The Leader takes just exceptions
to the Republican leaders meeting
in Washington City to arrange tax
legislation. 1t was in Washington
that the infamous new tax laws were
promulgated. The poor people are
beginning to realize what those laws
are and to look with suspicion upon
the meeting of the Republican lead
ers in Washington.

Next week we begin the publica

announced sometime since that we
would wait thirty days longer and
then we would expose some of the
people who had been trying to beat
us out of their subscription and that
the first installment of this very in
teresting story would appear in the

just what we said. Watch out for
the list next week, but don't let

you owe us an old bill you had bet

Random Songs Along Life's
Way, a new volume of poems by
Jas. d. Morgan, editor of the Ger
ardstown Times, and author Of
"Song Sermons" Strollings in Song
Land, "Our Own Songs" "Under
The Naples" etc. Just published.
200 pages. Garnet cloth. IS cents,

We have received a copy of the
above and find many beautiful things
in it, as Bro. Morgan is real gen.
uine poet and some of his writing is
better than that of poets with ma
tional reputation. The Times often
contains little gem of poetry in
the best vein of the editor and every
one Of them should be carefully gar
nered and bound in book form.
Bro. Morgan should be editor or at
least on the staff of some of the big
magazines or literary publications.

The bill introduced by Senator
Campbell to change the name Of
Charleston 10 Kanawha has brought
out great deal of indignation from
Charleston people. The only rea-
son for the change is that the names
of Charles Town and Charleston are
so nearly alike that a change is nee
essary on account Of mail going
astray. Kanawha is a much better
name for the Capital City. The
Charlestonians say that Senator
Campbell can change the name OF
his own town if he wants to but to
leave their city alone. On the 9TH
er side it is argued that Charles
Town is a much older place than
the Capital City and that it would
be more appropriate to change the
name of the latter place, but it is
not likely the bill will pass anyhow.

New Sdniidrium for GIenwOOd

Glenwood, which for some time
has been in need Of hospital facilities,
is not to suffer longer in that respect
DR.. W. F. Berry has established
in the Dougan block the Glenwood
Sanitarium and from the first, the
institution has been literally patron
ized and several patients are now
awaiting admission. The doctor has
even been obliged to vacate his re-
ception room which was transformed
temporarily into one of the hospital
rooms. In addition to the seven bed
rooms now occupied, nice kitchen
and bath room has been provided and
Mr.. Dougan. the owner of the build
Iins will soon finish two large rooms
which will be turned into wards
with six beds each. A modern operat:
ing room is also being provided.
The sanitarium is open at all times
when there is room to the patients of
any reputable physician and it is be-
lieved all the physicians will appreci-
ate the benefits of such an institution
as 1t is proposed to make the prices
such as to place it within the reach
of the sick of moderate financial cir
cumstances.

favor of the reserves, but am also in
favor of paying fee for their use, II
by paying that fee can have grass

Said to Have Been Deported

There was report on the streets
Monday evening of the mysterious de.
portation from the Sunshine camp of a
couple of Italians who were working
in the interest of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners. but the Post has thus
far been unable to substantiate the
rumor.
1t is known that couple of fellows
whose mission to the camp was not
made clear had been seen several
times about the saloons and it was ad
mitted that they disappeared rather
suddenly but no one has yet been
found who knows or will tell anything
concerning their disappearance
Sunday night several of the miners
from the Pocahontas and Sunshine
mines met about halfway between the
two CAMPS and drunken row was the
result. The next day two Italians
came down to Glenwood and claimed
they had been driven out of camp.
The fellows are said to be organizers
of the Western Federation of Miners
and 1t is altogether probable that they
were given to understand that their
services were not needed in Sunshine.

