apples reach an age and size to need
the space.
From an orchardist's standpoint
there are fortunes to be made In Ell
berta peaches. The crop is practic-
ally certain, and it strikes the Eastern
market after the Southern peach crop
is gone Georgia, Texas and MISSOURI
and before the Northern crop (M1ch1-
gan and New York; have any yellow
peaches on the market.
The Elberta peach, on account of its
abundant yield, magnificent appear
ance and fine shipping qualities, has
been a source of profit and pleasure to
both grower and shipper.
This year they are selling through
out the. Yakima valley at about
cents a pound. A tree three years
old will frequently yield five or six
boxes of twenty pounds each, and at
four years are at full bearing.
If properly pruned and cultivated
they will continue to bear in this coun-
try for twenty years, which is very
different from conditions in the East,
where the tree is past its prime at
ten years old.
All the deciduous fruits grow per-
fectly and mature in this district. Our
winters, though mild, are too severe
for the citrus fruits. Grapes of all
varieties do well-the Concord and
hardy northern varieties, as well as
the Black Hamburg, Tokay and other
European kinds. Cherries, apricots,
pears, plums, prunes, ounce and many
varieties of the nuts, are easily pro-
duced.
All kinds of small fruits yield enor-
mously, and the local markets OF the
Northwest have never yet been fully
supplied. Profits realized by people
who give attention to those things
seem fabulous.
Celery, rhubarb, asparagus, etc., Of
fer great inducements to the gardner.
A great opening is here for dollhouse
to grow cucumbers, lettuce, radishes,
etc., for winter markets. Two to three
dollars a dozen can be depended upon
for cucumbers, and other prices in pro-
potion.
Owing to the mild winter climate
and prevailing sunshine the conditions
at Prosser for this institution are I'M
surpassed.

This has been a particularly sad end

commenced to bloom and blossom in
our midst. With success he was be-
coming known to every one in the COM

team last week to make the trip to
Augusta he was in perfect health.
His first attack of dumb chills took
place there, and for two successive
days he suffered. On the third day
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-06-23

there were symptoms of little i'm
provement. When they all came home
he was in excellent health and spirits.
He was to l better than he was on
the last day in Augusta, and he was
permitted to leave with the team
again for the trip to Jacksonville,
though many had misgivings.
The first two days proved that the
fears were we'll founded. He was not
only i'll when he went there. but he
was assaulted by every member of the
Jacksonville team, until he was at the
point of death. There was much con-
Germ over his condition Sunday and
paeans of joy were sent aloft when
he braced up and declared he was three
times better than on the first two
days
Then friend, comes the sad story
from that city in which they claim
such health. Macon. There the light
failed. There the tears were shed with
out avail, and with no sympathetic
onlookers to speak soft, comforting
words
Dust it was. to dust it returned.
And yet those impulsive beings from
Columbia will not forget that we as
sisted in the downfall of their priced
hope, and in the midst of our troubles
are right here again to add to our
griefs.
The services this afternoon will COM
mence promptly at 4:45, Mr.. Bailey
officiating.

Columbia. S. c.. June 22.-Columbia
defeated jacksonville this afternoon by
a score of I to 2. Jones of Chatta-
nooga pitched his first game for the To-
calls and made a favorable impression.
In the sixth inning, as Columbia was
coming in from the field and Jackson
VILE players were going out, Player
Curran caught Shortstop Thornton
around the waist, and wether playful
ly or maliciously, threw the Columbia
player hard to the ground, breaking his
shoulder.
Immediately the spectators from the
grand stand and bleachers rushed into
the field and threatened to do violence
to Curran. Thornton pleaded with the
crowd not to injure Curran, and it was
only after hard work on the part of
the police and some of the players that
the, Infatuated crowd desisted and re-
turned to their places in the stands.
Curran was allowed to finish out the
inning, and was then put out of the
game by Manager Kelley. who took his
place in the field. Curran went to the
bench, where he remained until Jack
sonville started in the field for the sew
enth inning. Thinking Curran was go
ing into the game again, the specta-
tors again rose and Missed the Jack
sonville player. He did not stop at his
place in the field, but continued run
ming. going out of the ground through
the back gate.
Immediately after the game the di-
rectors of Columbia held a special
meeting at which Player Currans ac-
ton was denounced, and the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
and telegraphed to President Boyer:
Under Article 10. Section 2, the CO.
lumbia League Baseball Association en-
tiers formal charges against Player
Curran of the Jacksonville club for
breaking the shoulder of Player Thorn
