4 NATIONS APPLE TREES.
tTrom tho New York world.)

In an accounting Just published and
sa i'd to cover the last day Of last June
the number Of apple trees in the
United Statos and Territories with o.
O4O.39o trees while New York 10
second with 15,0j4,S32.
1t happens that these except in the
case of New York, are the figures CIV
on in the census report for 1900. In
the ten years beginning with 1890 the
Increase In the number Of apple trees
In the country was over 10000, 900.
Eight years of another decade have
now passed. That -hc count remains
unchanged since that tremendous gain
OF 1s90-99 must be regarded as some
what amazlng--if It is fact
However a mere reckoning Of trees
Is misleading as n means Of comparing
states shares in the apple raising In
dustry. New Iorks orchards produced
over 100000 bushels in 1899, Penn
sylvanla was n close second and Ohio
was third with more than 10000 900
bushels. Missouri's nearly $500. 900
bushels placed her ninth on the list.
The average yield in New York. ac-
cording to state Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION report of 1902. is about three
and one-half bushels per tree which
ought for 100000 trees to bring up
total of over 5000 900 bushels
There Is quality also to be consid-
cred. Missouri offers the tastcless Ben
DAVIS apple which fnds ready and
heavy sale even on the Atlantic sea-
board because Of Its colorlng Western
New York produces the Northern Spy
In It's highest quality, and the North
ern spy Is undoubtedly the best all
round apple even wet BY the rain
and warmed by the sun.
1t Is pleasant to reflect that on n
pcr-capita basis of division, when OK
IRENE socialism comes into It's own
each OF us in America may have TO
himself at least two trees from which
only the unciv!lized will steal the

STARTING NEW RAILROAD.
Surveying to Begin ON Central Orc

NOu
A question that has been asked the
Bulletin with considerable persist
ency during the past week is whether
the Central oregon Railroad COM
pany will at once put a crew Of sur
veyors at work to run survey for
the new railroad.
And the Bulletin is pleased that 1t
can answer that question in the at
firmative. Surveyors will be put on
the line as soon as arrangements can
be completed, which the promoters
say will probably be within ten days.
asserts last weeks Bend Bulletin.
Tents and wagons and other para
phernalla necessary to the men who
are to run railroad surveys are now
being assembled, and the crew will
be put to work as soon as the outfit
is complete and the engineer who Is
TO have charge of the work arrives.
As has been stated before, the sur
vey for the proposed extension of the
Columbia Southern, made five years
ago. was a god one, and the Oregon
Central crew will follow the line quite
closely.
U. A. Wynn, the company's right
of-way man, is still busily engaged Sc
curing contracts for right-ofway
along the survey of the Columbia
southern extension above referred to.
He is meeting with most gratifying
success, and says that wherever he
goes he finds the people enthusiastic
over the project and ready and will

railroad transportation for Central

When VIII 1t Hit the Earth?

The giant fixed star Arcturus,
which has been apparently travelling
straight for the earth at a speed of
300, 900 miles second for ages seems
to get no closer.
The star is almost directly in line
with the sun and infinitely farther
away, so much farther that the suns
distance Of 92 million miles seems but
step. When Arcturus comes in col
llsion with the solar system the lat
ter, including the earth, will disap-
pear in the twinkling Of an eye, to
become mere particles of cosmic dust.
Arcturus is many times the size
of the sun, and his eight planets
combined and his habits are we'll
known to astronomers. BY the term
::'flxed" is meant that the star has
no orbit, but travels on tangent,
which line 1t will follow until some
body larger than itself halts 1t.
