GOV. COSGROVE IMPROVING
The Governor-Eiect viii Be Able to Be
inaugurated in January

A dispatch to the daily press, dated
Dec. D., from Paso Robles, Cal, says:
"Governor-elect Cosgrove, of Wash
ington, was in excellent humor today
and deplored the fact that his ply
sicians would not let him eat turkey on
Christmas. He is improving con-
stantly and his appearance indicates
that he has gained much strength in
the last two weeks. Mrs. Cosgrove is
greatly relieved. The governor-elect
has become acquainted with other
guests at the hotel and spent last even
ing downstairs in the main parlor. The
mail and express have brought a num-
Der of packages from the north and it
is certain that the patient will have
many evidences of the good will that is
felt for him at home. But the substi-
tuition Of eggs and mush and milk for
plum pudding and turkey can not be
prevented, no matter how deplorable it
may seem. The doctors are firm on
this point, and they say the patient
cannot have even small piece of
Christmas candy"

WFNATCHfF VALLEY FRUIT CROP
Most Successful and Profitable Season in
the History of the Industry

The approximate value Of the fruit
grown in the Wenatchee valley tribu-
tary to the town of Wenatchee, and
marketed and shipped from that point,
is $350,OO0 The product of the val
ley in the vicinity of Cashmere is from
SIS, 900 to 100000. The balance of
the valley, including Monitor, Peshas-
tin and Leavenworth, will make, in
round numbers, $500,000 worth of
fruit for the entire valley.
Inside of three years these figures
will be easily doubled. The final dis
tribution Of money to members of the
Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers Asso-
citation, says a dispatch in the daily
press, is being made this week, placing
SIS, 1000 in the hands of the fruit
growers as their share of the seasons
business. While the price this year
did not equal that OF last year the sea-
son has been far more successful, and
the officers are highly pleased with the
prospects for the future.
President NJ o. Tibbits, of this asso-
citation, is attending the National Hor-
ticultural Congress at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, and has with him several fine ex-
hibits from this valley. The carload of
apples shown by M. Horan, which won
first prize at Spokane, will be on exhib-
ition there, as we'll as other prize ex-
hibits of the National Apple Show from

According to recent reports there are
4o8 shingle mills in this state with a
daily capacity Of producing So, $780, 900
shingles per day. In those mills there
are 1907 shingle machines. In an
average run of $50 days a year these
mills can turn out 1906, ,000,0 900
shingles, approximately $4,000 car
loads. But during 1907 the mills only
produced 4,443 carloads. Lack of rail-
road transportation is mainly the cause
of this great falling off in the produc-
ton of shingles in this state.

MORE HONORS ORVALLfY FRUIT
20 First Prizes Out of 22 Exhibits at Nat
iOnal Horticultural Congress

A dispatch from Council Bluffs, Iowa.
states that the apples exhibited at the
National Horticultural Congress last
week from Washington and Idaho
created the greatest astonishment.
The three greatest exhibits at the
congress by common consent were
those from Idaho, Washington and
Utah.
Not only have these states achieved
wonderful victory for the irrigated
section of the west, but they have
achieved the seemingly impossible fact
of making Iowa citizens balk at the
decision of the judges in favor Of their
own state on the great sweepstakes
award. Not a murmer has been heard
from the exhibitors OF any of the inter
mountain states, but people from
Council Bluffs and Iowa are heard on
every hand criticizing the report Of
the judges.
In the face OF this handicap Idaho
and Washington were only few points
behind Iowa, the home state of the
congress, for the sweepstakes, and
Utah, especially on the artistic ar
rangement of the display from that
state ranked high.
The Grand Prizes
The order of the state awards, with
the money value of each, follows:
First-Iowa, $500; second-Idaho,
SITS; third-Washington, 500; fourth
Utah, $50; ffth-Maryland, SIS.
In addition to this state competition
the western states succeeded in gain
ing two capital prizes in the contest on
county exhibits, as follows:
First-Canyon county, Idaho, 5000;
second-Chelan county, Wash, 500;
third-Iowa county, Iowa, $75; fourth
Polk county, Iowa, $50.
Chapman Plate Winner
Instances of the sweeping manner in
which western apples took both prizes
at the show in competition with the
exhibits of about half the states of the
Union, ranging from Maine to Oregon
and from Louisiana to Minnesota, are
numerous. B. M. Chapman of Wenat-
chez valley, Wash, secured 20 first
premiums on individual plate exhibits
out Of % plates entered, while Miss
Alta Fitch Of Payette, Idaho, won four
ribbons from six plates entered in the
individual competition.
Mr.. Chapman won the blue ribbon
also on the competition for the big
silver loving cup offered by Editor
James M. Irwin OF the St. Joseph Fruit
grower for the best three boxes of
jonathan apples. 1t was close race
between Mr.. Chapman and Captain ].
H. Shawhan Of Payette, Idaho, while
S. M. Johnson Of Argentine, Kan,
with his rain-raised product, was poor
third.
Mr. Chapman's first premium rib
bons were all on standard varieties and
in active competition with the best
apples shown from other states. The
first premiums were on Ben Davis,
Winesap, Northern Spy, Rome Beauty,
Grimes Golden, Gano, Missouri Pippin,
Rhode Island Greening, King, New
town Pippin, Yellow BellAower, De-
licious, Spitzenberg, Wolf River, Win
ter Banana, Senator, Arkansas Black,

