s35, 900 in Prizes to Be Distributed in
November


Dates-November Is to 20, 1909.
Occasion-Second National Apple
Show.
Place-State armory and adjacent
property, Spokane.
remiums-Thirty-f thousand dol
lars in cash and kind.
Exhibitors-Entries open and free to
growers all over the world.
Executive officers-President, How
ard Elliott, st. Paul, head of the
Northern Pacific Railway company;
chairman of board of trustee, E. F.
Cartier Van Dissel, Spokane; secretary
and manager, Rem H. Rice, Spokane.
Briefly, the foregoing gives the sal
lent features of what is designed to be
the most ambitious undertaking yet at
tempted to popularize the apple as
national fruit and food and bring the
superior qualities of color, size and
flavor of the northwestern product to
the attention of the world
Growers can send prize winning ex-
hibits to the United States Land and
Irrigation exposition at Chicago, No
vember 81 to December 4, if they de-
sire
Mr.. Rice says that such world wide
attention was attracted by the first
show that in making plans for the Sec
ond exposition it is purposed to nearly
double the exhibition space this year.
There win be approximately 5000
square feet of space for exhibit pur-
poses.
Judging from the preliminary prep
aration there is every indication that
the second show will bring even greater
results than the first.
1t is purposed to have every apple
growing district in the northwestern
states and provinces entered in the
various competitions for prizes aggre-
eating $751;, 900 in value.
The chief purpose of the National
Apple Show is to establish a standard,
to assist growers in the culture and
mark citing of the fruit and to create
and supply the increasing demand for
the apple, also to bring together the
growers and the men who handle the
products of orchards in a commercial
way, with a view toward the greater
development of the industry. Another
} object is to demonstrate to the people
: of the west the possibilities of intelli
> gent intensive cultivation and to show
to the east and south the value to the
whole country of this development

WESTON FINISHES HIS WALK.
Clear From New York to San Francisco
in Less Than 100 Days.

Edward Payson Weston, the veteran
pedestrian, has finished his 1000 mile
walk from New York to San Fran
cisco, arriving at the latter place July
8. This makes his total number of
walking days 90, counting July g., and
makes him beat his time limit estab-
lished just one day. When he started
he said he would cross the continent
in 100 days.
The veteran put careful estimate
on his own ability and nurtured his
strength by frequent long rests. Had
he taken a chance with his constitu-
ton, as he would were he younger,
he probably could have beaten this
time many days.
Figuring it any way, it is phe-
nomenal performance for man of II
years. OF course, Weston has been a
pedestrian all his life.
