He Made Good.

Lord Lansdowne once had remark
able prophecy made concerning him
while he was an Oxford graduate.
Jowett, his tutor at Balliol, greatly adj

would do. great things.
"There goes a man." remarked Jow-

secretary in due time in whichever
party he chooses as tomorrow's sun

How the Natives Treat GoriIIas.

Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always rs hu-
man beings Of inferior types, and it IS
for this reason that for long time 1t
was found impossible to get hold OF
an entire gorilla skin, because the saw
ages considered 1t religiously necessary
to cut of the hands and feet Of the
animals when they killed them, just as
they do with their enemies, possibly
for the purpose Of rendering them
harmless in case they should by any
chance come to life again.

BETTER THAN GOLD MINES.

Northwestern Apple Orchards Expect
cd to Bear Record Crop This Year.
Officers of state horticultural asso-
Citations and commercial organizations
in Washington. Oregon. Idaho and
Montana say there is every indication
that the fruit crop this year will be
the largest and most profitable in the
history of the four states. It is pre-
dicted that higher prices will prevail
as a result of the heavy damage to the
iruit crop in the middle western states
F. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner. says that Washington
will produce twice as much fruit in
1910 as in 1908, the year of the record
crop. Including peaches, apricots, cher
ries. berries and other soft fruits, the
yield will be at least doubled owing
to the increased acreage, he adds,
while the apple crop will show an in
crease of about 25 per cent. Oregon,
Idaho and Montana will have equally
large crops as the result of increased
acreage and trees coming into bearing
this season. More than 100000 acres
of lands are devoted to orchards in the
four states, and pomologists estimate
the value of full crop would un-
doubleday equal $175,00OO0O.
Northwestern apples are in demand
in the eastern and middle western
states and in Europe and Australia,
and the markets are being extended
year by year. American and foreign
experts who have studied conditions
in the northwest refer to the Pacific
states as the worlds fruit basket"
adding there has been established in
a comparatively short time domain
where the first foot of soil properly
cultivated is worth more than all the
mines from Alaska to Mexico and all

Legal Advertisements at Legal Rates.

It is a difficult thing to size up the
crop situation in this part of the Val
ley correctly, as there are so many
conflicting reports. Some localities
report crops as looking very good
and anticipate good yields. One
farmer told the Sheaf that he expect
ed his wheat to go rs bushels to the
acre, that is, on summer-fallowed
land. 1t is a fact that grain on sum-
' mer-fallowed land, where there had
previously been grown crops of clover,
show very little effect of the drought
Other farmers, however, report that
their grain will not be worth cutting.
Many localities have had rain more
or less during the past two or three
weeks and these rains have freshen-
ed up the crops greatly. Yet, it is
safe to say that very little better than
a half crop will be raised in the VAL
ley this year, but even this will not
be so bad owing to the very good
prices that all farm products will be
likely to bring. Conditions in the
Red River Valley are really better
than anywhere else in the northwest
and the Red River Valley farmer has
no reason yet to be discouraged. In
spite of the drought the Red River
Valley is still the bread basket of
the world.
