STORY OF THE APPLE.
Some Official Figures in Regard to
the Production of One Small
Orchard.

This week the Laborer was iu-
formed by Mr.. Hubbard, the ex-
act number of boxes of apples
produced on he Gillette place on
Surface Creek mesa. Mr. Hub
bard bought the crop and there
was 1864 boxes of good apples
for which Mr.. Gillette received
$9,158. There were also some
$500 boxes of apples which were
allowed to freeze on the trees,
and which were disposed of for
500, making a total of S9,258 re-
ceived tor the 1905 crop.
This crop was produced from
ten year old trees of which there
were 1900, occupying 16 acres of
land.
u Mrs. Gillette offered the place
three years ago for $4,000 with no
takers. The last two years the
place has brought total of 81 900
for rent.
The apples consisted of three
varieties, Jonathaus, Ben Davis
and Ganos, every other tree being
a Jonathan.
The above figures will give peo-
pie contemplating going into the
orchard business, food for thought
as to the possibilities of the fruit
business in Delta county. An
orchard ten years old that will
produce over $500 worth of fruit
to the acre is not an uncommon
feature of the apple business of
this section.

Her First urkey.

1t was the day before Thanks
giving, Mrs. Rays first one as the
mistress of a home. Mary, the
cook, had been hurriedly called
away by the sickness OF her
mother. Fortunately, the des-
serts had already been made.
But there was the turkey to be
stuffed and roasted.
Mrs. Ray before her marriage
had been teacher of embroidery
and she knew very little about
cooking. She did not feel we'll
enough acquainted with the
neighbors to ask them how to
prepare the turkey.
With determined air she went
into the kitchen, put on Mary's
big blue g;ngham apron, rolled
up her sleeves and with a shud-
der attacked the turkey.
No cook book could be found,
so the stufting had to be made
from an original recipe.
After the stuffing was made
and coaXed into the turkey, the
question arose how to keep it
there during the roasting. Mrs.
Ray was sorely puzzled. Then a
happy thought came to her. She
made two buttonholes, sewed on
pearl buttons, and buttoned the
stuffing in.-Youths Companion.

The Delineator begins the New

PRESIDENT ISLANDS PAT.
In Spite of Vigorous Protests the
President Insists That Grazing
Fees Must be Paid.

The matter of charging stock
men a grazing fee for their privi-
leges may be considered definite
ly settled. Senator Patterson
made a gallant fight for free
ranges but was turned down.
The President sends Secretary
James Wilson an unequivocal
note approving the policy OF a
tax and it will stand. While we
realize that many cattlemen think
the tax an unjust one we cannot
help but feel that it is the proper
thing for all concerned. We be-
lieve that like the forest reserve
it is a thing that will become
more popular as the people un-
derstand it bettet. In its pro-
visions we see stop put to the
range wars that have caused SO
much blood shed. The friction
between sheep men and COW men
will cease. Cattle rustling will
become less and less a thing to
calculate on.
Above all it will be another ex-
ample of government ownership
in a small way. If the conditions
do improve, as we firmly expect,
il will demonstrate anew that the
strong governmental hand can
regulate and control for the bene-
fit of all. We regard the Presi-
dents note to his Secretary SO
clear and lucid that we reprint it
that all our readers may consider
il in all its statements:
1.-The White House, Washington,
"Dec. 81, 1905.
NV Dear Mr.. Secretary-I have re-
ceiyed your letter of December 20.
cordially approve OF the policy you
are carrying on. Your effort is to
keep the grazing lands in the forest
reserves for the use of the stockInen,
and especially the small stockmen
who actually live in the neighbor-
hood OF the reserves. To prevent the
waste and destruction of the re-
serves and to keep them SO that they
can be permanently used by the
stockmen no less than by the public
YOU have to spend n certain amount
of money. Part of this money is to
be obtained by charging n small fee
for each head of stock pastured on
the reserve. Less than n third of
the actual value OF the grazing is at
present charged, and it is, of course,
perfectly obvious that the man who
pastures his stock should pay some
thing for the preservation of that
pasture. He gets all the benefit of
pasture and he pays for its use but
n small fraction of the value that 1t
is to him: and this money is I'm re-
ality returnad to him because II is
used in keeping the forest reserve
permanently available for use. You
this year make n special reduction
by which the ranchmcn pay but half
rates. This Is in accordance with
the steady policy OF your depart
ment as regards the Western lands,
which is to favor, in every possible
way, the actual homemaker, the
man who himself tills the soil or him
self rears and cares for his little

MURDER OF BOY
LEADS TO RACE WAR
Shooting Of Elsht-Yesr-old Lad by Ne,
proes Results OF Much Blood
shed In Chicago.

Chicago. Chicago is threatened
with race war Of serious proportions.
Embittered by the shooting OF Enoch
Carlson, an eight.yearold boy, last
week by two negroes. the residents in
the vicinity OF Twenty-ninth and Dear
born streets have armed themselves
and clashes between white and col
ored men have become so frequent
since the Carlson murder that 1t has
been found necessary to detail scores
OF policemen in the district to pre-
serve peace Even this precaution has
been unsuccessful in keeping the op.
posing factions apart.
In a riot that broke out in this dis
trict Sunday night between the whites
and the blacks James Gray, colored,
was killed, Harry Bernstein was NOR
tally wounded and building in which
Bernstein was being held a captive,
suffering from four bullet wounds, was
stoned and partially wrecked by mob
OF 1000 persons. The trouble started
when James Gray accused Bernstein
and white companion of being trou-
BILE makers. Since the transfers
strike Gray has been employed by
coal company as driver. The merits
OF the strike and the shooting OF young
Carlson were up for discussion. Angry
words soon led to blows and In the
fight that followed Gray drew knife
and attacked the men. Bernstein, who
is bartender, drew a revolver, and
fred four shots. Two OF the bullets
took effect in Gray's body. He fell un'
conscious and died while being re-
moved to hospital.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration Of Homes.

DcCOTdtlOn "
The styles Of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and II is pleasant to say mat
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrOus
patterns printed on paper against our
walls. and considered them more or
less pleasantly. II would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better ef.
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint or Of kalsomine or OF Ala
bastine- whatever the material used
TO cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as well as permanency and
beauty OF color Alabastine, a wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means hard white rock-is
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe-
drals and churches, have perma-
nency and an art OF which wall paper
is but a cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach OF the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. II does not rub on, and 1t
has the soft effect OF psstelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating OF their rooms not only
because OF the expense but because
Of the discomfort OF II. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss. for all that is
needed is to lay sheet or canvas on
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush II on the wall. That is all there
Ia to It, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.

In JOHANNESBURG.

johannesburg as a town surprises
and disappoints," writes a South Az
rican traveller. ut has been put up
in hurry and is mostly built Of cor.
rugated iron. There are finished
buildings, mostly Of stucco, and innu-
merable shanties. There are wide
streets, but they are all dusty. Com.
missioner street is the main artery
for business. 1t is there that, in i'm
itation of America, sky-scrapers have
been built, which domineer over the
town more than the old fort does. Sun
day in johannesburg is honored in
the breach and not in the observance.
johannesburg is young thing yet,
not out of its teens. but it apes the
manners Of centuries"
