BIG MONEY IN FRUIT.

The Yakima Republic tells an
interesting story of how a promi-
nent fruit grower of that rich
irrigated section spent his winter
vacation. w. L, Wright is the
man who gave the interview to
the newspaper He is we'll
known through the state as a
successful orchardist and man of
honor. When asked for a fruit
story he merely answered:
Mrs Wright and myself enjoyed
a six weeks vacation in Califor-
mia this winter on the proceeds
of the crop taken from ten of
our winter apple trees last fall. !"
then the story ended. But it
does not end there, and only
begins there, for people who find
the times hard, nothing doing. no
chances Tor them. Ten trees
make the difference between the
man who has no hope and no
joy and the man who can take
his family on a vacation trip and
for whom the skies are blue,
the songs of the birds are music
and the every day has it's beauty
and its duty. Ten trees are not
much, and yet they may be
everything. NThe man who has
ten trees Of red and fragrant
apples, the kind that the Lewis
ton, climate coaxes color and
tone to, can smile at the socialists
and the politicians and the pluto
Gratis alike, and have pie for
breakfast, and Sunday every day.

A plan is being perfected at
Pullman for the formation of a
Jersey breeders association in
the Palouse country, to encourage
and foster the breeding of Jersey
cattle for dairy purposes. The
increased interest in dairying due
to the improvement in conditions
and the advance in prices for
dairy products, is having the
effect of creating a desire for
better dairy herds, and the de-
mand for good dairy COWS is far
in excess Of the supply, while
prices are higher than for many
years. -Genesee News.
Every poultry man should give
the henhouse a periodical
coat of limewash, and the oftener
he does it the better. The
matter is a very simple one. If
the house is small, all you may
want is a limestone brush, and a
bucket of water into which a few
handsful of quicklime have been
put, we'll stirred together, and
allowed to settle. The stuff
when put on should be about as
thick as cream. A handful of
common rough salt will help it
to adhere to the walls, a spoonful
or two of liquid carbolic will help
it to do its murderous work on
animal live, and a little bit of
powder-blue (washing blue) will
prevent the white coat turning
yellow by-and-by. If the hen
house is a large one it will pay to
use sprayer for putting on a
limewash. This is a most effect
i've way of whitewashing any
building.

A fine Methodist church is being
conducted, with a splendid pastor,
and a most beautiful modern
Catholic church, with one of the
most respected and best loved
priests, Rev. Father Berthold,
who has nearly completed a
beautiful Benedictine monastry
near Cottonwood. He has the
confidence of all classes, and a
great many of the protestants at4
tend his services when he
breaches in English.
"A new church has recently
been organized, drawing largely
from the Baptist Sunday school
and some from the Methodist,
by a lawyer-preacher, who ad-
vocated the union Of all Chris
tians, then proceeded to divide
them up some more"
The above is taken from a
recent issue of the Spokane
Review and is an interview given
out by DR.. Lyon, the evangelist,
who held a series of revival
meetings att the Baptist church
here some time since.

the LUCK OF
SOME MORTALS
An Interesting Story of How
Some Spokane Men Cleaned Up
5000, 600 in Rawhide, Nevada,
Mines.

Quite an interesting story
about the accumulation of wealth
by relatives of some of our fellow
citizens appears in the Spokes-
nan-Review of March 30th.
The story tells of the sale of
certain mining property and
townsite interests at Rawhide,
Nkv., for $60O,O 900 by four men,
two of whom were Ralph Van
Dorm, a cousin of 0. E. VanDorn,
our local druggist, and Charlie
James, a brother of Harry and
Carl James of this place.
The story is substantially as
follows:
Several years ago while attend
ing school in Spokane, James,
VanDorn and Carson Ellis
agreed that if ever one made a
good start in the world he would
call the others to share it with
him. Later James and Ellis went
to the Philippines and spent two
years in the army, afterward
returning to Spokane and engag-
ing in the dental business where
they each built up a good prac-
tice. Late in 1906 they got word
from VanDorn at Goldfield, New,
and at once sold out and went
south. Here they worked in the
mines for a time and got down
pretty low in resources. They
finally outftted with a mule team
and prospecting equipment and
struck into the DESERT being
assured by a man named Arge-
singer that he would back them
upon anything they struck. He
was worth about $40, 900 at that
time.
+ After spending some time in
the desert and facing death
several times the trio finally
landed in Rawhide where they
bonded eight mining claims ad-
ioininp the town for S4500,
agreeing to pay for them in 4C
days. They wrote to Argesinge1
for money put got word back
that he had gone broke and could
not raise $1O0. They then
plated part of the ground and,
owing to the rush into Rawhide,
sold enough lots to pay then
debt in time and have property
left. A few weeks since they
sold a controlling interest in the
property for $500, The foul
men still own six claims there
and the townsite rights on the
claims first located and also
receive royalty of 223 per cent
of all the gold mined from the
original claims.
Out of this boyhood pact the
men are in a fair way of becom.
ing millionaires and their story is
certainly an interesting one.

