More About Apple Trees.
Cresco, Ia. (, Jan. 1, 1908

Cresco, Ia, Jan. 1, 1908
Ed. Public Opinion =
In the last issue Of your aper, l
see one, D. Price gives us some point
ers OH apple raising. Also the state
ments that made were theory. Will
Mr.. p be so kind as to visit my place
before passing Judgment again, and l
will try to convince him that what
said in regard to varieties, is theory
practiced over forty years. l will
take him to orchards that | set out
over thirty years ago, and the past
season were loaded with fruit. In
regard to quality l was not requested
to name the best eating apple grown.
Mr.. p should realize that he is recon-
mending list for Ohio or New York,
but not for Iowa or Minnesota, and
it does not surprise US that the or
chards Mr.. Price speak of die in a
few years. Tie Talman Sweet is re-
ferred to as the best variety grown.
While it is the hardest of any lie
names it is only tree of third degree
in hardness, and not advisable to
plant only on favorable locations.
Mr.. Price asks if l can give any
theory, why orchards die in few
years after setting. My theory is that
they are poor trees of some of these
varieties, named for quality. If Mr..
Price will admit that it is as cold in
Minnesota as in Iowa, will refer
him to one, Mitchner, of Cherry
Grove, Mimi. that has twelve acre
orchard, that was planted over forty
years ago, and he still ships many
car loads of apples. And the trees
are still in good condition.

BARRIERS AT HOTEL
 MORRIS ON STRIKE
GUS ADAMS, THE PROPRIETOR, WOULD NOT AccEDE TO DE- MANp FOR INCREASED PAY-HE SAYS HE PAID ENOUGH.

The efhployes of the Hotel Morris barber shop, which is conducted by Gus Adams. are out on a strike, and have been caus- ing considerable inconvenience to pa- irons of the shop
 The employees are members of the local colored barbers' union. and at recent meeting of the union it was voted to strike for 60 per cent of the proceeds of work done. Heretofore they have always received 50 per cent.
 All the proprietors of coiored shops in the city granted the increase except Gus Adams. and he says he will teach them lesson."
 He says his men were making more money at 50 per cent than they could make anywhere else at 60 per cent. and he couldn't afford to let them have all his profits.
 Adams has a good trade and was doing his best yesterday to handle 1t alone. He says he will have some more barbers on hand.

Wards offer to resign from the board the matter would be dropped and Alderman Ward would continue to serve on the board as representative of the people of the Second ward.
 Alderman Ward did not care to discuss the situation He made a statement that he desired to retire from politics and from the board of aldermen so that he might devote his entire time to business. He said he would resign If the members of the board would agree to elect in his place some one who would be selected by the voters of his ward in the second primary.

B.R. &P. COMPANY'S
 GENERAL MANAGER
DAVID A. BELDEN, WHO IS TO SUc- CEED GENERAL MANAGER GEO. H. DAVIS, IS NOW IN NEW YORK CITY.

While there has been no official an- nouneement of the appointment of David A. Belden as general manager of the Blr- mngham Railway, Light and Power company vice George II. Davis. re- signed on account of II health. local of ficals of the companyF accept as true the report which came from Atlanta Friday to the effect that MT. Belden had been selected for the position. He was in Bir- mingham last week but Is now in New York President Jemlson Is in the eosc but will return tomorrow.
 The Atlanta News made the inaccurate statement that the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company Is controlled by H. M. Atkinson and P. s. Arkwrlght of Atlanta. The fact Is that while these gentlemen are stockholders in the eom- pany, the securities are widely distribut- ed. Perhaps the largest individual holder of stock and bonds Is Isadoro Newman of New York and New Orleans.

MRS. J. c. DICKINSON DIES FROM
 WOUNDS AND NERVOUS SHOCK
BURGLARS OPEN SAFE
 AND GET ABOUT $4OO

A number of partitions separating the safe into compartments were taken out and some of them more or less injured. It is estimated that the burglars must have worked two or three hours on the job, and it seems a wonder that they we're not discovered. The burglary is one of the boldest committed in Birming- ham recently.
 The buggy company building Is only a block from the main business portion of the city, and a bright electric light hangs on the corner. It is just across from the Jefferson theatre and one of the corners much frequented at night. The front of the store has large amount of glass in 1t, and it seems the burglars could easily have been seen while at work.
 The Job seems to be the work of ex- perienced hands.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-03-08

Burglars entered the building of the Birmingham Buggy company at Second avenue and Seventeenth street Thursday night and secured about $4OO in checks and cash, a number of lap robes and two entire sets of harness. The checks and cash were In a small drawer in the safe, the combination of which was worked and the inside torn out almost completely by the burglars.
 The entrance was effected through the back window, which was broken open. The burglars then gained entrance to the office. which is on the corner. After get ting inside the safe doors the small door protecting the cash drawer baffied them They used a cold chisel and succeeded in breaking the hinges of this door The door, which is of chilled steel and about an eighth of an inch thick. was badly scared and indented where the burglars hacked at 1t.
