I World's Fruit Basket.
Methods and Profits in
Orchards of the Northwest.
Writing in Collier's on "The
"World's Fruit Basket." Richard Floyo
Jones tells of the growth and romance
of fruit farming in the West. Mr.
Jones says that "though Marcus Whitman
had driven his gospe! wagon into
Oregon at the time Fremont set out
to blaze the continental trail that resulted
in the conquest of California
in 184 6, the real acquisition of our
Pacific Coast came when the Luelling
hrnthprs with nairiotic heroism, car
I Tied their apple trees in Oregon in
184 7, and the Argonauts trailed their
picks and pans over the continent's
rocky spine in the memorable year of
'49." The Luellings were sons ot a
Welsh Quaker planter and slaveholder
in the Carolinas, who through
force of conviction moved his family
and negroes to Indiana, where he liberated
his slaves and hired their labor
for fixed wages. The sons became interested
in fruit nurseries and drifted
across the three "I" States, leaving
orchards behind them in Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa, finally reaching Oregon
and the Willamette Valley. Mr.
Jones continues:
The advocates of a separate Pacific
republic, who were won over on grounds
of rational sentiment by Starr King
and his lieutenants, were bound to
the Eastern States by strong ribbons
of steel in the early days of Grant's
administration. And in 1883 the railroad
to Portland went through, and
soon followed the Northern Pacific to
Tacoma. This opened the market.
Before this time Florida was our or?

