the young fruit after danger from frost
in the spring, and before the fruit gets
large enough to become a lax on the

thinning, they remove all of the fruits
from one spur without iniuring it, so
it may produce fruit buds for the next

! Tuesday last a man named Hopewell
from Iowa, arrived in this town in
| search of his hayward son William
who was last heard of in this neighbor
hood. and who had been missing fol
several months. We looked through
our notebook and finally came to our
memorandum regarding the man on
Horse Shoe creek. 1t did not take two
minutes to satisfy the anxious father
that this was his long-lost son, and we
lent him our mule that he might go out
and view the spot and bend over the
last resting place of his wandering oil
spring. While he was absent we as
certained that William was hung by
five cowboys from xxx ranch, who
overlook him Just as he had dismounted
from a cayuse belonging to the ranch,
which he had borrowed on a dark night
without consulting the owner. This in
formation we did not communicate TO
the father. He left here Wednesday
evening, fully believed that William
had been chased Il mile and a half by .
cinnamon bear, and that heart failure
was the direct result. 1t were better so.
He will return to his wife and mother
and tell them that William joined the
innumerable caravan from over-eXer-
ton while trying to keep Is rods ahead
of a hungry bear; and, though she will
grieve for her first born, she will be
spared the knowledge that he was
minutes before his heart went back on
him.

their names and state their business.

Lem lives up in the mountains, and has
killed more grizzlies than any two
other men in the territory. He wanted
to renew his subscription to The Kick

stopped him at the door and explained,
but Lem did not send his card. In

STATE AID FOR ROADS,
New york Has Just Pointed Out the
Probable Ultimate solution OF
,ho Good Roads Problem.

The strongest impetus which the
GOOD roads movement has received in
many years past was the passage by
the New York assembly of the Higble'
Armstrong coed roads bill.
II is significant of the rapid growth
of public sentiment in favor of state
aid TO highway construction that the
opposition to the measure could mus
ter only 80 votes. Under this bill the
state appropriation for this year to eS-
pend for highway improvement will be
100000, which, it is estimated, viii
amount to one cent per $1,000 OF as
sessed valuation, OF ga cents on the
average $500 farm.
The size of each years appropriation
is fixed by the Legislature, and as the
good results of the law become more
discernible and more generally recog-
nized it is not improbable that public
sentiment will demand in a few years
IL much larger appropriation. Under
the provisions by which a county is au-
thcrized TO apply for a portion OF the
good roads appropriation the law be-
comes a home rule measure. Ii the APP
