SEARCHING OUT
new KIND APPLE
GIGANTIC EXPERIMENTS NOW BE-
ING CONDUCTED UNDER DIREC-
TION OF c. c. VINCENT.
Cross Breeding Apple Seedlings ut Uni
versity horticultural Department
May Produce Distinct Variety.

| One of the most gigantic experiments
in apple breeding ever undertaken in
the northwest is now well under v "
at the university. 1t is being directed
by Professor C. c. Vincent of the de
partment of horticulture. The eXper-
iment involves the growing of more
than 1000 Seeding trees germinated
from over one hundred different
crosses between all of the best known
commercial apples of the mort lwest.
The purpose of The big undertaking,
which is now in its second year, is to
discover if possible a new variety
which will bear only the good qualities
claimed by the original varities from
which it is terminated.
OF the hundred different crosses one
is between the Ben Davis and che
Jonathan. Through this cross it is
sought to produce an apple that will
unite the excellent neeping Qualities
and prolificacy of the Ben Davis with
the superior flavor and color of th'-
Jonathan. The ultimate result of the
numerous crossings will be, it is
hoped, to originate variety that will
have a greater commercial value both
as a shipper and as a seller than any
which is now on the markets
1t will be several years yet before
any actual results can be obtained
from the cross breeding since nc seed
lings older than two years are now
on hand. Eighteen hundred two-year-
old trees are now being removed from
the departments nursery and given
permanent places in the orchard. An
other set of $500 one-year-old seed
lings is being grown in the nursery !
and will not be transplanted for an
other year. In addition to these, 1000
are being terminated in the |
and will not be planted |
until next year.
After the big experiment has been
completed bulletin showing the ac-
.ual results which are obtained will
De published for circulation among the !
ruitgrowers of the state. 1t is poss.
lie that preliminary report of the work |
will be made before the publication OF
he bulletin. Such a report would
ontain complete information relative
O the various steps in the experiment
howing exactly how the cross pollin-
tion of the different varieties is ef-
ected, what varities should be crossed
nd precautions that should be OBJ
erved.

Effective Tomorrow.

The new civil government comes au-
suance with proclamation issued two
months ago by President Wilson The
Isthmian Canal commission likewise
dies. The Panama canal law, approved
August "a, 1912,-the exemption from
tolls clause of which is now under
] consideration in Congress-makes the
president the real ruler of Panama,
through a governor and such other
persons as he may elect. The presi-
/ dent has told Goethals that he is to
have a free hand in his administration,
which is taken to mean that the civil
governor will have nearly 2500 jobs at
his disposal. There is no civil service
on the canal either.
Make Ready for Use.
In his new job Goethals' foremost
duty is to make the canal ready for
use. He was given the place because
it has been his ambition when the
canal was completed and the engineer
ing and construction forces had done
with their work, that he might actual
ly have some hand in the starting of
commerce through the waterway. or
course the task of rearranging the ad- |
ministration in the zone is an enor-
nous one. but that of drilling the ca
nal employees in their work and OF
making the canal a success will from
the start to finish be greater. On his
recent visit here, the Colonel made it
plain that he intends to go slowly IN |
rearranging the zone government. BY |
law, all executive orders and regula-
tions will be continued in force after |
tomorrow, so that the switch from
commission to a one-man government
will be accomplished with no arpa1 ent
wrench. Speculation was rife here to-
day as to whether Goethals plans to
continue the semi-socialistic, pater-
nalistic scheme of caring for canal
EMPLOYEES under the new government.

SPLENDID GROWTH
IN PHONE SERVICE
NEW DIRECTORY OF MOSCOW TEL
EPHONE AND TELEGRAPH co.
JUST OUT.
Indicates Rapid Growth Of MOscOw's
Population In Five
Years.

Iue puDllSuluS .Ol TIE lelepHOn6 Ill
rectory of the Moscow Telephone and
Telegraph company, the order having
just been turned out by The Star
Mirror, probably indicates mora forci-
bly, than any other one thing that
Moscow is rapidly forging ahead i'll
population. According to actual count
the directory is made up of 1850 sub
scribers, which based on a service for
each family indicates that the popu-'
alton of Moscow must pass the 5000
mark, conceding that there are five
members of each family.
Contains Much Information.
The new directory besides being
specifically designed for the use of
subscribers of the company is like
wise an accurate directory of the
street addresses of residents of Mos
COW and also contains much other
valuable information with rel;.tion 70
business firms of Moscow. T. A.
Meeker, manager of the company, Is
being freely complimented on his
splendid efforts. Five years age when
Mr.. Meeker assumed charge of the
business there were but five employees
of the office while today the office has
payroll of 16 persons, another ev.
dence of the splendid growth of the
city and the marked appreciation of
the public for the excellent service |
of the company, and 1t is conceded |
that only the efficiency and popular
ity of the service could have produced
such a splendid result. Five years
ago the office started with 32S sub
scribers.
Expended Much Money.
Keeping up with the progress and
growth of the office Mr.. Meeker has
expended thousands of dollars In inn
building new local lines,
oil lines and replacing old and obse-
ete instruments with the newest
models.
During the past year over one mile
If new cable has been strung. From
TWO circuits the company has, be-
cause of it's growth, increased the .
humber to seven toll lines, six to the
vest and one to the east.
Subscribers are Pleased. i
eve are especially gratified over
he treatment we have received from
,ur subscribers and weSare only too
dad to inaugurate better service
wherever we can," said Mr.. Meeker
oday. I'VE feel that we are servants
O the public and we want to give the
cry best of satisfaction. 1t is our
urpose to treat the people court
ously and with promptness and 1t is
ne of the cardinal principles of our r
ffice to retain only such employees as p
lanifest themselves in sympathy with Il
