planting. In 10 years the trees return 10 boxes or
more each and continue for many years to produce
similar results.
Irrigation insures annual crops where dependence
ON rainfall and natural climatic conditions makes
the crop an uncertainty. Under good system of
irrigation the orchardist has the elements of growth
and development in trees and fruits in his hand
He can direct the formation of the tree and the
fruits as the market demands. BY cultivation and
fertilization, which every fruit grower must under
stand he can produce that which will take precedence
in every fruit market of the country.
Orchard planting insures permanency in income
with but little expense for maintaining the original
acreage Selected trees are easily grown and last
for years Some Of the bearing cherry trees Of Puget
sound have been giving annual crops for the past
quarter of a century, The outlay for machinery
and marketing boxes is never great. Pruning and
spraying the trees require care and prompt atten-
tion but do not represent large cash expenditure
to the acre. There is not great deal of manual
labor in the orchard, A good orchard is certainly
a desirable thing for an old man to possess. Thou
sands of acres remain open for planting if the people
will only accept the opportunities.

MONEY IN FRUIT GROWING.

0rehardists of the Wenatchee valley, in Cehlan
county, are shipping 10 carloads of fruits to mar
ket every day, says the Seattle Intc!ligencer
The shipments consist chiefly of apples and peaches
and are made in large lots to the cities of Mon
tana Minnesota and the Dakotas. Some choice ap-
Piles are sent as far as Winnipeg where they com.
mand good prices. One grower has an orchard Of
% acres in bearing apple trees from which he es-
Inmates his picking for the year at 10000 boxes
These will net at least so cents per box, or over
5000 an acre, after deducting expenses.
Fruit growing offers one of the best opportunities
for success in the horticultural field The Wenat-
chee valley is especially favored because Of CON-
binatOn of soil, climate and water for irrigation
purposes. Many of the marketable fruits can be
harvested from orchards four years after planting

THE AVERAGE LIFE.

When We read where Montaigne, writing soMe-
thing more than three centuries ago. says that at 40
man may well felicitate himself on length of days
and may justly retire to compose his mind for DEATH
we are tempted to moralze upon the exceeding brev-
ty of life in those days of strenuosy and ignorance
of medicine, says the Saturday Evening post. But
what is the average life in our boasted civilization
Why, less than 40 years!
They used to have war and plague. We have ma
chinery, recklessly handled and sundry and divers
selfindulgences in matters of eating and drinking
and drugs that create false hopes and fresh dis
eases in place of those they throttle And the av-
erage life of man remains below 40.
It is curious reflection, isn't it, that at As one
has lived far beyond the averagef And As is still
the heyday of youth, or ought to be-the age at
which man feels that he can trust himself to go
freely about without some older or wiser person
watching him.
But Montaigne's wisdom for three centuries ago
doesn't apply today. Today's 40year-old has no
right to felictate himself On the contrary, he who
is passing away before 40 knows that he has been
cheated out of more than half his life-the better
half ri

GOOD THING FOR THE BOSSES.

We were told during the June campaign that tn,
direct primary law was calculated to take the man
agement of the two political parties out of the hands
of the "bosses" and place it in the hands of tn,
rank and file of the parties. 1t is to be presumed
that the 'bosses" are the men to whom those mos
interested in the parties look for advice.
It would indeed be interesting to know just how
The law will accomplish this object and difficult tc
understand that it win not have the effect of more
thoroughly eliminating the voter from voice in the
affairs of the party to which he belongs 1t is only
reasonable to suppose that each of the parties will
maintain headquarters and rely upon their central
committees to look after the various matters which
need attention.
Now, who will select party candidates. The di-
rect primary law provides that candidates shall
fling petitions with the county clerk, but isn't it
reasonable to suppose that there will be some un-
derstanding beforehand on the part of the men most
active politically! 1t frequently happens, in Multi
nomah as well as in outside counties, that difficulty
experienced in securing candidates For the lucra-
tive Offices there plenty of aspirants but for the
minor Offices candidates are usually scarce Who
viii see to it that these minor Offices are lledi Sure
y somebody must attend to this most important
matter, and quite as surely some committee Of par
tsans will arrange for circulation of the petitions
Of the various asprants for nomination.
This work is indispensable and must necessarily
be done by the central committees Of the two par
ties. The central committees are made up usually
Of one delegate from each precinct in the county,
or where there are large cities in the counties, of
enc delegate from each outside precinct and three
from each city precinct In Clatsop county the COM
mittees are composed of about Is men, of whom nine
the city committeeman attend all the meetings
and arrange for primaries and elections.
1t is plain to be seen that the affairs of the parties
are to be taken out of the hands Of the conventions
This win minimize the number of managers to about
one-twelfth of the number heretofore selecting can
didates The present system of nominating by petit
tion offers no advantage over the old method for
the reason that independent candidates could former
" nominate themselves by petition The old law
hau uue regard I0r Gne rlgnIs Oh thOSe ulSSdLsled
with convention nominations, for it provided that
the nominations of conventions should be filed up
to within Is days of the election. 1t was plainly the
intent to allow dissatisfied members of party to
name opposition candidates.
Heretofore candidates have been selected by con-
ventions made up Of 100 to 125 delegates Now
candidates will be selected by county or city com
mittees made up perhaps of not more than 10 work
ing members As an instance of what "reform" will
do to lift the burden of the "boSSes" from the
shoulders of the poor downtrodden voter, Oregon s
direct primary law is certainly wonderful measure

