A GREAT APPLE CROP.
The Product of Canon City ORCH
ards Likely to Excel ESQ Car
Loads this Season-FairIy Good
= Prices to Prevail.

Despite the discouraging predictions
made by some of our orchardists last
spring in consequence Of the late frosts
the apple crop of the Canon City dis
trict this year is one of the largest and
most satisfactory in its history As
the major part of the fruit has been
gathered it is possible to make fairly
accurate estimate of its volume, and to
report definitely upon its quality,
which all agree is superior in size,
firmness, flavor and color to anything
heretofore produced in this section Of
the state.
The prodigality of the crop has been
a surprise to many of the best informed
people of the community, and indica-
tions are that it will aggegate about
two hundred and fifty car loads, or
between 125, 900 and 10000 bushels of
marketable apples. which is about fifty
car loads in excess of the amount har-
vested last season. The heavier yield

during the past summer is attributed
chiefly to the exceptional rainfall dur
ing the period of growth, which de-
stroyed many of the insects that prey
upon the fruit and foliage besides prov
ing valuable supplement to the work
OF irrigation.
The quality of the fruit has also been
improved by more thorough spraying
of the trees and by the use of more
effective chemical solutions for that
purpose. The increased care and at
tention bestowed upon their orchards
by Canon City apple growers has dem
onstrated the wisdom of more inten-
sive farming, and but few Of them re-
main who do not advocate q cultivation
of the soil about the trees as a means
Of promoting their growth and OF
affording stimulus to their fruitage.
New facts are being made known in
horticulture every year and by taking
advantage of these discoveries fruit
growers are enabled to obtain more
gratifying results than was the case
under the imperfect methods Of culti-
walton in vogue few years ago.:
There is one thing about Canon
City apple orchard that is not generally
known to people living away from here,
and that is there are no failures in the
crop. In other states ft is dependent
upon a score Of contingencies that do
not have to be taken into account in
the Arkansas valley. OF course. some
years the production Of fruit is greater
than it is others, but anything sp-
preaching failure has not been known
among orchardists in this section since
the settlement of the country.
In what are considered our worst
seasons an apple orchard, which is in
fair bearing condition, will yield the
grower an annual revenue Of about
one hundred and fifty dollars per acre
above all expenses, II properly handled.
Taking the last five or six years and
averaging the productiveness Of a
dozen OF more orchards which have for
that length of time remained Id the
same hands and it will be found that
they have paid . net profit to their
owners of more than two hundred and
fifty dollars per acre. Last season,
when the prices of apples here were
probably rs low a. they have been at
any time during the last decade and
when the eastern production was
enormous, several orchards conducted
on business principles. where the own
ers knew the exact cost Of their crop,
returnee . net profit Of three hundred
dollars an acre.
The demand for Colorado grown
apples this year is likely to be better
than 1t was last season and growers will
profit by the improved market con-
ditions. 1t is impossible, Of course, to
state with any degree Of accuracy what
the ruling prices will be for the various
grades and varieties Of apples during
the next three months, but thst there
will be q material advance is not 4
subject that need awaken any specula-
tion. Local as well as eastern deslers
are convinced that growers will get .
fair price for their fruit this year snd
orchardists generally will hold onto
their crop in anticipation Of an advance
over present quotations.

evening, which contained some forgot
ten facts in favor of the scheme in con-
temptation. When he took it to the Of
fee next day he met Tower, to whom
by way of encouragement he mention

"Why do you waste time with re-

Miller's opinion was somewhat shak-
en-, and, to be brief about it, he was
led to lay the matter before Stella
Wright, who strongly urged action. A
rapid and exciting conversation occur
red between them, and 1t left very
confused impression on Miller's mind,
but after long period of meditation
late at night he decided that the love
of his life depended upon old Samuel
Westcott's decision; that Stella would
marry him if he carried the day.
Thus urged TO action. he went down to
the office next morning and had a long
and earnest talk with Westcott, who
in reply said only this: Il didn't know
you We're so desperate about it. I'll
look into the matter a bit deeper, l
guess"
Miller went away with fear in his
heart. When he returned to the Office

He had not the courage to face West

of Stella Wright. He had wild idea
of Offering his hand to her in the midst
of this great wreck of his hopes. If she
should speak one kind word to him.
then he would feel that he could face

He met Stella in the hall of the
boarding house. She had little black

the parlor. "Pll be back In jiffy."
Impulsively he raised her hand to his
lips. Then he went into the parlor and
waited. but Stella's "jiffy" was long
time. The supper bell rang and still
she had not come.
Il wonder what has happened TO
Mrs. Wright" he asked of the land
lady, who came sailing through the
parlor in her supper time gown.
Mrs. Wrights gone" said that lady.
"Gone!" echoed Miller.
Her trunk was taken this after

gram from the east"
"She has left town? 1t can't be pos
sible" exclaimed Miller.

lady as she hustled away toward the
dining room.
"Mr. Westcott wants to see you"
said IA voice.

boy to Westcott's house.

COLONEL LYNCH Is FREE.
Sir Thomas Upton Obtains Releas

London, Jan. 26.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch. who commanded the Irish bri'
gade against the British forces during
the war in South Africa and who was
afterward convicted Of treason and
sentenced to imprisonment for lie,
has been liberated ION license. Lynch
has not received the royal pardon.
The liberation of Colonel Lynch Is
the outcome Of m interesting series
of events. When Michael Davitt was
last in the United States he saw
President Roosevelt, who mentioned
Colonel Lynch to him, saying he had
once entertained him at Albany. The
president expressed great interest In
the case and regretted he could not
suggest clemency without laying HIM
self open to a palpable snub. On his
return to England Mr.. Davitt mention
ed his conversation with President
Roosevelt to Sir Thomas Upton and
to Mrs. Lynch, who has suffered bit
terly since her husbands arrest. he
also made a pathetic appeal to Sir
Thomas. who then personally inter
ceded with King Edward on behalf OF
