Dear Mr.. Hardy:-I have just re-
turned from a trip to the National APP
pie Show at Spokane. They have a
nne exhibit OF all varieties OF the
King of Fruits" and what is more.
they showed that they understood the
question of grading and packing. also
displaying. The exhibits were. in
fact. rather more extensive than I ex-
pected TO find. The Northwest is on
TO the advertising game far better
than we CoIoradoans arc and we can
learn much from them.
The papers at Spokane announce
that there will be four car loads OF
apples sent down TO the Denver show,
but as near as I can tell now there
will only be two cars and some entries
for the fve and ten box oiasscs- I do
not think that Colorado growers have
anything 10 fear from the Northwest
and Il Is great thing for Colorado
growers that these Northwest fellows
are coming down. as Il will be worth
the price OF a ticket to Denver 10 be
shown the fruit that has such a big
reputation and to know that Il Is real
" no better than ours.
Having seen the Spokane show has
not Iessened my confidence In Color
ado apples and | have no fears for the
results from our show unless our Col
orado growers are careless in placing
their displays. Many statets Will be
represented. and present Indications
are that there will be at least twenty
car loads OF apples on display.

vantage OF the rates on the selling

not fail to send In for their exhibitors

PUPILS HAVE STARTED
LIBRARY IN SCHOOL

The pupils in the Lower Four-Mile
school. with an enterprise that Is
highly commendable. have started a
school library that promises TO be of
great value TO them in the prosecution
OF their studies. Considerably more
than a hundred reference books have
been collected and the number OF vol
umes is being added TO as rapidly as
circumstances will permit
The library dates back 4 couple OF
years to the time when the school was
taught by Miss Dora Sherwood, who
greatly encouraged the movement
among the pupils An entertainment;
was given and from the money so OBJ
ialned the first books were purchased.
From this purchase the library has
expanded until II has become the pride
Of all Its contributors.
Under Miss Ida Warner. who Is the
teacher this year. popular interest in
the library has lost none OF its early
enthusiasm and new books are being
added TO the collection all of the time.
Rural schools generally should follow
the splendid example set them by the
pupils on Lower Four-Mile.

shipbuilders in the world, have decided
to establish themselves in Canada. This
is a recognition by the successful ship
building firm that the dominion has
reached that stage in her career which
places beyond dispute her claim to be
recognized as a maratime power of flu
ture greatness. The coming of Har-
Ian & Wolff and the decision of the
people of Canada to build a feet of
their own introduces a new and i'm
portant industry into Canada. 1t is
said the Dominion government will ask
parliament for a vote of $4,000, 900 for
naval maintenance which would be in
the neighborhood of $3,000,000 a year.
However, the proposals which the Cana
dian government will lay before parlia-
are far from complete.

Congress sets apart thousands of dol
lars a year for maintenance and repairs
at the white house. The latter cost
quite as much as the former, due to the
fact that the house is visited yearly
by great throngs of people, who leave
behind them trails of wear and tear
that demands prompt attention. The
annual house cleaning and repairing al
ways take place while the president and
his family are absent for the summer,
and this work for the current season is
now drawing rapidly to a close. 1t IS
expected that the house and grounds
and the enlarged executive Offices will
be in readiness for occupancy by the
time Mrs. Taft returns to Washington
from Beverly. Certainly everything
will be in frst-class condition by the
time the president returns, the latter
part of this month. The president has
approved a plan to finish the interior
of his private Office in the enlarged
executive building with wood grown
in the Philippines. The parquet floor
ing of the office will be of Tuscan1
Calao wood, dark green in color, which
grows abundantly in the islands. The
furniture in the presidents office will
be covered with the skin of the cara
boo, or Philippine buffalo, brought from
the Philippines for this especially. So
much for the presidents good will for
the little brown men.
The white house has been given a
new coat of paint during the summer,
prior to which several coats of the old
paint were carefully removed. The
building has never presented a cleaner
and more inviting appearance than at
present. Inside, the green room has
been redecorated, the furniture reup-
holstered and the woodwork reprinted.
All the other parlors have been gone
over carefully and ut in first class
condition for the return of the presiden-
tial family, but no radical changes have
been made in either furniture or dec
orations.
As a whole, however, the interior will
present a most attractive appearance,
and this will last pretty well through
the social season, which will begin
early in the winter. Mrs. Taft, while
she will take things more philosophi-
cally than she did last season, has in
vited her sister to help her in reeeiv-
ing, and plans are under way to make
the Tafts' first winter in the white
house memorable socially. This will
be the easier because of Mrs. Taft's
fondness for social affairs, and her
finely developed musical and artistic
tastes.

