Golden Apples at WaIla WaIIa.

A former citizen of Madison, in
letter to the Western Guard of that
place, gives the following account Of
an apple orchard at Walla Walla,
Wash: Fifteen years ago, when ].
L. Dumas, then school teacher on
a salary of $1,000 per year, bought
100 acres Of land in this valley and
little by little. as his limited means
would permit, planted it to COM
mercial apples, the wheat kings
laughed at him and said he was
crazy. For the last six years this
same 100 acres has made Mr.. Dumas
on an average Of $54 for every day
in the year. He sold his orchard
two weeks ago for $150,000 a We
.natchee man being the purchaser.
The orchard is one of the largest in
the Northwest, and it is estimated
that the crop this year will be worth
$4,000 or $4,000 net profit. AL
aeady $1,000 boxes have been sold
to London dealers at a fancy price.
Four men each on a salary of 81 per
day and expenses, will superintend
this pack alone"

Too Sunny Southern Alberta.

Madison Independent: OLAF john
son. brother-in-law of the editor of
this paper, living in Alberta, Can
ada, spent few days at Hanley
Falls and this city during the past
week. Speaking Of the dry weather
up in that country he said it had not
rained for sixteen months, that
wheat planted last spring failed to
grow and that seed dug up was as
sound as when planted. not having
sprouted. He also said that there
was no grass and no forage of any
kind for the stock and how farmers
will manage to care for their cattle
during the coming winter is conun-
drum. There are some places, how
ever. where the farmers will get a
half and even a better crop, but in
the main the result Of the seasons
work will be nothing.

FAIR EXHIBIT
Don't Miss Seeing 1t When
You Go TO State Fair
Next Week.

Messrs. G. G. Eaton. in charge of
the Redwood county exhibit at the
state fair, and John Klaus, who will
be responsible for the effective
grouping of the products, went to
Hamline last Sunday to tackle the
job of arranging nearly carload of
grains. grasses and other farm
products so that the state fair judy
es may take notice and give Red
woodscounty as much distinction as
they did on former occasion. With
the talent and resources at the COM
mand of the representatives Of j. j..
Hills railroad territory to compete
with, Redwood county may not get
the chief prize, but we may be
reasonably sure that no Redwood
county visitor at the fair will need
to apologize for the display from his
county.

face on sideways, and he looked ex-

the sort of skate we used to know,
when you and played ball, some
twenty years ago. He gave out
punk decisions, Tom. he robbed the
local team; he took our candy all
away rank fraud all did deem; and
so we left the bleacher then and
ambled after him. and pushed him
up against the fence and tore him
limb from limb. The coroner and
all his aides were soon in evidence,
they picked the umpire from the
trees, and scraped him from the
fence. And if you think the world

have so shaped themselves that the
nomination of Mr.. Keefe by the
Democrats of this county has been
expected and conceded. 1t is also
generally conceded that Mr.. Keefe
will receive more than his party vote
on account of the county option is
sue. The Gazette is not yet ready,
however, to concede that majority
of the people of Redwood county
are opposed to county option. but is
from Missouri on that contention.
The issue is squarely joined and
will probably be fought to finish
for this campaign at least, though it
is true that the passage of county
option bill is not the only thing that
we are electing our legislators for
this year. While The Gazette is
bound to do its best for the election
of the Republican candidate, it rec
ognizes Mr.. Keefe's right to put the
matter of his candidacy up to the
people and will heed the lesson of
two years ago. when it was borne in
upon the candidates and people that
personalities in politics are doubt

CHURCH INVITES
NEW PASTOR
Christian Church Extends Call
to Rev. C. F. Martin
of Nebraska.

Rev. C. F. Martin, Nebraska
pastor. preached at the Christian
church in this city last Sunday, and
we understand that his congrega-
ton was SO favorably impressed
with his personality as we'll as his
sermon that unanimous call was
extended by them. asking that Mr..
Martin be duly installed as their
pastor in accordance with the usages
of their church. While Mr.. Martin
has made a formal acceptance, the
fact that he has been looking over
the city for suitable residence for
his family is taken to point to his
acceptance later.
Mr.. Martin took part in the union
service at the Presbyterian church
Sunday evening and left favorable
impression upon the church-goers
present, outside his own denomina-
ton. He is young man, and his
utterances bear the stamp of gen.
uiness and sincerity.
The Christian church membership
are to be congratulated over the
removal of the stumbling block of
the debt on their church, to a large
degree, through the action of their
church extension board in assuming
the burden Of raising the balance,
which has been reduced to $4,000
through the assumption by MEM
bers of the King family of an equal
amount, which they had previously
pledged. The donors are Alfred
Yeasley, Lawrence King. Mrs. Jane
King, Miss |. King and Walter King.
Former Pastor Smith was in the city
last week putting the finishing
touches on the negotiations.

LAYMEN TALK WELL.
Vital Facts Brought Out by Speakers at
Presbyterian Church.

