LAST MESSAGE YESTERDAY.
The America Then Was 500 Miles on It's
Ocean Voyage.

Siaseonset, Mass, Oct. l7.-When last
heard from yesterday--l2:45 p m.-the
America had been in the air just eighteen
minutes less than twenty-nine hours,
and, having covered approximately 800
miles, must have averaged in progress
between 10 and IL miles an hour. At
this rate the craft will not pass Sable
island, 400 miles distant from Nantucket,
until Q o'clock Tuesday morning, and
Cape Race, $50 miles farther, until 7
o'clock Wednesday evening.
Brisk westerly winds aided the pass
age yesterday and, with engines idle
while of Nantucket, the wireless must
have been operated by storage batteries.
This probably accounts for the breyity
of Irwin's messages, for he was doubt
less boarding his limited supply of en-
ergy. With the motors in operation, a
dynamo can be pressed into service, but
the sparkling interferes with the reeeiy-
ing, and better results are obtained when
they are silent

To the Legislature.

The News in all sincerity wishes It
could say that our servants at Mont
peIier would this year take a leaf out
Of the record which the last former leg
islature left behind when it adjourned
Within the memory OF man, no legisla-
ture received. sucn general condemna-
tion-for its sins OF omission and com
mission as the one that adjourned in the
early days Of 1909. The first two cal
endar weeks of the current session have
passed and nothing has been done. On
ly the mere organization has been ac-
complished. The first week two days
were lost. The adjournment Friday cuts
of a day and a half Of last week and
one day tMonday) this week.
1t is possible that there is nothing
ready to work on, like similar delays
in our courts. But, why is there not
something ready for action3 There are
no doubt many b. \ the pockets OF
the members and rs and no doubt
some in the hand, le revision com

in the legislature? The term opened
ten days ago. Surely it ought to be
possible to set the machine grinding in
less time than that. The News is not
disposed to be critical in this matter
nor to advise haste in legislation On
the contrary, we are advising them TO
avoid the haste and slipshod work which
is sure to follow proerastination at the
beginning
This is the day Of conscience stirring
in public life. The people are looking
for efficient service from their servants
Every man in public employment should
give his time, his thought and his best
cpdeavor 10 the public business. That
is what is wanted now. The theory ap-
pears to nave been that the servants
that the people place in public Office are
the masters and not the servants Of the
people. That idea has now become ex.
tinct. Public officials are now public
servants and those who found their
conduct upon this fact viii be better of,

business is serious business and TO avoid
scandal il must be done bv conscience.

TAG DAY RECEIPTS.
Returns Are Not Quite as Large as One
Year Ago.

Year Ago.
Although complete returns have not
yet been obtained from the "tag day"
campaign for the City hospital held Sat
mday, the sum Of S$5 has been turned
over to the chairman of the executive
committee Contributions have been
coming throughout the day, and by to-
morrow it is expected that a detailed
report of the amount received in this
city and surrounding towns may be Civ
en- out. The proceeds Of this years tag
day have fallen short of the amount
obtained one year ago, but it is hoped
that at least $500 viii be realized by
tonight
There are several reasons which might
account for the failure to equal last
years contribution, but perhaps the
greater part OF the shortage results from
the fact that number Of persons who
promised to canvass the streets were
unable to participate at the last minute.
The committee was keenIy disappointed
in this, as several territories were neces-
sarily overlooked in assigning the can
vassers Saturday morning. Complete re-
turns from the public schools reveals 8
sum OF S2s, which the children Of the
city have contributed, a larger sum than
was received last year from the same
source This money win be used in re-
furnishing the main hall Of the hospital
building.
Returns from villages within the town
Of Barre indicate that much larger sum
will be contributed from outside the city
than in last years campaign. 4 detailed

WILL INACCURATE
APPLE SHOW
Display of Methow Valley
Products Will Be Made
in Wenatchee.

A large tent will be placed on the
lots between the Elman Hotel build
ing and the old Columbia Valley
Bank on Wenatcflee avenue, and
display of apples grown in the Met
how valley will be made. 1t is hoped
that this is the beginning of a per-
manent institution and that an APP
pie show will be held in Wenatchee
each year to display the products of
the upper country, and that all the
districts. including the Okanogan,
Methow, Chelan and Entiat will unite
in this movement.
The show is being arranged by
President F. H. Furey, of the Furey-
Culver company, a concern which is
heavily interested in Methow valley
lands. He feels that hundreds of
people in Wenatchee have heard a
great deal regarding the Methow
valley and it's adaptability for grow
ing orchards, but they have never
had an opportunity to see display
of large number of varieties of ap-
pies grown in that district 1t is the
purpose of this apple show to exhi-
bit a number of varieties grown in
that valley.
