AGED Twins.

East Machias claims to be the
birthplace of the oldest living twins,
Daniel F. Gardner and Hannah F.
(Gardner) Parker, born January %,
1925. Mrs. Parker is the wife of John
w. Parker of Spring street, Portland
Me-, active, energetic, able to do all
her own house work, and still young
at heart, if not in years. Her brother
Daniel, although a resident of East
Machias nearly all his life, moved to
Augusta, after the death of his wife,
in 1895. and makes his home with his
children, three daughters, having mar
ried Augusta lawyers-the Hon. H.
NJ. Heath, Charles J.. Andrews, and
Orrin A. Tuell Although a Califor-
MIA |'forty-niner" and a lumber opera
tor in Washington County for many
years, he is as erect in figure, rugged
in health, and carries himself as
sturdily. in spite of his eighty years,
as most men of forty, and until within
a year or two has been able to read
without glasses. Every day finds him
busy. for he prefers to wear out rath-
er than rust out. These twins can
trace their ancestry in a direct line
from Thomas Gardner, 'overseer," of
the colony called the Planters Com
pany." which settled at Salem, Mass,
in 1923, among whose descendants
are many of the wealthiest and most
influential citizens of New England

his feet and felt himself all over to see
ii he was injured. The parson also
got to his feet.

AMERICAN PRUNES.
The Growth of Production and Our
Export Needs.

The Growth of Production and Our
Export Needs.
In the United States 10O,00O,O0O
pounds of prunes are eaten yearly.
Prior to 1886 the supply came almost
wholly from France and the Danubian
provinces and sold Under the desig-
nation of French" or Turkish"
prunes. In the year referred to,
prunes of American growth appeared
on the market and with each succeed
ing year the supply has increased I'M
til the importation of foreign fruit
has been reduced to extremely small
proportions. Much the larger portion
of the prune supply is from the south
ern part of California, where china
tic peculiarities are extremely favor
able for it's production. In Santa
Clar county alone there are 100000
trees growing. on $4,000 acres-lOO
to the acre The quantity of primes
somewhat exceeds 110,0000O0 pounds
more than enough for the require
ments of the whole country but the
excess, with that raised in other To-
calities, is needed to supply the ex-
port demand from Great Britain, Ger
many and France. The first plum
trees planted 40 years ago in Cali
fornia were shoots from the Petite"
and ''Epineuse" varieties from
France. The original varieties have
been greatly improved upon
Ten thousand trays of fruit spread
out in one unbroken tract may be
seen in Santa Clara in the drying
season. When sufficiently cured the
prunes are stored in separate bins
and there allowed to sweat" this
process taking from ten to twelve
days, when they are ready for mar

PANORAMA OF ACTIVITY,
An Unusual Condition in the Prosper
GUS Northwest.

The farmers of the Northwest are
staggering under the biggest crops that
section has witnessed in years. Further
more, the industrial and mercantile pros
perity is wonderful. Not city or ham
let in Minnesota or the two Dakotas is
exempt from the prosperous conditions.
In all the cities there is remarkable
amount of building in progress, and as
far as the eye can see from the railway
train the prairie country is dotted thick
ly with grain and hay stacks. From al!
appearances, South Dakota will produce
a big yield of all kinds of grain this
year. This wheat is averaging well and
yields run from 10 to so bushels per
acre. The delayed frost has greatly in
creased the corn crop and there is not
a county in the Northwest that will not
produce a free crop of corn.
On all sides the thrashers are busy
and the entire country presents a pam
Drama of activity. 1t will require all
the winter and next spring to dispose
of this falls enormous yield of crops
in South Dakota. The crop of wheat
alone will certainly aggregate 100000
bushels, not including the big yield of
maccaroni wheat. South Dakota alone
has an area of 10000 square miles
more than 100000 acres-and is larg-
er by fourth than the combined area Of
the New England States. For the past
seven consecutive years it has led all
others i'll the production of wealth per
capita, the State report for 1904 being
S14S, 956, GG3, or estimated at 100000
population, $29791 for each man. woman
and child. 1t is Il remarkable fact that
people are pouring into the Northwest
SO fast to acquire lands and to engage
in business that the railways ave taxed
to find accommodations Trains are full
to OVERLOOKING, It being difficult to find
seats.
People are for once too busy for poll
tics. The farmer is strictly in it this
year, and he faces big crops on his own
and neighbors' lands, good prices and
increased valuation of his farm property.
1t is no uncommon thing to find men
who have paid for their land with the
sale of their crop this or last year.
