HOME GROWN PEACHES
NOW ON THE MARKET

The finest peaches we have seen this
today by C. C. May and were grown
at ia whipple avenue, in Harding's
addition. They were OF the freestone
variety. but Mr.. May did not know the
name by which they are known to
nurserymen. They were OF excellent
size. averaging three TO a pound, and
in color and flavor were faultless. The
tree upon which they were grown has
on II. according to the estimates of
Mr. May. nearly five bushels of fruit
incidentally 1t may be stated that the
peach crop OF the Canon City district
will be larger this year than for many
years.

AS A RULE GOOD PRICES
ARE BEING PAID

a visit to the office and packing
rooms of the Fremont County Fruit
growers Association this morning
found all of the employees busy. al
though the rush is not as great now
as Il was during the strawberry sea-
son. when everybody had to work over
time to meet the requirements of the
situation,
Manager Sale says that produce is
coming In nicely and that growers are
receiving fair prices for most Of their
stuff. although the lack of demand for
summer apples has made them very
cheap: too cheap, in fact, to be of
much profit to orchardists.
"The low prices being paid for the
Yellow Transparent. Early Harvest.
and other sorts of apples now coming
into the market can not be taken as
a criterion for measuring the demand
Of the fall crop of fruit" said Mr.. Sa-
lie. Ordinarily" he asserted. "the
price of summer apples IL not such AZ
to be very remunerative to the local
grower, although. Of course there are
exceptions to the rule. Last season
the price was about double what It 10

BEING GRADUALLY WIPED OUT
During
Month-Labiles Now Only $4,000.

1t is not at all probable that the
apple crop next year will bring Canon
City growers as much money as the
crop did last year, but it is too early
yet, according to Mr.. Sale, to make
anything like an accurate forecast of
what the prices will be for the winter
varieties of apples.
Cherries and currants are still COM
ing into market, although in gradu-
ally diminishing quantities Goose
berries are gone. Homegrown Gu
cumbers and sweet corn have made
their appearance and will be abundant
in few days. The crop OF garden and
orchard produce is very good one
this season as rule and prices, ex-
cept in the case of summer apples, are
not such as to arouse dissatisfaction

Foreign Commerce.

An effort was made in the house
by Mr.. Livingston, of Georgia, to
again place in the legislative, execu-
t;Se and judiciary appropriation bill
an item Of $4,000 for special experts
to investigate aboard with the object
Of promoting the foreign commerce
of the United States, not more than
$4,000 of the appropriation to be
used In the investigation of markets
for cotton products. This amount
was appropriated last year, but by a
vote Of "a to II a substitute by Mr..
Littauer, of New York, reducing the
appropriation to 100000 was adopted.
Representative Burleston, of Texas,
called attention to the fact that there
was no consular officer abroad who
could give an intelligent opinion as to
cotton products and the manner in
which the foreign markets could be
increased.
Mr.. Lattuaer, Of New York, said
he was heartily in favor of the scheme
to broaden our markets. He intro
duced an amendment to Mr.. Living
ston's item reducing the total amount
to $4,000, the special agents to give
their attention to all commodities. and
not alone to cotton. Mr.. Littauer' 3
substitute was adopted.

