back the clock few years and show
why the prosperous man in the state
of Washington today is the rancher.
We are going to show you that when
you cut a melon you eat the heart
| first and those who come later must
take the rind. We are going to show
why the winter apple lands of Che
Ian and Okanogan counties pay high
er profits per acre than any other
cultivated land In the world, mas
much as real estate is the foundation
Of all fortunes. We will show you
how 1t is possible for you, with but
a few dollars comparatively, amass
for yourself very large fortune or
income per year.
Economy is paying a fair price for
good article. We will endeavor to
show you why the Methow Valley Is
a good article. We will tell you of
the Wenatchee people who have
bought and where they have bought.
We will tell you of the New York
growers, Missouri growers, or Kan
sas growers who have gone to the
Methow and bought land. We will
tell you what the bankers have to
say, what the business men have to
say and we will show you why you
must go to the Methow and go at
| once If you would buy at present
prices, and in this direction we will
sincerely suggest that when this
land was offered for sale but a short
time ago, the price was about one
half what it is now.
We will show you why this land
will sell at nearly double the price
before snow flies. A few of us have
watched the other fellow and have
the experience. Are you tird looking
on?
Land equal to ours Is not to be
bought in the Wenatchee Valley to-
day. The better land in Wenatchee
is all taken and under cultivation
and the only land in the Wenatchee
valley today that compares with the
Methow are the very best tracts of
land which a few years ago sold at
100000 or $4,000 per acre and
are today worth from 100000 to
100000 per acre. 1t isn't necessary
that you see the Methow Valley to
find these statements to be correct.
We can refer you to those who have
seen 1t and If you are satisfied with
the report, you then can go yourself
and select or we will select for you
and when you see it, If you don't
like our selection, you can change it
for any unsold tract, within a reason
able time. You can not lose, you
stand to win big. Your son will not
have this opportunity. 1t is up to
you to take care OF his well being.
1t is your duty to your family. We
will show you conclusively.
Why not own a larger ranch. A
ranch with unequaled water right
which goes with It, a Canal Company
that delivers water on the highest
point of each tract in its own bitches.
We will show you how you can shop
all over the entire apple growing
section Of Washington without find
Ing a single project which can offer
the soil, the water right and the rec
ord. We refer you to our record at
the Apple Show last year.
We call to your attention the pros-
porous business man Of Wenatchee
today. We ask you what is his bust
ness? How many times have you
envied the lucky investor? Do not
follow the crowd after the good

