FLORAL OFFERINGS
FOR THE MAVERICK

Payette Independent: The Noun
tain Home Maverick, with ]. w.
Connella as editor, has succeeded
the Elmore Bulletin. The Maver-
ick is six-column, eight-page
paper and gives evidence that q
first-class newspaper man is at the
helm, as it is neatly printed, care
fully made up and well edited.
Boise Statesman: The latest
copy of the Mountain Home Nav
erick contains column of bouquets
tossed at the new paper and pro-
prietors, showing that the sheet
has created a favorable impression.
The bouquets were deserved. From
a news standpoint the Maverick
seems to be getting its share and it
is being dished up in highly cred
liable manner, too. 1t is well print
ed and deserves good patronage
from subscribers and advertisers in
its field.
Salmon Recorder: The Noun
tain Home Publishing Association
has bought the Elmore Bulletin,
subscription and good will. The
new editor, j. w. Connella an
nounccs that he will run an enter
prising, independent newspaper to
exploit the resources of that section
of the state. The Mountain Home
Maverick is the title of the new
journal, which is eight pages, all
home print, full of good things and
with a liberal advertising patron
age. The Maverick is democratic
in politics, and we extend the glad
hand of fellowship to Brother Con-
nella, in a warm welcome to the
democratic newspaper field.
1.-THE Recorder has another guess
coming on the politics of this paper
its the same as that of and ordi-
nary butcher shop.

en- Word Tapestries.

State papers are publishing a pen
ton, verbal acrobatic performance,
of vivid coloring, with the intro
ductory statement that its author is
unknown. The brain of but one
man who ever lived could have
guided the hand that wrote that
extravaganza that of the poor
dead Donan, Colonel Pat DOMAIN,
who won his eagles for daredevil
bravery on the battle field when
only eighteen years of age, fighting
on the side of the once Southern
Confederacy, who died a few years
since in Portland. still fighting for
some lost cause, or other; fighting
all the world, except his personal
friends, all his eventful life, to go
do wn finally to disappointed, de-
feated, embittered grave.
The writer has not before seen
this particular product of his pro-
life, part-poetic pen, but it bears
his brand as Enthusiastically as do the
cattle he refers to the brands of
their owners. The chances are that
the story can be found in some of
the old advertising literature of the
Hartman lines, published when
he was the bright particular star
of that SYSTEMS publicity depart
ment. The following is the won
derfully word woven tapestry, with
fantastic imagery as its warp and
poetic license as its wool:

Guided. During this time I have not
paid out cent for physicians bills.
Which do you think would cost
most, a daily taste of fruit, or the
regular doctors visits required by so
many families? Which do your chill
dren like best, grapefruit or quinine;
figs or EPSON salts?
The kind of fruit available must,
Of course, depend on location Guava
need not be hoped for in Georgia, nor
currants in Florida Each section,
however, has access to wide range
and long season All can have straw
berries, b1ackberries, peaches, pears,
plums, grapes and figs
By careful selection of varieties the
season of any one kind of fruit may
be extended. One season, in North
Florida, I picked strawberries every
week from Christmas to Fourth of
July.
Notwithstanding these great nat
ural advantages it is really surprising
how ignorant and careless many in
lelligent people are of the simplest
truths Of fruit growing. I have seen
many people who had started straw
berry beds wonder why the plants,
which bloomed freely, never ripened
fruit. The only reason was that but
one variety had been planted, and it
happened to be kind having flowers

all the year Yet it is fact, much to
be regretted, that very few families do
have such a supply of fruit.
The editor of the Southern Ruralist
believes in plenty Of fruit, and says:
Now is the best time for setting out
fruit trees and plants. Many of the
largest fruit industries of the world
are located in the section to the in
terests of which The Ruralist is de-
voted Yet it is a lamentable fact
that fresh fruit is seldom seen in the
homes Of very many people who
might, with the slightest effort, sup
ply this great lack.
strawberry fields, vineyards and pine
apple plantations abound. The very
mention of them fills one with yearn-
ing. Yet there are thousands, Of
farms where the only fruit ever seen
is the crop OF wild blackberries har-
vested from the fence corners, or the
product Of a few seeding peach trees.
What I have in mind is not market
fruit, but a greater supply and varie
ty OF fruit for home Use More fruit
and fewer doctors bills. This com
parison is real fact, not fancy. The
doctors themselves will tell you So
Personal experience is good teach
er. For the past ten years I believe
my family has never for a single day

ct IS stated on excellent authority
that the railroads charge the govern
ment about 300 per cent more than
they do the express companies for

Cenvicts for Road Work.

