j. NJ. Brown.-Yesterday Tuesday,
| sold on the trees an acre of apples for
$3.50 cash. One remarkable fact con-
nected with the case is that the trees
were set out only six years ago, and my
experience back east showed that in
that section they would not yet be in
bearing. | have figured the price re-
ceived would have paid big rate of
interest on $4,000, after counting all

fifteen acres in Fairview, and at the
same proportion, if 1 had the entire
tract in apples | would have received
$1,000 for the product. OF course the
balance of the land has been under cult
walton, but the crop has been sold in
small quantities and therefore | have
not paid much attention to the receipts
therefrom, but the receipts from the one
acre, coming in bunch, set me to
thinking. Talking about an investment,

!, WHAT PEOPLE SAY. !

L. L. Sessions (Undertaker)-It has
been remarked that there are an UNI
usual number of deaths in this locality
this year. 1t might surprise some of
for comparison, to find that as a health
full place Yakima is all that is claimed
for it. 1 have studied the report of the
state health officer, and find there the
statement that Seattle last month had
l76 deaths. Yakima county 10. We
claim to draw business from a popula
ton of say 10000 people. Seattle has a
population of 100000, or five times as
great as Yakima county. Now if our
death rate was proportionately as great
we would have had to report five times
10 or 95. That in itself is good show
ing for the healthfulness of this climate
But here is another fact our people lose
sight of, and that is the large percent
age of people who come here in the last
stages of consumption or tubercular
troubles to find relief, but, alas, are be-
yond the aid of either climatic helpful
ness or that of the physician. Such, if
they had come in the beginning of the
disease, would doubtless have found re-
lief.
Of nine successive interments that we
had, seven were non-residents who came
here seeking relief from lung affections,
but Yakima gets the credit. Los An
geles and other California health resorts
have had the same distasteful advertis-
ing to contend with. If we had our own
people from which to draw support,
am afraid this firm would have to seek
another less healthful place in which
to do business.

c. c. Case-It is of course a great
misfortune for Aberdeen to have met
with such a serious loss by fire. Indeed,
the result seems to have nearly totally
destroyed the town; but l see that the
people are already making arrangements
to rebuild on much more substantial
basis. | predict for Aberdeen great
future, and think that within ten wears
she will be connected as one city with
Hoquiam. only four miles distant. This
section should be greatly interested in
the improvement of Gray's Hafbor, as it
is destined to be great shipping point
and seaport. The next railroad through
to the coast will probably be built
through Cowlitz pass and have its ter
minal at Aberdeen, as it has been dem
onstrated that the route is the most
feasible of any yet unoccupied, and
would run through a rich farming and
and heavily timbered country, not to
mention coal and minerals in the Cas-
cades.

New York, March 26.-Rev. DIR.
Lyman. Abbott somewhat startl id
his hearers at a Methodist minis
ter's meeting by propounding some
of those religious theories that he
has elaborated in his book, "The
Theology Of an EvoIutionist." The
Bible, according to DR.. Abbott, is
merely record of human religious
experiences.
81 have respect for the old the.
ology," he said, "and today I can
not doubt that the change from the
old to the new method of thinking
in religion is important, radical
and revolutionary. Thetypical de-
parture is the recognition of what
was once called the carpenter the
ory of Gods creation OF the world
the belief of the religion, that the
earth was turned out as in a lathe.
''The bible is not book in which
so or 80 writer's tell what religion is,
but it is record of their religious
experiences, a record of their con-
sciousness of God. They were hu-
man, they were imperfect men,
those who wrote the Bible. They
stumbled as we stumble"

Oregon and later married Lewis

years, and although she was much
devoted to home duties she formed
an extensive acquaintance that was

Mrs. Pond possessed in a marked
degree.

The "North Coast Limited train op-

Northern Pacific, has proven so popular
that the train was continued this winter
instead of being taken off the run as
during the previous two years. The
travelling public learned that they could
travel on this train just as cheaply as
they could on any other, and once its
popularity became established, the COM
pany found that they could hardly get
along without continuing 1t in operation.
1t is an eight car train, electric lighted
throughout, steam heated and solid yes

THE BRUCE ROUTE.
How Uncle Sam Keeps Things Straight
"A Complaint and Its Sequel.

Recently the TIMES printed a
short article relative to complaints
of subscribers of alleged irregular
tiles in the delivery IF the paper
on the Bruce mail route. The sc
quel thereto. shows with what
magnificent patience and what in
.tini, care and watchfulness, Uncle
Sam conducts his postoA6ce and
mail routes. The story that is to
follow, explains why it is that mil
lions and millions of letters and
postal cards, and tons AMI tons of
mail matter are daily handled in the
country. and that everysletter fluids
its way unerringly to its destina-
ton. almost exactly on time. If
dropped in the New York or Boston
m Ill boxes in the afternoon, un-
less snow b1ockades or foods pre-
vent railroad trains from travelling
on time, letter will be delivered
to It's owner from the Corvallis
posrofice on the sixth day there
after. How such a numberless
multitudeof letters passing through
so many hands are daily and hour
ly handled and practically always
without slip, seems in explicable,
yet it is in part explained by what
follows.
The article referred to above, re-
lating to the Bruce mail route was
as follows:
Many complaints are lodged in the
TIMES office about delay in delivery of
the paper along the Bruce mail route.
Each Wednesday and each Saturday
morning regularly at eight to half past
eight, the TIMES for that and other
outside routes is put in the Corvallis post
office. There is never an exception to
this rule, and there is absolutely no ex-
cuse why subscribers along the Bruce
route should not find the TIMES in their
mail boxes the same afternoon, instead
of from one to three days later as is
charged as having often happened. The
TIMES does not attempt to fix the fault,
save to say that the trouble IS with the
mail, and there is no excuse whatever
| for it.
In furthering the completeness
| of his postofice and mail organi-
cation, it seems that Uncle Sam
keeps constant lookout for COM
plants either in the press or other
wise. In Portland there is bu-
reau that reads the newspapers and
clips and sends to persons who pay
small fee, all mention of them or
their business. Uncle Sam has ar
rangements with this bureau to
supply him with mention of the
,postof6ce department. By this
bureau the above complaint was
sent to H. B. Thrail, supsrin-
1tendent eighth division, r. M. S.,
at San Francisco, February 10Th,
he forwarded the clipping indorsed
as follows:
Respectfully referred to Chief Clerk,
R, M. S., Portland, Oregon, for your in
formation and necessary attention.
February 18th, F. E. Whitney,
chief clerk at Portland, sent the
papers forward endorsed as fol-
lows:
