Wealth in Small Orchards.

The Wenatches World publishes
an interesting story of success in or
charding under the system of inten-
sive cultivation of irrigated lands in
Chelan county. A fruit grower, re-
siding near Cashmere, has nine
year-old orchard, comprising a little
less than eight acres. 1t is set to
cherry and apple trees, all of which
are in excellent condition. Last wear
the seventy-two cherry trees produc-
ed fruits which sold for enough TO

Owning q Home.

The Spokane Chronicle gives some
good advice to it's readers in urging
all who can to acquire "a piece of
land" And the advice is not bad at
all and has special adoption for
Olympia. Property values are on the
increase and will continue as long as
the town grows.
Those who do not own land must
pay for the privilege of living on
land to the owner of the land. The
more persons there are competing
for the privilege the greater returns
of the land owners.
The man that owns a "piece of
land" has a refuge He has legal
right 10 live. He cannot be evicted
from the earth. Inside the bounds
of his "piece of land" he is a sover-
eign-a petty sovereign. No police
man, sheriff, or other guardian of
society may come along and take
him by the nape of the neck and
ask him to show cause why he should
not be put on the rock pile for va
grancy. He need ask no man for a
job. When his crops are planted,
the sun and rain will work for him.
His pay will not be locked on rainy
days, and the factory will not close
down.
The man with a piece Of land"
can collect tribute from the man that
works it, if he be not disposed to
the joys of life in the open A wide
gulf separates him from the landless.
1t is the gulf that separates the wolf
from the lamb, the dog on top from
the under dog. A piece of land is
worth having. The above is good
logic--a good thing for people who
work on a salary or rent land, to
think about.

Rumors of weddings reached Pc
shastin from time to time, and dis
mayed by the steady entertainments
of marriagable women, the Bachelors

One after another they deserted

there, but those pristine lords of
creation have ducked-escaped.

Increasing.
A few years ago the average farm
er required quarter section of land
to insure him enough income to get
along from year to year. Many fail
ed to make a success of the work,
even with that sized tract given them
by the government or some ances-
tors. But a change has come over
the earth and its Inhabitants. The
little farm well titled carries the key
to prosperity. That is true in Che
Ian county under irrigation, and
also applies to other sections where
the soil, climate and natural condi-
lions are favorable. The lesson is
plain enough for all to heed and get
some land for intensive cultivation.

One for Storch.

The Okanogan Record in its last
isue has the following to say of A.
NJ. Storch, a former resident of We
natchee, and those acquainted with
the gentleman will appreciate the
diagnosis" as set forth.
"A. NJ. Storch was up from Okan-
ogan Friday, where he appeared be-
fore the commissioners in behalf OF
improvements in the Salmon creek
road. Mr.. Storch is a hustler. His
parents gave him the initials of A.
NJ. because he was such an early
riser. He retains this popularity
and always gets up in the forenoon,
sun-up or no sun-up. His habits are
regular. The first thing he does is
to tuck napkin in his neck and eat
a bigger dinner than anybody else in
town. After this he goes out and
sells all the real estate in town and
in the evening eXerts himself to see
that the young ladies of the town dc
not get lonesome. He is very popu-
lar with the young ladies and is just
a little proud of the fact. One can
imagine as much by his conduct
when he visits Conconully."

Presently something in the unnatural

A LETTER To ADVERTISERS.

Charles S. Young, who is in charge
of the advertising of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, had
this to say recently in an interview
that appeared in the Milwaukee
Journal:
In the four years that have
been with the company it's newspaper
advertising has grown ten percent
to seventy per cent. That ought to
satisfy anyone as to our ideas on the
value of the newspapers.
1--WE have cut out all this novelty
advertising that was INDUCED in so
heavily for time by advertisers
generally. No more clocks, inkstands
and that sort of thing for us. We
now confine our efforts to few dis
tinct forms of advertising, principal
ly newspapers, magazines, and oul
own booklets.
As a result the Milwaukee road
is working up one of the largest
correspondence bureaus maintained
by any railroad in the United States.
We are getting as many as 500 in
quiries day regarding business
opportunities, probable town sites.
ETC., along the extension we are maxi
ing on the Pacific coast, and regard
inS land in the Dakotas.

cooking utensils. Again they were
called on for assistance, and again. aft
er some Of the unsatisfactory supper
had been forced down, the dishes and
food were left upon the table to await
the time when it would be necessary
to remove them.
One day longer the men folks cook:
ing was persisted in, but by that time
the pleasant kitchen had been trans
formed from a place Of orderliness to
a den of chaotic neglect. No dishes
had been washed, and many conflict
ing foods had been cooked In the same
utensil without the separating use Of
soap and water.
So the next morning Jake was sent
unceremoniously to Mary Browns with
orders to bring the wimmen folks home
whether or no.
"Jest tell 'em we're too busy with
the hoein' now to bother with cookin', !"
Johnson snarled. IF twas any other
time we wouldn't care continental
whether they come or stayed
But when Jake returned with the
information that Mary Brown had nei-
Their seen nor heard OF them his anger
gave place TO wonder and then to dis
may. What was he to DO?
IN the end he sent for one of the
Gould girls to come and Do the house
work and after two days sent her back
and engaged one of the Cady girls.
But she Was no better.
Then he tried it again himself, but
with even less satisfaction than before.
Ee had not dreamed that homework
was SO endless and exasperating, and
before the week was out was so far
humbied as TO acknowledge to Jake liz
private that he would rather hoe corn
sixteen hours day than prepare a
single meal Of victuals.
Then why don't We git the wimmen
folks back? Jake asked bluntly.
Another two days brought johnson to
the limit of his endurance, and then
came relief in the shape of letter
from the city. 1t read:
