APPRECIATION OF WRIGHT.
Philadelphia journal of Commerce
Gives SuSquehanna Man "a Puff.

The Journal of Commerce of Phil
adelphia devotes a column to an
appreciative sketch of Hon. C. F..
Wright of Susquehanna, former
Congressman, at present state treas
urer and the Republican nominee
for the same position at the coming
election. Says the Journal:
Probably no more flattering testi-
monial of the general popularity and
worth of Mr.. Wright could be found
than the almost unanimous salts
faction with which his appointment
was viewed, coming as it did at the
end of a vigorous campaign by
many prominent men for the posi-
tion-a contest in which the ap-
pointee took no part.
1t would naturally make any man
feel proud, and knowing Mr.. Wright,
it is sure the universal words of
praise were duly appreciated by
him. But they haven't gone to his
head, you can depend on that. If
you were talking to him he would
tell you the appointment was a rec
ognition of Susquehanna county by
the powers that be, and he'd feel
that way about 1t. Probably the Sc
cret of Susquehanna county peoples
pride in Mr.. Wright's success and
the absence of jealousy when he is
honored is largely due to the fact
that he never gets "chesty" over
any political achievement. He's al,
ways the same plain Fred Wright
to anyone who knows him and
doesn't banker after any Other
handle to his name.
Mr.. Wright was born at Forest
Lake. He was educated in the town
ship schools and in Montrose. In
1875 he became teller in the First
National bank at Montrose. Sil
years later he went to the Susque
hanna bank and retired from the
position of cashier there when h'
assumed the duties of state treas
urer. He has large outside bust
ness interests, being connected will
| a number of big chemical and othel
enterprises In various parts of the
state. He was three times elected
to Congress and has been a delegat'
to ever 80 many Republican nation
al conventions. Without question
he is one of the most popular Re
| publicans in the state.

AN OPINION ON APPLES.
Correspondent Outlines What Can
be Done In This state.

Editor of The Citizen:
Noticing in your last issue your
statement from Pittston Gazette re-
garding the apple question, also the
quantity purchased by the different
fruit firms of New York, Boston
and Philadelphia from the apple
growing states of Colorado, Wash
ington, California. Oregon, Indiana,
Montana and Utah.
Now l am glad to express my
self with Prof. Surface of Philadel-
phia that as good prospects lie with
the old states of Pennsylvania and
New York as any of those states
for apples when the citizens of these
states accept the opportunity open
to them.
The writer lived in Colorado IL
years, was one of the early settlers
of the famous Grand Valley" near
Grand Junction. | understand the
conditions, which are these: The
alkali soil, which is the principal in
the soil for apples, is everywhere
in the agricultural lands of Colorado
and Utah, and as the apple and
peach is composed mostly of alkali,
nothing is better for them than
such SOIL but irrigation is necessary
to produce anything which is done
at a great cost of labor and money
and an irrigated apple l don't con-
slider equal to those not irrigated.
| have been a fruit grower in
| oregon 20 years. / understand the
apple from the nursery until 1t is
in the cars on its way to the east
California is not much of an apple
country, and the people here in
Pennsylvania do not know what an
awful expense is attached to an ap-
pie orchard in those states. The
people here that are induced to buy
those orchard tracts there at the
! figures they are held at can never
reap enough benefit from them to
replace the purchase money. Why
not awake to the fact that the Penn
| sylvanians are sleeping on their op-
/ portunities? They should know
their own county. They pay $500
for car, or one cent per pound for
! getting their fruit transported.
| They have boxes to pay for at good
/ figures Every box packed costs
five cents. These apples, if not
! grown to a good size, are worth
less, as the price for them don't
any more than pay the expense.
! Their orchards must be constantly
cultivated. Their spray is very ex-
pensive. Their apples are three to
five inches apart, which is the mini
mum. Every variety of apple that
grows there can be grown in Penn
sylvania soil with less cost than it is
done there.
l heard a prominent fruit grower
say in Oregon last winter that the
east would always be glad to buy
| their apples at such figures. Now
these orchardists are always glad to
sell out, very well knowing that it
| is best for them. But l would re-
! joice to know that Pennsylvania
will soon awake to her interests and
the star of the west" will be "the
sun of the east" as far as apple
! growing is concerned.
The writer is Pennsylvania
and has come from Oregon to spend
the rest of her days among the
maple groves and flowery hills and
valleys of Dear old Pennsylvania. p"

THE EPOCH-MARKING TRIP OF
THE SALMON.

