The last monthly report of the

Il LIZ iooo LuouuuIy ItpOEI VI Gne
~ United States Department of
Agriculture gives the condition of the
apple crop, taking the country as a
whole, at A per cent, basing a full
yield on 100 per cent. The condition
OF A for the entire country compares
with 20 year ago, and 65, the aver
age at this time of the year for the
past ten years. In other words,
prospects on August 1st are that in
the United States there will be about
two thirds of an average apple crop.
The states of Ohio, Indiana, Missouri,
Illinois and Kansas are al! far short
of full crop.
In the New England states the
crop is not so far below the average,
but there will be little if any surplus
for the markets of the middle states.
In the seven states from the Rocky
mountains west, which are consider
ed factors in the apple crop of the
country, there are only two showing
better averages than year ago,
Montana and Washington. In only a
few districts in Montana are apples
grown excessively for commercial
purposes. The condition in that
state is 88, or five points higher than
a year ago. Washington's condition
this year is 85, compared with IS a
year ago.
Oregon, on the contrary, is 20
points lower than year ago, the
present condition being IS. Idaho is
about the same as year ago.
| Both Colorado and New Mexico are
very low in condition this year. Col
orado is counted on as one Of the big
western apple states, and under nor
NAL conditions produces apples exten-
sively for shipment to other states.
This year the condition in that state
is but 20, compared with 80 at this
time last year. New Mexico has a
few sections which produce apples
quite extensively. The condition
there is 25, compared with 80 year
ago.
| California has lower condition
than year ago, 20 per cent at the
present time, or 10 points below last
years condition.
| According to these figures, there
are only twelve prominent apple
states in the country which have a
condition of 70 or higher, whereas a
year ago there were % of the lead
ing apple states having condition of
20 or better. OF these II states hav-
ing condition of " or better, six are
in New England, and New York is in
cluded, so that these seven states
represent more than half of the states
in the country having a reasonably
high condition at this time.
The other states having condition
of 70 or better are Arkansas, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Califor-

Anti-Saloon Organ
Praises Mr.. Garrett

Under the heading San Juan Stops
Selling to Indians, a recent issue Of
the Citizen, of Seattle, the organ of
the anti-saloon league, says:
AFTER persistent efforts on the
part of the splendid Prosecuting At
torney, Hon. w. r. Garrett, of San
Juan County, the Board of County
Commissioners recently passed reso-
luton prohibiting the sale of liquor to
any Indian, whether citizen or not,
and providing for the revocation Of
the license Of any person violating the
order. T.nis action will, it is hoped,
result in great change in conditions,
especially during the clam, fishing
and berry season, when so many In
dians visit the islands.
"We understand that Prosecutor
Garrett is the first prosecuting at
torney to grapple with this problem
in the county, and his success thus
far has greatly encouraged the peo-
pie of the county, who believe in law
and order"
Without wishing to belittle in the
slightest degree the efforts Of Mr..
Garrett in behalf of law and order, "
and against the liquor men who
worked so hard for his election, it is
only fair to former boards OF commits
sioners and prosecuting attorneys to
saw that the commissioners record
shows that similar resolutions bear
ing upon the sale Of liquor to Indians
and minors and violations Of the Sum
day law by saloons, have been passed
more than once before and that they
have been quite as forceful and effect
i've.

Rev. Robert Twin has rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Presby-

ley, having decided to carry out a
long-cherished plan to take special
course of study in one of the large
eastern colleges. He is one of the
ablest and most broad minded men
who has ever been engaged in relig-

estimable wife will be greatly missed
by many friends, many of whom are
not members of any church.

The Puget Sound American stated
last Monday that a prominent Belling-
ham clergyman, Rev. Mr.. Fleischner,
had been forcibly put ashore from the
steamer Islander at East Sound Sat
urday afternoon. The statement was
without the least foundation in fact.
The steamer had her full limit of pas
senge.'s before she reached East
Sound. No one was put ashore and
Mr.. Fleischner was not even in the
county. The passengers who were
unable to go on the Islander were
taken to Bellingham later in the day
by the Buckeye, which made special
trip for that purpose.

