A Bright Future for
Lincoln County

The people of this county have
at last woke up to the fact that we
have one of the best counties in the
state. All it took to convince them
was to look over the grand display
of the fair held here on the 7, s
and 9th of this month. Although
there were but few localities that
tried to make a display, it was a
decided success.
When we look at our apples and
other fruits that was shown in our
exhibits and then consider the care
we have given to the raising of fruit
it is enough to convince us that we
have one of the greatest fruit coun-
ties in the West.
All there is for us to do is to make
use of our land, clear up the hills,
set them out to apples and our
fortune is then made" We need
not be afraid of OVERRIDING it. If
every foot of land in Lincoln county
was set in fruit it would be all the
better for us. The we could ship
by the train load or shipload and
the buyers would come to us instead
of us finding them. | expect to
see the time, and it will not be many
years, when we will send out fruit
by the shipload.
There will be a good many thous-
and trees set out this Fall and next
Spring and in five years from now
there will be ten times as many
orchards in this county as now.
Besides the fruit industry there
is nowhere in the whole west that
can produce any better or larger
vegetables than was exhibited at
our fair.
Besides this we have timber
enough to make our county famous.
The timber land is mostly all taken
up and in a few years will be decided
and then the sawmills will come
and saw the timber and will
bring thousands of dollars into our
county.
Another thing we have is coal.
When man can go and in a. short
time dig out as nice coal as J. Steel
had on exhibition at the fair is
something that we could not esti-
mate the value of. | might say
this: that the richest gold mine
might compare but could not excel
coal mine on the coast and also
on as good harbor as we have right
here in Lincoln county.
! With all of the good things in
sight, waiting for us to all get to-
gether and work in harmony so
people may know where Lincoln
county is, then we will see our
Bright Future begin to materialize.
Very respectfully,
G. w. HARDING.

SECRET OF SUCCESS AS TOLD

Almost every young pitcher that breaks
into the big league possesses everything
IN the way Of speed, curves, change OF

"One day when I was pitching against
a certain club had my curve ball break

batsmen on the club. When he went 70
the bench he told his manager that he
famed on curve ball that didn't break.

remark. Every slab artist must know his

ing Goes over Until Tomorrow.

New York. June 20.-A new develop
ment in the fight OF the race track in
terests to find out just where they stand
and what can be done in the conduct Of
the business under the anti-betting bills.
came to-day. when a man arrested on
Friday at ST. epshead Bay was brought
into the Supreme Court on a writ of
habeas corpus.
The man was Melville Collins, who was
charged with having taken an oral bet
from one John Rawis and having paid
over the bet as soon as It was won.
Collins was represented by Capt Barry,
OF the firm OF Davies, Stone & Auer-
bach, counsel for the Jockey Club. Col.
Inns was arraigned this morning I'm the
Coney Island Police Court before MagIs-
trate Geismer. who adjourned the case
at once to June % and fixed bail at
$500.
Acting District Attorney Elder Of
Kings County said later In the day that
the Collins case would be prosecuted to
the limit. as 1t was deemed important
in a special degree.
Gets Habeas Corpus writ.
No bail was offered for Collins. and
he vas taken promptly 70 the Raymond

such practice was not in violation OF the
/ Jaw. the way would be opened for plenty

There was n rumor current in Brooklyn
I to-day that the June grand Jury Of Kings
