Washington Indian.

Was Planted Twenty Years Ago by
Washington Indian.
Thirty thousand dollars was the sum
recently offered an eastern Washing
ton nursery company for an apple tree
located near Lake Chelan. The prefer
was made by a syndicate which de-
sired to propagate the tree. 1t was re-
jected by the nursery company, which
Will develop the fruit itself.
The tree IS twenty years old and is
called the Chelan. The fruit is golden
yellow and is said to be different from
that OF any other apple grown in
Washington. 1t is also said to pos
sess exceptional keeping qualities, a
box having been kept in storage in
Spokane for two years without any
marked deterioration.
Twenty years ago, the story runs. an
Indian planted a handful of apple
seeds, three of which grew. The fruit
OF but one OF the trees was good for
anything. The tree is now of great
size and a prolific bearer. Recently
at the national apple show at Spokane
fruit from the tree took first prize for
new varieties of apples.

OWNERSHIP or THE AIR
NOW EXCITING INTEREST.
Interesting Theories Explained at Po-
Iiticai Science Meeting.

Aerial Jurisdiction" was the sub
iect Of a paper read recently by George
G. Wilson of Harvard university at
the meeting of the American Political
Science association at St Louis Pro
fessor Wilson told of the three princi-
pal theories that have been establish
ed as to who controls the air with re-
spect to aerial navigation.
These three theories. he said, were
promulgated at the meeting of the In
ternational conference on aerial navt-
cation held at Paris.
The first theory is that the air Is
free for navigation by any machine,
regardless of it's nationality
The second theory is that the state
has the right of Jurisdiction over all
the air above IT, the same boundaries
applying In the air over the states as
on terra frnna-
The third theory is that the aerial
space may be regarded in the same
light as the ocean-namely, that 1t is
free. with certain limitations. The

ocean has a three mile zone which
each nation controls along its coast
This system might be applied to the
air by establishing height limit, say.
seven thousand feet, below which con-
troll would be vested in the state and
above which the air would be free as
the high seas.
The second of these three systems
is most favored for the control of the
air, Professor Wilson said. The aerial
rights of the private property owner
also have been considered, and it Is
held that he controls the air above his
property to a certain height. Above
that the state Jurisdiction is in force.

around 100000 as against a popula-

Swedish metropolis.
