FORTUNES IN ORCHARDS.
FrultQrowtr't Opinion of Hood Rivtr
Apple Land.
Hood Rivtr Tht prices now made
public by Independent buyert lor Hood
River Newtown and Hpitxenberg apples
have ctnted rpple grower to do some
figuring. A wall known apple man,
who it an authority on tbit subject, In
lacking about the matter, aaid:
"At th prire this year for tha dif
ferent site ol Kpitienberge, wblcb were
3, 2.76, 12 60 and 12 26 Pr box,
grower obtained an average price ol
12.40. Placing th yield ol 7 year-old
Bpltienberg treea , planted 65 tree to
th acre, at five boie to tb trt, we
will gat 365 boxes to th acre. A 20-
acre orchard on this basis will produce
8,600 boies, which, at the average
price ol $2 40, give us f 16,000 lor our
season' work.
"The prices for Kewtownt to far an
nounced are 1 2 25, 2 and 11.76 per
box. Tbii give ui in average of 1 2
per box. But tbe Newtown It more pro
lific than tbe Hpitxenberg, and produce
seven boxes to tba tree instead of five,
giving us 65 boxea to the acre, or 9,100
boxes for a 20 acre orchard. At can
eatily be teen, tha earningi on a 20
acre Newtown orchard thit year at
ibeee pricet will be $18,200.
"Wbil the figures ara large, tbey
are bated on the yield of comparatively
yoorg tree which bavt not yet reached
ibeir full bearirg maturity. A full
bearing orchard can be safely depended
on, I think, to produce 600 boxes of
applet to tbe acre, at 1 know of several
in tba valley that now do it. Figuring
on a basis with trees in full maturity,
and with a large proportion of the crop
composing the larger sites, as It doe
tbit year, it it not very difficult to de
termine tlu promt ol Ibe appie oust
nets in tbe future."
Beet Harvester Needed.

ers are anxlout (or a good rain as tbe
present drouth will render tb digging
low and nnutliiactory. 10 get turn
cient help at tha present time ii a
grav problem and lively buttling In
that line it being done. Tbe yield It
io heavy that a much larger force than
usual will be required to handle th
crop. It 1 predicted that nnleas
more help Can be procured than the
nresent outlook justifies, many ton ol
beet will remain in tba ground for the
want ol harveatere.

Sevastopol, Sept. 6. In answer to
tb publication of a notice Irom tb
terrorist that a sentence ol death bad
been impo d on Colonel Dumbadae,
commander of a rifle regiment here,
tbe officers ol that corps in an open let
ter have announced that in case of an
attack on tbe colonel they will exact
vengeance on the leader of the progres
sive parties.
Admiral bk rye' Ion, commander ol
th Black sea fleet, and tbe military
commander beie are very apprehensive
regarding the attitude of the sailors cf
tba Beet and tbe garrison oi tne tort-
t. Tbe cruise of tha training squad
ron as well at the regular fleet maneu
ver have been postponed, tne snips
scarcely venturing beyond tbe rang of
tbe guni of tb fortress.
Tb military patrols ol tbe city bavt
been withdrawn inside tbe walls ol
tb (ort, due, it 1 taid, to the fear that
the soldiers will be corrupted by con
tact with th masses.
Th merchauta of this city have prac
tically been thrown on their own re
sources in the matter ol protection
Irom lawlessness. The governor, at a
recent meeting, adv'sed them to organ
ise their own guard, as soldiers could
no longer be spared for police duty and
tbe municipality is bankrupt.

ARMISTICE MET WITH DYNAMITE
Querrera Blow Up Railroad Bridges
and lasust Ultimatum Hopea
of Peace Now Gone.
Havana, Sept. 8. All peace over
ture ar blocked by tbe refusal of Pino
Guerrera, th insurgent leader n Pinar
del Rio province, to enter into any ar
rangement for an armistice, Guerrera't
antwer to tbe government'i announce
ment of it agreement to grant a ten
dayt' armistice is tb blowing up of
two bridges on tb Weetern railway,
cutting railway communication beyond
Pinar del Bio city, and an attack on
San Juan de Martinet.
It ia aaid here tonight that Ban Juan
d Martinet it in th bands of tb In
surgents, and tbat tbe garrison, consist
ing of 100 government recruits and a
small force of mounted rural guard,
had been defeated or captured.
Tb fact that other leaden of the in
surgent force ara willing to agree to an
armistice can have little effect so long
aa Guerrera it determined to prosecute
tb war, and there ia slight doubt in
any Quarter that Guerrera can control
the situation in bis own region. Hi
lore i reported by all those who have
visited bim recently aa ranging irom
3.000 to 4,000 men, al) of them well
mounted and some ol tbem well and
oUiert indifferently armed. The gov
ernment force opposed to bim, which ia
under command of Colonel Avaloe,
comprises about 1,000 men. It wa re
inforced at 7 o'clock this evening by
Lieutenant Colonel Clews with 1,260
men and three machine guns from Ha
vana. Colonel Avaloe' force, with tbe
exception of small detachment left at
Ban Juan de Marline i and ban Luis, is
at Pinar del Rio city, but it without
meant of transportation to go to tbe re
lief of Ban Juan de Martinea. Not
mora than 400 of them are mounted.
General Henocal aaid today tbat
Guerrera evidently had not been in
formed tbat the government bad actu
ally, although informally, granted an
armistice, adding tbat a second commit
tee bad been wnt to bim, but could not
reach him before tomorrow. Tbe (act
I, however, that Guerrera refuse
point blank to accept an armistice ex
cept on condition that the last presi
dential and congreeaional election shall
be annulled. Tbat the government
should content to tbit ii out of the
question, and tonight prospects point
to a continuance of tbe war.

