Woodchopping as a Sport.

In Tasmania is to be found national pastimc that is special and particular to that state alone-the sport of wood chopping It says much for the grit and vigOr of Tasmanians that this really serious and arduous work should be regarded as the finest sport. At Hobart and Launceston they have their turf meetings, their cricket, foot ball. golf, cycling, and so forth, but to woodchopping contest people will flock from far and near-men, women and children-and watch the aX wield CTS hewing away at huge blocks of tiMher as if life and reputation de pended upon the issue. Thud, thud. thud. go the axes, and the splinters fly in all directions, the judges calmly sit ting near, taking notes of the strokes, the spectators cheering the cOmpet- itors from time to time as frantically as if they were race horses. To be a woodchOpping champion means some thing to a man in Tasmania.-Dundee Advertiser.

 "While there is d good deal of the American spirit prevailing in Sydney and Melbourne, they do things there i'll a peculiar way" said q travelling man Ut is hard to get used to them.
 "They have excellent restaurants there, but they run on peculiar plan. A man goes in and sits down at table, md a waiter, generally a woman, hands him the bill of fare. He makes out his order on a slip, and before he is waited on the waiter goes to the cashier and has a little private talk with him. The cashier looks over at the customer, and if he. appears to be good for the bill he is served; other wise he is asked to pay in advance The meals are good and cheap. The same careful scrutiny is made when a fellow registers at q hotel. Good looks will go further than any amount of baggage. ."-Omaha Bee.

NUIDED by the success achieved in
Or the past by old apple growers in
" the Beaumont valley, the Beau
mont Land and Water company is
planting fifty acres Of foothill land in
apple trees, as shown by the view
above. The Slower Orchard company
has the contract which calls for nearly
5000 1-year-old trees, comprising among
other varieties Starlxs Delicious, the
fruit which sells as high as three for
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-02-28

a quarter in Chicago and eastern cities.
The other varieties being set are the
King David and Early Champion. More
rapid productivity will be given to the
land by planting between the apples,
pears and peaches that bear in about
two years, as against four years re-
quired for the apple to mature The
land and trees in this 50-acre orchard
will represent an investment of nearly
$4,000 and gives evidence of the fact
that the Beaumont Land and Water
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-02-28

company is backing its judgment with
money in the matter of apple culture.
This orchard is surrounded by over
800 acres of apple lands which are being
planted by scores of new homeseekers,
the average size of whose holdings is
about seven and one-half acres. In this
way over $4,000 trees are being set out,
and it is predicted that the apple out
put Of Beaumont will in five years
amount to more than all the rest OF
this part of the state

THE FRIVOLOUS FIFTH
The Celebration in Lexington This Year
Was Almost Sane.

Since the Fourth of July came on
Sunday this year and since the ma
iority Of Lexington people cling to
the Puritauical Sabbath, by far the
most of the celebrating was done on
Monday, the fifth. There was
nothing in the way on a concerted
celebration among the white people,
but the darker portion of the popu-
lation held a picnic in Taubman's
pasture. They yer very orderly
and nothing at all out of the way
came of their gathering.
During the day the noise was in
cessant in the downtown districts.
Cannon crackers, torpedoes, pistols
and other devices to make horses
shy aud fingers smart, popped and
doomed. There was practically no
rowdyism DRINKS, which usually con-
stitute the most grevous ~nuisances
of our National Holiday, we're either
nou-existent or kept well under
cover. The one d~isagreeable feature
was the oppressive heat. The mer.
curry acted like yeast and the hunt
dlty was reminiscent of a Turkish
bath. The great diversion of the
day was the ball game, which wa;
well patronized. After it Sensation
al Smithson endeayored TO bark W
a crowd which would produce enough
of the kale to warrant his tempting
death by his marvellous leap of the
~ feet gap. IF YOU don't believe it
measure it, But the populace wa;
apathetic.
The moving picture shows all
played to good houses, especial,
the Air Dome where the talking
pictures we're put N. These werI
well received.
The worst injury that has come t.
light is that Of George Atwood, a DO.
about 10 years Of age. He and an
other small boy named John SIMPLE.
we're having a duel with blank cart
ridge pistols. John shot bis com anioi
