A SUGGESTION.

A condition which greatly detracts
from the beauty of our city thorough
fares, is the rubbish found upon them.
One can go upon any of our streets and
lind pieces of sixteen-inch wood and
occasionally four-foot slabs, stones,
broken glass, etc. No matter how often
it is cleaned up, the wood wagons will
drop the wood and boys will throw
stones and glass into thea street. While
there is law prohibiting the littering
up of the streets it is hard to enforce it.
The Pilot makes this suggestion Let
each lot owner in the city keep the
street clear of rubbish in front of his
premises. This will require only a
moments work and will go long way
towards making our city beautiful. and
it will certainly be appreciated by those
who use our streets. A few have prom
ised to not only keep the streets in front
of their premises clear of rubbish but to
take care of the entire frontage of the
block on which they live. The amount
OF wood and other rubbish that is on
our streets at the present time certainly

A MORPHINE USER.

Chas. Damon, who on more than one
occasion has been mixed up in police
court affairs, was found guilty of petit
larceny in Justice Larner's court
Thursday and was sentenced to pay a
fine of $50 and costs or go to Jail for 80
days. Damon declared that his banker
had not remitted lately and that he
would take the Jail sentence.
The theft for which the man was
arrested was committed about two
weeks ago. Damon one morning
appeared at the meat market of A. +.
Stanke on the west side with what
appeared to be large green COW hide,
and which he claimed was such, and
offered it for sale Mr.. Stanke, without
examining the bundle, gave him SO 80
for it and Damon departed. Later Mr..
Stance opened the bundle and found
that instead of cow hide it CON
tanned three calf skins, which were
worth twice as much as COW hide
His suspicious were aroused and he
made inquiry of Fay Slocum, a hide
dealer, with the result that Slocum
ascertained that his warehouse had
been broken into and bundle of hides
pnrloined Damon's arrest followed.
After being placed in Jail the man be-
came quite sick and physician was
called in who ascertaiped that Damon
has been morphine user for eighteen
years. When he was cut off from a
supply of the drug he was taken sick
No doubt the excessive use of morphine
has made him law breaker and steps
will be taken to have him committed
to some institution where he may be
cured of the habit.

WAUSAU TRIAL ORCHARD
Articles Regard to From the Pen of Frederic Cranefeld
Secretary Of the Wisconsin State Horticultural Society,"
ARTICLE NO. 2

In recent issue, mention was made
of the ten year trial orchard of ten
acres on the Gensmann farm which is
maintained by the State Horticultural
society. ln that notice an urgent in
yltation was extended TO every one in
terested to visit the orchard. To those
who have not seen the orchard. but
contemplate doing so, the following
may be of interest:
The orchard consists of two parts,
the experimental orchard next to the
road consisting of three or four tiers
each of about 60 varieties of apples and
plums and the commercial" orchard
lying back from the road. The former
was planned as 'trying-out" ground
to test the hardness of varieties. At
the time this orchard was planted in
| 1897, 1t was not known what kinds OF
apples would thrive IN this locality.
The Dachess and one or two other
kinds had been planted, but many of
| the kinds which succeeded in Southern
Wisconsin had never been tried. So in
this plot was planted about everything
that had ever been grown anywhere
else in the state. OF the 60 or more
varieties, about thirty have died. A
year or two after the experimental plat
was set, list was selected of the kinds
which seemed to be hardest, and SO
trees of each kind were planted. The
trees are set 20 feet apart each way.
The orchard was not allowed to grow
up to grass, but thoroughly cultivated
every year. la this way the entire
ground was given to the trees and the
results seem to warrant such methods.
In the farm orchard this plan may be
modified to the extent of planting pota-
toes, beans and other crops between
the rows for three or four years while
the trees are small. The young or
chard, however, must not be seeded
| and used as a meadow or pasture.
Nothing is more certainly settled by
experience than this. If you are not
willing to give up piece of land to
fruit trees and cultivate it so as to give
the trees chance-if you are not will
ing to give the young trees the same
chance you give potatoes or corn, you
should not plant them The results of
hay and pasture methods of orcharding
may be seen on the majority of farms,

A CHANGE.

most delightful change in the
weather took place on Saturday. Up
to that time, we could hardly say that
we had experienced single spring day.
The night had been cold and the morn
ing was ushered in by heavy wind
and rain, but later. when the sun came
up, there was clear sky and warm
wind from the south which made the
day beautiful; everybody was out and
many went to the arbutus patches for
the fragrant flower Sunday was
another fine day and thoroughly en-
ioyed by everybody. A thunder storm
was pleasant diversion from regular
daily snow storms since May 1st. Mon
day was another warm day, full of sun
shine, and it is pretty certain now that
spring is here to stay.

