NATIONAL APPLE SHOW
OPENS AT SPOKANE MONDAY

Spokane, Wash, Dec. THE ap-
pie is the greatest fruit in the world
and the northwestern corner Of the
United States is the greatest place
in the world to grow it in, if the
people gathered here today to wit
ness the opening of the national ap-
pie show are to be believed Their
belief seems to be justified by the
many splendid specimens of fruit
placed on exhibition.
Months ago the projectors of the
show, aided by the Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce, induced the ma
tional government to issue invita-
lions to foreign countries to send
here their best specimens Of the ap-
pie. The object was the bringing
together at one time of the standard
varieties of apples grown for COM
mercial purposes throughout the
world for the purpose of COMPARE

Buys Canal Transports.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 8.-The
steamers Shawmut and fremont,
now at Seattle, have been purchased
by the Isthmian Canal Commission
from the Boston Navigation Com
pany, to be used in transporting sup
plies tor the Panama canal.
For this purpose last year Con-
gress appropriated $1,50O,OOO. The
price paid for the steamers is ST.
157,3O1, which the owners say is 33
per cent less than the. vessels cost
Ave and six years ago. The vessels
are to be delivered at New YORK
without cost to the government.
These vessels will be used for car
rying supplies to the canal end later
will be turned over to the navy fof
service as GOLFERS. The government

penditure of public funds.
There will be a river and harbor
bill. In addition to the appropriation
bill which are enacted at every ses-
sion. and this one measure will prob.
ably carry $75.OOO,OOO or more.
The very fact that there is not a
superabundance of money in the
treasury will be given as a reason
for cutting down appropriations for
river and harbOr work below the
amounts asked for by the army en-
gineers. This means that the dele
cations from the Pacific Coast states
will have their hands full getting
adequate recognition for the water
ways of the Coast.
Fortunately. Representative Jones
of Washington is on the house rivers
and harbors committee, where he

ment of an assay Office at Portland.
But the economical streak that will
be manifest throughout the session
will probably kill off this bill and all
like It.
In connection with the river and
harbor bill, the Oregon representa-
tives will endeavor to secure an ap-
preparation for the purchase of the
canal and locks at Oregon City. Bills
introduced for this purpose last ses-
sion were told to wait until river

The FireleSS Cooker.

Wonders never cease and the Fireless
Cooker which will be demonstrated at
the Woman's Club Monday afternoon is
not new to all our readers, some of
whom have successfully used it at home
and in their summer camps. The process
of cooking is based on the successful ap-
plication of the principle of retained heat
and saves 80 per cent of the fuel now
used in cooking.
After FIVE to % minutes of initial heat
ing the Fireless Cooker does the rest
while you wait in from one-half hour to
FIVE hours according to the food desired.
1t eliminates much of the drudgery of
housework, is simple and safe to use and
does not require watching St. Johns
bury housekeepers will be especially in
terested in the demonstration of this
most useful invention.

THE CHESTNUT

THE Redemption, pronounced by all
who have read the manuscript as one OF
the most powerful dramas of recent years,
will be given it's first production on any
stage by the Orpheum players at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
this week. This drama is the work of a
Philadelphia, a professional man who,
for the present, desires his name withheld
from the public. 1t is his first effort, and,
if his future work is as good as his be
ginning, the prediction is made that be-
fore long he will be fanked as one Of the
countrY's greatest dramaLists. -Four years
he devoted to the construction of his play.
THE Redemption" is drama with pur
seriously and in the same light as a ser
mon. stage and pulpit are often allied in
the upliftment of mankind, and in Its
sphere each has accomplished much that
has proved good and beneficial. A good
play teaching a wholesome truth or ex-
pounding new theory is as effective as a
good sermon. "Fhe Redemption" is not
problem drama in the accepted detini-
ton of that term, its motif is not a
struggle with a question of sexes; it does
not deal with the rights of man and
woman. On the contrary, the theme con
Germs a whole people, nation, even the
entire universe. The play is said to be
a powerful sermon, written in dramatic
form

Political Notes

Maurice B. Comfort has been officially
notified of his appointment as postmaster
at Moorestown, and will probably take
possession of the Office this week
Several of the friends of Joseph L.
Hilton, of Moorestown, are urging him to
become a candidate for Sheriff on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Hilton has not
yet been tempted.
Assemblyman John B. Trick has an
nounced his intention of again being a
candidate for Member of the Assembly.
This is somewhat out of the ordinary
course as three years has generally been
considered the limit for legislative SER
vice except under extraordinary circum-
stances.
One of the last acts of the Legislature
was to confirm the appointments of mem
bers of the County Boards of Taxation.
Governor Fort did not send the names of
the appointees to the Senate until it be
came apparent that the Boards were to be
continued Senator Silzer had introduced
a bill to abolish them but did not press
its passage.
George N. Winner has been reappointed
a member of the Burlington County Board
of Taxation and will now begin three
years service Mr.. Winner has been
useful member of the Board and his re-
appointment will be acceptable to all.
with the possible exception of few who
would not be satisfied with any one who
studies the law and compels its strict en-
forcement. That Mr.. Winner has been
appreciated was verified by the fact that
there was no opposition to his being con-
tinued in Office
The Civil Service Commission bill,
which was supposed to have been killed
in the House of Assembly, suddenly bob
bed up during the last hours of the
session, and was carried. A canvass of
the members had secured sufficient mum
Der to ensure the bill being adopted and
it was hurried through to the surprise of
many who had supposed it was laid to
permanent rest. Among those who voted
in favor of the measure was Assembly
man Trick. When the bill was first pre-
sented Mr.. Trick was decidedly against it,
and denounced it as an unnecessary and
measure. The reason for his
change Of opinion has not been made
public.
