Can You Beat It?

It would do your eyes good perhaps your stamach too-if you would just walk down to Mir. Henry c. Ov erson's orchard and take look at..a Starks early gold plum tree that he has there. In all our long life time we have never seen anything to compare with it, in the fruit line, for pro- ductiveness. The tree is not a large one but it is loaded from Bottom to top", with luscious plums.
 One little twig two inches long had nine nice large plums cling ing to it. A two foot branch was measured and after counting the plums in that space the sum was Il, and they are not small plums either for they are nearly as large as hen eggs.
 The two branches were not any more productive than the whole of the tree for it is literally cov- cred with plums and makes one think more of a grape vine thana tree only that the fruit is so much larger.
 The fruit is sweet and juicy and makes excellent jam.
 We rather think that the peo- pie of Apache County would do well to get other trees like this one.
 Mir. Overson says that it is pretty sure to bear each year. He has sold about 200 lbs at 1Oc. per lb. and it can not be seen that any has been picked.

Under date of August l, Sheriff E.. w. Grimes received the following tele- gram from Thos. A. Flynn, United States district attorney:

Please publish this and ask assistance of all officers and citizens of your county"

 Fifty slackers, including the Molok- ans, are now being held in Phoenix for trial next week.
