WILL HAVE A FAIR CROP
Apples are Found in Some of the
Orchards.
BYERs ARE ALREADY HERE
Growers Are Making an Effort to
Get All Peach Trees with Yellows
Destroyed.

The orchardists are going after the
peach yellows. Mr.. d. Gold Miller
started on Wednesday on an inspec-
ton of the orchards OF the county. 1t
is the desire of the fruit growers to
locate all orchards and trees that
have the yellows with a view to hav
ing the trees killed. Other fruit men
will so over the county in a few days
and help Mr.. Miller insthe Inspection.
The growers hope to be able TO get
all the tree owners to cut out the In
tested trees and after awhile the
county will be rid of infested or.
ehards.
The outlook for an apple crop In
the county is not as gloomy as It was
some time ago. Many OF the orchards
are showing apples on the trees but
there viii not be anything like a full
crop. The crop all over the country
Is light this year and In consequence
the growers expect to get good prices
for the fruit.
From what can be gathered from
the inspections of the apple orchards
BY the buyers 1t is estimated that
there will be about third of the ay-
erage crop This will mean Ia the
neighborhood of 10000 barrels The
average crop In the bearing year Ii
about 10000 barrels. AS this is the
fruit year In this section the growers
expected that We would have a full
| crop In the county The freezes this
spring killed nearly all the buds and
for time it was thought that there
would not be an apple. There are
no peaches OF any consequence. Some
| orchards may give enough so that the
owner will not forget what peach
tastes like. but there are only few
who will have enough for the house.

North Martinsburg has some of the
most substantial citizens OF the town

In that section should be given con-
sideration as well as the people who
live on the south side of the railroad.
The paving of the two blocks on
Queen street has been the most ad-
vanced step in the way of progress
that the city has made for some
years. There is no word of criticism
to be heard anywhere and everyone
seems anxious to have as many blocks
paved as possible. The general opin-
ion is that the street should be paved
from the Baltimore and Ohio station
to the Cumberland Valley station and
to the Baltimore and Ohio crossing.
If the people of North Martinsburg
are willing to stand the cost of the
paving across the railroad there is no
reason why the street cannot be paw.

The question of the expense and

MAIL BOX ROBBERS
DO ANOTHER JOB
RIFLE BOX AT JEFFERSON AND
FlGUEROA STREETS
Are Believed to Be Members Of the
Same Gang Who Operated Sue
cessfully Few
Weeks Ago

Mail box robbers are still active In
Los Angeles and, according to the Of
ficers members of the same gang that
recently robbed so many boxes are DO
ing the work.
Some time Friday night the box at
jefferson and Figueroa streets was
broken open and robbed of all It's con-
tents. The robbery was not discoV-
cred until early yesterday morning
when the mail collector found the lock
broken from the box and the door open
He reported the matter to. the post
office and inspectors were detailed on
the case. The local police were also
notified and the officers were instructed
to watch the mail boxes on their beats
closely and arrest any person actlng IN
a suspicious manner near them.
The mode followed by the ones who
robbed the box Friday night was the
same as that in the previous robberies
A lever or Jimmy was forced be-
tween the lock and the box and the
staple which serves as the connecting
link was broken.
From tracks near the box 1t is be-
lieVed that two men did the work. The
marks of large shoes were plainly to
be seen about the post on which the
box hung.
So far no clews have been discovered
by either the postoffice inspectors OF
the police in regard to the identity OF
the robbers who have been rifling the
boxes, despite the fact that detectives
have been working on the case for
several weeks.
