LOW GRADE TASMANIA
APPLES ARE EVAPORATED
American Machinery Increases
Income of Growers

Evaporating low grade apples for
export has lately had a good start in
the apple producing districts of Tas-
mania and promises much increase.
During the last year, on account of the
establishment of several good apple
evaporating plants, utilizing up to date
American machinery, about 100000
was saved 10 the apple growers of the
state on apples which would otherwise
have nearly all been thrown away as
unstable waste on account of low
grade Even the cores and skin peel
ings of the hitherto waste apples now
have a market, being exported to
France, where they are used for sauces,
Vinegars, etc.
In the famous Huon river orchard
district all the machinery is from the
United States. The parers and the cor
ers dispose of the apples as fast as
the apples can be fed into them. The
apples are then sliced into chips and
and then weighed and packed under
presses until ready for market.
This is a new industry for Australia,
as there are not as yet any other evap-
Grating plants for apples in the COM
monwealth, notwithstanding that Aus.
tralia is a large producer of apples and
imports every year quite a quantity
of dried apples from other countries
The plants in the Huon river district
at present cater only to the Australian
market. and have no trouble in selling
their output in the commonwealth at
remuneratiye prices. The ventures in
this industry are said to be quite prof
liable to those engaged in it, as well as
beneficial to the apple producers, who
are now able to sell to advantage even
the poorest grades of fruit.

ATHLETES WARNED
AGAINST QUITTING
p. A. A. Sending Out Circular to
Put Stop to Growing
Evil Practice

Following out the resolutions adopted
by the Pacific athletic association at its
monthly meeting last Wednesday night
the new registration committee of the
association this week will issue a let
ter of both warning and instruction to
all athletic and other organizations
that hold amateur athletic meets as to
the manner of handling games. Here
after athletes entering meets and fail
ing to appear Will be called to strict
account. In the past many men have
entered games, secured their admission
tickets and failed to toe the mark.
Hitherto officials of the association
have charged nothing for handicapping.
but this is the only association where
this rule has not been enforced. The
expenses of the association have grown
to such an extent and the income is so
small that the board of managers has
found 1T necessary in order to keep up
their finances to charge for this work
The meet to be given by the Native
Sons Saturday, September 10 at the
stadium will be the largest meet of this
year and will undoubtedly excel even
the Portola meet of last year 1t is
the intention of the committee han
ding the games to bring together all
LIE NSIy DSSl lIdCh ana HolQ men OF
the entire coast. Athletes probably will
be brought from Seattle, Portland and
southern California. The regular list
of championship events will be run off,
including five mile run.
The matter Of setting date for the
Pacific athletic association champion
ships has not been fully decided as
yet. but the field day committee, which
consists of John Elliott, George James
and Joseph r. Hickey, will take the
matter up on the return of President
Peixotto next week. In October the
association will run off its fall handi-
cap meet on the University of Cali
fornia track and as all the college and
school men will be doing their fall
training at that time big entry list
should be the result.
This winter will see the largest num-
Der of indoor athletic meets ever held
on this coast. There are a number of
organizations that are planning to hold
meets, which in addition to the nu-
merous schoolboy meets will make it
an active winter, season.

TRACK NOTES

At the meeting held at the headquarters of the
Jockey club in New York few days ago several
to go on with racing after September l. Their
idea was that the new law should be tested. The
representatives of the Coney Island Jockey club,
which has dates from August 20 to September II,
did not appear to be enthusiastic over the
plan. The suggestion was made that the dates
could be transferred to Saratoga and test made
In that county.
1t was also said that Belmont park could begin
the fall meeting earlier and the other tracks fol-
low closely.
The turf magnates felt that the matter should
be settled by August l. so that in the event 1t
was decided not to race after September ] the
horsemen would have ample time to ship their
stables to other points.
Carroll Cook. who has returned from New York.
said yesterday that lawyers who were consulted
advised the Jockey club that test of the new
law would result In victory for tbe track, as 1t
was felt that the measures adopted by the legis-
lature at Albany would be declared unconsttu-
tional. Judge Cook looked at copy of the law
and he was satisfied that the courts would de-
clare it unconstitutional;

COOPERATIVE SCHEME IS
FOSTERED IN SCOTLAND
Various Union Societies Have
Membership of 405,I2o

Writing from Edinburgh Consul
Rufus Fleming says that the eleventh
annual conference of the Scotch section
of the cooperative union, on April %.
showed 295 cooperative societies in
Scotland, with total membership or
4O5, I29.
During 1909 the total sales amounted
to S110,539,671, or s1,969,759 less than
in 1908. The capital invested in the So
cieties by members at the end of the
year was s25,52S,7s2, an increase of
S34S, 5S7; and the societies held s2l.-
044,577 deposits, an increase of $1S6,SSS.
Much of the capital and most of the
deposit funds were dividends which
members had allowed to accumulate AT
interest.
The total profits earned during the
year reached the large sum of S15,-
260, ,03O. From this bonus on wages of
workers, grants to educational and
charitable purposes, ETC., were paid,
and the balance of s13,SS3,07S was al
lotted as dividends in proportion to the
amount of members purchases during
the year.
The societies had aggregate reserve
funds of S5,829.6S7 and owned land.
buildings, machinery and fixed stock to
the amount of s15,574,5S1. The wage
bill for the year was $7,602,70S

