range of territory and under such dl-
versified climatic conditions, aud no
other fruit brings so sure return to
the grower in proportion to time and
money expended upon its production,
therefore it behooves every fruit
grower to paw closer attention to what
variety he puts out.
Montana has today growing in her
orchards, that for size, color, keeping
quality and market value, few var
eties that excel any other section OF
the United States. This fact was
proven beyond a doubt at the late St.
Louis fair and yet growers will go on
planting untried and tried worthless
varieties, no study being given to
adapta bility, habit of tree or market
value of the fruit.
If Montana is to have place in the
list of apple producing states, we must
three especially adapted varieties. Do
not be taken in with new varieties,
specialties or leaders. Let the other
fellow do the experimenting.
If you have lot of worthless var
ieties in your orchard, top-work them
to a good commercial variety. 1t can
be done on young trees in one year
and on older ones in two. The art of
top-graftlng is very simple and can be
acquired in a very few minutes under
the direction OF an experienced hand.
tie them up in bundles and bury them
under six inches of earth until spring,
then when the trees begin to come out
in leaf is the time to put in the scions.
l will give a list as they rate in
market value of few commercial var
ieties that are especially adapted to
this locality, the Bitter Root valley:
Mcintosh Red, Alexander, Transcen-
dent Crab, Baldwin, Bellflower, Nor
thern Spye and Wealthy.
There are number of other yarie-
ties that we grow very fine here in the
valley, but they are grown larger and
finer in other localities, therefore they
are good varieties for the commercial
orchardist to leave alone.

Apples Suitable to Our Valley

Editor The Western News:-
The time has arrived when we must
determine upon few suitable var
ieties of fall and winter apples. We
are planting thong htlessly, not giving
that attention which the business is
entitled to, and many orchardists are
now paying the penalty by having
thrown back upon their hands a lot Of
worthless fruit with no market for the
same.
The apple is king of fruits where
ever it may be successfully grown.

Special to the Herald.
Binnington, Vt, Dec. s.-Today Mrs.
Mary Rogers was hanged for the MUIR
der of her husband at this place in
1901. She maintained complete COM
posture to tine very last moment, and
mounted the gallows with a steady
step. Although deadly psllor over
spread her countensnce, hardly a
muscle moved. Deputy Stafford then
pronounced the fatal words, 81 now
proceed to execute the sentence of the
law, and may God have mercy on
your soul" A moments stiffness en-
sued, then the trap was sprung, and
the woman dashed to eternity.
This execution is the termination of
one of the hardest fought legal battles
the State ever knew. Recently the
United States supreme court denied
the appeal of Mrs. Rogers for her
by writ of habeas cor
pus, thus removing the last stay to the
execution of the death sentence. The
court was unable to find that Mrs.
Rogers had sustained any violation of
rights secured by the federal consti-
tuition.

BOARD OF TRADE
DISCUSSES THINGS
Horticultural Society, Railroads,
and Tobacco Were the Sub
iects of Discussion.

The Board of Trade was in session
last night, and while the attendance
of citizens was not as large as was ex-
pected and hoped for, still good
meeting was held and some good work
done, and some interesting discussions
held.
The first matter taken up by the
meeting was the meeting in this city
in January of the State Horticultural
Society, and plans started for the re-
ception and entertainment of dele
gates, whom it is expected will number
possibly one thousand. BY vote of
the Board, the President was author
lied to name three committees,
namely, a reception committee, COM
mittee on arrangements, and COM
mittee on publicity. The president
announced that he would be pleased
to meet as many as cared to meet him
at the Board rooms this evening at
1880, when he would arrange and an
nounce the committees suggested.
Plans were discussed for taking care
of the delegates, the meetings, and
the general comfort of the society.
With the Board of Trade in behind the
work there will be no trouble in per-
fecting all necessary arrangements.
1t was voted by the Board to invite
Hon. T. NJ. Campbell to deliver the
address of welcome for the citizens
and the Board on this occasion.
The next matter brought to the at
tention of the Board was in regard to
the various railroad rumors current in
The city, and after a very general dis
cussion of the probabilities, .possibili-
ties, ETC., in connection with such
rumors, it was voted to have Presi-|
dent Hearne open correspondence
with the various railroad officials con-
nected with the extensions discussed
by these rumors. In this way it is
hoped that 1t can be ascertained
whether or not there Is any possibility
of getting -neE- Eesd+1-fft rasz.s9
made public at this meeting that the
State road, which covers ten miles of
the thirty miles distance between Pal
estine and Rusk, was on the market
aud could be bought. Correspondence
is under way looking to the extension
of the road into Palestine.
The next matter of special impor-
lance was the discussion OF the to-
bscco movement as it is being carried
on here, and some very hattering
things we're said about the work be-
ing done. While no requests were
before the Board for any assistance it
was plainly the sense of the Board to
offer every encouragement possible
to this industry.

"HaZing" In Palestine.
To the Herald.

To the Herald.
We have read great deal lately of
the heartless and cruel practice of
"hazing" in the colleges of the land,
and it has now developed that we
have right here in our midst those
who do not hesitate to play upon the
fears of the young and thoughtless.
The sad case of one of the young and
promising bank clerks who was last
night ostensibly robbed by bearded
highwayman near the depot, is but
another example. The said young
man was ruthlessly robbed of an ele-
giant Ingersoll watch, and this morn
ing mourns his loss. Please use your
influence against this and kindred acts.

Won't Regret 1t.

A Herald man was shown a private
letter today from Mr.. ]. V. Watkins,
written a Palestine citizen, in which
he referred to the Interurban project,
and the granting OF the street car
franchise by the city council. He says
Palestine will never regret the action,
as the promoters of this enterprise
will carry out their part of the con-
tract to the very letter, and that with
in a few months street cars will be
running in Palestine.

Being Violated.

Representative J. j. Blount was in
the city yesterday, and gave the Her.
aid a call. He says it has been re-
ported to him that the fish and game
law. is being grossly violated in this
county, largely because the people do
not understand the law. At his re-
quest the Herald publishes below the
provisions of the new game law:
s'Section 1. 1t shall be and is uulaw-
ful for any person to take in any way
any fresh water fish for sale or barter
for money or anything of value what
soever; provided, that any one person
shalI be allowed to sell as much as
~ pounds of fish in one week, and
ID than fifty pounds of fish in
See4rcs seven days.
lection 2. It shall be and is un.
lawful for any person to kill more than
ten squirrels in any one day of twenty
four hours, and 1t is not lawful for any
person to sell more than five squirrels
In any one week OF seven days"
The representative says people
should be posted on this matter and
not continue to violate the law.

The little Moor listening eagerly in the pale moon
