In the passing of Samuel Lang
horn Clemens(" mark Twain") whose
death occurred on Thursday evening
of last week at his home in Rrdding,
Connecticut, the world has lost it's
greatest humorist and one of its no.
blest subjects. He fulfilled to the
limit the term of that phrase, "by
their works ye shall know them. -
There is scarcely a man, woman or
child in this great land who is not
familiar with some of his sayings.
His "Huckleberry Finn, "'Tom Saw
yer" and others of his characters are
treasured by nearly every boy and
girl in the land and his "Tramp
Abroad, :" "Innocents Abroad, t'The
Gilded Age" "a Connecticut Yam
kee'' and others find places in nearly
every household library. He was one
of the greatest humorists this world
has ever known and AZ an after dinner
speaker he had hut few equals and no
rivals. He was man of simple hab-
its, great lover Of nature. and de-
voted husband and father. To him al!
life seemed to seem joke and yet, ac-
cording to those who were his most
intimate friends, this great humorist
died of broken heart over the loss
of his favorite daughter. Jean.
His life had been struggle during
greater part of the seventy five
years he lived. By hard work dur
ing his early manhood he managed to
accumulate comfortable living which
a few years later he lost through the
failure of the publishing house Of
Charles L. Webster & Go. and the
greater part of the rest of his years
was devoted to paying of these obli-
cations which he shouldered but
might have easily escaped.
He was known to every American.
in fact to the whole English speaking
world, and it seems presumptuous to
euloRize this man whose death has
brought pang Of personal grief to
all who knew him or bis works. He
possessed splendid ballast of sound
common sense with keen apprecia-
tion of humor and he wrote just as be
saw the world. With these last words
to the attending nurse, "Why do you
try to keep me alivef Two days u
life to me are the same as four, !" this
grand old man of American literatu re
dropped tired hand across his breast
and the sentinels from another world
drew down the curtain on the last
act.

Condition Of the
Canned Salmon Market

The Pacific Fisherman in recent
issue says: :.
.sThere is no longer any doubt. 4
any has existed since the first OF tne
year. that the coming season will open
with the principal markets absoluteIy
hare of canned salmon. not only o.
the more favored descriptions, but OF
n;nks and chums as we'll. Business
In red salmon is now confined to COM
naratively small jobbinR movements.
rbonph the consuming demand is In
creasinp with the arrival of spring.
Local jobbe1s. who have been selling
IN q limited extent for shipment,
now find their stocks in such q condl-
ton that they can offer little or moth
ing except for their regular trade.
Supplies held by second hands In the
east are Of very moderate proportions,
and no heavy stocks are to be found
anywhere. Jobbers generally
throughout the country have been I'M
able to make ample provision for the
summer requirements, and are able to
nick up only a few small lots. The
movement of pink and chum salmon
early In the season. was very large,
and supplies on the coast have been
cleaned up to greater extent than
has been generally realized. There
is now very little left in FIRST hands.
in fact practically nothing at San
Francisco, and prices have been ad-
vauced on the offerings that remain.
The outlook is for an extremely
early cleanup on the new pack.
though, of course. much will depend
on the prices named at the opening.
Owing to the shortage of the present
season. buyers everywhere have been
anxious to get their orders in early,
and buying subject to approval Of
prices has been heavier than ever be-
fore at this season. 1t Is stated In
some quarters that the orders now on
hand, if confirmed, would probably
take care of normal pack. Under
such conditions there has been much
speculation and inquiry among buy
ers as to the prices which will be
named, but to all such inquiries the
larger interests maintain very reti-
cent and conservative attitude. While
the question is no longer one OF
creating a demand. but of supplying
the demand which already exists. all
the statements OF the larger interests
indicate an anxiety to avoid the sr-
ror committed some years ago. when
the price was advanced beyond what
the market would bear and to keep
values sufficiently Low to insure the
widest possible distribution and con-
sumption.

