w. Merritt has received returns
from a car of Newtown apples con-
signed to 6. W. Denais & Sons, London,
England, which netted him 81. 10 per
box on board the cars at this point.
This is the best returns from English
sales yet reported here for the season
An inter esting facs connected with the
shipment is that the consignment in
cluded all grades of apples from S19
to 5 tier, the smaller size. running
a. many a. 1913 to the box. brought
the highest prices. This apparently
makes good Mr.. Merritts claim that
II does not pay the grower to thin
his crop too closely, as from his past
experience he has learned that the
smaller sizes In the London market
bring often better price than the
extra fancy sizes. This shipment OF
one extra large car, comprising Slt
boxes, was the product of SO trees and
netted the grower $l7ll.5O. or some.
thing better than $S1 per tree. In sp'

The poultry raisers OF Josephine
county found that when the recent
Show was held that they had several
things to learn. For instance, they
discovered that having the birds in
mixed pens was not allowable and
several fine awards were lost on this
account. M. E. Moore had q pen Of
his fine Rhode Island Reds and at first
the Judge gave him first, second and
third, but upon finding that the rules
governing exhibits had not been COM
piled with. he took away the first and
third, leaving only the second prize.
Other facts also came to light and the
poultrymen will profit greatly by the
experience. They are glad to have
had the show held and are already
looking ahead to the next affair Of
this kind.

The latest from the scene of DC

The latest frcm the scene of PC
litical activity in Denver is the
report that Senator Patterson has
sold the Denver Times to Guggen-
helm. He is defending the smelter
magnate in the attacks being made
against him by the Denver Post
which are justifable and we'll de-
served. This is only another sample
of Patterson's inconsistency. Two
years ago he couldn't be too severe
in his arraignment Of Guggenheim
and denounced him as the worst
scoundrel that ever entered the
state. 1t seems that some kind of
combination has been formed
between Patterson and Guggen-
helm and both will do battle to-
gether during the remainder OF
the campaign. 1t was predicted
before the Pueblo convention
that if Patterson and his crowd
were not recognized Patterson
would join forces with Guggen-
helm.

1t may be that Mr.. Baleria will
remain on the Republican ticket
and make the race for clerk and
recorder. The gentleman was back
ward for a time in accepting the
nomination, thinking that it would
interfere with his bottling bust
ness, but we understand all this
has been arranged for. Should he
be elected, it is said that Captain
Sullivan is to have sole charge of
the clerks office. Sounds most
reasonable, doesn't it? Mr.. Bal
eria surely couldn't sacrifice his
business to take a political Office
far less profitable.

The Herald, New York's gr

The Herald, New York's great
conservative journal, says, 'No
one now fears that Bryan's cleo
ton would provoke an industrial
panic. That fear has been worked
upon the American people by the
Republican party now for several
decades. 1t is its main stock in
trade. But a great lesson has been
learned by the American voter.
He knows that he is now suffering
from one of the worst monetary
and industrial panics that he ever
experienced in his life and that
the Republican party is just as
liable to have panics as the Demo
cratic party"

APEX ITEMS.

Nearly half foot of snow fell in
this vicinity Saturday evening, while in
Central City it rained.
George Pyle has been getting in his
winters supply of wood, hauling from
Mammoth. Ed. Walters assisted him.
Hunters were out after game Sunday
afternoon, but there were no "does" or
young bucks" to take shot at.
1t is reported that the Derby mine
will soon be in operation. Mr.. Storrs,a
representative of the company, visited
the property last week and made some
preparatory arrangements for starting.
Doc Harman has been having an at
tack of tonsolitis.
The annualweekly stunt of "bucking"
wood was in progress Sunday at the
Apex hotel. Frank Stuck was there
and perhaps that accounts for the large
amount of wood which was worked up.
Road Overseer VIM. Kelly was Wis
itor to Central City and Black Hawk
over Sunday to mingle with friends. He
reports that excellent work is being
done on the roads by his force of men,
and that considerable work is yet to be
done.

Assessment work is being done on the

Apex claims the honor of having more
sore heads than any other mining camp
in the county. There are few old
fossils out here who make everyone
else's business theirs, and seem to take
delight in stirring up strife among its
small inhabitants, therefore, everyone
are at loggerheads. The Terrible

and lays awake nights hating himself.
Great country, this.
In this little burg there is one stanch
Republican-and he is big one, too.
He is no political student, generally
speaking, but he has been offered good
positions through the Democrats and
declined. That is true patriotism.

weaknesses and falling, or other displace-

bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic

During the so-called Demo-

banks failed. In the 1907-S panic
in Roosevelt's administration forty
three banks throughout the country
suspended payment and the whole
financial system would have COL
lapsed had it not been for
cashiers checks and clearing house
certificates. These facts put a

Becoming desperate in their ef-
forts to stem the tide of popular
sentiment that is rushing to Brayn,
the Republicans are making cap
ital of anything that will disparage
the Commoner and make votes for
Taft. Some of the campaign argu-
ments they are advancing why the
people should continue the Repub-
lican party in power are silly and
nonsensical, and downright falsi-
flying and misrepresentation seems
to be their main stock in trade.
They say there is not a paper of
real size or standing in the country
that is supporting the Democratic
candidate, which assertion is lie
pure and simple. There are hun
dreds of the large metropolitan
dailes that are advocating the cleo
ton of Bryan and are making a
forceful fight for him.
