ZONE HUNDRED TREE CONTEST"
Suggested as a Feature for the Seventh
National Apple Show

L. M. Cox, we'll known fruit
grower OF Zillah, Wash, has suggested
to Manager Gordon c. Corbaley, Of the
Seventh National Apple Show, the
holding OF "One Hundred Tree Con-
test among apple growers Of the Pacific
Northwest this year. The board OF
trustees are considering the sugges-
ton favorably.
The plan proposed is TO have each
contestant TO assume personal super
vision of 100 specified trees in his or
chard, keeping a record of the date of
each operation, equipment used and
kind and amount Of material used.
Photographs would be taken after
pruning, one when thestrees are in full
blossom, one after thinning, and the
last just before picking. 1t is pro-
posed to base net returns on the mar
ket price at the time of the seventh
national apple show, November 16 to
81.
Mr.. Cox would have each contestant
exhibit at the show ten boxes OF extra
fancy apples from his 100 trees, in ad-
dition to five boxes Of fancy, four boxes
of &C" grade, and one box Of culls,
all packed for commercial purposes.
He proposes to have the following
considerations used as a basis Of award:
Total Weld, percentage Of extra fancy,
fancy and &C" grade, records, ac-
accounts, photographs and net profit.
AS prizes he would give ten per cent
of net profit for first, roll top desk for
second, and a set OF blank records for
keeping farm accounts for third.

The Present Depression, and Causes

The following statement was made
recently by M. F. Backus president OF
the National Bank of Commerce Of Sc
attic on financial conditions.
Money was never more plentiful, ="
he said, and the banks have plenty
TO loan out at low rate of interest il
there was any demand for it, but an
air of uncertainty prevails and money
is allowed TO lie in the banks without
being invested. II is all due to ad-
verse legislation and the recent move
ment of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Public Service Com
mission to regulate railroad rates, and
If it keeps up it will mean bankruptcy
to the railroads in the end. The big
gest buyers Of lumber on the coast are
the railroads, when they have to face
regulation Of rates, they are inclined to
be cautious and retrenchment sets in,
and not only the lumber industry, but
the iron and steel industries as vel
must suffer. If such conditions a:

there would never have been the greai

country. l see no end to this de-
preston until investors know where
they are at.
Mr.. Backus, however, stated thai
business in Seattle showed some sign:
OF improvement over that OF a yeal

With 2256 signers, Okanogan's pc
tition to submit the question OF the
removal of the county seat to the vo-
tiers was fled with the county commits
sioners. Omak filed a similar petition
with 1912 signers. There are ap-
proximately 500 who signed both Pc

deliberation as to legality. Okanogan
could spare the duplicate names and
still be within the legal limit, but
eliminating them would invalidate

The governors Of seven western
states, at a conference in Denver last
week, went on record in a demand
that congress establish two more re-
gional reserve banks-one in the Pa
cifc Northwest and the other in the
Rocky Mountain district. This was
done on a motion by Governor Lister
Of Washington and concurred in by
the governors of Nevada, Wyoming,
Oregon, Idaho, Colorado and Utah,
The almost prohibitive distances, from
the various districts represented, to
San Francisco was one of the reasons
urged for the establishment of addi-
tional banks.

The custom Of holding courts martial
In the British navy after every case Of
shipwreek has a curious origin. In
1T41 the Wager, one Of Commodore
Anson's vessels. was wrecked Off the
coast of Chile. most Of the crew being
saved The men and some Of the jun
ior officers held that they were no
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreck. but
the captain. whose name was Dayy
Cheap, differed. treated them as mutt
neers and shot one Of his midshipmen
He was then deposed. and most Of TIE
crew made of In three Of the hosis.
Later when it was proposed to pra ed
against the so called mutineers tie law
officers of the crown decided tli the
men had heen correct in ther view.
This discovery led to the framing OF
section 81 Of the articles Of war. which
provides that in the case Of shlpwreck.
destruction or capture by the enemy a
ship is held to remain in commission
pending inquiry by court martial.

PROMPT ON SCENE

That Dominic Gentellalli is alive
and able to be about this morning is
due entirely to the prompt action
and material assistance Of Special
Policeman Adolpl Palmer. Gentel-
lalli. who conducts small grocery
store on North Commercial street.
was attacked last night as he was
returning home by a thug who lay
in waiting for him. The assailant
is one Clio MaraZzo. an Italian form
erly employed in the coke ovens at
Sopris. Marazzo is now in the coun-
ty Jail awaiting arraignment, and is
charged with assault to kill.
Gentellalli. who lives on College
street, was going home last night in
company with his young son. They
left Commercial street for the short
cut down the tracks and across the
-. and r.. G. railroad bridge. Wien
passing the ]. C. Coulson commission
house they were accosted by the as
sailant. AS the victim replied he
was struck over the head by Marazzo
the force of the blow knocking him
down. Two blows were given and at
the second. Gentellalli's boy cried out
for help. Luckily, Palmer happen
ed to be within hearing distance. and
ran to the scene. The would-be pipe
man showed fight and it was only at
the point of gun that he surren-
dered Robbery seems to have been
the motive for the attack. as the
storekeeper had large sum of mon.
ey with him at the time. Marazzo
in making the attack. used piece OF
gas pipe and inflicted quite serious
scalp wound upon Gentellalli. He
was placed under the care of DR.
Beshoar and was able. this morning
to appear against his assailant.

of one of these has had
the misfortune of being fleeced by
one of his helpers with a propensity
OF being nimble fingered. At about
~ o'clock this morning the man In
charge went down town and left the
stand in charge of his assistant. Upon
returning in 10 minutes. he found
the stand intact, but the keeper had
vanished. This he considered no
great loss, until further investiga-
tion revealed the fact that all the
money left at the stand had done
likewise. This amounted to $S5, 50
