ORCHARD BRINGS
MARVELLOUS PRICE
Fine Orchard Tract Near Fruit
land Sells for $500 per Acre-one
Of the Best Orchards on the
Bench.

Monday of this week a deal was
closed by which E. A. Blair owning
twenty-five acres and a half of what
is known as the Whitney tract, and
twenty acres of which is in bearing
apples Of the Jonathan, Rome Beau
ty and Arkansas Black variety, dis
/ posed of the orchard to J. HostetleI
and Harvey Coffman, of North Da
kota, for the snug sum of $500 pei
acre.
The orchard sold is one of the
best orchards on the bench and while
a large number who do not know
the property nor the wonderful re-
suits accomplished in fruit culture in
this valley, will consider the price
exorbitant, those who are acquaint-
ed with the orchard and the work
that has been done on it and the
profits that have been realized will
consider that the new owners have
made a good buy.
IN speaking of the sale Mr. Blair
stated, Had it not been for my
health it is possible that l would not
have considered even $1,000 per
acre for that property. l think
delivered to the two buyers dollar
for dollar as far as actual value is
concerned. Having been a sufferer
from asthma for a number of years
and lately have been severely at
tackled by the disease l came to
the conclusion that it would be nee
essary for me to make a change of
climate. l consider this to be one of
the finest, if not the best fruit coun-
tries I have ever lived in and would
my health permit | should certainly
remain here"
It will be seen from the above that
he price is not higher than the real
valuation the owner placed on the
same and that conditions alone made
it possible for the tract to be bought
at that price. There are many or
chards in this valley practically as
good as this one and hundreds of
acres which when they come into
full bearing viii demand the same
price.
Hr. Blair also disposed of three
acres planted to small trees one year
old in the townsite of Fruitland for
a consideration Of $1,000. This is a
tract for which one year ago he
paid $1,000. Miss Beeghly of North
Dakota who came here with the
and Coffman families was
the purchaser of this tract.
Messrs. Hostetler and Coffman
came to Payette Valley last fall and
located near New Plymouth where
they purchased forty acres of land.
They became deeply impressed with
the value Of land in and near Fruit
land and with what a bearing or
ehard would do and as a result Of
their Investigations they purchased |
the Blair orchard.
Mr.. Blair gives possession the
.wenty-third Of this month and will
move his family to Payette until he
is able to determine just where he
win locate for the benefit Of his
health.

cOMING-A WOMAN'S WORST
ENEMY.
Opening Bill, A Woman's Worst En-
emy-ApriI 13-Inside Track-Ap-
rii "A.

Mr. Wamsher's production OF In,
side Track" at the opera house on
April 1914 is stamped with the aD.
proval of all the principal cities both
east and west. This play was the
vehicle which Mr.. Oliver Dowd By
ron used to bring him both fame
and fortune, and established him as
an international star. Inside Track
is one of those plays which is Is hap
py blending Of comedy and pathos,
that appeals to all theatre going peo-
pie. The plot is so original and
unique, that no play has ever riv-
vailed it in it's hold on the public. Mr..
Wamsher has selected his caste with
the eye Of a thoroughly artistic man
agor. placing each actor in the part
they have made the best impression
in. and the amusement loving peo-
pie owe Mr.. Wamsher a debt Of
thanks for an evening Of Unalloyed
pleasure. Too much can not be
said Of the merits of this excellent
play and the way it is produced, es-
pecially the scenery and effects. The
fire scene is by far the best ever
produced on any stage. The costum-
ing is far above that usually worn
BY travelling companies. Take my
advice and don't fail to see Inside

Myron Leffingwelrs dramatization

Myron Leffingwells dramatization
of Augusta J. Evans popular novel
St. Elmo differs greatly from the
present day dramas. The story deals
with the life of st. Elmo Murray
whose generous whole-souled nature
was embittered by the discovery OF
the falseness Of his sweetheart ana
lifelong friend. This incites him to
become a man who believes only evil
of all He distrusts even his own
God and is not a companion of de
sirable seeking to anyone. This er-
roneous feeling is changed however
through the influence of Edna Earl,
his mothers ward, whose patient
example seems to fulfill the want of
a confident companion She al
though believing his act of killing
his offender objectionable, learns the
true character of this man and after
mis- joining the ministry throws al
the mournfui years behind her and
trusts him as she thinks he has made
retribution for all his sins At the
Elite Opera House, Friday, April 8.

Natural Gas for Colorado.

Denver.-All OF northern Colorado.
including Boulder. Longmont. Berth
oud. Loveland and Fort Collins. is
the Boulder field Of the United Oil
Company. A pipe line will be con-
structed early next spring. This is
the first attempt at piping natural
gas on an extensive scale in this pOr-
ton of the West. The Standard Oil
Company is installing at Boulder an
extracting plant to separate the gaso-
line from the natural gas. The plant
will cost 100000. The gas runs two
10 seven gallons Of a fine quality of
gasoline to the thousand feet. Bould
er is producing 100000 cubic feet of
gas daily. which will be sufficient. it
is believed, to supply the big towns
of northern Colorado. State Oil In
spector Claude L. Sweet will refer to
the new plant in his annual report to
the governor. The plans have been
considered for some time by the
Standard Oil Company and will be car
ried out as soon as the extractor is
installed. Il am informed" said Mr.
Sweet. that the gas will be better
than the ordinary kind because it will
go through a system Of refinement.
1t is believed the supply can be fur
nished cheaper than by coal produc
ton. There is only one small natural
gas plant in Colorado at the present,
but this scheme will be on a large
scale" The Boulder field this year
has produced $4,000 barrels of crude
oil, worth $l.oO barrel. 1t carries
nineteen to twenty per cent gasoline.
The refineries there produced 100000
gallons of fuel and gas oil and 1.00O,-
900 gallons of coal oil and gasoline.
The Florence field has produced 2OO,-
900 barrels of crude oil, valued at 81
barrel. The two refineries near
Florence produced 100000 gallons of
gasoline and coal oil, 100000 gallons
OF fuel and gas oil, 100000 gallons
smudge oil for the Western Slope,
100000 gallons lubricating oil and
100000 pounds of paraffin The re-
tail price of these products amounts to
Sl,5OO.OO0. Nearly the total oil pro-
duction of Colorado is controlled by
