WRITES SECRETARY OF SPO-
KANE CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE ABOUT HIS WENAT-
CHEZ APPLE EXHIBIT.

r. +. GOOdall, president of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce. who
has been much embarrassed in his
position on account of a real estate
exploitation scheme in which he is
using a carload of Wenatchee ap-
pies, has written a letter of explana-
ton to l.. G. Monroe, secretary of the
Spokane boosters. The letter is dat
ed December 18 and is written from
New York City
The carload of Wenatchee apples
was purchased through H. w. Hall
ing, former secretary of the local
commercial club. The purpose was
to ship them to New York City for
exhibit in a prominent location and
use them to advertise the Arcadia
Orchard Lands, large tract located
35 miles north of Spokane. In some
way the information was given to
Wenatchee papers during the time of
the purchase of this exhibit that it
was TO be used, not by real estate
firm but by the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce The head lines and stO
ries appearing in local news columns
created furore not only in Spokane
but among all fruit sections of the
northwest. which were more or less
affected by the seeming slight offered
their own products.
In his letter Mr.. Goodall expresses
surprise that either he or anyone en-
ployed by him has ever stated that
the Chamber of Commerce had any
thing to do with the exhibit he is
making. and he cannot understand
why a contrary explanation should
have gone forth nor why anybody
should be necessarily worried or ex-
cited
Il am surprised that anyone that
| knows me would for moment think
would allow any crooked work done
with or without a carload of apples.
This move of ours, private and
understood to be land-sellins enter
prise. has been approved by every
northwest railroad. and they are all
furnishing literature for us TO dis
| tribute.

BIG BLAST IN ARIZONA.
Side of Mountain Broken Up to Supply
Railroad Ballast.

One of the biggest things in the
blasting line ever done took place
the other day near STEMS Pass, Red
Rock, Ariz, when the whole side Of
mountain was broken into small pieces
and enough rock was dislodged to ballast
100 miles of track, all In one explosion.
Preparations for the blast had been
going on for several weeks under the d.
rection of G. w. Kearney, powder expert
for the Southern Pacific, and A. B.
Crane, an expert for the company which
furnished the powder. In making the
blast $4,000 pounds Of powder was used.
The object was to obtain rock for bal
lasting the Tucson division Of the South.
ern Pacific. The sight when the powder
was touched off was one of the most re-
markable ever witnessed in this part Of
the southwest. The whole side of the
mountain was lifted about twenty-five
feet and then settled back with a groan,
a broken mass of stone.
1t is estimated that a body of rock
weighing 100000 pounds was dis
lodged by this explosion.

headed by their officers, and proceed
ed to the Mosque Of st. Sophia, from
which point they surrounded the
building OF parliament. They demand
the dismissal of the grand vizier, the
president Of the chamber and the min
lister of war. Panic has seized the
people Of Constantinople and all
through the city shops + being hur-
s1edly closed.
The cabinet has resigned and their
designations have been accepted. 1t
il reported that Kaimil Pasha, the
former grand vizier, has been charged
with the formation of a new cabinet.
The present grand vizier of Turkey
is Hilmi Pasha. He was appointed to
this Office on Feb. IA in succession to
Kiamil Pasha-
Hilmi Pasha was formerly minister
Of the interior and before holding this
office he served as inspector general
of Macedonia. Ali Ria Pasha is min
lister of war and marine and is grand
master of artillery. These and the
other changes in the cabinet that took
place in February showed the abso-
lutte control of the political situation
by the Young Turks party, or com
mittee of union and progress, which
virtually imposed on the sultan a min
istry of its own nominees.
The committee on Feb. IA publicly
repudiated any intention to overthrow
the sultan or to install a military die
tatorship, but the crisis and Its out
come was then regarded as not prom
ising well for the stability of the
throne or the success of parliamentary
government. 1t has been a question
how the moderate elements of the
empire would regard this assumption
of absolute power by an irresponsible
committee.
The committee of union and prog
8 consistently opposed Kaimil
Pasha, Hilmi Pasha's predecessor. 1t
suspected him of being too considerate
of palace influences and complained
of his slowness in conducting the me-
gotiations with Austria hungary and
Bulgaria.
