Just one-half mile west OF Cliffs

Is a cherry tree Of the Black Republi.
can variety which attracts more than
a passing interest and notice from
ylsators of his vicinity as to legend
airy lore of the Klickitat Indinas,
places the age of this tree at a little
less than 100 years.
That il has borne fruit for very
nearly seventy years past is attested
to by grayJbearded men who were
boys when they first remember its
bearing full crops of the luscious
fruit.
The tree has averaged 500 pounds
a year for the last 10 years, during
which time regular record has been
kept of it's crop. This year 1t Is
loaded to the breaking point, and
every indication Is that 1T will see
many years of usefulness yet.

fore the weather interferes. This

believe, will be completed as far as
Hereford, Galloway county, by The
beginning Of bad weather.
The route for the electric railway
near Champ, south of Mexico, may
be changed from the first plans. The
settled survey was to run about one
fourth of a mile west of Champ, go
ing across part of MIR. Paradise's hnt

way ON his east line, which wou6
take the road directly through th'
