AN ERRONEOUS IDEA
The Oft Repeated Story That Only
 the Wealthy Can Raise Oranges.

The idea prevails throughout the east that only those already possessed of a competence can profitably and successfully establish themselves in the business of orange culture.
 This no doubt is the result of Cali fornia advertising where good orange land is held at fabulous prices, and the thousands of newspaper stories telling what MT. A, or C's orchard is valued at per acre. Add to that the prospect of an occasional failure of a crop, which in most orange countries is a reasonable expectation, and the reader naturally concludes that orange cul- ture is only pleasing occupation for the wealthy.
 But Arizona is unique in more ways than one. Following up the recent mention of the exceptional quality of the soil for orange raising iif the Salt River valley citrus belt it is d faith fuI saving and worthy of all accepta- tion" that the best orange land is yet available here at from $50 to S75 per acre and on that basis a few figures will be presented.
 A reporter Tor The 1CepuDlCan idu the pleasure of an interview recently with MT. G. H. Clayson of the Arizona nursery. When the list of successful Arizona orange growers is made out MT. Clayson's name will be found up toward the top. He may therefore be taken as an authority and his words were spoken in the midst of his own fertile acres with the golden fruit in evidence all around.
 Answering a query as to whether there was really money in oranges, Mir. Clayson remarked that he had just purchased forty acres adjoining his present orchard and it would all be set to orange trees as fast as 1t could be put into condition. The infer ence was that if the past ten years of his life had been a failure he would hardly enter upon a speculation of precisely the same nature at his time of life.
 But what is the actual expense of starting in the orange business?" he was asked.
 Well, suppose you had plenty of money" he replied. and bought the most expensive land. One acre would cost $75; clearing, leveling and ditch ing, $10; 100 trees, budded, $50; care

TOLD HIM HE WAS A MURDERER.
Successful Scheme to Get a Populist
 Court Clerk to Resign.

Geneva, Ala, Dec. 27.--Several weeks ago the resignation of Circuit Clerk Purtis was handed to the probate judge, and he notified the governors office accordingly. This was followed by applications to the governor for appointment of several we'll known men of the county. Two or three weeks afterward the probate judge mo- tified the governor to withhold ap- pointment as there was no vacancy. It now appears that friend of a Geneva county politician wanted Purtis' place and laid a scheme to get it. His friends arranged to get Purtis very drunk and when he had begun to sober up represented to him that while drunk he had killed man, and that they had spirited him away from the authorities. He was told that in flight lay his only safety. They gave him $2OO in consideration for his resigna- ton in favor of the other man as clerk

for one year, one acre, $20; water one year, one acre, SIPS; total first year, $156.25; water and care for three years more, S63.75; total, $22O. That, with the taxes, is what 1t would cost you to bring your acre through the first four years, when you would har- vest your first crop.''
 "But suppose I am poor and do my own work ventured the questIoner.
 ''Then you can buy one acre of good land for $50; 100 trees for $50: water four years, $5; that makes a cash out lay of S105 per acre from date of buy ing the land to gathering the first crop, and one man can easily care for twenty or twenty-five acres. Twenty five acres would call for cash out
 lay of $2,625 to date of first returns.
 This, of course, in addition to taxes, team and c,,ltivator and your own Iiv-
 ing. As for your own living, if yon are industrious, it can be made in veg
 etables, chickens, bees and other frlits till the orchard natures
 This brings out squarely the ques- tion: How can man secure inde- pendence for less money. effort and patience? By the time this :onver-
 sation had ended the party stood in
 the middle of a two-acre orchard of pomelos or grape fruit, four years old
 which gave a return this year of $2OO per acre.
 MT. Clayson said this wonderful
 showing was a little too good to be
 sent abroad without further expiana- tion. The pomelos were grafted onto l old orange roots discarded from the
 nursery, because they were too old to sell. They were therefore exceptional plants. but if tn yield were but half as | large it would still be a glorious show | ing for four years.
 Thre is more money in pomelos ] just at present than oranges, but nat I urally the demand is smaller and there is more speculation in it's future. Volumes could be written from Mir. Clavson's experience. but the above is sufficient to show that systematic or anse culture in this valley is a bank that never breaks.

and mako a permanent ruling upon the same"
 After the rejection the com mittee from the north was asked what they had to offer, and they said they would join the south in asking Dele gate Wilson to withdraw his bill The committee of the south then asked them if that was all they had to offer and they said they would cooperate with tho south in asking an investlga- tion of the forest reserves as soon as possible. The committee of the south said that as 1t only asked for the re- moval of 10000 sheep of total of 60O.00O and the north would not con- cede that much. that it did not ap- pear that they wanted to compromise very badly.
 The committee from the north asked for another proposition and were given the following:
 Resolved, That the depa rtment Of the interior and the proper officers thereof be earnestly requested to im- mediately and fully investigate the influence of the grazing of sheep upon the forest reserves of Arizona and to cancel or deny all permits which in the opinion of the department will jeopar- Gize the water supply of the agricul- tural portion of the territory
 The above was immediately rejected on the ground that they could not go home. and state to their people that they had agreed with the south to have 10000 sheep removed to other pas lures. The result of the conference was that both committees agreed to disagree and meet again at D. m.. when the Phoenix committee would be glad to hear of any other proposi- tion that the visitors might wish to make. They notified the home com mittee at that hour that they had nothing further to offer and the meet ing adjourned.
 The visitors spoke very highly of the welcome and entertainment accorded them here and in return rendered to their hosts and the board of trade a cordial welcome to visit the forest re- serves of the north, Flagstaff Will Hams and the Grand canyon. promising them hearty welcome in the north.
 They also said they regretted that no compromise had been effected, but be- lieved that the people of the south were honest in their convictions and as sincere as themselves. They said that if the fight came to a determined issue they sincerely trusted it would be waged good naturedly.

