the crimes for
which he hung, and every conceiv-
able trick that ingenious lawyers
could think of was tried to save
his life. He never hinched during
the last trying ordeal, but it is
surmised that if it had not been
for his mother he would have bro
ken down and confessed. His re-
mains will probably be cremated or

Claim Jumping.

In regard to the jumping of min
ing claims upon which assessment
work has not been performed, there
are many who think that he who
gets on the. ground the nearest after
midnight on New Year morning can
legally hold it against all corners,
but such is not the case. The Su-
preme Court of Colorado has decided
thatif a claimant was on the ground
at reasonable hour on New Year
morning, prepared to perform his
annual assessment work for the pre-
vious year, and continued such
work until properly completed, he
could hold the claim no matter how
many location notices had been
placed on it during the night by
other parties, and the United States
Supreme Court sustained the decis-
ion

THE American iron factories are
showing greatly increased outputs
each month, and are steadily under
selling the foreigners in foreign
markets. According to the protec-
tionists, however, a heavy tariff duty
is necessary to prevent the foreign
ers who cannot hold their own at
home from paying freight across the
Atlantic to compete with their vic
torious rivals here. By this method
of reasoning it is comparatively
easy to prove that white is black

Chicago. Oct. 24.-The Orange Judd
Farmer in its issue OF this week says:
The apple crop OF the United States is
smaller than it has been since reliable
statistics have been collected. The total
SIMPLY from the 1898 crop OF the United
States is q, ,7OO, 900 barrels, compared with
something over 4o. .ooo. 600 las. year. and
100000 in the record breaking crop OF
1896. The failure is widespread. reaching
from the Pacific coast to Maine, and in
none Of the states does the output OF fruit

sta OF the West. the crop is almost an
ab QUITE failure. although the situation
in Michigan is better than elsewhere hav.
ing about two thirds OF the bumper
crop ofD6. New York has only one
fifth OF full crop. The failure is at
tributed to the fact that during the
blooming season there was excessive
rainfall which washed out the pollen and
prevented proper fertilization by insects.

and subsequent moist humid weather

SOme Early Predictions.

The Washington Star. which is sup
posed to stand very close to the admin
istration and is often quoted as a
political authority. states that the next
presidential campaign will be fought on
lines practically strange TO the people q,
the present time. 1t predicts that the
silver question will settle itself before
that time shall arrive; that the Indian
mints will reopen next fall and be fol-
lowed by a request from England to
agree upon some ratio that will be sat.

ln other words. il appears that it is
generally agreed in administration circles
that the commission now looking up the
effect OF the gold standlrl in India will
report some time next summer that the
uiints should be rcopencd. At the present
time England is short on gold and fast
becoming debtor nation SO far as pay
ment OF debts in that metal is concerned.
These conditions must force her to ask
rcficf. and the natural relief would OF
course suggest itself in the way Of
more extended use OF silver.
II is upon this basis. practica ly. tia,

be eettlcd. Admitting that the ratio
gained might not be l6 to l. it insi.ts
that the general advance in the price %

thereby quiet the dcmapd Tor the

After disposing OF the silver question

which Bees are Best!

Which bees are the very best honey
ga,herers and extra good workers. the
3 band. the leather colored Italians, or
the black bees:
Answer.-You can generally tell some
thing about a mans belief from his
practice. i keep bees not for my health.
not for the fun OF it. but for the money
can get from the honey. Atthe present
time have between 200 and 800 colo
nies and they vary all the way from the
very yellowcst to those almost black.
In good season there is a good deal Of
difference in the amount u honey they
store. Some OF them hardly pay their
rent. Last year, and it will probably be
much the same this season, an occasional
colony hardly stored 20 pounds, while
others reached nearly ten times that
amount. l don't feel proud OF that II

have any such poor colonies, and there
would be greater uniformity in the

those that have the most black blood.
But il colony distinguishes itself par
ticularly in the way OF honey gathering.
he chances are that they will be neither
very dark or pure Italians, but cross
between the two. But not being fixed
type the fear is that they might rapidly
deteriorate. There is vigor that comes
from fresh cross that may not continue
il that cross is perpetuated. By trying
to keep somewhat near pure italian
stock. there is all the time chance enough
for the introduction OF black blood from
surrounding bees.
Answering your question then as you
put in should say that the pure Italians
