APPLE INDUSTRY
BEGAN IN NY.


The apple industry in this country
had its birth at what is now Third
avenue and Thirteenth street. Gov
ernOr Peter Stuyvenant, that cOura-
geous. one-legged HOllander, brought
the first apple tree here in 1647. and
planted it near his country home
From that single tree, set in the
ground 262 years ago. the annual
American production of the fruit has
grown to the enormous value of
S150.000.0 900. of which New York
uses $12.00O.0O0.
The original tree stood until
careless driver of a wagon backed
into it in 1866. a year after the Civil
war, and knocked it down. No one
had thought of the fact that that tree
had spread itself in millions of iupli-
Gates from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cific. and so it had not been SUR
rounded with an iron rail to preserve
the parent apple tree.
New York's Fruit Bill.
New York consumes $27.000,000
worth of fruit year OF oranges
alone, Florida sends us 100000
boxes every season. California does
even better than that, depositing here
over 100000 worth of the golden
fruit in the season. The Pacific
coast ships 220 cars of oranges every
week. Each car contains $50 boxes
and each box an average of 200
oranges.
That means 100000 oranges
sent here from California alone each
week. Florida ships us nearly as
many, so that 100000 oranges
as New York's weekly consumption
is a fair estimate
The Orhcard products of the coun-
try, including apples, peaches. pears
and plums, reach in value 1925. 000,-
600 year. The annual cranberry
crop is worth 100000. Then there
are pineapples, the bulk of which
come from Cuba, although Florida

JOE CANNON CAN
SMILE
SPEAKER REJOICES BECAUSE
CONGRESSMAN POINDEXTER

Uncle Joe Cannon is wearing
the smile that won't come off.
Ii is all because Representative
Miles Poindexter of Spokane has de-
cis.re1 himself a candidate for the
United States senate. declares a
Washington correspondent. The
speaker is we'll posted on political
conditions in the state Of Washing
ton, and is aware that when Poin
dexter runs for the senate he elimi-
mates himself from the house of
representatives, and reduces the in
surgent forces by just one vote.
All of which. to the mind of the
speaker, is very fine business. He
would like to see other insurgents
stung by the senatorial bee.
Poindexter was one of the few
members of the house who did not
put in appearance on the opening
day of the session. The speaker, OBJ
serving that the Washington insur-
gent was among the missing, sent
for Representative Humphrey.
Where is your colleague, POin-
deXter?' he asked
Il don't know" replied Humphrey
Il have not seen him nor heard
from him

guess Miles has been running so hard
for the senatorship that he got hot

The reward for his capture was $50.
The police are continually on the

they have printed descriptions. Both
Chief Inscho and Sheriff Ferguson
have dozens of inquiries with print
ed circulars regarding men whose
arrest is desired. The most attract

officials all over the northwest is
that gotten out by the Great North

ably good health, and delighted at

formation of the party's doings be-
yond what is generally known. Any

all human probabilities sheer inven-

SECTION
is SAID THAT GREAT NORTHERN
Is SURVEYING BRANCH LINE
FROM ODESSA TO QUINCY BY
WAY OF MOSES LAKE.

From a Quincy man now in the
city it is learned that the Great
Northern surveyors are doing pre-
liminary work in a survey Of a
branch line which it is proposed to
run from Odessa to Quincy. Evident
ly it is the purpose of the Great
Northern not to allow the Milwaukee
to have all of the business of the
southern Douglas county territory,
and the new survey runs through the
Moses lake country. Under the pres
ent conditions most of the trade, or
most of the wheat business of the
Moses lake country, would be haul
ed off by the new Milwaukee line
and it seems to be the purpose of
the Great Northern to retain this
business for itself. The Quincy man
reports quite a crew at work on this
new survey.

NEW SCENIC HOTEL
FINISHED
j. V. PROSSER COMPLETES NEW
ONE AT WELL KNOWN RESORT
BUILDING DESIGNED ON
SWISS CHALET ORDER.

Scenic Hot Springs Hotel-the new
structure erected by Proprietor J. V.
Prosser to replace the hotel burned
last December-is to be opened to
the public, Saturday, June 5.
The new Scenic hotel represents an
investment of more than $4,000
and is built on modern lines, espe-
cially with regard to fire protection.
The foundation and basement is of
concrete and the superstructure is
finished in the beautiful Swiss chalet
style of architecture There are so
rooms in the hotel with six suites

In the concrete basement are To-
Gated the baths, which are of the
most modern kind. Electric light
and steam heat are furnished from a
plant in a separate building. The
house is furnished with absolutely
new furniture and bedding.
Tragic as were the circumstances
surrounding the destruction by fire of
the hotel at Scenic last December, the
loss to Mr.. Prosser did not deter him
in the least from undertaking the i'm
mediate construction of a new and
finer building The old hotel was
well known to people all over the
state. The fire started one night dur
ing the Christmas holidays. Mr..
Prosser, seeing that all within the
hotel were safe, undertook to save
some Of his private papers and was
quite severely burned. His personal
effects as well as the furniture and
building were completely destroyed.
Splendid Scenery.
Scenic Hot Springs are situated on
the main line of the Great Northern,
within four hours ride of Wenat-
hcee and are a popular over-Sunday
resting place. The hotel is built in
a nook in the Cascades. Giant snow
capped peaks almost encircle the
hotel The springs are we'll known
for their waters which have wonder
full curative powers.
