OUT OF LUCK
The Salt River Valley Cannot
 Produce Apples

With all the marvellous fertility Of its soil, the Salt River valley cannot raise apples. It can produce the fines, oranges that ever grew, the sweetest melons that ever tempted 'Rastus, the rosiest and best favored pesch-. that have ever delighted the eye of 8 fruit connoisseur, grapes that excel Cslifornia's best, and even pears that in size and taste are unrivsled, but there is no clsmbering over the fact that It is an unqualified failure in apple culture. The Republican m s confession of the fact states that dur ing the past year msny ranchsrs in the valley have tried by all the artifice- known to the craft to grow an apple that was estsble, bet have not suc- ceeded in raising any but email dry and fsvorless fruit, and it is very likely that efforts in the future will be confined :o the fruits which are better adapted to the soil and climate and lovers O. the apple will depend on the north for ,heir supply.

CONNECTICUT.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 5-The last
day preceding the eventful first Tuesday
after the first Monday i'm November finds
the situa tion in Connecticut much the
same as on the preyious closing days of
the campaign.
Perhaps the feature OF the day is to be
found I'm the distribution by the Demo
Gratis of posters on scale much more
elaborate. probably. than ever before at
tempted IL is stated that into every
household I'm Connecticut holding a voter
there has gone a complete set OF Demo
cratic posters. At all events the mails
have been deluged and the voters OF the
state will tonight find themselves provd-
ed with every facility for the prompt and
early contribution of their ballots tomor-
row
Organization activity is unusually
marked today also. and some OF the older
men of the state have remarked that they
have never seen so much work done be-
fore an election
lt seems To be apparent that the great
effort of the Democrats is TO be made on
the state ticket, and the Republicans are
leaving unturned no stone To bring the
figures OF their candidates for Offices as
close To the Mckinley vote as possible
Both parties are doing a drive at the
stay-at-home vote and unusual precau-
tons are being taken To get out the vote
The Republican leaders are. apparently
as confident as ever. and the Democrats
are today possessed OF an enthusiasm
which leads them to talk OF a Democrat
landslide
