Pay" r. w Shropshire. of Whitewa-
ter, Colorado, stated that his orchards
pay. and pay well. too. He had thirty
acres last season and realized $1,000.

proper care" he said The raising of
any kind Of fruit requires the same at
iention as the raising OF child. The
orchards must receive good attention"
A most important topic OF the after

the smaller fruit"

arrangement should be made by the
fruit growers whereby their product
could be sold direct and avoid the ne
cessity OF being handled by middle
man. Some OF the smaller commission

al Live Stock Association yesterday
elected F. ]. Hagenbarth of Utah presi-
dent. H. A. Jastro of California and
Francis Stewart of South Dakota, vice
presidents c. f. Martin. secretary. and
George l.. Goulding. treasurer.
Denver was selected for the next an
nual convention.
With the feeling that one OF the
most important meetings in the his
tory of the organization was ended and
that much was accomplished that will
be for the future success of the live
stock business. the seventh annual con-
vention of the National Live Stock As
sociaton adjourned this afternoon to
meet in Denver next year. The unan-
imous opinion of those in attendance
upon this convention is that a more
successfunl and more pleasant conven-
ton has never been held.
From the opening session OF the Ma
uonal Wool Growers Convention TO
the closing of the live stock mems or
ganization, unity and harmony have
characterized every action. With this
feeling prevailing, the work of the con-
vention was easily accomplished.
Many important questions have been
considered. the more important being
the public lands relative to grazing, the
relation of railroads to the stock in
dustry, and. most important of all. the
establishment of independent packing
houses. This has been the watchword
of almost every session.

chicaso Sits In Darkness.

Chicago. Jan. 16.-Thousands Of pas
sengers on incoming trains here Mon
day were startled by sudden plunge
into midnight darkness. The transi-
tion from broad daylight seemed as
immediate and complete as II the
rush was made into tunnel under a
mountain.
The blackness extended in circle
from the center OF tine city, the radius
being distance of several miles. The
duration was over an hour. Unusual
atmospheric conditions, aggravated
by smoke. were generally accepted as
the cause.
The phenomenon was accompanied
by fall of snow. while a pail OF i'm
penetrable appearing sable cloud en-
veloped all thoroughfares and build
ings. Street car and wagon traffic
was considerably hampered. Even
greater difficulty was encountered by
the throngs of pedestrians who strug-
gled as best they could along the slip
perry walks, in the absence Of street
lamps.
