The Plattsmouth Daily News comes
to us "ensmalled" having discarded
its patent, which is a decided improv
ment. The News is a good local
paper, and shows editorial ability
of a high order. Nebraska Adver
tiser. Plenty ol Fruit
SPOKANE, Wash Officers of the
state horticultural association and
commercial organizations in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana
say in reports to the Spokane chamber
of commerce there is every inuicauon
that the fruit crop this year will be
the largest and most profitable in the
history of the four states. Private
advices from Growers in the province
of British Columbia are that the out-
ook is good for apples and other fruits.
There is not danger of a late freeze
ut should the unexpected happen
the owners of commercial tracts are
ready to do battle with hundreds of
thousands of smudge pots or orch
ard heaters. It is predicted that high
er prices will prevail as a result of the
heavy damage o the fruit crop in the
middle western states.
F. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner, says that growers in
Washington will produce twice as much
fruit this season as in 1908 the year of
the record crop. Including peaches,
apricots, cherries, berries and other
soft fruits the yield will be at least
doubled owing to the increased acreage
he adds, while the apple crop will
show an increase of about 5 per cent.
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British
Columbia will have equally large yields
us the result ol increased ucreage
and trees coming into bearing this
season.
With increased transportation fa
cilities and the steady influx of settler)
the early attempts in the valleys and
uplands have become more pretentious
sustained and systematic. Dry farm
ing is practised extensively and irri
gation plants have been established
by private individuals and corpora
tions, also by the United States gov
ernment, which is spending enormous
sums in reclaiming the volcanic wastes
so wonderfully rich and fertile and
so peculiarly adapted to raising fruits
unblemished and perfect in size am
color. More than 359,(M)0 acres ol
lands are devoted to orchards in the
four states and pomologists estimate
that the value of a full crop would un
doubtcdly equal $175,000,000.
Northwestern apples are in demand
in the eastern, middle western and
southern states and in Europe and
Australia and the markets nre being
extended year by year. American
and foreign experts, who have studied
conditions in the northwest, refer to
the Pacific Northwest as "the World'i
Fruit Basket." adding there has been
established in a comparitively short
time a domain where the first foot of
soil, properly cultivated, eventually
will be worth more than all the mines
from Alaska to Mexico and all the
forests from the United States boun
dary to the Artie sea.
As gold was the strong magnet whic
sent the first Americans across the un
known wastes of this continent to
the California coast in 1849, so today
the apple, the emperor of fruit,
attracting thousands to the western
orchard belts. Millions of dollars
have been invested in armle lam
west of the Rockies in the last decade
and beautiful orchards of yoittig tree
today mark the spots where but yes
tcrday was a waste of brown, sage
brush covered desert.
Romance never played Biich a part
in the world as in the fruit growing
districts of the Northwest today
There is the romance of development
of commerce and of life that liva
the stories of centuries ago, when new
empires were suddenly uncovered by
people who had never dreamed
their existence. Just as the mvsterv
and danger faded from the Far West
when once it was "discovered," so
has that vast stretch of territory come
into its own.
Reports from nurseries and growers
are that between 4,000,000 and 5,000,
000 one and two-year saplings will be
planted in the four states and province
before the close of 1910. This means
that more than 50,000 acres of land
will be added to the area already un
der cultivation, thus giving a total
of 400,000 acres in fruit in 0915.

MAKES CALLS
Continued from page 1.
entered the house. In a top drawer
of the dresser was a purse containing
a small sum of money and in a jewel
case were pieces of jewelry of consid
erable value. Looking these over he
took the money, which amounted to
about six dollars, and a ladies watch
From there he proceeded into the
other rooms of the second floor but
did not find anything that suited his
fancy. Returning to the front room
he crawled out of the window but
before leaving the premises he decided
not to keep the watch and deposited
on the window sill. He made his
get away safely and it was some time
before the burglary was noticed.
