roughly PLAYED throughout and could
not be considered the best in that
kind of sport. but the boys claim they
will settle down TO better ball after
awhile and will give more scientific
exhibitions. Withal. II was a good
victory for the home team and will
furnish them an incentive for renew

Seattle, Sept "a cranberry
war was started on Western avenue,
and as a result prices are down from
25 to SO cents per barrel. The low
est quotation put out today was 50,
although as high as 1926 was asked
by some houses. The lower prices
are a result of price cutting started
by one house on the street.
Hubbard squash has made its APP
pearance on Western avenue. and is
quoted at 2 cents per pound. Pump
kins are also among the new arrivals
and are offered at the usual price of
1 cent per pound.
Fancy apples are now offered, but
the demand is limited. Snow apples
at $3.50, Kings at $2@2.25, Veal
thys at $175 @2, Arkansas Blacks
at 81 and several other standard va
rieties were seen on the street for
the first time yesterday morning. The
prices are so high, however, that

oping much demand unit lother sea-
sonable fruits are out of the way.
Potatoes continue to stack up in this
market, sixteen carloads being un-
loaded today. Many potatoes, how
ever, are scheduled to go north to

INTEREST IN SP0-
KANE RATE CASE

Spokane, Sept 29.-Interest in
the Spokane rate case was revived
today by the arrival of Commissioner
Prouty of the interstate commerce
commission to take further testi-
mony in the much-discussed case.
The case has been pending before the
commission since 1907, when the
business interests of this city asked
the commission to revise the rates on
shipments from the east. The chief
question at issue is whether through
rates from the east to such cities as
Spokane, Reno, Salt Lake City and
like interior cities of the far western
region should not be lower than the
rates to the coast cities. 1t is the
long and short haul question over
again. with some notifications. The
Pacific coast cities hold they are en-
titled to the benefits of water COM
petition.
In February last the interstate
commerce commission rendered a
decision, which was to become Oper-
alive. as modified, in May, and
which made the class rates from st.
Paul to Spokane equal to five-sixths
of the existing rates from st. Paul 10
Seattle; fixed the class rates from
Chicago to Spokane at the equiva-
lent of those then in force between
St. Paul ana Seattle, and establish
ed new commodity rates upon more
than thirty specified articles, be-
tween Chicago and Spokane, by add
ing 16 2-3 per cent to the rates
charged on shipments from st. Paul
to Spokane.
The decision of the commission
was fairly satisfactory as far as 1t
went. But Spokane has about one
thousand five hundred other COM
modities on which it wants reduc-
tons, and Reno. Billings, Salt Lake
City and other interior points have
similar grievances that they want
righted Still another interesting
phase of the case is the complaint
that comes from the east that the
interests of that section have been
overlooked in the new basis of tariffs
submitted by the western lines. The
claim is made that in the process of
removing the discrimination against
Spokane and other western points all
New England and other sections of
the east will be Disseminated
against. In other words, freight
rates from Chicago and st. Paul are
to be lowered, without any proper
tionate reduction in the east. Rates
from New England to Spokane will
be fixed by adding to Chicago rates
the local from the oint of shipment
to Chicago. thus disseminating the
many blanket rates at present In eff.
feet. In order to protect their in
terests in the matter the CONNER
cial organizations of New England
have sent a representative to be pres
ent at the hearing before Commits
sioner Prouty.

court of Adams county; that her
husband falsely testified she had
abandoned him, and that her own
attorney deceived her and failed to
fight the case.
The husband was later tried for
perjury for his testimony in the d.
yorce case, and she says his defense
was that the divorce proceedings
were void. The opinion doesn't dis
close whether the perjury trial re-
suited in acquittal on that evidence
or not.
Mr.. Meisenheimer married Miss
Merley and four months later the
first wife brought proceedings to set
aside the divorce proceedings on the
grounds of fraud. This was heard
by stipulation before Judge Chadwick
at Spokane, who denied the motion.
Then this suit was brought and a
decision setting aside the divorce
as granted. This the supreme court
sets aside, holding that the decree
as valid.
The first Mrs. Meisenheimer wins
a money victory, however. On her
allegation that at the first trial Mr..
Meisenheimer fraudulently concealed
from the court $4,000 worth OF
property, the supreme court says that
if this is true that property belongs
in common to the first wife and her
husband, and that she may bring

Writing from Halifax on August

season for a banner apple crop in
Nova Scotia have been seriously af-
fected by the prolonged drought
throughout the Annapolis valley. The
apples in many sections have been
ripening and pre'maturely falling.
their development checked and in
many cases blemished. 1t is feared
the drought will result in loss of
thousands of barrels to the farmers
of Nova Scotia, who expected one of
the largest crops in the history of
the province.
