Another shows the celebrated apple
orchard belonging to the Burrell estate
at Diamond, 8 miles west of Colfax. This
orchard is surrounded by scores OF grain
fields, the land throughout the Palouse
being equally good for grain or fruit, so
that If the orchardist wishes he can grub
out his fruit trees and have at his dis
posal the richest grain land in the world.

Whitman county is in the heart of the
great Palouse country. where more
wheat is raised to the acre than in any
other county in the United States. This
is proud boast, not a vain boast,
borne out by facts that cannot be sue
cessfully disputed. The soil is equally
good for fruit. 1t is the future apple
country OF the Pacific coast. Nom
irrigated fruit Of all kinds is richer, has a
more toothsome flavor and is OF better
keeping quality than the irrigated pro-
duet This applies particularly to apples.
Where is the country, outside the Pa
louise, that has this happy mingling OF
products without irrigation, and in
quantity to enrich the intelligent tiller
OF the soil =? Mr.. Harris is prepared to
prove this, both by tabulated figures
and actual demonstration, so that those
who witness the Whitman county dis
play at Seattle cannot wag their heads
in doubt.
The Gazette believes that much good
will flow from this, causing intending
settlers to stop and investigate.

to the sight of the mysterious Ito them)
moving phantom. 40 we seldom hear
nowadays of accidents from runaways
and smashups caused by the presence Of
the auto. Auto drivers invariably stop
when they observe that team is likely
to give trouble, and in numberless in
stances have gotten out and assisted in
leading horse or horses past the mys-
terious object. The greatest source Of
complaint, however, comes from city
drivers, many of whom tear through the
country as though the world belonged
to them, regardless of the rights of
Others. The last legislature passed a
law making it a misdemeanor for an
autOist not to stop when he sees "A fright
ened horse or horses before him, and the
law should be strictly enforced.
The auto is here and has come to stav.
It's greatness and usefulness is fully
recognized.

Frederick II. Hinchliff is the owner of

last week. It's cost was $1,000. 1t is an
OldsmobiIe, 22-horse power, with two
seats, intended for four persons, but the
fifth can be crowded in provided she is
young and good looking. Rumors are
aft oat that another Cofax man intends
to buy $4,000 machine. which would
seem to indicate that there is nothing
too good for the Palouser and the Pa
louser is good enough for the best.

He has heretofore been known as one OF
the big stock men of Adams county. He
informed a representative of The Gazette
that he had recently sold his last bunch
OF 600 cattle for 500, 900, and henceforth
would convert his land into wheat fields.
Thus the evolution from a stock range
to the farm is actually taking place, and
in the near future we may expect to see
the big farms divided into small holdings
and diversified farming and fruit raising
follow in its wake. Mr.. McElroy says
there is more money now in raising
wheat than in raising stock, hence bis
change Of heart.
