PASSING EVENTS

Transcending, in the worldwide at
tention it attracted, any other event In
recent years, came last week the news
story of the discovery of the North
Pole. For more than five centuries
has the quest of this geographical
point engaged the attention of scien
fist and adventurer: life has been
sacrificed and money has been poured
out lavishly inthe search; in instances
the endeavor has been prompted solely
by spirit of adventure: in other
cases commercialism and its desire
for a short cut from ocean to ocean
has inspired the searcher's effort; yet
others Of those who have gone north
ward have had as their guiding motive
the true scientific enthusiasm. 1t Is
a gratifying phase of the discovery
that the pole was reached by scien-
tist. Whatever practical value at
taches to the finding of the pole lies
In the scientific consideration of the
question: there has been no open sea
charted and no short route from the
Atlantic to the Pacific has been found.
A patient, earnest scientist has by his
thoroughgoing method of operation
succeeded where others have failed.
There are skeptics who doubt the
credibility of the story of the discov-
cry; that is natural: skepticism is
not confined to Missouri. and there
have been doubters in all ciimes and
In all times. But IL has been interest
ing to note that the scientists who
have had longest acquaintance with
DIR. Cook have from the very first ac-
cepted his statement as worthy of be-
lief. Another great achievement has
been added to the already long list OF
American accomplishments and the
banner of the free was the flag that
first floated at the pole. DIR. Cook has
blazed the trail; there will be others
to follow now that he has shown the
way; 1t may be expected confidently
that there will be full notification OF
what he has told US. But ii will he

LABOR DAY.-Local interest today
centers in the preparations which have
just been con- -leted for the celebra-
ton OF Labor day tomorrow. There
are. first Of all. hopes for fair weather
and for general conditions which will
contribute To the success of the Mis-
soula observance OF the day. The com
mittees which have been at work upon
the preiiminaries have labored dill
gently: If there is the co-operatiDn
which there should be the day will be
come memorable in local labor annals
In a communication to The Muscular
which was published yesterday morn
ing. one of Missnula's prominent bust
ness men called attention to the fact
that this the busiest building year in
the history of Missoula, has been the
most peaceable: there has been a com
mendable spirit Of cooperation be
tween the two sides of the labor ques
ton. and there has not been single
minutes delay In any construction or
other work as "A result of any disagree
mcnt. This, of itself is sufficient rea-
son for making tomorrow's celebration
a jubilee in this city. Flags should he
flung to the breeze and buildings
should be decked splendidly. Missoula
should join heartily in the celebration:

THE APPLE sHoW.-The harvc

THE APPLE SHOW.-The harvest
reports bring encouragement to those
who have the responsibility of the
management of the Western Montana
Apple show. There is reason to be-
lieve that this exhibition of the farm
and orchard products of this part of
the state will be worthy of the splen
did region which Ii IL to exploit The
premium list, which will be issued
this week, contains prizes to the
amount of more than three thousand
dollars. furnishing strong induce
ment to farmer and fruitgrower to
make special effort to exhibit his pro-
duce at the show. Already the prep
arations for this exhibition are being
made by many farmers. and 1t Is
hoped that there will be many others
interested In the work this week. The
apple show, as has been repeatedly an
nounced, is to be held in town: ii is
to be open day and night: the admis-
sion fee Is to be small and the eX-
pense OF getting to the display is
nothing. Under these conditions there
should be an attendance of thousands
more than If the display We're made

to the people of Missoula to interest

THE HARvEsT.-The rainstorm

THE HARVEST.-The rainstorm II
the week interrupted harvest opera
tons to some extent. but there was
ample compensation in the fact that
the same rain subdued the forest fires
which threatened the destruction Of
much timber. For the most part, the
hay harvest was ended when the rain
came: west of Missoula the grain had
also been cut. In the Bitter Root the
reapers had begun their work, but
the reports which have come from the
different sections of the valley are to
the effect that not much injury was
done to the crop by the rain. Western
Montana was fortunate in comparison
with some other sections in that the
storm was not severe: elsewhere the
damage was serious. From all par :
of Missoula's territory this month
come encouraging reports regarding
the yield Of the farms. Hay and grain
viii this year make an imposing tota'
in their contribution to the prosperity
of this favored section. The fruit
IL will not he as large as in some pre-
vious years. but reports are in effect
that it is of excellent quality. For
the western Montana farmer the sea-
son has been better than the average
and that is saying good deal, for
the Bitter Root average IL high.

