more than half covered with crimson

The stalk is an inch long, slender and

The basin is rather shallow, distinctly
furrowed, the burrows often carried to
the deep cavity. The calyx is often
closed, sometimes partly open. The

to it."
The fame of the Palouse apple has
spread, and from small beginning it
can now be found in most of the orchards
throughout the Palouse. It is Pa
louser, and like all Palouse it is hard to
beat.

THE PALOUSE APPLE ORIGINATED HERE
George Ruedy, the " Burbank of the Pa
lOuse," Largely Responsible for Its
Introduction and Development.

George Ruedy, the we'll known nur-
seryman and fruit grower Of Colfax, just
to fill in little spare time, placed box
OF apples in the real estate office OF Fred
Ratiiff last Monday that are worth going
miles to see. They are of the PalOuse
variety and 60 60 to the box-fOur tiers,
10 apples to the tier. They are perfect
specimens and should, probably will,
find their way to the National Apple
Show in Spokane next month. This is
non irrigated fruit, OF course, and moth
ing can give clearer demonstration of
the adapta bility of the Palouse country
for raising apples than the box spoken of.
The variety known as the PaIOuse ap-
pie originated here. 1t was raised from
seed brought from Illinois in 1879 by j..
ii. Lausch, and has attained it's present
high standing for size. beauty, taste and

the Burbank of the Palouse" The
original tree stands on the Arrasmith
place, five miles east of ColfaA, and is
pointed to with pride by those instru-

high standard. 1t ripens in October, but
will keep in good condition until Feb
ruary. Horticulturists have been puz-
zled in the past to state what known va

Trout for Palouse River.

The Palouse and POtlatch rivers are
being stocked with trout by the state
of Idaho and in couple OF years will
offer rare sport for fishermen. r C..
West OF Moscow, assistant chief deputy
game warden of the state of Idaho, took
$4,000 steel-head trout from the Sand
point hatchery to the head waters OF the
Palouse Thursday.
The $4,000 fish were carried in %
large milk cans and it was one of Mr.
Vests duties during the two days and
one night he was on the way to pump
air into the cans each twenty minutes.
1t was necessary for him to be constant
ly with the fish during the entire trip.
The fish have been hatched FIVE weeks
and are ] z inches long. 1t will be two
years before they commence to multiply
Mr.. West states that it is better to trans
they grow larger. He believes he can
get the rs 900 minnows landed in the
Palouse and PotIatch without losing
one.
During the last fiscal year more fish
and fish eggs were distributed by the
bureau OF fisheries in the United States
than ever before in it's history. For the
first time the total of fish and eggs dis
tributed was Biz 3O1, ,535 = Palouse

compelled to pay for the fun.
Our fellow citizens Of EIberton shut up

came dOEn 800 strong, many Of them
remaining the balance of the week. The
