CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 2s.-The Inter-

here last week into the relations Of the
Standard Oil Company and the railroads
has borne results already. The independent
oil men to-day were notified by the Lake
Shore that inequalities in rates on parafine
wax that gave the Standard a great adj
vantage had been corrected and that the
independents would get the same rate as
the trust.
Parafine wax is one Of the by-products
Of petroleum, and independents had to pay
oil weight on it, while the Standard shipped

FRUIT FOR RUSK COUNTY
Discussion Of the Subject by Practi-
cal Farmer with Ample
Experience.

A-@A EJCAAC+1GC
1t is fact that every year the farm
ers Of Rusk county spends we'll into
four figures for nursery stock, a large
per cent. of which is wasted through
the planting of varieties that cannot be
made a success of. The agent selling
nursery stock is seldom horticultur-
list and is only selling the trees as in
structed by the nursery he is working
for which instruc lion is often only good
for the nursery in shape of dollars and
fatal to the farmer as far as growing
trees is concerned. One nursery that
is always well Represented by agents N
Wisconsin has been selling an apple
if the agent speaks truly. Surely fer
the price it ought to and though this
wonderful apple tree for more than
twelve years has been sold to the farm
er, not bushel of its fruit has ever
been seen on the market. And as the
nursery agents are now busy with us,
few words from farmer who has
had the experience of bringing up
wards of a thousand apple, plum and
cherry trees into Rusk county, all Of
which have been planted by him or his
neighbors with coed success, may not
be out of place. | have carefully
watched the growth Of the trees for
six years ard anyone has only to take a
trip through the New Hutchinson set
Element to be convinced that apples
can be grown in Rusk county, but with
cut q very favorable location nothing
but the very hardy varities should be
planted. The soil must have good
drain to it and north slope is best.
Of the standard apples the Duchess
and Hibernial have proved success,
the first named showing such superior
qualities Of hardness as to stand in
class by itself. Of the crabs the vari-
ties that can be planted with safety are
more numerous, the Virginia, Trans
cendent, Briar Sweet, Early Straw
berry, Hyslop, Martha, and Whitney
No. 20 have all Gone well. The Vir-
einia proving as hardy as an oak, hav-
| ing a record in this neighborhood of
over fifty planted and everyone a coed
thrifty tree today. The fruit is as
good as the better known Transcen-
dent and having the big advantage over
that variety limit blighting which bad
falling the latter has.
In planting an orchard, if greater
variety of standard apples is desired,
he following have proved hardy with
ne in the order named: Patterns
Greening, Wealthy, Peerless and Vel
low Transparent. Though these vari-
ties viii not compare with the first two
named in hardness, yet they can be
grown with good success if the proper
care is given them.
| do not say that other varities can
not be grown here, but unles the plant
err has had experience in growing ap-
pies in this country, it will be wellto
keep to those named. OF the plums the
DeSota is Of recognized merit in this
county ana farmers cannot make
mistake in planting it. 1t is safe to
plant the Compass cherry that is
being much pushed by agents in this
county at the present time. 1t is
rather small plum tIan cherry, has
been wonder for hardness and bear
ing the first year after planting.

What Others Are Doing.

In the building Of cities there is
necessity for action, plans that energy
that knows no ceasing. In many parts
of the country much is being done
The following from the Winona Mimi.
Republican ought to be a thought
maker.
The men who have Peru, Ind, a
humming industrial city by their sheer
energy and pluck. and who have plant
ed on Oakdale addition to the city ele-
ven large factory buildings by the sale
Of lots in the addition itself, alf-occupied
and in operation by live manufacturing
concerns and all paid for, will be pleas
ed to play Missourians and show a
committee Of Winona citizens what
they have accomplished and how it was
done. The men who make the Oakda e
addition to Peru what it is today include
bank president, capitalists, nanufac-
turers and merchants, and they are
still moving forward. Vice President
Bous!og, Of the Improvement company,
in letter TO Mr.. Randle, writes.
Peru, Ind, Nov. e, 1905.
T. NJ. RandIe, Winona, MINI
MY Dear Randle:- Yours Of the 18Th
at hand, and assure you / shall be
pleased to see you succeed in your pro-
posed enterprise at Winona.
If the committee visits Peru we viii.
take the greatest pleasure in showing
what we have done.
Very truly,
R. RI. BOUSLOG.
Let Winona, as we have said before,
20 at it's Greater Winona movement
With it's eyes open. What's the use
of saying it can't be done here when it
is being done almost everywhere else?
Send acomittee Of wideawake citizens
TO see how other people 60 it. how easy
It is done, how it pays its own way,
and how it attains splendid results for
city. Peru was onIy a city Of 10, 000
when its Improvement company took
up the Oakdale factory addition. TIL
land was improved, streets laid out,
cement walks built and over ZOO lots
sold, which paid for the property,
fsctory buildings, Improvements and
every thing else. L is no long journey
for a Winona committee to visit Peru.
It can leave Winona any night and be
in Peru in time for dinner next day.
A report from such a committee wou}o
be good reading for Winona people, a
it would give to many the light in til.
Greater Winona plan they need.

Bess was the beautiful little mare

At last the time came, and an a
lanche Of money rolled down on the
former poor driver, who, in his child
hood days, had never had so much as
a quarter to spend. The way in which
ne made the money fly caused even
the oil region, then engaged in its mad
chase for wealth, to sit up and take
notice. There never was a spender
like him before and few have initiated
and none equaled him since. His first

And "the boys" were show2. Johnny
Steele started down the street with his

he met he presented one of the bills.
Those who hesitated and wanted to
know why got two of the bills. He
