TELLS OF
VISIT HERE

State Horticultural Secretary
Mrs. Martha A. Shute returned
yesterday from an extended an
nual trip through the regions of
the western slope, and she re-
ports that the counties of Mesa,
Montrose, Delta and Garfield
will yield "a larger fruit crop
than they did last year, says n
report from Denver. Mrs. Shute
says that the frost killed a great
deal of fruit but that despite
this fact, many of the trees in
Montrose county orchards have
been propped in order that the
heavily laden branches would
not break.
The fruit centers visited by Mrs.
Shute We're Paonia, Delta, Hotchkiss,
Montrose and Grand Junction. At
every station she was met by com
mittees and shown the prospectus for
the late summer and early fail pro-
duction. In each community. Mrs.
Shute visited the orchards and was
much pleased with the way the fruit
is being grown and shipped. She
says there is a great crop of apples.
The peaches will yield fairly and the
usual crop of pears is assured.
According to Mrs. Shute, there are
but few insects in the orchards and
| little disease on the trees. The var
iety of apples is large. Among the
most prominent types which the
slope will produce are Jonatnans
Winesaps, Ganos, York Imperials.
Grimes Golden, Ben Davis, Missouri
Pippins, Mammoth Black Twigs,
Wagners and Rawles Jenet. They
will produce in quantity in the order
named.
In the Ashenfelter orchard of 800
acres, one of the largest orchards in
the great fruit belt, Mrs. Shute saw
22 acres of peaches, although 500
crates of peaches this year have been
shipped. The trees average three
boxes of peaches each. The Alberta
peaches will be on the market about
Sept. 70.
Mrs. Shute reports a good crop of
prunes and "a quantity of Satsuma
plums. She recommends them to
housekeepers for preserving because
they are a blood red plum with
plenty of rich meat and small stone.
Mrs. Snute was assured that Mesa,
Montrose and Delta counties would
send exhibits to both the state and
interstate fairs, and she says that the
counties of Delta and Montrose will
send both agricultural and horticul-
tural exhibits. Committees are al
ready busy arranging for the ship
ment of the fruit. The two counties
are each working for the general
prize. Mesa county will attempt to
carry off the prize for a superb fruit
exhibit
Although she did not stop in Gar
field county, Mrs. Shute said that
there was an abundance of fruit in
this district and that the same was
true of Fremont county. The trees
are loaded in the orchards of both
counties.

| When questioned by DR.. C. Wall,
ambulance physician at the Harrison
street station Slavin refused to say
anything more than that he had
taken codine. His condition is not
serious. An examination by the ply
sician revealed traces of opium pois-
oning.
Bit by bit the story of Slavin's
affairs were secured by Inspector
Wheeler as he tossed on a cot at the
Harrison street emergency hospital.
He said that he had come to Chicago
a week ago and had been staying at
the Delprado hotel. Before arriving
in the city, however. he was robbed
of all the cash he had in his posses
sion, $11O he said.
He started out in search of a
friend, who he believed would pro-
vide him with funds, Sunday night,
according to his story. Just what
happened he is unable to say. He
does know, however, that he visited
number of leyee saloons and that
he consumed many drinks.
When at last he got away from
his companion whose name he could
not remember, he said he became
respondent and decided to end his
life. Where he got the poison or how
long he walked after swallowing it
he either could not or would not tell
the police.
John j. Slavin is well known in
Denver, having been for several
years connected with the Santa Fe.
For the past two years he has been
city ticket agent in the office of the
Denver general passenger agent,
Joshua p. Hall. Slavin resigned his
position ten days ago and left for
Chicago, where he said he was to
take a position with one of the rail-
roads. He is unmarried and resided
at 30S Twenty-second street.

Judoe Pritchard Sustained.

