Their asks if the fruit would be
firmer than what is raised in warmer
localities. He says that he has some
apple trees and that they make
growth of from fifty to sixty inches
during the summer.
l would think the best this man
could do would be to make inquiry
among his neighbors, if he has any,
and see how they have succeeded In
the fruit business. Not being famil-
lar with his surroundings | could not
give very reliable advice. Three
thousand feet above sea level is not
too high for the growing of good
apples this is done in many places
in Washington. The nights will be
cooler in such a locality and as a
result the cooling moth will do less
damage than in the warm valleys.
The apples grown in such locality
will be later in ripening and will not
color as we'll as those grown where
it is warmer, but they will keep longer
Only apples that are naturally OF high
color should be raised there. IL L
lived in such a locality l should GER
tainly try apple raising and believe
that would succeed. The Baldwin, the
Spitzenburg, the Jonathan, Winesap,
Rome Beauty and Arkansas Black
ought to do we'll there. The Rome
Beauty may lack in color.
The time of year will soon be at
nt,1xr lnC
and pears can be successfully top
grated. No inferior apple or pear
should be kept growing in our orch
ards. An inferior or worthless va
riety can in about three years be
worked over to valuable sort. The
scions should be cut during the winter
or in the early spring before the sap
begins to circulate. Put them in
the cellar where they will not dry
out nor get too warm, or they may
be buried out doors in some shady
place. The grating can be done any
time from the first of March to the
first of May. Last spring on the first
day of May my son and l top-work-
ed a worthless sweet apple tree and
every graft grew and reached a
length of two to four feet. There are
several methods Of doing this kind
of work, such as cleft grating, saddle
grating and whip grating.
We almost invariably practice what
is called cleft grating. We saw off
the limbs to be grated and then split
them in the centers. Any good black
smith can make a suitable tool for
doing the splitting. Unless the limbs
are very small two scions should be
inserted, one on each side. This
should be done, though we may need
but one scion to remain permanently.

| have recently read of a man who
says that he gave up the use of liquid
spray and now uses the dust spray
because it is cheaper. There is moth
ing like the zeal of new convert.
One of the chief objections l have al
ways heard against the dust spray is
it's dirtiness. The man who does the
dust spraying on our ranch has to
wear a muzzle over his mouth and
nose to keep the dust out of his lungs.
Our hired men do not complain of the
liquid spray and l do not believe that
one of them was ever injured extern
ally or internally. But may be we

The people of Ely as a whole are
very far from what little band of
kickers assembled among them would
make them appear. On the other
hand the business men and residents
of the town are largely as enterpris-
ing, vigorous, intelligent and worthy
a lot of people as will be found in
any community. Most of them are
here to help all they can with the
growth of the entire district and are
daily putting forth their best efforts
in various ways to that end. That
the News understands this it wishes
to make perfectly clear. 1t also
knows that the efforts of these will
count and that the work they and
others of their kind, who are steadily
coming in, will do will bring about
here in the next few years the great
commercial and industrial center of
Nevada, particularly as relared to
the mining industry.

NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ELY.

We do not doubt for a minute but
that if the Nevada Northern were to
the people of lily with request for
permission to establish freight de-
pot within tile corporate limits of
the town, the same little coterie
which has been barking at the heels
of the company since its entry would
get up on its launches and howl as
loudly against the proposition as
ever they howled for it. This for
the reason that the little band, rep
resentative of the majority of the
people of Ely in no respect, is an
ungrateful, unreasoning aggregation.
1t uses no argument and is open to
none, dealing solely in uncalled for
prejudice grown from shortsighted-
ness and selfishness. No thought is
taken of the fact that without a rail
road, without the expenditure of the
millions that have been put into con-
struction of the Nevada Northern, Ely
would still be in the woods and years
removed from the tremendous pros
perity which is now close at hand
and which will benefit the kickers,
irony of fate though it is, just as
largely as those who have stood pat
for fair deal On the other hand
these fellows lose no opportunity to
throw stick in the way of the
wheels Of progress with intent
of making the going as hard as pos
sible. They are mavericks on this
range and should be so branded and
segregated If obliged to exist IN
their own company for a few weeks.
without opportunity to scatter the
poison among others, the little bun /
would wipe itself out through its
own viciousness.

recognition now, among those free

light of the turn financial affairs
have taken since that franchise APP
plication was made and turned down
that those who made the proposal
are very likely glad that they met
with refusal. 1t would seem, in the
light of general conditions, an I'M
expected piece of luck. an uninten-
tional favor that the kickers would
not have let go forth had they had
the slightest notion of the turn

THE WAR AGAINST TAFT.

The forces antagonistic to the pres
ident and to the various policies of
his administration are exceedingly
eager to unite in opposition to Judge
Taft. They are loud in proclaiming
a decline in the Taft boom. They
We're just as loud three months ago
in declaring there was no Taft boom.
They eliminate Taft by their own
peculiar methods every three months.
These things do not disturb the
American voters. They have follow
ed with wide-awake interest the
course of events under Mr.. Roose-
welt. They recognize in the president
something more than a personal par
ty leader. They have seen him eX-
pound and establish certain princi-
pies of government which had almost
been forgotten. They want to see
these principles applied to the gen.
eral conduct of public life. They
are as pleased with the course of the
president in Panama, in the Philip
pines, in Cuba and in the Japanese
Russian war as they are in connec-
ton with the reorganization of the
army, the upbuilding of the navy and
the regulation of great corporations,
In the latter process the president
may have aided largely in precipi-
tating the strenuous financial situa-
ton which has lately prevailed. Be
that as it may, the good growing
from the ripping up experienced will
far outweigh any temporary incon-
venience or loss that the country at
large may suffer. The house finan-
cial had become a stencil and cleans

that the job has been put we'll under
way. It's continuance to completion
is requisite. When the quarantine
sign does finally come down the peo-
pie win be vastly better off for the
physic administered.
The course commands public adj
miration. The people see the con-
structive measures of a whole cab
met. The president is the head of
the cabinet. He is the party leader
of his party. But his works will fol-
low him. His success iors will carry
on the work he has begun, and the
people are looking among his adj
visers for the next president. BY
general consent Judge Taft has been
selected as the exponent of these
as the man trained through
years of experience for this great and
special service. He is not acceptable
to the machine Republicans: he is not
acceptable to the corporations whom
he has antagonized; but we believe
The American people will declare
him acceptable to them.
