FORTUNES ON TREES.
Orchards I'm the Northwest Which
Yield Profits of 81, 900 an Acre.
tTechnical WORLDLY

In the Rogue River Valley, in
Southern Oregon, F. H. Hopkins in
1907 made a profit of $4,000 off
sixteen acres Of winter Nelis pears
81, 1880 an acre. In the same
valley G. H. Hover bought ten acres
Of pear orchard at $500 an acre. Fif-
teen months later the crop brought
his $500.
Eight years ago ]. l.. Dumas set
out fifty acres of apples near Dayton,
In the Walla Walla district of South
eastern Washington. In the summer
of 1907 he bought fifty acres Of ap-
pie orchard adjoining the property
at an investment of $4,000. The
apples he picked from these fifty
acres that season sold for $4,000,
and the total crop from the hundred
acres realized $4,000 return to
the owner of $4,000.
A climate and soil that are capa-
BILE Of rearing such monsters as the
redwood trees and the sequoiaS,
which render measurements Of vege-
table growth In other regions Of this
country puny and scant, account in
part for these bewildering figures.
But there are obscure valleys, mar
row and diminutive, mere pockets,
between huge mountains, where in
the past no plant worthy or cultiva-
ton has found so much as a FOOT
hold. And 1t Is in many just such
spots as these that the returns are
the hugest Irrigation, in such cases,
Is the remaining factor that explains
the mystery.
The same magazine tells remark
able story of the success of two wo-
men who tried farming in England.
They began with five acres in Berk-
shire, but found they had too much
land, so they cut down their hold
ings to less than half that amount.
The teachers IF the women were a
French gardener and his family, who,
with an acre of land in France, sold
$2,5OO worth of produce in year.
'In a bare ploughed field stands a
square palisade of zinc plates inclos-
ing about three-quarters Of an acre."
writes a visitor to the farm. "The
ground Is all covered with inverted
bell glasses Of the kind known in
Europe as clochers. Under each bell
at the time this writer visited the
farm were five lettuces. Lettuces
were grown around the bells and
other vegetables sown broadcast were
coming up everywhere. Every inch
OF the soil bears at least three crops
year, each of them anticipating the
season and, therefore, producing
fancy prices"

To Fit the Occasion.

Senator Elkins was congratulated
at Washington dinner on his fine
new yacht, the Marietta. From
yachts to yachting clothes the transit
ton was easy, and Senator Elkins told
a story.
"An old fellow" he said, "sat in a
seaside cafe. He had finished lunch
con; he was now drinking champagne.
The sun shone on the white sand, the
sea sparkled. and every little while
the old fellow ordered another cold
half bottle. With the third order he
said uneasily to the waiter:
Waiter, is my nose getting red?"
"'Yes, sir the waiter answered, 'tis.
sir; l. sorry to say, sir
THAT won't do said the old fell
low. That won't do at all. Waiter,
send out and get me a yachting cap" "

JEFFORDS DISMISSED,

Charle:ton, Aug. 12.-At q meeting

held at noon today in the city hall,
w. G.. Jeffords, secretary Of the board.
was formally dismissed, upon the re-
quest of city council. sent to the board
by the acting clerk, and DR.. A. A.

Of the board
resolution Of confidence in Chair
man I.apham was passed by the board
Of commissioners and Mr.. Lapham
was urged to continue in charge and
management Of Hampton and Chicora
parks.
The committee on city affairs, Of
which Alderman L. NJ. Pinckney is
chairman, has not yet held a meeting
to consider the question Of procuring
the services Of an expert bookkeeper
to examine the accounts Of the park
board, but 1t seems probable that an
expert may be retained by the COM
mittee.
Active cooperation Of the board of
park commissioners with the investi-
cations OF the committee on city af-
fairs was assured yesterday in the re-
port Of the park board to the city
council, so that the only recommen-
dation that remains to be taken up by
the special committee is the question
OF hiring an expert to assist in further
probing.

Memorable Impressions.

The French sailors In town didn't
understand English, and the English
didn't understand French. But there
were times Of tense emotion when
both nationalities broke out into the
universal language, the natural Es-
perantO signs, and then they all un-
derstood.
On the terrace the other day stood
group OF French tars from the
Gambetta in company with one or
two English jacks from the Alber-
marie. All were looking glum.
Suddenly one Of the Britishers nft-
ed his hand to his mouth as though
raising a glass. threw back his head
and gurgled suggestively
Then he brought it down, shook
his head sadly to intimate that there
was none to be had, and said express
lively:
"Bloomin' town! Rotten dry!'
And the Frenchman nodded in
sympathy.--Montreal Star.

Mayor Rhett, of Charleston, is sim
ply a shining mark for the perspiring
malevoience Of certain Of his oppon-
ents In the senatorial race. And with
this frantic and perspiring malvo-
lence they make bold to entertain
generous and intelligent people by
the hour. Their frenzied attacks upon
the democracy Of Rhett: and upon his
good faith to his own race, roll off OF
that gentleman as rain drops roll of
OF cabbage leaves. And this Is pretty
much all we choose to say about the
senatorial. congressional and senator
ship meeting In our town on Thurs-
day OF last week. II was a lively and
highly entertaining meeting. There
were brains In 1t. and education, and
high mental cultivation. and oratory.
and eloquence. and wisdom, and wit,
and humor. and satire. and ginger,
and red pepper. and Tabasco- sauce,
and what we primitive Edgefield peo-
pie call "hell-fre and puccoon root"
And still II was but a wretched and
pitiful manifestation OF human self
seeking-Edgefeld Chronicle.

MILEAGE BOOK RULES.
Will Not be Changed by Railroad Com
mlssion--The Commission, After
Hearing Protests From Travelling
Men, Decides Nothing Can Be
Done.

Columbia, Aug. 12.-The railroad
commission has decided not to attempt
to interfere with the new mileage
books regulations. which will there
fore continue indefinitely. unless the
travelling men find some other means
OF blocking the roads. which is not
likely.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Caughman
who few months ago, when the
travelling men first had the commission
to review the situation. sided against
the roads. will sign the majority re-
port, although 1t is understood that
he favors the Central Passenger As.
sociation's method Of handling the sit
uation. which is to sell mileage at the
ol6 rates and give a rebate equivalent
to the difference when the book has
been used up.
Gessrs. Earle and Sullivan, consti-
'tuting majority of the commission,
1t 10 understood. are not inclined in
the first place to interfere with the
present arrangemet. which they con-
slider necessary to protect the reve-
nues Of the roads, and In the Sec
ond place they do not consider that
the commission has the power to
force change back to the old system.
As pointed out previously in the news
papers, 1t is felt that in case the COM
mission did order a change the roads
would be In position to either retaliate
tlais .foaoheshsicddeem
by withdrawing the new rates from
this State. which would be greatly
against the interest Of the travelling
public generally, or they might con-
test the order in the courts with the
almost certainty Of securing a favor
able outcome.
But all the. members of the COM
mission are agreed that the commits
sion has the power to demand adequate
facilities for handling the business
under the new regulations and the
roads will be ordered to provide these
facilities. The travelling men have
been complaining that they were
frequently delayed on this account.
