1t has always been said that peaches
would not grow in a country as far
north as this. They will, tho. In John
Lyter's residence lot in the western part
of town is a peach tree three years old,
OF the Clingstone variety. 1t grew from
a seed he planted in the lot, and this
year it bore twenty-seven as fine leach
es as one would care to see or taste. He
has seven other trees planted in the
same manner which are one year old.
They have ali withstood the cold wealth
ler without any apparent damage and
there is no reason to be seen why they
will not become fruit producers. All

Davenport.
Prominent lumber men of the city
say that the business in this line is
better now than it has been for some
time and that the mills will continue
I'D, run so long jas they can obtain a
ssufficient number of logs to keep them
busy. The prices received for sawed
lumber they say is higher than have
been received for some time. The cause
for this state Of affairs Is said to be
the amount of building which is going
on all about the state. There is usually
a slight falling off in the business at

however, they will continue to cut as
long as theyf can obtain logs
