STEAMER ROsAllE TO REMAIN on THE RUN

J, With Strs. Morning Star and Burton J
--Contract Effective July 1.
The present contract for CARVING
the mail from Seattle to Bellingham
via the San Juan islands, now held
by the Puget Sound Navigation Co.
/ expires June 80. The new contract
entered into between the postoffice
4 department and the San Juan Navi-
/ cation Go. becomes effective July
/ and will be operative for period
/ Of one year. For the time being
| the new company will operate the
steamers Morning Star, which is
now being fitted up for the service,
and the Burton. Negotiations are
now pending however for the pur-
chase of a large and fast steamer
to take the Burton's run and it is
expected to have the new boat here
within the next few weeks. Capt.
G. p. Basford has resigned his posi-
ton as master of the steamer Island
er and will take command of the
Burton as soon as she goes on the
run. The company is to be congrat-
ulated upon having secured his SER
vices as he is one of the most COM
petent and popular steamboat mas
tiers that has ever stood at the wheel
of boat operating among the is
lands. He has been on the Islander
for many years. having made 1,678
trips with her and during that time
has not met with single accident
Of any consequence.
It is the avowed intention Of the
Puget Sound Navigation Co. to con-
tinue the Rosalie on the run, Presi-
dRA Joshuas the company
having issued tll6 following circular
to that effect:
Seattle, Wash, June II, 1910.
To all concerned:
1t has come to our attention that
an erroneous report has been circu-
lated through the San Juan Islands
regarding our steamer sevice.
We wish to state that it is not
our intention to withdraw the steam
er Resale from the island run and
that we will continue to operate her
on the same schedule that we have
been in the past, thus insuring you
a first class passenger and freight
service.
We respectfully ask for contin-
uance of the business you have fa-
vored us with in the past and you
can rest assured that same will al
ways receive our best attentions.
Yours truly,
Joshua Green.
President.
AS everyone who is at all familiar
with the situation knows, it will be
impossible, for a time at least, to
create business enough on the run
to warrant the operating Of three
steamers. It cannot be done with
any degree Of profit. There is a
little money in it for the company
that can have the route to itself,
but if the business is to be split up
the balance sheets of both compan-
les will show 9 marked deficit at
the end of each month.
The Rosalie has given most ex-
cellent service and doubtless the
new boats will do the same but the
companies operating them are al
most sure to be obliged to hang on
to the hot end of the stick SO long Is
the war continues. It is said that
rate war will be declared as soon
as the Morning Star goes "a the
run but if the boats were to carry
their passengers for nothing, but
few more people would be induced
to patronize them Time only can
tell what the outcome will Be.

Thinning Apples

I =
Prof. RE. Trumble, Of Wenat.
chez, gives apple growers directions
for thinning, in a recent issue Of
the Republic as follows:
The proper time to thin apples il
just after the June fall of apples.
The sooner the better. The fruit
should be thinned before the seeds
develop, as it takes more energy,
food, etc.,to form the seeds than all
the rest of the apple. Apples thin
themselves a great deal. Peaches
very rarely do, although some vari
cites, as the Elberta, do. Prunes
do not thin themselves, neither do
apricots.
As to the amount of thinning or
dinarily one apple to the spur is the
rule, but in some cases this is too
many, and some of the spurs should
be removed, and again where a tree
bears its fruit on the tips of the
limbs it is necessary to leave two to
the spur, or materially reduce the
crop. The grower should study to
leave all the apples the limb will
bear well. This varies with the
strength of the tree. An apple
every four inches is good general
rule. In thinning always leave the
stem hanging to the spur. Half a
dozen stems removed from a spur
will cause such large amount Of
evaporation and injure the remain
ing stem so much that often the re-
naming apple will be blighted. The
apples to be thinned may be picked
off by hand or cut off with scissors.
The long handled grape scissors are
good for this purpose. When the
apples are picked off, if the grower
will take the small apple between
the thumb and first finger and with
the second finger against the stem
bend the apple quickly at right
angles to the stem the small apple
in most varieties will be easily re-
moved, leaving the stem on the fruit
spur. This is the quickest method
Of thinning apples and can readily
be used by anyone after little
practice.
The Wenatchee Republic seems to
be Of the opinion that because the

pley of the Tesla coal company. filed a

OLD SWEETHEART
CAUSES TROUBLE
Husband Can Not Forget Her
and His Wife Sues for
Divorce


OAKLAND. Jan. 15.-rhrough the
many years of their married life, in
which four children were born and
grew up to maturity the lurking
shadow of the husbands early sweet
heart threatened the happiness of J. w.
Wore, manager of a Richmond quarry,
and his wife Elizabeth, who is well
known as a magazine writer. To this
effect is a divorce complaint filed today
by Mrs. Wore. who depicts the 81 years
OF mental anguish she suffered because
ner husband could not drive out of his
mind the memory of a woman he had
loved before he met his wIfe.
The Vores were married in Iowa in
1892. From the first the wife noticed
a strangeress in her husband. He was
distracted and thinking of something
else when she spoke to him. Wore
finally told her that he had wronged
another woman by marrying, and that
he had made the other woman unhappy
for life by spurning her and taking the
wife ne did.
During the first years of their mar
Tied life yore contented himself with
thinking Of the sweetheart of his youth
but later Mrs. Wore declares, visited
her. The affinity was living in Los
Angeles.
Five years ago, Mrs. Wore declares,
her husband left her. Since then she
has seen little Of him, though she has
generally known where he was. She
supported herself by writing stories for
magazines.
