WILL OBSERVE
ROSH HASHANAH
Jewish Festival of New
Year Begins at Sunset
Tomorrow

NEW YORK, Sept. AT sunset
tomorrow evening the Jewish people
throughout the world will begin the
celebration of Rosh Hashanah, or the
festival of the New Year. 1t will be
the beginning Of the year 1868 of the
HebraiC calendar, which is traditional
ly supposed to count from the creation
of the world The celebration of the
/ New Years festival is moro generally
observed by the Jews than any other
of the numerous feasts and fasts in
I their calendar, with the single excep-
! ton of Yom Kippur, or the feast Of
the Day of Atonement, which follows
! close upon it.
Among orthodox Jews, whose num-
bers in this city have been greatly in"
creased in recent years by immi-
grants from Russia and Poland the
ceremonies in connectios with Rosh
Hashanah extend over two days. With
what is termed the reformed element,
those who have accepted the modern
Interpretation of the scriptures, while
the celebration of the festival is as
strictly observed as among the ortho-
dox, it is confined to one day. The
religious observance of the festival en-
joins entire absention from business
: and all labor and the attendance upon
the religious services at the sysa-
gogues. ......-
A prominent feature of the services
in the synagogues is the blowing OF
the rams horn or shofar. The reason
for blowing the horn can be traced
back to the beginning of the Jewish
race, and Is supposed to remind tn,
children of Israel that the time for re-
pentance is at hand and they shoult
realize that they have committed sin
: which should be atoned for. Afte
the blowing of the horn special serv
ices and prayers are held to common
crate the occasion.
In addition to the regularly estab
Usher congregations worshipping al
y the year round in places of worship
+ owned or regularly rented by them
the need of many improvised sysa
gogues is imperative owing to tn
great number of Jews, on the East sid
= especially, who do not belong to an,
established congregation, but who de
. sire to take part in the celebration O
the festival.
To fulfill this need every available
hall and place of public meeting on tn,
East side, many in Harlem and a mum
Der in the Bronx, have been fitted III
as temporary places of worship TIL,
seats in these improvised synagogue,
, are bought by those who deire to wor.
hip at these places, but there is al.
ways a provision made for those who
cannot afford the expenditure, SO thai
no one DESTROYS of taking part in the
service is turned away.

INVENTOR OF
new FRUIT
"Yakameen" a Combination
of Peach Apricot and
Plum

NORTH YAKIMA, Sept. IA. M.
Gale, the originator of the peach-ap-
ricot- plum fruit, which he has named
"Yakimeens," has cleaned up 5000
this season by the sale of buds from
his trees for grating, and expects to
realize $4,000 more before the close Of
the season.
Mr.. Gale undoubtedly will make
comfortable fortune out of his ex-
pertinent in the course of the next two
or three years, and it Is interesting to
note that the cause OF hts success was
accidental Among a shipment OF
apricot trees which Gale received was
one tree that was not an apricot. It
was planted in the orchard near the
river and the floods came along and
broke the tree, leaving it bent and
leaf1ess. Mr.. Gale thought 1t was dead,
I but months later pruned it up and 1t
| bore fruit the next year. Mr.. Gale did
not know what the fruit was, but find
ing it was very good to eat he grated
number of buds from the tree onto
his peach trees. The yakameens are
the result. Mr.. Gale has but three
acres of orchard.

POWER PLANT
FOR The YUKON

DAWSON, Aug. 3O.-Vice Consul
c. G. Woodward reports on the i'm
provements in Yukon territory as fol-
lows:
An important work contemplated in
the near future is the construction Of
large power house of approximately
1000 horsepower near the western
boundary, on the Yukon river some 80
miles below Dawson, for the purpose
OF furnishing electrical power to
dredges on the Fortymile creek and its
tributaries in Alaska and the Fortv-
mile and Klondike rivers in the Yukon
territory. The company has a power
house in Dawson and furnishes this
city and Grand Forks with electric
light and Dawson with water for
household purposes and hydrant svs-
tenn for fire purposes. On the compile

with the works at Dawson, other than
to hold 1t as a reserve in case of acci-

In their present plant is coal taken
from the company's mine on Coal
creek, at which place the proposed
plant is to be situated, the idea being
that it is cheaper to convey electricity
than coal. The output of the mine
last year amounted to some 5000 tons.
the entire output being used by the
company in Dawson. This coal landed
at Dawson by the companys steamer

plant at the mouth of the mine the
coal costs about 81 per ton.

TO FIGHT TRUST

SALT LAKE, Sept. IA co-opera-
tive grocery store, backed by suffi-
cient capital to make it last until 1t
trust and lowers prices on foodstuffs
in Salt Lake, says the Inter Mountain
Republican, is being planned by prom
inent Salt Lake men.
The co-operatiev store will be run
with business principles that VIII Inn
mediately elicit the hearty approval or
the public and the instant scorn of
| the Butchers and Grocers association.
Prices fixed and upheld by the retail
ers and jobbers will not stand with the
new store, and the public will be
asked to patronize the shop where the
prices are cheap. The public will get
the benefit of the. wholesale prices and
if the goods cannot be bought in Utah,
it is the intention to ship them in
from the East or West, whatever the
case may be. ~
The proposition will take definite
shape within week and an important
announcement from the promoters is
expected at an early date.
A Salt Lake man with a precoclty
for figures has made an interesting
calculation. He finds that he could
establish cooperative store by get
ting 100 persons to make $50 SUBJ
scriptions toward the general fund. A
stock would be purchased and the
store run on the best business lines.
He figures that if the present prices
were maintained, the store could de-
clare a 5000 dividend at the end of a
year and have all of it's stock paid for
and enough stock to start business on.
a new year, besides paying a liberal
portion toward the purchase of the
building wherein the business is COM
Quoted.
