glad now to report that he is much
better and recovering as rapidly as
possible.

A Valuable Present.

The fifty dollar trunk that was
given away last July by the ever
up-to-date and wide-awake firm,
Morgan & Hardy Bros, was on last
Monday awarded by the judges to
Mrs. Robert T. Roberts, of near
this city, and Mr.. Thomas Vaughn,
of Clayton. Mrs. Roberts held
ticket No. 5,708 and Mr.. Vaughn
held No. 5,710. Ticket No. 5,7O9,
which drew the trunk, was never
presented, and the gentlemen in
charge thought that the person
holding same had been given ample
time to present same and decided
to give the present to the closest
number to the correct one. AS the
! two closest numbers had been pre-
scented, of course the parties hold
ing them were Justly entitled to
share equally in the present.
The trunk is very fine one and
is valued at $4,000
This enterprising firm, one of the
largest and most reliable in the
state, will in the near future give
their customers a number of valua-
bic presents, including very eX-
pensive upright piano. They never
do things by halves and when they
say they will give away a piano,
you can just bet your bottom dollar
that some one of their patrons will
get a piano, and a fine one too.

BENEFIT. Of Thinning Fruits i.

The benefits derived from thinning
fruits may be briefly Summarized as
follows:
First-Thinning preserves the vital
ity of the tree by lessenihg the produc-
tion Of seed.
secold-Thinning, Ii systematically
and persistently done, will cause the
tree to bear crops more regularly. of
years are in most cases due to the fact
that the trees are allowed to overbear
one year and during that year, few, II
any, fruit buds can be formed. Most
kinds of fruit trees cannot produce .
large crop and mature fruit buds at the
same time.
Third-Thinnihg lessons the loss
occasioned by the. rot and other fungus
diseases of the frnit, by eliminating
the danger of infection by contact. 1t
also in measure prevents the appear
ance and the spread of diseases by per-
mitting better ver tilation and drying
of the fruit inside of the trees.
Fourth-Thinning will produce larger
fruit.
Fifth-T,ThinniDg will produce better
colored fruit by admitting more sun
light into the tree,
Sixth - Thinning tends to tipen
the fruit more uniformly.
Ssvsnth-Thinning will produce a
more salable and higher priced fruit by
reason of the increase in size, higher
color and general appearance.
Eighth-Thinning will preserve the
shape of the tree and prevents the
breaking of over loaded branches

New Things In American Agriculture

In an interesting article in the Wash
ington Evening Times,"l about the
Department of Agriculture's work In
aiding the progress of American agri-
culture, Secretary Wilson says:
"Four or five years ago we raised
twenty-five per cent of the rice we used.
The Dingley law imposed heavy
tariff, and our rice was not suited to
our requirements; it was soft. We sent
a Southern man, to China to hunt for
what we wanted. He found a fiinty,
clump rice, and this year we shall sup
ply the home demand. We shall have
our own rice this year. We shall be
exporters after this. And those gentle
men who sent rice to the Danish West
Indies in hope that the United States
would buy the islands will find that
we have enough without their stock.
1--WE have been paying eight million
dollars year for macaroni from Italy,
and it was not of a very tempting
Quality at that. We will raise two
million bushels of macaroni wheat this
year. We.expect to develop this crop
until we add twenty million dollars
value annually to our wheat crop.
Macaroni wheat will grow in ten inches
of rainfall. 1t is suited to the Western
states az far west as the Tooth merid-

ers fishing near Richardson. While
the number of fish exported is very
much smaller than during the cores.
bonding period Of last year the prices
paid have been very much higher. On
the 3lst Of July last year, for instance,
one shipment of over 10000 was cleared
through the custom house here at the
invoice price Of eight cents each. This
year the price paid on the banks on the
same date was fifteen cents. The last
large shipment last year was made on
the 3rd of August, by which time the
big run had reached the Fraser and the
canneries there lad more local fish
than they could handle. The price
paid on the banks, then was only three
cents. A day or two later seiners who
had 10 contracts could not sell their
catches at any price, and so they quit
fishing. On the corresponding date
this year buyers were paying eighteen
cents. Between the 9th OF July last
year and the 3rd of August the num-
ber of salmon exported from this port
was over 100000, and In addition there
were good. many exported during the
preceding two weeks, before the re-
markable "run''of sockeyes and hump
backs had fairly commenced.

NOT WORTH FIXING
/ COMPETENT BUJLDER's OPINION
OF THE PRESENT COURT HOUSE
j. p. Pain Says 1t is Not Worth RsmovS
Ing or Rspairingz5,New building And
Vaults Should be Erected Upon Larger
Sits.

When ]. P. Pain, Of Lopez, who is
recognized as being as competent a
builder as there Is in the county, was
in town Tuesday he made, with the
commissioners, careful examination
Of the old court house building from
the foundation to the roof and in re-
sponse to question from the hoard as
to what, in his opinion, would be the
best thing to do with it in case it
should be decided to enlarge the Office
accommodating OIL that site and build
a court room addition and adequate
vault room, he unhesitatingly said that
the cheapest and most effective way to
handle it would be to "tonch a match
to it," 30 to speak, meaning that it is
not werth repairing and that it would
be waste of money to- attempt to
make any alterations or additions to it..
This is also the opinion of C3mmis-
sioner Groll, himself a mechanic, and
it would undoubtedly be the opinion
of any competent carpenter or archi-
tect who would examine the old shell.
That much beipg conceded it would
seem that if court room, adequate
and comfortable office rooms for county
officials, and vaults for the safe keeping
of the public records are to be provided
land the great need of them ought to
be apparent to every visitor to the
county seat), the question is shall the
building be erected upon the site of the
crumbling old ruin now occupied for
court house purposes lot 50x100 feet
in slze--or upon the full block of land
which belongs to. the County and has
been reserved for, many years as site
for permanent court house building?
AS matter of fact it is not easy to see
how any taxpayer who has any pride
in the county, interest in its welfare or
desire for the safe keeping of the pub
lie records, which is of very great i'm
portance to every property owner, can
doubt for moment that the latter
plan is the only sehslole one. Wnat-
ever money is expended for vaults and
building should unquestionably be up
on the larger site.
It is we'll to have the whole matter
clearly understood before the Question
is submitted to vote-and that is
the proper way to settle it. Pass it up
to the people and if majority of them
don't care enough about providing de.
cent accommodations for public officials
and fire-proof vaults for the safe keep
ing of records of incalculable value to
be willing to pay the Insignificant lit
tie tax that would be necessary to build
suitable building and pay for it in
five years, then we may as well quit
talking about "enterprise" and "public
spirit" among our people and not kick
if strangers within our gates advertise
us abroad as ''mossback community
content with isolation and primitive
ways of doing business.
