TO Challenge WORLD
FOR A BETTER APPLE

Conconully, WASH, April 2s.-The
orchardists and farmers of Okanogan
are preparing to send out challenge
to the world, and especially Wenatchee
and Yakima, to compete this year in
the growth of apples for size and quail
ity. This spirit of contest was arous-
ed by an article published in the New
York Tribune stating that Yakima ap-
pies were the finest in the world.
The fact that Okanogan county has
secured gold medals for their apples at
the st. Louis Worlds fair and the
Lewis and Clark exposition ut Port
land, has caused the ranchers to take
notice of this statement and All off,

our composite race. lie has neither

to distinguish him from those among
whom he labors. and his children are
SOON an indistinguiShable part Of the
community. Not so with the Chinese.
They are not only distinguished by
their dress. language and habits, hui;
they remain entirely separate and apart
from those among whom they dwell.
This difference is due not only to the
wide dissimilarity in history. tradition
and habit. but also to the absence OF
any permanent or patriotic interest in
the land in which they sojourn.
1t would require generations to bring
our people down to Il plane upon which
they could compete with the Chinese,
and this would involve a large impair
