JUST COMPARE
THE APPLES

The collection Of apples from
New York on display at the apple
show is an object of much inter
est, as matter of comparison
with the apples grown in the Pa
cific northwest. The New York
apples have very familiar ap-
pearance to people recently come
from the east, as they are a fair
sample of the apples sold through
the central states in the ordinary
retail trade.
The development Of the apple
growing industry from the stage
of the New York apples on display
to those produced in the Pacific
northwest, represents years of
hard labor and patient application,
the reward of which is now shown
in the magnificent display at the
apple show. The westerner has
grounds for pride in the COMPARE
son.

NUMEROUS SAINT
DISAPPEARS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. TO-
John Sharp. the leader of the re-
ligious sect that engaged in a pis-
tol duel with the police which re-
suited in the death of a policeman
and Lulu Pratt, the little daughter
of one of the sect, has apparently
made good his escape. All efforts
to locate him have been unsuccess-
full
1t was learned that following the
shooting Sharp went to a barber
shop where he was shorn of his
long hair and beard.
Policeman Mullan and Sergeant
Clark, who were shot in the battle,
are on the road to recovery. A. J.
Seller. bystander, who was shot
in the lung, will also recover.
Mrs. Pratt and her four other
minor children. over which the
fight was precipitated, is still in
Jail.
Some excuses are so thin that
blind man can see through them.

ITALIANS FIGHT NEAR
MURDER SCENE

Another tragedy was almost en-
acted early last night at the scene
of the assassination of Ernest San
taro. whose body with Fl stiletto
wounds in it was found several
weeks ago soon after he had left
the residence of Frank Bruno and
started for his home in Hillyard.
The murder was attributed to
"Black Hand" vengeance.
About Z o'clock last night the
police were informed by telephone
that a crowd of Italians were fight
ing at the intersection of the
Great Northern and w. w. P. lines.
Police hurried to the scene but by
the time they arrived only two of
the belligerents were in sight and
were arrested. Each carried gun.
They gave names of George Scaffa
and Dominic Monteliana.

SPOKANE EXHIBIT
PROVES ITS WORTH

Hundreds of visitors to the ma
tional apple show stop to inspect
the agricultural display at the
chamber of commerce. This dis
play is one of the most interesting
of the kind ever seen, and always
is the pride of members Of the
chamber when showing strangers
around. It Is free to the public
and Is calculated to open the eyes
of a man who is not familiar with
the productive qualities of the soil
of the great northwest.

SAYS CITIES ARE
TO BLAME FOR
CONSUMPTION.

TACOMA, Dec. 10.--City Health
Officer Yocom declares the day is
rapidly coming when cities will be
held responsible in courts for
death by typhoid fever and tuber-
culosis.
Both of these diseases being pre-
ventable, he holds that it is only a
question of time until the people
will insist ON cities taking the
proper steps to eradicate them.

