In 10 stops in two days this Fruit
Train reached over 1000 people on the
finest trip which ever took place in
institute work. The audiences, insti-
tute instructors and railroad men
were all enthusiastic over the success
of this, the first Fruit Train. Not a
minute was lost at stop. Into the
town exactly on time came the train.
In moment one of the lecturers had
the crowd gathered around the rear
platform, and the institute was under
way. When the time of departure ar
rived. away went the train with the
lecturer shouting the answer to a last
question by farmer who perhaps fol-
lowed the train 100 feet down the
track to get this parting bit of infor.

everyone with the spirit and enthusi-
assn of the occasion that even the col

started on it's second days run.

ganda for the replacing of extensive

The leading position which the
State of Washington holds in the fruit
business has again been demonstrate
ed In the last week of March the
first Fruit Demonstration train ever
run in the country travelled over the
lines of the Inland Empire System.
The train was also notable as being
the first Demonstration Train ever
run over an electric line. The rail-
road company put up the entire ex-
penses of the trip, so the state got
fine series of Farmers Institutes free.
The Palouse country, through the
heart of which this railroad runs, has
been for many years considered
wheat country. Recently many farm
ers have realized that its deep black
soil and mild climate make it an ideal
place for winter apples, and orchards
are now springing up on every hand.
1t was with the object of preaching
the gospel of fruit raising that this
Fruit Train invaded the wheat region.
The train ran from Colfax to Spring
Valley Junction and then to Palouse
the first day. On the second day 1t
went from Pa1ouse to Spokane and
then out to Occur d'Alene, Idaho, thus
covering the 200 miles of the Inland
Empire Railway System.
The train consisted of President
Graves private car and one OF the
roads spacious observation cars. The
large rear platform of the observation
car was prepared for the lecturers.
Here were placed the cases of injuri-
Gus insects, the charts, the blackboard
and other illustrative material. Here
also was large Bean Magic hand
spray pump fully equipped and with
two extension rods, one with Yer
morel and the other with Bordeaux
nozzle.
The party of speakers consisted Of
w. S. Thornber, Horticulturist; Prof.
A. L. Melander, Entomologist, and
Professor r. Kent Beattie, Botanist of
the Washington State College and Elk
pertinent Station; Mr.. G. l.. Smith,
Industrial Agent of the Inland Empire
Railway, and also Farmers Institute
lecturer of many years experience,
and Mr.. John s. Hughes, an expert on
the canning of fruit, the latter being
the manager and presiding officer of
each institute.
General Passenger Agent Waldo G.
Paine represented the Railway Sys-
tenn and managed the train. He had
) with him J. H. Lothrop, General
Freight Agent, and party of railroad
men as guests seeking to learn the
value of this new method of develop
ing the country.
The stops made by the train were
short-usually being 20 or 80 minutes.

use of sulphur-lime wash to combat
the apple scab.
Professors Beattie and Melander
would then show with the spray pump
what it means to spray with low and
high pressure. Running the pump at
80 pounds and then at 200, it was evil
dent to every farmer that a much
better spray could be produced by the
higher pressure. Running the Yer
morel and the Bordeaux nozzles side
by side made it very clear why the

NOT ALL OLDS SOLDIERS
Says Leland Won't Get Them
as Claimed.
Situation Looks Encouraging if
Vote Gets Out.