EVIDENTLY WORKS A HARDsHIr

About two hundred army officers
have been called on by the wal depart
ment to refund to the treasury sums of
money varying in amount from 500
to $4,000, being the pay received by
them for exercising higher command
than their actual rank in the war with
Spain, and later in the Philippines.
This was APPARENTLY authorized by an
Interpretation of the law which provid-
ed that an officer should receive the
pay of the grade of the duties of which
in actual operations he was engaged in
performing. This situation found cap
tains in command of battalions and
majors and lieutenant colonies in COM
mand of regiments. The unexpected
demand from the treasury department
has operated as a hardship upon the
officers who have received this notice
after SO many years. They find there
is no appeal from the decision, and as
they are not responsible for the mis-
Interpretation of the law or the mis-
application of the statutes they think
it would be proper to seek legislation
authorizing them to retain the money
which they were considered ten or
more years ago as having fairly earned
and to which they were legally entitl-
ed. There might be some difficulty in
obtaining an appropriation if it re-
quired a new disbursement of money,
but the situation can be fully met by
inserting in the army appropriation
act a clause which will protect the army
officers adversely affected.

TO ASK PRoTEcToRATE
ST. Pierre ct Miquelon to Petition for
Annexation to United States.

st. Pierre, Miq., Jan. 2-Followng
the recent disturbances here III con
nection with the opening of schools
under Catholic auspices, a sentiment
in favor of some form of union OF this
colony with the United States has be-
come apparent among a considerable
portion Of the population. This was
first openly manifested at the time OF
the school agitation, when the crowd
which gathered in front of the govern
ment house raised an American nag.
Since then residents of the colony
have expressed desire foI separation
from France and il is said the leaders
of the movement will shortly circu-
late petition among the people OF
the islands forming the colony of ST.
Pierre ct Miquelon asking that the is
lands be placed under an American
protectorate The leaders believe
they will find widespread support in
such action.
While the school question brought
to a head the dissatisfaction with the
course pursued by the French govern
ment in the conduct of this colony the
colonists feel that they have other
grievances of even greater impor-
lance. impoverished by partial fail.
ure during several seasons of the FISH
cries, which form the main support
of the population Of the islands and
by the numerous disasters to fishing
vessels as the storms that are preya-
| lent off the coast of Newfoundland,
hundreds OF the colonists have left
their homes here each season for sew
eral years past and have settled in
Canada and elsewhere.
Those who remain assert that they
are no longer able to support the fin
ancial burdens placed upon them by
France and now say the colony con
not exist unless the home govern
ment makes 81 Pierre a free port.
Louis Lefevre assistant to the mayor
of st. Pierre who personally raised the
American flag during the school dem
Onst rations, has started a league OF
taxpayers Of the colony to support the
demands for free schools and a free
port. Mr. .Lefevre is the acting head
of the city of Pierre during the alb
sence OF the mayor Louis Legasse,
who is the delegate of the colony at
Paris
Although no official word has been
received from France the people are
confident that the government will
accede to their wishes in the matter
of the schools to be carried on by
lay Catholic teachers.
There have been no disturbances
since the arrival of the new admin
istrator of the colony, NJ. Didelot.
There is no French war vessel in
these waters at present the cruiser
Admiral Aube which brought the new
administrator, having started last
week on orders from Paris to search
for an overdue French steamer.