Health Officer Urges That
Examinations be Made
-. Compulsory

The proposition to build a tuber-
uulOsis hospital advanced by
Health Officer Grieve in an address
before the chamber of commerce
- meeting with considerable inter-
est. Last year there were'72 deaths
from this disease in Spokane. DR..
Grieve is trying to find some
method of checking it. He says:
Spokane is practically doing
nothing to stop the spread of tuber-
culosis, except the mild attempt to
enforce the INTERPRETATION ordi-
nance. Last year we had u deaths
from tuberculosis in this city, ana
In the United States vast army
Of people died in that time from
this disease, something like $4,000.
Think of it! AS many people as
reside in the city of Spokanel
statistics from United States re.
ports gathered from foreign coun-
tries as we'll as the United States
indicate that 40 per cent of all
COWS are tuberculous. Results of
the examination of cows supplying
milk to this city indicate that 40
per cent of our own nerd are tuber-
culous. All cows that are tuber-
Culous do not scatter tuberculosis,
but all cows that have had the dis
ease for three years or more are
active agents in its spread.
"The danger from the presence
OF tuberculosis among dairy cows
is not confined to the use of milk
as a beverage. When tubercle
bacilli are present in milk they en-
ter the various articles OF diet pre-
pared from it, and are especially
numerous in butter, in which they
remain alive for seven weeks with
out showing any diminution in viru-
hence.
1.-THE distribution OF tubercle
bacilli from tuherculous cattle In a
way to endanger human health is
not left to CHARGE. 1t Is a CONNER
cial, systematic distribution from
door to door, or rather from table
to table. AS long as the use of
tuberculous dairy cows is permit
ted the manner in which dairy
products are distributed will insure
that practically every member of
the human family Is exposed to
tuberculosis.
"As an evidence of the great
number of persons who have HAD
tuberculosis, | might say that three
European operators who had per-
formed post mortems on 2052 bod
les, dead from causes other than
tuberculosis. found evidences that
81 per cent of these persons had a.
some time In life had tuberculosis.
"A great deal of our tuberculosis
comes from the COW, and we ought
at least to protect our babies, II
nothing else; and our dairy herds
can be cleaned of tubercuous cows
by the proper application of the
tuberclin test and the segregation
of all reacting animals.
"The chamber of commerce
should go on record as favoring a
law, at our next legislature, for the
compulsory examination for tuber-
culosis of all dairy cows supplying
milk for sale to cities or towns. At
Tho proSapt time INV dairvman wh,.
makes application to the state to
have his cows tested by the state
officials can have 1t done without
any cost to HIMSELF but there
should be compulsory law forcing
all dairy herds to be tested. Our
diaries that have the tuberclin test
are the Glen 1'ana, Waikiki, Broad
view and Hazelwood."

PUTS IN PLEA FOR EVERY

Naturally Billy Sunday, the
evangelist, who will open a series
OF five weeks of special meetings
in Spokane Dec. 20, thinks prayer
is q good thing for everybody. In a
recent meeting he closed an elo-
quent prayer on behalf of the COM
munity in general with this appeal
for the man who sells liquor: n
And say. Hold on, Lard. Don't
forget the saloon keepers and the
bartenders and the brewers. Ihate
this cussed business. just despise
it from the top of my head to the
bottom of my feet. Every hair in
my head, every molecule, every
corpusle, nerve, tissue, vein, artery,
toe nail, finger nail, eyes, eye
lashes and every bit of gray mat
ter in my head. God, I hate the
whisky business, but I would like
to see the saloon keeper saved.
And the brewer, too, Lord. And .
Lord, help the gamblers to get out
of that business and hear us, God,
and save the girls down in the red
light district merchandising their
womanhood. God, 1t is an awful
business; help the poor girls down
there. And the booze fighters: God,
help them to get on the water
wagon. And the highway robbel
and the thief"

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, July 16.-A bulge in wheat prices
occurred during the final hour of trading and
was the result of active general demand for
all deliveries based chiefly on liberal purchases
of cash grain by millers of Kansas CITY and by
exporters at Toledo and New York. The upturn
was partly due, however. to advices from the
northwest which claimed that rains had not
been sufficient to relieve the drouth situation
in large part of the spring wheat country
During the early part Of the session the market
had been weak owing to improved weather for
the crop in the northwest. The close was
strong. with prices almost at the highest point
of the day. September opened &c lower to Kc
higher at 90Ac to 90ssc, sold of to s99kc and
then advanced TO 9lMc. The close was at
91Hc.
The corn market rather weak early in
the day. The market closed strong at nearly
the top price September opened &c to IL net
higher at 1850 TO 74l5c, sold of to 74c and
then advanced TO 75$4c. The close was at
1890.
Oats were weak at the outset because Of
rain and cooler weather in the northwest, but
became firm toward the end of the session in
sympathy with wheat and corn Sentember
opened Is @Ac lower at 42s4 6425sc. sold of to
42lsc and then advanced to 43A G43ssc. The
close at 42Lc.
Provisions strong on buying by local
