A new company has been organized
in McGill that will be known as “The

of 74% gasoline, and 26 % watered
stock. Charles Mathews is president
of the company and G. W. Carr, sec
retary, treasurer and promoter.
"Shorty” Hicks, Is mnster mechanic
and A. L. Patch, is chauffeur. The
company’s assets on hand now: one
sage brush comedy wagon, which is
made up of the fo*.owing parts: two
pieces of angle iron, four pieces of
[Stovepipe Iron, fly wheels taken from
a sage mill, imed in olden times, tires
of the best Duck Creek India rub
ber, sprocket wheels from a pair of
triplet higu-e chain blocks,
^ cylinders composed of the “two
type,” one in all out. Her power is
equal at all times to foot power, both
coming and going. They have also
on hand one garage, better known as
the old Mathews & Barnes land mark.
They started out on their first trip
Friday morning. All members of the
I company were on hand and ready
for business. As the first drop of
the gasoline was turned into the
machine, an explosion was heard
for miles around and when the smoke
cleared away it was found that the
“two type” cylinder was a thing of
the past, and it was a case of "two
to start with and “all out.”
Now as their pet machine from
Duck Creek, had to be put into the
hands of the worthy master mechanic
of the New Sage Brush Comedy
Wagon Co., again for repairs, and as
Charles Mathews and G. W. Carr
stood by with tears in their eyes they
said to our own little “Shorty” Hicks
“Get busy and repair our machine as
we want to go to Spring Valley on
Sept. 15 next, duck hunting and the
machine must be ready.”
HOSI'.-AL NOTES.
Tom Cononelos, a brother of Lewis
Cononelos of the Grecian store, had
the misfortune to have his scalp
severely lacerated at the concentra
tor Thursday evening. He is doing
fine under the care of Dr. Abbot.
John Voyvodict, while cutting meat
at Austrian town, cut his left hand
very badly and has been taken care
of by Dr. Abbot, at his office since
Thursday evening.
A Greek suffering from a com
pound fracture of the arm, was sent
to the Steptoe hospital Thursday.
The X-Ray machine was used on him
at the hospital.
Dr. E. L. R. Wallace, chief of the
medical staff, now has a new X-Ray
machine in use at the hospital.
They are now using galvanic and
Faradic electricity at the hospital In
East Ely, and when tne nurses have
nothing else to do they can be seen
holding hands and seeing how much
electricity they can stand.
Mike Galich, while dumping a car
at the roaster had the end of his
finger taken off Saturday morning.
He is being treated at the emergency
hospital at McGill.
THE BACHELORS’ CLUB.
It seems as though we are about
la go into the hands of a receiver, as
we are loosing most all of our mem
bers; with only two exceptions, and
those are Wagner and Kenny. They
both remain true to the club and tney
have a good reason to.
At our last meeting, Brother H. A.
Stone, was absent, out riding with
one of our many beautiful young
ladies. Charles Holmes was also ab
sent. ne gave -is excuse that he
could not get all the burnt cork oft
his face in time to come to the meet
ing as he said he had a round or two
with one of our colored citizens,
which turned out to be one of our
leading white citizens, with a lot of
burnt cork on his face and before he
could discover his error, about half
came off on him, as he tried to make
his colored friend obey the law, but
could not, but vows he will “never
again” be a police officer on April 1.
Both of the above gentlemen will
have to be fined at our next meeting
or give better accounts of themselves.
It was decided at our last meeting
to give a play in the near future and
the cast of characters will be given
In our next issue, as we have so far
only a few volunteers. We have some
good actors, who are members of the
c.ub and we think we will have no
trouble in producing some good playa
with a lot of fine specialties in be
tween acts; one that will draw a good
crowd and give us a little money to
work on in the future.
All applications for membership,
were laid over for one week as only
a few members were present, aa
April 1st, was a very busy day for
most of the boys. Look out for the
big show boys. t>ne is going to be
a good one and some of the special
ties will be worth going miles to see.

is ready to mail. It will be sent to any person interested in
fruit-growing on receipt of 7 cents to cover postage. The
Stark Year Book for 1910 represents an entirely new idea in
nurserymen's literature—it is a work of art as well as a
catalogue of Stark Nursery products. Within its covers are 32 full-page illustrations
of fruits and flowers, representing 175 varieties, done in four colors, and exactly
reproducing nature. 84 pages are devoted to descriptions, prices, and records.
25% Discount to Mail Order Buyers
is allowed from prices quoted in The Year Book for direct, all-cash-with-order business. Salesmen
have been cut out—commissions formerly paid them is given to the planter—he can now have Stark
Trees—the highest standard of tree-quality at prices usually asked for inferior nursery stock.
