1T ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION
AT THE LATE ST. LOUIS
EXPOSITION.
Eastern Fruit Raisers DESTROYS OF
Procuring Trees Of That Variety
Spokane Gets Credit.

AS result of the exhibit of fruit
made at the st. Louis exposition from
the state Of Washington Walla Walla
will receive great deal Of good adver-
Using. Several days ago Charles l..
Whitney, the nurseryman, received a
letter from an orchardist residing near
Lexington, Mo-, making inquiry re-
garding an apple that was labeled the
Spokane Beauty" He desired to pro-
cure some of the trees that produced
that variety of apple. He stated in
his letter that he had seen the apple
in the Washington exhibit at the fair
and that it was the largest one he ever
looked upon.
While the apple has been named the
Spokane Beauty" and that city gets
the credit for producing such an I'M
usually large one, the fact remains
that it should be credited to Walla
originated in this county by Seth Max
son, since deceased, who owned an
orchard on Russell creek. Several
years ago several samples of the apple
were displayed at the Spokane fruit
fair by Charles L. Whitney of this city.
They attracted much attention and
when asked as to the variety Mr..
Whitney explained to many that it had
not been named. E. L. Smith, the vet
eran orchardist of the country, then
asked permission of Mr.. Whitney to
give it name. Mr.. Whitney raised
no objection when Smith called II
Spokane Beauty" and since that time
it has borne that name. Mr. Whitney
has raised a large number of trees of
that variety and has disposed of them
all over the state.
Mr.. Whitney states that ne is daily
in receipt of letters from the east con-
corning the Walla Walla valley and
many persons are seeking information
about the productiveness of the soii,
the chances afforded for fruit raising
on a large scale and he looks for
large number of homeseekers to come
to Walla Walla during the next sum-
mer.

BUCHANAN IS IN JAIL
BELIEVED HE KNOWS SOME
THING OF POISONING OF
LOU MATTHEWS.
Ranch Hand Employed About Mat
thews' Farm May Have to Face
an Ugly Charge.

Suspected of being the party who
administered squirrel poison in a din
ner of pork and beans, which nearly
resulted in the death of Lou Matthews,
the Snake river rancher, a week ago,
George Buchanan, ranch hand, VINO
has been employed about the Matthews
farm at various times is under arrest
and confined in the county Jail.
Buchanan, it is said, branched out as
a capitalist soon after the poisoning af-
fair and as he was never known to be
posed of any great wealth, naturally
suspicion rested upon MIN and he was
picked up by the officers yesterday.
According to reports emanating from
the Matthews neighbOrnood Buchanan
was under financial obligations to
Matthews. A day or so before the
poisoning, it is said, that Buchanan
visited a neighbor and asked for some
poison, saying that he wanted to kill
coyotes. His request was refused but
later on Buchanan, it is said, visited
the ranch again and obtained the
poison from the neighbours wife.
Buchanan was present when Mat
tnews was found in commissions and it
is claimed obtained statement from
hte supposed dying man as to the cache
of $500 which had disappeared. Blu
chanan stoutly maintains his inno-
cence. He will be confined in the Jail
investigation of his case. If sufficient
evidence is found a charge of at
tempted murder will be lodged against
him.
