Raising Apple Standards.

Last week Captain Smith, who holds
down a desk in the private office of
Secretary of Agriculture Houston. Wis
tied the Grand valley for two days; he
had been in San Francisco attending
a meeting of the workers in the west
and on his way east was stopping for
a few hours with the county agents;
and Tuesday and was taken to the
peach fields in the Palisade section.
as well as to some of the apple or
chards.
In talking over the situation he
called attention to the remarkable
advance that has been made in raising
fruit in the eastern states the past
few years and especially apples, and
called attention to the cheap lands
upon which these orchards were To-
Gated, mentioning particularly that he
had recently been in Virginia where
lands could be bought for $45 per acre
and produced the very best of fruit;
all that is necessary is to bring back
the soil by adding fertilizers and min
eral qualities. The west had taught
the east the merits of spraying, prun-
ming and thinning and now she is
taking away the fancy markets of a
few years ago. Besides this the east
has given more attention to many
matters not yet studied by the west
and in this connection we call atten-
tion to a rather lengthy article in this
department giving results of careful
Investigations and experiments in
Pennsylvania, by the head of the state
school of agriculture. 1t is rather
lengthy but 1t may be useful to our
apple growers and should be cut out
and pasted in a scrap book for future
reference-a book every grower should
keep.-A. G.. Newton in Grand juno

to confer with the representatives
there on this matter.
Another important matter taken up
at last nights meeting was the report
of VIM. Rathnell, secretary of the
Ouray Commercial club. who has just
returned from the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. While there Mr.. Rath-
nell conferred with officials of the
Wylie Camp company regarding the
establishment OF permanent tourist
camps between Ouray and Silverton.
His report was favorable and was
unanimously adopted. Mine officials
who visited this section a short time
ago reported favorably upon estab
fishing the camps. Mr.. Miles, general
manager of the wylie company. and
other high officials will visit Ouray
on September % and look over the
ground. This is a famous company
with 81 years of service to tourists.
and in the event that camps are es-
tablished 1t is believed that between
10000 and 10000 tourists win be at
tracted to this section annually.

The two were still closeted when 6
second visitor called and was told that
his eXcellency could not be disturbed
The second visitor, however, was so in
sistent that the secretary finally con
sented to take in the card. After q
glance at it his chief ordered admis
sion.
The door opened and Captain Cal
lomb entered.
He was now in civilian clothes
with portentous news written on his
face. He paused in annoyance at the
sight of a second figure standing with
back turned at the window. Then
Samson wheeled and the two men rec
ognized each other. They had met be
fore only when one was in olive drab
the other in jeans and butternut. Al
recognition Callomb's face fell and
grew troubled.
You here, South" he exclaimed
Il thought you promised me that ]
shouldn't find you. God knows 1 didn't
want to meet you"
Nor you," Samson spoke slowly.
Il supposed you'd be raking the hills. "
Neither of them was for the moment
paying the least attention to the gov
ernor, who stood quietly looking on.

explained Callomb, impatiently. 81

was too late God knows, South,
wouldn't have had this meet
ing occur for anything under heaven.
1t leaves me no choice. You are
indicted on two counts, each charg-
ing you with murder" The officer took
a step toward the center of the room.
His face was weary, and his eyes wore
the deep disgust and fatigue that come
from the necessity of performing a
hard duty.
You are under arrest" he added
quietly, but his composure broke as he
etormed. Now, by God, I've got to
take you back and let them murder
you, and you're the man who might
have been useful to the state"

public racks, and tethered them to
back fences and willow branches in
the shelter of the river banks, where
stray bullets would not find them.
The dawn that morning had still
been gray when Samson South and
Captain Callomb had passed the Mil
ler cabin. Callomb had ridden slowly
on around the turn Of the road, and
waited a quarter of mile away. He
was to command the militia that day.

CHAPTER XVI.

The governor had been more infiu-
enced by watching the two as they
talked than by what he had heard.
ut seems to me, gentleman" he sug-
gested quietly, "that you are both over
looking my presence" He turned to
Callomb.
"Your coming Sid, unless 1t was pre-
arranged between the two of you
(Which, since know you, know was
not the case) has shed more light on
this matter than the testimony of a
dozen witnesses. After all, I'm still
the governor"
The militiaman seemed to have for
gotten the existence of his distin-
guished kinsman, and, at the voice, his
eyes came away from the face of the
man he had not wanted to capture, and
he shook his head.
you are merely the head of the ex-
ecutive branch" he said. You are as
helpless here as l am. Neither of us
can interfere with the judicial gentry,
though we may know that they stink
to high heaven with the stencil Of
blood. After conviction, you can
pardon, but a pardon won't help the
dead. l don't see that you can do
much of anything, Crit"
Il don't know yet what can do, but
{ can tell you Pm going to do some
thing" SAID the governor. You can

.ime, ! believe / am commander-in-
chief of the state troops"
And / am captain of F. company.
but all ! can do is to obey the orders

"As your superior officer" smiled
the governor, 81 can give you orders.
I'm going to give you one now. Mr..
South has applied to me for pardon
in advance of trial. Technically, / have
the power to grant that request. Moral
ly, doubt my right Certainly, shall
not do it without a very thorough sift-
ing of evidence and grave considera-
ton of the necessities of the case
as well as the danger of the precedent
However am considering it, and for
the present you will parole your pris-
oner in my custody. Mr.. South, you
will not leave Frankfort without my
permission. You will take every pre-
caution to conceal your actual identity.
You will treat as utterly confidential
all that has transpired here-and,
above all. you will not let newspaper
men discover you. Those are my or
ders. Report here tomorrow after
noon, and remember that you are my
prisoner"
Samson bowed and left the two cou-
sins together, where shortly they were
joined by the attorney general. That
evening, the three dined at the execu-
tive mansion, and sat until midnight
in the governors private office, still
deep in discussion. During the long
session, Callomb opened the bulky vol
ume of the Kentucky statutes, and laid
his finger on section 2673.
There's the RIB, he protested, read
ing aloud: 1.-The military shall be at
all times. and in all cases, in strict
subordination to the civil power"
The governor glanced down to the
next paragraph and read in part:
The governor may direct the COM
manding officer of the military force

named officers of the district in which

made a poor fight, his first in many
months, against MiIburn SaylOr at
Boston. The HOosier person had
defense that baffled White, and his
methods Of attack also caused some
anxiety to the Chicago man, who, on
several occasions, was forced to
cover up.
SayIof's system of delivering blows
was something new to White. He
tented like lightning and the Chi
cagoan could never tell which mitt
was coming toward him. Saylor also
refused to set himself, but remained
a moving target That made it diff
cult for White to stick in his damag-
ing left. He did put it over once in
the sixth, sending Saylor to his knees,
At the conclusion Of the 18th
round Referee Roche declared the
mill a draw. which did not please the
crowd. It yelled for Saylor, despite
the fact that White had been the IA
vorite at the start Of he battle.

saye it was a poor decision. But Nate
claims White won easily.
