NEAR BULL Fight Was
PULLED OF AT RYDER
INDIANS AND STEER IN PECUl
lar CEREMONY At A cELE-
"'A BRATioN,
Game Was Compared to Mexican Bull
Fieht-Many Disgusting Features
Connected With Killing.

The Mexican bull fight seems to
have been approached in a recent eel
ebration at Ryder, where a large num-
Der of Indians participated. The
Plaza paper, whose representative
was present, thus describes the
event:
killing the steer, created about as
much excitement as the horse race
A stake was driven in the ground and
the steer anchored to this by means
of long rope. Then the animal was
started on the run, the rope and stake
maintaining a circle. The beast was
urged to it's utmost speed by switch
es in the squaw's hands and knives in
the bucks hands. After getting the
animal thoroughly aroused, one big
buck proceeded to knife it by raining
an ugly looking toad sticker about a
foot long into the animals heart
After the killing the Indians chal.
lenged the pale-faces to pick two men
to compete with two of the Indians
in skinning the steer the first through
to have the critter. The pale-faces
would not accept the challenge. After
SHINING, the carcus was cut I'D for
distribution. In cutting the steer it
was noticeable that the Indian was an
expert on its anatomy. He followed
the trend OF the muscles with long
practiced swiftness, separating the
different portions and cutting with
accuracy the binding tissues of the
joints. When the steer was all cary
ed one fine big brave took his stand
over the animal and spoke for several
minutes to the tribe in the circle. At
the conclusion Of his speech a squaw
advanced and picked up a huge piece
OF meat in one hand and went to
her tepee; at the call of the sentinel.
others followed until the animal was
all given out.

A Pledge That Was Freely Given ane

1t is related of certain candidate
for office in q certain Kansas campaign
that he billed himself for speech in a
southern Kansas town on u certain
October day and wrote ahead to q
number Of friends there to give him
tips"
One of them told him to see GER

the town. "If you can get the vote OF
this negro" wrote the friend. You can
get the vote Of the whole negro popu-
lation in this town. Don't fail to sec
LIN and get him to your way of think.

About the first thing the candidate
did after registering at the hotel was
to look up this negro. 1t was only q
little while after the introduction that
he was calling the negro by his given
name, filing his pockets with cigars
passing him compliments and general
ly giving him the taffy." The negro
took it all and enjoyed the occasion
Immensely. The candidate spent sew
eral hours in the negroes company and
after he thought the proper degree Of
warmth had been obtained preached
the real object Of his friendship:
"Say. John. l want the negro vote of
this town."
''An right" replied John. "I'n vote

STEALING A SIGN.

II Was Not Sustained.

Stealthily the policeman stole out
from behind the side door Of the ga.

as some Of the boys bumped it into

against the wall.
1--WE did not steal it." spoke up one
of the youths; I'VE only borrowed it."
The sergeant turned to the cop and
told him to call up the owner and find
out what the true state of the case
was. The policeman read the sign
phone book to look up the owner.
Hello! Did you lose sign?" And
the answer made the policeman
scratch his head.

looked very uncomfortable.
1T is all right" he said. scowling at
the youths. 1.-THE owner says they
rented the sign for the night and are
to return it tomorrow morning when
he is ready to do business again.
A shout went up from the youths as
they were ordered out Of the station,

ing a metallic sheen. which may be
seen fitting about sandy places during

has followed the bee through a won
derful course of digging. The work is
done by females. and its primary OBJ
iect is to provide protected cells in
which the young are bred. The bee
makes a tunnel quarter of an inch in
diameter. which after starting for Il
few inches on a slope runs straight
down into the ground. At the depth OF
a foot or more short lateral tunnels are
driven. and at the ends of these are
formed the breeding cells. Having pro-
vided for her young. the bee ''eontin-

APPLES OF THE NORTHWEST.
Enormous Crop Purchased For Eastern
and European Markets.

Enormous Crop Purchased For Eastern
and European Markets.
Contracts have been closed in Spo-
kane, Wash, by an eastern firm for
more than 100000 worth of Washing
ton and Oregon apples for eastern and
European trade, and the purchaser ex-
poets to reach the $1,OO0,O00 mark be-
fore returning home after looking over
the orchards in central Idaho and
western Montana. While in Spokane
be bought the entire output of first
and second grades grown in the Mead
ow lake orchards. estimated at 10000
boxes, previous to which he contracted
for 10000 boxes in the Hood river and
Mosier districts in Oregon, buying
also $4,000 boxes from the Dumas or
chards at Walla Walla, Wash, and
$4,000 boxes from the orchards at Gar
field, Wash.
The purchaser said the prices receiv-
ed by the growers in the Hood river
district were the highest ever paid for
their fruit. His purchases there ag-
gregated more than 100000, and he
paid as high as $3.50 box, or 5 cents
pound. He also paid $3.50 and in
several instances $2.75 box for
Washington apples of the first grade.
Much Of the superiority of the west
ern apple over the product of the New
York districts is in the picking and
packing. Growers fully understand
these advantages, and that is where
they are wise Their fruit is picked
ripe and carefully graded and honestly
packed, the result being that buyers
are pleased.
There is not the least danger that
the growers in the northwest will over
do the apple industry. They could
not do that even by doubling or
trebling the present orchard area. The
apple crop of the United States was
about 100000 barrels in 1896, and in
no year since then has it amounted to
more than 100000 barrels The pres
ent crop will not reach that figure.
When it is considered that the pop
ulation of the United States has in
creased probably by 100000 since
1896. while the apple production has
fallen from 67,O0o,OO0 to 35,000.000 bar
rels, it can be readily seen that it is
out Of question to think that the apple
growers in Washington. Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Colorado can oversupply
the ever increasing market.