dealers all over the country by spe-
cial exhibits Of different varieties Of

apples in windows and stands.
The National Apple Show idea was
projected by the Spokane Horticul-
tural Society and was heartily sup
ported by thu business men OF Spo-
kane. Their motto was: Cleaner
and better fruit and more of it." To
accomplish this, however, as the most
intelligent supporters and students
of the apple industry perceive, it will
be necessary to bring about radical
changes in the manner of cultivating
apples on this continent. THERE
MUST BE GENERAL RETIREMENT
OF CONDITIONS IN THE CONNER
CIAL ORCHARDS. IF THIS IS NOT
DONE THE UNITED STATES AND
CANADA, WITHIN A FEW YEARS,
WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED
TO IMPORT APPLES INSTEAD OF
EXPORTING THEM.
In support of the belief that the
domestic supply is insufficient is the
fact that, if 1t had not been for the
enormous crops in the Pacific and
northwestern states and provinces
last year, an apple famine would
have resulted. In many of the mid
die western and eastern states the
yields were small last season, due to
the failure in many instances, but
generally because of pests. Orchards
had been neglected and, in scores of
places, the trees have been permitted
to die through lack of even ordinary
attention, while, again, in others the
growers did not know how to combat
insection and diseases. 1t was to i'm
prove these conditions, by making
Investigations and suggesting rem
edies to bring about more satisfac-
tory results, that the growers were
invited to come to Spokane.
In 1896, the TOTAL PRODUCT of
the APPLE CROP of the country
was 100000 BARRELS, or 49,
$4,000 BUSHELS. Since then hun
dreds Of thousands of acres have
been added, and methods Of fruit
growing have improved, yet the gov
eminent reports show that the ag-
gregate crop in all of the states of
the Union was not more than 25,-
10000 barrels, or 62,5O0,0O0 BUSH
els in 1908.
To understand the decrease in the
production of apples in the Union in
the last twelve years, reference
should be made to the statistics COM
piled by the federal department of
agriculture. Growers produced co.
$4,000 barrels of apples in 1895,
AND 100000 BARRELS IN 1896,
THE BANNER YEAR IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE COUNTRY. THERE
WAS A DECREASE OF NEARLY
2S,000,000 BARRELS OR MORE
THAN THE ENTIRE CROP OF
1908, IN 1897, WHEN THE YIELD
AMOUNTED TO 41.536.000. An
other decrease followed in 1898, the
yield being placed at 23,570,O00 bar
rels. but in 1899 and 1900 there
were substantial increases, the
yields being 37,560,00o and 1880
900 barrels respectively. There was
a drop of 2O,890,000 barrels in 1901.
while 1902 showed an increase of
20,655,0 900 barrels, the crop that
year being estimated at 47,625, 900
barrels. Forty-five million barrels
of fruit were produced in 1903, and
in 1904, the yield was 100000 bar
rels greater. Then, in 1905, it
dropped to 23,5O0,0 barrels, and
in 1906 it increased to 36,13O,O00
barrels. The crop of 1907 fell off to
100000 barrels.
The apple-growing industry is
substantial one; in fact, few enter

We are going to tell you why we
believe the Methow valley was. but
very few years ago, not to exceed
a hundred, a great lake bottom. We
will tell you, in consequence, why
the soil is volcanic ash and silt

The South Pole

AWHILE the news of the discovery of
w the north pole by Commander
Peary and Doctor Cook has attracted
so much attention and excited so much
discussion the accomplishment of the
energetic officer of English marines,
Lieutenant Shackleton, toward the
south pole has been generally ignored
by the public.
With a little troop of daring com
panions on the ship Nimrod Shackleton
has approached as close to the south
pole as IS degrees 2s minutes. or dis
tance of about 100 miles.
The antarctic regions are a great
de- less known than the arctic regions.
The formidable graciers which sur
round the high shores of Victoria land,
in the middle of which smoke and
flames are thrown into the air by the
two voicanos with the sinister names
Erebus and Terror, are sufficient to
daunt the most intrepid explorer.
Lieutenant Shackieton left England
on the Nimrod July 80. 1907. and ar
rived at the land of Victoria in the
beginning of 1903. November 3, 1908,
he started toward the south pole upon
a glacier bristling with high mountains.
His sleighs were drawn by stout little
Manchurian horses and he had also
automobile sleds, which unfortunately
were only able TO carry a small guam
tity Of provisions.
The caravan suffered great priva-
tions Beaten back by the terrible
snow storms and frozen by the dread
full cold, Lieutenant Shackleton did not
quite reach the pole, but he missed Ii
only a little.
March l, 1909, the expedition re-
turned TO winter quarters after four
months Of effort and suffering borne
with great fortitude.
The expedition terminated. says
Lieutenant Shaekleton, upon a solid
plateau which extended as far as the
eye could reach. and from which he
concludes that the south pole is well
placed on a solid continent.
The icebergs detached from the ant
arctic regions are formidable, some
having been seen as high as ESQ feet
and from four to six miles in length.
They are stratifed horizontally in fine
compact layers and colored with tints
of beautiful azure

