Things You Should Know

Every fruit grower who wishes to
prune should know a few botanical fea-
lures of the peach tree. 1t is easy TO
distinguish the last years growth from
the 2-year-old wood. 1t is necessary to
be able ty distinguish the leaf buds
from the fruit buds. The fruit buds
are two at place with a leaf bud be-
tween, and they are borne on last
years growth, never being found on
2-vear.old wood. The fruit buds are
larger than the leaf buds and are more
rounded to the point. The leaf buds
are slim and sharp pointed
The fruit buds when exposed to Sc
we're freezing in winter may be winter
killed." that is, the center OF the bud
may die from the effects Of tie cold.
With the ideal tree in view let the
pruning begin when the tree is set.
Trees of one seasons growth from the
bud are set out. The young trees will
have many branches and be from three
10 i've feet high Cut off all branches
close to the trunk, and cut the trunk
back to II or Is inches. This will
make straight stick of the tree above
the ground, and it will also make it
head low, which is proper. Some pre-
fer to shorten back the branches and
main stem This allows the tree to
head where it did in the nursery, which
is often 100 high. The following season
the tree will make a good growth and
generally Il good head The sprouts
that start from the roots should be re-
moved as soon as found

Copper gold ores are found upon
Niger creek, Ingalls, creek and
tributaries near Mount Stuart, at
Fish lake and Fortune creek on the
Gle Elum river, also above the
lakes 1T the head waters of the
Yakima river. Excellent lodes
and bodies of ore have been found
carving from per cent. to IS per
cent in copper with gold and silver
values additional in the form of
borite, chalcopyrite, magnetic,
and some native copper. Large
sums have been expended in ex-
ploration and development of many
Of the mines. With transportation
in sight the time is near at hand
when the mines of kittitas county
will be numbered amongst the pro-
ducers of rich ores in large quaint
ties
Cinnabar has also been discover
ed in large bodies at the head of
Big Roulder creek on Gle Elum
river and an oven has been install
ed at one of the properties for ex-
tracing the quicksilver which it is
expected will be i'll operation this
summer. The ore is said to con-
tain per cent to 5 per cent or
more of quicksilver.
Antomonial ores are also found
on ClcElum river carrying from 40
per cent. to 90 per cent. and the
owners of this property are very
persistant in their efforts to make
producing mine. Many III
stances similar to this could be
enumerated but sufficient evidence
has been given to show that kittl-
tas county has the material stored
in the mountains ready for eXtrac-
ton.

How to Get Rid of Flies.

70 the editor: We live in an apart

n half dozen flies during the summer,
owing to our keeping the food out OF
the reach of the flies and using a
receipt taken from your valuable paper
last summer. | herein quote the
re ceipt as we use it,
Close the windows and add quarter
of teaspoonful of carbolic acid to a
pint of water and allow it to come to
boil for five minutes, then raise your
windows and what flies are not dead
will leave the Dom. Once or twice a
week will rid your home of the pest,

THE VALUE OF
ADVERTISING
PRESS AGENTS EMPLOYED
Methods Adopted by Cities
That Find It Pays Worth
A Careful PerusaI

One of the surcst ways to boom
town and attract outsiders to it is
by advertising. Let the world at
large know of its attractions and
its value as a business and resi-
dental place.
If YOU read that Seattle, Tacoma,
Springfield, New Orleans, Mem
phis, Shreveport, PaWtuCket, is
each and scvcrally the pleasantest
and the most profitable place to
live in; that in Pittsburg neither
stogies nor steel millionaires are
compulsory social habit; that New
York is the only place to buy
stylish clothes; that Greensboro,
n. c.. is half Yankee and half
southern and a money yieldcr; that
fortunes grow on apple trees around
Spokane; that the sun loves to
shine on Kittitas;' that San Fran
cisco is better than it was berore;
that there are no poor and COnse-
quently no charities to support
one hesitates to name it-and if
you continually come across refer
ences to the scduCtiOns and COM
forts of these cities, you will know
that there a reason.
The reason is that even cities
nowadays employ press agents.
Advertising cities is merely
another application of the familiar
truism that advertising brings
success if what you advertise
bears out your advertisement. The
Springfield (Mass.) board of trade
has just awarded a prize of $500
for a scheme for agenting the city
which calls for an expenditure of
SIS, 900 a year, including a COM
bination notwithstanding notice
agent. This plan is now in the
hands of a special committee.
Among the suggested mediums of
publicity outside of magazines and
newspapers, which, of course come
first, are personal letters, buttons,
stickers, billboards, and a monthly
bulletin.
The Commercial club of Knox
vile, Tenn, expects to spend $40
600 this year in the advertising
columns of northern and southern
newspapers and magazines. Spo-
kane, Wash. is repeating its last
years expenditure of 100000 in
promotion work. 1t is circulating,
chiefly through its chamber of
commerce, newspaper clippings,
brochures, pamphlets, circulars,
dodgers, leaflets, and copies of
publications having descriptions of
the city. Every inquirer for in
formation is posted upon the cham
Der S bulletin board. He immed-
lately receives letters and rates and
propositions and pictures from
railways, from land dealers, from
bankers, etc.
This is one of the most compre-
hensive, impressive, eager and judi
cious examples of the new system.
Yet it is only in the leahet of a
dealer in Spokane IS city bonds that
you learn that Power City, owns
its own waterwOrks, its own gar
bage crematory and much other
valuable property and that its net
general bond Indebtedness is 81,
$4,000. No city that advertises
tells you what the tax rate is.
None except Houston, TEX, tells
what relief you are to have from
the ordinary or extraordinary bur
den of local political grating
What is spread broadcast, as oc-
casion serves, is notice that winters
are warm, summers cold Gas if YOU

