Palmer Takes Issue
With the Insurgents

The criticism called forth a personal
letter from Or. Everette. who ex-
planned that the effects would be felt
for several days after the earth had
passed out of the visible appendage.
However, the Scientific American
supports Mr.. Palmer that 1t will be
enveloped only few hours.
In speaking OF the visit of the
comet Mr.. Palmer said: THE Scien-
tific American says that on May IS
when we pass through the come
tory appendage", as DR.. Everette
calls Il, we will be about 5000, 900
miles further from the nucleus than
we were in the year 1895, and 1t also
remarks that we will be enveloped
only a few hours. There is also con-
ISOLATION in the fact that on one OF
the past visits of the comet we were

Pupils of the packing school are still

commercial pack today at the Apple
institute and tomorrow this
mode of procedure will be changed to
that of wrapping. This in itself is an
art and N. Y. Tostevin, under whose di-
rection the work is being carried out,
will make practical demonstrations of
this work. Both the square and dag
onal or diamond packs are being taught
the class and as these are the recog-
nlzed commercial packs of the north
west, it is considered all that is es-
sential.

Upon the return of the fire laddies to

and out-of-sorts, but this is explain
ed by the fact that some unkind words
were spoken in his ear by his keepers
while awaiting for the chemical line
men to do their stunt at the fire. This
is the first time in the animals SER
vice at the central station that he has
violated the rules to such an extent,
and it is small wonder that the fire
boys were taken completely off their
guard. Once cognizant of the true
registration Of the Indicator, the horse
took his pace beneath the suspended
harness, and when the big doors
swung open, and the last snap was
fastened old Ralph" and his white
companion made one of the most sur
prising dashes ever witnessed in this
city. But the boys are fearful lest
this proceeding become fixed habit

his assistants wondered at the strange
action of the animal But that dis
concerted the noble beast not in the
least.
Leisurely, without the slightest show
of excitement or worry, old Ralph
made his way across the building un-
til he was within a few feet of the
center standard, to which is attached
the indicator. He paused, raised his
head to see the figures, and calmly
returned to- his point of duty, after
which the apparatus was taken to the
scene of the conflagration

The only way the men at the CEN

action is that he was recently given
one of the hardest and longest runs
in the history of the department.
Through mud and slush the we'll
trained animals hauled the chemical,
and when finally the scene of the fire
was reached, the beasts were all but
exhausted. For want of a better ex-
planation, it is assumed that Ralph
desired to see what he was up against
before leaving the station, and it is

September 19 to "a is Date
Of Next Holding of
Annual Event.
GOOD WEATHER is
ALMOST ASSURED
Fall Rains, Burden of Last
Two Years, Almost Sure
To Be Avoided.

The annual Walla Walla county fair
is to be held the week of September
10 to "a. Word to that effect was re-
ceived this afternoon by officials of
the association, w. A. Ritz having
represented the local association at
the annual meeting of the North Pa
cific association held today. The date
selected for this countys fair is en-
tirely satisfactory to those interested
in the success of the regular autumn
fair and race meet, as it is certain
that good weather conditions will pre-
vail
The Portland fair is to be the first
on the circuit, Salem being second,
and Walla Walla third. This will en-
able horsemen to bring their animals
here for the events of the week, and
at the close of the Walla Walla mair
they may proceed to North Yakima,
which is fourth in line, and thence to
Spokane, where the Interstate fair
will close the fall events on the cir
cult. The dates were apparently ar
ranged with a view to facilitating the
shipping of horses from one fair to
another, as the animals may be ship
ped from one place to another at
small expense, and at the same time,
no delays will be experienced because
of unsatisfactory railroad connec
tiOns.
Directors of the local association
who were seen this afternoon, eX-
pressed satisfaction with the date set
for the 1910 fair. For the past two
years, when the date was set in
October, unfavorable conditions have
threatened to mar the pleasures of
the week, and in 1908 three rainy days
served to reduce the attendance and
the gate receipts, in addition to max
ing turf events and good time almost
an impossibility.
Secretary R. H. Johnson is now in
California, but it is understood w. A.
Ritz was given full authority to ac-
cept or reject the date set by the
North Pacific association. In view
of the fact that other fairs are as
early in the season, no complaint is to
be registered from the Walla Walla
association, and every effort is to be
mt forth To make the fair and race
meet one of the grandest successes in
the history of the organization.

Well Known Fruit Grower
Is In Midst of Legal Muss
Hard to Work Out.
SUITS, JUDGMENTS
AND ATTACHMENTS
Eastern Fruit Company and
Railroads Figure in
The Puzzle.

J. L. Dumas, one of the principal
apple growers of the Northwest and
the leading orchardist in the Walla
Walla Valley is almost enveloped in
a mass of judgments, suits and coun-
ter suits which promise to hang fire
until either he or the other fellows
have at the present time.
Last summer Dumas brought suit
against the o. r. & n. company for
failure to furnish cars to transport
his crop of apples to New York. The
failure of the railroad company was
in the year 1907, the period made
memorable by the panic, and although
the case was threshed out for many
days in the circuit court here, which
was presided over by Judge Edward
Whitson, in the federal court, Dumas
received a verdict for $6,75O. The o.
r. & N. has appealed the case to the
San Francisco, and the case is now
pending. Dumas brought action for
$1,000, which would only partially
repay him for the 10000 boxes of ap-
Piles he had contracts to sell to the
New York firm, but which he had to
dispose of in Chicago on depressed
market.
After White and Company had con-
tracted to purchase the crop at a
price averaging about $1.40 per box.
the market slumped and there was an
overflow on apples in the Gotham mar
ket
notwithstanding this White &
Company brought suit against Dumas
for failure to fulfill his contract. 1t
was thought the case had been drop
ped and the New York firm wrote Mr..
Dumas to that effect. He was none
the wiser until, on his way to WASH
ington, d. c., to fight the Lotter bill.
He went via New York and while
there, White & Company secured per-
sonal service on him. Even then Du-
mas did not think suit could be
brought in the New York courts when
the apples were to be delivered f. o.
b Dayton, were to be paid for i'm
Dayton and had been contracted for
in Dayton. AS a result judgment for
$4,000 was given the White firm
against Dumas for his failure to ship
the apples as per contract.
While their agent was i'm the north
west, the White & Company repre-
sentatives olso contracted to purchase
ten car load of apples from Ritchie &
Gilbert, of Toppinish. Owing to the
depressed market White & Company
refused to live up to their contract.
Gilbert learned that the judgment
against Dumas was soon to be trans
ferred to the Walla Wal,a courts for
execution and it had no sooner ar
rived here until they. tn Toppenish