According to the observatory reports
from the University OF California. the
eclipse was visible for / hour and 22
minutes. The moon entered the partial
shadow at 1911 o'clock. but the begin

the naked eye until an hour later. The
eclipse became total at 1915 o'clock

Seal Pups Raised in Captivity

Boatswain ]. Thurber of the revenue
cutter Bear is the proud possessor of
two very unusual pets. They are a
pair of fine young fur seals. which lie
has succeeded in raising and tanning
The pups were found on the Pribi-
lof island during the cutters last
cruise to the north. Their mother had
been killed and the little ones were
left to starve.
Knowing that Thurber was familiar
with the habits of the animals, and
had had considerable experience in
caring for the young seal. the officials
of the island turned the little orphans
over to his charge. Thurber exhibits
these two large. healthy pups as proof
conclusive that seal pups can be raised
in captivity. He says:
II have experimental for a number
of years, and have discovered method
of raising the young seal, which will
probably result in preventing the ex-
tinction of the specie. 1 am also in
clined to believe that seals have more
intelligence than they are given credit
for. In fact, they are the brightest
animals l have ever tried TO train
They are also affectionate and they

USE THE FRONT PLATFORMS

Los ANGELES, Nov. 2.-[Edltor
Herald: 1 am mad" all the way
through. Yesterday sitting on the
front platform of a Maple avenue car
three men, smokers, occupying seats
there puffed away their offensive
smoke, by an ADVERSE wind, blowing
full in my face. l am aware the ordi-
nance has not gone into effect but
men might as well, If there is a shad-
ow of the gentleman in them. accus-
tom themselves to the smoking end"
Of the car-rear platform-now as to
wait until the last day and last hour.
The day was warm. Sitting beside me
was a lady, who said that every time
she came in town riding on the cars
it made her deathly sick when she had
to inhale the smoke from tobacco, that
neither her husband nor her sons were
smokers. 1t has the same effect on me
and hundreds of others, both men and
women. The lady said, 81 cannot stand
it, though am in my right place." and
left the car, riding only two or three
blocks. Another man getting on smok-
ing was too much for my stomach. /
went inside to escape the fumes and
tolerate the heat, closing the door,
expressed my views to an employe of
the road who CHANGED to be inside.
Glancing to the rear, / saw only two
men, as the smokers were occupying
the seats that will shortly be reserved
for women only. Nearing my destina-
tion. / went to the rear. AS 1 was
getting off the conductor felt called on,
in the interest of the men, though
had not spoken to him, to tell me that
women would be arrested if they oc-
cupied the smokers end of the car
any seat of the rear platform" BY
that time my temper "riz." told him
to keep the men off the front platform,
which is presumed to belong to the
women; that l was driven from there
by the fumes of their offensive cigars.
Since the edict went forth for the
sake Of my sex that they will not suf-
fer from compliance, and for my
own health, l have followed the law
to the letter. Have the men? 1 doubt
if one habitual smoker has. Before
this wise CD law was Promulgated
twice even when the car was full
have been compelled to give up my
seat though 1 had paid for it, and
stand the rest of the way to get away
from the fumes as best 1 could and
both times, when l have said, Pardon
me, sir, but L will have to leave my
seat" one said, "All right" and the
other impudently said, That's right;
go right on" and 1 did stand while
the gentleman (O puffed away in my
seat. AS said at the beginning, am
angry all the way through, and justi-
fed. When will men be men? When
will the time come if they have no re-
spect for their mothers, sisters, wives,
their whole wide sisterhood, they will
at least have some show of respect for
themselves?

no reason to be dlsgruntled. SO why
should the advocates of Greater Los
Angeles, civic righteousness, purity
in politics and PROGRESS be charac-
terized as disgruntled? What is there
to be disgruntled about? The chagrined
machine men, the tools of the bosses,
the puppets of the S. p, are the dis
gruntled persons. The only cause for
being disgruntled would be a restora-
tion of the conditions which made
majority of our good citizens disgrun-
tied in the first place. Just at present,
the only persons who are in genuine
state of disgruntlement are the machine
bosses, who never felt as helpless and
as hopeless as they do now. They have
been waiting and watching and watch
ing and waiting for a flaw in the ad-
ministration of the city's affairs that
might be magnifed into a fault they
could roar about.
They can find nothing. Like pack
Of beagles on foolish" trail, they are
at fault.
The friends of good government are
not disgruntled, and there is not the
slightest probability there win be a
restoration of causes for being dis
gruntled.
