and adobe characteristics. very easy
to work. without stones. and do not

while In favored locations most ex-
cellent peaches may be raised; but
care must be taken by planting late
blooming, hardy varieties OF all these
fruits. because of late frosts.
The evidence Of what small fruits
will do Is found In the wealth OF wild
berries. All tho berries may be
grown to great advantage as soon as
u market becomes available.
The richness OF the soil and the
ease with which II Is worked make
the klamath section n vast potential
garden. Here. with irrigation, inten-
siye cultivation will be widely prac-
tlced. The careful cultivation that
makes land in sections of Southern
California, the San Joaquin, Sacra-
mento. Santa Clara. Pajaro. Arroyo
Grandc and other California valleys
worth hundreds OF dollars per acre
will produce the same result here.
The klamath Basin is already a
great native pasture-land, and when
are added alfalfa, clover, ETC., 1t will
be an unexcelled dairy country. At
present cattle and sheep occupy the
fields. There are many Herefords
and some Shorthorns, Devons and
Galloways. But with the coming OF
easy transportation will come the day
Of the more profitable milch COW

No Clock Needed.

The decision of the Ohio Metho-
dists to Danish clocks from their
churches, says the Washington Star,
recalls the story of the witty old
elder who sat gin a meeting where 1t
was proposed that a clock adorn the
wall of the. new church. Opposition
developed, and a rather spirited
controversy took place. 1t looked.
like an even break, and as both
sides entertained a high opinion Of
Brother Smiths views on all mat
tiers, he was asked to express him
self. ] am against the proposition.

SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL
Opinion Rendered To-day Decides Tha'
"Anen" in Second Section Means
Non-resident--so Licenses IN
Barre.

Attorney General J. c. Sargent ol
Vermont announced to-day, through
States Attorney Gates Of Washington
county, his Interpretation Of the hunter,
license law which was passed BY th,
last Legislature and over which here has
been a great deal Of discussion az t.
the meaning Of the word 4alicus in the
second section. He concludes and "a
rules, that the word allen means non
resident Of Vermont and that, therefore
any bona fde resident Of Vermont
though he Is not naturalized. can take
out q hunters license This, by the
way, Is the Interpretation which City
Clerk Maekay Of Barre put to Il and
who, when not entirely assured Of its
correctness, referred the matter to
States Attorney Gates.
Attorney General Sargent construes
that the word ealieu9 in the act No. s47
Is meant to be synonymous with the
word nonresident which IS used in the
preceding line He says that he Il com-
pelled to this opinion BY the fact that
all but two Of the states attorneys o.
Vermont hold the same opinion. Other
places in che act he finds that the law
makes distinction between residents and
non.residenfs.