KlTTlTAS AND
HER MINES
WHAT IS SAID OF KITTlTAS'
Mineral Wealth by Robt. Young
A MineraIosist of Seattle
Food For Thought

Kittitas county has bv natur,
been endowed with vast deposits OF
coal, iron ore, gold, copper, quick
silver and other matalferous ores
which have attracted the attention
of capital and mining men on ac.
count of the high values contained
therein
Large sums have been expended
in exploiting the various mining
properties which have met a fair
degree of success. Development,
on large scale has been much re-
tarded however, owing TO lack OF
transportation which in large
measure will be relieved by the ad
vent of new railroads now under
course of construction. Without
transportation the best mines ever
discovered were valueless The
dawn of relief is now presenting
itself in kittltas county which has
been readily welcomed by the ever
patient mine owners who are ready
to put more energy in to the devel-
opment of their properties.
Coal is one Of the most impor-
tant minerals in the county. Coal
mining has been developed and
worked up to its present capacity
BY the excellent quality of the coal
veins found in the Roslyn coal
basin.
With the coming of the Northern
Pacific Railway in 1885, dilligent
search was instituted for a supply
of fuel suitable for locomotive pur-
poses upon the heavy mountain
grades, resulting in the discovery
of the now we'll known Roslyn coal
basin which has proved one, if not
the most productive on the whole
Pacific Coast.
Kittitas county holds the proud
position of producing fully 50 per
cent of the whole output OF coal in
the state of Washington, the annual
capacity of the different mines now
approximate 1000, 900 tons, two
thirds of when is mined by the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
The Roslyn coal basin covers al
area of 20 to 80 square miles, and
what is known as the Roslyn vein
is the only vein being mined 50 tar.
An enormous quantity OF coal Is
stored up in this basin ensurlng an
excellent and abundant supply OF
fuel for a long period Of years.
The coal is of cretaceous age bu'
has the characteristics OF cokihe
bituminous coal we'll adapted foi
steam raising, gas producing, Oh
domestic use. 1t contains mod
crate amount of ash, and does ho'
clinker on the CRATE bars. Several
extensive mines have been opened
up; among the most important are
the mines of the Northwestern I'M
provement Co., The Roslyn rue
Co., The Roslyn Cascade Coal o.
Ellensburg Coal Co., Summit Ooa
Co., and others.

MAKING TROUBLE
FOR ST0CKWELL

Bismarck, N. D. April 1O.-It ap-
pears now almost to certainty that
the attorney general will instigate an
action for the recovery to the state OF
the fees which has been alleged by the
investigating committee that Supt.
Stockwell was found short. The sup
erintendent has requested that the ac-
tion be brought and it appears now
that he will be accommodated as he
was when he demanded the legislative
investigation. al
If the constitutional provision is
followed in deciding the matter
there is no question but what Stock
we'll will be required to cover into the
state treasury over $4,000 in fees
which he has contended sofar really
belonged to him besides his regular
salary. It is thought today that the
story he attempted to affect by hav-
ing the money on hand to pay back to
the state was all a bluff manufactured
with the hopes that the approaching
court action would lose it's effect

n. D. HOTEL man
Arrested.

Sheriff Belford, of this city, left to-
day for Williston and is expected to
return tomorrow with II. w. Wander
hoef, of this city, formerly proprietor
of the Vanderhoef hotel, who is
charged with jumping his bond, and a
woman of shady reputation who ac-
compained him on his trip.
Vanderhoef's arrest was made at the
instance of his bondsmen, who went
good for $500 bonds required in case
now pending in which he is accused
of blind-pigging. The bondsmen are
W. H. Wilmot and W. Morgridge Of
this city, Vanderhoef's wife is still
in the city.
About three weeks ago Vanderhoef
was arrested for conducting blind
pig in his hotel, which had always
borne very unsavory reputation, and
was released on bond. Soon afterward
he sold the hotel. Yesterday the wo-
man in the case, who has been hang
ing around the city for several months,
took No. 4, buying ticket for Lari-
more. There she took No. back
and at Devils Lake she was joined by
Vanderhoef. About this time the
bondsmen began to suspect that there
was something in the air and wired
ahead.
The pair was nabbed at Williston
and vanderhoef will be arraigned on
q charge Of attempting to jump his
bond. 1t is expected that his bond
will be put up high enough so that he
will languish in the county Jail until
his trial is called.-Forum.
