PEOPLE GIVEN
A BAD SCARE
Eureka, CAL, Shaken by an
Earthquake.
NO LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS

Scores Of chimneys Are Knocked
Down, Many Plate Glass Windows
Broken and the Walls of the Court
house Cracked In Several Places.
Residents scurry From Their Beds
to the Streets in Alarm.
Eureka, Cal, Aug. 19.-Three sharp
earthquake shocks, which knocked
down more than hundred chimneys,
shattered about forty plate glass win
dows in the business portion Of Eu-
reka, broke much crockery. in the
houses and sent many people scurry
ing from their beds into the streets,
occurred here between 2:30 and $3.50
a. m. The damage reported so far is
estimated at between $4,000 and So,
900. The first shock was almost as
severe as the one felt here on April
IS, 1906.
The first shock caused practically
all the damage. Besides shaking
down many chimneys and breaking
crookery the trembler caused the six
teen-foot statue of Minerva on the
county courthouse to drop her heavy
staff, which crashed through the roo
into Superior Judge Hunts court
room. The walls of the courthouse
were cracked in several places, bu
the damage is not great. The wall:
of the Carnegie library building, erect
ed five years ago at a cost of $4,000
were slightly cracked.
Reports from the SeaZy ranch neal
Fresh Water, six miles north of Eu
reka, state that the earthquake caused
big assure in the earth for half 6
mile. A number of chimneys were
thrown down in that vicinity, but 9th
erwise little damage was done.
The shocks extended as far north a!
Blue Lake, twenty-five miles from Eu
reka, where some crockery was broker
and half dozen chimneys knocked
down.
The shocks seem to have been con
fined to a small area and the vibra
tions were southwest to northwest.

Peach Growing in Colorado.

Have Colorado peach orchards
actually been sold for $4,000 an
acre? Yes; and to man who
was thoroughly acquainted with
the business and with the locality.
This is an unusual price, however,;
but sales ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000 are common in the vicinity
of Palisade, and a good bearing
peach orchard in a good location
is always worth $1,000 an acre.
These are not boom prices, but
are based upon the productive
capacity of the orchards.
Raw land that is known to be
located in good peach growing
sections comes high. In other
sections where the crop is a little
less sure, on account of the like
lihood of occasional frosts, lands
are cheaper. And in some cases
good peach lands are cheaper,
because of remoteness from rail
roads, lack of development Of the
locality, and similar reasons. In
The newspaper., 1908-12-18
the former case. prices will usually
range from $3.50 to $500 an acre.

the former case, prices will usually
range from $3.50 to $500 an acre.
In the latter, from 500 to 5000 an
acre. Many people receive a
SPLENDID income from hve-acre
orchard, and ten acres may yield
a moderate competency.
The cost of growing an or
chard up to the full bearing age
will vary from 500 to $3.50 an
acre. 1t will be seen from these
figures that a man with small
means may undertake to grow a
peach orchard, and where he can
do most of the work, the actual
cash outlay is much reduced. He
should, of course, provide build
ings, fences, horses, and suitable
tools. Vegetables and small fruits
may be grown between the rows
of trees the first three years, and
in an established fruit district
there is always great amount OF
work to be had at good wages.
Peach trees, begin to bear when
three years old. and they produce
large crops at the age of six
years. One instance is at hand
where four and one half acres of
Elberta peaches brought a gross
return of $3.50 an acre the third
season after planting. When in
full bearing, gross returns of from
$1,000 to $500 an acre have
not been uncommon. An average
net income from the orchards of
the best fruit districts will run
from $500 to $500 an acre.
When land will produce such
returns. practically every year, it
is difficult to decide what it is
worth; and it is not surprising
that good orchards sell for high
prices.
The danger of overproduction,
at least permanent overproduc-
ton, is remote, and for many
reasons, one important reason be-
ing that the total area of good
peach land in Colorado is limited.

Little Boy on Editors.

A little boy was given the
stunt by his father to write an
essay on editors, and here is the
result:
IL don't know how newspapers
came to be in the world. l don't
think God does for he haint got
nothing to say about them and
editors in the Bible. / think the
editor is one of the missing links
you read of, and stayed IN the
bushes until the flood; and then
came out and wrote the thing up,
and has been here ever since. ]
don't think he ever dies. ! never
heard of one getting licked. Our
paper is a mighty good one; but
the editor goes without under
clothes all winter and don't wear
any socks and paw amt paid his
subscription since the paper
started. / asst paw if that was
why the editor had to suck the
juse out of snowballs in winter
and go to bed when he had a
shirt wasn't in summer. And then
paw took me out to the wood
shed and he licked me awful hard.
If the editor makes a mistake
folks say he ought to be hung;
but if doctor makes any mis-
takes he buries them and people
dassant say nothing because doc
tors can read and write Latin.
When the editor makes mistake
there is lawsuits and swearing and
big fuss; but if a doctor makes
one there is a funeral. cut flowers
and perfect silence. A doctor can
use word a yard long without
him or anybody knowing what it
means; but if the editor uses one
he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife he
charges for his visit; but if the
editor goes he gets a charge of
buckshot. When the doctor gets
drunk its case OF being over
come by the heat and if he dies
it's heart trouble; when an editor
gets drunk it's case of too much
booze and it he dies its jim-jams

tor. an editor has to he horn -

ming this paper3 Heaven forbid!
But suppose Mr.. Shaw is right?
How are the people to be es-
topped from acquiring informa-
tion? Has it ever occurred to
the gentleman who gave out the
talk that if he is telling the truth
then a galaxy of the master minds
of the age are coming to consider
socialism as a possible remedy
for existing ills? If these men
are reading, talking, preaching
and writing socialism, there is not
material ground for fear. They
would not be together in such
hordes as he alleges unless there
were some virtue in the idea. AS
we analyze the matter we come to
the conclusion that if Mr.. Shaw
is right and the conditions as he
describes them are true, then per
chance we have been mistaken
and socialism offers a real rem
edy. On the other hand we in
cline to the idea that Mr.. Shaw is
afflicted with piles or something
like it and physical discomf fort
leads him to be pessimistic.
If there is one thing to show
that the Presidents power is
waning it is the fact that the
humorous writers are beginning to
poke fun at him. AS his term
grows shorter it seems to be the
rule to take the Presidential ut
terances less seriously. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether in the
editorial chair of the Outlook he
can recover the ground he has
lost in the past year.
The Grand Junction News re-
ports Mrs. Richard Budelier.
President of the Women's Chris
tian Union, as stating in a public
address in that city, that Free
Love Societies flourished in
Grand Junction at present and
that their membership was gen.
eral in all classes of society. This
is a fearful indictment and we
are at a loss to see how she came
to make the charges and more at
a loss to understand how any pa
per that desires to be of benefit
TO community, would repeat
what we firmly believe is vile
SANDER of that city and her in
habitants. 1t is likely that the
prominence of the woman max
ing the charges has something to
do with their course. We never
heard of the woman in our life
before, but it the News correctly
reports her, (the whole story is
too nauseating to print in detail }
then the slandered citizens of
that commonwealth should have
given her a coat of tar and fcath-
ers and started her out of town
on the first train.