The Daytona Gazette-News takes
just the ground which we have held for
long time, viz that the convicts ought
to work on the roads or other public
work:
1t is now certainty that a bill will
be introduced in the Florida Legisla-
ture next winter by John B. Parkinson,
who is secretary of the Florida East
Coast Automobile Association, provid
ing for the utilization of all the prison
labor of the state in road building and
other public work. The prison labor
in Florida at the present time, with the
exception of that of Dade county, is
leased to contractors. The system,
while providing fairly good remunera-
ton to the county, has it's drawbacks.
The convicts are often mistreated and
are frequently forced to live in very
demora1izing condition. The convicts
employed on the roads of Dade county
are treated very differently. An in
spection of the convict gangs operated
by Dade county in road building be-
tween Miami and Palm Beach last
winter showed fairly treated lot Of
men. The tax payers of the county
are very we'll satisfied with the ex-
pertinent of using convict labor for
public works such as road building,
and the proposed state legislation next
winter will probably authorize every
county in the state Of Florida to use
and supervise prison labor in the very
important work of road building.
There is no state in the Union that
good roads mean so much to as it
does to Florida. 1t would mean that
the State would each winter become
great driving ground for AUTOMOBILE
lists and the drivers Of good horses.
A main road from Jacksonville to
Miami will surely come. When it
does, an automobiles will make the
trip from Jacksonville to Miami about
as follows: Leave Jacksonville after
breakfast, take lunch at St. Angus
tine, distance 81 miles. Ormond or
Daytona for dinner and lodging. Next
day, if the trip is a continuous one,
Titusville, 30 miles, for lunch. Rock
ledge 80 miles further On, for dinner
and lodging. Next day, Fort Pierce
for lunch, distance 81 miles, and Palm
Beach for dinner and lodging, distance
from Palm Beach SO miles The fin
ish of the journey next day would be
Fort Lauderdale, 40 miles, for lunch,
and dinner at Miami, another 25 miles,
would finish the East Coast through
road trip.

express companies, and thereby the
greatest obstacle to securing a parcels
post is removed.
Farm Stock Journal can see no rea-
son why the local parcels post should
not become operative by act Of con-
gress, if the grange and other farmers
organizations make vigorous demand
for it. Let this be the next step toward
the realization Of mail service which
shall equal that enjoyed by the people
Of nearly every other civilized nation.
The Grange is a powerful organiza
ton of farmers and by means Of it the
farmers of this country have been able
to greatly influence legislation for their
own benefit The whole organization
is now moving in behalf of a parcels
post, and those who oppose this mea-
sure may make up their minds that
something is going to happen. The
Oregon State Grange has taken action
in regard to it and has sent out a cir-
cular letter which was published by
Farm and Fireside as follows:
Office of Master,
Forest Grove, Oregon.
To Patrons Greeting:
You are doubtless familiar with the
conditions existing in the National
Post-Of6ce Department. There is an
annual deficit of $15, 100000 and grow
ing larger each year. With such
deficit, even if there were no other fac
tors to meet, it is difficult matter to
persuade Congress to establish postal
savings banks or parcels post deliv
cry, such now exists in Mexico and
nearly all European countries. It also
retards the extension Of our rural de-
livery system. Ours is the only great
nation where such a condition exists,
and the patrons Of Oregon are con-
WINGED that this is due largely to the
following facts: By the payment OF
exorbitant prices to the railroads for
the carrying of the mails; by the pay
ment of extravagant prices for use Of
stamping machines, time-recording
clocks and many other supplies used
in every branch Of the service; and by
the fragrant abuse Of the Thanking
: privilege.
'In support of this belief we ask
your consideration Of the following
facts: For carrying the mail a dis
lance of ninety miles between two
points in Oregon, one mail each way
six days in the week, the Government
pays a certain railway company $4,000
a year. In addition it pays the COM
pany rent on three cars at a rate that
would more than build each of three
cars new every year. Only two Of the
cars are used at any one time. Only
one-half of each car is used for mail
purposes, the other half being used by
the Wells Fargo Express Co. 1t can
not be learned whether it pays any
rent or not.
Mercantile institutions pay from
$500 to 5000 for time-recording clocks.
By some strange regulation the Gov
eminent is never allowed to buy these

Another Industry.

We have given you some items
about the new industry of growing
camphOr trees in this state. In the
last HOmeseeker we find a new item
on the subject. We believe that the
growing Of these trees will he very
profitable in many places and on soil
that would not he valuable for any
other purpose.
1T thrives on fatwoods land, where
the soil is wet for weeks at time, it
would be better for being partially
drained, in fact we doubt if the trees
would stand it to have water standing
over the surface long, but we have

so modified by a Californian breeder
should be amatter of National pride,
but the instance does not stand alone,
nor does it partake Of the miraculous.
Eschscholtzia California;, or Cali
fornia Poppy, is the most ornamental
of a Pacific Coast genus containing a
dozen or more species Of plants with
finely cut bluish-green foliage and gay
yellow poppy-like flowers. vt is per-
ennial in warm, dry climates, but is
commonly grown in the North as an
annual, sowing the seeds thinly where
they are to bloom, as the plants do not
well bear transplanting. Few plants
make more pleasing show during the
summer months. A row of Esch-
schOltZias in the garden is sure to be
appreciated for the gayety of bloom
and the cleanness of foliage effect.
The flowers open only during sunshine
and are not lasting when cut, but are
freely andconstantly produced. Man
DARN is probably the best variety, as
it is very compact in growth and ex-
tremely brilliant in it's orange and
scarlet coloring. Seeds may be had
from all dealers for five cents the
packet The new pink kinds above
noted are considerably more expen-
sive and may be regarded as worthy
novelties, more desirable than the now
well-known Rose Cardinal, seeds of
which are also freely offered at low
price. This and the other varieties
have all been bred from the original
species, e. California;