Henry Weinhard was one of the coasts most pro-
gressive citizens. Perhaps somewhat late in life he
awakened to his duty, but nevertheless his public
spirit manifested itself. He covered Portland with
magnificent business blocks, and in late years did
more than any other three capitalists to build up the
Oregon metropolis. Cities must depend upon the
public spirit of their wealthy men for substantial
growth. Those citizens who amass great fortunes
and keep their money tied up in the banks do not full
fill their mission The men who invest their for
tunes in modern buildings are those to whom the
community owes debts of gratitude. Henry Wein-
hard was one Of those men. He loved his adopted
city and spent his money to assist in its upbuilding
Portland could i'll afford to lose him, and for more
reasons than one his death is to be deplored.

More than 200 vagrants who were brought over
in single band upon one transatlantic steamship
are to be sent back by the Ellis island authorities
Here is a lesson which should convince the ocean
companies that they not now play fast and loose
with our immigration laws as they have been too
ready to do at times in the past says the New York
Tribune 1t would be difficult to exaggerate the
Importance of strictly enforcing the statutes which
prohibit the bringing into the country of the scum
and refuse of other lands The laws are wise and
sound as they stand. Every steamship line must be
forced to respect and obey them. The sending back
to the old world of this gang Of vagrants will in
vove considerable expense to the steamship line
which carried them to Ellis island But it may per-
haps inspire greater caution among the managers of
other vessels, as it ought to do.

BAD MEN MEET AT GUION
John Murphy Was Shot and Fatally
Wounded by M.E.Shores as the
Result of a Spree.

Guion, Ark, Nov. 21.-As the
result, it appears, of a spree, John
Murphy was shot and fatally
wounded here at 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon by NJ. E. Shores. Both
are residents of Stone county.
1t is claimed that the two men
were under the influence of intox-
icating liquors and it is said that
Shores has been fined twice in the
last two weeks for disorderly con-
duct.
Circumstances, as near as dis
cernible, indicate that the blood
letting today was due to the con-
dition of the men at the time.

HARDWARE STORE ROBBED
Unknown Parties Broke Into Haw-
thorne's Store and Stole $loo
Worth of Goods.

Some time during Sunday night
H. f. Hawthorne's hardware
store was entered by unknown
parties and about $3.50 worth of
goods stolen. The goods stolen
consisted of guns, knives and raz-
ors. 1t is not known just how
much they secured, but Mr.. Haw-
thorne places the loss at between
S125 and 5000. Eight or ten guns
are missing and quite a number OF
knives and razors.
The burglars effected an in
trance by removing the panes of
glass from side window.
Harry Cunningham, who came
up from Newport on the Sunday
evening local, was arrested on sus-
picion Monday afternoon. At the
time of his arrest he was lying out
in the woods a short distance be-
low town, and pretended to be
very drunk. He was arrested by
Constable S. w. Clark and brought
to town and placed in the caliboose
for safe keeping. About nine o.
clock Tuesday morning he broke
out of the caliboose, and, although
the officers started in hot pursuit,
he succeeded in evading them and
made good his escape.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS.
Five of the stolen guns were
found secreted in the woods just
below town Wednesday night,
This led to the arrest of Coy
Crosser and four or five of the
missing knives were found on his
person. His trial was set for one
O'Clock yesterday before Squire
Tharp and resulted in his being
over to the grand jury in the sum
of one thousand dollars.

