The land can be bought for at from $2t) to $100 per acre, and five years from the time it is planted it will be worth more than five times as muchetaoi more than live times its cost, provid ing you plant the best varieties of apples and pears. A gold mine cannot make money for you as fast as planting an orch ard will, and besides a good gold mine is one of the scarcest things in the world to get hold of; while on the other hand an orchard is the easiest property to acquire. You buy the land and plant the trees and every dollar you expend will double Its value compounded every year for a dozen years to come. This is the surest way to make, money. This will bring you a big crop of money if you give it a chance. Get the Water Now. If the water users will now put their shoulders to the wheel with LOCAL ITEMS Read the Page fence ad in this issue.

Complain of Condition of 6th Street. One of our wideawake, thorough going farmers who lives on the south side of the river came to town on Tuesday and after driving through Sixth street from the bridge to the depot, said that he was now patronizing mall order houses and should continue to do so until Sixth street was paved. When asked why he had resolved to do this, he said he would not deal with a set of merchants who were content to do business on a street that is now and has been for years in a disgraceful condition. They can, he said, cause it to be paved, and without delay, but they lack energy to take the necessary steps. He went on to say that the Orange is taking up the matter and are putting themselves in shape to buy in carload lots. Sfie MAXWELL Capt. Atchison Resigns. Capt. Q. P.
