So much mischief can be done by
applying manures of the wrong kind
in orchards that doubt if we do not
lose more by manurlng than by neg
lecting to manure. Fruit trees do not
at any time require barnyard manures,
or their equivalent. What they re-
quire is supply OF inorganic food.
You can do no better for apple trees
than to supply them with coal ashes
in which there is liberal admixture
of wood ashes. The coal ashes loosens
the soil; the wood ashes furnishes the
fertilizer. If you can get supply OF
old mortar you have just the thing
you need. A mixture of lime and
salt, when so mixed as to leave no free
salt, is excellent for all fruit trees,
All such manures should be applied as
atop dressing. A peach or plum
orchard needs nothing better than
swamp muck or earth from the woods,
with slight addition of phosphate
and potash.
If barnyard manure is applied at
any time, it should be thoroughly de-
composed and applied as a top dress
ing. Such manure, if placed about
the roots, when planting a pear or
apple tree, will kill it. Grapes of
course want phosphates and potash.
They will also respond to free appli-
cation of liquid manures during their
periods of rest, both in winter and In
mid summer. All the tall growing
berries, of the bramble sort, will use
large amount of organic manure. But
be careful about dressing your rasp-
berries with rank undecomposed barn
yard manure. The probability is at
any time you will develop q fungoid
disease that you cannot easily master.
If you use barnyard manure in rasp-
berries it should be thoroughly COM
minuted with the soil as compost.
In fact, l prefer to compost every
manure before it is placed on my gar
deus. Equally important at the ma
nure is the mulching of our fruit trees
and bushes of all sorts.-E. P. Powell,
in Orange Judd Farmer.

Facts About Mason CO. Washington.

| -
The editor receives many inquiries
from people III all sections of the I'm
ION, as to industries, wages, lands, etc.
and to obviate.the. necessity of writ.
ing letters, the following general re-
plies have been prepared. The Editor
will add further information, but en-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from 81
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $3.50 to So;
Woodworkers ST. so to So;
Farm labor $40. to $25. per month ;
The nature of work, the skill OF
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes difference in wages.
RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from IS
to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable d vel
ling brings So to $40. Houses are
scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented cheap, and one
or two places, which can be had for
year or two for keeping them up.
FUEL.
Wood is burned almost entirely.
Fir wood sell at 80 cents to ST. per
rick (half cord) delivered. Hard wood
alder and maple will cost little more.
On the ranches and away from town
wood costs the cutting.
LIVING.
The cost of living in section is very
moderate, very few things being much
higher than in the East, and many
much lower.
Best flour is 90 cents to 81. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 80 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, Is to
80 cents per bushel.
Fruits and vegetables ale becoming
very plentiful, producing heavily, and
are within the reach of all.
LAND PRICES.
Practically no good vacant land
convenient to settlement, is available
for homesteaders. The Northern Pa
ciic and the Mill companies own large
bodies of logged-off lands, some of
which are well situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from 81 to S. per
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable.
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find a partly improved ranch and buy
1T, where they will find everything
ready to begin making a living. This
is good section for workers, and idlers
and people who are not willing to
work are not wanted. There are good
openings for milling, or other business,
or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
cient means to secure a start.

FIRE AT THE CORA.
THE SHAFT HOUSE DESTROYED
LAST SATURDAY EVENING".

The shaft house of the Cora mine, one
of the Heinze properties, was destroyed
by fire Saturday evening, entailing a loss
of about $1,000. The blaze started from
tank of coal Oil which stood too near
the boiler. The heat of the boiler soft
ened the solder of the tank allowing the
Oil to escape. Some of the oil ran near
the boiler doors and became ignited and
instantly the whole boiler room was in
flames. The engineer notified the men in
the mine by climbing down the manway.
The men were taken out through the
Gray Rock workings.
Chief George Lapp of the Anaconda
fire department, accompanied by several
of the employees of the latter company,
fastened to the scene. but the fire had
made such progress that the building
could not be saved. While the fire was
in progress the cabled burned Off and the
cage dropped to the 200-foot level, where
the safeties caught it.