When it was discovered that a prowler
had paid the party a visit, excitement
reigned supreme and the ladies present
nearly had hysterics. A not call was
Bent out for the police and in a few
minutes Night Officer Trout arrived
on the scene with hve deputies.
here was little for them to do in try
ing to locate the thief but each deputy
was given the task of seeing that
certain of the guests were safely es
corted to their homes and the officers
all report it was an awful job. Every
home had to be entered by the officer
in charge every light in each home
turned on and every room carefully
inspected by the officer before the
frightened feminine oould be induced
to go in. There was many a rusty old
shot gun resurected and doors that
had not been bolted for years were
carefully locked and barred. It would
have taken a Kansas cyclone a half
lour to break into any of the resi
dences in the north part of town
after the report had been turned loose
that a real live burglar was around.
A night officer was stationed to
watch any suspicious actions that
might happen around a traveling com
pany that was in the city but nothing
startling was reported from the watch
man on guard, and no brilliant clues
developed from the Dovey residence.
While all the excitement was going on
in the Dovey neighborhood. Mr.
Raffles was busy trying his luck at
the Fred Gorder residence on North
Third street.
Miss Louise Gorder had retired at
a late hour and had left a large lamp
burning so that she could see to read
book. Dropping off. to sleep she
was sudenly awakened by a slight
noise in the room and saw a man
standing before her, bending over an
opened drawer on the dresser. Rub
bing her eyes to see ifvshc really was
awake he noticed her action in the
mirror of the dresser and turned to
ook at her. In the brig! it light
thrown full in his face by the lamp
which was burning at her side, she
recognized the man as one who had
been at their place but a few weeks
before. She was certain as to his iden
tity and as he passed to go out of the
room he went so close to the bed that
she could have touched him with her
outstretched hand. As he withdrew
he covered his face with his arm but
Miss Gorder cried out, "Oh. I know
you all right, you're the man that was
here nt our house the other day.
He made no reply but stopped in the
adjoining room for a. few seconds
Hearing someone descend the stairs
he raised the window, through whic
he had entered and slipped out of the
house, letting the window fall with
a loud crash.
The place was immediately examined
but nothing was found to be missing
and he could not have been in th
house more than ten minutes, He
had gained entrance through a low
window of a sitting room nnd as the
sash was raised, a stick which was used
to prop the window with, was heard
to drop on the floor by one of the oecu
pants in the room above, but thinking
nothing of it, she did not investigate
until the voices and footsteps were
heard a few minutes later. Foot
prints of a rather small shoe, having
a broad heel, were found in the soft
ground near the window and they may
serve as a slight clue to the authorities
who arc now at work on the case.
The description given by Miss Gor
der seems to tally exactly with that
given by the people who saw the man
on Sixth street. He was a young man
about five feet seven or eight, medium
build, wearing a gray suit and a light
gray hat.
The police have several clues on the
matter, but these are being kept to
themselves until further developments
appear. It is thought the work was
that of an amateur and also of a loca
man, for none of the jewelry was dis
turbed at either place and sma
amounts of money were carelessl
overlooked by the visitor. The work
at the last residence was done just as
the clock was striking twelve and that
seemed to bi the last apperaancc
of the individual although the occu
pants of a certain residence on North
Sixth became very fussed at that
hour and notified the authorities
that they thought a prowler was
around but upon the arrival of the of
ficers their fears wcro found groundless.

Gering Case Goes to Court.
The transcript of record in the mat
ter of application of Gering & Co.
for permit to sell malt spiritious
liquors in the city, was filed in dis
trict court today and the case wil
probably be brought before Judge
Travis for settlement at the first meet
ing of the court next week. The permit
was granted the company by the city
council but the prosecuting attorney
has entered the case in district court
on the grounds that they are not
egally entitled to a permit on account-
of violating a section of the Slocumb
law. The complaints that were looked
for from the assaults at the specin!
council meeting have not been filed
and it is not expected the matter wil
be revived.
Cigars Pleased Firemen.
The city firemen met in their regu
lar monthly meeting last night at the
council chamber and their customary
routine of business was gone through
iletorc the meeting had progressed
very far, it was turned into a smoker
by the arrival on the scene of a big
box of cigars presented to the boys
for their quick work lh preventing
serious conflagration at the rcdidence
of Frank Cummins a short time ago
The treat greatly pleased the fire boys
and they got busy with the weeds
until the atmosphere looked like they
might have been called to the place
for duty. Mr. Cummins, token
appreciation of the firemen was the
big hit of the evening and before tl
meeting was adjourned the boys un
animously gave him a vote of thanks
for his remembrance of them.
