Big Fruit Crop at Cedaredge
Receives Much Advert

That portion of Delta county
Known as Cedaredge and the Sur
face Creek district is favored this
year with a record breaking crop,
and as fruit sections of this variety
are SO rare in the United States this
year, it is attracting no little at
tention. Many articles and pictures
tave appeared in newspapers OF
late which will no doubt do much
in the way of advertising this
most productive district. One of
these we herewith reproduce. which
appeared in the Montrose Press,
together with the contents of a
letter from one OF the leading fruit
growers of Cedaredge:
Secretary Sprague of the Electric
lnterurban Railway, is TO-DAY in re-
ceipt of a letter from Mrs. Viola
Widney of Delta, who sold to the
Electric Railroad people the 120
acre ranch and coal lands near
Cedaredge. Mrs. Widney, in her let
ter says, Il have just returned from
Cedaredge, and find the fruit condi-
tlons there in fine shape. 1 am
sending you by express some speci-
mems of branches of the different
varieties. Nothing has been dam
aged by frost, unless it is that the
cherries are thinned some by the
earliest frost. l did not have 10
search for these specimens. Have
never seen such fine prospect for
an immense crop"
Every branch sent was a magnifi-
cent display, indicating very healthy
fruit, and that hand thinning would
be necessary throughout the orch
ards to more than ordinary.
The box contained thirteen of the
leading varieties of apples: two of
the leading varieties OF pears. four
of the leading varieties of peaches;
three of leading varieties OF plums'
and many others of crab apples,
apricots, cherries, currants, goose
berries and other small fruits.
This large collection was doubt
less sent to show that none of the
varieties of fruit had been injured
by frosts, and that the Cedaredge
country is going to have a bumper
NlOp VI al SidSStS Vi II ull ne
centive for sending the box was
probably in the fact that the eX-
cellent prospect for fruit in the
Cedaredge country would be an ad-
ditional item tending to encourage
the construction of the electric rail
road.
This situation at this time can
not but be of very material interest
to the promoters of the electric
road
There are thirty thousand acres
of high grade fruit land in the vi
cinity of Cedaredge, large portion
of which is in fruit, and consider
able portion of that planted TO fruit
is now in bearing. and the fact that
this fruit under present circumstanc-
es must be hauled twelve miles by
wagon to get to a railroad, causes
the people in that vicinity to look
forward with more than ordinary
anxiety to the building of the cleo
trio railroad

The Anti-Tuberculosis Bill.

The greatest fight before Cover
nor Shafroth on any of the bills
awaiting his signature will come
over the anti-tuberculosis bill. This
measure seeks to prevent spread
of consumption. 1t provides for the
registration with the health depart
ments of all tubercular people. This
registration must be made by at
tending physicians and some claim
that the wording of the bill would
give any physician the right to ex-
anime any person and register him
il he found that person suffering
from tuberculosis. The bill provides
! system of sending literature to
the tubercular patients and provides
that health departments can install
certain rules for them to follow. 1t
provides that any tubercular patient
when registering at hotel or a
rooming house must tell the pro-
prietor that he or she is con-
sumptive. Failure to do this is
punishable by a heavy fine. 1t pro-
vides that when a tubercular leaves
a hotel or rooming house the room
in which she or he resided must be
disinfected and fumigated under
the direction of the local health Of
Gcers. Refusal to do this grants
the local health officers the right
to tack up sign proclaimiuE that
the room has been occupied by
consumptive and has not been tum-
ieated. A heavy fine is also inn
posed for failure to fumigate. The
bill is supported by the local or
Ganization of the Red Cross So
ciety, the old line physicians and
the various boards of health. 1t is
opposed by the new school of physi-
clans, the Christian Scientists, the
real estate people and the hotel
and rooming house people.

Denver is Sure of Apple show

Clinton l.. Oliver. secretary of

is sure to capture the National Apple
Show this year. as the directors OF
the congress at Spokane have writ
ten him to the effect that they have
Ceeided to turn over the event TO
some other city. preferably Denver.
The action of the Spokane people
is surprising but none the less graft
Tying. 1t means that they are Will

ing industry, to permit Denver to
have, for once at least, the institu-
tion which they themselves organized
and of which they are extremely
proud, The directors of the Apple
congress are jubiliant over the
Lews.
The prime object of the National
Apple congress, which has offices at
246 Equitable building, Denver, is
to make Denver the center of the
apple business of the country. 1t
Is believed that If the big National
Apple show is held there this fall,
the establishment of an apple ex-
change will be an assured fact.

