WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington. d. c.. July 14.-Chair-
man Tawney, OF the appropriations
committee of the house OF represent
atives, issued the annual review of
the national appropriations and ex-
penditures last week. and every vot-
er who is interested in the revenues
and expenses OF the government.
should read these figures carefully.
1t would be natural to assume that
the expenditures OF a great govern
ment like ours which is expanding so
rapidly in every department colnci-
dent with the Increase in population.
power and responsibility, would show
normal and constant increase year
after year. and yet the total appro-
priatlons for the fiscal year ending on
June 30, 1911, are over rs million dol
lars less than for the fiscal year, 1910.
In other words, in spite OF consider
able increase that might be expected,
crease. Total appropriations for 1910
amounted to s1.055. .663 .267Ss. while
the appropriations for next year
amount to s1.o2s.125. 1888 It must
be remembered, however. that these
sums are not wholly a tax upon the
government; for instance, S244. .000, 900
we're appropriated for the Postoffice
Department, and almost this entire
amount will flow back into the gov
ernment through the postal revenue
that in itself reduces the appropria-
tions to less than $4,000. 900.
Then again, 1t must be considered
that millions are appropriated for con-
struction and other purposes. which
will not be used until later years. In
fact, the ordinary receipts and expend-
itures of the government amount to
only about $500. 100000 annually, 90
that that when the Democrats talk
about billion-dollar congresses. they
are simply trying to mislead the peo.
pie to advance the suggestion that We
are raising through taxation and ex-
pending hundreds OF millions more
than we really are.

FIRST CAR LOAD OF
APPLES SHIPPED TODAY

From Saturdays Daily.
The first car load OF summer apples
shipped from Canon City this season
was forwarded to Denver by Frank p.
Smith and the Fremont Fruitgrowers'
association this afternoon. The con-
signment was composed OF yellow

the loading OF car. They are OF ex-
cellent size. color and flavor and will
bring a good price In the city. The
crop this year is not as heavy as in
some previous seasons. but will be
remunerative one TO the grower on ac-
count of the scarcity OF that kind OF
fruit.

Henry. who is not necessarily chair
man of the Colorado delegation, but
who was the first delegate named by
the governor in his list.
In furtherance OF this suggestion,
the Colorado delegation will shortly
be called together for consultation as
to the course of the delegation at the
congress. There are some matters af-
fecting the reclamation policy, irri-
CATION laws. resolutions. etc. which
the delegation expects to bring active
ly to the attention Of the congress.
1t Is probable this course will be
adopted by other states TO the end
that when each state reaches Pueblo

monized course OF action outlined on
policies and important questions that
will permit OF expedition and success.

Never have the people of Colora-

now: business conditions throughout
the state are at their best, yet there
is dissatisfaction politically" is the
way Mr.. Vincent sizes things up. The
inequality of taxation has caused dis
content. he said. and there must be a
readjustment on a basis that is just
to all. Corporations must be made to
serve the public and compelled to pay
their proportionate share OF taxes. 9TH
erwise the government is not as good
as it should be. Railroads, continued
Mr.. Vincent, don't build up our in
dustries, or develop our agriculture,
but they do influence our boards OF
equalization for selfish purposes. II

and killed the last one of these trees.
Undaunted, Mr.. Rockafeilow pur-
chased a lot more eastern trees, pay
ing the sum of SIS for them. These
were frozen in transit and only five
trees OF the lot grew.
Jntiring in his efforts. he sent east
for more trees, paying from so cents
to $3.50 apiece for them. These he
planted, but SO fierce were the raw
ages of the grasshoppers and the rab-
bits, that it seemed for a while that
all his efforts were doomed to fall
ure. To keep away the rabbits he
wrapped each tree with tarred paper,
but the tar poisoned the bark and
every tree apparently died. Examin-
ing the roots, however, he found that
some life was left, and SO as an ex-
pertinent he cut off each tree leaving
Just one bud above the graft. Some OF
these grew and are now producing
some 80 boxes per tree. After that
Mr.. Rockafellow resorted to pur-
chasing root gratis and raising his
own trees.

MERLE VINCENT SPEAKS
ON STATE ISSUES
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Considering the warm weather, the
insuifficency of the advertising. and
the disinclination OF the public to take
a great deal of interest in such affairs
30 far in advance of the election there
was a fair attendance at the meeting
at the opera house last night to hear
Merle D. Vincent discuss the political
situation in Colorado. Mr.. Vincent is
resident of Paonia and is a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for the governorship of the state. He
is good speaker and has wide ac-
quaintance in nearly all sections Of
the commonwealth. particularly on the
western slops where he has host Of
friends in both the political organi-
cations.
Mr.. Vincent was introduced to the
audience by Manager Dewey of the
opera house in a brief. but compli-
mentary address, and made good" SO
far as the clearness of his argument
and discussion we're concerned. That
he is thoroughly familiar with polit-
ical conditions in Colorado and the
country at large goes without saying
and was evidenced in his talk last
evening. He touched but sparingly
upon the federal administration. con-
filming himself very largely to state
matters and to the political parties
striving for mastery here. Neither oi
them, in the opinion of Mr.. Vincent
are above reproach. indeed, both oi
them came in for some criticism. par
ticularly the Democrats, who have
shown very little Initiative in govern
mental and administrative reform II

