Lonesome Linthicum and | sat in
comfortable leather chairs before the
open fireplace in the club rotunda.
The talk had been OF Paradise
Paradise, Arizona, where Lonesome
had spent some years as cow-punch-
or and miner before he made his
stake. In his hand was letter from
Big Bill Jernigan, an old comrade OF
those days, now known as the Hon.
William Jernigan, member OF con-
gress from the sovereign state of
Montana. Lonesome was reminiscent,
and when oLnesome is reminiscent 1t

and give heed. | knew my cue, and
this story was my reward.
The Hon William Jernigan! Think
of it, Old long-legged Big Bill Jerni-
gan. Well, there's heaps worse at
Washington. Did | ever tell you about
the time Bill and | made faces at each
other? No? 1t happened at Paradise.
You remember what Saturday was at
Paradise Town full of punchers and
miners, the punchers and miners full
of liquor and devilment, and the bar
tenders full of business. Pill and |
had been up all night, bucking Three
Fingered Pete's faro game, and were
far from well. Bill made the bets and
] played lookout for us. Things broke
bad, and along about ten o'clock in
the morning we quit and were stand
ing at the bar Bill had crouch on
more than a foot thick, and at that
/ think mine had his beat block. So
1t was just perfectly natural that moth
ing either of us said would suit the
other | expressed desire for corned-
beef hash and red pepper for break
fast, and what Bill said about my
gastronomic ideas was scandalous.
Then Bill said he saw a fellow in a
stock company in Denver the winter
before that was a better actor than
Edwin Booth. never knew Edwin
Booth, but l resented Bills slur on
his memory most deeply. Finally Bill
said he could rope, throw and tie
more steers in ten minutes than any
man in Arizona. and that settled it.

MADE A.-Y.-P. FAIR SUCCESS
James A. Wood, of Seattle, Director
of Exploitation.

1t is conceded by experts VINO
have made the matter OF exposltlons
their life work, that the A.-Y.-P.
Exposition has been as we'll and as
wisely advertised as any great Ialr
ever held in this country or Europe.
The success of an exposition is to
great extent judged by its attend
ance. According to present estl-
mates about four million people Will
have attended the A.-Y.-P. up to the
time of closing, October lt. Inc
man largely responsible for thls
great attendance is James A. Wood,
who has filled the position of dlrec-
tor of exploitation Mr.. Wood is
Seattle newspaper man, VINO lot
many years prior to his present work
occupied positions Of responsibility
with leading newspapers in Seattle
and other cities of the Northwest.
When he took over the publicity
work of the exposition seven months
PRIOR 10 the opening d u uC eiA0
complaint was widespread that the
fair had not been we'll advertised.
Hundreds of prominent Seattle peo-
pie returned from trips throughout
the United States with the complaint
that they had heard nothing OF the
coming exposition during their traV-
els. They had made inquiry every
where, had visited railroad offices
and other public places Of informa-
ton seeking literature about the fair
but no information was to be OBJ
tanned, no literature to be had. The
exposition people at home admitted
the truth Of the charge.
Within one week after Mr.. Wood
succeeded to the position of director
of exploitation the wheels Of pub

1t was an apple, so tradition
SAYS, which was the forbidden fruit
which so tempted Adam and Eve
that they fell from their high es-
state. We do not know whether
apples grew on the tree mentioned
in the Bible, but so common &C
ceptation tells us. 1t was a golden
apple which was the appropriate
prize for beauty when the Greek
goddesses We'd with each other for
the beauty award at the hands Of
Paris. Scandinavian legends had
it that when their gods felt their
powers failing they ate apples

licity were moving. Mr.. Wood was
not experienced in the matter of
bringing to the attention of the
world a new Exposition. But he
adopted common sense methods, in
duced every resident of Seattle to
become a publicity agent for the Ex-
position, and Immediately every let
ter, every pamphlet, which went out
of Seattle bore the A.-Y.-P seal,
and tucked inside the letters was in
teresting literature concerning the
coming fair. Then he introduced
throughout the Northwest the slO-
gan What helps Seattle helps the
Northwest': commercial clubs and
other public bodies as we'll as indi-
vidual citizens took up the cry; all
became boosters and in short time
hundreds of thousands of advertis-
ing pamphlets were going into every
nook and corner of the United States
as we'll as Canada, Europe and the
Orient.
Returns soon showed that Wood S
campaign had been effective. East
ern passenger agents wrote and
wired that they had all the people
they could possibly care for; they
were no longer concerned about the
number of westbound passengers;
what they needed was equipment to
haul them Then came June l.
opening day-with close to one hun
dred thousand people in attendance.
Since that time the average attend
ance has been close to 10000 That
put the stamp OF success on the ex-
position, also on the work of James
A. Wood.

