There was a large attendance OF
fruit growers at the annual session of
the Chelan County Horticultural Asso-
citation held at Cashmere Dec. Is.
Over sixty fruit growers were present
and many warm and interesting discus
sions were held on matters relating to
the growing OF more perfect fruit. The
proposed Lafean box occupied good
share of attention, as did the question
of grading apples. 1t was decided to en-
dorse the two grades used at the Spo-
kane apple show. A very valuable pa
per pointing out the fallacy Of the
'one-spraying idea" was read by In
spector Darlington. Prof. Tumble, of
the Wenatchee high school, also gave
an interesting talk on spraying.
1t was voted that all exhibits from
this section should be labelled as We
natchee valley exhibits. Officers for
the ensuing year were elected as fol-
lows: President, L. Titchenal; vice
president, Mike Koran; secretary, j..
H. Sprague; treasurer, c. A. Huston.

Victim of Spanish Swindle Near
Stony Run, Md, Loses House.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 15-The
large store and dwelling of William A.
Moffatt, near Stony Run, Anne Arundel
county was burned shortly after clock
last night. The loss is estimated at about
S., Co., which is partly covered by insur-
ance.
This is the second misfortune that has
befallen Mr.. Moffatt in the last two
months. About September he was made
the victim of a Spanish sWindle, In which
he lost about $1,000.
The fire was the second in the house
yesterday. About 3 o'clock in the after
noon the kitchen chimney caught fire.
There was a high southwesterly wind
blowing. BY the efforts of Mr. Moffatt
the fire was extinguished before it spread
The roof around the top of the chimney
was damaged
While the family were seated at the
table for the evening meal Mrs. Monatt
detected the odor of smoke. She went 10
the second floor and as she opened the
door to one of the rooms she was met by
an outburst of flames She screamed Tor
her husband, who ran upstairs but the
flames had gained such Roadway that he
realized it was impossible to check them
An effort was then made to save the fur
niture. Neighbors saw the flames and
burning building. They were able to save
ware were the first things taken from the
burning building. They wre able to save
only small quantity of clothing.
The piano and some furniture on the
first floor were saved.
The flames, which were famed by the
strong wind from the south. caused the
house to burn rapidly. In less than ten
minutes after the fire was discovered the
roof had fallen in. The flames continued.
to eat their way down the building at a
rapid rate. and in less than half an hour
the building was a mass OF ruins. So
brilliant was the blaze that the reflection
Of the light could be seen from the high
attitudes of Baltimore.
The neighbors saved the outbuildings.
