While these results are fairly attainable, if
a high state of the art is practiced, they can
never be reached by man who never cult
Yates his trees i'm their earlier life, or never
wages war on insect enemies, or who pastures
his orchard at all times with heavy stock, on

If the foregoing figures are startling, it is
because they are large and not because the
processes by which they are reached are Wild,
unreasonable or improbable. 1t is with pro
cesses as well as results that we are dealing.
For the productive varieties adapted to this
climate the foregoing estimate of the product
is not extravagant nor even large But let
us cut it down one half The following is the
result from 20 acres:
Bushels of apples produced years 10000
per bushel. $l22OOO
Income per year for 30 years over .........
The most cautious and conservative man
will admit the reduction of the estimate to be
more than enough for all purposes OF rciabi-

again Then We have:

Sold 40 cents bushel IS $1,000
Income per wear for 30 years. over .......... 1000
The most melancholy Horticultural pessi-
mist would not ask to have the estimate cut
below this. let me ask what other business
on earth holds out as much promise in profit
and at the same time as much opportunity for
high order of mental entertainment and ply
steal effort? The orchardst must live a life
Of intelligence, vigilance energy, but he Will

TRACE NAME TO THE FRENCH
Jonathan Carver Believed TO Have
Derived Word "Oreson" from
Early Explorers.

We believe 1t most probable that
the name of Oregon arose out Of some
circumstance connected with western
explorations under direction Of the
French Earlier than the English. the
French had pressed on westward from
the Great Lakes to the Red river, to
the Saskatchewan and to the foot Of
the Rocky mountains. They were rau-
ging the country of the upper Mis-.
sissippi in search Of furs and for
trade with the natives; they were
full Of curiosity and active In In
quiry about the great distant west
and the unknown western sea. or
this sea they possessed Spanish
charts and probably used among the
natives the word "Aragon" as homo
nym of Spain. When Jonathan Car
yer of Connecticut, was on his ex-
pedition to the upper Mississippi
country, in 1767-'6S. he made all pos
sible inquiries, he tells us, about the
country toward the west the western
river and the sea and the word
Oregon" and the name was written
for the first time, SO far as we know,
or possibly can ever know. IN Car
ver's book. published in London in
| 1778 1t Is book of little Importance
or value, except for the fact that It
gives to the world the name Of Ore
gon. which Carver says he got from
natives in the country of the upper
Mississippi. Recent writer's have
| shown that much of Carver's book Is
made up of unacknowledged extracts
| from French explorers before him,
particularly from Hennepin, Labon-
! tan and Charlevoix; and, as Carver
had no scholarship, it is believed the
book was compiled in London. partly
from Carver's own story and partly
from the records of French and Eng
lish exploration. 1t is significant, fur
ther, that in Carver's book tribes OF
Indians and various objects are often
designated by French names or terms

Rulers of Dahome Represented lr
Guise Of Beasts.

In Man Prof. j. G. Frazer discusses
three remarkable statues of kings of
Dahome now deposited in the Troca-
dero museum. The figures are symbol
bolical, each king being represented in
the guise of an animal. Thus Guezo,
who reigned from 1918 to 1875, and
was known as "the cock" is present
ed by man covered with feathers;
Guelele (185s-Ss), "the lion," as a lion
rampant; Behanzin, his successor, who
was finally deposed by the French,
known as "the shark" appears as a
dogish graced with the arms and sup
ported by human legs. The feathers
which once covered the statue of
Guezo are nothing but metal plates,
nails, gimlets and scraps OF old iron.
Prof. Frazer observes that the exist
ence of these statues seems to prove
that certain kings Of Dahome habit
ually posed as certain fierce animals
sor a. birds. They possibly intsnded
by this means TO serve sonne magical
purpose. AT any rate, they canAot be

Death of Charley Day.

Mr.. Charley Day, son of Mrs
Laura Nickens, departed this life
October II, 1909 at his home six
miles east of Portland, Mo. Hell
had been suffering Tor several
months with consumption. He
was an affectionate and obedient
child when young, and never
caused his parents any trouble.
He had sweet and gentle dis
position and none knew him but
to love him.
Why he was cut down in the
bright spring time of life, or
why he was taken from the home
of loving wife and child, moth
er, sisters and brothers and from
other devoted kindred is not for
us to say. The Great, loving,
tender and wise heavenly father
in his infinite wisdom transplant
ed him from this world of sin,
sorrow and bereavements, into
the Celestial Kingdom of perfect
love, beauty purity and happi-
ness, and it is our to say: Lord
help us to bow in humble, trust
full submission to thy great ana
holy will, for we know Thou
doest all things for some wise
purpose"
Some day we will understand ;
not now but in the coming years.
1t may be in the better land,
we'll read the meaning of Our
tears then trust in God through
all the way, still trust and pray
and then some time we'll under
stand
The man will be sadly missed

where hiss sunny disposition

Flying Machines as Scouts in War.
A Wright flying machine in order
to escape attack can shoot upward at
pretty sharp angle and be out Of
range in few seconds. A shrapnel
might explode fairly into the planes
without disabling them or injuring
the operator. AS target it is small
and swift, difficult as a bird in flight
to the sportsman with a rifle. An
army may have aeroplanes by flo
tillas as the navy has torpedo boats,
hoping that some will return from
any fight. Though they may do little
killing, they can see what the enemy
is doing-and this one factor means
in all the work of an army staff as
radical change as to eliminate the
post Office from the functions of gov.
ernment by the substitution OF
thought transference. Frederick