George B. Duncan, veterinary sur
geon, was shot at by c. E. Barrows,
postal clerk in the postoffice about 4
o'clock last Friday morning, but for
tunately escaped injury, the bullets
lodging in the casing Of the delivery
window. Duncan is now in a cell at
the police station suffering from alco-
holism. The affair was caused by
drunkenness on the part of Duncan
and nervousness on the part of the
postal clerk, and by good fortune failed
to result in a tragedy. Duncan entered
the lobby of the postofice at an early
hour in the morning and made an
effort, apparently, to break through the
partition which shields the back part Of
the quarters where the mails are assorted.
Barows, who was on duty alone and
who had lively recollection of recent
stories OF hold-ups, most of which have
been exaggerated, was unaware what
Duncan was attempting, who he was OF
in fact anything about him except that
he appeared to be trying to break in.
He called for information, then called
a warning, but Duncan continued his
noise; then Barrows shot, afterward call
ing the police and handing his man over
to them.-North Yakima Republic.

The following account Of the
wreck is taken from the Plea
yune: + 'The Northeastern
train had stopped at Little
Woods, taken on three or four
passengers, and was just get
ting under way. According to
witnesses, there was a heavy
fog, and in addition Engineer
w. A. Blackburn Of the Great
Northern train was busy con-
versing in his cab with Emile
Heintz, also an engineer on the
Great Northern, who was riding
to the city on the Great North
ern engine with Engineer Black
burn and Fireman Peter Nc
Carthy.
1.-The Northeastern train con-
sisted of two empty dead head
passenger coaches in the rear,
a white coach, a combination
white and colored coach and a
baggage car. The Great North
ern train carried it's usual equip
ment Of baggage, two passenger
coaches and parlor car.
THE Great Northern's en-
CINE struck the rearmost empty
passenger coach with such terri
bic force that the engine drove
itself under the coach roof al
most to the front end of the car.
Fireman Peter Mccarthy, evil
IDENTIFY the first of the Great
Northern's crew to see the
Northeastern train, jumped
from the cab a few seconds be-
fore the impact. E. Heintz, the
engineer with whom Engineer
Blackburn was said to be con-
versing, also saw the Northeast
ern train before the impact, and
is said to have literally tumbled
out of the cab. Both he and
Mccarthy were injured by their
falls. Blackburn saw the North
eastern train a second or two
before it was struck, and had
time to reverse the lever, but
no tsme to jump. In conse-
quence he was carried with his
engine as it ripped the empty
passenger coach in two, but
niraculously escaped injury.
The second empty passenger
coach, known as coach No. 23O,
driven by the terrible force OF
= = the collision, crashed into the
3 rear end of passenger coach No,
i 343, in which there were twelve
e passengers. Caught between
: the coach No. 230, which actec
t as a battering ram, and The
