have netted him from $700 to $500
per acre per year. Apples do the
same; and l am really afraid to put
down what one man told me he got
from his pear trees. The cashier of
the national bank tells me that there
has never been a foreclosure on fruit
land since he has been in the valley,
though most of ii is held by men
who have bought it on time.
There are some very amusing feat
ures to this intensive cultivation. 1t
is a common saying that Palisade
fruit grower has his trees all named;
and | am sure that each grower has
personal acquaintance with each
tree. Mr.. Oliver walked along, tell
ing me the history of each tree as
we passed, how he had budded this
one and trimmed back that one, and
other mysteries that | could not even
remember They have taken out the
fences at Palisade, because fences
take up too much room. One farmer
wanted a porch built onto his house.
and gave the dimensions to the car
penter. The carpenter reported that
this would necessitate cutting down
cherry tree; whereat the farmer
made answer to cut down the porch.
In summer the north road there is
sprinkled for three miles out of town.
| remarked on the luxury of farm
life in that community; and was
laughed at The road is sprinkled to
keep the dust off the fruit. the com
fort of dwellers and passersby is
merely incidental.
And then, down below Iona, l saw
where V. u. Reed has set about to
make a new Palisade. Mr.. Reed is
one of those empire builders who
doesn't ask a special privilege for his
construction operations. His first
work was to straighten out the water
tangle that made the lower valley an
unsafe investment for so long. Then
about him, and proceeded to profit
by the information they had gained
in years of study and experiment.
He learned that subsoiling the ground
greatly increased its orchard posi-
bilities. Therefore. before he sold
his ground to actual settlers he sub
soiled it. to make sure that the work
would be done. The early settlers
at Palisade planted what are now
called sample orchards" a little of
everything. Reed weeded out the
varieties of fruit that had proven un-
fit for the valley, and planted his
land with four kinds of apples, kinds
which have made fortunes for their
planters farther up the valley The
whole work has proceeded along the
same broad, enlightened lines; and
the result is the practical addition OF
new county to the fruit belt OF
Colorado.
Yet the two most impressive things

| have been spending a few days
the Grand valley, seeing things
~ day, and hearing things by night.
/ have been talking with some of the
builders. of the men who do things
to nature. instead of to their fellow
men. And ] have come to the con-
clusion once more that we don't know
either our blessings or our opportun-
titles: and that any human being who
was lucky enough to be born at a
time and in n land that gave him
a chance at some of the things spread
out before us had all the good things
he can properly expect at the hand
of fate. If he wants more, let him
hustle for 1t.
Most of my time was spent at Pal
isade and Iona. Iona is coming and
Palisade has arrived. If you want to
know the possibilities of our soil and
climate under the fertilizing touch of
water go to Palisade. There. along
the north side of the valley is great
cliff, a thousand feet high, that
catches the heat of the MONDAY sun,
and radiates it at night to the land.
In England they build walls and
train peach trees against them. Here
the wall is ready made. Up and down
that valley for miles are the or
chards; peach and apple and peach
again The nearer the orchard is to
the cliff the earlier ii ripens its
fruit. But the fruit ripens anywhere
in the neighborhood.
I had a delightful talk with Mr..
Oliver, the man who set out the first
peach orchard at Palisade. Crazy
oliver they called him in those days
when they saw him hauling water
from the river to give his peach trees
a drink. Now, the only trouble Mr.
oliver has is to know how to spend
his income He has been to Europe
but that wouldn't do it. He has
spent winters in California, and still
his bank account will grow. He
,npesn't want TO run for office and he
,besn't like to live in New York: so
what can the poor man do? | may
add that those who called Mr., Oil
yer crazy, and knew" that there
want no use trying to raise fruit out
in the desert. have no such troubles.
1t was something of shock to be
told that more than fifty farmer fam
lilies from that one little district are
spending their winter abroad or in
southern California. 1t was more OF
a shock to learn the income they de-
rived from their orchards, and the
price they asked for the same. WITH
one exception. the lowest price quot
ed on bearing orchard was S2.OOu

$4,000 per acre. OF the yield, | need
only say that ii seems to justify the

saw in the Grand valley We're not
among the works of men. They We're
the silt on the alfalfa field, and the
coal seams and marble and sandstone
of the hills.
The silt first. 1t was the gift OF
the Grand river. even as Egypt is the
gift of the Nile. II had been brought
in with the water in an irrigatins
ditch, and deposited in a fine. red
brown layer on the alfalfa. II was
so much solid plant food; the rich
est of mountain soil spread out on the
plains. 1t is a deeper layer-so |
am told by one who knows-than
that which is left by the retreating
floods of the Nile. The Nile valley
has been cropped for more than TO-,
600 years; and is richer today than
ever before. The Grand valley is
equipped for the same test.
And then. the riches of the hills.
They showed me the quarry from
which was taken the sandstone for
a Grand junction bank. 1t isn't a
quarry at all The men who opened

would have been useless and thrown
away Here they were good, hard
sandstone of beautiful pinkish col
or-but what would ii be like in
away from the surface? Farther up
the valley they are doing some real
sandstone quarrying: but even so, it
is merely development work com
pared to the toll invested in an east
ern quarry.
Farther up still is the marble.
have spoken of this before. but il
needs mention again. 1t is a story
that should be told and retold until
everyone in the state knows that up
hap in Ia
tains, dozen miles from anywhere,
is a marble deposit unrivalled in the
world and an industry with pay
roll of nearly 100000 per month.
1t will probably be twice that much
before spring.
And all up and down the valley is
the coal. You can see it in places,
sticking out in black smudge on
the face of a cliff At Cardiff you
pass the big coke ovens where some
of the coal is used and il smokes and
flames like-Pittsbure. In some
places where there are no railroad
facilities. they quarry out the coal,
and wait for the farmers to come and
haul it away. When the land is even
half developed think what a source
of power these coal seams will be!

top of the market. its marble is
building courthouses in Ohio: its
coke is smelling iron on this side of
the range. But it is still new. still
in the making. 1t is my sober judg
ment that the commercial possibili-
ties of the Grand valley in Colorado
are at least half of those of the val
ley of the Nile in Egypt. Egypt prop
er has less than 1000 square miles
of cultivable land some sandstone
and granite quarries, and nothing
else. save the labor of man. How
much land in the Grand valley is ca
pable of cultivation. | do not know:
but | do know that it is as rich as
any land lying out of doors. And in
addition to the fields. the Grand val
ley has mineral riches worth perhaps
more than the fields. and power pos
sibilities which add as much more.
Even so, the Grand is but one Of
many valleys in Colorado. And still
there he people who say that the cap
ital of such a commercial empire
doesn't need skyscrapers.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.

From what can be learned from
those directly in interest, it is not so
much a matter Of conceding the right
of-way for the lines Of the Astoria,
Seaside g. Tiilamook Electric Rail-
way as it is to have the road adopt
another route from the westerly end
Of the Young's River Bridge so as
to avoid the three cuttings Of the
dixie on the fats beyond; this and the
fve-year tie-up OF the lands in ques-
ton, constitute the main differences
as between the property owners and
the company. Fortunately these diver
gencies are not insuperable, and it is
quite likely they will be adjusted in
due course.
They must be; for there is nothing
before this people at present. of so
much promise and importance as this
project The building OF a quick
transit railway between this city and
the coast and the Tillamook country
is key to the solution of hundreds
Of collateral enterprises Of certain
and alluring profit. Every possible
means to allay friction and avoid de-
feat in this enterprise should be en-
ployed by our people in order to ex-
pedite the building of this railway
