the tube registers the tension, which

A GOOD SIGN.

Salt Lake Telegram:-A dispatch
says that there is something like a
rush OF small investors In railroad
stocks This is an Indication that
men have begun to reason, that their
conclusions have taken a sensible
form; that this great furry has not
been an earthquake that business
must pretty soon resume its normal
state; that railroad stocks, at least
the stocks Of many railroads, are
away below their normal value and
that they must advance. Every
million that can be called out from
the strong boxes ana invested In this
way will add to the returning conf
dence, and there Is no reason why
things should not assume a normal
condition very soon. This has been
like no other panic. The panics Of
1873 and 1893 came from want Of
money which was not In the country.
This late panic is from fear that some
thing was going to happen, which
caused men to lock up their funds
Anything that will loosen the locks
OF the strong boxes will help. There
is money enough In the country, all
that Is necessary is to bring II out,
and the best way TO bring it out be-
fore congress meets is to do something
to set the stocks going, because men
will gamble in stocks and nothing can
long keep them from it except want
OF money.

GROW APPLES-IT PAYS.

Recent reference to the Bear River
valley apple crop brings to hand other
specific detail regarding that crop and
the returns therefrom. We publish
such extracts as space admits, for the
purpose OF encouraging local horticul.
turists, conditions tor apple growing
in this valley being similar to those
In Bear river valley. The Tremonton
Times says:
''Stacy & Sons, of Minneapolis, have
paid Mr.. Harry Seager $500 an acre for
the apples grown on his ten-year-old
orchard. Mr.. Seager sold early and at
present prices the returns would have
been nearly 81 200 an acre.
zone day last week we were invited
by Mr.. F. II TrOxell to visit the
orchards OF Walter Green and Rasmus
Hansen near Elwood, and OF course
we vent. We came to Mr.. Green's
place first and went into his. orchard
where several men we're just finishing
the picking His crop consisted main.
ly of Winter Banana and Ben Davis.
or the Banana he had 65 trees from
which he had picked 600 boxes Of large
marketable apples. and we judge there
were % bushels on the ground that
had fallen while the picking was
going on. We did not Inquire as to
the extent Of his Ben Davis crop but
there we're many trees loaded with
from qtOht IN ten hOYQa IN tho fran
and some OF the branches we're broken
with the weight OF the apples And
here we noticed singular thing.
While the Banana trees bore equally
large and probably heavier loads than
the Ben Davis, there was not broken
limb on the Banana trees. The limbs
are very long slender aud tough and
their willowy shape fits them peculiar
ly for their large loads. His IS trees
occupy about half an acre OF land and
at O dollar q box about twO-thirds
what they are worth this YEAR,, his
crop brings him 81 200 an acre. Pretty
good, even for Bear river valley.
There are probably 600 acres of
apple orchards in Cache county at
present and the prospect Is that more
acres will be planted next spring.
Horticulturists say that Cache valley
should be second Hood river and 1t
begins to look like the opportunity
here is being grasped, slowly but
