OF orchard fruits in a commercial way,
your increased success can in the larg-
est measure be traced to the following
up of more improved methods and
practices. On the east side orchard
ing is undertaken as a commercial
venture, and the conditions necessary
to ensure success are studied and
practiced. On the west side it is
largely different. There the cultiva-
tion of orchard fruits as money crop
Is quite side issue as rule. Even
In the best of the older orchards in
their planting little or no thought
was, and little comparatively yet is,
expended upon the question of vari-
cites suited to the climate and soil
found there; and still less upon any
approved methods of cultivation or
care of the orchards after planting.
We state this as the rule; and have
no hesitation in saying that if the
same loose system of management, or
cultivation, or the lack of same, given

there in sufficient quantities to at

for it's apple production, and makes
their fruit lands worth and bring ST.

My observation leads me to believe
that we have as favored localities in
western Washington, and that those
finer white and yellow varieties of the
apple will be grown to about the same
absolute perfection in the near future;
and in a sufficient supply to bring
buyers from the great centers of

side would make very creditable
comparative showing in the line of
these fruits today. What would or
chards be in the Inland Empire if
no cultivation were given to the soil
of the orchard after planting? Or
were the trees allowed to grow up in
grass, weeds or brush? Or no irriga-
ton practiced where the same is need
ed? And no selection of varieties
made suited to the conditions of eli
mate, etc.? Or no protection from the
depredations of insect or other pests?
Or no thinning of the fruit practiced?
And it is in these directions where
the great failures are made in the
growing of the pear and the apple
in the Puget Sound region. Because
of our humid atmospheric conditions

many of the orchard fruits in the Pu-
get Sound region that our seasons do
not bring them to that mature per-
fection that in the higher summer
temperatures of those regions having
the more quickly growing conditions
of climate is found to obtain.
Little attention has as yet been paid
by us on the west side to the best
methods of obtaining all the advan-
tages we can from our more limited
summer heat and sunshine. Too close
planting of the trees is as yet the
rule. The orchards generally become
a swamp of growth in time. Little
attention is paid, again, to proper ex-
posure in the selection of the orchard
site, and to avoid stagnant air con-
ditions. So, also, our trees should
have a more severe pruning out. of
the superabundant wood growth than
might be needed with the east side
grower to obtain the same end.

on the west side. Some varieties
are resistant; the majority less so.
On the east side you can bring to
perfection many of the finer sorts
that we on the west side, because of
the influence of fungi, never can ex-
pect to do.
Another climatic influence on the
west side is also very noticeable. The
functions of vegetable growth are COM
paratively slow in that section. The
cereals there generally consume a
very much longer season of growth
than most of the Inland Empire. And
the full measure of the growth, in
the case of most of these, on the
west side means, in the yield and per-
lection of the crop, result unsur-
passed and unapproachable in other
sections. But we find in the case Of

~HE casual observer of our mar
kets on Puget Sound and our
. fruit supply, might be led to
the conclusion that so far as such
fruits as the pear and the apple are
concerned, the western half of the
state is comparatively lacking in the
conditions required to ensure the best
and most profitable production of
these fruits. And doubtless he would
be somewhat correct in coming to such
a conclusion. AS regards the other
orchard fruits most commonly grown
in the state, the cherry and the plum,
there is ground for doubt whether the
east side, the Inland Empire, could
lay any claim of advantage at all in
their production. This much, however,
can no doubt be proudly said; that

If we on the west side cannot produce
the finer highly colored sorts as is
the case under our climatic conditions,
we have no good reasons to be at all
discouraged when we can grow the
Incompatible Yellow Newtown equal
to any produced anywhere.
So that on the whole you in the In
land Empire may have the advantage
of nature to give you somewhat of a
monopoly in the production of some of
the best of the orchard fruits, but you
can only get the full possession of
it by large understanding and practice
of the conditions and essentials re-
quired to ensure success. And we
on the west side can get partial, If
not as full possession of the same
success by the strict adherence and
following of the same inf1exible rule
and guide, viz, the application of
knowledge that has come to us from
observation and experience.

Cash for State Cotton.

The board of penitentiary trustees
have succeeded in selling 800 bales
more Of short staple cotton, the pro-
duct Of the Belmont place, which was
sold to Greenwood parties at IL cents
and which will bring into the state
treasury from $4,000 to $4,000, all
the bales, as is usual with the state
cotton, being well above the average
in weight. The terms Of the sale
specify that payment must be made
in cash, and that no certified checks
or deposit notes will be recognized.
The cash will come into the treasur-
er's office at a time when it is need
ed, and will help in filing up some
Of the vacant and overdue accounts,
though it will by no means balance
the account, not by several hundred
thousand dollars.

markets. This will be followed up
next week by another carload, and

ually fine fall for the early gardens,
and everything is growing finely,
Shallots, onions, beets, parsley, les-
tuce, radishes, collards and cabbages
are rank and thrifty. The sweet po-
tato yield is much above the average
in quantity, quality and size. The
cane crop promises good yield Of

Small Vote Polled.

Official returns are coming in slow
" at the office. Of the secretary Of
state, about one-half of the counties
having been heard from. The re-
turns indicate that the estimate Of
not exceeding $4,000 votes was very
conservative, and it is improbable
that the total will reach that figure.
For instance, in Adams county only
1874 votes were polled.~ In Rankin
county, one Of the largest white coun-
ties in the central part Of the state,
only 124 votes were polled. Unless
the proportion shows decided in
crease in the counties yet to be heard
from, the total vote will not be more
than 10000 which is in striking con-
trast to $4,000 votes polled in the
democratic primary in August.

WONDERFUL GOLD
RECORD MADE
YELLOW METAL TOTALS MORE
THAN $50,0oO,0o0,
CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL
Most Unprecedented Acquisition of
Precious Coin in History Of New
York Finances Notable Advances
by Active Shares in Stock Market.

New York-The financial situa-
ton made further progress toward
the resumption Of normal conditions.
Gold was engaged to bring the total
for this movement up to more than
$5O,OOO,OOO, an unprecedented ac-
QUESTION Of the yellow metal in the
history Of New York finances. The
bank statement was more favorable
than had been expected, showing n
loss of but $4,313,OOO in the banks
cash holdings, and the stock market
was firm, most Of the active shares
showing advances ON the days trad
ing.
The bank statemnt does not show
the full benefits Of the gold received
from London as the statement is cal
culated on basis Of averages for
each day Of the week and the greater
part Of the gold was received late
in the week. Thus a statement Of
condition Of the banks at the close
OF business today would show their
cash supplies to be much larger than
under the average system of compu-
tations.
Next week there will be more ar
rivals Of gold. While the deficit in
the reserve is 100000. it should
be noted that the cash on hand is still
20 per cent Of all deposits, includ-
ing those secured by the government
and which are secured by collateral.
This is 5 per cent less than required
by the Is per cent rule, but it is 5
per cent more than the local insti-
tutions are called upon to maintain
under the state banking laws. Nota-
BILE advances were made by the active
shares in the stock market during the
week, the final sales showing higher
prices as follows:
Union Pacific, 2 1-2; United States
Steel, l 1-S; United States Steel

erican Sugar, 3.
The statement of the clearing
house banks for the week shows
that the banks hold $51, 24,625 less
than the requirements Of the rs per
cent reserve rule This is a decrease
in the proportionate cash reserve OF
$13.085, 800 as compared with last
