The Kind to Grow.

1t is now time to be casting
around to find the best place to
yet your fruit trees and many
enquil les are made nearly every
day as to where is the best place
to get them.
am sorry to say don't know,
for all nurseries have been tried
and found wanting. This should
not be 80. Right here a thought
strikes me: Why don't some good
man start a nursery in Kittitas
valley? My judgment is ut fault
if there is not an opening right
here in that line of business.
1t would stimulate many people
to put out an orchard, Others to
extend their bearing orchards and
if a good reliable man would start
nursery here, there would be 10
acres for every two acres now set,
and we would have a better class of
fruit among us. But man in the
nursery business must remember
that he gets the benefit OF every
mans forgetfulness. You sell them
a bill OF trees and they set them
out and promise they will keep a
record of their trees and it is neg
lected from day to day, and finally
the tags are lost and the wires have
cut into the growing trees, and
when they commence bearing they
declare that the nurseryman has
substituted On them and he gets
kick. l dare say there is not halt
a dozen men in this valley that has
a record of their orchard of trees,
and too many make no observa-
ton of the nature and growth of
each variety of apple, pear, cherry,
plum or peach trees. This is very
important, as it is one of the chief
means Vi being able to determine
the name OF a certain variety of
fruit. Then by observation we are
able to Judge the constitution of the
tree and of the tendencies to be
prolific. Observation is great
teacher. l will here give a list Of
what I consider the best varieties
of apple trees to plant in this val
ley. Summer and fall apples:
Transparent, Chenango Strawberry,
Granestein, Duchess, Wealthy,
Rambo, Waxen. Winter apples:
Baldwin, Jonathan, Spitzenburg,
Crawford's Keeper, Grimes Golden
Pippin, Delaware Red Winter,
Rails Jannett, Red Cheek Pippin,
Missouri Pippin, Northern Spy,
Hubbardson's None Such, Vande-
we're, Vandevere Pippin, Blue Pear
main and White Pearmain. Pears;
Bartlett, Clap's Favorite, Flemish
Beauty, Fall Butter and Beurre
Easter.
We do not expect man to put
out all these good varieties but can
choose from this list a good collec-
ton. There are mary other good
varieties not mentionel here be
cause they have not been thoroughly
tested in this valley,

AWAITS A LEADER
LIKE MOSES OF LONG AGO
To Lead Reform Forces For.
ward to Victory.

After Tom Patterson was elected
to the United States senate by the
populists of Colorado his first act
was to repudiate his former party
associates and to declare himself
democrat. Mr.. Dubois, senator
from Idaho, went through the same
transformation process, and he also
came out a good democrat. Does
this mean that the populist party
is going to join the democrats en-
masse? For the last for years there
has been but little, if any, differ
ence between the populists and
democrats of the west in reference
to the main questions of party pol
itics, SO that it really made no diff
ference to which division of the
great allied army a voter belonged;
but the time is coming when it will
make vast difference. Tom Pat
terson as a democrat will be Just as
good man as Tom Patterson the
populist, but it must not be for.
gotten that Dave Hill is also a
democrat, and Tom Patterson and
Dave Hill are as wide apart as the
poles. Populists may still be will
ing to support Patterson, but they
might as we'll support the devil as
Dave Hill.
There can be no union of reform
forces under the name of democrat,
for that name covers up too greata
multitude Of both sins and sinners.
1t is true that rose by any other
name would smell as sweet, but the
name democracy, by virtue of its
long history Of perfdy and dis
honor, smells so bad that the fra
GRANGE of all the roses in the uni
verse cannot sweeten it's ancient
perfume. There are more than
100000 men who voted for Bry-
anism who will not march under
the soiled banners of democracy,
and not even the eeloquence of
Bryan will charm away their dis
gust at the name Of his party.
What will this great army of
voters do? Viii they reorganize as
populists, and make another fight
under the old leaders, or will they
go on with socialists and others to
found new reform party consist
ing of all those people who believe
in the declaration of independence,
direct legislation and public owner
ship?
What will Bryan do in this
crisis? viii he go with Hill and
Croker, Cleveland and Watterson,
or will he go with the common peo-
pie to whom he claims to owe al
legiance? His new paper is called
The Commoner, because it repre-
sents the common people. Will
that paper lead the democracy
to the people, or will it try to lead
the people to the democratic party?
The times are full of atisfac-
ton and unrest-the people are
waiting anxiously for the develop
ment of strong party on radical
lines. At least 100000 voters are
ready to follow a strong leader into
the ranks Of socialism, but Bryan
has said that he is not socialist.
Will he become q socialist in the
near future? If not, he will not be
the Moses who is to lead the people
into the promised land.
The immediate future is full of
great surprises, and, before the
election next fall, there will be a
terrible rafting among the dry
bones. We await coming events
hopefully and without fear.-Cen-

A CARD OF THANKS.
HOW AN EDITOR DOES IT
It is not Supposed to Tickle
Everybody in Town.