ury. California soon delivered an
Abundance, and oranges became a
common, though not an inexpensive
- fruit. Before this time Michigan and
Wisconsin were regarded as good apple
States in the Central West, and
Nova Scotia and New York apples
were placed on the tables of the
elite. The railroads soon put all
these apples in the pie pan.
The world got a good taste of Pa?ific
fruit. The departments of Agriculture
and the Interior at Washington
sent special agents West to be escorted
by Mr. Smith over these wonderful
budding fruit lands. Hood
River became the University of the
Apple, ctllU tU ito uc an uciiuauj,
France, Russia, Argentina, China and
Japan sent special students to be totored
in the fine arts of apple growing.
Eastern produce merchants sent
buyers West. The Niagara orchardists
were puzzled that a bushel box of
apples, hauled more than 3000 miles,
Bhould bring a better price than a
barrel of apples raised at home. The
large, luxurious, costly crated cherries
from the Dalles of the Columbia
sold when the basket cherries of the
East went to waste. The peaches and
plums and grapes that came out of
i this wonderland induced many a
Michigan and Delaware grower to
correspond with land agents a continent's
width away. And California
gave us orange crops that were constant
and abundant.
Of the chances for a poor man in
"Washington and Oregon Mr. Jones
says:
Success here, as everywhere, depends
upon the man. not upon his
money. The man who rents land
among the fruit fields is welcomed
and assisted the first year, and perhaps
the second. The third he is toerated,
the fourth sees his credit fall,
miu Luc ii 1 in cuuiiis uliii as> a iaiiuic.
Good, unbroken fruit land can be purchased,
according to location, from
$50 to $100 an acre. This can be
. bought for half cash and half credit.
If the man is poor'he can clear it himself,
and five acres ought, in the
course of six years, to return him
from $2000 to $3000 a year. If he
can acquire ten acres, so much the
beiter. From the first year he can
do better than $200 an acre with
strawberries and gardentruck planted
between his trees. If one has money
enough to buy hip land, pay for its
clearing and planting, a little constant
and intelligently directed work
will accomplish great results. The
superintendent of schools at Dayton,
Wash., planted his savings in orchards
until he had 100 acres in perfect,
mature trees. He was not a horticulturist.
but his supervision of this
large orchard was his recreation. He
now nets annually over $50,000. A
Tacoma society woman indulged herself
in a sixteen-acre orchard at Ellensburg.
She soon found herself
harvesting more than 7500 boxes of
apples a year, which sell for about
517,000. There are many in the Yakima
and Hood River valleys that do
even better than this, but the average
will not run as h.yjb. If an orchard
is intelligently and skilfully handled
It ought to yield from $700 to $900
an acre, and if the earning falls below
an average of $400 to the acre
there is probably something serious
the matter.
The railroads that have brought
San Francisco nearer to New York
than Boston was to Philadelphia a
century ago have been the cementing
agents of our national life, says Mr.
Jones. The economic and political issues
of Providence and Pittsburg are
those also of Seattle and Spokane.
'We are a homogenous people. The
scenes along the Willamette in Oregon
and the shadowy St. Joe in Idaho
are strikingly like much of Wisconsin
and Massachusetts, except that there
are the great backgrounds of lofty
pines and snowcapped mountains that
the East does not possess. So with
the people. They cannot escape the
impress of their environment. They
ere less cultivated than the East, but
better educated. They have largeness
of conception, boldness of action,
lack of provincialism and a venturesome
spirit. The writer adds:
The Pacific fruit growers are beginning
to work collectively. Legislatures
may make it a felony to ship a
wormy apple across the State line?
who in New York or London is going
to prosecute? But the buyer of the
worm doesn't go back to that kind of
a bos again. The reputation of a
whole valley can be killed through
the carelessness or trickery of one
dishonest shipper. The Kentucky slogan,
"United we stand, divided we
ac|V
fall," Is becoming a commercial con- {
viction in the West. An honest and !
attractive package is the best agent !
in any trade. It was this truth that
inspired the fruit growers of Wenat- I
chee, Missoula, the towns of the Ya- 1
kima Valley, Hood River and others j
to organize their fruit growers into i
! cnions. The apples no longer went j
forth under the meaningless names j
I of Ben Brown or John Jones, but i
: with the guarantee of a great and j
wealthy valley. No grower was al- j
lowed to pack his own apples. The J
associations did it, and' did it. with j
conscientious care. "Find a bad ap- j
pie and we'll give you the car," was ;
their confident assertion. Eastern ;
traders discovered that there was a j
valley standard. It was no longer .
necessary to send buyers West. They
could order the standard products by :
wire. Ben Brown and John Jones
discovered that the surest way to sell I
their fruits at the highest prices was
to standardize and get the valley j
'stamp on their box. But the union j
idea did not stop here. The associa- t
tions set o$t to educate their mem- j
bers along the line of their occupa- ;
tion. The unions make liberal use of '
the telegraph wires, and so make a ,
more intelligent distribution of wares
than an individual could do. They
set out to discover new markets. They j
it-- 1 IJ-i * ~ V I
married ine urcuaruisi iu mc uw wcultural
schools of the State agricul- j
tural colleges and made of a trade a i
scientific profession. They taught !
caution and conservation. They i
showed that, though apple trees may i
live 150 years, and though their val- |
ley lands were richer than the Asiatic 1
province of Shansi that has been j
farmed for forty centuries, the orig- j
inal orchards of the Luellings had j
gone into decay through carelessness
and neglect even in the virgin rich- I
ness of the bank of tlie Willamette. I
But the fruit growers' unions are do- |
ing most as a school of applied ethics. :
They erase jealousies and suspicion j
and establish a trust and appreciation j ar
of neighbors and a spirit of fraternal- ' of
I ism and patriotism. ! ai

