WHAT Is LAND WORTH?

Says the Seattle observation-disclosures.
er.
The Yakima Herald publishes an
interesting story illustrating the pro-
ducing value of irrigated lands when
planted to marketable fruits. A
fruit grower residing on Mob Hill,
pear the city of North Yakima,
states that from four and a half
acres his income for this year will
approximate $4,000. The place is
planted to peaches and apricots, with
Strawberries between the rows Of
trees. The fruit trees are three
years old, and gave a good crop of
peaches and apricots this season. The
grower says that from eleven rows Of
berries, 230 feet lorg, ne picked and
sold lao crates. at 81 per crate. He
recently refused to sell the farm for
1880 an acre.
What is the land worth? is an i'm
portant question asked by scores OF
prospective homeseekers The prom
inent men in every section of the
state are besieged by letter-writers
living in all parts of the United
States. The inquirers want to know
something about Washington. They
ask of the climate, soil and crops.
They want to learn something of the
schools and churches. The markets
and possibilities of future growth
receive much attention. But the
great question relates to the value Of
the land. When informed that i'm
proved orchards are worth $4,000
an acre, the average seeker of
western home decides not to write
again.
The value of farming lands de-
ponds largely on the crops produced
and the proximity 10 market. There
is probably no record of any mar
paying more for farming lands than
the acreage really brought forth with
a few annual harvests. Some of the
most profitable orchards and special
crop fields return the original cost
the first year. Many instances might
be enumerated where the buyer OF
new lands has been able to pay the
entire purchase price the first year
from money received from a potato
crop. But that does not establish
the market value of the soil. 1t is
worth whatever the purchaser may
give. if he gets cash results sufficient.
TO pay a reasonable interest on the
investment.
A few years ago large tracts OF UNI
occupied lands were considered well
cold when the government price of
s1.25 an acre was paid. Now those
tracts have increased in value sew
eral hundred times because of irri-
CATION and cultivation. Towns have
grown UP on former desert areas.
Railroads penetrate every promising
agricultural district. Markets are
the soil are almost without limita-
ton. On general principles, farm
! worth all that the purchaser pays,
and then a little more The value
lies in the soil, climate and trans
portation facilities. To get tho
money returns, the tiller OF the soil
must understand mis- business and
handle the right crops at the right
time.

SEASONING TELEPHONE POLES
The Government and the Companies
Are Experimenting

The scarcity OF timber suitable for
telephone and telegraph poles has Of
late assumed serious proportions. says
the American Telephone Journal.
Latest reports OF the Census OF.
flee show that there were in opera
ton in 1902. approximately 700,0
miles Of pole line. Subsequent ad.
ditions. however, together with Ger.
tain railroad pole lines not reported,
would enlarge this figure.
1t is safe to assume that there are.
In operation at present fully 500
600 miles of line. The average line
contains about 40 poles mile so
that there are approximately 2.00o.-
900 poles in use.
Assuming that the average life OF
a pole is IL years. It follows that for
the maintenance of the lines now in
operation there are NEEDED each, year
more than 2,650,000 poles. Such
an enormous demand must soon de-
plete the available supply. This Is
fully recognized by the different CON-
panies.
The American Telephone, and Tele-
graph Company in cooperation with
the United States Forestry Bureau;
has ben carrying on elaborate expert
ments TO determine the best means
of prolonging the life of poles.
These experiments show that seas
oned timber in contact with the
ground will outlasr unseasoned, and
that dry wood more receptive Of
preservative fluids than green wood,

lished at Dover. N. j.. Thorndale'

Telegraph Company supplied fixed
number Of poles each month.

idly against Mr. Roosevelt failed. A
delegation of three members Of the
Central Federated Union Of New York
visited the white house to demonstrate
with the president 1t was cordially
received, and the president showed
the members a letter which he had
written to the encouragement over
year before directing him to inves-
tigate the charge that Meyer and Hay
wood had been kidnapped, and to do
everything in the power of the federal
authorities to assist in securing exact
justice to both sides. In this he had
said:
$50 far as the unions are anxious
only to see that exact justice is done
these men, that they are given their
full legal rights and not condemned
unless proved guilty Of this specific
act, they are entitled to the cordial
cooperation of all just and fair-minded
citizens. So far as by any action
or by murderous and reasonable Ian
guage, such as that quoted above from
Debs (and others), they tend to bring
pressure to bear upon the state au-
thorities and the courts to Obstruct the
course Of justice and to render it diff
ficult to convict men, if guilty, they
are equally without stint to be con-
demned; and anything that the feder
al authorities can do in either event
to further the cause of justice is to
be done"
He gave the committee a written
assurance that this would continue
to be his policy, and that if any ev
idence should be submitted to him at
any time showing any injustice either
for or against the prisoners he would
do anything in his power to redress
it. The committee returned to New
York full Of satisfaction, giving Presi-
dent Roosevelt an emphatic certif-
cate of character, and it's report was

MARION BUTLER'S "DISCOVER-
IES."
(The New York Sum-

The Hon. Marion Butler, once a
Populist senator from North Carolina,
seems to be a detective of unusual
powers of ratiocination. He has found
traces in the Tar Heel state Of that
$5,O00,000 conspiracy the revelation of
which in a moment OF supposedly al
coholic confidence made such hula
balOo at Washington. Cynics have re-
garded the conspiracy as a legend,
a myth, or mystification, but surely
such a display of official thunder and
lightning would not have followed IL
the powers of darkness had not been
really caught in the act Of plotting
against Jupiter Tonans Mr.. Butler,
whose reticence and habit of under
statement are Of the genuine Populist
sort, has nabbed receiver of some
part of the $5,O00,0OO. He says that
Mr.. Adams, chairman of the North
Carolina Republican state committee,
"confesses in effect that he belongs to
the $5,000000 conspiracy and is using
money in opposition to the Roosevelt
policies in South Carolina" The con-
duct of some other politicians and GER
tain of1ceholders Ito his mind showed
conclusively that they were in the
conspiracy"
It may be said that what is con-
elusive to Mr.. Buffers mind is not
necessarily conclusive to every other
mind.
We can not regard as small man
who is thus credited with a part in
the most mysterious conspiracy in his
tory. AS for Butler, something good

PRESENCE OF MIND.

A negro minister from Georgia, who
was visiting friends in New York city,
went on sunday to the Cathedral ON

He was very much. impressed with
the service, especially by the choir
boys in the professional and recess

south he resolved to introduce the
same thing into his church; so he col

One Sunday the congregation were
greatly surprised to see the choir
boys marching in, singing the process
sional. The minister noticed that
something was wrong; the boy in
front was not carrying anything. He
leaned over the pulpit and in order
to avoid attracting attention, he
chanted in tune to the song they were
singing.
"What-have you done-with the in

The little darky, with great pres