$4,000 FIRE AT RECTOR.

Rector, Ark, Nov. 21.-Rector
was visited last night by the most
destructive fire in its history.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock the cry of
fire. was heard and the people
rushed from the quiet of their
Sunday homes to find the town
ablaze. The fire started in a ware
house at the rear of j. r. Arnold's
store, which carried, among other
things, a large stock of hay. The
extreme dry weather in the
past two months made every
thing burn like a pile of finder,
and the flames, in spite of the We
ry best efforts of hundreds of will
ling volunteers, spread rapidly,
until one entire block of brick
buildings was consumed, with the
exception of three houses. Among
the heaviest loosers are: Joseph
Wolf q Co., general merchandise,
stock and building; Chris Nicely,
clothing and furnishing goods; j.
r. Hafford, drugs; Porter Vance,
confectionery and bakery; King
II. Buy, groceries; J. r. Arnold.
groceries and hardware; d. G.
Moseley & Son, general merchan-
disc; Charles johnson, billiard
and pool room.
The loss on the buildings is COM
plete. Except in three instances
the loss on scock is very great.
1t is estimated today by those in
position to know that the loss on
stocks and buildings will aggre-
gate $4,000. The insurance is
small.

persons will be permitted to wit
ness the hanging.
Owing to the fact that Sheriff
lancaster has refused to grant the
necessary permission. The Jour
nal will have no representative
present to report the affair, and
must rely upon The reports gather
ed as best we can from other
sources.
The editor of The Journal made
a personal application to Sheriff
lancaster Immediately after Cros-
by was convicted and long before
he had made up his list of witness
es, for permission to witness the
execution in order that we might
be able to give our readers bet
ter account of the occurrence, but
Mr.. lancaster has ignored our
request.
The details of the crime for
which Robert Crosby today pays
the death penalty are too we'll
known to need repeating here.
On Thursday evening, Septem-
Der Is, he deliberately shot down
Sheriff Morgan on the streets of
Batesville while Mr. Morgan was
attempting to arrest him on an old
charge of burglary. Crosby, it
will be remembered, narrowly es-
capped being lynched by the enrag-
ed citizens of the county, but cool
er heads prevailed, and the mob
of angry citizens were persuaded
to allow the law to take its course.
On Sunday, October 8, Crosby
made a daring escape from Jail,
but was recaptured before he got
out of the city limits and again
placed behind the bars. The talk
of lynching him was again revlv-
ed, but extra guards were placed
about the jail and Crosby was
bound in chains, hand and foot.
These extra precautions to prevent
his further escape somewhat APP
peased the wrath of an outraged
citizenship and no further at
tempts were made to lynch him.

HOT SPRINGS TRAIN
WRECKED AT SWIFTON
Crashed Into Heavily Loaded
Freight Tuesday Morning.
Engine Badly Injured and Fireman
Killed, but Passengers Escape
Serious Injury.

The Hot Springs Special, train
No. II on the Iron Mountain, was
wrecked at Swifton, Is miles
north of Newport, Tuesday morn
ing at 5:45
Engineer Andrew De CURE was
badly injured and fireman Harry
Wells was buried beneath the
wreckage and instantly killed.
only eight passengers were SER
iously injured, which seems almost
miraculous, as the train was rum
ming 60 miles an hour when the
accident occurred.
The wreck was caused by the
passenger smashing into a freight
which was taking the sidetrack for
No. II to pass, and was the result
of the dense smoke from the for
est fires which oyerhung that vic
Unity. The freight was a few min
utes late in making the siding, and
brakeman walked up the track
to signal the oncoming passenger.
but the density of the smoke OBJ
scured his lantern, and No. II
dashed by him at the rate of go
miles an hour and crashed in the
freight, only few cars of which
were still on the main line.
The passenger engine and four
coaches and ten freight cars were
demolished. To add to the horror
of the occasion the wreckage took
fire and the entire passenger train,
except the two sleepers which did
not leave the track, was consul med
by the flames.
1t is said to have been one of the
worst wrecks on this road in
years, and the loss is estimated at
| 500. 900.
