There is room in this country to
Plant hundreds of orchards. 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.

AVork Resumed on Bridge.
The steel bridge at the foot of
Sixth street is again under con
struction, after the mishap caused by
the flood. Two of the center piers
went out at that time and are still
lying In the river several hundred
yards below the bridge. The work
men have succeeded in placing
another pier in the center of the
stream and others will quickly fol
low. It Is to be hoped that no more
accidents will occur.
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.