Facts About the Fourth
of July Celebration
at Montgomery

We are in receipt of letter
from one of the committees on ar
rrngement for the Fourth of July
celebration at Montgomery. The
writer states that the president of
the mine workers, Ben Davis, did
everything in his power to make the
affair failure, Notwithstanding it
vas planned by the Miners Local at
CabOndale. When the committee
went to Mr.. Davis he took them out
into his back yard ana cursed the
whole affair. We are informed that
with tears streaming down his face
president Davis cursed the commit
tee, cursed the socialist organiZa-
ton and all connected with it, and
said it would be disgrace to the
mine workers organization for
National Vice President Hays to
make socialist speech; that it
would be "A disgrace to Montgomery
10 allow socialist speech to be
made there. and declared his inten-
ton to block the entire arrange
ment of the committee. We are
not surprised to learn of Mr.. Davis
actions we remember how he
worked and made speeches for the
Sam Dixon republican ring in Fey
Democratic ring in kanawha
He has always advised the workers.
to support one or the other corrupt
old parties. yet no man should know
and realize better than Mr.. Davis
the fallacy of such action. Davis
threw his influence with the demo-
Gratis in kanawha county, they
elected their entire ticket, what did
they do for labor in the last legis-
lature? How were the labor COM
mittees treated by both democrats
and republicans? You miners went
III the epenSe of maintaining
legislative committee, what did you
get for your money? This commit
tee cost you miners several hum
dred dollars. How much labor law
did YOU get? Not a line. and no
one knows this better than Davis
Then why should he object to tn"
political action of the working
class? Is it because he has cap
talistic mind and expect some day
10 be in position to exploit labor
himself if he is not already doing
SOp
President Davis is not the right
man to lead the workers in the
present class struggle. a man who
don't realize the necessity of polit-
ical action of the working class is
not competent to be at tae head
OF ther economic organization. Such
action on the part of your district
president does cast a reflection on
Your organization. National Vice
President Hays is a socialist and as
far above Davis as the moon is
above the dog that bays it. In Mr..
Davis eyes it is no disgrace to the
oFEanization to~pay president
Slhh a month salary and a 500 a
month expenses to work for a base
nall club and establish fishing
camp for the summer. but to tell
You that political action is necessary
IN Tree you from the chains of wage
slavery is A disgrace from this gen.
N"manS point of view. We are not
'on" with Mr.. Davis yet and in the
near future we will take this sub

Hartford Man Says He Knows That
 Jennings Story Since Boyhood.
 Regarding that great English Jennings fortune, of which Whiting Proper is one of the heirs, T. s, Weaver, of Hartford, writes to the Courant that he has "been familiar with it since boyhood." He has some Jennings blood Tn his veins, and his "boyhood dreams were connected with towing few barges full of money from the Jennings estate across the At lantio, but alas, the Jenningses have had to work their own passage while kings and queens and princes were having 8 royal time" MT. Weaver says that "Long ago. those most familiar with this ignis fatuus Qiberally translated the hopes that makes us fatO, had con- cluded that the estate, big or little, had been transferred to the crown and that Queen Victoria and King Edward VII were spending the money without invit- ing in any of the Jenningses to parti- cipate."

In payment the judge accepted a conditional bill of sale of four cows, as security until the cash arrives.

We Light the World.

The United States lights the world. In one hundred countries, colonies and islands, scattered in every grand division and in every climatic section of the world, American kerosene supplies light, while in more than eighty countries the products of our mineral oils are used in generating power or for fabrication Of machinery there in oper Ition. About 1000, ,000, 900 gallons of American kero- sene pass out of the country annually, to be used chiefly in lighting homes and places of business, and the value of all classes of mineral oil sent out of the country approximates $l00, 900 a year.
 The United States now produces two thirds of the world supply of petroleum, the quantity produced in the year just ended having been, according to 8 6 statement recently issued by the Geo. logical Survey, over 00.0O0. 900 barrels of crude oil. or more than 5000, ,000, 900 gallons. Just what quantity of refined oil was produced from this more than 5000, ,O00. 900 gallons of crude oil pro- duced in 1910 cannot now be stated, but the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor shows ex- ports of practically 1000, 100000 gal Ions year of the refined Illuminating oil, and approximately 300, 900, ,OO0 gal Ions of oil of all classes, including in this term Illuminating oil. lubrioating oil, naphthas, and certain quantities in the crude or unrefned state.
