The country northwest Of Grant 1
Junction is improving faster than any
other in the valley. The young trees
set out last spring made n fancy
growth and the men who are buying
land out that way understand what
they are doing. The big money Is
going to be made that way the next
Ave years.

Some remarkable stories are told
of the fancy prices realized for fan
cy fruits. The Los Angeles Times
recently reported the following.
1.-THE recent sale of number OF box
.ss tn winter banana apples At uand
river at SIS a box has brought up the
question of record prices for apples
The horticultural annals of the state
show that in 1856 one box of Spitz-
enberg apples grown in the Williams
ette valley and shipped 10 San Fran
cisco netted the shipper SEQ. In the
same year three boxes of Winesaps
were sold in Portland for $1O2, or
S34 a box. In 1885 6.OOO boxes or
apples grown iri Oregon were sold at
prices which netted the shipper $40
to $40 a bushel. In 1854 500 boxes
were sold at from $50 to $50 a box.
The first lot of apples grown on graz
ted trees were sold in Portland by
the grower. Henderson Luelling. at
81 an apple.

CLEARED $500 ON
TENTH OF ACRE.
lhats What Mesa County Man Did With Asparagus
Woman Cleared $500 On Same Size Tract-l3
Acres Average 80 Tons Of Beets to the
Acre--Fresh and Interesting
Local Fruit Stories.

A letter recently received by the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION from the large commission
house Of p. RuhlmaH & Co. New
York City, contains an interesting
item regarding the question of bet
ter srading and packing for fancy
fruits. The letter says: Oregon
sends some very fancy Spitzenbergs
here. also Newton Pippins, and the
fruit is simply superbly packed: side
wrappers upon the boxes. every apple
wrapped, paper between each layer
like blotting paper and a fancy la
bel used, and the fruit is put up in
the most attractive manner" In con-
neetion with this statement is the
information gained from Mr.. ]. ".
Peyton of North Yakima. Washing
ton. that the inspector at his city re-
fused to allow the shipment of the
second grade fruit in car lots. and
that only the fancy grade is shipped
will convince our growers that the
inspection methods adopted by our
association is not yet close erough
and that If we are going to hold up
our prices We must look carefully to
the fancy fruits we ship. If the
choice grade can be shipped to an ad-
vantage there is no reason why those
who can not afford the best should
lot have the seconds. Texas and
other states will take nothing else.

Manager Moore met many of the
customers of the association among
the commission men at Chicago dur
ing his recent visit and has many in
teresting stories to tell. One big
commission man undertook to get
our little manager in a corner by tel
ling n bunch of twenty-five about n
deal wherein he was held up for SO
for a car of Choice Jonathans last
fall; how he kicked and got cut
and wanted more and then got left
when he came to sell them. Mr..
Moore turned the tables on his friend
by making him admit that he had al
most always made money on Grand
Valley fruit and had always been
royalty treated by the Grand Jun
ction association. He admitted to
making s35c on a single car and sew
eral other nice fat slices of money.
1t takes a good one to get ahead of
Manager Moore when it comes to the
fruit business.

A Compliment To Our Sayings Banks.

New Jersey bankers take consider
able pride in the announcement from
Washington TINT hereafter securities
acceptable to the savings banks Of
New Jersey will be acceptable to the
United States Treasury as security
for surplus Government currency
placed III national banks This means
that the security behind every dollar
deposited IN savings bank in this
State is regarded by the best fnan-
ciers Of the country az being absolute
ly gilt edged. In other words, say
ings banks patrons IN this State are
protected almost az well as if their
money were IN Federal bonds.
1t was not many years ago that
national banks had to deposit Unite d
States bonds ns security for Govern
ment deposits. The rule was later
extended whereby many municipal
bonds were made acceptable. The
rule has now been advanced and
broadened to the point that nation
al bank may obtain treasury deposits
on any kind Of security that will be
accepted, or rather can be accepted
by Swings banks in certain States
for loans. Among the States men.
toned is New Jersey, which probably
has the most stringent regulations
governing savings institutions that
exist in the country.
In this State the savings banks arc
required to confine their investments
70 Government bonds, and State
municipal or district obligations
under severe restrictions.
First mortgage railroad bonds tina
pay per cent. and have never de
faulted on principal or interest, may
be taken as security for loans o.
bought for Investment purposes. Tn,
bonds must be in existence five year
before they are eligible.

UP TO THE BUSINESS MEN.
A Farmer Tells Why He Patronzes I
Catalnnue Stores.