Apples on Non.Irrieated Land

Fortunes are being made by men
,,.ho know the business Of growing
,ioh grade commercial apples on
nou-irrigated land in the Inland
Fmpire. From Moscow, Idaho,
this season at least 100 carloads OF
birh grade apples will be shipped,
=, addition to extensive carload
.hipments of prunes and pears.
From non-irrigated orchards
ground Troy, Idaho, it is estimated
that from 25 to so cars of choice
winter apples will be shipped.
krrtcheck Brothers, who own a
U-acre apple orchard near Troy,
expect to pack over 1000 boxes, and
refused an offer of S1.1O a box for
their apples on the tree. The
country around Troy is being
brought under a high state of pro-
ductveness by the thrift and in
dustry of large colony of Swedish
farmers, many of whom have small
commercial orchards and are max.
ing big profits.
Land suited to apple growing
can be bought in the Palouse and
potlatch country around $50 an
acre. and extensive areas of cut
over timber lands that are unsur-
passed for fruit growing can be
purchased for few dollars an acre
The opportunity for engaging in
apple growing on non-irrigated
land appeals to many in preference
to irrigated tracts. They reason
that by acquiring 100 acres OF non.
irrigated land they can start a
young orchard of 10, 20 or 40 acres
and have the use of the rest of theil
land to yield them living while
the orchard is coming into bearing

After driving one of the hardest
bargains ever made by the postoffice
department, the Great Northern
hallway has received four-year
contract to carry the mails between
st. Paul and Seattle. The specified
time is 473 hours, or Is hours less
than has been consumed up to
date. This will give the Northwest
three and half day service from
New York City. All transconti-
mental lines were bidders for this
contract, as it is worth $4,000 900.
The shortened time will prove a
great benefit to business men
everywhere. The railway company
binds itself to maintain the SEIZED
ule summer and winter, a heavy
penalty being provided for tardi'
ness. The fast mail train consists
of three mail coaches and two ex'
press cars. The service was inau.

On the stroke of midnight, Sat-
urday, Oct. 16, the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition will close its
gates for good. The attendance
has been revelation, surprising
all expectations and coming within
hailing distance of the 100000
mark. The last month has held
up the average and largely because
the closing attractions have been
better in class than those which
went before. It is fitting that the
stock show should have proved an
unqualified success. Competent
authorities pronounce it the best
stock show seen in the United
States since the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton in 1904. The high rank thus
attained is due to the thorough
ganlZatlOn OF j. w. elise, who had
charge Of the arrangements. There
was no great flourish OF trumpets
in advance, but when the stock
show opened it made good and
achieved reputation for Mr.. elise.
He has thereby done more to arouse
interest in high grade horses, cat
tie, swine, sheep and other domes-
ticated animals than any other man
in the Northwest. No more fitting
finale for the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc
Exposition could have been de-
vised.

Diking matters are slowly ap-

missioner A O. Onesrud has had an
engineer at work all week, survey
ing for a dixie to protect the Jones
Il Onesrud farm. Teams and
equipment were assembled to begin
work at once upon completion OF
the survey; but it was found that
dixie over mile long and II feet
high was required to dixie this farm
alone, and Mr.. Onesrvd thought
the cost too great. The teams and
contractors, Aiger & Douglas, were
discharged and went out this morn
ing. Mr.. Onesrud will now depend
upon the public dixie of district

Apple Show to Have Two Bands

Fifty-two bandsmen will furnish
the musical programs at the second
National Apple Show in Spokane,
Nov. Is to 20, also heading two
parades daily during the week.
The largest organization is the Ma
tional Apple show band of 80
pieces, under the direction OF A. G..
Reemer, which scored an instan-
taneous hit at the first exposition
last November. The Knights Of
Pythias band of 20 pieces also has
been engaged. This band has been
heard on various occasions, meet
ing with favor at all times. The
National Apple Show band will be
stationed in the armory, where a
new stand will be erected, while
the Pythian band will be in the
main exposition hall.
"Probably this is the largest
combined band that has ever been
heard in this part of the north
west" said Rem H. Rice, secretary
manager of the show. "and we ex-
pect this will be big feature dur
ing the week.

board of judges by the engagement
of w. J. Green. of Wooster. chief
of the department of horti-

35 years in promoting the interests

eve are pleased with the way
entries are coming in and [ believe
the displays will be larger and
more representative than those at
the first show, the reason for this
being that the growers realize the
advantages to be gained from ex-
hibits, especially prize winning
ones at the coming exposition. We
shall have entries from practically
every commercial district in the
country, including the valleys in
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Oregon; also a big showing from
the province Of British Columbia
and probably frem other points in
Canada.
"Our correspondence files show
that growers and handlers all over
the country, as well as many in
Europe, are awake to the fact that
the apple is a staple product and
that, because of the widespread ex-
ploitation during the last two years
the markets at home and abroad
are widening rapidly. They real
ize, too, that prices for apples OF
color, size and flavor are advanc-
ing, and that the consumers are
ready and willing to pay for clean
and wholesome fruit; also that the
demand was never as great as al
present, and that such thing as
overproduction is out of the ques-
ton"
