•GREENFIELD'S FACTORIES.
The citizens of Greenfield have labored hard to locate factories in this city. Many schemes have been devised to raise money to be donated to persons establishing" factories in this city. Many thousands of dollars were raised tor glass, bottle, nail, stove and straw.board factories, practically all of which are now only memories of the past.
Factories are good institutions for a city. They help its busimess in every way. It is to be -regretted that Greenfield has! not retained her factories. She would present quite a different aspect from a business standpoint now if they were all here in full blast, but they are g"one and "there is no use to cry over spilled milk."'
Greenfield has a few industries left in the way of factories, and the surprising feature about them is that they are the ones, which never in any way asked! for a dollar of bonus.
There is a factory in Greenfield today which has grown in capacity and out-put ever since it started^ It has been a profit-

IMPRESSIONS OF THE WEST
...^(Continued from Page 1)
acre orchards that could not be bought for that price. A little farther down the river is the town of Hotchkiss. This is also a fruit country. J. Gilleth from near this place shipped 89,258 worth of apples from 16 acres in 1905. Wm Duke has 3i acres set to Elbrta peaches which has paid him §1,343.40 per year. This counts the year in which the trees were set and the next as well, when of course no fruit could be had. The trees are now 7 years old. The above are gross results. The one given below shows a net result. This is the case of a woman who was left a widow five years ago with an inheirtance of nine acres, a 83500 mortgage, and six daughters. The nine acres had been set to peaches. The mortgage has been paid off, the girls educated and the widow:s bank account is such thatthe whole family spent last winter in California. Judge Welsh of Delta, Colorada, the attorney for this woman is my authority for this.^
I could recount many-more yeilds equal to the above, but it is safe to say that the average value of an orchard of well selected trees and of a good bearing ages is not less than 81000 per acre.
The Surface creek valley, where our people live, is a newer settlement, some good government land having been taken up within the past year. There are a few orchards here of sufficient age to show that this valley is the equal of the Paonia district. A Mr. Caldwell sold §7,000 worth of fruit in 1904 and 1905 from 7 acres of Ben Davis apple trees. The trees are now 10 years old. 82,200 worth of apples were sold off of 10 acres of 7 year old trees in 1904 by a Mr. Stoltz. It will be seen from the above stated cases that trees fruit much younger in this Colorado county than in Indi ana take the 'Wm. Duke illustration above mentioned for a sample of early fruiting of peaches, and the Stoltz illustration for apples. Raw land in this valley can be had for a nominal sum, §30 to $50 per acre and the water-right for same will cost possibly $20 per acre.
Along the Gunnison river large quantities of sugar beets are grown. An average crop is about 15 tons per acre and the price $5 per ton. The sugar beet industry is a very considerable factor in the farm output of Delta and Mesa counties. The hand labor, such as thinning, weeding, topping etc., cost $20 per acre which leaves the farmer about $55 per acre net for his crop. Wheat does well, making 30 to 50 bus. I heard of one acre that made 81 bus., but this was an exception.
Alfalfa is a good crop. A Mr. Zanneth in five years sold $18,000 worth of alfalfa hay from 120 acres, k'4 '4^'^
This land is all irrigated. The Surface Creek valley has a chain of lakes and reservoirs on the mountain, 252 in number. The water from these lakes is turned into Surface Creek by the water commissioners, and from the creek into the various irrigating ditches. One must own stock in some lake or reservoir system before he can get water, except during the flood water season. In other words, you cannot take water out of the creek till you have first put it in. The water is measured with practically the same care as we would weigh a ton of coal. One's water stock entitles him to a given number of feet of water. A foot of water is a stream that runs 44 cubic inches per second for 24 hours.
Much of this land is veryi
rocky. The work of clearing is heavier than to clear in a wooded country. On most tracts of land are deep draws, into which the rock is thrown. Much blasting is necessary in some places. Our folks, however, are lucky in this regard. While you can walk on rocK most anywhere, yet they are not so large as to require blasting. A few tracts are comparatively free from rock. The rocky land is not what might be termed "a tough proposition,"' for be it remembered one does not need a large farm if he is a fruit grower, 10 to 20 acre fruit ranches being the best paying propositions.
From the report of the horticultural inspector of Delta county I learn that 343,722 fruit trees were planted in the county in 1904, and 517,100 in 1905. The estimated output ofeairuit trees in this county for" this spring is 600,000 trees.

AN AUSTRIAN CUSTOM.
How the Curions !T,aw About Closing Bonse* at Night Operates. One of the oddest of the Austrian customs is the result, of legislation. According to law, every house must be closed from 10 o'clock at night until 0 o'clock the following morning. During that time each house is in charge of an attendant known as the "hausbesorger," or caretaker. In large apartment buildings this liausbesorger is usually a uniformed porter. livery person entering the house between 10 at night and in the morning must pay to the liausbesorger 1:0 hellers (-1 cents).
This gives, rise to a curious condition. Naturally the man who comes home at early hours need not necessarily pay anything, while the man who habitually gets in at 11 or 3 in the morning is a frequent contributor to the hausbesorger's bank account. Inquiry of the hausbesorger concerning Mr. A may result in the startling information that he is a oast disreputable, mean sort of man, while Ihe nighthawk Mr. will undoubtedly be lauded as a splendid fellow of excellent reputation. As a conservator of the public morals, therefore, the liausbesorger can barely be called a success.—Outlook.
The Monnter Diplodocmi. Dr. Andrew Wilson speaks of that huge extinct reptile, the diplodocus, whose bones Andrew Carnegie present ed to the South Kensington museum in London as a "dragon." "If we could imagine it restored," says Dr. VVilson "we should be tempted to imagine that the dragon legends of old had some foundation in fact. As a rule, these creatures—dinosaurs, as they are called -were huge, bulky animals. Mr. Car negie's specimen has been estimated to have possessed a length in life of about seventy feet. The diplodocus, with regard to its personal characteristics, appears to have possessed a head of very moderate size indeed, considered relatively to the animal's bulk. Its jaws are weak, and its teetli are borne by the front of the jaws only. That it fed on soft vegetable matter would therefore appear to be a# inference fairly warranted by the facts, yet. iike the vegetarian elephant, it may have been capable of lierce onslaughts enough in its day. To feed on plants is not always commensurate with mildness of temper, as every vicious horse testiiies. We may further believe that the diplodocus, if not a swimmer, at least had aquatic habits.
.Vikiug Courage.
Whether on the high field or below the roaring foss or in the wild fishing ilfe which is common to the Norwe-1 gians along 2,000 miles of rock bound coast you cannot fail to mark the extraordinary coolness of the Norwegian in the moment of peril, his marvelous indifference to exposure, toil and physical pain. He is the strong man. Born of a hardy race, bred in air so keen and pure, he is physically powerful both bj Inheritance and habit. What the chance visitor might mistake for stolidity experience shows is unruffled patience and an unquenchable perseverance. A liberal education in the heroic legends o,f his forefathers from befor« the memory of man has endowed him with soul to endeavor, and deep down in this sonl, quite Ineradicable, you will find a whole love for his country and a whole faith in her future.—London Express.