PINCHOT ON FORE8T RESERVES
Chitf Forattar Explain to Irrigation
lata Government' Schema.
Boise, Sept. 4. Th policy of wltb-
drawing vast area of tb public domain
from entry under th land laws In order
to create forest reserves or com errs th
water aupply for purpose of Irrigation,
wbicb baa been vigoroualy opposed by
influential interest in th Wait, bad
it deienderi and opponent at tonight'
session of th National Irrigation con
gress.
United Btate Senator Carter, of
Montana, the presiding officer, gav a
brief outline of th legislation enacted
by eongree giving to tbe president of
tbe United Btate th extraordinary
authority to exerciae bia discretion in
setting apart inch reservation. He
made tb declaration tbat it could b
let down at tb definite purpose of the)
national congress not only to (top fur
ther destruction of tha forests, but to
set aaid reeervee'on wbicb new timber
may grow and where tbe headwater of
th streams may be conferred.
Mr. Pinehot (tated that tha policy of .
President kooseveit waa "to give every
part of tb public land their very beat
use." Tb problem be laid, wa ona
of th most difficult, and on in which
the foreet service "bad made lota of
mistake." Probably it would contin
ue to make mistakes, ba aaid, but tba
effort waa to study, in connection with
tbe people, tb queetion of method by
which all parte of tha public reeerve
can be pnt to the beat nae. Thee re
serves to a certain extent control th
stock business of tbe West, ba aaid, for
tha chief summer rang ia in tb re
serve. Tbe stockmen could not be
kept off entirely at tbe demand of tha
irrigationiata, nor could tb senrlce
let tbem bave free run of th reeerve.
"So you ee," laid Mr. Pinehot,
"tbat tbe forester it audi in the middle
and be get it coming and going."
The speaker stated that aome reeerve
were practically without tree and on
in Kansas wa without a single tree
fact which bad been the (object of
much criticism but it waa the porpoea
to put treea there and to restore th
grata on the range. Tba service, he
aid, had the biggest job of tree plant
ing on tbe face of tbe earth.
Mr. Pincbot gave tbe number ol
ranger in tha service aa 1,137 and the
supervisors at numbering luo. under
tbe lawt of Prussia, ha aaid, tha earn
reserves would be controlled by 110,000
ranger and 12,000 supervisors.
Senator Heyburn waa called to tba
platform and immediately launched in
to a bitter attack on tbe administra
tion' forestry policy. Some of tha
delegate were with Heyburn; a far
larger element stood by Kooseveit and
Pincho. Once, when Heyburu mad
particularly onjust criticism of th
president, be was hissed from all parta
of tbe convention hall and forced to
suspend.
When the hiseing began to subsid,
Heyburn, mad through and through.
and waving his arms furiously, roared
at tbe audience:
"Hiss, you geese, hiss."
The hitting wat renewed, and whan
it had again inbtided, Heyburn
shouted:
"Don't try that on ma, I am too old
a stager to be scared. You will listen
to what say."
REVOLUTION CONTINUES.
Two Thirda of People Said to Sym
pathize With Insurgents.
Havana. Bept. 6. Aa dayt and week
pas with no appreciable diminution of
the revolution, apprehension lncreasss.
The most conservative teetimnny from
tb country district of th province of -Pinar
del Rio, Havana and Santa Clara
is to the effect that two-thirds of tha
people in the country and small towns
of these three provinces ara insurgent
in sentiment if not in fact. It ia gen
erally believed that tha government ul
timately will subdue tbe insurrection.
but in tbe meantime the crops cannot
be developed, and it la a grave queetion
whether tbe rebellion tpirit even then
can be actually quelled to tbe extent of
restoring tha country to a normal aeii
governing status.
A realisation oi tbit it toe causa oi
tha renewal of effort for th restora
tion of peace. General Mario Menocal,
whom the people trust at on capable
of bringing tha warring faction to
gether, if inch a thing it possible, cam
to Havana today and held two comer-
encea with President Palma. General
Menocal after the conference bsolutely
refuted to make any statement.
