MARKET DAY WAS y SUCCESS.
Waitsbmg Elated With Triumph of
Her First Trial.

The Spokesman Review says of
Waitsburg's successful market day
The success which has attended the
of a market day at
Waitsburg. Wash, has been so great
that the experiment is to be followed
up and the plan extended, Several
thousand dollars worth of horses,
cattle, hogs and hay are reported to
have changed hands, and ranchers
from a large area of country around
the town were present. The interest
in the event seems to have been even
more than was expected. 1t was a
new experience in southeastern Wash
fngton, and one that was highly sat
isfactory.
waitsburg is congratulated on the
result of its effort to make that town
the result of its effort to pioneer in
good movement in its territory. The
market day plan is one that might be
successfully adopted in a number OF
places.
Getting buyers and sellers together
at one time. with live stock and diff
ferent articles of farm produce fol-
sal, creates a business center that
is advantageous to the town itself and
appreciated by those whom 1t brings
to town.

Oregon League Grows.

seventy-pine organizations are now
included in the oregon Development
league. the latest being the Oak Grove
Improvement association, and all the
active ones are working to secure new
people. The $40 rate from Winnepeg'
st. Paul, Kansas City and all the
middle west is. good on all railroads
from March / to April 80, with pro-
portionate rate from every station
in the United States and Canada
Every letter that goes out of oregon
ought to make mention of this, and
the fact that the low fare applies to
Ashland, Salem, Baker City, Astoria
or any other point in oregon just as
it does to Portland, but people must
ask for tickets to the point desired
when they buy them.

BANANA APPLES CHARM
some New Thingc About the Apple
That Is Becoming Favorite.

i
That Is Becoming a Favorite.
For the information of thoses who
have recently made inquiry concern
ing the Banana apple, of which va
riety only a few have been produced
in an experimental way, In the west
the following description is re-
printed from The Ranch, Seattle
publication:
"The Winter Banana is one of the
new apples and not extensively
known. 1t originated on the farm of
David Floy near Adamsbore. Cass
county. Indiana. about 1876. 1t was
first brought to public notice at Mon
roe. Michigan. i'm 1890. It is an un-
tried apple in most sections of the
United States, but seems to have CIV
en- better satisfaction in the Pacific
northwest than anywhere else.
I have not yet raised any of the
apples, but have some young trees
sent to me by Stark Bros, louisiana
Mo. I have also three or four trees
top-worked to this apple. / expect
some apples the coming summer. L
have seen the apple several times. II
is certainly beautiful apple and Is
growing In favor. 1t is large apple
its color is "clear pale yellow with
beautiful contrasted pinkish-red
blush. attractive in appearance, char
acteristically aromatic, of good des-
sert quality, but too mild in flavor
to excel for culinary purposes.
1t is not a long keeper its season
extending from october to January
and in rare cases. through the win
ter 1t keeps fairly well in cold stor-
age. but not as well as the Baldwin
1t is worthy of trial anywhere. But l
would not plant 1t extensively till
further tested. 1t is very tender ana
shows bruises very readily and cah
be shipped to distant markets only
with the utmost careful handling"

ings. But No ToWnslte Has been
Laid Out.
"A good, healthy and thriving town
though SO far nameless, is springing
I'D on the right of way of the chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
way. about ~ miles from Taft, or
midway between the main st. Joe,
where Pinchot is located, and Taft,
says the Lewiston Teller.
Already there are hotels, feed sta
bles, a slaughter house and several
other buildings in town and the for
estry officials has just received an
application from c. b. Peck and Geo,
b. Singleton for permission to erect
building and conduct a general mer-
chandise business at the place.
The ground is said to be held by
private individuals under quartz and
placer mining locations and tracts are
rented 10 the newcomers, though 1t
Is necessary to get a permit from the
government before engaging in busi-
mss on account of the sites being on
reserve.
As yet there have been no town
sites formally laid out along the Mil
waukee through the reserves, although
the local forestry officials have been
expecting petitions for this purpose.
The site at Pinchot is owned by a pri-
vate individual, and 1t is probable a
townsite will soon be laid out there,
though It is reported there will be
little room for the town after the side
tracks and railroad shops are erected.

Waltsburg Farmers Would Secure
Better Warehouse Facllities-Ap-
ply to Northern Pacific for Sites
and Switches for New Buildings
Ten or IL Warehouses VIII be Built
Near Waltsburg.

Representatives of the Farmers
union from Waitsburg were here yes
terday comforting with S. b. Calder
head, general freight and passenger
agent for the Northern Pacific rail-
way in this city. regarding the possi-
bilities of the railway company grant
ing them sites and switches for the
warehouses which they are contem-
pleting erecting In the Vicinity of
Waitsburg and Dayton during the
summer, says the Walla Walla Union.
The o. Il. & N. railway company
has agreed to do this along their lines
and II is probable the Northern Pa
cifc will grant similar concessions.
The matter has already been taken
up with the head officials of the COM
pany and an answer will be given In
few days.
The farmers do not wish to build
new warehouses IL they can buy or
lease the ones owned by the private
companies and in the event they can
do this It would not be necessary to
receive grants for sites and switch
privileges from the railway compa-
nies.
1t is likely, however, that the own
ers will not sell unless they are COM
PEELED to do so and in the event Of
such conditions the farmers intend
by securing sites and switches, to be

Interesting Notes From Various
Parts Of the State.
At BIG RALLY IN SIOUX CITY
William J. Bryan Denounced
Senators Du Pont
and PenrOse.

Addressing monster Democrat
tc rally at Sioux City Will
lam j. Bryan, Democratic candi-
date for the presidency. in the course
of speech on the tariff, guarantee
of bank deposits, the labor and trust
questions and governmental reforms,
denounced Coleman du Pont of Della
ware and Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania, members of the Republican ex-
ecutiye committee, as not being ex-
pected to become reformers because,
as he charged, of their affiliations
with the trusts. Especial attention
was given to the reform questions.
Having Travelled the entire night and
day through Minnesota and a part of
Iowa. where he received enthusiastic
receptions all along the line, Mr..
Bryan arrived at Sioux City about 8
p. m. From the rear platform of the
train at various points in both states,
he shook the hands of many hundreds
OF persons and made several talks.
but the chief of these was at Alton,
Ia, a junction point, at which he dis
cussed at some length the tariff and
the subject of guaranty Of bank de-
posits. He again charged Mr.. Taft
with not being satisfied with the Re-
publican platform and with being
forced to continually amend it.

fashionable residential part of the
city-to Mr.. Wei Yuk's handsome
marble residence Ito say palace would
be no misnomer) which is called Brae
side. The explanation for this name
is that Mr.. Wei Yuk learned his Eng
lish (Which he speaks exquisitely) in
Edinburgh, at whose university he was
graduated, being the first Chinese
child ever sent out of China to be edu-
Gated. His house was very English
in Its appointments, and there were
truly Chinese apartments, but we saw
only the drawing room and dining
room, which were very English in
deed. There were present, beside the
host and hostess, their two daughters,
two sons, niece, Mrs. Wei Yuk's
brother and brother-in-law, and few
English and Americans. Mrs. Wei
Yuk spoke no English, but was very
gracious and charming and entirely
without the reserve l expected to find
in native Chinese. Mr.. McAran told
me she was an example of the very
highest type Of Chinese lady. She
was large woman, tall and stout, and
her feet, about four inches long and
two wide, were encased in little satin
shoes of color that ladies would call
cerise, and embroidered and sewn
