HAS BIG FRUIT CROP

J. w. Ofield, the pioneer fruit
grower of the Snake river, who has
seventy acres of fruit land opposite
| Wawawai, and a mile further down
the river, was in town Monday with
a fOur-hOrse load of Alexander peach
es, which he was hauling to Palouse,
to be sold at retail. Mr.. Ofield was
one of the first men to engage in fruit
growing on the Snake river, more
than 80 years ago. and his judgment
of fruit is regarded as good. He pre-
dicted early last spring, that the
largest yield in the history of that
section would be produced by his
own and neighboring orchards, which
| escaped injury by the severe cold
weather which killed the fruit in
many sections of the northwest. His
judgment was good in this case and
his prediction has come true.
When seen by the Herald reporter
Mr.. Offield said; I'VE finished gath
ering Alexander peaches today. We
had 1000 boxes of Alexanders, alone
and tom orrow we start on the Hales
early, which is little better peach
than the Alexander. The crop is one
of the best that | have ever raj aised.
| contracted all of my fruit that could
be shipped cary in the season, SELL
ing to White Brothers & Crum, to
whom | have sold for many years.
| got an average of ten cents per box
more than | ever received for the

get forty-five cents per box for the
Alexanders and fifty cents for the
males early.
My vineyard looks fine and / ex-
pect a big crop of grapes. | have a
vineyard on the steep side hill which
drop of water on it except what
| fell from the clouds, and | don't think
ever saw better prospect. This
vineyard has been bearing for sew
eral years. / have travelled all
through California and have visited
the grape-growing districts and | say
unhesitatingly. that California raises
no better grapes than can be grown
on Snake river and mighty few dis
tricts in California can produce as
good grapes as we raise here
Mr. Ofield contracts his fruit early
in the spring. and the buyers furnish
pickers and packers and take the
fruit at the orchard. When Alexand-
er peaches sell for As cents per box,
at the orchard, there is an enormous
profit for the grower, especially If
he has such a crop as Mr.. Offield has
at this time. With a light fruit crop
throughout the northwest the fruit
growers who have a good yield, will
reap vast profits this season.

MEXICAN DIES
FAR FROM HOME
LETTERS ON PERSON OF TEo-
DoRE. PONCE INDICATE LAB
oRER is FROM GOOD FAMILY.

Having papers in his possession that
would indicate that some unkind fate
had pushed him into a laboring class
beneath his real station, young
Mexican named Theodore Ponce pass
ed away at Farson Saturday afternoon
just two days after arriving in this
state from Kansas City, Mo. He was
employed on the Milwaukee section
near Farson and the death occurred in
the bunk house. Pneumonia was the
disease suffered.
The body and effects were brought
to Sullivans undertaking parlors by
Walter Roscoe, and an examination
of the personal effects shows that
Ponce, unlike most Mexican laborers
In this country, was highly educated
man. In his possession were two
strong letters of recommendation from
]. E. Gonzelez, the Mexican consulate
at Kansas City; numerous letters from
a sister indicating that his home is
in Teziutlan, Mexico, and one letter
of recommendation from the Sisters
of Mercy hospital at St. Lawrence,
Mexico. Ponce had apparently lived
in Kansas City for some time past,
and had left there March q for Far
son, shipped by McGerr's Railroad
Labor agency. He arrived in Farson
March "a, was taken i'll the following
day and died Saturday. No disposition
has been made of the remains.
