Seven square Miles Of Fruit Trees.
In La Sale county. Texas, 400 miles
south of San Antonio. Is being laid out
waht Is said to be the largest orchard
ever planted In one continuous tract.
The property, which is now wild
prairie land. comprises $500 acres, or
little more than seven square miles.
Among the fruits to be- raised are
apples, pears, peaches, oranges, lines.
lemons and figs. OF the latter nearly
thousand acres will be set out, the
fruit having been shown to be a great
success in those parts. About 500
acres of the land will be used for the
raising of berries and vegetables.

ting the better of the argument.
Anyway, Miles Poindexter did a
most unusual thing. He reached
across the table that interviewed
and tweaked-yes actually tweaked
the opposing counsel's nose. The
laugh that followed was not pleas
ing to the dignity of the opposing
counsel; perhaps the proprieties of
the court were shocked; but, any
way, Poindexter won the case. and
to this day Frank Graves and Poin-
dexter speak not as they pass by.
In his personal life he is plain
and frugal-frugal to degree. He
spends no more than necessary up
on his clothing, and he has no
costly fad-unless 1t may be that of
the booklover. His home three
miles from the Spokane county
courthouse, is really in the country,
and room after room is filled with
books. On this little farm he lives
as plainly and simply as any farm
er In western Washington. He
milks his own cow, feeds the horses
and attends to the chickens.
No one yet has said that office
changes his mode of life; II he is
sent to the senate he will still be
the plain, unostentatious man who
few years ago was prosecuting
attorney of Walla Walla county.
One might think from the intro
duction of this article that Poin-
dexter is a violent advocate Of pro-
hibition; such is not the case. He
Is, however, an advocate Of tenn
perance in all things. In the local
option struggle he argued that the
smaller centers Of population aud
the rural districts should be free to
choose whether they would permit
the entry Of liquor, but he doubted
the wisdom Of putting the question
to a vote in the cities. The plan he
advocated ism ow law in Washing
ton, and much Of the state has gone
"dry."
Here is what Representative
Poindexter said about the breach
between the insurgents and the reg
ulars Of the republican party:
There can be no backward step
in progressive republicanism. 1t is
childish to suppose that threats of
withdrawal of patronage or any op-
position will cause progressive re-
publicans to abandon principles that
they regard as vital, and that they
have adopted after mature deliber.

The matter was then taken up
with the county commissioners,
who agreed that the man should be
treated. The assistant county ply
stefan, DR.. Newell, was called In.
and gladly went to the aid of the
sick man. The room where Milan
was housed was almost without
light or ventilation, and the doctor
had to light a match to find him.
The mans condition was SO serious
that DR.. Newell ordered his re-
moval to the Sacred Heart hospital,
where he is still being cared for.
