Grand Jury Is Legal.

Olympia, Nov. 2O.-The call of the
King county grand jury to sit Novem-
Der % is legal
The supreme court this morning
handed down a unanimous decision,
denying the petition of DR.. w. c. Glib
son, of Seattle, for writ of prohibit
ton.
Gibson, through his attorney, Ken
meth Macintosh, questioned the legal
ity of the call which stated that the
jury would begin it's sitting on Novem-
Der %. Gibson contended that under
the statutes of 1909 the grand jury
could not sit in the same month In
which it was called.
The supreme court decided that the
procedure of the superior court OF King
county in calling the grand jury was
in accordance with the law and that
the date of the jury's sitting was a
matter entirely within the discretion
of the superior court.

BURNS TO WATERS EDGE

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 22.-Ihe
passenger steamship St. CroiX, owned
by Schubach & Hamilton, OF Seattle,
and operated in connection with the
North Pacific Steamship Company,
burned to the waters edge Saturday
at a point three miles off Point Duma,
and eighteen miles north OF Santa
Monica, and the lives of the eighty-tWo
passengers aboard and those OF the
crew of thirty-six were saved by the
heroic action of the officers and crew
and the fact that the sea was calm at
the time of the disaster.
All of those on board escaped on
lifeboats and RATS and were safely
landed at Point Duma on little beach.
They are camped tonight in the Zuni
canyon, back of the point.
The fire started in the second cabin

A panic among the passengers was
averted by the prompt action of the
officers and crew, who gave the pas
sengers no chance to save their per-
sonal belongings.

History of q Continent.

Strange have been the historical
vicissitudes of the antarctic continent,
the Century says. A Pigment of geogra-
phic fancy evolved by Ortelius in 1870,
the great Capt. Cook thought that he
had demolished it in 1878.
Resuscitated by an American sealer,
N. B. Palmer, in 1920, it took form
and definite location explorations of
1910, supplemented by those Of
D'Urville, Enderby and Kemp.
Ross eliminated Wilkes discoveries
from his charts, but the continent
was theoretically and scientifically re-
constructed by the great physicists,
Carpenter and Murray.
Slowly evolving it's tangible shape
through the discoveries of the German
Drygalski, the Scotsman Bruce, the
Belgian Gerlache, the Frenchman
Charcot, the Norwegian Larsen and
the Englishman Scott, through the
late labors of Shackleton, the antarc-
tic continent now appears to extend
from Victoria Land to Enderby Land
and from. Wilkes Land across the
south pole to Palmer Land.
Taken all in all, Shackleton's dis
coveries are the most important and
extensive ever made within the ant
arctic circle. He has determined the
location of the magnetic pole, largely
increased the known area of the south
ern continent, virtually reached tho
south pole and added materially to our
general knowledge of those regions.

APPLE CROP SHORT OF
PRODUCTION IN 1908

Wenatchee, Nov. 22.-More than 600
carloads of apples went out of the We
natchee valley this season, bringing a
revenue of 100000 into the valley for
the fruit growers. This is not equal
to the sum received last year, which is
due to the fact that the frosts of last
spring injured the peach crop and 9th
er early fruits.
The apple crop was not much af-
fected. The Winesap variety, the
staple apple of the valley, made a
heavier yield this year than ever be-
fore. The Rome Beauty, the Jonathan
and the Ben Davis have been under
the average. The Black Ben and the
Stamen Winesap have been normal.
