The mere degrees of latitude and
longitude convey no idea of our
climate to others. Hygrometric
conditions are so different from those
OF other regions that the very figures
OF the mercury are misleading.
When the mercury reaches 100

without fear of sunstroke. When it
falls to zero or below the next sum

flowers abundant and perfect.
Peaches, apricots, nectarines,
pears, cherries, berries, grapes, plums
and all the hardy fruits yield crops
almost increditable, both in quality
and quantity.
Prunes are commercial speciality

All the grains Of temperate climates
flourish. As l write, before me lie
some some figures of grain produc-
ton, Jeffreys Bros ranch for ten
successive years produced crops aver
aging five thousand bushels of No. /
grain, oats and barley, on eighty
acres Of land James Jeffreys grew
twenty nine hundred bushels of
barley on fifty I've acres OF land.
These are given not as being the
greatest yields but as the only ones
to which l am able to refer
Hay is so profitable that it is
rather crowding out grain as mark
ct crops. More corn is grown each
year as each crop shows more the
pay that is in it.
We owe the climate, that makes
these things possible, to the hills that
shelter our state, and especially our
valley, from the cold north wind and
admits through their western passes
the breath of the Pacific, warmed by
its leagues OF sunlit waters. While
the great Japanese current washes
our shores our climate will be sur
prise to those who measure tempera'
ture by latitude
To the hills also we owe the fertil
ity of our soil, the detritus from
their sides constantly adding thu
elements needed.
Again the hills hold treasure locked
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1899-04-06

produce what they live on and live
on what they produce. They wish
the products of all climates, the
products of all skill to be placed at
their command, furnished for their
use.
Hence, even our fertile soil, our
fayoring climate, our abounine
waters, have been insufficient to at
tract immigration Our fields and
orchards, our focks and herds, easily
produced a more than sufficient sup
ply for the needs of producers, but
the lack of transportation for their
surplus deferred them from settling
here.
Now this is different. Whatever
man can spare can be easily sent to
the ends of the earsh in exchange
for the good things thereof.
Besides facilities for shipment will
facilitate the development Of our
mineral resources and give US a
market at our very doors. The
miner is always good customer and
usually pays cash.
We have space to offer these peo-
pie who are looking about them One
hundred miles from north to south,
fifty from east to west, very good

fruitful fields, of corn and wine and

Staunton, Va, Feb. 4.-Andrew Smith,
the yardmaster at this place for the Val
ley Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, was crushed and mangled to
death by the wheels of q freight car which
he was switching in the yard yesterday
afternoon at o'clock.
There were no eyewitnesses to the trag-

happened in the way of the car. He had

Appearance of the Steamboat Comet
in Eastern Shore Waters.
Easton, Nd, Feb. 4-Some excitement
has been caused in Caroline, Dorchester.
and Talbot by report that floating
barroom" has been launched on the Chop
tank River.
The facts are that the steam yacht Com
ct. capacity twenty-five passengers, has
been purchased By Ewing & Walls, of Tai
bot county, to ply on the Choptank be-
tween Oxford and Greensborough, ostensi
bly, to carry passengers and freight. A
barrcom has been put on board and the
owners have obtained an internal revenue
special tax retail liquor dealers stamp.
In the past few years some Of the lines
on the bay and rivers have abolished bars,
notably the Baltimore Chesapeake and At
lantic Company, on all their numerous
steamboats,. Some have retained the bars.
1t has been held. or assumed, that the To-
cal county laws forbidding the sale OF
liquor did not apply TO steamboats, when in
motion.
Convictions have been procured against
steamboat barkeepers who sold at wharves,
but, as far as known, 70 one has been
prosecuted for selling on a running boat.
1t is very probable a test matter will be
made in the case of the Comet.
