swing and no finer fruit was ever ta-
ken from the trees than is being pack
ed this season The bulk of the crop
in this end of the valley is being handl-

investigating new industry for this
section, namely. the making of apple

few this season and is having prom
inent groweps test them. The box put
out by this company is very neat in

The Yakima Daily Republic, pub
lished at North Yakima, Washington,
in it's issue of September 10 gives an
account of the sad death of the little
daughter of a former Surface Creek
resident. While Mr.. and Mrs. L. G.
Castle were picking hops their three
children, aged nine, seven and five
were left in camp to attend a fire over
which something was cooking. The
youngest, Evelyn, attempted to make
the fire burn more and poured kero-
sene on the flames, which caused an
explosion. The little girl was SO bad
ly burned that she died the next day.
The Castles were the earliest settlers
in the Eckert district and resided
there for several years.

TAKEN TO TRILBY LINE

Recently the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway Co. put down heavier rails
on the main line of it's system on
which Orlando is located, the rails
taken up being dropped along the
track The smaller rails, which for
many years served the company to
good advantage, and which had to
give way for larger steel bars, to
give safe passage to heavier trains,
have now been gathered up, and sew
eral carloads were on the Orlando
yards today, ready to be shipped for
use in the small branches on the
Trilby line. T he new rails put
down have added much to the solid
ity of the roadbed, making travel
easier and safer for passengers

WAS IT ACCIDENT. MURDER OR
SUICIDE? HEAVILY INSURED

Jacksonville, Sept. q. Other
than establishing the cause of the
death of F.. p. Castings, of the Ala
bama Power Co., whose body was
found in the water at the south jet
ty near Mayport, last Monday morn
ing, the inquest is expected to pre-
sent some added features which will
tend to show that the death to the
Alabama man came either through
murder or suicide, and not accident,
as at first believed. 1t is said from
an authoritative source that represen'
tatives of some of the larger insur-
ance companies are already on the
ground making Investigations to es
tablish the correct cause of death. 1t
is also stated that Mr.. Castings car
ried an enormous amount of insur-
ance, which has been taken out on
his life very recently. This fact may
bring about another legal war over
the settlement Of policies by the diff
ferent companies. 1t has been
learned from a guest at the Atlantic
hotel that Mr.. Castings was last
seen by him on Sunday afternoon.
walking in the direction Of Mayport,
bareheaded, with his mind very
much occupied, as If brooding over
some troublesome matters. The per-
son stated that though he was ac-
quainted with Mr.. Castings, he re-
fused to speak to him upon passing
and continued his walk toward May
port, He had no fishing tackle with
him at this time and was walking
very leisurely. The fact that the
dead man had his pockets full Of
sand as well as his shoes when found
has caused some more comment in
the matter and has added more mys-
terry to the affair.

J S. MARSHAL BROWN TO
LEAVE LAKELAND FOR JAX

J. C. Brown, the new United
States marshal for the Southern dis
trict of Florida, arrived this morning
from his home in Lakeland and
spent several hours with Capt. Horr,
whom he will succeed on the first of
October. Mr.. Brown states that
he has been cordially received by
the retiring marshal and extended
every assistance and courtesy posi-
BE or to be asked and that he has
been familiarizing himself with the
first duties of the office today.
The new marshal contemplates no
immediate changes in the personnel
of the office and, despite the fact that
he has received forty-one applica-
tions for the six positions he has un-
der him, there is nothing doing for
anv one yet. He believes the cur
rent idea is that most of the posi-
tionS under the U. D. marShal are
"fat" ones; but he states that only
one pays as much as $1,000, while
the others range from 5000 up to
the figure named above. Mr.. Brown
he insists that there is no title to
which he can or cares to aspire
is pleasant and courteous in man
ner, and from the impression made
on many who met him this morning,
is bound to be a pleasant acquisition
to the already popular Democratic
federal officials now in this city.
He will move his family to Jack
sonville as soon as he is able to Sc
cure a house, as the law requires the
United States marshaI for this dis
trict to be officially at home here

GOTHAM NEWS AND GOSSIP

New York Sept. q. Although
he has but little more than three
months to serve as chief executive
of the city, Mayor Kline is being be-
sieged with requests for appoint
ments for flee seekers. The air is
full of rumors regarding impending
changes, despite the announcement
made by Mayor Gaynor's successor
that he considers the late mayors
appoints so capable that he hardly
sees the need of change for so
short a term of service. Pressure is
being made upon Mayor Kline most
of all to remove Police Commissioner
Waldo, Fire Commissioner Johnson,
and hte air about the city hall will
be rather tense until some action
is taken that will put an end to all
rumors. In the meantime the city
campaign progresses rapidly with
new developments every day. The
fight has settled down to struggle
between the Fusionists and Tam
many. for it is predicted that other
parties will gradually get into line
with either one or the other of the
dominant factors. This, Of course,
does not apply to the Socialists and
the independence League. But New
York never saw SO many different
parties in the field as this year, and
the many-sided fight helps to make
the game interesting.