Open Betting Will Not
Be Revived

CHICAGO, July 16.-No betting will
ever be attempted ON racetrack in
the state of Illinois, according to
John Condor, owner of Harlem race
track. Condon's remarks were made
in reply to the query whether he in
tended to open Harlem track in the
immediate future, as has been reported
Whether 1 or anybody else around
Chicago will try to race this year 1
can not say" said Condor. How
ever, so far no plans have been made
to open up. Eventually l think the
pari nlutuel machines will solve the
problem. Open betting is a thing of the
past, but l do not think the public or
the authorities will object to the ma
chimes after they have been given a
trial.
Should 1 start up again l shall GER
tainly favor the machines, but local
conditions are in such chaotic state

100 ATHLETES TO
BE in Competition
Strong Teams Entered for Tr0=
phies Hung Up by Well
Known Organization

The games to be given today by the
Gaelic dancing society have been long
looked forward to by the various anna
teur athletes in this section of the
state. For four years past the society
has been conducting these contests
with great success, each year bringing
out an increased entry list, this year S
being the largest on record. Close to
a hundred athletes will participate in
the various games.
Unfortunately the Shell Mound track
is an exceedingly small one, with a
soft footing, and record breaking is
out of the question, yet nevertheless
the class of athletes that have entered
means some meritorious performances.
The strong Olympic club team is en-
tered with such good men as Ollie
Snedigar, Elliot P. Craig, Orval S.
Baumbaugh, Billy Garvin and Frank
Bressi, the high jumper, whose consist
ent work for the last year has been
one of the features of the winged o
team.
The Pastime athletic club, which cut
such a prominent figure in the Thistle
club games on independence day, will
also be prominent factor in today s
events. L. J. Carroll, who has been
doing consistent work in various field
days of this season, should prove a
dangerous man in the quarter mile
event. Among other prominent Pas
time men who have entered are Will
liam Noonan, H. M. Acton, c. NJ. Hurst
E. z. Prentice and Paul Hoffman.
E. A. Macgregor, the well known
Stanford half miller; Charles Morris
from the same college; James Donahue,
from the Olympic club, and A. F. Gates
of the Sacramento athletic club, are all
dangerous conteners in the various
events in which they are entered.
The relay race between the Parnell
football club and the O'Connell's is go-
ing to be one of the events of the day,
as each has a win to its credit and to-
day will decide which one will become
the permanent holder of the handsome
cup offered by the Gaelic club.
The Visitacion Valley athletic asso-
citation and the American athletic
clubs are strongly represented in all
the events, the latter being particular
ly strong in the jumps and the former
in the distance events. In addition to
the athletic events there will be the
usual dancing contests.

MONSTER WATER TOWER
BUILT OF CONCRETE

A combined water tower and tank
has been built of concrete blocks near
Brussels, where 1t is to be used in con-
nection with the international exhibit
ton, says the London Globe. The
tower and tank have a height of 145
feet. and the latter has a capacity of
2S0.000 gallons. The structure is circu-
lar and is built entirely of concrete
blocks, and without molding of any
kind except that used in the building
of the concrete reinforcing strips sur
rounding the top of the tank proper.
The inside of the tank is built up in
practically six stories, connected by a
winding stairway. These different floors
are divided into rooms, which will all
be occupied by engineers, foremen and
other workmen during the exhibition.

BRITISH SLOW TO
CHANGE CUSTOMS
Empty Title, "King of France
Borne for Many Years

The best reason for the continuance
of a custom, good or bad, in Great Brit
ain, is that 1t has the prestige of age.
tions to exchange the old style cal
endar for the new style largely for the
reason probably that the calendar had
been corrected by the pope. After the
operation had been performed the ma
tion entirely recovered.
Yet even Great Britain, says the In
dianapolis News, has precedent for the
abandonment of old customs and old
phrases. There was the abandonment
of the title King of France"
On November 5. 1900, was settled by
the privy council that in consequence
of the Irish union the royal style and
title should be changed on the first of
January following-nameIy, George
III, by the grace of God, of Great Brit
ain, France and Ireland, King, De-
fender of the Faith to George H. by
the grace of God. of the kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, King, De-
fender of the Faith And then the
title of King of F'rance"-which, as
the late William Allen of Ohio would
have said, was a id barren ideality''
which had been borne by English
monarchs for 432 years, was Abandoned
1t was the Salic law which excluded
Edward III from the inheritance of
France, but Queen Elizabeth claimed
the title, nevertheless. asserting with
a good round oath that if she could not
be queen, she would be king of France,
though Calais, the last English foot
hold in France, had been lost
The abandonment of the title Of
King of France led to the official
correspondence of Great Britain being
carried on in the English language in
stead of in French, as had previously
been the custom.
A droll story is told in connection
with the change. In the time of Queen
Elizabeth, during the war between
England and Spain, commissioners were
appointed on both sides to treat OF
peace. The Spanish commissioners pro-
posed that the negotiations should be
carried on in the French tongue. OBJ
serving sarcastically that the gentle-
men of England could not be ignorant
of the language of their fellow sub
jects, their ruler being queen of France
as well as of England.
Nay. gentlemen dryly replied one
of the English commissioners "the
French is too vulgar for a business of
this Importance. We will therefore. If
you please, rather treat in Hebrew, the
language of Jerusalem, of which your
master calls himself king, and in
which you must, of course, be as well
skilled as we are in French"

II the Chinese merely learn English

1t was very largely the doctrines of
John Locke that produced the French
