A NAN FROM IOWA
Actions of Some Men Who
Come Here From the
East.

1t is really amusing to an old tim
er in this country to see some fellow
from Iowa or Missouri come here and
look over the valley and then go to
some other section because he can
get land cheaper, never stopping for
a minute to think what the land in
both cases will produce. We noticed
a case of this kind one day last week
when a fellow from Iowa. came here
and spent a few days and learned
the value of good fruit land" and
then went over to another county and
purchased a tract of land for 5000 per
acre, about $3.50 less than raw land
under a ditch could be purchased for
ir the Palisade district. 1t happens
that the writer has known of the
piece of land during the past ten
years and the price is not a great
deal more than 1t was on the market
for when we first saw it, almost ten
years ago. The purchaser goes on
to state to the newspapers that he is
also of the opinion that it is equal
to Palisade land" which We are here
to state Is a falsehood made out of
the whole cloth. If it is equal to
Palisade land why don't it sell for
the same amount? The reason is that
that the above tract acre for acre, has
not produced for its owner as much
money as has land in the Palisade
district in two seasons.
It also seems queer that if equal
to Palisade" that the above section
should not lead rather than follow
Palisade. as the tract of which this
Is part was homesteaded and put un-
der cultivation almost % years ago,
or Just after the Utes were driven
from this part of the state, and fruit
trees were planted in that county the
next year. The Oldest fruit tree in
Palisade district is not over fourteen
years, but, we have never had to-
tai failure and thereby lies the Sc
cret of the price of our lands. They
produce the greatest returns on the
money invested. In fact more money
can be made in the fruit business In
| this section than in any other line
! of business week now of figuring beal
ing land from $1,000 to $1,000 pei
acre.
We do not wish to be understood
as knocking any other county or sec
tion, and we admire the newspaper
did the boosting, but we wish thi
gentleman from Iowa to understand
that when he goes knocking" th'
Palisade district that he should In
form himself regarding condition:
to be found in different sections of th'
state. OF course he knows now, II
his own estimation, but, we viii
know more later.-Palisade Tribune.

GET
GREAT SUMS
AN AssocIntel Press.l

London, July ia remarkable
statement was made at the annual
meeting of the London Mendicity so
ciety.
Referring to the work of the socie-
ty during the past year, the board OF
management in it's report said:
1T is probably no eNaggeration to
say that well over $4,000 is given
haphazard to beggars in the streets
of London. and it is probable that the
average beggar earns more than the
average working man.
With regard to police court work,
the report stated that the number OF
cases attended during last year by the
mendicity constables, and dealt with
from their own personal knowledge
and the society's records, was 1888.
The society was in possession OF
1890 records of street beggars. Ihe
three mendicity constables gave evil
dence in 50 per cent of the cases.
But for the society's records 81
per cent of the 1889 vagrancy eases
might have had to be dealt with by
magistrates without previous record
of convictions, although the records
sometimes showed 80 convictions
against one person.
