PLAN MODEL ORCHARD
Parties at Lewiston TO Plant Orchard
on Approved Plans

According to the Lewiston Tri-
bune parties at Lewiston are going
to plant 1.-The most model orcbari
in the world - The Tribune has
the following to say regarding the
matter:
The news became public yester-
day that plans have about been
completed for the planting Of trees
on a 15O-acre tract in the Lewiston
Orchards with the view of making
it the model orchard of the world
The plans have been under consid-
Grafton for some tune as tC the de-
tails, involving the class of trees to
be planted and the contract under
which the orchard is to be cared
for. The orchard will contain
practically unlimited list OF fruits
as far as variety is concerned,
ranging from the delicate peach, al
moud and apricot, to hardy winter
apples. The most modern and
scientific methods OF cultivation
will be employed and the promoters
feel that the result sought for will
be achieved-the model orchard oil
the world.
1t is felt further by the promoters
that with the proven richness OF
the soil and the model facilities Tor
supplying water at critical time
when water is desired-the water
delivered under pressure in quanti-
ty as desired at any period OF the
yeai great results will be accom-
plished in growing fruits of all var
ieties in their highest type II is
believed that within few days the
plans will have progressed to such
+ an extent that definite PUBIC
announcement can be made.

And yea, verify, there is among
US the genius editor whose ways
are devious and who is up against
us all the while for he abideth be-
tween the devil and the deep sea,

it cometh time to pay up his sui

ence of canary bird and is sup
posed to draw therefrom tine cour-

truth, when, if he did emulate the

Country, he would probably depart
from his native heath on a fence

itors told the truth, as many insist
they should, the eternal fitness of
things would get solar-plexus of
much magnitude, and would take
the count several times over. Max

to hold his job, and the bigger and
more successfully he can lie the
stonger his hold on his Job and the
larger his weekly stipend. In your

Believes that so Long as the North

When men reach the north pole
what will they find there?
The question was put to Comman-
der Robert r. Peary, U. S. NJ, while
he was describing the details Of the
forthcoming expedition.
In reply Commander Peary gave
this picture of the landscape at the
north pole:
From all the scientists know and
from all the differences to be based
upon that knowledge, the first white
man TO stand at the north pole will
rot see a scene very different from
those traversed by most explorers in
the arctic. 1t is not likely that
there will be even a mound of ice
TO mark the actual pole"
'"It will be as imaginary and in
visible then, as the equator?"
Precisely. The man standing
at the pole, though" added
the explorer. will look upon a novel
and marvellous scene from the astro-
nomical standpoint. He will see the
sun like a wheel ot fire, circling the
horizon like wheel instead OF ris-
ing and setting. From day to day
it will gradually ascend higher and
higher, in hattened spiral.
The sun will appear above the
horizon on March 22. at the vernal
equinox. 1t will net set for six months

in widening circles. The stars on

Is this the sum total of the land

Commander Peary retorted.

In Austria lice sticks" are manu-

tanned the proper size, the employees
