GLENDALE.

There is general satisfaction with
he results of 1901 to farmers in the /
-icinity of Glendale, and prosperity
las brought some pleasure to every
man in the place.
Looking east from the centre OF
he town, a great Improvement has
1een made in the landscape view i'll
he past year. That old timber and |
underground, which formerly gave |
to Ellendale the appearance of be |
ing located in a swamp, has been
cleared away by Mr.. Warren Darby, !
who has built a house, cleared and
planted the land, and opened the
view Of farm lands beyond.
New residences tell of accumu-
lating wealth, and the merry hum
of machinery where baskets, barrels,
slaves and lumber are manutac-
tured, speaks for the profitable EN-
plOyment of labor.
S. E. Reed had an offer from par
ties i'll Germany last week, for the
walnut trees growing on the Dep
uty" lands, which he recently pur-
chased. This timber is hewed into
square logs and shipped across the
ocean.
David Reed is thinking Of build
ING a new residence for himself,
which will have all the modern i'm
pfovements.
Col. Theo. Townsend came to
the relief of Keiffer pear growers in
| this vicinity last week, and loaded
1000 baskets into a car i'll bulk at
this station. 1t was a beautiful
pile of fruit, and the growers were
we'll pleased. The fruit was pur-
chased at S. cents per hundred
pounds, which made a price rang
ing from IS to 1917 cents the bas-
ket; according to the way they
were filled and size of basket. Al
were satisfied with the money re
ceived for their crops; which came
from young trees, principally.
The largest Keiffer pears grown
about here were from the orchards
of Curtis Millman, Rolla Walls anC
| George Clifton. Six pears picked
at random from a load of fruit OF
Curtis Millman's wagon, weighed
six pounds, and one pear weighed
one pound and four ounces.
From one Keiffer pear tree I:
years old, James Warren picked ant
sold to Colonel Townsend thirty
five baskets Of pears weighing Io5'
pounds, for which he received S5.7
There were several baskets of I'm
dersized pears left on the tree.

of Glendale, appears to be main
