The whitening winds swept across
the plains to the eastward and in some
OF the cities scores dropped on the
streets. Corn and other products Of
the agricultural district were almost
literally burned in the fields. The
heat wave swept from the Gulf to the
Lakes and human beings sweltered in

sections of country and through the

COLORADO APPLE
KING THIS YEAR
CROP HERE TOPS ALL OTHERS
Twelve Million Barrels More Than
Last Year in L. $.

Thirty-five million barrels, or H.
100000 barrels more than in 1908,
is the estimated apple crop OF the
United States and Canada this sea-
son, according to Ren H. Rice, sec
retary-manager of the second Nation
al Apple show in Spokane, November
18th to .20th. who added in giving
out TIE foregoing:
While the quality of the product
east OF the Mississippi river is not as
good as last year, the crop will be
much larger and probably more
profitable. ne yield in the states
west of the Mississippi is lighter
than in 1908, but the fruit is of a
better grade.
The International Apple Shipners
association has issued an official
statement that the crop in the New
England states is 90 per cent in ex.
cess OF 1908, while the yield in the
central states is about Z " per cent
below last year and the middle west
ern states report a crop double tha
of last season. when the yield wa.
light.
Growers in the southern state.
report crop of from 125 to $50 pc
cent larger than in 1908. The Pa
cific group will have a smaller GRO,
than last year, but the decreases IL
Idaho, Washington and New Mexic,
are more than made up by the BIZ
yield in Colorado, so that the wester,
crop will be fully as large as tn
previous season.

but there is another family living near
a man driving a horse and buggy

That afternoon some Loveland peo-

horse. but supposed that Horst had

CURED to them that the horse had been
stolen. Friday night a man answering

Mr.. Horst has been with the officers

There is little doubt but that the