The local newspaper stands as
Waterman on high tower, in the
protection of home industries and
and business interests, and believes
that the mail order house is foe to
the property of the small towns. In
answer to the articles which frequent
ly appear i'll print in this defence
farmer in one of our states has this to
say:
If the mail order honses get 81 900
ont of this county each month that
belongs to the home merchants, the
fault is with the merchants them
selves The mail order houses adver-
tise and give MS prices ON everything
they offer for sale They tell us what
they offer for sale Tell us what they
have and what they want for it. OF
course We get soaked once in n while,
and if we do we can try some other
house Most of the merchants who ad
yertise Mt all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what We want to
knew-the price. OF course We ean
go to the store and ask for the price
of this article and that, but You know
how it is: one doesn't know ms we'll
exactly what he wants to buy when he
gets in store ms when he is home.
Here is where the mail order houses
make their hit, They send us their
advertising matter to our homes and
we read il when we have nothing else
to do and every member Of the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other
member of the family wants and
many orders are made up and sent
ont Just Mt such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down If he talked up his
business to us i'll our homes the same
as the mail order houses do, the PEG
pie would be i'll to see him the next
time they came to town and in many
cases extra trips would be made to
get the things ut once that we didn't
know we wanted until they were
brought to our attention.

A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
Prominent Citizen Charged With Tritlng
With Widows Affection.

ting OF at least not needing the nd
vice of the immortal Mr. Weller to

was not attached to her, In. however
tint may have been the widow be
came attached To him, and as he
seems to have lost interest IN the
matter she has attached his property,
which ls form Of attachment that he
does not enjoy
The result is, that he finds himself
the defendant III n firstclass Breach of
Promise Case and his questionable at
titnde towards the widow will be
given an airing m the near future
The parties In the ease are ~ prom
inent that II is feared no court room
will hold the vast crowd desirous Of
attending the trinl, so it will be held
IN st. Johns Hall, on Wednesday
evening evening, November 27th,
under the auspices of Franklin Castle,
No. 81, Knights of Golden Eagle,
for whose benefit the proceeds will be
devoted.
Ia other words, II will be n Mock
Court Trial, aud IT promises to be
one Of the most enjoyable affairs o:
many years, as large number of our
leading people viii participate in the
proceedings.
The committee having The trial in
charge have engaged Col A. V New
ton, the well-known lawyer lecturer
of Worcester. Mass, to attend to the
details and personally conduct the
entertainment.
Col Newton has had remarkable
success in conducting similar enter
tainments and without doubt the
Breach Of Promise Trial will be here
AS elsewhere, an event long to be re

Our State Is Free of Debt.

Comptroller J. Willard Morgan Oh
closing the books of the State for the
1907 fiscal year, sent the following
letter to Governor Stokes, certifying
to the State being ont Of debt, all
bills paid and 81 800, OBS A surplus in
bank, ready to meet the 1903 appro-
priations. The balance at this time
last year was s2.os4, s9l. 80. The
Comptroller's letter to the Governor
follows
"My Dear Sir-The c'ose Of the
States fiscal year shows a balance of
81 800. OBS. Al. That this balance is
less than that of last year is due to
the failure of the railroad companies
to pay some $500, 600 of the State tax,
pending litigation, and the necessity
of increased accommodations in our
humanitarian and charitable institu-
tions, our reformatories and penal in
stitutions.

PUT YOUR CASH IN BANK

Cer
Present No Time To Hoard Put II In

The effects of the financial disturb
uuee are now extending into the com
mereial world For selfprotcction
the hanka are compelled to materially
restrict there credit operations Many
business concerns will consequently
have much difficulty in renewing oh
legations, and business will naturally
BIO compelled 10 contract more or less
IN accordance with the restriction of
credit. How far this contraction will
90 and with whit consequences 1T is
impossible to predict, but the sooner
the fact IL recognized TINT general
business must take its share of the
present depression which has inllen
upon Wall street, the better for all
concerned. Everything possible
should now be done 10 rebuild conf
denee aud credit. IIoarded money
should be restored TO the banks in
order to enable them to better grant
the accommodations which 1t is their
business to furnish. It IL sheer folly
TO take money ont of the banks aud
hide 1t III stockings or safe deposit
boxes. If dcpostors ARE unwilling TO
invest their funds they should put
them III sound banking institutions,
OF which there ARE plenty, and not de
priye the community of the life blood

put baek into the banks, so that the
hitter can exercise their Legitimate
functions of giving credit, and recoy=