J SHE MANICURES AND BEAUT!- |'
S FIES TOWNS. :
r
e?O6MOaeO0MMMta0(MO9? 80
In the past few years the passion I pa
for the "town beautiful" has become ! re
a national ideal. City councils have ; su
taken up the work, philanthropists j sla
have contributed fortunes, and civic j ?
associations have put their shoulders 1
to the wheel. That everyone knows;
but what scarcely anyone knows it i
that the movement began in the brain
of a quiet, unassuming woman in i
Springfield, Ohio, says Hampton's j
Magazine.
Miss Jessie M. Good was an as- '
sistant in the Springfield library, and
had been for sixteen years. One day, |
in an interval of her work, she hap- ,
pened to pick up a magazine and read j
therein of how the village or btocK- |
bridge, Mass., in order to attract sum- 1
mer tourists, had formed a local im- j
provement society to clean the town. |
That was her inspiration, as narrated j
with a wealth of interesting detail in !
Hampton's. Clean the town! Why j
should not all towns be clean? Why j ^
were dusty streets, littered sidewalks, j ^
disfiguring vacant lots, treeless high- j
ways and unsightly back yards neces- ;
sary? Why should not every town ;
have parks and public gardens?
Miss Good told her plan to the ed- > He
itor of a floriculture magazine pub- ,
lishea in Springfield, and wrote an ?
article about it for him. The idea i inj
spread, letters came in shoals, and j cei
Miss Good and Mr. D. J. Thomas, the j ws
editor, calling a convention of those ; cei
interested, formed the American j
League of Civic Improvement. That ! th
was in July, 1901. A year later, at j a
a meeting in BufTalo, N. Y., the ho
American Park and Outdoor Art As- i ?
sociation merged with the league under
the title of the American Civic j
Association, which now embraces j
every State in the Union.
Miss Good, who was born in Johnstown,
Pa., is still a resident of Springfield,
where she has built up a large
business in the sale of plants, seeds
and flowers.
A Ventriloquist.
Probably every one has seen a j
time when he wished he could administer
rebuke impersonally. The !
Springfield Republican pictures an occasion
when it was done.
The "grouchy" individual came j
from behind his paper and glared
savagely at the woman .wiih the crying
baby. "Why can't you keep that '
brat quiet?" he snarled. "What's :
the matter with it, anyway?"
There was a dead silence in the car, ;
and then a pitilessly distinct voice |
from nowhere in particular replied: |
"He thinks your face is the moon, i
and he's crying for it."
The surly one looked about with !
a deathly stare. Every one was quak- ;
ing with mirth, but preserved a sol- |
emn countenance except the man who j
was smiling out of the window at the |
other end of the car.
"There are advantages in being a j
ventriloquist," he murmured softly I
to himself.
That's All He Forgot.
The cab containing the absentminded
man and his family drew up
in front of the Grand Central Depot,
j There emerged the absent-minded:
man, his wife, three children, a bird trs
cage, a dog on a leash, and innumer- tri
able bundles and parcels. The ab- .
sent-minded man paid the driver, cii
gathered up the bundles, dropped thi
them and pressed his hand dramatic- ?
ally to his fevered brow.
"There!" he exclaimed. "I juci
knew I had forgotten something."
His wife carefully counted the chilpom

The discovery of humor in dumt
animals may sometimes owe a little
to the observer's imagination, but Mr
O'Shea, in his "Leaves From the Lift
of a Special Correspondent," seems tc
prove his case in an interview be
tween himself and a group of jollj
elephants.
"A young friend," he says, "askec
me to show him the elephants, so w?
went with an offering of oranges
which the lad was to carry. / But th(
moment we reached the stable dooi
the herd scented the fruit and set ui
such a trumpeting that the bo]
dropped the. fruit and ran like ?
scared rabbit."

turned and was about to begin th(

fleeted that if elephant number sever
saw him give elephfcnt number eighi
two oranges in succession, he mighl
fancy himself cheated iand give th<
distributor a smack with his proboscis;
so he returned to the door anc
began $t the other end of the line
as before.
Three times he went down the line
and then he had one orange left
Every elephant had his greedy gaz<

have been as much as a man's life -was
worth to give it to any one of them
What was he to do? He held it ur
conspicuously, coolly peeled it and
ate it himself.
"It was most amusing" he says, "tc
notice the way those elphants nudged
each other and shook their ponderous
sides. They thoroughly entered ii 'tc
the humor of the thing."

coffee drinking and was on the poini
of giving up my position in the echooi
room because of nervousness.
"I was telling a friend about it anc
she said, 'We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such z
comfort to have something we can enjoy
drinking with the children.'
"1 was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind
of coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world foi
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a
fact.
"My first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes
and it tasted so flat that 1 was in despair,
but determined to give it one
more trial. This time we followed
the directions and boiled it fifteen
minutes after the bodling began. II
was a decided success and I was completely
won by its rich, delicious flavor.
In a short time I noticed a de

and kept growing better and better
