MONEY IN THE ORCHARDS.
(Seattle Post -Intelligencer.)

The Waitsburg Gazette announces
that many homeseekers are looking
over that rich section of Walla Walla
county They are searching for com
mercial orchards having choice varie-
ties of fruit trees in bearing. They
nave plenty of money, and are willing
to pay the highest prices for anythin;,
The buyers represent enterprising
men from different states, who have
been attracted to the country by vari-
ous exhibits of fine fruits They know
that there is a great demand for the
products of every orchard in the land,
and are anxious to get possession of
the best paying proposition obtainabLe.
Waitsburg has had some favorable
publicity as an APPLE growing district.
It was near that city that one orchard
Of so acres gave the owner an income
Of $4,000. over all expenses. during the
year Of 1907. That orchard is not for
sale. because it is equal to a gold mine

Orchard planting offers an oppor-

the orchard in one year gave greater
cash returns than he had been able to
make during 20 years at teaching
school. He left the ranks of the con-
sumers and became a producer His
profits increased with the DEVELOPMENT
OF his orchard and the demand for the
fruits that came from mature trees.

Pollution of Office,

The announcement Of J. J. Huffman's
candidacy for city justice sets us to
wondering how long this Office seeking
creature will have the nerve
to foster himself on the people Of Wal
la Walla, in assuming the ironical
name of justice. How long the decent
element will submit to the occupancy
of this dignified and judicial position
by a common saloon hanger ON, who
assumes his judicial chair contamin-
ated with the filthy fumes of the dive,
and makes a farce Of his attempts to
deal out justice to his fellowmen.
Watch this man as he energies from
his office each day. Does he wend his
way homeward? Or does he mingle
with the reputable citizens of the town?
Hardly. You will see him go straight
as the crow flies" to some beer selling
Joint and can be found there "hic-up-
ing" over the bar even into the wee
small hours Then we wonder as did
the people of Egypt in the twenty
year scourge, How Long, Oh Lord, How
Long.

NOW UP TO THE VOTERS.

The time having expired for the
filing Of notices of candidacy in the
city election to be held in July, voters
will now be compelled to select from
the announced candidates, those
deemed to be best qualified to admins
ter to the affairs of the city. If voters
are dissatisfied in any way with th5'
various candidates up for election they
have only themselves to blame. Ample
time was afforded voters to put men in
The field who are fully qualified to look
after the affairs Of the city. In the Sc
lection of councilmen, this is especial
knows, the various candidates for coun-
cilmanic honors are all men of some
standing in the community, some prob
ably more prominen than others and
undoubtedly far better qualified to
guide the citys affairs. A councilman TO
judiciously handle city affairs should
be a thorough business man, progress
sive yet conservative and one of I'M
doubted integrity. A man with no
business training cannot be expected
to handle in q competent way, the
receipt and expenditure of nearly a
quarter of a million dollars a year. nor
forsee the requirements of the city in
course, but the exception is not the
rule. The affairs of the city should be
managed in the same manner that
private business is managed. The prob
able receipts should be carefully esti-
mated and the probable expenses
studied closely. The councilmen SHOULD
be regarded the same as department
managers Of a big store and their Sc
lection should be made with a view 70
their fitness for the position, using
the same care as do the owners Of big
enterprises in selecting their subordi-
mates. Mismanagement in any depart
ment, either in the city's affairs or a
zig industrial enterprise will have the
same disastrous effect on the whole
For that reason voters will do well t.
closely study the various candidate
FOR the city council before making a
decision as to those best qualified to
administer the city's affairs.

The severe losses sustained by fruit
growers last year owing to the inability
of the railroads TO provide sufficient
cars is TO be done away with this sea-
son by the inauguration of a fast fruit
train which is TO be run east daily
during the entire season. According to
the announced plans of the Northern
Pacific the fruit train will be assembled
at PaSCo. Loaded cars from Walla
Walla, FreeWater, Kennewick and the
Yakima districts will be sent to Pasco
where the train is to be made up and
sent on its eastward journey at ex-
press speed.
This will be a new departure in
banding perishable fruit and will rev.
olutionize the methods Of shipments to
various eastern points A special fruit
train will prove great boon to fruit
growers of the state and it is expected
will greatly stimulate the Industry in
all branches.