and as a result the farmer blames either
the climate or the agent who sold him
the trees. Ii there are farmers near
WaGsau who have planted and re-
planted fruit trees, ending in failure,
and their honest belief is that fruit
trees cannot be grown in Marathon
county, such persons should visit the
State Horticultural society's orchard
on the Gensmann farm and take look
at the ten year old trees there. When
calling attention to these things we are
usually met with the statement that
the ''state is doing this and can afford
to employ experts and spend lots of
money, etc. The farmer cannot do
this" This is not in any sense true.
Nothing has been done in the Wausau
orchard that cannot be done by any one
of ordinary intelligence. With the
possible exception of pruning and
spraying, the work in this orchard has
consisted only of ordinary farm work.
The proper pruning of fruit trees does
not demand expert training, merely
knowledge of q few principles Any
one who is not familiar with these can
easily learn. The success of the Wau-
sau trial orchard, however, has not
been on account of expert care in prun-
ing, etc, but merely in the exercise of
common sense principles.
Even though be accused of tedious
repetition | will say again, and / want
to make it as tar as possible a personal
appeal to every reader of this paper,
plant fruit trees, apple, plum and
cherry but do not plant in sod nor in any
way neglect these trees after planting.
Cultivate between the trees until July
lst at least, and if you cannot possibly
give up the use of all of the land to the
trees, plant some crops between the
rows that demand clean culture. If
you doubt that this will pay, visit the
trial orchard on the Gensmann farm.
Go out and look it over anyway, even
If you are not planting.
To more clearly fix the location of
this orchard it may be well to state that
the farm was once owned by Ed. Single
and later by Hon. A l.. Kreutzer.

SAFETY.

Gasoline is recognized the world over as a
dangerous fuel. Wood and coal throw out
sparks, set fire to chimneys, originate fires
fresh from ash receptacles. burn out and de-
stroy the stove that confine them and in
which fire must be left burning frequently
with no one to watch it. Gas is free from
these evils and is much safer than any other
fuel.

the liquor men or at least an element
of them are trying now to offer him a
bride. 1t is not exactly a bride in the
downright, cold hard cash, nit greasing
way, but it is morally bribing. They
want John to desert the Anti-Saloon
banner and to enlist under the white
apron of the barkeeps phalanx. In
other words John has received two Of
fers to tend bar. One of the offers was
for 5000 a month and the other oner
was for the same amount. John, who
was around the Capitol building this

RELIEF CAMPS
GENERAL DAVIS APPROVES PLAN
FOR DIsCoNTINUING AID TO SAN
FRANCISCO REFUGEES.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-Major-
General w. G. Davis, who has spent
the past ten days in the inspection of
affairs relating to the methods and
accomplishments of the Relief Cor
poration, has, on the eve of his de-
parture. made this statement: II knew
before my arrival in San Francisco
that the corporation was urging its
plans toward completion by August
LIST, as that date had been indicated
as practicable, and since l have been
here | have found that a programme
will be pursued to that end. 1t seems
to me to be the eXpedient thing to do;
if the funds were unlimited the plan
might be different but at the present
rate of expenditure, all the funds will
soon be absorbed. All the work should
be closed up within a short time. There
is no doubt however, that the closing
of the corporation will occasion COM
pent and criticism, but that would be
the case if the closing were postponed
to a year from now. There are always
complaints and dissatisfaction attend
ing any action of this kind.
Certain expenses must continue for
at least a few more months. The new
Home for the Aged is nearly ready to
be occupied and this will take in all
those residents of Ingleside who are
wholly dependent on the bounty of the
corporation. I inspected the home to-
day and find that 1000 persons may be
accommodated, nearly twice as many
as are now at Ingleside.
MANY of the sick now being main
tanned in the hospitals by the corpora
ton must continue to be cared for. 1
have indicated to the corporation the
general ideas as expressed above, and
also find that the executive body as a
whole are in harmony with this clos
ing plans If all demands of the peo-
pie at large were considered, $4,000
would not be sufficient to cover those
individually. 1 don't doubt that there
will be some grief and some hurt feel
ings, but the hour of expediency has
arrived"

Advices have been received here
through various shipping agencies to
the effect that the American-Hawaiian
steamship Company's lately purchased
snip Virginia, will not be put into the
passenger service between here and
the coast as was expected, owing to
the impossibility of adapting her for
passenger traffic without seriously i'm
pairing her value as freight carrier.
AT the present time the boat is in
England, where it was expected that
the alterations would be made, but an
examination into the matter proved
the inadvisability of doing this. Whe-
Their or not the Virginia will still come
here for freight service, has not been