ed took sick with the fever. The

Charlie Staal returned last night
from his visit to his old home at

VOICE
HAD FIRST PLACE

The late Senator Proctor Of Vermont
was probably the richest man in the
Senate; he was probably TIE biggest
physically. for he was OF immense
stature. and beyond question he had
the biggest voice in Congress.
Senator PrOctOr's whisper was big
enough TO NIL a forty-acre field. His
ordinary conversational tone sounded
like a railroad train gong over the
switches of a country siding when it
was late and in a hurry. His oratoricaI
tones when he occasionally turned them
loose drowned the thunder. and when
he got really excited he sounded like
the voice of thunder.
There was once. at least, when his
oratory was really the thunder OF Jove
from Olympus. That was when he
made the great speech which did SC
much TO preclpitate the war with Spain.
He had been in Cuba investigating on
his own account.
It has been the privilege of few mer
to make speeches that caused more
momentous things than that speech
which told OF what he saw In Cuba.
And they do say that the bigness OF
the voice that seemed fairly TO make
the Capitol tremble to it's foundations
had much to do with the effect

REPRESENTATIVE EDWARDS,
OF Georgia, Who Caused the House to
Go Early to Work.
Fostered Q O'clock Bill, But
Now Prefers Office 10
House.

Charles G. Edwards, Representative
in Congress from Georgia, who some
weeks ago sprang into fame by introduc-
ing a bill he had no idea would be en-
acted into a law, has slipped down from
his proud elevation,
His bill was that Congress should be
gin its session every day at 9 o'clock in
the morning. There were other pic
turesque provisions in the measure
about holding committee meetings when
the first cock should crow at dawn, and
adjourning at early candle light.
Comment on the measure, although
somewhat satirical, was widespread.
People patted Edwards on the back and
assured him he had done as much as
Hokc Smith and John Temple Graves 10
make Georgia the leading State in the
Union. Edwards smiled and looked al
if he believed It.
But recently, being taken up with lis
tening to the plaudits Of the multitude,
he forgot to look out for his foothold
on fame's tower. All he could do was
10 bl:ak mis- eyes and repeat his bill
over and over 10 assure himself he had
written IT. Several times he thought he
heard Hoke and John Temple jeering at
him
This all happened because his col
leagues have been commenting on the
fact that although ne introduced the 9
"a. IN. bill and uttered a prolonged howl
against the tendencies Of Congressman
10 be lax I'm their legislative duties, he
now spends much Of his time in his Of
fee while his fellow members labor with
legislative problems.
This charge of inconsistency may or
may not be true, but it has put a hole
In the balloon which lifted Edwards 10
high station. His fellow members Ia
ment the fact that the luxury and COM
fort of his brand-new Office WOO him
from The legislative chamber when there
Is work TO do. They had concluded from
his o'clock Dill that Edwards would be
found continually on the floor of the
House sparring for work.
They had thought that in Edwards
they had found a man who would do
all the work they did not care TO
bother with. Signing in content, they
I'd imagined Edwards a legislative
samson.
Now, however, they mourn. They ex-
plain the fall of Edwards by suggesting
that, perhaps, the people don't have Of
fees in Georgia as fine as those in the
new House building.
