THE SEATTLE MARKET.

About the only changes on Western
Avenue to break into the monotony OF
the week were the drop in potatoes and
the advance in apples. The condition or
the apple market changed materially,
owing to the fact that farmers have
been holding their stock until eastern
buyers were forced to come west. AS
result, the greater part of the fancy
apples have been shipped east. one chi
cago firm is said to have taken $50 cars
at one shipment from Wenatchee re-
Gently The stock that has been coming
to the Seattle market is not ranked as
the best, although the apples seen here
are good enough at that.
The drop in potatoes was due to sew
eral causes, among which might be men
toned the arrival of a large shipment
of California spuds
The ordinary line of vegetables is in
evidence along the street; cabbage,
beets, carrots, onions and all the other
products of the truck farms being in
evidence. The supply has been ample
for the fair demand and prices are
holding good all along the line.
The poultry market is reported in
good condition. Ducks continue scarce
and nearly every dealer could dispose of
more of them than he has been receiv-
ing, at good prices. The demand for
turkeys has been light, but will prob
ably strengthen within a few days.

SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATIONS.

The demonstration train which the
Hartman lines ran through the Will
annette Valley is the most perfect of
it's kind that has ever been sent out,
and the interest shown by the farm
ers indicated that it was appreciated.
This was the biggest demonstration
train, with more complete exhibits,
than any ever run by any railroad in
the country. There have been corn
and dairy trains in the Middle West,
but this train comprised various agri-
cultural, fruitgrowing and dairy exhib
it's and instruction. 1t was not con-
fined to any one product or industry.
but comprised all that. the average
farmer is interested in. Seven cars
made up the demonstration train.
Three baggage cars were filled with
exhibits of agricultural products and
diagrams of farming methods, dairy
apparatus and specimens of fruits and
horticultural apparatus. Oregon Agri-
cultural College professors we're on
duty at each exhibit to explain them
| fully and answer all questions that
were asked.
| The freight car that carried the two
dairy COWS was fitted up with patent
SIdllS. "A gdSOllHe engine Ill the car
ran the air pump that compressed
air to operate the milking machine.
The stalls were provided with patent
stanchions and all conveniences for
modern and scientific dairying. Pro-
lessor G. A. Cole showed the fruit
growers at the various stops how to
pack fruit commercially. Apples were
taken from the cars and packed by
Professor Cole to show just how they
should be prepared for market. There
was also an electric dynamo, run by
second gasoline engine, that provided
lights for the entire exhibit. The
lights were needed even in sunlight,
for the interior of the baggage car is
dark.

TALKS WITH DEALERS.
POTATO Market Off-At the big

change in the market reported was the

been good and this firm is enjoying a
very successful trade for this season of

Sees Prosperity Coming.-Wm. Meis-
ter of the California Commission Com
pany encouraged by the election Of
Taft, predicts that the next four years
are going to be more prosperous than
ever and with the big increase in Sc
attle's population, which is bound to
come through the advertising afforded
by the Alaska Y ukon-Pacific Exposition,
he believes that the best times ever
known are about to begin for the farm
ers in the country tributary to the city
of Seattle, and he advises all of them
to be prepared to supply big crops of
all kinds of produce during the coming
year. He declares that it is going to
be the bannear year, and there will be
no need of farmers shipping elsewhere.
Seattle will take all their products at
good prices.

EDWARDS EARNED 1T
in JUST Is YEARS

Bailiff Chester Edwards Of the
police court has collected a bet
that it has taken him % years to
earn. When he was a kid he got
his first haircut in Parker's barber
shop on August 81, 1883. Since
then Parker has attended to all
his tonsorial work and takes all
the credit for the bailiff's sleek
visage and general appearance.
Ten years ago Parker told Ed
wards that he could go through the
entire tonsorial art for nothing aft
er he had been patronizing the shop
for 25 years. On August 81 Ed
wards could not get around to it,
but finally he showed up and
was put through for $4.95 worth.
He got lemon shampoo, whatever
that is; a head vibrator said to be
an instrument Of torture or some
thing; haircut, shave, shoe shine,
massage, tonics and the whole
shooting match.

