but so many reservations have been
made for space in the various con-
tests, that the management was con-
fronted with the option of limiting
the exhibits or charging the accom-
modations.
Exhibits for the national apple
show are assured from all sections
of the country where apples are sue
cessfully grown North Carolina
has established a cold storage plant
for the express purpose of storing
choice apples for the Spokane exposi-
ton. Other eastern states will be
represented, though not on so large
q scale.
Michigan, Missouri and Arkansas
will send individual or district dis
plays, while Colorado will have en-
tries in the carload contests, and in
some of the box contests.
Most of the entries, however, thus
far have come from the northwestern
states and from British Columbia.
Idaho. Utah and the Oregon district
will be largely represented, in every
class of contest, and Washington
probably will lead all the states in
the number of exhibits. British Col
umbia has appointed agents at KEEL
owna and other points in the fruit
belt to collect apples for the Spokane
show.
The prizes to date aggregate $685.

this firm, was the originator of the
plan for the Commercial Club to get
the use of the prominent display win
dows around the business section
and exhibit in them the Wenatche &c
Valley products. The results have
been very gratifying. Not only has
the grower received a stimulus to
exert himself to the utmost next
year to equal or surpass the exhibits
Of his neighbor this season, but the
ment to give visitors and prospective
investors who come to look into the
possibilities of this valley.
The Commercial Club is now TAX
ing another step III advance for the
purpose of improving one important
item which has hitherto been over
looked. The contest to be held for
the next two weeks will include not
only the quality of the fruit but the
excellence of the packing as we'll.
In order to emphasize the Importance
of this new feature the firm of Hal
bert & Weber Hardware company
have made up a special case of Keen
Kutter tools, nicely encased in a
convenient chest, the selection being
made with especial reference to the
needs of fruit rancher. The tools
are of the same brand and quality
as took the Worlds Fair Grand
Prize at st. Louis. The list of tools
contained in the cabinet is given be-
low. The cabinet itself may be seen

CHEMICAL WASH MAKES
RUGS APPEAR ANTIQUE
Inscriptions Dealers Resort to
Trick to Make Goods
SaIabIe

The United States buys annually
many thousand dollars worth of what
are known to the profession as washed
rugs. Brightly colored oriental rugs
sometimes are washed with a solution
partly bleaches the colors and imparts
a soft appearance to the rug
This chemical treatment is a process
of washing which produces the effect
of age and peculiar sheen to the sur
face, which is pointed out by the un-
rior quality. The fact is that the
process of washing as described in
variably weakens and in some in
stances destroys the materials OF the
rug
The progressive effect of the chemi-
Gals on the materials in the rug is this:
The chloride gas contained in the
chloride of lime attracts oxygen and
moisture from the air by which muri-
attic acid is formed. This eats away
the vitals of the rug. Sooner or later
the wool and cotton in the rug be-
come brittle and thus weaken the warp
and deteriorate the wool.
When this deterioration is complete

SERVIA'S CLAIM AGAINST
AUSTRIA HARD TO SETTLE
Demand Is Reasonable, but
Further Slicing of Turkish
Land Is Impossible

The claim for compensation, which
was put forward by Servia shortly
after Austria had proclaimed the an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
is one OF those demands which all un-
prejudiced persons will admit is per-
fectly reasonable, and at the same time,
In present circumstances, almost impos-
sible of realization. Servia wishes to
be united territorially to Montenegro,
and for this purpose the two states
might very we'll claim the Sandjak of
evacuated on behalf of Turkey. But
she recognizes that the Turks have
already been plundered sufficiently and
that it is hardly fair or reasonable to
ask for another slice of Turkey, al
though the land is in reality Servian.
tory now incorporated in Bosnia. which
lies to the northwest of the Sandjak
between the Turkish frontier and the
river Drina. If this bit of land was
divided between Montenegro and Ser
via the two states would be coter-
minous and would no longer be sepa-
rated by strip of Turkish territory.
But it is difficult to believe that Ser
via is serious in pressing this, for
Austria is bound to resist it with the
this claim complied with, the Austro-
hungarian empire would be absolutely
shut off from any possible extension to
Macedonia and Salonica, and however
much Austria may deprecate the idea
that she intends some day to march
doubt that that is the ultimate aim OF
her policy. To agree TO Servia's de-
mand would be TO abandon all hopes
Of expansion, and she would be quite
as likely to surrender to her neighbor

INDIVIDUAL WORK
OF SOME BIG MEN
Henry II. Rogers of Standard
Oil Has Built Railroad in
Virginia Worth S3I. 10000

Individual enterprise is far from dead
even If this be the age of the syndi-
cate and the trust. There are num-
ber of striking examples in this coun-
try today of where one man Is doing
what is only expected of corpora
tion.
Henry II. Rogers. who is a partncc
Of Rockefeller in the oil business, has
taken s31,000,000 from his. own pocket
to build personally railroad through
the Virginias. This is nearly four
times the fortune which Girard be-
queathed to Philadelphia for his great
college.
Another partner of the Standard
Oils father is also a railroad builder.
Henry NJ Flagler, among his other
huge undertakings, is at work on the
only salt water railroad" in the
world. His remarkable road over the
Florida keys is a monument to his
energy as we'll as a triumph of engi-
neering His various lines have cost
$25,0U0,00e.
David Moffatt is one of the big fig
ures of the west. Having accumulated
a vast fortune. he is spending large
part of it in building q railroad from
Denver across the Rocky mountains
These men, and others like them, al
though less notable. have the cravin 6
to do monumental work as individ-
nails Could there be better proof
that such far sighted individuals have
faith in the future of their
country than the risk of their per-
sonal fortunes on new railroads.