acts that provide for the annual ex-
penses of the government-that Is, the
agricultural. army, diplomatic and
consular. District Of Columbia, forti-
fication. Indian. Legislative, Military
Academy. navy. pension, postoffice and
sundry civil appropriation acts-ap-
propriate in all for the conduct OF the
government during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1911, $SI9,647, ,052.02,
which sum is ss.5o6.0S5.44 less than
the regular estimates therefor submit
ted to congress at the beginning OF the
session last December. and $44,s14,527-
46 less than was carried in the cor
responding acts. including amounts
appropriated at the extra session for
the fiscal year 1910.
The river and harbor act. passed at
this session. appropriates sl1.32s.l13,-
80. and in addition. authorizes con-
tracts Involving further expenditures
amounting to sI0.6ls. sos. The river
and harbor act. passed at the last ses-
sion OF the last congress. appropriat-
ed only ss.435.750 and authorized con-
tracts in addition for only $685., 5,s75.
That act was not general In its char
acter. but provided chiefly for the re-
pair and maintenance and upkeep of
Improvement already accomplished.
No river and harbor act at all was
passed at the previous or first session
of the last congress. The one enact
ed March 2. 1907, which should be
considered as the one general river
and harbor act next preceding the
one passed at this session appropriat-
ed s37.10s, ,0S3. and authorized con-
tracts in addition to the amount of
si9,s29. .34s. II is therefore apparent
that in comparison with the act that is
to be considered as its Immediate pre-
decessor. the river and harbor act just
passed appropriates outright and au-
thorizes expenditures under contracts
less by s34.sss.7 1880.
The total deficiencies appropriated
for are gratifyingly less by 1857 .s54.-
IL than those of the last session OF the
last congress, and s11 ,s25.7Ss.71 less
than the average annual deficiencies
provided for an account OF any fiscal
year since 1898. the year OF the Span
ish-American War. 1t will be remem-
bered tha: the appropriations amount
ing TO nearly $4,000. 900 were made
in deficiency Appropriation acts to pro-
vide for the expenses Of the war with
Spain. For many fiscal years prior
TO that period. the record shows that
deficiencies were usually but little
less and sometimes considerably more
than those OF this session.
Mr.. Tawney, chairman OF the appro-
priation committee OF the house. In his
annual statement, gives full credit TO
the president for his aid in his efforts
towards economy, stating that the
businesslike consideration given to the
preparation OF estimates of the appro-
priations submitted by the executive

Ab0uf Thinning The Apples
BY H. R. Spencer Of Montrose. Colo.
From Fridays Daily.


Different varieties need different
treatment. The smaller varieties need
the most thinning of course. Geni-
tons, Missouri Pippins, Winter Pear
mains need most; then come Wine
saps, Jonathan, Ben Davis and the
larger varieties. The Arkansas Black
needs very little thinning II proper
ly pruned. Keep the lower branches
thinned out; the top ones reach out TO
the sun and do better. The finest
locker and best apple to pack that I
know is the Arkansas Black. Now
don't try to thin your apples down
from a ten-box tree to a one-box tree.
expecting by that to get an enormous
size of apples for that one box. You
will be disappointed, good normal
growth and yield of fruit is better than
a square crop,-better for the tree and
fruit.
You cultivate and water and keep
pests off the trees and force the
growth and not get good colored fruits
nor have them matured right, no mat
ter how much or how little you thin,
unless you give good attention to ma
turing the fruit and the fruit buds, If
you keep watering late and there are
very few apples you will have a big

THE BEGINNING OF
THE APPLE INDUSTRY
IN THIS CITY
From Saturdays Daily.
Captain Rockafellow encounters

From Saturdays Daily.
Captain Rockafellow encounters
many difficulties in starting trees.
In view of the great success of the
apple industry here at the present
time, it may be of interest to know
some of the difficulties which were
encountered by the pioneers Of the
business in this locality. Capt. B. F..
Rockafellow, one of the pioneer ap-
pie growers of the Arkansas valley,
was reared in the beautiful Genesee
valley of New York, region renowned
for its fine apples.
Coming to Colorado after the war
Mr.. Rockafellow at once saw in our
splendid conditions of soil, sunshine
and temperature elements proper for
the production of the finest apples in
the world. He at once set about the
task of getting orchards started here,
but the task proved greater one than
he had thought.
In 1869 he paid $500 for consign-
ment of trees from a nursery at
Bloomington. Ill. They we're over a
month on the way, and when they
at last arrived in Canon City were so
dried up that all of them died. In
1870 he purchased some stock from
Uncle Jesse Frazier of Florence who
had previously started an orchard at
that place, and to whom perhaps be-
longs the title of the Father of the
Apple Industry in Fremont County"