w. r. Stubs returned this morning
from western Kansas, and in conversa-
tion with a State Journal reporter
sized up the political situation as fol-
lows:
Its just the same way in eyery
county 1 visit; 1 am getting so that
I know just about what to expect The
little group in each town or county
which has been getting the railway
passes and running the politics is
against me, and fighting for Leland;
the farmers are almost solid for me.
Leland's strength will be in the towns,
where the politicians have their hang
ers on and workers under better disci-
pline.
1.-The issue is clearly drawn; people
understand just what Mr.. Leland
stands for and what 1 stand
for. I am not making a personal fight
of this; 1 do not refer to either Mr..
Leland or Mr.. Bailey in my speeches.
Only once have l mentioned Mr.. Le-
lands name, and that was incidentally
and in a complimentary manner 1 be-
Heve the people of Kansas don't care
for personalities. have instructed the
people here at my headquarters to
send out nothing rejecting on Mr.. Le-
lands personal character. A mans
political record is for the public; I am
willing my own record be subject to
scrutiny, and I shall claim the same
privilege for others.
nope MI Bailey Will keep on max
ing speeches against me. If he will
continue to make speeches as he has
been doing, I would be willing to pay
all his expenses from now till the pri-
mary. I might make the same propo-
sition to P. H. Coney.
Mr.. Leland is not going to get the
solid vote of the old soldiers, as he
claims. I have found post after post
where nearly all the members are for
me.
"I regard the only question in this
contest to be whether the vote gets
out at the time of the primary 1t
will be easier for Mr.. Leland to get
out his vote than for me, because he
has a splendid political organization.
There never was a better political or
ganization in the state than that
which Mr.. Leland has formed and If is
working right along the regular politi-
cal lines. My friends will have to re-
alize that they must get out and vote
without being pulled out by a machine
THE situation looks most encourag gin@
to me. I am enjoying the work of sneaIt
ing. 1 think should have been a travel
ing salesman, or something of that SORT
it agrees with me so well to be on Tho

FOR FANCY PRICES.

Laporte. May 30.-The auction sale of
the personal property left by Mrs. Belle
Guinness was attended by between A.
600 and 5000 persons. Many of the ar
ticles brought five and ten times their
cost price 1t is estimated that the to-
tai receipts were more than three times
what they would have been at ordinary
sale. The postal card venders and
takers and lunch stand owners did a
thriving business.
At one time during the day more
than 500 rigs were tied about the farm.
The greatest interest centered in the
sale Of a horse driven by Mrs. Guinness
before the fire, the pony and cart dri-
ven by the Guinness children and a
shepherd watch dog. All of these were
secured by local people and all brought
fancy prices. the dog alone selling for
$40.

IDEAL WEATHER.
No Danger of It Reaching Flood
Stage However.

The weather conditions are ideal
today for the memorial services which
are being held throughout the length
and breadth OF the land and this is the
exception, for during the past twenty
years rain has fallen on nine similar
occasions in Topeka. A IL mile-an-
hour wind has prevailed from the
west since early morning and the sun
has shown brightly. The forecast in
dicates an unsettled weather condition
Sunday with a rise in the tempera-
lures of the day.
The river has been steadily rising
for the past "a hours and at o'clock
this morning registered 14.2 feet, the
record for this season. Weather
Observerd Jennings expects that the
rise will continue for q number of
hours though slowly and 1t is possible
that the entire rise will amount to a
foot or Is inches but not more.
This is caused by the rise in the
river at Manhattan where the Blue and
numerous smaller tributaries empty
into the Kaw. The heavy rise occurred
during the night and there is not the
least danger that the water will reach
anywhere the danger mark. The banks
of the stream will accommodate rise
of eight feet before the water will leave
the bed Of the stream at this point.

ness.
There is very little interest in politics
down in my county," said Judge Dale. 1T
looks now as though the Democrats would
nominate either Botkin or Ryan. Botkin
will have strong support from the Sedg-
wick county Democrats, because he is
well known there.
I'm regard to the fight between Stubbs
and Leland there does not seem to be
much interest down in Sedgwick. It looks
to me as though the outcome of that fight
depends i'll large measure on whether the
vote gets out. A light vote will be favor
able to Leland, because his strength lies
in the towns and cities, which will vote
heavily regardless of what the country
does
Wyatt Roush, member of the legislature
from Wabaunsee county, is in Topeka to-

MAKE SERIOUS CHARGES

The village Of Powers Lake in the

decidedly spicy divorce case to Keno
sha county at the coming term of the
Circuit Court. The suit has been fled
by Rudolph Nummerdor against his
wife, Hattie Nummerdor, and in his
complaint he makes very serious
charges against the wife. He charges
her with having illegal relations with
Clarence Bretz and alleges that these
relations led to her leaving his home
and going to the home Of Bretz on the
nrst Of July. The case is to be tried
at the September term Of the Circuit
Court. AS yet the defendant has not
fled an answer to the charges made by
the husband.
