INDICATION THAT
APPLE CROP IS GOOD
Local Commission Merchants Expect
Encouraging Reports From
Their Buyers. -.....-t-~

Local commission merchants saw
that the reports to the effect that the
apple crop this year will be immense
are somewhat premature, but that the
indications are that these reports are
correct They have their representa-
tlVes out in Iowa, Missouri and Kan
sas, but have not heard definitely from
them as yet, but expect to within a few
days. Buyers for all the local commits
sion houses are securing these states
and contracting for apples.
One of the best indications that a
big crop is expected is the fact that
cooperS are manufacturing large quan-
titles of barrels in anticipation Of an
active demand. One of the largest ap-
pie growers of Kansas sends in the
following report to local commission
merchants:
''The growth of apples has progress
ed farther now than l have ever seen
it at this time of year, and 1 believe
the quantity of apples this fall will be
unusual. The fact that the trees are
loaded with fruit will tend to make the
fruit of unusual size. The Ben Davis,
which is one of the best shipping ap-
pies, will be the finest apple on the
market They are of remarkable size
now and if nothing happens will be the
best ever raised in Kansas. The Mis-
souri, Pippin, one of the best Kansas
apples, will be the most abundant Of
any of the apples. The trees now are
simply loaded. The Jonathan apple
will be scarce.
There is almost a failure of the
peach crop in Kansas, except for the
southern part, which will tend to in
crease the sale of apples"

MECHANIC ARTS MUST
HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM
Commercial Club Takes Up Fight in
Schools Behalf And Will Carry
1t to Board.

The sentiment among business men
that the Mechanic Arts high school
must not be curtailed in efficiency. and
that 1t must have all the room neces-
Sary 10 properly accommodate all who
desire to attend 1t, was given formal
expression by the Commercial club
yesterday, the board Of directors pass
Ing the following resolution:
>, Resolved, That it is the opinion of
the Commercial club expressed
through it's board of directors that the
school board should use every effort to
provide an adequate facility for the
carrying on of the work of the Me-
chanlc Arts high school, and that all
money spent for promoting manual
training be used to increase the facili-
ties of the Mechanic Arts high school
rather than spend the money in de-
Veloplng manual training in any of the
other school buildings.
Gen. III. w. Childs, J. w. T.. Corning.
OIlVer crosby, T. A. Abbott and Ed
Waro Vanish were appointed O. com
mlttee to present the resolution to the
school board at it's next meeting and
insist that its spirit be observed by The
board. -
The Commercial club wants the
manual training work concentrated at
the Mechanic Arts building, and will
work to that end. There was consider
able sentiment in favor Of asking for
a new building for the school, but this
was deemed inadvisible at present. hut

EGGS CONTINUE TO
INCREASE IN PRICE
Are Higher Than They Have Been for
Years and No. Indications of
a Let-Up.

The rumor that the meat trust is
cornering the egg market receives
new verification each day as the price
of eggs goes up instead of down. Eggs
are higher today than they have been
for years. On April 1 commission
merchants We're paying 12h cents for
eggs; on April Is they paid 1874 cents;
on May 1 and up to June Is they paid
IA cents; on July 1 they paid Is cents,
and. on July Is they paid 16 cents, SELL
ing to grocers for Is cents. At this
time Of year ordinarily the price has
been 10 cents a dozen, and often as
low as cents dozen. One commits
sion merchant said yesterday that one
good thing about the egg market at
the present time was the exceptionally
good quality of the eggs, eggs being as
fresh as they are at any time of the
year and as good in every way. He
accounted for it on the theory that the
market is being rapidly cleaned up.

ST. PAUL IN NEED OF
NEW BALLOT BOXES
Present Ones Ready to Fall to Pieces
and of No Use-New Ones to
Cost $4,000.

City Clerk Matt Jensen says that If
another election is to be held new bal
lot boxes will have to be purchased.
The present equipment is in such a
bad shape that the collapse of the
boxes is expected at any time.
AT the last city election a number of
the boxes had to be thrown away, ana
in several instances accidents occurred
in which the sides of the boxes fell
apart and the ballots were scattered
over the booth. One judge, in return
ing his box after the count, let it fall
near the court house, and for soma
time afterward he was busiiy e1ga ged
in collecting the contents, which the
winds had scattered in all directions.
The grand jury on no less than two
occasions has made reference to the
unsafe condition of the present equip
ment. To secure a new equipment, it
is estimated that at least $1,000 would
be necessary.

CITY LIGHTING PLANT
EFFORTS TO SECURE APPRoPRI.
ALTON ARE RENEWED.
Member OF Council Quotes Figures
showing Cost of Lights in Cities
Owning Plants Is From $50 to $40 Per
Lamp Cheaper-Cost of Lighting
Must Be Forced Down.