OF screen Owls ana told us That he
had found typographical error in
the Leader, and seemed to be har-
boring the idea that he had accom-
plished something that was some
thing, and when it came to super.
refined brightness, he was trans
cendently and pre- eminently ct"
Just last week another one of the
wise of the earth invaded the sacred
precincts of this den and rendered
us the startling information that
he had found some serious gram
NAUTICAL errors in this sheet. What
tommynonsense for full grown men
to be wasting time and breath
about!
We didn't say much when these
particular brands of dambothera-
ton were uncorked for our benefit,
but we thought great gobs Of
unprintable and also unspeakable
thinks about them and the more
we thought the farther our liver
went out of plumb.
The fellow who can find no better
way OF putting in time than both
ering a country editor about typo.
graphical errors can be wound up
with a short turn. He should wear
the bell in creations prize herd Of
jassacks.
But to the grammar sharp we
are more than thankful. Sometimes
the best of us will Inadvertently
slip up on a grammatical banana
peel and sit down so hard on a
ragged edged soleclism that it
makes our syntax look like 80 cents
in Ritzville crap game, and we
are so grateful to him for putting
us wise that that we will not only
always remember him as the blue
ribbon dam-phool of the tail end
of the nineteenth century, but will
print for his sole benefit a little
story that we have filed away in
our scrap-book. 1t was ground out
by an old southern editor who is
now building straight democratic
editorials and drinking straight
whiskey in California city. Here
it is:
1 served my apprenticeship in
the sanctum of surly editor who
was long on ideas but short on
grammar. One day putty.headed
pedagogue blew in-one Of the
mental misfits who spend minutes
thinking what to say and months
learning how to say it. He had
discovered a grammatical error in
an editorial and was putting like
compound engine. sinister Editor
he exclaimed, 81 found a grammat-
ical error in your paper today"
"The HI you say" quoth the edi-
tor. "What else did you find
any ideasW The caller admitted
that he had and the autocrat of the
sanctum continued in voice that
cracked the plastering "Well sonny,
language is the vehicle Of thought
and if / have succeeded in con-
structing vehicle that is strong
enough to carry an idea into that
nut of yours, I'll got it patented.
Good day"
Do you tumble, Mr.. Grammar
fxer? Can you locate the moral
in that little yarn without a COM
pass! Can it be pumped into
your Uranium without the aid OF "
horse syrange.? Right here let us
saw you off a slab of fatherly advice
that is more precious than refined
gold, or even a bunch-grass girl.
Treasure it as carefully a. you do
that idea of your supereminent
smartness, then hand it down to
the next generation of Smart Alecs
Whenever you run against gram
NAUTICAL error that is tangled up in
a country editors journalistic tatel
patch, step over it and 60 on. The

WILL SETTLE
TRACK QUESTION
Subject Will Be Determined
BY Street and Sewer De-
pariment Tuesday

In all probability the elevated track
question will be settled on Tuesday
next at its meeting by the Street ana
Sewer Department, by the granting Of
the franchise To the T.. w. 4 Il. Rail-
road Company by the directors, permit
ting the company to erect elevated tracks
throughout the city.
The principal contention has been re-
garding the opening Of certain streets
north of Nandever avenue, the erection
of supports for overhead crossings at
various streets, and in the subject Of the
drainage 1t is understood that the
subject of the opening of streets has
been practically settled, and that the
only contention between the directors
and the company is regarding the inter
ference with sewers and the erection Of
supports. 1t is probable. however, that
these two points will be amicably agreed
upon before the directors meet again,
and that everything will be agreeably
adjusted.
The directors have made a careful
study Of all questions involved, and will
act on the subject for the best interests
Of the city.

ing that there was more property TO be

that in ease the company is organized

In the event nf the two prospective or

Local railroad men are waiting for
an official notification giving the pre-
else effect OF the resolution adopted by
the presidents of the Trunk Line Asso-

held in New York. abolishing ex-
change passes. The understanding Is
that the action does away with all
passes issued by railroads to officers
and employees of other lines.
AT first sight this would appear to be
a comparatively insignificant matter.
but the fact is that an immense amount
Of free transportation Is furnished to
railroad clerks and other employees, the

tween officers being a very small part
Of the exchange transportation issued

TROLLEY DEAL
STILL PENDING
Closest Secrecy Maintained by
Persons on Outside
dR. JOHNSON MEANT BUSINESS
Mas Accompanied by I. Coleman
Dupont When He Left Wilmington
for Philadelphia

Although there is but little addi-
icInal news regarding the pending Del
aware trolley deal, it is generally be-
'ieyed that the transaction will be
made next week. The persons inter-
ested are men who do not foo time
dg.th small matters, and tAe apparent
interest of Tom l.. Johnson in
Delaware auclley deals has kept up the
guessing amCng brokers and business
men, except Those who are on the i'm
side, and they are as tight-mouthed
as clans.
[ That Mr. Johnson was in Whining
Ton yesterday merely to make a social
'sall on Willard Salisbury, I. Coleman
iOuPOnt and Anlhcny Higgins is con-
sidered absurd, and the fact taat the
,0hioan was accompanied to Philadel-
'phia from this city at noon yesterday
l5y Coleman lDuPontserves to add con-
interest to the proposed deal.
Mr. Johnson is said also to have
been in Dover yesterday in consulta-
,tion with Harry A. Richardson, presi-
dent of the trolley company recently
chartered in Delaware, with a capital
lof $5000,00 This if true and
pwilh tlhe fact THAT Mr.. Richardson has
squieIly been buying up the holdings OF

amay mean and assure the purchase OF
sthe franchise and THE building OF the
proposed trolley road between Elkton
