Brownsville Has Been Abused.

When asked about Brownsville
and the trouble with the Negro
troops, Father Quinn said:
Poor Brownsville has been sadly
abused. The whole world now be-
lieves that Brownsville is a wild and
woolly western frontier town, where
a man must carry his life and a six
shooter in his hand Such is not
the case, however, even if Mr.. For
aker and Roosevelt did give it I'M
bounded advertising. I will venture
to state that no city of the North is
higher in its intellectual attainment
than is Brownsville. There are
many northern people living there
and many who have been educated
abroad. Society there is high class
and one will find there as highly
artistic and moral entertainments as
he will in any city of the North"

NATIONAL APPLE
DAY TODAY
THIS is THE DAY DESIGNATED
BY THE HORTICULTURAL AS
SOCIATIONS OF THE q. S. TO BE
OBSERVED TO HONOR APPLE.

Today is National Apple Day and
in a great many places in the United
States it is being fittingly observed
This is the fifth annual observance
Of Apple Day and through it's OBJ
servance it is very obvious that in
tense interest in the fruit has been
manifested. When the National APP
pie Day was finally fixed for the third
Tuesday in October of each year it
was thought that by the use of ap-
pies nj different ways on this day and
special exercises in the schools that
an additional campaign would be in
augurated which would prove very
beneficial to the great apple indus
try. In the state of Washington,
where the apple industry amounts to
millions of dollars Apple Day has
never been generally observed, but
growers who have expressed them
selves on the matter today state that
next year arrangements will be made
whereby Wenatchee valley will pay
special tribute to the big red apple.

$500 FOR
EXHIBIT
PRESIDENT OF G. N. THROUGH
EFFORTS OF AGENT PIPER
WILL GIVE $500 CASH FOR En-
HIBIT AT CHICAGO CONGRESS.

President Louis w. Hill of the
Great Northern railway, has pledged
$500 towards making the carload ex-
hibit of apples at the United States
Land & Irrigation Congress in Chi
cago November 20 to December 4.
The commercial club some time ago
decided on making the exhibit at that
place and sought to secure help from
the president of the Great Northern.
All efforts were fruitless until word
came Saturday morning that Mr.. Hill
had pledged himself for $500. The
commercial club feels that the ad-
vertising that will be received from
this exhibit at Chicago will be very
advantageous and the help from Mr.
Hill is very timely.

quake and fire, San Francisco is max
