burning desire to possess bells had struck
the town of Philadelphia. First, old
Christ Church ordered one from England.
It was duly brought across the ocean by
Capt. Budden in his ship the Matilda.
Evidently Budden was godly man, for
he delivered the bell to the congregation
OF Christ Church free OF charge SO far
as transportation was concerned. AS a
result of this generosity the bell rang
every time the Matilda entered or left
the port of Philadelphia, as a compliment
to the skipper.
Excited to emulation, probably by the
melodious sounds proceeding from Christ

The following letter was recently re-

Mr.. Clark, Speaker.
Sir: Speaker of the House you may

the world. I hear you claim to be man

To this Mr.. Clark replied that he had

therefore hardly in position to send the
money.

Four DAYS after that the bell rang
solemnly while John Nixon, in stentor-
ian tones, read the Declaration OF In
dependence to the multitude assembled
in the statehouse yard Not long after
that the indignant British swoopel
down on the land and preparations
were made by the patriots to evacu-
ate Philadelphia. In these preparations
the Liberty bell was not forgotten.
1t was placed in cart along with
its cotemporary, the Christ Church
bell, and started on the way to Allen
town. While the cart was toiling
through the streets of Bethlehem il
broke down and had to be unloaded.
Eventually the Liberty bell reached
Allentown. where it stayed until after
the evacuation Of Philadelphia by the
British.
Then. returning home. 1t renewed its
activities as participation in big hap
penings by announcing to the citizens
the surrender of CORVALLIS in 1871
and by helping to welcome George

Of peace.
It rang forth welcome to Lafayette in
1894 and, two years later. on the Fourth
Of July tolled a sad requiem for Thomas
Jefferson and John Adams, both signers
of that Declaration which the bell had
so joyfully proclaimed exactly fifty years
before,

On July 4. 1881, we learn that the
young men of the city rang the bell TO
commemorate independence. This. 1t is
said, was the last Fourth of July on which
the bell sounded.

helped celebrate the Washington CEN

afternoon in honor OF little Ethel

her home with illness the past three
months.
The little folks carried two large

10000 ACRES
IN ORCHARDS
Growth Of Horticultural Industry
In Idaho Since 1907 Has
Been Phenomenal.
FRUIT FOR 1910 WAS 81, 500, 900
This Years Fruit Crop will Surpass Last
Seasons,

AS near as can be estimated by
State Horticultural Inspector ]. u.
Mcpherson, there are now 10000
acres of land devoted to orchards
In Idaho. Regarding the wonder
full growth of the fruit industry in
this state in the past four years
Mr.. Mcpherson. la an article pre-
pared for the press, states;
The acreage of fruit as shown by
the manual of the state horticul-
tural board for 1907 was AZ 1863.
II is also shown by the report at
that time that the total number of
cara shipped from Idaho was 20O3.
This shipment resulted in the
revenue Of $1,121,6 $50. Since the
year of 1907 up to the present time
the growth OF the horticultural in
dustry has been something phe-
nominal. The report of the state
board for the year 1910 shows that
at that time there was $4,000 acres
OF orchard within the state. An
estimate of 1000 cars of apples
at value of about three-quarters
OF million; 900 cars of prunes
with value of about 100000 and
other tree fruits and small fruits
making up the remainder of total
of two and one half million dollars
Just what The planting has been
for the year 1911 it is very hard to
estimate, but as shown by the re-
ports OF the deputy horticultural
inspectors throughout the state,
100000 trees have been inspected
TOR planting in this state this year.
Figuring 500, 900 trees to be planted
it would increase the acreage from
rs, 600 to somewhere near 10000
acres now set to orchard in Idaho.
AS each year advances a portion OF
this acreage comes into bearing.
Taking into consideration the
young orchards that have come into
bearing this year, the output, pen
car, and the cash returns for the
sales of the fruit crop this year
should be equal to or even larger
than they were for the year o.
1910.