Another effort is to be made at the
annual meeting of the conference COM
fnlttee this year to obtain an appro-
prlat1on that will form a nucleus for
the establishment of a municipal light
ing plant. The present poor condition
or the gasoline service and the high
price being paid for electricity Is re-
spohslbIe. Those behind the movement
ngure tnae II an appropriation Of $25.-
VoO can be induced this year two years
more will see a change in the law re-
iatlng to the issue Of bonds, and then
the entire amount can be raised.
FORMER City Engineer CIaussen was
the principal advocate Of a municipal
lighting plant, and with several mem
bers of the council fought valiantly for
two years for an appropriation suffi-
clent to assure the Improvement, but
outside pressure against it was so
great that it was voted down each
time.
City Plants Are Cheaper.
One member of the council has been
lndustriously securing figures regard
ing the cost of lights from cities that
own their own plants, and finds that
arc lights can be furnished at from
$50 to $40, where st. Paul now pays
$50 and $110 per lamp per year. In
smaller cities the cost is reduced as
~ w ciS D0O d ldIHpy DuI II1lS Is not con-
sidered a good comparison, inasmuch
as those cities are equipped with plants
the cost of maintenance of which could
never be duplicated in st. Paul, where
the conditions are in every way differ
ent.
If of no other use the promoters Of
the scheme say the threat of a mu-
nicipal lighting plant can be used in
forcing down the rates now prevailing,
which they consider entirely to high.
1t is because of the extreme cost of
arc lights that they are not used more
extensively in ST. Paul.
Whether the request for an appro-
priation prevails or not a demand for
an Improvement of the present gasoline
lighting will be insisted on. 1t has
been shown that the city must own it's
own posts, and to this end the sum of
$4,000 will be asked for. A vigorous
crusade will be made in this direction.
Imperial Company Again.
Anticipating the request for an ap-
preparation for a municipal lighting
plant, the Imperial Manufacturing
company, it is said, will again renew
its request for lighting and heating
franchise. The request was practical
ly refused by the old body, but it is
now thought there is a change of SEN
timent and the request will be renew
ed. The Imperial company claims that
If it is given a franchise it will bid
for city lighting and reduce the figure
now paid very materially.

PUBLIC BATHS ARE TO
BE ENLARGED AGAIN
Increased Patronage This Year Rem
ders Present Accommodations
Inadequate.

Over 1000 persons tosted the delights
of dip in the roomy pools at Harriet
island yesterday. While not the big
geSt day since the institution was open
ed this year, the bathing pavilions re-
ceiVed the heaviest tax on any one
day since they were erected, for the
reason that the crowds delayed their
coming until we'll after the noon hour.
This was due to the fact that the ISL
and during the afternoon and evening
was the rendezvous of a number of
large picnic parties.
AS late as $3.50 o'clock last evening
the number lined up and waiting for
bathing suits was so large that it ex-
tended half way down the platform of
the big pavilion, and fully half of this
number had to indulge in a tiresome
wait because of the fact that the ma
jority of the lockers were taken. The
most of them had to wait until some
of the lockers were vacated, and in or
der to accommodate them quickly tenn
porary lockers were furnished.
Yesterday might be termed ladies
day, for the number of female bathers
were greater than has been seen this
year. Their pool was a continual flash
of color and continued so we'll into
the evening. Another feature well pat
ronized was the family pool, where
both sexes are accommodated. The
revenue from these two pools this year
is greater than ever. Last year the
ladies' and children's pool was COM
parative failure.
If the public baths continue to grow
in popular favor at the rate so far
shown, DR.. Ohage says he will again
have to increase the size of the pools
and add more pavilions. The capacity
is now double what it was last year,
but it is by no means adequate to the
demands during hot weather.
AS soon as the institution is closed
for the season the sand pump will be
put to work and the slough to the
south of the island deepened. The
sand removed will be used in raising
the level of the island. 1t is also pos
sible that steps will be taken next year
to add Raspberry island to Harriet.
This was to have been done this year,
but owing to some difficulties attending
the transfer it was not done.

From remarks made it is likely that
the company will have to agree to
more concessions than these when it's

for adoption. Some of the members
want automatic gates put in when

to see a provision for the l0w3ring oH

( Frequent quarrels between Albert
Elam and William Ellis, alias Johnson,
illuminated yesterday in a shooting af-
fray. Ellis was shot through the nand,
and that his injuries are not more serl-
Gus is entirely due to the poor mark
manship of ELAN. Both men are COL

on the new Great Northern shops on
Dale street. Elan is under arrest at

Ellis returned the compliment with

contact with Elam's nose, but did not
do any damage.
b, Had Trouble Before.
Elam and Ellis are both from Mem

city a short time. Tuesday Elam Swore
out a warrant for the arrest oe Ellis,
charging him with assault and battery.
Ellis was brought into the police court
yesterday morning and pleaded guilty
to the charge. He explained that he
and Elam had trouble frequently, and
Judge Finehout fined him S5, which he
paid.
j. Ellis went from the court room to
the shops and started to work, while
Elan did not appear before l o'clock
in the afternoon. Several colored
briCklayers had sided in the first quar-
~ with Ellis and the foreman thought
that the only way to keep peace would
be to discharge Elan.

noon he was told that he was dis
charged. He went up on the fielding

The stories as to how the last quar-
rel originated are all conflicting. As
( near as can be ascertained, Elan start

yer when he was brought to the Rondo
police station. He contended that it
I was all a conspiracy on the part of

4r At the hospital it was said that Ell

one bone of the hand was broken. Ell
lis will be able to appear in court to-
