The last legislature based the ap-

apples as the Ben Davis anu the MIS-
souri, Pippin for the healthy condition
of the apple market throughout the
world than to all other causes COM
bined. am in favor of RELOCATING these
apples to the past as soon as we have
better ones that can be produced as
cheaply, but not till then.
But how cheaply can apples be pro-
duced and money be made at the bust
ness? Of course good deal depends
on the variety. The Ben Davis can be
produced more cheaply than any other
variety that know of. So let us take
a good, healthy orchard of that va
riety and do some figuring. A good,
healthy tree ten years old will bear
from 500 to 1000 pounds of saleable
apples. Let us put the average, then,
at $50 pounds. 1t will cost 10 cents to
spray this tree, 10 cents to thin it,
cents to attend to the bands and 6
cents for all other work, such as Gull
tivating, pruning and irrigating. Here,
then, is the sum of 80 cents for the
production of $50 pounds of fruit. Sell
this fruit on the tree for twO-thirds
of cent per pound and you have IS.
Deduct 80 cents and you have $4.7O.
At 80 feet apart you have 80 trees
to the acre. That means that your
Ben Davis trees will net you $235 per
acre, if sold that low One-half that
income will make your orchard worth
81 900 per acre, for you will be getting
over ten per cent on that amount. If
the apples are picked, packed and
hauled to the depot and sold for 60
cents per box the income will be bet
ter than when sold TOR two-thirds of
cent per pound on the trees. AS long
as my apple orchard will net me from
$100 to $500 per acre I shall not die
with the blues.
While in Portland the past winter |
visited my old friend, Frank Watson,
proprietor of Watson's famous restau-
rant of that city. He told me that on
an average he fed one thousand people
daily. He says that for pies he prefers
the Ben Davis apple to any other. Now
it is we'll known that his restaurant is
first-class and that he will have the
best, let it cost what it will. This
statement of his harmonized with
statement published a few years ago
made ten thousand pies per day and
always used Ben Davis apples if they
could be secured. 1t is well known
to house wives that there is scarcely
an apple to be compared with the
old Ben for baking. Most apples turn
dark when baked, but this old favorite
remains white. Score for Ben!
I met friend in Seattle the other
day and we had chat on fruit grow
ing, for he is man of intelligence
and a practical fruit grower. | like to
meet and confer with such men. By
exchanging our views we are learning.
like to see a man who does not
agree with me and honestly contends
for a different view in some things.
This friend frankly told me that he
does not agree with our college pro-
fessors as to the origin Of what is
called "black spot canker" He says
that this disease is not caused by fun

LABOR DECISION.
New York Supreme Court Refuses to
fnjOin Strikes.

New York, Dec. l9.-Justice jerks
of the appellate division of the New
York supreme court, has handed down
decision that an injunction against
organizizing strike cannot stand.
He modified an injunction to prevent
strike which had been issued by JUS
tice Dickey, of the supreme court, in
suit brought by William NJ Mills,
William Nissan and other employers
against the United States Printing
Company, of Ohio, the International
Stereotypers' and Electrotypers' Union
and others, in which the Plaintiffs
asked the court to prevent the union,
from striking to force the printing
companies to discharge nonunion men.
The court held that it could not en-.
join the strike and that the picketing.
which consisted only of stationing
men for observation without molesta.
ton, would be lawful. Justice jerks
says in his decision that "picketing'
may also mean stationaing men to CO.
cree or threaten or intimidate or halt
or turn aside against their will othes
who desire to go into the picketed
place where they wish to work In
that case picketing is unlawful.

ST. Paul. Dec IA tremendous

Features OF Proposed New lrriga.
tjON Law,

Spokane, Dec. l9.-The irrigation
commission of the state met in Spok ane
Saturday and held three sessions, and
will be in session at least two deys
more. 1t has an irrigation code about
completed. which will be presented to
the governor for submission to the leg
islat, re.
The bill will provide for the protec-
ton of the water users against water
companies by making the companies
common carriers and suhjecting them
to state control.
The irrigation of the state will be
placed under the charge of an efficient
engineer, who will in many cases be a
court of appeal. He will have assist
ants, and the state will be dividend in.
to four districts, each of which will
have an irrigation commissioner.
The basic principle of the new law
is that the water belongs to the land
and not to the individual. The storage
of water for irrigation purposes will be
under state authority.

Portland, Or, Dee. l9.-That extern

der the personal direction of President

ment made here ty Col. A. r. Green,

lent land holders. These Investigations
in Washington have been in progress
for sonnet ime, and sensational disclos-
ures are expected by many. Mr.. Green
said:
Started by Roosevelt.
ut is a mistake to attribute this &C
tivity to Secretary Hitchcock. In this
matter Mr.. Hitchcock is only the I'M
flinching instrument of President Roos-
evelt, who personally ordered the in
vestigation shortly after he first learned
of the manner in which public lands
were being wrongfully appropriated on
the Pacific coast two years ago. Spe-
cial agents were sent out to several
Western states. where the work of as
pertaining what had been done and
who had done it was quietly gone
about. Some of these Investigators
were sent to Montana and Washington,
Idaho, California and Oregon. This
investigation has been in progress since
that time"
Only in Oregon have the findings of
these investigators been made public,
and not even in Oregon has the work
been completed. The Montana secret
service men are still at work and the
evidence is being laid before district
attorneys MS fast as collected. 1t has
been thought by many that Oregon
was the first state entered by the secret
service men. This is mistaken idea,
as Montana was the first state in which
investigations were begun.
Though it is not possible for Col.
Green to discuss matters of private
nature it is understood indictments are
soon to be returned in Montana.

CHECK SANE AS WILL.
Supreme Court NadeS Decision of
interest.

uUuGCGSu.
Olympia, Dec. 2O.-The supreme
court has reversed the Judgment of the
superior court of Skagit county in the
case of the State of Washington, re-
spondent, VS.. Frank Phinney, admin
istrator, appellant. The case involved
the right of dying person to dispose
of property prior to death instead of
by will.
The appellant was the administra-
tor and the chief beneficiary of the es
tate of John W. Collins, deceased.
When Collins was on his deathbed and
realized that he was about to die, he
drew check upon the bank for all
the money he had, amounting to
"a 900. This was practically his en-
tire estate, and Phinney paid all ex-
penses of the funeral therefrom. He
was later appointed administrator of
the estate.
The state commenced action to com
pei the escheating of the estate to the
state, Collins having died without
heirs. The superior court decided in
favor OF the state, directing Phinney to
return to the funds of the estate the
amount of the check. less the money
paid out for funeral expenses. Phin-
ney appealed the case to the supreme
court and has secured reversal of
judgment, the higher court holding
that the issuance of check on his
deathbed was as much an expression
of the wish of the deceased as thong h
he had prepared a will.
