FREMONT COUNTY RICHES
Nature Overlooked Nothing in
This Rich County

Viewed in broad sense, oil the
arabic part OF Fremont county is
an orchard. Very little attention
is given to general farming, and
only enough vegetable gardening is
done to meet home demands, but
there is not fertile acre which is
under irrigation that is not devot-
ed to fruit as fast as the land is
taken up and can be planted.
There are $3.50 acres of bearing
orchards in Fremont county at
the present time, and 1000 acres
planted to trees not yet bearing.
OF the bearing orchards $3.50
acres are devoted to apples; pears,
200; peaches, l25; plums. 10; cher
ries, 100; black berries %; goose
berries, 10; grapes, so; strawber-
ries, 250. The average yield of
apples last year was eighty barrels
per acre and the fruit brought S3
per barrel; pears, 1900 crates at
$l.74; black berries. 1900 crates.
at Sl.20 per crate; strawberries,
$4,000 quarts, at 64c per quart;
grapes, 10000 pounds, at BIC per
pound. The older apple orchards
produced in many cases as much
as 300 and 400 barrels per acre,
and paid their owners 5000 and up
ward per acre.-Denver Times.

What an Interested Citizen Says.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: The best in
tentions followed by the very best
conduct is often the cause of mis-
understanding and wrong judg-
ment. This fact has been proved
by the town of Florence.
When the officials of the town
knew definitely that smallpox Was
in the community they took the
most prompt measures to stop its
spread. Their energy in isoleting
suspected cases, and in guarding
those lii quarantine, instead of
being the source of confidence it
was expected to be, has been the
cause of the widest and unneces-
sary rumors.
The contagion is absolutely un-
der control, and everything is well
in hand. The town officials have
this consciousness that they did
their duty and, by so doing, have
saved neighboring communities
from the plague and no doubt
many lives Contrast Florence with
Pueblo. 1t was from our neighbor
that the infection came, and the
two who brought it here are dead.
The state health officer commend
ed Florence for its conduct, but
threatened Pueblo with a state
quarantine.
Our people faced their RESPONSE
bility and lost the holiday trade,
but saved life, while Pueblo cover
ed up their sickness, got the holi-
day trade and thirteen deaths from
smallpox.

Rose Wafer After the Meal.

Rose Water After the Meal
There were several round tables
placed down the middle of the room;
candles burned in eandlesticks, all of
which had been imported from Cairo
at a fabulous cost, says the Geogr- Jhi-
cal journal. Lamps of olive oil were
also about the room. The food was
more than abundant. A whole sheep
stuffed with rice, raisins and pistachio
nuts; soup, chicken. vegetables sue
ceeded each other. Then came trays of
delicious fruit-the trays made of
woven date-fber; the fruit, the de-
licious black grapes, figs, a small va
riety of watermelon, sweet lemons,
pomegranates and mandarins.
Our host did not sit down. but di-
rected the servants, who were most
likely slaves. There is still some traffic
in slaves from Kura, the price of these
being a small roll of blue and black
cloth, such as the natives wear. / fancy
most of the Swans dislike of admit
ting Christians TO their town is the
dread that their slave trade will be in
terfered with. There was no conversa-
ton during the meal, for anyone to
talk would have been a disre gard for
the other more important function Of
eating.
After a long dinner we rose and
washed our hands in brass basins, with
water poured out of ewers. Then all
sat on divans round the room. a SER
want then walked round, showering
rose water over us so literally that an
other had to follow with a towel and
wipe us dry, and while he did this
third stuffed us with incense. This un-
pleasant ceremony cost our host large
sum, for rose water imported from
Egypt becomes of fabulous value and

Much is being said by the press
of Denver regarding the necessity
for a change of the assessment law
and the fair equalization of such
assessments. Such an adjustment
would, we believe, be eminently
satisfactory to the rural counties.
There is very general impression
that the outside counties are made
to bear more than their just pro-
portion of the taxes, and that the
county of Arapahoe is the gamer.
To remove this impression from the
minds of the taxpayers will afford
the Denver papers wide field for
labor, and they should not be slow
to begin the work.

There is no greater factor in the
march of progress than the coun-
try newspaper and its editor.
They make the country and the
country makes the cities The
city papers exchange list is its
greatest barometer of the business
interests of the state. More good
ideas come to the metropolitan
press from the country press than
go to the country press from the
city press. If "A country news
paper takes and publishes an item
from city paper without credit
the metropolitan editor refers to it
as larceny. but he will sit right
down and write an editorial on
some good idea that the country
paper gives him without thinking
of placing the credit for the idea
where it belongs.
Country newspaper men are
builders. They work for their
community, very often without
hope of reward, except the con-
seriousness that they have made
the country better and Will some
day harvest from the seed they
have sown. The brightest men
are found very often on the most
obscure papers. Ideas are the
modern essentials of the modern
newspaper and the idea is the same
whether it goes TO the world blurr-
ed from the old style press or by
the latest big presses.

greatness to the enterprising news

by Collector of the Port Thomas, the
total number of immigrants who ar
rived at Philadelphia during 1898 was
9532, of which mum Der 5546 we're males
and 1886 females. This is nearly 1000
less than the total for 1897. Great

Desirable Iepislatinn.

