This i one of the (incut bodie of land in tli county, and is supplied with 2000 inchea or more of water from the An plcgnto river. Its former owners found much profit in raining three croos of ulfulfa each year, and selling it at from fia to s.O a ton, but it bus now be come so profitable to raise fruit that threo hay crops do not produce suf llcinnt revenue to satisfy the fruit' miser. 'Ilio buyer and his aaeociates will take posaoaaion of the premise on the fimt day of January, end they will at that time nut on a large force of men to lay out the tract in an ideal iniuiner, with convenient avenues .run ning in every direction, in order to muke it tlie largeat tract of land do voted to fruit alone in Kogtte river valley.

Chicago, Sept 17. President Taft amiled hi way Into the heart of 600, 000 Chlcagoan yesterday. Geniality and "Bill" Taft-for that' what the multitude called him ruled the city for 16 hours. From the moment he ar rived antil he entered his private car to leave, through all the automobiling and speechifying and handshaking and excitement, there waa on thing which ahone aa brightly as the sun of a - per fect day. it was the famous smile. That smile waa commented upon every where. It waa cheered and it made those who saw it feel more pleased with the world and with themselves, Good humor, jollity, happiness these followed Mr. Taft like attendant guard ians wherever be went. And in response to that amile Mr. Taft got the amilea and laughter of the throngs, aa well aa their shouts and ap plause. All the way through tha 16 miles of street which be traveled dur ing the day in a motor, at the Weat Side ball park, at the Orchestra Hall meeting, at the bankera' ball, Mr. Taft aaw thouaanda upon thousands of face which smiled at him and which cheered him. "it s grand," said the chief execu tive before be had been in the city five minutes. "I'm really vastly glad to be here." Aa his automobile awept down Mich igan avenue in the midst of 160,000 school children, he turned to his aide- de camp, Captain Archibald W. Butt, U. S. A., and bia voice was just an atom husky. "This is wonderful, Butt," he aaid. Tba cheering of the children ia most pleasant to me, and vet affecting, for we know that the cheering of the child' ren ia sincere." At the great bankera' ball there were silks and whit abouldera and jewel; tnere was rythm or waits mu sic and glow of pendant lights; there waa dancing by blushing debutante and epigramatic foreign consuls; there waa promenading by prominent bank- era and dowager and beautiea and pol iticiane. And the chief individual fig ure or tne scene waa the big man in evening dreaa who amiled and amiled and amiled. Unqualifiedly President Taft ia in favor of union labor. Thia was the ubject of hi main speech today, and in plain terms he upheld organization. but demanded that the rights of non- onion labor be protected. Next to thia in national importance waa hi de nouncing the present court system. He deplored delays in the administration of justice and announced an intention to urge congrera to make a change. MONEY FOR WIDOW. Mrs. Harriman la Made Only Benefr ciary in Will. New York, Sept. 17.

Harriman, given out yesterday. make his widow, Mary Averill Harri man, one of the wealthiest women in the world. It pethapa is the briefest will on re cord for the disposal of an estate of auch magnitude. All hi property is left to Mrs. Harriman. Wall street estimates that Mr. Harriman will in herit in realty and personal property between $75,000,000 and $ 100,000,00a Mr. Harriman's private fortune ia sup posed to have been greater than thia by many millions, but there is reason to believe that his unmarried daugh ters, Mary and Carol; his married daughter, Mrs. Robert Livingstone Guerry; and his two sons, William Averill and Roland, a boy of 14. to gether with his surviving sister, Mrs. Simon, and other relatives, have all been substantially provided for with gifts out of hand. The will ia dated June 8, 1903, and witnessed by Charlea A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, who drew it, and C. C Tege- th.ff. Mr. feabody was Mr. Harri man's close personal friend. Mr. Harriman, by making no be quests to children or relatives, avoided the large share of the enormous inher itance tax which, under the lawa of the state of New York, would otherwise be imposed.
