Black Land Apples.

Whenever one mentions apple
growing to the black land farmer he
is invariably met with the objection
that apples viii not thrive on this
soil. Although 1t has been demon
strated several times that apples
will do ell on Ellis county black
land still the old objection has force
enough to deter the planting of this
fruit. Yesterday afternoon a visit
was made to the orchard of Mr.. c..
l.. Kidd, In the eastern part of the
city and an inspection made of his
orchard. Mr.. Kidd was found busy
budding his young trees for next
years delivery. He left this work
and piloted the newspaper man
down into the apple orchard where
sight met his gaze that was proof
conclusive that black land would
raise more apples than tree could
hold. Mr.. Kidd has winesaps, early
harvest, striped June, smokehouse,
shockley, Bradford's best, Texas
red, Ben Davis, bellflower and other
varities, all of which are doing well.
Many of the trees are loaded to the
ground with well developed fruit.
The shoekIey especially is very heav-
ily fruited. With one or two ex-
ceptions the fruit Of all varities is
large, and those which are ripening
now are sound and well favored.
Mr.. Kidd is q scientific fruit grower
and has demonstrated to the people
of Ellis county that as good fruit
can be grown here and as success

IMMENSE ELECTRIC PLANT.
Reported Great Power and Railroad
Enterprise at LeadviiIe.

Leadville. Colo. May 6.-The inaug-
uration Of an important enterprise,
which Is now being kept quiet. IL
promised complete publicity with de-
tails within the next thirty days. This
publicity will come when the new con-
cern will ask the city and county for
franchises and authority to construct
an electric line In the city and nn cleo
tric railroad to connect with the mines
of the camp, and will follow this with
the construction Of a plant sufficiently
large to furnish power to the mines
and smelters Of the district.
1t Is understood that one OF the best
known and richest electric cOnstruc-
tlon tirns in the West IL back Of this
enterprise. The company has had men
working quietly on the matter for some
months past and has secured water
and reservoir rights and 1t Is the In
tention to furnish electricity from
water power, plant To prevent any
failure In the power through a severe
winter, subsidiary steam plant will
be erected at Malta four miles from
this place.
1t IL stated that the company, after
carefully looking over the field, has
definitely decided to 20 ahead within
thirty days and that something like
million dollars will be expended In the
enterprise.
Electric power can be furnished to
the mines much cheaper than they can
generate their own steam. In view Of
the fact that pumping operations are
among the heavy expenses OF conduct
ing mining In this district, the fact
that electric power is to be supplied
is hailed with much delight by mining
men of the camp. who say 1t will en-
able the operation Of properties that at
present are idle.
