Countless homes in every city in

loss of some deSpairing member by

The story of the life-work of the dis

His unusual talent soon brought him

POLITICS AND HORTICULTURE
y Few Impressions of the Situation in
the Upper ella Valley.

Chaplain Scott, who has been touring
the upper ella valley in company
with Colonel Brodie and party, return
ed this morning and is enthusiastic
both in a political way and over the
wonderful resources of the valley
through which the upper ella finds its
winding course. The Chaplain made
speeches at Wilcox, Thatcher, Pima
and Stafford. He made not only
speeches, but he made friends and
aside from the political enthusiasm en-
gendered and the hopeful prospects for
results he comes back a full-fedged
champion of the upper ella valley as
particularly favored locality among
the many good places in Arizona.
He says there are eighteen canals,
large and small. under successful oper-
alton and in addition to the same won
derful production of agricultural crops
of which the Salt River valley boasts,
it is q perfect Eden for the horticul-
turist, especially in the line of apples,
which so many are quick to say cannot
be successfully grown in Arizona. The
Chaplain brought back with him and
placed on exhibition with the chamber
of commerce a box and g1ip-Sack fun
of as fine apples as ever grew on earth
This statement is not for effect. but is
simple, unvarnished truth. The Chap
lain also ayers that they are not rare
specimens, either, but were taken as
they come on the tree. Among the va
rieties of which he has specimens from
four-year-old trees, are the Ben
Davis.'' 'sNonesuch,'' Lawyer"
''Twenty-ounce Pippin,'' and the
BLACK Arkansas"
Mr. T. O'Brien, of Stafford, has
twenty acres in this fruit and expects
next year to set out an additional ten
acres. Mr.. James Lassiter also has a
nice orchard. The chaplain is of the
opinion that in a year or so the I'M
portation of apples from California
to Phoenix will be thing of the past
rs better fruit can be grown right here
in the territory. He is enthusiastic in
rhe matter and believes the people of
that valley have great possibilities be
fore them. He also believes that Bro
die will be elected.