FORTUNES IN
GRAND VALLEY
J. L. Oliver, Of paliSade, Gives
Interesting Experience in
Fruit Culture

The following article by ]. L. Oil
yer appeared last Sunday in special
writeup of Palisade and surrounding
country by the Pueblo Chieftan. and
shows the fortunes made in fruit in
that wonderfully productive section :
"Though 1 have been resident
here for eleven years, I had the fruit
industry to learn, and, as might have
been expected, I made several mis-
takes in my early planting, the re-
planting of such land having reduced
my receipts for the last couple of
years, but to take series Of Eve years
Of the land planted to the best com
mercial varieties, represented in five
acres of peaches. two of cherries, two
of grapes and FIVE of apples-apples
only figuring in returns for the last
two years, and one year being par
tial failure-will say that my orchard
has brought me, after commission for
selling and express had been paid,
over $40, 900 a year-one variety Of
peaches one year selling for over
81, 900 per acre, netting about 500 and
for FIVE years averaging between 500
and $500 per acre. netting over half
the amount.
"My cherries sold for about the
same but expenses in handling we're
slightly more. while the grapes come
next in point Of profit-one year ship
ping 2.055 crates. many selling at
N.75, netting 81. 81. while contract
cd others at Palisade at $1.25. The
I've years exceeded s45. 900 in returns,
the year Of failure sli ghtly over $5, 600
and the other four about $40. 900, one
year, to be exact, being $11. 484, So,
another year $40, 1874. 48. The past
year will amount to slightly over
t10. 200, two accounts remaining un-
ssttiad. The smallest statement
occurring last year can be accounted
for from the fact that 1 took out 475
large peach trees Of common variety
to make room for better (some being
mixed. which hinders packing) and
last spring top wofked over 500 ap-
pie trees, thus for the time increasing
my receipts from $2, 900 to g..
might say my peach ground has netted
me from $500 to $500 per acre. cherries
$500 to $4OO, grapes $500 to $4OO and
apples $3.50 to $40O.
Three times I have refused 81. 600
per acre fol my land, thus planted,
and would as strongly refuse 81, 500

way the advantage of my neighbors,

The essential features of such
methods of logging include leaving
and protecting the small growth, nsu
ally in this region all trees under
twenty or twenty four inches in diam
eter, and reserving fourth or fifth
of the large, full bearing trees Of the
most valuable species, like the sugar
pine of the western Sierras. to furnish
seed. The watersheds of streams,
which are important for irrigation OF
water power. should be lightly logged
so as not to impair the value of the
forest as natural reservoir. The
tops and slash left by the lumbermen
are carefully piled and burned to les
sen the danger of destructive fires and
to expose the soil for seed germina-
t'on. Under such methods new and
usually denser and more valuable
forest growth is secured after logging,
and second cut Of timber can be
made within a comparatively short
time.
Among the lumbermen and miners
of California the demand for resel We
timber is steadily increasing. In the
Sierras alone 40, 900. 600 or so, OOU, 600
feet will be suld in the coming year to
lumber firms. and large quantities
will be used in other parts of the state
by mines, irrigation companies and
settlers. Carefully and conservalively
logged, the timber resources of the
reserves thus promise to contribute
much to the industrial development of
the Pacific coast. MAXWELL Tails

County fair a Success

One of the most novel entertain
ments ever given in Glenwood was
the county fair" which was given
at Dougan's hall last Saturday eve
ming. The object was worthy one
and the splendid patronage proved
that our people recognize the need of
free library and reading room.
The various booths were all we'll
patronized, the minstrel show and the
Irish village being especially popular
while the golddust twins, the haunted
chamber and the many other novel
features claimed their share of the
interest shown.
The girls Happy Hoollgan band
and the farmers Rube band with
Tom Harkins as Farmer Corntassel
blowing the bass drum furnished an
abundance of music y which helped
the visitors to while away the time.
Sales were good at the various boot bs
where articles were offered, Charles
st. Clair especially doing rushing
business in weiner wurst sandwiches
while Mrs. Dougau, Mrs. King and
Mrs. Fsrnum all reported satisfactory
sales at their booths. The receipts
amounted to $140 which proves the
venture complete financial success
