issued bulletin giving the varieties
of fruit most suitable for Western
Washington with some OF their char
acteristics. The Ranch recently pub
lished that part of it devoted to apple
culture and we now give the part OF
it devoted to pear and plum culture:
PEARS.
The Puget Sound country has been
called the home of the pear and most
of the varieties now being grown
seem to bear out this statement.
Climatic and soil conditions are such
that many varieties reach high. state
of development.
Bartlett. Probably the most COM
monty grown of all the varieties In
this locality. 1t is excellent for can
ming, preserving and evaporating and
is also a choice variety for dessert.
It is large in size, obtuse pyriform IN
shane. with a thin bright clear yellow
skin sometimes covered on the ex-
posed side with a distinct blush.
The flesh is white. buttery, juicy and
quite highly perfumed. 1t usually
natures in September.
CIapp Favorite. Another early
pear which is often mistaken for the
Bartlett. 1t resembles the Bartlett
in size and somewhat in shape but 1t
is little earlier, smoother and has
smaller neck. 1t is excellent in
s%S,petIaSlity and does we'll in this locality.

Bose A large pear with long
slim neck, partially or sometimes al
most entirely russeted and with a
long STEM The flesh is white, very
buttery, rich and highly perfumed.
The tree is vigorous and regular
bearer, maturing in early winter. 1t
is an excellent variety when we'll
grown and is we'll adapted to Western
Washington.
Anjou. A medium large pear, OBJ
fuse pyriform in shape with short,
thick fieshy stem and thick. short
neck. The skin is greenish yellow,
sometimes quite thickly shaded with
dull crimson. The flesh is whitish,
melting and juicy with a distinct
flavor of it's own. The tree is vigor-
GUS with quite an open round head
and distributes it's fruit quite evenly.
This variety is one of the best for
market and dessert, maturing in
October or November but Is at its
best about Christmas.
Comice. Another pear of about the
season of the Anjou. This is beau
tiful greenish yellow pear, changing
to a clear yellow with crimson cheek
when we'll grown. The flesh is white,
fine grained. sweet and slightly
aromatic. The chief objection to this
variety is that it is often shy bearer

CASE PUZZLES AUTHORITIES
Tama Man Has Wife and Companion
Arrested, Then Dismisses Charges.

Clinton, Jan. 26.-The authorities
were confronted by one Of the most
peculiar cases in the local police an
nails after they had taken into custody
Leavitt Singleton, a Tama telegraph
operator, and Mrs. A. A. Clatt, also OF
Tama, upon request of the latter's hus-
band. The couple were escorted to the
police station upon their arrival from
Tama on an evening Northwestern
train. The husband Of the woman also
was passenger on the train, and went
to the station with the officers. He did
not prefer any charge against his wife
or the telegrapher. and later at night
returned home with Mrs. Clatt, while
Singleton left the city, ostensibly for
his former home in Missouri.
The police received a message from
Tama in the early evening asking
them to meet the train and arrest
the couple Officers Oster and Wall
ton went to the depot, and took the
young man and his companion to the
station after they had been pointed out
by Clatt, who had ridden from Tama
in the same coach with them. Clatt
told the police the operator, who had
roomed with them at Tama, was en-
deavoring to break up his home. Both
Singleton and Mrs. Clatt maintained
their innocence and declared they had
come to Clinton on the suggestion OF
the woman's husband. The case was