THE NEWS OF
 PRESCOTT

Prescott, Ariz., Dec. 26.-(Special
 Correspondence of The Republican.)- Christmas weather was fine-warm and
 baImy as a June day in Chicago, and people seemed more disposed to loiter | about in the sunshine or stroll among the Odorous pines than to wend their footsteps churchward in at tendance at some of the various beau tiful services in progress yesterday morning. Especially fine music was 1, rendered by the choir at the Church of the Advent, (EpiscOpaI) reinforced by Q beautifully rendered violin solo by A. B. Nader. and the assistance of MT. | J. E. Morrison. tenor. in the anthems and carols selected for the service. Christmas Eve MT. Morrison sang tenor solo, Ave Maria" at the song service given at this church. There is to be a Christmas party given to the children of this Sunday school and their friends on Thursday evening of this week at the Masonic hall, instead of the usual and orthodox tree at the church, which is expected to be a pleas ant diversion and innovation of the accustomed programme. A short pro gramme of recitatiOns, singing of Christmas carols, etc, will be given, after which the guests will be served with refreshments, and will indulge in the pleasant pastime of games and dancing. The programme will com mence at 7:30.
 At the midnight mass at the Roman church, Millard's Mass in B flat was rendered very ably by the choir, com posed of Mrs. R. E. Morrison and Miss Campbell. soprano, Misses Agnes Con- Ion and Inez Morrison, altos, MT. Bid well, bass. and MT. R. E. Morrison, tenor assisted by Professor Gallic with the violin. The altar was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers, and the service, always impressive and beau tiful, was appreciated by large num- Der of Prescott's population, outside of the accustomed regular attendance of that church.
 At the M. E church, north, on Sun day evening the church was given up entirely to the children's service, the little tots doing a great share of the entertaining by recitations. singing of carols. etc, while the choir lent valu- able aid in the singing of two anthems, and the rendition of solos by Misses Sherman and Block. The choir con- sisted of Misses Annie sherman and Amelia Block. Mrs. Tom Smith and Mrs. k. M. Ling, sopranos; Mrs. J. C. Martin, alto; MT. J. D. Wakely, tenor, and Messrs. Aitken and Watts, bass, with Miss Irene Martin at the organ. The church tree and distribution of gifts was had on Friday evening last, at which a Santa Claus presided to the great delight and satisfaction of the many children present.
 At the exercises at the NJ. E. church,

south. last evening, and during the progress of the entertainment, just as Santa Claus was nearly through dis tributing the many varied and beauti- fuI gifts from the tree which was beau tifully lit with many colored candles, the cotton snow on his garment caught fire, creating almost a stampede of the frightened congregation in their mad efforts to get out before the church should catch on fire from the burning cotton. However, by the timely fore thought of one of the coolest of those present, a bench was hurriedly thrown against the door, arreSting the too frantic efforts to escape, while Santa Claus was placed on a bench and the fire smothered and whipped out by coat, huriedly torn off the back of an- other cool and quick thoughted individ ual Santa Claus, whose everyday cognomen we are not able to learn, sus- tained quite severe burns about the neck and face, and he is said to have exclaimed that it was the warmest place he ever had to go through in all his experience, hot chimneys and all. When the excitement had died down to Q. reasonable degree, the dis tribution of presents was resumed, and the guests dispersed none the worse for the little side entertainment not on the programme originally. We have just learned that the name of the man impersonating so unfortunately, Santa Claus is Morris, of the Morris Bros, grocery company, and he is doing quite well today.
 After the church services at the Church of the Advent on yesterday morning, the infant son of MT. and Mrs H. R. Tritle was baptized, many of the friends of the family being pres ent at the service. The promising young scion of the house of Tritle and Fisher was named Lloyd Hereford, and was bIissfully unconscious of the honor bestowed upon him by his godmothers and godfathers, remaining asleep as when he first entered the church, throughout the service, even when the water flowed freely over his face and head, sweetly and peacefully Oblivious of any disturbing element to mar his rest.
 We must not forget to mention the services at the Congregational church on Sunday morning, at which a cantata was rendered ably by the choir, well drilled by several weeks practice. In that choir were heard Mesdames H. D. Ross, k. H. Burmeister, J. C. HerndOn, Misses CriIey and Campbell and Messrs. R. B. Burmeister and M. B. HaZletine. There was a large atten- dance, and the services were we'll ap- preciated by all who were present
 The Christian Scientists have their exercises for the little ones of their de- nomination this evening at the resi- dence of Mrs. Ed Block, at which time they will have a tree and be served with dainttes and have a programme of singing. etc.