Although somewhat disappointed at
the action Of the United States circuit
court of appeals in sustaining Judge
Pritchard in the dispensary fund case,
we cannot claim that we are very much
surprised.
At no time since the establishment Of
the South Carolina dispensary have we
been able to reconcile ourselves to the
belief that state conduct of the liquor
business, or Of any other business,
was in accord with common right or
the constitution of the United States,
ly legal standpoint, Judge Pritchard's
ruling is as sound as could be desired.
Because of the complicated nature of
this case, however, the business being
conducted by the state through agents,
or by agents for the state, we felt that
there could be an equally sound legal
opinion either way, and that the court
was free to decide in accordance with
it's bent We make no great profess
sion at being skilled in the law; but
notwithstanding this decision, we are
still inclined to hold to the view just
expressed.
But again, we are frank to say that
in our opinion this fund about which
the litigants were fighting was never
the real issue in the case. 1t was the
real issue before Judge Pritchard and
the real issue, of course, before the
United States court of appeals; but the
whether the state Of South Carolina
should have jurisdiction and power to
make the whisky houses that have been
mixed up in questionable transactions
with the former representatives of the
state, either tell what they knew or
make good all the different sums that
have not properly been accounted for.
AS to what becomes of this big fund
that is the ostensible bone of conten-
ton, we care very little. 1t makes lit
tie difference as to whether it goes
to the liquor concerns, the state, or
the lawyers. The thing that worries
US most is that because of the long de-
lay, and the loss of the principal club
upon which the state was depending
as a means of securing the necessary
testimony, the most culpable parties in
the whole transaction will go entirely
without seattle for the great injury
they have done the public.
1t is the purpose of the governor and
attorney general, no doubt, to carry
the case on to the supreme court of
the United States. That is probably
the best thing to be done under the cir
cumstances, but as we see it, it is
matter Of little consequence whether
the state finally wins or loses. The
accused dispensary officials have al
ready had the advantage Of enough
delay to enable them to put conviction
beyond the range of reasonable posi-
bility, and after one, two or three more
years of delay in the United States
court, the cases against them will be
entirely forgotten.

quaintances, of which he has quite
number in this town. Mr. McMastel
was admitted to the bar shortly after
leaving college; but soon gravitateo
into the newspaper business, first as
an editor and afterward as a business
manager. He did good work for the
Columbia Record the Charleston Post

named paper he was working when
elected to his present position. AS in
surance commissioner, he is rapidly
making good, just as those who know
him best, expected. By nature, he Is
thorough gentleman, always consid-
crate of all who are deserving Of con-
sideration: but at the same time, be-
cause of the peculiar nature Of his past
business and professional experience
he has a pretty thorough knowledge OF
men and their ways, and is not easily
deceived by outward appearances. He
has already accomplished some good
work for the state, and he can be
counted on for more.

Real Estate.

Notwithstanding the fact that it has
become common to hear people talking
that there must soon be a decline in
real estate values, we are not very
much impressed with such talk. On
the contrary, we think that real es-
tate is as good an investment in this
country as it has ever been, and we
are unable to see anything in existing
conditions that seems to threaten 9TH
erwise.
The principal argument against the
maintenance of present real estate
values is the decline of cotton to some
thing like old time figures. AS we see
it, this decline is, at the worst, only
temporary; but even if it were estab-
lished that it would be permanent, we
are inclined to the opinion that it
would be quite while before real es-
tate values would suffer considerably
1t is not to be denied that real es-
tate as we'll as practically all other
values in this country are based upon
the price of cotton. This is a fact, but
there is another important fact in this
connection that the average business
man does not take into consideration.
This fact is that during practically all
Of the latter half of the period of de-
preston that lasted from about 1887 to
1908, real estate values were too low
The country made commercial progress,
even during that DeriOd. but this prog
reSs was not reflected in real estate

THAT is an interesting editorial
statement that the Anderson Daily
Mail makes about the case OF
John McGaha. To be sure, there is
nothing new or novel about the facts,
as related by the Daily Mail. We have
all seen practically the same thing in
almost every county Of the state ex-
cept Spartanburg, Cherokee and Hor-
ry. The most sensational feature of
this case is the Daily Nails clear, bold,
blunt, and we have no doubt, altogeth-
er truthful presentation Of it. The
moral to the story is that there is very
little protection to human life in South
Carolina; that criminals through their
attorneys frequently make monkeys of
the juries, and that the principal de-
torrents to would-be murderers are
fear of their intended victims or their
friends. 1t is time to begin the es-
tablishment of the supremacy Of the