The young girl who is on terms
of tender intimacy with other girls
will frequently do all in her power
to ignore and humiliate her own
younger sister; and while all smiles
to other boys, will snub and ridi

Is it any wonder that the hard

will be sometimes tempted to snarl

reason cut out will be restored to
the Washington program next week
with the Sunday bill. James Nc
Whorter, a popular singer of Spo-
kane, will sing, Are There Any
Thorns in the Roses That You
Wear?" Roland West and company
lead the bill IN a strong bit of
drama, called "The Criminal" The
strength of the act is his versatility
in assuming various characters in
rapid order. Hill and Sylvania in
trick riding have discarded the BIZ
cycle and now use the single wheel.
They are noted all over for daring
riding and the new stuff they have
worked up on single wheels is said
to be more sensational than any
thing they have ever attempted be-
fore. Miss Grace Leonard has some
thing entertaining in her imperson-
atoms of the ideal boy. Billy Noble

NO MERCY EVEN
IN COMMON MISERY

A ruthless slaughter of innocent
deer has been going on in the par
ishes of Terrebone and st. Mary in
Louisiana during the past few
weeks. The high water has driven
hundreds of these gentle animals
from their feeding grounds in the
lowlands back to higher ground.
Here they have gathered on hills
and mounds and any spot that
promised refuge from the floods.
Some of the high places are no
more than mere hummoC Ks, and the
frightened creatures have huddled
together here an easy prey to the
hard hearted hunters, who have
shot them down by the hundred
with rifles, shotguns, and even
pistols.

WANT COUNTY
TO PAY SHARE

City and county officials con-
ferred at the commissioners rooms
in the courthouse yesterday on
the question of an appropriation of
$4,000 sought by the city officials
from the county as part payment
for the new detention hospital to
be built on the Spokane river west
of Audubon park. When the mat
ter was brought up on former
occasion, the county commissioners
seemed 10th to take action because
of legal doubts of their ability to
make the requested appropriation.
Yesterday city officials were
armed with an opinion from the
attorney general giving the com
missioners the right to vote the
money if they so desired. Action
on the request was postponed by
the commissioners until next We'd
nesday.
The foundation for the new hos
pital has been laid and work on the
building proper is expected to be-
gin soon. 1t is estimated that the
building when completed will cost
$4,000.

son of hate.
So the beautiful and tender rela-
lions of home life and consanquin-
ity are strained; and the home, in
stead of being the paradise it
should be, becomes the scene of
constant nagging, wrangling and
|scolding, in which all the truest
and noblest feelings of the human
heart are deadened.
The law of the family and home
life should be simply the law of the
drawing room-the law of polite
ness. And the basis of politeness is
merely consideration. In all the
world is there any woman so fully
entitled to a mans tenderest and
most delicate attention as to his
own wife? Who so worthy as care
and affection as the brother, the
sister, the son, the daughter?
Let us adopt for the motto of our
homeand family life the word Con
sideration." Let us beware of the
first unkind or offensive word or
action. Should another be unkind
to us, then let us remember that "a
soft answer turned away wrath"
If we follow this rule we will soon
find that we have found the secret
of home harmony.

noon features are Miss Stetson and
Janet Melville in topical songs and
character representations. They
are both fixtures as well as features
on the vaudeville stage, and good
enough to lead an Orpheum bill.

Irwin order and Miss Melville Is an
nounced as an old compatriot OF
Louis James and Blanche Walsh.
Their act Is said to be first class. A
troupe of II educated simians, man.
aged by Belle Hathaway, is the Sec
ond number. Part of the troupe
was born funny and all are athletes
of the highest monkey standard.
Zeno, Jordan and Zeno, wizards OF

Story" depicting the reclamation of
a victim of drink through the ef-
forts Of a child is played by George

age 3. Miss Mabel Sinclair, brought
from London by the Orpheum cir
cult, offers the unusual attraction
