Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.

Charleston Bureau Evening Teller.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 18.-Promi-
nent Charleston citizens are now en-
gagged in working out the prelimi-
nary details looking toward the or
ganization of a stock company to
purchase a 100-acre tract of Clarks-
ton Heights property and plant the
same to standard varieties of win
ter apples and tokay grapes.
The proposition has been under
discussion for the past several weeks
and is considered favorably by a
number of Charleston business men,
who have signified their willing
ness to subscribe for sufficient
amount of stock to insure the pro-
ject and to make it entirely a local
affair.
The plans of the promoters pro-
vide for the purchase and planting
of the land next spring and the cul-
tivation of some profitable crop be-
tween the trees until the orchard
comes into bearing. 1t is also pro.
posed for the company to install It's
packing houses, cannery and evap-
Grating plant which will eliminate
the possibility of waste OF any part
of the crop. This plant will be Of
sufficient capacity to handle not only
the products of the 100-acre fruit
farm, but from other growers of The
Charleston Heights district.

SOMETHING new
FOR LEWISTON
CHANCE TO SECURE MARKET
DAYS IN THIS CITY THAT
HAVE PROVED GREAT TRADE
GETTERS IN MIDDLE WEST

Lewiston bids fair to add to her
commercial Importance the prestige
of market days, those great trade
stimulaters that have become so
popular in towns throughout the
Middle West. This proposition is
the only thing necessary to complete
the metropolitanism of this thriving
city. The original promoters OF
market days have called upon some
of the leading merchants this morn
ing, and the prospects are good for
the establishment of these trade get
tiers in Lewiston at an early date.
The Yakima Morning Herald of
December 10 has this to say of mar
ket days held there and the promot-
ers.
Holding of market days in North
Yakima for three days during the
last week has created considerable
interest among the merchants, some
of whom say they believe a regular
monthly market day would be good
thing for North Yakima business
men. 1t is possible after the Christ
mas rush is over such step will be
given serious consideration. S. j.
Small and w. Irysh. the Dakota men
( who promoted the market day plan
/ here, worked at some disadvantage
in organizing the first move, as such
a day had never been tried in the
state and as weather conditions were
not at all favorable for large attend.
ance.
Despite this fact, the merchant:
say they did more business OF
Thursday, Friday and Saturday o
last week than on any three day.
during the entire year. There wer,
good crowds at all the auction sales
and considerable purchasing through
this agency. The two Dakota mel
fulfilled their agreement thorough,
with the&merchants Of the city, ant
not one of the subscribers was in tn,
least dissatisfied with the work tina
was done. In other cities that the,
visit they will carry a good recon
mendation from North Yakima TO
their energy, ability and good fel
lowship."

that we have an exceptionally high nv.

lieye that Colorado will be the home

that population will In some measure
be determined by the action OF the

which will look good TO fathers and
mothers who are seeking a wholesome

their children. All the men In the Leg
islature are boosters for Colorado.
They believe In smiling and pushing.
They wish to invite capital and peo'
pie. No one seeks to invite the vicious.
the shiftless and the degenerate. We
all seek to open the way for the pur'
poseful. the Industrious. the thrifty and
the morally sound.

ABE RUFF ARRESTED.
Special Officer Has No Difficulty In
Locating Him.

San Francisco.-Abraham Ruef, the
local political boss, who, for three days.
had been in hiding to evade an order
of arrest issued by Superior Judge
Dunno, was taken into custody Friday
night at the Trocadero, a secluded sub
urban resort near the ocean beach.
The arrest was made by w. j. Biggy,
elisor of Judge Dunne's court, and De-
tective Burns, who is aiding Assistant
Attorney Heney in the work of prose-
cutting alleged municipal "grafters."
Ruef submitted as gracefully as possi-
BILE to arrest and was brought to the
city in an automobile. His custodians
stopped for an hour at the Office OF MT.
Heney while Ruef was left in the auto
mobile under guard. He was later
taken to hotel and will probably be
detained there over night.
1t is said that his captors declined
to take him to Jail on account of the
intimate political and friendly rela-
tions existing between the sheriff and
the prisoner. Ruef will be taken to
Judge Dunne's court in the morning.
This was not the only sensational de-
velopment in Fridays proceedings In
the Ruef case. Samuel NJ. Shortridge,
attorney of record for Ruef, incurred
a severe rebuke from Judge Dunno dur
ing an examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attornew Heney into the incom-
potency of Coroner Walsh, appointed
by the court as substitute for the dis
qualified sheriff O'Neil, to locate and
arrest the indicted politician.
Shortridge persisted in an effort to
enter objection to question put by
Heney. and would not be silenced by
the court. who finally adjudged him
guilty of contempt and sentenced him
to twenty-four hours imprisonment In
the county jail.
Shortridge, however, escaped imme-
diate Incarceration by applying to the
District Court of Appeals for writ oil
habeas corpus on the ground that no
contempt had been committed.