We Pay Freight—Pack Free
and Guarantee Safe Arrival
In addition to giving 25t discount we prepay freight to any point in the United States on orders
amounting to $10.00 (net) or more. All orders are boxed and packed free (most nurserymen charge
extra for boxing and packing). We absolutely guarantee safe arrival, give liberal premiums and
assure every customer complete satisfaction.
$15 per box for Delicious
Ei*ht boxes ol Starh Delicious, el the Denver Netional Apple
Show, sold et SIS.00 per bos, while eoe box wes sold lor $25.00.
—J. W. Murphy, Glen wood, lows.
That is the world's record price for apples. All the news
papers reported it—it further opened the eye* of planter*
everywhere. Only surpassing quality—complete apple
supremacy could command such a price. Stark Delicious is
all that and more.
If you have not yet planted Delicious or if your planting*
of it have been small, make a big order for it this spring—
don't wait another season. It is the greatest profit-producer
in the whole list of apples—you simply can't afford not to
have it in your orchard.
Don't be deceived by unscrupulous nurserymen offering
you Delicious. There is but one Delicious and that is Stark
Delicious—owned, controled and sold *nly by ua.
Send your order early—our immense stock will be over
sold before the end of the season.
Black Ben Wins
Carload Premium
Black Ben won the $500.00 carload premium at the Denver
National Apple Show. Here’* a telegram:
At National Apple Show iuat closed five hundred dollar carload
premium waa awarded a car ot Black Ben apples frown on one
hundred sixty Stark Trees at Fruits, Colorado.
(Sifned) Dr. S. T. Green, President
Fruita Chamber of Commerce.
Have you Black Ben in your orchard? If not get it in this
spring—plant largely of it. Aa a commercial sort it is unsur
passed, a sure, regular producer of handsome profits. It sold
this year at the vVenatchee Wash., Fruit-Grower’s Ass'n
sale, at the same price as Jonathan—$2.00 per box, while Ben
Davis brought only $1.40, Gano $1.50 and Mo. Pippin $1.50.
You positively cannot make a mistake on Black Ben—plant
it largely—you'll never regret it. As a filler for Spitzenburg,
Newtown, Jonathan, Delicious, etc., it is excellent.
Our stock of Black Ben is immense—finer trees never grew.
Get your order in early.
From a commercial standpoint 1 fully and heartily recommeod
Delicious. Black Ben and Stayman Winesap as three of the finest
varieties for commercial orchard planting. The eating qualities of
Delicious and Stayman Winesap are superior to any other table
apple while Black Ben ia the apple for the masses. The keeping
Sualitiea of all three varieties are excellent. I came to the United
tates Land and Irrigation Exposition at the Coliseum, Chicago,
with the Wenatchee Commercial Club Exhibit and have told a
number of boxes of Stark Delicious at $10.00 per box. This, I think,
speaks well for them.—C. W. Wilmeroth, Wenatchee, Wash.
Note: Mr. Wilmeroth spent 32 years on South Water St., Chicago
ea an apple commission man. He probably is the beat posted apple*
man in the country.—Stark Bro'a.
Stark Early Elberta
A great peach for we«tem growers. Originated in Utah.
A yellow free-stone ripening with Carmen but hardier and
better than Elberta and a better shipper. Do what the “Peach
King" ia doing—plant it commercially thi* spring. When they
fruit you will want more. Stark Early Elberta will increasa
peach-orchard profits where ever planted.
I believe Stark Eariy Elberta ia one ol tbe beat varieties introduced
since the first Elberta came. It will no doubt play an important put
in Mctiooa such we have here where growers do not will too
many varieties but must have early and lata kinds. In Early Elberta
one baa all tbe good qualities ol Elberta and the nddUional batata
of early ripening.—E. H. Favor, Horticulturist, Davis County, Utah.
General Stock
We never grew * finer or larger stock of all the popula*
western varieties than we are offering this spring. Traa*
perfection is s description of every tree, end remember—w#
positively assure complete satisfaction. Moat of tha country#
reliable nurseries ar# already sold out. Tha demand ia tan
times greater than the supply. Wa have the stock to fill avery
order tor all sorts and tha kind of stock that will make th*
buyer our lasting friend. But early buying is wisa buying. It I*
to your advantage to order promptly.
Increase your orchard profits—do it by planting the splendid
tested special sorts of Stark Trees. Begin now—don’t wait
until next season. Plant now and be that, much nearer a big
profit paying crop than you would ba by waiting 6 months
or a year.
Here is a brief list of varieties highly adapted to ****?*?
conditions—the kind that will make a model orchard whic*
will yield •'rofitsble returns.