THISTLE,S AND DANDRUFE.
AN INTERESTING PARALLEL AND
A VALUABLE DEDUCTION
THEREFROM

Cutting down thistles no more relieves
the land of thistes than does securing
the scalp cure dandruff. In each case
permanent relief can only come from
eradicating permanently the cause. A
germ that plows up the scalp in search
ing for the hair root where it saps the
vitality, causes dandruff, falling hair,
and badness. If you kill that germ,
you'll have no dandruff but a luxuriant
suit of hair. Newbro's Herpicide is the
only hair preparation in the world that
cures dandruff, falling hair and bald
ness by killing the germ. Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect"

TWO CAPITOL STRIKES
Demands Made Upon Sub.ConfraCf-
 OrS RYnerSon and Barnes.

There is a strike on the capitol building which, however, will not se- riously obstruct operations. The strike began with the quarrymen en- gagged in taking out malpai for the foundation walls. They are employed by the sub-contractors on the founda- tion, Rynerson & Barnes. There are about fifteen of them and they were paid 1925. Their demand for higher wages was not clealy formulated, but it was for raise to $3.5O or $4.O0 a day The demand was not even considered but ether men will be sent out this morning to take their places.
 The other strike was not e.ympa-
Arizona republican., 1899-03-28

thetic. but it happened to be directed against the same sub-contractors The strike seems to have been made under a misapprehensiOn of the law. The stone masons are engaged in it. They were to begin work yesterday morn ing. Six had been paid at $3.50 and S4 a day, and four of them agreed to be on the grounds yesterday morning. The trouble arose over the hour day. In every branch of the work the day is nine hours and will not be any less. The masOns remembered that the day on all government work is eight hours. They accrdingly demanded an eight hour day. The demand was promptly refused and MT. RynersOn notified the strikers that they would be given until this morning to decide whether they wanted to help put up the capitol building. Il they do not, masons will be brought in from the coast and Texas
 Some of the strikers and MT Ryner- son met on the street yesterday morn ing and there was an exchange of compliments The sub-cOntractOr eX- plained that the capitol building was not government job and that the government was not paying for it, but that it was purely q territorial af- fair and there was no law in the terri tory fixing the number of hours in labor day
 It will require from two to three weeks to put up the foundation walls after work once gets under way.

PLEASED WITH PHOENIX
The Best Town He Has Visited Since
 Leaving Kansas City.

A recent arrival at the Ford is
 Hardin H. Littell of Buffalo, N. Y.
 MT. Littell has been interested for 9
 number of years in the several street
 car companies of Buffalo, but less than
 a week ago he forwarded resignations
 as director of three companies, and
 vice-president of six companies of that city. He left his home over q month
 ago for pleasure trip and is making his first visit through the west.
 He was seen at the hotel yesterday and expressed his surprise at witness ing so modern city in Arizona After a five thousand mile ride, much of it through desert tracts, he was hardly p1apared to see city entirely Up to date. He asserted that nowhere in his trip this side of Kansas City had he seen as creditable buildings and as well kept streets as are Seen at PhOe- nix. "A great country this,' he said, and little more water will make 1t a paradise.
 But I must net neglect ny city" continued MT. Littell, which is so re- nowned summer resort. And our winters are not so severe as reputed. There will be thousands of people in Buffalo in 1901. In that year we will hold 8 magnificent Pan-American eX- hibition. The scheme was lnaugurated in 1897, when the G. A. R. met there. and President Mckinley drove the first stake for the fair. The exhibition was contemplated ten years ago, out was postponed On account of the worlds fair at Chicago, which. of course, was little larger undertaking than our fair will be, but in point of interest not equal to some of our exhibits. You see, a great many things We're forgot ten at the Chicago fair, and we will in troduce many new features which were not thoughl of and which will be well worth coming to see. Our natural ad- vantages are better in some respects. For instance, there is the Niagara falls The residents near that famous cataract have kindly agreed to re- move their falls to Buffalo during the Pan-American fair and visitors to the fair will not want for a water front. There will be canals and gondolas, and tCbogganS built especially 60 ride over the falls. The affair will nos be one of local interest only, and large crowds of people are expected from all parts of the world. Buffalo IS a beautiful place, by the way, with magnificent lawns and terraces. There are over 25O miles of asphalt streets. Of course the population is dense, but it is not far to an outlet. The Niagara falls afford good place for recreation to