A. ]. Bolton Has Ridden 10000
Miles in an Auto.

A. j. Bolton, arural mail carrier o.
Detroit, has probably the long dis
lance record for central Kansas and
perhaps Of the state. He has run ar
Oldsmobile runabout for over two
years on his mail route and is still
using 1t. His mileage is now over
20, 900 and the machine makes its
daily trips. He has bought six tires
at cost Of $10S and broke one spring
which cost about 500 to repair. The
other repairs have been slight. He
leaves the postoffice at 8 a. m. and re-
turns before noon, giving him the
whole afternoon to himself. The
other carriers with tive or three horses
in daily use do not get in until 4 or 8
p. m. He keeps one horse for use
when the roads are bad but has used
it only-two or three days this summer.
Two or three other carriers Of the
county are carrying mail in run
abouls but none has such a good
record as he.

BANK FOR $50 FAMILIES.
Dickinson County IL Well Provided
with Demonstrates.

Another state bank Is TO be started
Fin this comfy, at Herlngton, This
will make IS banks for a population
| Of about $4,000, a bank for every $50
families. The county had seven
banks eight years ago and their de-
posts were small. Now the deposits
are oyer 81, 900. 900 or 800 per capita
for every resident Of the county
This city for instance has si,l4o,oO0
( ON deposit in Its four banks, gain Of
$3.50, 900 in the past year and the In
dications are that there will be no
diminution OF the increase during the
coming twelve months. =
The banks Of this section Of the
state are finding the demand for loans
locally rather strong, owing to the
large amount Of building among the
farmers and the many enterprises in
which the people are becoming inter
ested. The cattle feeding season will
soon open and this will call for good
deal OF money. The banks are also
handling . good deal Of commercial
paper Of the higher class and this is
giving good interest return. There
seems no reason to expect lessening
Of the prosperity Of this county as the
income from the farms has been
larger than 1t was last year and the
farmers themselves are we'll satisfied
with the conditions.

QUESTION OF PURE WATER SUP.
PLY.

The proposition to be submitted to
the city council by the Waha- Lewiston
company. as outlined by the interview
. published from Mr.. w. p. Hurlbut rel
alive to furnishing an adequate supply
of pure mountain water for the use of
the city of Lewiston will be one of the
most important questions that ever
came before that body, because the
discussion of 1t not only concerns the
present needs, but looks to the de-
mands of the future.
The question of pure water supply Is
one that soon confronts a city of any
considerable size, and grows to be a
momentous question for any city that
aspires to metropolitan proportions.
Water supply is sanitary question
that goes hand in hand with adequate
sewerage, and the two combined fur
n'sh those splendid advantages that
make a city of desirable homes.
There has already been some ques-
ton about the source of Lewiston's
present water supply and the question
will grow rapidly with the growth or
the city. 1t is problem that is facing
many other cities in the Northwest.
Spokane has up the question of purer
water supply, and Seattle is consider
ing the expenditure of large sum of
money for the same purpose. 1t is a
question that Portland settled when
the expenditure was made to put in the
Bull Run system that furnishes that
city with its splendid service.
According to the plan outlined by
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-08-19

Mr.. Hurlbut, the city is about to be
offered an adequate supply of water,
not only for the immediate present but
for all time to come, and from a
source that insures absolute purity of
the supply, natural springs of noun
tain water. Coming as it does in con-
nection with another great enterprise,
the cost to the city will be less than
it can ever be made subsequently and
Independently.
There can be no question about the
source and abundance of the Waha
water supply, and there should be ne
question about the advisability of the
city of Lewiston securing 1t IL the
proposition made by the Waha-Lewis-
ton company is in keeping with the
liberal tone of Mr.. Hurlbuts an
nouncement.

Deafness Cannot ee Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
'niamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
L is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out o.
ten are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars

George e. Roberts, who recently re-
signed his position as director of the
United States mint to accept the pres
idency of a Chicago bank, was born,
in Delaware county, Ia, Aug. 10, 1857
Several years of his youth were spent
at the printers cease" after which
embarked in the newspaper bust
ness for himself. When he was Int
81 years old he became part owner OF
newspaper at Fort Dodge, Ia, which
he soon made a power in republican
politics in the state. His first political
appointment, that of state printer
came to him when he was "a years
old. He early developed an interest In
the financial question, studying 1t
closely, and when the free silver agjta-
ton swept over the country his news
paper articles. based on a thorough
knowledge of the theory of finance, at
tracted much attention. Lyman J.
Gage then president of Chicago bank
was greatly interested in the writings
of Mr.. Roberts, and when Mr.. Gage
later became secretary of the treasury
one of his first acts was to secure the
appointment of the young Iowa news
paper man as director of the mint.