The government did not agree with The
holy see on this subject and repeatedlj
and openly showed hostility towarh
the head Of the church. Violence may
prevail for time, but those who are
suffering from this state Of oppression
preserve all their rights and all theii
claims. The explosion of JOY among
the Masonic and demagogic societies
as result Of the persecution on The
part Of the government shows thai
the war is against the church and re-
ligion.
Notwithstanding the bills passed
and regulations adopted France at the
present time has no law granting re.
ligious liberty to those who do not con
ply with the law providing for ths
separation Of church and state.
"The one good point in the cireu,
lar issued recently by the French min.
lister Of public worship, M. BRAND, i.
his confession that it is impossible Ia
conform cultural associations to The
laws of 1881 and, 1901, which vert
adopted for the regulation Of oths,
kinds Of associations and meetings
Therefore what is needed is a real
law providing for real liberty, instead
of arbitrary ministerial circulars. The
loyalty and good will of the holy Sc,
under similar circumstances were
shown in Brazil. There was a mon
archy and concordat, both of which
the republicans suppressed and pro.
claimed their separation from the holy
see under certain reserves. Later the
Brazilian republic came to an unpapal
understanding with the vatican and
nuncio was accredited to Rio Janeiro
while Brazilian minister was &C.
credited to the Vatican.
"The search of the Nunciature al
Paris and the expulsion from France
of Mgr. Montagnini. secretary Of the
Nunciature, were steps taken with the
false statements circulated later and
which were said to have originated in
the discovery of documents seized at
the Nunciature, such as the report
that some of the French episcopacy
and clergy were ready to make appli-
cations to hold religious meetings.
There is no truth in the statements.
The holy see is not opposed to the
making Of applications under the law,
but takes exception to the whole spir.
it of the circular issued by Minister
of Public Worship BRAND"

Negroes Want to Re Enlist.

The immediate result of the memo
randum of Secretary Taft to the mil
itary secretary, signed outlining the
procedure TO be followed by enlisted
men Of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who
were discharged without honor, was a
visit TO the War Department of six
of the discharged negroes who applied
Tor re-enlistment, declaring they were
innocent Of all completely in the affair
at Brownsville. The men had no doe
umentary evidence to present, estab-
fishing this fact, but their applications
were submitted and received upon the
assurance that such testimony would
be Forthcoming at once.
Secretary Taft, who will pass upon
the cases Of the discharged men be-
fore taking them to the president, said
that nothing beyond receiving the ap-
pllcations for re-enistment would be
done until the replies of the Presi-
dent and himself to the Senate reso-
lutlons of the inquiry are submitted.
The evidence furnished by Gilchrist
Stewart, who is acting for a number
OF the men, the Secretary also said,]

cation of the matter.

moro than three months. Il has been

Without taking issues as to yhe rela-

It . evident that the public sentiment

been favorable to the proposed innova-
tion embraced in the executive order

1T Is therefore condition and not

turbed, that the next succeeding ad-
ministration would not revoke the
present order. Much Of the matter
will be described in the publications

To Raise Salaries.

Inc mouse is seemingly inclined 20
raise the salaries Of the house mem
bers as well as those Of the vice presi-
dent, the speaker, senator's and cabi-
net officers. Before resuming consid-
Grafton of the legislative, judicial and
,, executive appropriation bill, Mr.. Lit
tauer Of New York, endeavored 20
have a resolution adopted providing
for taking up the question of increase
| while the bill is under consideration
in committee Of the whole. But Mr..
| Underwood, Of Alabama, objected to
its consideration in committee. He
said, however, he would make no OBJ
lection to its discussion in the house
after the bill was reported by the COM
mlttee of the whole. He added thai he
was opposed to the increase, blu. said
ne would not block the way for secur-
ing consideration by the house. His
suggestion mel VITA favor and formed
the basis Of an agreement that when
the bill shall be reported the question
Of general advance in salaries Will
'che taken up and voted upon as an
amendment before the executive bill is
finally acted upon by the house. There
IS, however, possibility Of failure
to carry the agreement into effect, due
! to report that the Democratic mem
bers will generally refuse to partici-
! pate in the proposed action. The re-
port is that the republican leaders in
innate that if anything is to be done
general cooperation will be necessary.
Mr.. Littauer said his provision will
raise salaries of the vice president and
the speaker to $4,000, of cabinet off
GERS to $4,000, and Of senators and
representatives to 81 800.
Should the minority avoid direct
vote on the question, it is the inten-
ton Of Mr.. Littauer to withdraw the
amendment rather than have the in
crease accomplished by Republican,
woes. The agreement to deba.e the
committee of the whole, blocks point
of order which ordinarily lies against
the amendment. The amendment will
be offered as last paragraph.
