Experience of Fruit Growers.

A Kendrick correspondent of the
Spokesman-Review says: This spring
promises to bring some important changes
i'll the fruit acreage of the Potlatch, espe-
ciarly with prunes. A number of the
growers who have prune orchards,
and i'll bearing, contemplate pulling most
OF them up and substituting apples. Only
one season since the prune orchards of
this section came into bearing have the
shipments paid for the trouble of packing,
and that was during the fall of 1896,
when the returns netted about two cents
per pound and gave the growers some
encouragement. The shipments for 1897,
i'll most cases, did not pay the freight,
while those i'll 1898 did not more than
pay expenses. These conditions have
had tendency to discourage the growth
of the prune industry, and not few will
root up most of their prune trees as soon
as spring comes. The apple and pear
shipments have paid the growers we'll,
and the prune trees that will be taken up
will be replaced with either pears or ap-
pies. Those who are inclined to believe
there is some hope for further cultivation
of their prune trees are looking to the
drying process as solving the problem of
how to make them pay. and the dryers
that were built last season were done
mostly for experiment. Whether this
plan will pay is yet to be solved, as most
of the dried product is in the hands of
the owners and the amount being held in
the Potlatch is estimated between 100 900
and 10000 pounds. John Hutchinson
and H. A. Russell, who built dryers,
have twenty-five and twelve tons respec-
lively, and expect to make shipment in
few weeks to an eastern market.
The promise of transportation facilities
in the building of the railroads into the
reservation country, together with the
general belief that the land will be even
tually given to the settler gratis by the
government, is causing an advance in
the price of realty in that country that
makes the prices paid for claims almost
equal the prices asked for the improved
lands of the Palouse and Potlatch coun-
tries.

Executive Comedy.

The Statesman of last Thursday says:
'The governor, secretary of state and
attorney general, accompanied by w. H.
Pickett, w. f. Borah and Stenographer
|. w. Hart, returned from Albion at 80
this morning, after a trip that was marked
by some interesting and exciting expe-
riences.
'On the way over from Albion to Mini
doka yesterday the party broke through
the ice on Marsh creek and were stranded
in mid-stream for an hour. The water
was flowing over the ice, but when they
went over the team crossed safely. But
OH the return trip the horses broke
through and could not move. After they
had foundered around for time they
we're quoted down and the members OF
the party held council of war. The
water was coming into the vehicle and
wading was out of the question.
FINALLY Mr.. Borah climbed on top OF
the conveyance and proceeded to emit
late the example of the wild dogs of the
desert. There was a habitation about
half mile away, and, after the gentle
man OF the law had howled and whooped
for part of an hour the attention of the
man of the place was attracted, and he
proceeded to the scene on horseback. Rid
ing into the swollen stream, he took Mr..
Borah on behind and essayed to land him
on the other bank. But the horse had a
hard time finding way out, and again
and again seemed on the point of going
down and precipitating his load into the
stream. But at last Mr.. Borah was safely
landed, and the rescuer proceeded to
bring the others out one by one. The
governor, however, mindful oil the dig
nifty of the commonwealth, declined to
mount behind the man, and sat in the
wagon while it was dragged out, the sad
die horse being hitched to the end of the
tongue with a rope. They were in the
stream an hour. Snake river was crossed
on the ice.'

Levi Ankeny's Detectives.

Levi Ankeny, the prominent Washing
state politician, was at one time lead
ing Lewiston business man. His sue
cess here was remarkable. In the trying
times when the desperate caused reign
OF terror III the mining camps of the
northwest, Mr.. Ankeny sustained no loss,
nor did he fear loss. He exercised the
deep insight i'll human nature, and en-
gagged the facilities that have made him
power among the politicians of the state
OF Washington, in his early business ca
reer. He maintained private detective
system that extended to every camp in
the interior. He made point of getting
acquainted with all the desperadoes, and
unlisted their sympathies in his interests.
- lie would go straight to the worst men
lie could find, and tell them he knew
their general regulations, but he wanted
to be on friendly terms with them. He
would thereupon make an agreement
with them to do detective work in his
behalf, and he paid them well to protect
his Interests, to see that he was not
robbed; to give him safe passage through
all dangerous places with his treasures;
aud the amounts were very large. By
diplomacy and small contributions in the
way OF remuneration, he bought his
safety, and he felt perfect confidence in his
system of detectives; for he was on the
inside with every gang in the country at
i. all times.
With the element of danger removed
CIR. Ankeny maintained great advan-
'ase over competitors in business. 1t be-
came known that gold dust and treasure
were safe in Mr.. Ankeny's hands, and
this TACT brought him great volume Of
business. This policy of trading in the
confidence of desperaioes was original
with Mr.. Ankeny. 1t was an honorable,
open business proposition. but the strange
4iance was surely remarkable.

Troops and war vessels are arriv-
ing at Manila now in rapid success
sion. About 5000 troops, the flower
of the regular army, will soon be at
the disposal OF Gen. Otis, when an
offensive campaign will be inaug-
urated. The lives and health OF the
American troops make such a course
necessary. 1t is important that the
rebellion should be put down before
the rainy season sets in, If possible.
II ammunition and other supplies
can be cut off 1t is not unlikely that
the Filipinos would soon lay down
their arms. A vigorous campaign
against the followers OF Aguinaldo
can be looked for in a few weeks.

In all probability the ballot law
will be so amended az to dispose OF
the circle at the top. A bill makiag
this and other changes has passed
the senate by a vote OF Is to 8. The
doing away with the circle may
prove beneficial, but there should be
no otherchanges. The ballot should
be made as simple az possible and yet
guarantee protection to the voter.
In the recent election it was demon
strated that in some OF the pOpulous
centers 1t proved an eusy matter to
manipulate the ballots of the voters,
and, besides, many voters were I'M
able to vote a scratched ticket prop
erly, the circle confusing them.
