vice president of the organizations:
ct appreciate very highly the COM
pliment paid to the railroad that I
represent and paid to me individual
~. I agree thoroughly with the views
expressed by Louis w. Hill that the
Office of president should not be held
by the same man each year. This for
the reason that I think it enlarges
the scope of the apple show to have
different people occupy the honorary
position of president and do what
they can to advance the cause.
II shall be glad to do what l can
to advance the interests of the ap-
pie growers of the northwest and of
Spokane, which is taking such a lead
ing and effective part in the develop
ment of an industry which will mean
much to Washington, Idaho, Oregon
and Montana"
Mr.. Hill was reelected president at
meeting of the board of trustees
early in June, but after consideration
he declined the Office In the belief
that it would be for the good of the
enterprise to elect representative of
another interest as head Of the COM
ing show. Part of his letter to Mr..
Won Dicco1 foIIou.
Il think also it would be a good
idea to make change in the presi-
dency each year, and 1 would suggest
that for the coming year Howard Ell
lott would be desirable man to act
as president of your show. While it
is true he is very busy man, be-
lieve he would realize the Importance
of the work and will bea BILE to give
1t such attention as it will require
from him.
II sincerely believe in the theory
of each year making a change in the
presidency, as it will retain a feeling
of harmony and do away with a feel
ing that some one crowd wish to
keep a hold on the show to give the
particular districts in which they are
interested better representation and
showing"
Mr.. Van Dissel said that the trus-
tees of the National Apple show deep
ly appreciate the sacrifices Mr. Hill
made last year in accepting the pres
idency of the organization and while
they keenly regret that he can not
serve another year they are mindful
of the position he takes in suggesting
making change each year in the
chief executive Office, adding:
eve realize that much of the sue
cess Of the National Apple show de-
ponds upon the personnel of it's Of
ficers, and as the first show was such
an unqualified success in exploiting
the apple as food and fruit, and at
the same time bringing the products
Of the northwest to the fore, the
trustees unanimously decided to ten
der the office of president to Mr..
Hill for the ensuing year. Since he
himself offers a solution. though de-
clining the Office, we believe we are
fortunate in securing the support
and cooperation of Mr.. Elliott, who
on many occasions has expressed his
interest in the northwest"
Rem H. Rice, secretary of the or
ganization. announces that the COM
petitions in the classes, ranging from
$1,000 for the best car exhibit to 81
for the best single fruit, will be free
and open to all, the plan being to
have a sufficiently wide variety to
make worlds exposition, in which
every exhibitor will have chance in
the awards. Pomologists of national
reputation will be judges of the ex-
hibits. He added:
"It will be the purpose of the Of
ficials of the National Apple show to
arrange for the cooperation of the
growers and handlers OF the CONT
nent and the entire world at the COM
ing exposition, each for it's own good
and all for the good of the whole, to-
ward the betterment of the apple IN
dustry. which, experts say, Is des-
tined to become the leader in wealth.
production of the northwest.
"The primary purposes of the ex-
position are to adjust the growers
and handlers to the fact that the ap-