In the absence of the pastor, the
congregation of the Presbyterian
church were last Sunday morning
treated to an interesting symposium
by four laymen, and the facts ELI
cited by the latter were forcefulIy
presented and we'll worth consider
ing, and suggest the advisability of
more of such talks for popular meet
ings hereafter.
Opening prayer and praise services
were conducted by the elders and
congregation, after which Supt.
Bebermeyer was introduced by Elder
Ellis, and gave talk on Christian
ity and Education" which was well
deserving of more complete report
than The Gazette has room for at
this time. Mr.. Bebermeyer demon
strated from historical data that our
present system of education, includ-
ing public schools is the outgrowth
of the efforts of the Christian church
church in its various denominational
organizations in this country, who
founded such universities as Har-
ward, William and Mary and Prince
ton primarily for the fitting of men
for the Christian ministry. These
were the fore-runners of our present
universities and colleges. and Mr..
Bebermeyer conclusiveIy demons
trated that the modern educational
system is the outgrowth of Christi
anity. The speaker made practi-
cal argument in favor of parents
recognizing the value of church and
Sunday-school attendance as an i'm
portant factor in the education of
their children. Mr.. B. was in doubt
about the advisability Of law pro-
viding for the reading of scripture
or other religious service in our
schools being enacted, but thought
that nothing but good would come
from making such use of the scrip
lures in the schools where the teach
err and patrons of a district desired
it.

mankind, as well as destructive of
society and a terrible tax upon our
civilization from every point of
view. The speaker had no lack of
material for showing the work done
for temperance by Christian women
in recent times. 1t is regretable
but true, that no subject is SO hard
to interest an audience with as that
of temperance reform, but Mrs.
Collins made the most of her oppor-
tunity.
Judge Laudon, in a brief address,
presented statistics gathered from
reliable publications showing that
the United States is at the bottom
Of the list of civilized nations in the
matter of furnishing crime, the rec
ords showing that in the land of the
free 200 persons are murdered every
week and only an average Of two per
cent. punished. while in Germany 95
per cent. Of homicides are punished,
and in Spain, France, Italy and Eng
land the record is IS. 81, " and so
per cent of convictions for homicides,
more murders being committed in
this country than in the principal
European countries numbering
three times the population Of the
United States, but not including
Russia, Turkey and the Scandinavian
kingdoms. The statistics quoted
place the dreadful total of murders
in this country at 10000 every year.
and the total cost of the made
quate fight against crime as in round
numbers So 500. 900 per day. Another
significant statement was that crime
has more than kept pace with the
growth in population in this country,
there being four and a half times
the murders committed now than
there were recorded twenty years
ago. Judge Laudon argued that
public sentiment must be behind law
to make it effective and suggested
that the people needed to be educat-
ed to the necessity of enforcing law
before much can be accomplished by
legislation.
DIR. Sarchet was called upon to
take the place of Mrs. Westfall,
whose assignment was as to the in
fiuence of Christian womanhood in
modern life. DR.. Sarchet affirmed
that women were generally able to
speak for themselves and confined
himself to references to the woman's
temperance crusade in Ohio years
ago, when he was a youngster, and
to enforcing the statement that
many things in the line of social re-
forms can be better prosecuted and
enforced by women than by men.
As usual, the doctor was not SO
"unco pious" as to resist the temp.

set for the picnic and final reunion
of the class Of 1910 before the gen.
eraI breaking up in Sept. The Hogs
Back, more properly known as
Scenic City Heights, was the scene
of the jollifcation and happy bunch
it was that gathered there. Twen-
ty out of the twenty-eight were
present to discuss future plans and
prospects. Supper was the first
item and in itself proved that the
girls of the class were not lacking
proficiency in the culinary art. At
forwards came peanuts and marsh
mallows, with songs and plenty of
good cheer. The discussion of next
year plans revealed the following
addresses for the members of the
class of 1910:
Myrtle lett, the first to go far
away, will teach in the west. Among
the rest of the Normal class girls,
FIossie Tenney and Edith Fraser will

teachers, for Bessie johnson and
Mable Longbottom will teach near
Forbes. N. D., and Bertha Becker
also in Dakota, while William Stron-
ach plans to go farther west in the
Dakotas, to fill a pedagogical posi-
ton. Several Of those who teach
this year plan to 60 to some higher
educational institution next year.
Among those going away to school

neapolis school of music, Willard
Fuller Hamline, and Glenn Gold.
Harry Callaghan, Whit Gray. Erwin

Anna Mclean will stay at home one
year and keep track of the class,
while Abbie Leavens will also re-
main in Redwood as the bride OF
Lyle Robbins.
| After meeting in which the class
was re-organized, re-electing old
officers with the exception that An
ma Mclean, the former vice presi-
dent, was made corresponding sec
rotary and a circular letter was
planned, the class left the picnic
grounds and in a body made visit
on the first member of the class to

and received a royal welcome at the
Robbins home. At last came the
