A New Jersey police justice re
cently fined a young man 110 for
kissing his sweetheart in a public
' park, and a similar fine was col
lected from the young lady. Jersey-
justice is very particular.
The Commoner says: "The off;
spring of two rabbits in ten years
"may number 70,000,000." ' So they
might, but the offspring of two
failures in Presidential aspirations
"will never amount to the rotes "of
70,000,000 people. -

President Roosevelt is himself a
sufferer from strikes. He will be

who are preparing the material.

Washington is the place for
Grand Army reunions. It is the
city they protected, it is the city
they made, it is the city that em
bodies the idea ol a great, powerful
progressive, free country. Wash
ington belongs to the people at
large and the residents are glad to
receive their old defenders as
guests.

Agricultural display nt the fair,
as a typical exhibition of the fruit,
vegetables and. grain of Crook
county, the Fair certainly was us
comprehensive as could be made.
Highlands and lowland, with and
without irrigation, East, West,
North and South, from every sec
tion of this great country came the
farmer and horticulturist, bringing
the products of their labor. No
more will be heard the pessimist
saying, Owing to frost fruit, grain
and vegetables cannot be grown,
for we have seen, felt and tasted.
We saw apples weighing 18 ounces;
boxes of three peaches, 12 ounces,
prunes, i ounces, onions, 2 lbs,
potatoes, 2J lbs., carrots, 3 lbs.,
cabbage, 35 lbs., and other things
in proportion. The taste lold the
1 1 . .
same story nut more empnauc.
The writer has lived in every set-
tioiiof the " United States,' except
New England, bnt nowhere has he
found. fruiOo'flttVoreilv." Apples
prunes, plums, peaclies,- pears and
tomatoes, solid, firm, uniform in
texture, unci delicious; in flavor,
smooth and clean, with no work of
spray or worms. In other words,
absolutely perfect.' The exhibitors
all deserve special mention, as well
as prizes, but many of the best ex
hibits did not compete for prizes.
In fruit those competing for prizes
were: T. F. McAllister, low coun
try. C. W. Circle, middle upland
F. Slayton and Roscoe Knox,
upland. James Wood, Nellie Sum
mers, Prineville. R. W. Breese
upland, C. W. Circle took first
premium for apples and prunes.
E. F. Slayton, two prizes for apples.
Justice to Mr. McAllister, demands
that we state, he deliberately se
lected the only faulty upples he
could find in order he should be
certain not to get first premium on
general display. McAllister ex
hibited 8 varieties, whose circum
ference ranges from Hi inches to
103 inches; in addition loaches,
quinces, almonds, English walnuts,
urns, prunes and tomatoes 14j
inches in circumference. C. tt.
Circle exhibited 14 varieties of ap
ples, somewhat smaller, but equally
perfect. E. T. Slayton, 10 varitics
Harvey Powell, 7 varieties. New
ton Johnson, 4 varieties. B. F.
Allen, 3 varieties. Leo Lafollett,
7 varieties; special mention is nec
cessary for the Blue Pearmain, 11 i
inches in circumference. Chas.
Lister, 3 apples, 2 pears and
prunes. James Woods, 5 varieties.
Roscoe Knox, 5 varieties.
"These mountain land displays,
were, if possible, more interesting
than the lowland, in that although
the fruit is smaller it cannot be ex
celled in beauty of flavor. This
fact must be borne in mind always,
that but laziness and carelessness
need prevent any householder in 1
Crook county from having and en
joying his own grown fruit. Next
in importance commercially, was
the display of prunes and plums
McAllister, Circle, Hudson, llreese
Slayton, Wurzweiler and Lafollett
each exhibited from 1 to 7 varie
ties. McAllister and Wurzweile
tied 111 largest at yj inches in cir
enmference by 8 in the other, the
others slightly smaller. Circle
showed 'Jho finest Petito prunes,
Pears came, next in importance,
Space will forbid us giving an ac
tount of these in detail, sulhcu it
to say 15 plates were shown, with
10 varieties, ranging from 4 ok to
16 oz in weight. Only ono variety
of peach was exhibited. Had the
lair oecurcd six weeks earlier, or
had the peach growers been as en
ergetic as the apple grower, as gooe
a showing could have been made
(Snipes were wanting, not because
no grab's are grown in the county
but because each grower failed ti
bring them in. Cherries straw
Hemes and earlier fruits were
shown in jars so temptingly, the
remark of the small boy covers the
ground more fully than a column,
"Aint them bully."
We shall not attempt to do jus
tice to the vegetables. Only make
mention of onu grower, R. W.
Breese.' Wheat, 26 bushel to the
acre, oat, 60 bushel, barley, 60
bushel, on high ground without ir
riuation. This attracted no atten-
twn, because it is "only "ordinary
here, but to the prospective home
builder it means a comjietence
Potatoes weighing 4 llw and pro
ducing 400 bushels per acre, with
potatoes 1J cents per lb means too
mucti cattle in proportion to the
garden. Carrots that are too -large
to dig comfortably, Cabbage too
heavy for any little woman to lift,
Artichokes a peck to the vine or
bush. Corn sweet corn and pop
corn, that compares favorably with
Iowa. Hubbard squash and puni
kins, " too big for me, " was the
remark of a bright young house
wife. Last, the grasses. No alfalfa
was shown as an exhibit, nor
bunch grass, the two best grasses
in Crook county, but there was
Timothy, Blue-joint, Redtop and
Bronius, from 3 feet to 5 j feet long.
The showing here was only indi
cations of what can, and is being
grown in the county. We close
with the inscription on a bottle;
" (ireen Currants, put up 111 1M3
beforo jars were in use in Oregon,
by Mrs. A. E. Logan, proierty of
Mrs. B. F. Jones." .A wonderful
story to the young.