living Expenses Of Other pays

We hear much Of the increased cot
Of living In these days as against the
more fortunate ones Of the eighties
and nineties, but it would have rem
dered even our more lucky brethern
Of twenty and thirty years ago envi-
GUS to read Of the cost OF living in
England several hundred years pre-
viously.
For instance, consider the time of
the Plantaeenets. The man with the
equivalent of twenty Ave cents might
maintain his family we'll for the per.
Tod of week. With that amount Of
money he could satisfy the butcher.
the baker. and the grocer.
Seven hundred years ago one might
buy In England the finest OF fat sheen
for twenty four cents. purchase en-
abling him to give feast on penny's
worth of mutton. A COW was more
expensive. but even at that one might
be had for one dollar and q half, while
for nice fat porker the Enqlishman
of that period need relinqnish only
eighty cents.
In the fourteenth century pair Of
chickens could be bought for two
cents. and Ave cents was q fair price
for a good govse. New-laid eggs
fetched about one and q half pence in
those days; and for three cents the
brewer was obliged by law to sell
three gallons of beer. comprising some
forty. eight glasses.
The price of wheat sometimes fell
to forty cents "a quarter" but in
harder times it would bring four and
FIVE dollars. Nevertheless, at the lat
ter figures good many pounds of
bread could be got for one cent.
Even In Elizabeth's time rrices
we're very low. A household book Of
1889 gives these typical prices: Beef.
two and one-half cents pound; neck
Of mutton. twelve cents: twenty eight
pounds of veal and a shoulder of mutt
ton, fifty-six cents cheese, four cents
q pound; wheat, three dollars and
eighty -four cents a quarter ton.
In EnRland's good old days pasture
and arabic land were sold at ridicu-
lous prices-two cents an acre for
the former and twelve cents an acre
for the latter being deemed fair an
nusl rental. Drauaht horses we're
plentiful at seventy two cents each,
and oxen brought about dollar and
twenty cents apiece.
House rents we're so abeurdly small
that it is of record that the Lord
Mayor of London paid only four dol
lars and eighty cents q year to his
landlord.
When six centuries ago, father
sent his son to an English university.
four cents a day was considered q
comfortable allowance. with q mar
gin for such Injuries as wine at eight
or twelve cents gallon.
Labor was pretty cheap, however.
and even the salaries paid distin-
guished men seem ridiculous to mod
ern notions. Three cents q day was
fair wage for lsborer, and at har-
vest-tim four cents q day was the
highest sum paid. rwenty-four dol
lars was held to be no mean salary In
those days. That was the sum paid
to the assistant clerk of Parliament
and more than the average priest re
ceived. Harper's Weekly.

Do Not Neglect The Orchard

Judging from present indications
there is much wealth in store for the
western horticulturists this year, and
il stands them IN hand to look we'll
to the care of their orchards. Con-
ditions thus far point to an enormous
fruit yield all over the northwest
and too much care cannot be taken OF
the trees in order that the best possi-
BILE results may he obtained. The
amount of money necessarily expend-
ed for spraying and cultivating will
be returned to the growers ten fold.
Those who are in the business for
profit should not be ''penny wise and
pound foolish" Money literally
spent now will be returned with COM
pound interest.
The terrible storm. accompanied
by continued cold, which swept over
the middle western states the first Of
the week was the most disastrous and
far reaching experienced in genera
tiop and the damage to the fruit crop
in ten states alone is estimated at
over $4,000, 600. The great Mich
igan fruit belt, the home of the fam
GUS Michigan apples. is reported to
have been almost wholly wiped out
and the temperature In Illinois and
Iowa has not only killed buds, flowers
and fruits but fears are entertained
that it has ruined the states 50 far as
results this season are concerned.
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan.
Wisconsin. Kansas, Kentucky. Mis-
souri,, Ohio and Nebraska have all
suffered much. and several other states
also, but In not so great degree. The
cotton belt is reported to have suffer-
ed great damage and as a result the
cotton market has jumped 81 IS on
futures.
The old saying that 'its an i'll
wind that blows nobody good" seems
to apply with great force at this time,
and if present indications do not fail
western horticulturalists are to be
the beneflciaries.
Orchards that are not properly
cared for should be dug up and burned
on the rubbish heap. Whether it be
one tree or one thousand. these should
be cared for and kept clean and free
from insect pests in order that your
neighbor who possibly cares for hit
mag not suffer as the result of your
negligence and seeming indifference.
II your orchard is worth keeping al
all it is worth caring Tor and the bet
ter care it ia given the greater returns
1t will yield. If it is not, the sooner
it is dug up and the land used fol
other purposes the better 1t is for the
owner and the owners of profitable
ones. The land is surely worth some
thing, so why not raise q profitable
crop and let those who thoroughly
understand fruit culture look after
the growing and marketing of it.
The marketing of universally choice
fruit means much to San Juan county,
whereas. if few boxes of inferior ap.
Piles or other fruit are slipped in oc-
casionally it does great injury, for
the entire lot Is possibly judged by
the poorer class, the good along with
the bad.

This will be found a wonderful re,

When the stocking is rubbed TO n

Just as soon as the shoe lining has