1T very unfortunate that the pend
ing Senatorial contest at Harrisburg
almost completely blocks legislation,
and for an indefinite period, appar-
emily, as no one can tell when the
deadlock will be broken, and a normal
condition of things restored. Mean
while, however, bills are being intro
dueed and these may be discussed in
an informal way and through the
press the public can be acquainted
with the measures proposed in the in
terest Of reform.
One Of these is the bill for the re-
construction of the ballot law, which
has many good features and which,
when perfected, should be passed. 1t
is intended to make radical changes,
and one of the most important is the
doing away with the circle at the top
of each column and the substitution
OF system for grouping candidates,
under which the voter will have no
excuse for getting muddled or nullify-
ing his own work through voting for
two candidates for the same Office.
This is long needed step in the
right direction, and in other respects
the new bill commends itself to the
good citizenship of the state. But
there is one important matter left out
entirely and which should be pro-
vided for as part of the new law, and
this is personal registration.
The precautionary rule of the man
ager of a colored function in the
South on one occasion, that no gentle
man should be admitted ''unless he
came himself, was a wise one, and
this is pre-eminently the idea which
needs to be applied to the registry
system in this state, as it long has
been in others. Under such a rule
iInpersonation and repeating at the
polls is practically impossible 1t i'm
poses no needless hardships upon
voters. In New York the registry
board sits three days and nights, 50
that those engaged in ordinary occu-
patton can attend to this matter with
oat loss of time or interference with
their daily duties.
In some parts of this state the
assessment of voters has been long
standing scandal, for which there
seemed to be no adequate remedy.
The lists have been fearfully padded,
and through perjury and defiance OF
decency, elections in some divisions
have been the veriest mOckery. Some
thing must be done to put an end to
this iniquitous work, and personal
registration is the direct remedy.
1t is to be hoped the Legislature
will not fail in its duty in this respect.
Such an amendment to the ballot re-

GRAY UN THE TREATY.

Peace Commissioners Explains why He
signed the Document.
Washington. Feb. i.-Senators Gray
and Money occupied the entire execu-
tive session of the senate yesterday in
speeches on the peace treaty, Senator
Gray favoring ratification and Senator
Money opposing IT,
Senator Gray was the third Of tn
Paris commissioners to speak. He ad-
mitted that in the beginning of the
negotiations he had been opposed to
the acquisition of the Philippine archi-
pelago. and said that he had freely and
frankly advised the president and his
fellow commissioners Of his belief that
it would be unwise to attempt to shape
it's destiny. He had at last reached
the conclusion that he would either
have to join with the majority or see
the treaty fail and the war continue.
In the meantime he had been largely
won over by the arguments of his col
leagues and by the logic of the situa-
ton. and he had at last concluded to
sign the convention.
Having taken his position he was
here now to defend the treaty as d
wise conclusion Of a most delicate Dip
lomatic undertaking. Many complica
tions had beset the commissioners in
their work, and while he would not re-
tract what he had heretofore said as
to the undesirability of acquiring dis
tant territory, as a matter of principle
still there were times when a nation
as an individual might have to choose
between evils. Senator Gray did not
advocate permanent occupancy of the
eastern islands, but said that the
duration of our exercise of sovereignty
there should be settled in the future.

OPPOSING THE BOuNrlEs.
Minority Report on the Hanna-Payne
shinplng BlIl.

Washington, heb 1.-The minority
reports on the Hanna-Payne shipping
bill was filed i'm the house Of repre-
sentatives yesterday II was prepared
by Representative Handy, Of Delaware,
and is a severe and somewhat po-
litical arraignment .of the measure and
those who would receive bounties un-
der it. The report scys:
"This bill is one that was prepared
and brought to congress by voluntary
committee Of ship owners and ship
builders, representing the gentlemen
who viii receive the bounty which the
bill proposes to give from the public
treasury. The bill as 1t Is reported to
the house is in almost the exact form
and grants to penny the bounties de-
manded by the gentlemen who are to
receive them. The bill is therefore,
naturally and entirely satisfactory to
the interests who have organized this
movement to secure the vast sums car
rled in the bin as a gratuity to be used
in carrying on their private business
and enarging the profits thereof.
"The bill provides not simply for
bounties, but for bounties which, once
granted, can not thereafter be taken
away. If this bin passes the con
tracts Will be quickly made. aud once
entered into no future congress can in
honor break them or refuse to make
the necessary appropriations to pay
them To do so would look like re-
pudiating a natlonaf obligation.
These bounties will probably soon
cost the government $4OO,OOOO0O annu-
ally. OF this enormous bounty the
lions share win go to the Interna-
tional Navigation company This com
pany will receive in the aggregate more
than $4,000 900. In this bill it is pro-
vided that a man who builds a great
and speedy ocean steamer shall be paid
bounties in 20 years amounting to twice
the whole cost of the boat
This bill is the offspring of mere
bounty beggars, and SHOULD be repudi-
ated by representatives of both po-
ltlcal parties. It is vicious in principle
and wholly un1ustifabe"
