There was s25,O00 reward for the
person who could tell where he lived.
He was so happy that he did not
think of the storm, but hurried home.
1t took him but few minutes to
fird the path.
While he was running along the path
he met a man who asked him why he
was so happy. Carlton said:
'T know where Black Jack lives
"What?" said the man as he drew
out his revolver, Tell me quick or
will shoot
The same second he had a thought
and he dropped the gun and ran.
Carlton picked it up and saw that
there were six chambers in the revol-
yer and not any had been shot.
He still could see the light, so he
raised the gun and shot, smashing the
glass to pieces and putting the light
out.
Carlton was a good shooter and on
the way home he shot four rabbits try
iue to find some place of shelter from
the storm.
Wren Carlton reaced home he told
his mother all his adventures.
In the morning he took the police

and he kept making money so fast

stone on the hearth. He pulled up

in his arms.
Just then a voice said: Hands up;

Tremblingly the old man did so.
With a quaking heart, but with firm

The rest of the night Carlton sat and
watched his prisoner.
At the first signs of dawn Carlton
went to the nearest house and told of

Carlton pulled up a chair and asked

CARLTON was walking alone
through the woods and a storm
~ was coming up. The little flowers
hid their faces and the trees bowed
their heads.
Carlton, the 12-year-old boy, felt like
turning around and going back home,
but his father was very sick and his
mother had sent him to borrow some
money of a rich relative who lived just
on the other side of the wood.
There was no money at home to buy
nourishment for the sick man, and un-
less he had it he would die.
Carlton buried his bands deep down
into his pockets and trudged manfully

get the money, for he had tried it be-

1t is so probable that the next
senator chosen from Washington
will give his postoffice address as
Spokane. Spokane county, that it
may be considered certainty.
Political fairness, then, would be
maintained if the congressman
from the Third district should be
chosen from some other locality.
AS A. f. Veatch, of Colville, is in
every way worthy the support of
all Republicans. whether in or out
of the city of Spokane, why not
unite on him with such an endorse
ment in the primaries and in the
November election that his hands
would be strengthened in the COM
ing struggles in congress between
selfish interests and the rights of
the whole people? We suggest to
every Republican voter who reads
the Standard that he consider we'll
the merits of all the candidates and
not be in too great a hurry to

Buy Fruit Lands Now

That there will be heavy adj
vance in both irrigated and non
irrigated fruit lands at the end of
this season, and that the prices for
1911 will show a material advance
upon those prevailing this year, is
the opinion of the majority of the
real estate men of Spokane who are
handling such ranches.
The opinion is based upon vari-
Gus causes, the predominant factor
being the excellent crop of apples
which is expected this year, crop
which will far exceed in quantity
anything yet grown in the Inland
Empire, and which will be superior
in grade and quality. owing to the
increasing care that is being taken
in spraying and IN spring and
summer pruning.
At the same time the crop from
the east is reported to be inferior in
both quantity and quality. For
some years past the output of the
eastern states has been dwindling
as to quantity, owing to the less
care taken of the orchards and the
slowness of the eastern orchardists
to adopt modern methods in apple
culture.
Moreover, the barrel method of
packing is still adhered to. with the
consequence that the apples when
placed upon the market do not pre-
sent so good an appearance and are
also liable to be damaged. Fur
thermore the same attention is not
paid to grading. Hence, while The
demand for first-claas apple is
steadily increasing. there is little
call for inferior grades, which must
find a local market.
There are more orders already
placed in Spokane for fancy grade
apples than this district can sup
ply, or which may be supplied from
the whole of the Northwest, includ-
ing British Columbia. which is the
only serious rival to the Inland
Empire and to the Hood river.
Hence, good prices are expected on
both the London and the New York
markets.
Under these circumstances q
heavy profit is expected from fruit
lands, and as the returns upon the
investment made will be so good,
it is automatic that the price of the
land will advance and advance
considerably.
Most real estate men are, there
fore, advising their customers, es-
pecially prospective buyers from
the eastern and middle west states,
that this is the best time to buy.
After the showing made at the
next Spokane apple exhibition and
the publication Of the statistics
pertaining thereto, facts which are
now known to only those immedi-
