Oklahoma City, Okla-Totally blind

Germ the political situation and to win
the Democratic nomination for united

primaries. Thomas +. Gore, of Law
ton. Is looked upon as one of the most
remarkable men I'm the southwest.
His election is regarded as almost
certain Gore was opposed for the
nomination by two men of wealth
each OF whom spent q small fortune
In advertising and organization work.
Few people in the proposed state be-
lcvcd that "thc blind orator would
make even a respectable showing In
the primaries. But. while others were
spoculatng on results, Gore was max
ing q grass root campaign, speaking
personally to nearly every farmer and
laboring man In the two territories.
! To get the necessary means TO traNeI
over the state he placed mortgage
on his home at Lawton, stalking all
on the results of the primaries.
Gore will. &c elected be the first
blind man to occupy a seat In con
grcss. At the age OF eight he lost
his left eye, a playmate accidentally
striking him with a stick; and at the
age of II he lost the other eye
through being hit by an arrow.
Notwithstanding this ailiction, Mr..
Gore is a man of superior education
and is noted as an orator. He was
born SO years ago in what is now
Webster county, Miss, and at the
time that he became blind he was
page in the mississippi state senate
and lived a. the house of United
States Senator j. Il. George. From
that time until he reached the age OF
1G Mr. Gore studied at home, his
mother and sister instructing him and
reading TO him. His favorite book
was THE Lives Of Self-Made Men,
and from this volume he says he
gained much that has been bcneiicia
to him in later years.

The volcano has been studied dill.
gently since 1889 and a record has
been kept of the different phases of
its activity. Generally eruptions hap.
pen in the following manner
The volcano begins to show its ac-
tivity by loud detonations and explo-
sions. Subsequently a sound like
that of steam escaping from a boiler
is heard and the crater is covered with
smoke. Lately the explosions accom-
panying eruptions have been very
intense, and resemble the firing Of
heavy artillery.
Although the volcano is continually
active it has periods of repose and
the longer these are the more In.
tense is the activity that follows
them; still the eruptions have been
called paroXysms OF harmless anger.
More dangerous than the eruptions
are the earthquakes, but these, fortu-
natetly, are very rare.

There is an increasing demand for

The tendency has sometimes been TO

ity. But prices are governed not only
by the supply but also by the grade.

product.
Primarily the economic usefulness
of an apple evaporator is through it's
utilization of windfalls and the poor
er grades of fruit which cannot be
marketed to good advantage in a
fresh state, and it is these grades
that are most often evaporated. But
the magnitude OF the crop also in
fuences the grade of the evaporated
product in a decided way. In seasons
Of abundant crops and low prices for
fresh fruit large quantities Of apples
that would ordinarily be barreled are
evaporated and the grade of stock
produced is corespondingly improved.
On the other hand, in years Of scanty
crops. when all apples that can pos
sibly be shipped are in demand at
high prices, only the very poorest
fruit is evaporated, as a rule, thus low
ering the grade of the output
The commercial grading of evapor
ated apples is based primarily on ap

make a better favored product than
another is not considered. AS a rule,
a product of high commercial grade
can be made from any sort which has
a firm texture and bleaches to a sat

variety of high dessert quality, such
as the Northern Spy, may be expected
to make an evaporatei product of cor
respondingly high flavor.
In sections where the Baldwin ap-
pie is grown extensively it is in de-
mand at the commercial evaporators,
as it meets the requirements in fair
degree and it is also available in
relatively large quantities. In the
