What Can BE Done by a Man behind
"A Good Idea-Tbe Great West as "a
Frait Growing Country-Points In
PomoIogy.
If the Elan who makes two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before is a
public bene actor" the man who takes a
stretch Of Improbable prairie ground and
turns 1t into Il smiling orchard surely de-
serves the gratitude of his countrymen
And that Is just what Judge Fred Well
house, the apple king of Kansas, has
been doing, not only to one portion of the
soil Of the Sunhower State, but to sew
eraI.
The year 1875 found Mr.. WelIhouse
possessed of a large store of knowledge
concerning tree growing and orcharding
especially in Kansas. but with very little
cash. lis knowledge had been gained by
many years Of close observation and prac-
teal experience as pomoiogst, and in
addition to il he had q great and abiding
faith in the future of Kansas as a fruit
growing country. AT the same time L.
Il. Wheat, lawyer Of Leavenworth,
owned three tracts of land in Kansas, In
all ABR acres. There were two tracts,
100 and Iii acres in extent, in Leaven-
worth county and one OF 100 acres in
Miami county. This land was not profit
able and could be rented from Mr.. Wheat
al low figure.
These three tracts of land, with inn
provements, had cost Mr.. Wheat about
$4,000. and he was willing to rent them
for perhaps 81 an acre. Mr.. Wellhouse
entered into contract with the Leaven-
worth lawyer for the use Of his land,
believing that he could render it profita-
bic by planting it with apple trees. The
result has well justified his opinion and
proved him a man of wonderful fore
sight and business acumen.
BY the terms of the contract Mr..
Wheat was to furnish the land, fence it
and break in that part of it not previous
ly cultivated, erect buildings for tenants,
dig wells, etc. Wellhouse & Son were
to furnish the trees, plant, cultivate and
take care of them until they came into
bearing pay taxes for the first FIVE years
and were to get all grain that was grown
on the ground between the trees. After
the first FIVE years Mr. Wheat paid
taxes and each party was to bear one

half of the expense, and each was to
receive one-half of the income until
Welhouse * Son should receive 10 BUSH
els per tree or 50 long as the trees might
bear.
The agreement remained in force for
Is years, from 1850 to 1898, the years
of usefulness of these three orchards
The agreement worked well TO both par
ties, and they received from their three
plots net income of 100000, or $4,000
TO each party. The account closed prac-
tically with 1898.
Wellhouse Il Son turned their money
to good account in acquiring other or
chards. and they now own about 1,22C
acres of fruit bearing ground. About
one-third of this is now in bearing, and
the product of this season is estimated
at 10000 bushels, approximately valued
at $1,000. Mr.. Wellhouse believes that
for his section of the country the fol-
lowing proportion of varieties is best:
Ben Davis, 100: Missouri pippin, so;
Jonathan, 40; Cane, Is; York Imperial,
Is. He sets his trees, when 2 years old,
in trenches instead of holes, 16 feet
apart, in rows north and south, with
the rows 81 feet apart. This plan af-
loFuS, ne nnus' certain advantages III the
way of shade and protection from sun
scald, besides obviating the necessity for
a wind break.
The apple crop Of the United States
is one of great and growing Importance
and, according to a recent magazine
writer. promises to take rank as the
greatest fruit crop OF the world. New
York is still the banner apple state, but
the fruit is receiving more aud more
attention from the farmers of the west.

Catholic Fair.

The ladies of the Catholic church deserve great credit for their enegetic efforts in preparing the fair which will be held on the 18th, 2Oth and 2lst of this month. We have especially noticed in the window of the store formerly occupied by Mrs. Stein, a magnificent bedstead, with springs, worth 5000, to be rallied at one dollar chance for the benefit of the fair. The bedstead will be an ornament to any house, and no doubt will especially attract the attention of the young people of Flagstaff who are seriously thinking of quitting bachelordOm. A lively interest is being manifested in the different contests, and we expect that the voting for the various prizes will create some exciting times.
 Application has been made for re- duced rates all along the line of the Santa Fe Pacific for the occasion, and we feel assured that the Catholic fair slal serve to show the outside world that Flagstaff duly maintains her repu- tation as progressive. intellectual and charitable city: at the same time an affair like this cannot but help to pro- mote the best interests of our beautiful Skylight City.

 Both Dr. and Mrs. St. John are or dained ministers of the M. E. church, and both of them have been national lecturers for the W. c. T. U. Mrs. St. John has just finished featuring tour of four months in California, and those of our citizens who heard her on her former visits to Flagstaff will be glad of another opportunity of enjoying one or more addresses from her. No one should miss the opportunity of hearing these eloquent speakers.

Summer In Dawson City is delightful.
and even the winters, say those who
have staid there In that season. are
glorious. Many are the stories told
about the wondEous beauties of the
trail over the ice and the White pass,
where even women have gone, han
ding their dogs from day to day as
the men handled theirs Every man
and woman there has a story, all in
teresting and some thrilling.
II used to like to start out first in the
morning, said Detroit woman. "Once,
as hurried my dogs down the trail in
the gray dawn, / saw three stray ami
mails romping on the way. Now, If
you catch up with a stray dog on the
trail, he is yours; SO, my heart fiutter-
ing with joy, began whistling to the
half wild creatures.
AT first they paid no attention to
me, but kept romping and leap frog
ging up and down the train. l slowed
up my team and put myself in front,
the better to make my peace with the
renegades.

A richly dressed woman entered the
Office of trust company in Philadel-
phia the other day to rent a box.
'Have you any one to identify youY'
asked the attendant.
Certainly not said the woman In
dignantly. Everybody knows who l
am"
THAT may be-" was the reply, "but
I don't know that you are the woman
Of that name"
Just then another woman, who had
been transacting some business, raised
her head, and frigid nod passed be-
tween them.
"Do you know this woman?" asked
the bank official
Il don't want to know her." snapped
the woman. "She lives next door to
me, and instructed her footmah to
kick my dog, just because it chanced
to be on her step. You needn't ask me
to identify her, for won't"
Il wouldn't let you identify me-" re-
torted the applicant for box Il think
you have acted horribly about your
old dog, and you left the Dorcas so
ciety, telling everybody you wouldn't
belong as long as l was a member. A
nice Christian spirit"
In the meantime the bank official, en-
tirely satisfied that the identification
was complete, handed over the key to
the box, to the i'll concealed chagrin
of the other woman, who had identified
her against her will.-New York Trib-