Prohibition Fight
 Renewed M GeOrgia
 With Bitter Energy

CT Alexander of DeKalb county. making it illegal to buy, sell or possess any liquid beverage which contains even q trace of alcohol. It Is aimed at the sale of beer and near beer, under a decision of the courts that to be intoxicating a liquor must contain more than per cent alcohol The prohibition law enacted two years ago merely prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors without specifying what was intoxicating.
 When the house met this morning Alex ander declared that Anderson of Savan- nah, who always opposed Alexander, had planned a. filibuster.
 Anderson met the challenge with the def:
 ''Yes, 1t is a fight, a f1libuster, row. anything you choose to call 1t. But it's a fight right down the line"
 An attempt to put the bill upon it's sec ond reading was prevented by Ellis of Bibb county, who held the floor until the time of adjournment. Meantime Alexan- der and Anderson nearly came to blows upon the floor but were separated by friends
 The renewal of the quarrel has attracted the representatives of both sides to the scene and the battle is now on. The vets are fighting to retain what they have under court decisions while the drys want to shut up even the soda foun- tains if there be trace of alcohol in the drinks. They frankly say that the time for absolute prohibition has arrived.

Royal Sacrifice OC Spanish Prince To
 Win English Bride

Paris, July 23-The details surrounding the romantic marriage of Prince Alfonso of Bourbon Orleans to Princess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg, which cost him his posi- tion as a prince of the royal house Of Spain and his career in the Spanish army have come into the possession of the Associated Press
 They reveal the fact that King Alfonso instead of refusing his consent to the marriage, as was reported by Madrid dis patches, favored and actually advised the Prince to marry her secretly, gave him leave of absence for that purpose and per sonally intervened by telegraph with the Bamberg ecclesiastical authorities, in whose diocese the marriage took place, to procure a dispensation for 1t.
 This story was obtained from the Princes own lips in Munich, where tie couple are spending their honeymoon, and when 1t is known in Europe it is likely to create greater sensation than did the wedding and the Princes disgrace.
 Prince Alfonso and Princess Beatrice first met on the occasion of King Alfonso $ marriage to Princess Ena of Battenberg in 1906. The Prince then was only 20 years old and fell desperately in love with the Princess and proposed marriage but Beatrice refused him in most decided fashion, even declining him permission to correspond with her. Shortly after this the Prince entered the military school at Toledo and subsequently, In 1907 the couple met again at San Sebastian.

TAFT'S PLANS FOR
 SOUTHERN TRIP

Washington, July 23.-President Taft's plan for his western and southern trip in the fall are gradually taking definite shape. He has decided he will make the trip down the Mississippi from St. Louis to New Orleans late in October as the guest of the deep waterways convention. which will be held at New Orleans upon his arrival there.
 The date of the Presidents meeting with President Diaz at El Paso, Tex, has been finally set for October IS. The President will spend October .19 at San Antonio, Tex, and then will make a four-days' visit to the ranch of his brother, Charles P. Taft, near Corpus Christi. Leaving the ranch the President will stop at Hous- ton, October 24, and go thence direct to St. Louis to begin his trip down the Mis- sssippi. President Taft added Columbus, Ga, to the list of places he will visit He made this promise today to a committee composed of tradesmen and the city coun- cil of the city, who were escorted to the White House by Representative Adam son.

Atlanta, July 23.-When the legislature adjourned this afternoon 1t was evident that the prohibition fight. which every one thought was stilled two years ago, had broken out once more and that the bat tie would have to be fought all over again. The anti-prohibitionists openly de- clare In favor of flibusters during the remainder of the session, which is only 20 days. The drys promptly forced through a resolution calling the daily sessions at g a. m, in stead of 10. And they declare tonight that unless the new dry legisla- tion is passed promptly at this session they will force an extra session to accom- plish their purpose.
 A new feature of the row is a pledge extracted from Governor Brown before his election, by which he bound himself to veto any liquor legislation that might be passed by the state assembly. At that time the prohibitionists did not dream of more stringent dry laws. but were en- deavoring to fight against any measures introduced by the vets.
 The ethical question as to whether Gov ernor Brown can sign the new bill Is exciting much discussion and even the drys are divided over it.
 The bill which Is causing all the trouble is the one drawn by Representative Hoop
