Although the securing of the high
school for Lovelock. has not been by
wrestling the coveted prize from
Winnemucca, as was the first inten-
tion, but was the result of q com
promise by which, there are to be
two county high schools in the
county, one at Winnemucca and one
at Lovelock, yet the final result is
none other thon a victory for the
southern end of the county. wide
reaching and significant.
Lovelock will have county high
.hool, an institution satisfactorily,
fulfilling the needs of the southern
end of the county in that direction.
Those who have children, ready for
the high school will not need to send
them away for instruction in high
school branches. The institution,
will grow and prosper and one day
become one of the leading element
ary educational Institutions of the
state.
The establishment of the county
school here marks stage in the
growing Importance of the south
and its ability to demand and sustain

The annual report Of the Mazuma

year ending December 81, 1908, is just
out and appears in neatly printed
uooklet form. In submitting the report
PRESIDENT and General Manager John

company to open up the ground and
add to the equipment as the produc-
ZION Of the mine would permit, avoid

milD course your management will
at all times adhere to.
Under the able supervision of Henry
McGran the mine workings have been
kept in good condition and most of the
slopes back-filled to save timbers and
avoid caving.
''The wisdom of the leasing system
is shown by the large amount of devel-
opment work which has been done, as
shown by the tabulated statement, as
well as by the royalties received on
ore and the payment to us for milling
purpose; accordingly as lessees con
tinue the present energetic line of
work, we may with assurance look for
a largely augmented income from this
source during the present year. The
necessity for the erection of our own
treatment plant has been amply demon
strated, under the efficient management

FRUIT INDUSTRY
GROWING RAPIDLY
WaIIa WaIIa's Orchards Will Produce
More This Year Than Ever Before
Increased Acreage.

Yakima is to take a back seat for
Walla Walla, when il comes to the
fruit producing industry, and all indi-
cations point to one of the largest
growths in the business this year ever
recorded in this section of the state.
The increase in fruit production will
be due mainly to the increased acreage

are being planted to the Jonathan va
riety of apples.
While some of the older orchards
are being re-planted to the new vari-

between here and Milton, where own
ers of land are generally putting in
Jonathan apple trees.
Prospects thus far are for one OF
the best and biggest crops ever har-
vested in the Walla Walla valley, the
freeze. if affecting the trees at all,
having had the effect of reducing the
crop Just enough to be more bene-
fetal than harmful. Fruit growers
are hopeful of an excellent quotation,
also. as. in some sections of the west
ern fruit belt considerable damage re-
suited from the recent freeze. Espe-
cially is this true in the Yakima val
lev. where the bulk of the peach crop
is reported to have been ruined, and
other varieties considerably damaged.
Milton and Freewater fruit men re-
port that their yield this season will
exceed that of last year by big mar
gin. and that the quality will be a
much higher standard. Taken as a
whole. the fruit outlook in the Walla
Walla valley was never brighter. and
the increased acreage, together with
the care and attention given the trees
during the past three years will have
the direct effect of making Walfa Wal
Ia valley fruit foremost in the rank,
both as to quality and quantity.
