CALIFORNIA ORANGES.
Vast Improvement Noted In the Fruit
Effects of the Freeze in
Florida.

Everybody who eats them has
probably noticed that New York's
supply of California oranges has
never before been SO plentiful and
cheap and good as now. You can get
big, sweet, juicy navel oranges as low
as two for a nickel, says the Sun.
Florida oranges have practically
been out of the market since the big
freeze in the fall of 1897. They will
find things somewhat changed when
they get back. A few years ago the
superiority of the Florida orange,
particularly the Indian river prod
uct, was unquestioned. The Calfor-
MIA orange was coarse-grained, less
juicy than the Floridas, deficient in
flavor and full of stringy pulp that
was both disagreeable to the eater
and hard upon the digestion.
But wonderful improvement has
been made within comparatively
short time. The California orange to-
day is still coarse-grained and still
lacks some of the delicate flavor of
the Florida or the Messina fruit, but
it's flavor has been vastly improved,
it is trimming with juice and the
tough fiber in the best grade of
oranges has almost entirely disap-
peared.
It is not generally known that this
horticultural device for doing away
with the seeds in the ripened fruit
was introduced in this country by
an observant American woman who
called the attention of the depart
ment of agriculture to it. This wom-
an, while travelling in the province OF
Bahia, Brazil, in 1868, observed that
the oranges of that province were
much superior to those raised in the
United States, and seedless as well.
She communicated with the commis-
sioner Of agriculture, and as result
IL young plants were sent from Bra,
zil to Washington.

Some people are curious to know
whether the members of the next Irg-
islature are TO be permitted to take
the old oath of Office or will be obliged
to swear allegiance to Prince Bob, and
bind themselves to obey all due signs
and summons received from him or
sent to them by any game warden or
oil Inspector, or by the chairman OF
the Bob La Toilette state central COM
mite. According to the tenor of the
last alleged Republican platform. a
man who presumes to obey his oath OF
office and use his judgment in decid-
ing upon the relative merits of public
measures, knows too much to be a Re-
publican member. In all questions OF
doubt the member must consult Prince
Bob, or his ancient factotum, General
BRYANT.

CNdIFIQ
Dated Madison, Wisconsin, July %, 1902

The republican convention for the
district, will be held at Portage. Sept.
3. AS the time approaches interest
throughout the district is growing and
the various candidates are work ino
tooth and nail to strengthen them
selves. Very much depends upon the
result in Dane county, where Messrs.
DAZZLE and Adams are making vigor-
Gus canvass. Contrary to precedent
the committee have in its call made
the county Instead of assembly district
the unit, SO here can be, so far as
Dane county is concerned, no split or
division in the vote. Whoever car
ries the county will control the entire
3o votes, which is powerful factor
in the matter. Speaking for Jefferson
county, the Republican adheres to the
opinion heretofore expressed, that it
should send a delegation of represen-
tatlve men to the Portage convention,
prepared to do what is considered best
for the party, and incidentally to look
out for our home interests politically.
Should dead lock occur, or the tri-
angular fight between the Dane and
Columbia county candidates become SO
heated that it is deemed the part of
wisdom to look elsewhere for candi-
date, we are firm in the faith that
Hon. l. B. Caswell, of this county, is
the most suitable one to be found
His long experience in congress, his
standing as citizen and Republican,
and his acknowledged ability and fit
ness point to him as a most available
nominee. The suggestion is purely
our own and is thrown out for what it
worth. We hope it will receive due
consideration at the proper time.

Spokane, Wash, oct. 2-Several
hundred farmers in eastern Washing
ton and Oregon are finding it more
profitable to raise sugar beets than
wheat. They are turning an increas-
ed acreage from wheat raising to
beet culture, with large profits in
sight. The average income per acre
for this seasons crop of sugar beets is
estimated at SO. 80. Farmers are now
pulling the crop. They say beet
raising is three times as profitable as
wheat growing, besides requiring less
expensive machinery and apparatus to
handle the crop.

Many Prominent Party Leaders In
Attendance Big Mass Meeting
Tonight When Senator Bev-

Chicago, H.. Oct, 2-The spacious
Coliseum was crowded in every part
this morning at the opening of the
biennial convention of the National

O'Clock, when the national president,

by states ON the floor of the hall,
while some five thousand spectators
occupied the rear and the gallery.
After brief welcomes aud responses,
Treasurer John h. Virgins of Penn

with republican fervor and cordially
received.
The work of the convention is to

LOST BOY WAS
TAKING CAR RIDE
Bloodhounds From Canon
Assist in Search.
Little Five Year Old Joe Lawing
Wandered Away and Boarded
a Santa Fe Freight Train
Now Safe at Home.

Little Joe Lawing, the five year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs j. R. Lawing of
602 Pixies Peak avenue, caused his
parents intense anxiety by wandering
away from home yesterday morning,
and it was not until IL O'Clock today
that he was again safe under the par
entail roof.
Early yesterday morning the boy
asked to accompany his father to the
Union mill, where Mr.. Lawing is en-
ployed, but the request was denied,
Later Mrs. Lawing noticed that the
boy had gone, but supposing he had
gone with his father she was not
alarmed. At noon when Mr.. Lawing
returned home, and found that the
boy was missing, he started out in
search of the little fellow. In the
course of his search he found that the
child had been playing about the
Dorcas mill. Will Storm having seen
him there. Others joined in the
search, but it was not until about six
o clock that the case was reported to
the officers. Then the bloodhouuds
at Canon City were sent for and a
searching party was organized. At
9 O'Clock the dogs arrived and at once
took the trail at the Dorcas mill
They followed out over the hills for
nearly four miles when they turned to
come back. The men supposed the
dogs were simply back tracking and
were loath to return. The animals,
however, refused to proceed. and as it
was pitch dark and beginning to rain,
nothing more could be done. 1t was
one O'Clock when Mr.. Lawing and
the party returned to his home to
learn the glad news that the boy was
safe and sound at Taylors, the first
station east of Beaver.
1t develops today from the boys
story and from the Santa Fe railroad
employees. that after walking out over
the hills for some distance from the
Dorcas mill, the boy retraced his
steps and came down to the Santa Fe
tracks where an east bound freight
was standing. He climbed into the
caboose and before he was noticed
the train was well on its way. This
was at 1925 yesterday At Taylors
the train took siding and the
youngster was left in charge of the
agent. For some reason, however,
the Taylors agent did not report the
case until 10 O'Clock last night. when
the anxiety of the nearly cTaZed
mother was relieved, and the fears of
the father We're later allayed when
he returned from the search. Little
Joe returned to Florence this morning
on the II O'Clock Santa Fe passenger
no worse for his adventure.
