PROBLEM Of DISTRIBUTION
Important Conference to be
Held at Apple Show.
TO GET SYSTEM PERFECTED
Chairman Day Speaks Of Value
Of the Proposition.

The fifth National Apple show
in Spokane this fall is expected to
accomplish one thing in particular
which will be OF grea. value to the
growers throughout the northwest.
This will be the launching of
thoroughly organized movement
to solve the problem OF distribu-
tion.
To secure the result conference
Of growers, city and country bank
ers, transportation men and busi-
ness men will be held in Spokane
during the apple show, November
II to IS. In speaking Of the plan,
w. Z. Day, president Of the Day
& Hanson Security company and
chairman of the apple show board
Of trustees, said:
"The Northwest as an apple
producing district has gained the
favorable attention and recognition
Of the world. 1t is now incumbent
on US to 60 still farther.
"What we propose is con-
ference during the apple show to
be participated in by the growers,
city and country bankers, transpor-
tation men and business men to
try to throw some light on the
question of distribution. Compe-
tent authorities declare there is nc
/, danger of over. production Of ap,
Piles. But we must get a system
of distribution perfected, and i
| the apple show can be of service
in this regard it will be peri prmint
a great work.
"The orchardists and buyer,
themselves have no fear of over
production ana men who are: in
formed as to conditions hold tn
same opinion. The confer enc
planned should be Of great .valu
to the apple industry of the North
west. 1t will bring together me-
representing all phases of tn
work, and the problems of dis
tribution and financing should b
clarified to great extent as a re
suit"

Straight Party Ticket.

The Progressive ticket 10 fdahg
may 20 on The ballot as straight
party ticket Under dc cision of supreme
court, says the State.man.
The primary laws do not effect the
right to 20 on ballot by petition, but
it is thought that each candidate
should have separate petition and all
candidates should not be nominated
by one petition.
Other stumbling blocks it is
claimed, may be cast !tI the way OF

Z. Dandy to Clerk f. Wenz of Rath-
drum Independent school district No.

tains the information that the 40 per
cent valuation in the Village Of

levy made BY the village trustees will
therefore raise $22S2. 26 taxes for the

Wonderful Waters Credited by People
of India With All Sorts of
Magnetic Attributes.

A remarkable Indian ceremony is
the Kumbakonam Mammalian festi-
val. This feast takes place once a
year. but the Hindu gods are supposed
to visit the sacred tank on each
twelfth anniversary. 1t is said that
the god Brahma once requested silva
to collect the essence of all the waters
in the world. 1t Is understood that
silva succeeded in doing this, placing
the fluid in a pot, which he hid away
on the top Of a mountain During
the flood this pot floated away from
its position, and when the waters sub
sided 1t rested at a spot some dis
lance away, now known as Kun
bakonam. silva, who happened to be
hunting In the vicinity, saw the pot
and, drawing his bow and arrow, shot
at 1t with disastrous results. The wa
ter, rushing out, filled hollow, and
this at the present time is the re-
nowned tank. This tank Is now a place
of pilgrimage, where, during the fes-
tival, untold thousands OF the faithful
dip themselves In the wonderful wa
ter, which Is credited with all sorts of
magical attributes.-Wide World Mag

Pitched Battle With Gypsies.

Some gypsies infesting the forests
in the neighborhood of Fulda, Prussia,
who have been hunted for weeks past,
by the inhabitants and the military,
have continued their nocturnal incur
sions into villages and lonely farms,
where they lay their hands on any
thing they can take. A few days ago
the population of Hunfeld, led by
Baron Schenk, local landowner,
went In hot pursuit Of the thieves,
and, tracing them to the border of
forest, surprised them whilst feasting
on the spoil of the farm yards. A
pitched battle ensued between the two
parties. One gypsy was wounded
by shot from Baron Schenk's re-
volver, but some of the band took him
on their shoulders and ran into the
forest, while the rest covered their
flight with steady fire. Then, turn
Ing, they fed in their turn and were
lost in the forest. The whole country
side Is now searching for them.

RELICS OF THE BRONZE AGE
Weapons and Ornaments Made In
karst Mountains.

A remarkable find of prehistoric
weapons and ornaments has been
made in cavern at st. Kanzion, In
the Karst mountains, not far from
Abbazia. The cavern, which is known
as the Gave OF Flies" from the num-
Der Of insects which, apparently breed
Ing there, Issue forth at certain times
of the year, is subterranean cham
Der with perpendicular depth of
one hundred and fifty feet, the only
entrance to which is by hole In the
roof. 1t was recently explored by
some climbers with the help OF a long
rope ladder. A Roman helmet, dating
from the beginning of the Christian
era, which the owner had apparently
dropped down the hole, was first
found. Encouraged by this the i'm
perial museum sent men to dig into
the earth and stones which have fall
len from the roof and sides and form
the floor of the cavern, and at a depth
of three feet they discovered over a
thousand articles of bronze, including
two hundred lance heads, number of
swords, axes, clasps and vessels. The
last named had all been burned
through by fire. The date of the arti-
cles Is estimated at about 1000 B. G..
Since 1t appears impossible that men
in the bronze age should have lived at
the bottom of such a deep and mac
cesstble cavern archaeologists believe
the weapons and vessels must have
been thrown down the hole as a sacrI-
fee to some subteranean deity.-Vien-
