Newark News)
In the few flakes that whirled through
the air there was every indication that
a lively western snowstorm was about
to strike the little Colorado town of
Whitesville. Seemingly winter was
about to celebrate the afternoon before
Christmas by putting on a garb in
keeping with the spirit of the holiday.
As the snow began to fail Jim Baker,
tramp, panhandler, man of no work
and of no account generally, shuffied
along the main street. apparently I'M

that had accumulated about his person
in a ride of more than 200 miles, hang

truck of a freight car. Appearances did
not count for a great deal with him. He
had figured out that as Whitesville did
not count for much on the map he
would not amount to much while there
Anyhow, he didn't want to be in
Whitesville. It was all the fault of the
brakeman of the freight. Jim was
trying to reach Denver for Christmas,
because he knew there would be lois
OF graft dinners there, and it seemed
turkey and sauce of his anticipations.
But his plans had changed, as they
had often done before. 1t came about
when the brakeman discovered tramp
on the forward truck. Jim became
very much aware of his being located
when the train hand tied a coupling
pin To a rope and allowed the chunk
of iron to drag between the bumpers
of the car. and At WhitesVille. the first
stop. he crawled from under the car,
glad that his head had not been knocked
in by the jumping coupling pin. which
had persisted in bouncing up and down
over the hard rOadbed and among the
brake rods.
As the tramp moved away from the
railroad yard he cautiously glanced
around, fearful that some constable
might see him. but at the same time
thankful to get away from the COM
pany of a bad-minded brakeman He
was also happy because he was not

it.

Fruit Production Figures.

The statistics as TO fruit production
are a distinct disappointment While
the percentage increase during the last
decade has been satisfactory, the
amount Of the product is far below any
preconcefved notions. However, the
number OF bushels of fruit do not show
the growth that has been
made. 1t takes several years for trees
to come into bearing, Comparing the
number of trees at the beginning with
the number at the. end of the decade.
We find a more satisfactory showing
There were six times more apple trees
growing in 1900 than in 1890; the same
increase in number of peach trees; over
twenty times more pear trees, and
twelve times more plum and prune
trees When these trees come into
bearing there should be a more salts
factory showing in fruit production
With a fair field the next United
States census should show, at the same
rate OF increase as during the last de-
cade, something like $4,000. 600
worth of farm products in Utah
The chief factor, OF course, to be FIG
ured on is stability in prices. The next
factor viii be the amount of additional
land brought under cultivation, and
third. improved methods in farming.

to an invitation he seated himself with
