Orchard Yields Big Profits.

Waitsburg, Wash.-TO take from
20 acres Of land 1890 worth OF
fruit. as against $500 worth OF
wheat. as a good yield at high
price, is the experience OF Taggard
& Dickinson, who own young or
chard mile from here. The fruit
was sold on the tree, picked and
packed by the buyer. and the expense
Of picking and delivering to the
packing house in the orchard alone
was borne by the owners. This
leaves a profit of over $500 an acre
on the orchard. Ten years ago the
land was considered of little value
save for grain. The apples were
shipped to Chicago and New York
and brought fancy prices.

PINNED UNDER MACHINE.
DR.. G.. x. Roberts Seriously Hurt In
Auto Accident Sunday.

DR. George X. Roberts was seriously
hurt in an automobile accident in Chester.
iieid, n. H., Sunday evening. He was re.
turning from trip to Chesterfield Center
and had gotten as far as the watering
trough on the bill this side of the G. o.
Cobegh place when the steam in the ma
chine proved to be too low to carry him
over the hill. The doctor brought The
automobile to a stop and George Earring
ton, who was in the machine, jumped out
and waited for the steam to come up. Be
lieving the pressure of the steam to be suf-
ficient to continue the trip the doctor
opened the throttle. BY mistake, it is be-
lieved, the doctor reversed the gear, for the
machine Immediately backed down the hill,
distance of five rods. The doctor lost
control of the automobile and it turned
to the right and tipped over. DR.. Roberts
was thrown out, striking on his hands and
knees, and when the machine tipped over
the seat struck him in the small of the
back, partially pinning him to the ground.
He was taken to Brattleboro in George
Amidons machine and has been confined
to his bed since. The extent of his in
iuries has not yet been determined, but it
Is believed that no bones were broken and
that no internal trouble will result.

Bellows Falls Man a Suicide.

W. II. Stone, one OF the leading business
men Of Bellows Falls. committed suicide
Wednesday morning in Hotel Windham
with chloroform. No reason can be as.
cribed for the act as Mr. Stones business
was in good shape. He recently purchased
the large carriage business OF Walter G..
lIadlcy and came up from his home in

however. he hired room at Hotel Wind.

maids opened the door and found him

some time and had taken his life by pour
ing the contents of two bottles OF chlOr.
oform ON sponge and laying face down
in the liquid BY his side were found four
letters, one addressed to Henry w. Por.
ter, a real estate dealer of this place. and
three to friends in Walpole-A. 5. Nor
rill, with whom he lived. Mr. Wilson,
with whom he had had business dealings
and Mrs. a. b. Smith. In Mr.. Porter's
letter he was appointed executor and given
explicit directions as to the business and
estate. The letter was begun July 2 and
concluded July 10. At the very close 1t
was written that when the letter was re-
ceived the writer would be lying dead
at Hotel Windham. No reason can be
given although Mr.. Stone was OF some
what morbid disposition. The fact that
the deed was contemplated nearly two
weeks before it occurred is taken as very
mysterious. A cousin of the dead man,
Mayor II. o. Carpenter of Rutland, took
charge OF the body. Mayor Carpenter
can give no reason for the deed, and is
greatly mystified Mr.. Stone was unmar
ried and left no near relatives.

The Attack Recoiled.

| burlington News
The Rutland Herald's attack upon At
torney-General Fits has recoied. The
Bennington and Brattleboro papers came
quickly to Mr.. Fits defence: d and % they
seem to show that the newly created official
not only has performed distinct and val
1 liable services to the state, but has done
better work than was formerly done-and
at less cost to the state. 1t has seemed to
us that an Encouragement is a legal official
that we have needed for many years The
state certainly ought to have in its service
competent attorney and an adviser to
the executive department; and as an ad-
wiser and prosecutor in criminal cases of
such Importance as might appear to de-
mand the service of highly trained legal
talent.
The attorney general of a state is an
official who is or should be at the call of
every department of the government at any
moment in an advisory capacity. The
county officials of this class cannot be
called upon for authoritative opinion on
any subject, for the reason that their
jurisdiction is not state wide and they
might not agree with each other. Furth-
ermore, the county attorneys are usually
young men with limited experience, who
could not undertake large cases with the
same confidence and power as an older and
more experienced man. The practice of
the counties is to elect the young men to
that office and that practice is likely to be
continued. 1t helps the young men to an
income and experience and probably does
the state no harm-at least, not with an
experienced head attached to the depart
ment.
1t seems to us, however, that change
might proftably be made in the county
system. The state should be divided into
with approximately two coun-
ties in a district, dividing them as near as
may be into population equality. This
would cut down the number of officials
to half or less, and permit a reasonable
increase in compensation, with reduc-
tion in expense to the state. The sittings
Of county courts could be arranged so that
the counties which made district would
not require the services of the district at
torney at the same time. This change,
with the services of an attorney y-general of
such capacity as the state can always COM
nand, would bring the legal department
Up to modern conditions.