In his fascinating book, Forty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, p
Jules Verne has described submarine
conditions that have not yet been &C
tuaHy realized to any great extent
But the trip the submarine torpedo
beat Salmon has just taken from
Quincy to Hamilton, Bermuda, and
back points the way to new achieve
ments in this special field.
The old theory regarding submarines
was that they were chiefly useful for
harbor defense The feat performed by
the Salmon has changed all that. The
l.7OO-mile run Is the longest Of its
kind on record. Moreover, 1t was made
without mishap. For two days and
three nights the Salmon was storm
tossed; but no accident occurred. On
the way down she maintained an avl
erage speed of nine knots an hour and
coming back raised this to ten knots
At one time the speed went UP to
twelve knots. There was a strong

TIME FOR DRASTIC ACTION
HAS ARRIVED.

It begins to look very much as II
the time had arrived for Uncle Samuel
to give DR.. Madriz something a little
more drastic than a mild scolding. To
days reports are that the doctor has
ordered a general slaughter of prison
ers, including Americans, especially one
William Pittman, the young New
Highlander, who went to Central Amer
lea IN search Of excitement and found
1t.
1t seems that DR.. 8IadTiz has a
number OF adobe walls that have not
felt the spatter of bullets for several
years, so the order has gone forth for
sort of general holiday for killing
prisoners. DR.. Madriz Is reported 70
have issued an order 10 his officers to
shoot, without fear OF consideration,
the revoIutionists you may capture by
attack and the prisoners you may
have
Right here Is where the United
States should have something emphatic
to say 1t VIII be remembered that
when Pittman was captured Secretary
Knox acted promptly" by cabling
the following orders TO American con-
suls and naval commanders IN the
neighborhood.
There is a newspaper report from
Juan del Sur to the effect that William
Plttman. an American citizen, who IS
alleged to have laid mines while oper-
ating with the Estrada forces, has been
made prisoner with the Madr1z forces

DR.. Madriz took this so seriously
that within a few weeks William Pitt
man was transferred 10 a dungeon,
maltreated, and nearly starved 10
death. Again we protested and as
surances came back that Pittman had
/ been placed IN larger, cleaner, and less
uncomfortable quarters, and thereafter

AND BASEBALL
PERCENTAGE TABLES.

It Is sign ificant TO note that IN good
health and baseball Washington Oc-
eupies an unlenviable position when
the percentage tables showing tEs
standing of American cities IN these
two. great issues are studied. On this
page Of The Times today appears a
forceful article by E W Oyster, dis
cussing these conditions and the causes
leading up to them. It Is well worth
reading
Nr. Oysters business at one time
took him, for a year, into the very
heart Of Washington's slums. and 1t Is
there he finds the explanation of our
poor showing IN the good health col
umn. He sounds a note of alarm that
should set the whole community think
ing. He raises a question that we
must. sooner or later, answer. Not
by any means new, the information
to be found In Mr. Oysters article
nevertheless Is startling Indeed, the
very fact that It Is not new, but Is
more or less familiar to practically
all Washingtonians, makes it more
than ever incumbent on the commun-
itv to consider It and seek TO find an
answer TO the question which 1t flashes
before the readers mind.

NEED OF PATIENCE AND OR
Derby PROGRESS.

A sermon preached by the arch
bishop of Canterbury on Sunday was
so noteworthy that it was eabled TO
this country. 1t dealt with the main
trouble of the world, a disposition, as
the archbishop viewed it, to find the
short cuts toward the solution OF
al the varying problems Of life. In
this tendency toward Impotence the
Eng ISL prelate saw grave danger.
Y hile he urged that it was whole
some to be holly intolerant of wrong
he declared that that spirit of i,sen
would not solve the great perplexities
To the contrary, he suggested patience
