value to the man or woman who has
comparatively small tract of land in or
near city and wishes to make the best
use of it.
SO, in a bulletin on the subject of bee
keeping, the department has put out a
| great deal Of useful information
1T may be safely said" the bulletin
begins, that any place where farming,
gardening, or fruit raising can be sue
eessfully followed is adapted to the prof
table keeping of bees, in limited way,
at least if not extensively
There are within the borders of the
United States thousands OF good locai-
ties for the apiarist-forest prairie,
swamp and mountain regions-where ag-
riculture has not as yet gained a foot
hold, either because of remoteness from
markets or the uninviting character of
soil or climate.
This pursuit may also be followed in
or near towns, and, to a limited extent,
In large cities. 1t even happens inc some
instances that bees in cities and towns
find more abundant pasturage than in
country locations which are considered
fair"
The city OF Washington, D. c., is said
TO be an example of this, as bees located
there do better during the spring and
summer months than those In the sur
rounding country. This is because of the
excellent bee pasturage found in the

Real Estate Activity Reflects
Condition OF General Business

with slow movement of real estate, but
when movement is lively and prices ex-
ceptionally good.
Practically every man with whom L
have talked during the past several days
made reference to business being rushing
in his particular line These businesses
were of a varied nature, and in this there
is another cause for good feeling, as 1t in
dicates that prosperity is general and not
confined to any particular thing"
When questioned as to future develop
ment by the Birmingham Realty COM
pany, Mr.. Beatty said:
THE amount of Improvement outlined
by this company is extensive to say the
least At present we are working upon
the building of a boulevard across the
northern section of the city beyond Nor
wood. This will connect with Fourteenth
and Twenty-eighth streets and a splen-
did pavement will be laid upon it. When
completed it will form a part of a splen-
did, smooth road loop around Birming-
ham and will be one of the most beauti-
full driveways anywhere in the country.
This boulevard will open up one of
the most desirable residence sections
around Birmingham and its completion
will be reached at the earliest possible
moment. At present we are held up by
some of the railroad companies in refer
ence to crossings, the red tape connected
with the handling of such affairs by
the railroads causing bad delay. We ex-
pect this to be entirely settled within
the next few weeks, however, and work
upon the boulevard will be started inn
mediately thereafter.

During the past 80 days there has been
a decided increase of business in the real
estate line" said 1. G. Beatty, general
manager of the Birmingham Realty COM
pany, land all appearances point toward
still more prosperous condition in the
FUTURE
Mr.. Beatty is among the youngest bust
ness men In Birmingham and his rise to
one of the most responsible positions in
the city gives weight to his words.
During the summer months business,
while not bad, could hardly be described
as good With the advent of September
however there was a marked improve
ment in the number of queries and sales,
! and each advancing week has found gen.
eral conditions much improved over the
week before
For instance, the business of our COM
pany has jumped considerably during this
period The amount of business trans
acted by US during the slack months of
summer was large and could not be
kicked upon, but the business we have
enjoyed since the latter part of August is
such as to cause ones heart to rejoice.
This condition I have learned by talk
ing with other real estate men is gem
eral, and as consequence nearly every
one in this particular line is wearing a
smile.
There can be but one cause for this
condition, and that is that general BUSH
ness affairs around Birmingham are un-
usually brisk. Our line of business feels
the trend of prosperity and depression
more keenly than any other. Of course,
it is possible for good times to prevail

many gardens and parks and in the nee
tar-yieldng shade trees along the streets.
. Hunting Grounds.
Linden trees, rarely seen in the coun-
try, abound in the parks and for miles
along the streets and avenues of the city.
These trees furnish a happy hunting
ground for bees. On vacant lots and in
neglected corners the sweet clover grows
in profusion-another delight to the in
sects.
Bees will seek out the nutriment that
suits them, no matter where the hives are
located. A prosperous apiary is kept on
the roof Of a business house In New York
city, and another of 30 to 40 colonies, holds
i, sway on the roof of a Cincinnati business
house. From the latter 80 or 40 pounds
of honey per colony is obtained each
year. From each place the bees go out
to seek the best pasturage. Neighbour
hoods to be attractive to bees should con-
tain some of the following plants or
trees:
Filbert bushes, useful as windbreaks
and for their nuts, yield pollen in Febru-
airy and March,
. Rape, whic hcan be grown successfully
in the north for pasturage, green manur-
Ing, or seed. When permitted to bios
som, yield considerable pollen and honey
Apricot peach, pear. plum cherry APP
pie, currant and gooseberry blossoms
yield pollen and honey in abundance dur
ing April and May. Colonies of bees that
have wintered well often gather during
the apple bloom period u to 10 pounds of
surplus honey of fine quality
The locust tree, the poplar and the
horse chestnut are all fine honey pro-
ducers in May. The locust yields light
colored, clear honey of fine quality the
others amber-colored honey of good body
and fair flavor.
Bees Love Clover.
'Clovers form favorite pasturage for
the honey bee. The crimson clover, blos-
soming in April or May yields fine, light
colored honey; other varieties, blossom
ing in May, June or July, give honey of
excellent quality and rich yellow color
Asparagus blossoms are greatly in bee
favor during June and July. During the
same months in the west alfalfa furnishes
a large amount of very fine honey Pars-
nips left for seed and blossoming from
June to August are greatly liked by the
little honey-makers So Is peppermint
when 1t comes to blossom.
Blossoms of sweet clover form a yalua-
BILE forage crop. SO do the blossoms of
cucumber, squash, pumpkin and melon.
Buckwheat is an important honey and
pollen producer. It's blossoms appear
about four weeks after the seed is sown.
hence It may be made to fill in a summer
dearth of honey plants.
Bees are extensive and scientific for
ayers. They go from two and a half to
three miles In all directions from the
apiary and thus range over an area of
10000 to 1900 acres. If but one square
foot in 100 produces honey-yielding
plant, they still have 100 to $50 acres of
pasturage and quite likely 80 to 40 acres
may be in bloom at one time within range
of the bees.

