INTEREST IN APPLE SHOW.

Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific railway company, has
accepted the presidency of the Nation
al Apple show, inc, which will award
$4,000 in prizes and trophies at its
second annual exhibition in Spokane,
December 6 to II, says a Spokane
dispatch. He succeeds Louis w. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail,
way company, who was the head of the
organization last
The primary purposes of the expo
sition are to educate the growers and
handlers to- the fact that the apple is
a staple product; that the markets
at home and abroad are constantly
increasing; that prizes for clean fruit
of color, size, and flavor are advanc-
ing; that the demand was never
greater than at the present, and that
over-production is entirely out of
question during this century. 1t is
also designed to establish a standard
with a view toward a greater de-
velopment of the apple industry.
The competitions in the various
classes, ranging from $1,000 for the
best car of apples to S. for the best
single fruit, will be free and open to
all, the plan being to have a sufi-
GENTLY wide variety to make a worlds
exposition, in which every exhibitor
will have a chance in the awards.
Pomologists of national reputation

A subscriber down in Minnesota
complains that the recent solar eclipse

ment of the same. We admit that we
were disappointed in the blame thing,
but we got our information from our

lurid article got it's start, but it went
through the newspapers like measles
through a kindergarten and not one
of u boys got down their Ayers
almanac and looked up the real facts
until too late. 1t is the aim of all
newspapers not to vary from the truth
one iota, in regard to anything, and
then, to get caught up on a PROPOSE

assirg. AS this was the first instance,

years, we hope our friends will over

In an after dinner speech at Yale
President Taft declared that if the
party which placed him in power fail
ed to live up to its promises and the ex
pectations of the people it would be
relegated to a position of a minority
opposition. This is strong language
and no president has ever predicted
the defeat Of his party. In SO speaking
the president shows himself to be a
fearless advocate of the peoples rights
and no doubt meant what he said and
fully appreciated its significance. What
effect this language will have on con
gress will 500 be evident. If con
gress heeds the admonition all well,

A dispatch in the Sioux City Journal
says that the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Jensen, who reside on a
farm in Eureka township, Bookings
county, lost his life as the result of
stepping on a nail. Only the ordinary
precautions were taken at the time
of the injury the wound being appar-
emily a slight one. Blood poisoning,
however, developed, and physicians
were unable to save the little ones
life. The unfortunate boy was two and
one-half years old.
Rev. R. E. Olmstead of Bookings,
who delivered a bird lecture here

Peter Binford and Fred Ueltschi
had a rather exciting and laughable
experience Monday, although there
was nothing funny about it at the
time. They drove out to Mr.. Bin,
ford..s farm northwest of the city
and in going over the place they no
ticed a pole-cat run under a haycock.
Mr.. Binford proposed to smoke him
out and touched a match to the hay
with the result that the flames spread
to the surrounding hay and fifteen or
twenty acres were burned off before
the fire was under control. The next
time they go out they will probably
take a gun along.

growers have a surplus which they
are glad to furnish our town people
and which often brings them quite a
little ready money. However, our
people cannot be always buying unless
they are able to do some selling them
selves. The laboring people must sell
their time to some one, the clerks
in the stores must get money for
their work and our merchants must
find buyers for their goods. The
farmers who buy their goods in this
market are the ones who are helping
OF maintain a good home town. They
can find honest goods here at honest
prices, the very people who use their
berries and vegetables are interested
in the prosperity of this town and
the surrounding country. The Chi

Majority of New Senators Still Young

man a glance into the careers of the
new solons who have succeeded to
the togas of the retiring senators
would dissipate all doubts. Some of
the newcomers are among the most

r. HE latest bit of gossip which the
i social elect of Washington are now
excitedly discussing is an incident that
happened at the last Bachelors ger
man.
This winter, as everybody knows, at
the smartest balls and cotillons, it has
been the custom to set aside a room
for bridge, a wise and considerable in
novation, since a number Of both men
and women who attend these functions
do not care to dance, especially the
chaperones, who are little enough con-
sidered.
Mrs. Longworth, always keen after
the latest fad, decided to institute this
practice at the Bachelors, and so at
the last german started a game of
bridge. 1t seems some of the men on
the committee objected. Jerome Bona
parte, great-grandson of Jerome Bona
parte, king of Westphalia, and there
fore great-grandnephew of Napoleon,
giving himself the royal airs, which he
occasionally assumes, approached Mrs.

bert B. Cummins, who had learned the
trade of carpentry before he was Is,
and before he was 81 was the boy
oracle of his village. Theodore Bur-
ton, who won his toga against the
brother of the president, Charles P.
Taft, was also boy oracle and boy
orator, and is young man yet as
senatorial ages go. George e. Cham
berlain, the youngest of the new men,
was in the legislature of Oregon when
he was &c, and has climbed the ladder
to the present high place with giant
strides ever since He gave up two
years of his term as governor of Ore
gon to go to the senate, the goal OF
his ambition ever since he won a
prize in a debate years ago.
OF course the most eminent of the
new senators is Elihu Root, and no
one can claim that he is precocious.
But there is Yakima" Jones of
Washington state, only few months
younger than Chamberlain and both
on the sunny side of so, who enlisted
as spellbinder in the cause of Blaine
and did fine work when he was barely
81. Only five of the new men are
much past 60, and, that is an unusual
occurrence in the upper chamber,
where the members arrive well sea-
soned and gray bearded.