From the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald
recent writer on economic questions
asserted that the bee fully deserves a
share in the national affection which is
lavished on the hen. The hen maintains
it's reputation by giving poultry products
to the value of $500, 900, 000 which is more
than that of the average wheat crop. The
poultry product value is "a times that of
the honey crop, but the hen Is much more
than "a times the size of the bee. There
fore the bee ought to have the benefit of
the doubt.

WENATCHEE AP-

The following little story was
taken from the Bristol Banner, of
Bristol, indiana:
Mrs. Sam Bardo, of east of town,
brought to this off1ce for inspection,
last Monday, box Of apples sent
her by her brother, Jesse Eyer, of
Wenatchee, Wash. The assortment
included the Black Ben Davis, Gano,
Winter Banana, Wolf River, Spitzen-
berg, Rome Beauty and Winesap.
The latter was beautiful specimen
weighing IA pounds and measuring
IA inches in circumference. All were
products of the famous Wenatchee
valley-'where dollars grow on trees
"a claim that no doubt is correct,
figuratively speaking, judging by the
apple products. A large Black Ben
Davis was left with us to sample, for
which Mrs. Bardo has our thanks"

Samuel Hawkins, an aged pros
pector, we'll known in this county,
was killed Friday night near Mer-
rift, by being hit by the through
eastbound freight. Hawkins had
been to Merritt, where he had pur-
chased some groceries and was carry
ing them to his cabin, which is To-
Gated between Merritt and the sum-
NIT. The railroad, for a great part
Of the distance over the mountains,
runs through great cuts of snow and
ice. The snow is piled in some
places Is and 20 feet high on each
side of the track, and there is just
room enough for the train to pass
through. Evidently Hawkins was in
one of these great cuts when he
heard the train coming, and in at
tempting to climb the icy slopes out
of the roadbed he slid under the
train. The body of the man was
frightfully cut up and was scattered
along the track for a distance of
two miles. The freight train passed
Merritt about o'clock Friday night,
but the remains of the man were
not found until about 10 o'clock.

AGAINST
APPLE BOX
GROWERS OF THE VALLEY DO
NOT LIKE AGREEMENT MADE
TIONAL CAPITAL,

The growers all over the valley
are protesting against the size Of the
new apple box which has been agreed
upon at Washington, D. c., and
which is to be Incorporated into the
Porter packing and grading bill.
Since the news of the agreement as
to the size of the box was published
in the Daily World of last Saturday,
this paper has been called up by
growers all over the valley protest
ing against this measure. M. o.
Tibbits has been censured very
harshly for ever agreeing to the COM
promise. 1t is likely that a public
meeting of the growers will be held
here some time this week to protest
against the measure passing.
The new box as adopted by the
Washington fruit growers will have
an inside capacity of 2,342 inches.
All the other boxes used will have
to be marked with the cubic capacity
and marked "short box" These will
not have the prestige of the stand
ard box and the growers believe that
this will prejudice against the fruit
sold in the smaller boxes. The new
box will be one and one-half inches
longer, and, as one of the growers
stated this morning, the size is so
that the boxes will not fit snugly into
a wagon box or in car and will be
a regular nuisance to handle.
The balance of the fruit sections
of the state are making kick
against the new measure and 1t is
thought that change can be made.

fed of the accident at once and took
the night train to Merritt. No in
quest was held.
Samuel Hawkins was one of the
best known prospectors of Chelan
county. He came here a couple of
years before the completion of the
Great Northern railroad and has
been engaged in mining ever since.
This winter he has been engaged in
running a long tunnel on some prop
erty that he has west of Merritt. H.
B. Smith, the storekeeper of Merritt,
has been grubstaking him on this
proposition and it was to his place
that Hawkins had been when he met
his death. He had run a tunnel $50
feet this winter and it is said that
he had a very promising looking
prospect.
Hawkins was about so years of
age. There is little known about his
family, though H. B. Smith stated
that some seven or eight years ago
he heard Hawkins state that he had
a brother living at Portland.
The interment was at o'clock this
from Sprague's underta't-
ing parlors.

MORE PETITIONS
ON SALOON MATTER
ARE PUSHING PETI-
TIONS UNFOLDING COUNCIL
ANOTHER ONE FAVORS A
RECONSIDERATION.

The churches of the city have
taken cognizance of the action of
the city council in ordering a closed
town after June /. Saturday eve
ming the pastors of the various
churches were given blank petitions,
congratulating the members of the
council for the stand taken and ask
ing that there be no reconsideration
of the order. The petitions were
drawn by the ladies of the w. C. T..
U. organization. Following the ser
vices yesterday these petitions were
very freely signed and are being
circulated among the business men
today.
The report has been current that
another petition is to be presented
to the mayor today asking his inter-
cession to have the vote reconsidered
and action deferred, claiming that
the closing of the saloons will work
a great business injury to the city.
Mayor Gellatly has not seen the COM
mittee up to noon today.
Strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon several of the members
of the council for a rehearing, but
it is understood there will be no
change in the action.
Several of the pastors discussed
the liquor problem in the pulpits
yesterday and very decided stands
were taken.
1t is likely that the session of the
council tomorrow evening will be a
lively one.
