about a ton OF such vegetables pro-
dueed on a piece Of ground less than

Mr. and Nrs. Smith moved from
Kansas to Oak Greek park cisht

FIRST MEETING OF
UNIVERSITY CLUB

The second season OF the Univer-
sity Club as.opened at the Y. NJ. c.
\. building Monday night under most
auspicious circumstances and with a
large attendance of the old members
present. After splendid dinner serv-
ed by the ladies' OF the Y. NJ. C. A,
entertainment committee the men ai-
journed to the committee rooms on
the second floor and listened to a
most interesting and instructive lee
ture by Mr. T. McLaren Of Colorado
Springs on THE History of Architec-
ture"
Mr.. McLaren, a native of Scotland.
is a graduate of the Royal Academy
of Arts in London. He practiced
his profession for eleven years in
London before coming to America.
For over 4 year he travelled in
Greece, Italy. France and other coun-
tries studying the architecture of
those lands.
The speaker prefaced his lecture
with the remark that the art of archi-
lecture is practically dead at the
present time although the art OF
building is very much alive. This, he
said, was due to the development Of
the practical, commercial spirit OF the
present age. which has stifled. to a
great extent, the sense of beauty.
With the aid OF stereoptican slides
he illustrates his lecture by examples
of the various styles of architecture
from the elrliest Egyptian and Chal-
dean down through the Greek, Ro-
man. Mohammedan. Hindoo. Chinese.
Persian, Jewish to the more modern
styles. The great structures OF the
world were shown and explained. in
cluding the Parthenon at Athens. the
Coliseum at Rome. St Sophia's At
Constantinopie. the Alhambra at
Granada. Notre Dame in Paris. the
Cathedral at Amiens. Cologne cathed-
raj. St Paurs. London. as well as
many others.
Officers Of the University club
were elected as follows: Guy U.
Hardy. president. John W. Emmerson,
vice president. and DR.. Fred W. Reit-
er. secretary-treasurer. At the No
vember meeting Enos A. Mills. the

THE APPLE SITUATION
IN THE NORTHWEST

This story Is taken from teh Hood
River. loreson) Glacier and gives an
optimistic view of the apple situation
in the northwest:
Al a meeting at Seattle last Satur-
day night. apple market men from
all organizations and districts OF the
northwest were present for the pur-
pose OF discussing ways and means
OF preventing unnecessary price cut
ting. II. r Davidson. rs president
OF the North Pacific Distributors and
trustee OF The Apple Growers Asso-
citation. and p w Buff. member OF
the board of directors Of the Fruit
Growers Exchange. were present.
SIR. Davidson. who last week at
tended meeting at wenatchee.
where the Seattle meeting was PLAN
ned. while viewing the apple market
as serious. thought such conferences
would have n beneficial result.
In order to arrive at a fair basis
OF valuation OF the apples to be
handled by the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors for the year. said Mr.
Davidson. "threo other officers Of the
Distributors and myself attended the
International Apple shippers Asso-
citation convention at Boston the first
week in August These conventions
are annually attended by from ave
hundred TO & thousand apple buyers.

to number OF the principal buyers

an approximate OF our schedule OF our
opening prices for the year Their
replies showed that their ideas In
all cases we're in conformity with our
own and in line with conditions. We
sent out orr opening price to ;he
trade about September /.
THE following are few OF the
prices on principal varieties extra

Up to September 20 we had recciv-
cd orders for 6s3 carloads. which
was conclusive to us that our prices

cause all OF them were for small or

pin and are now safely behind grim
walls of the prison. They made a
thrilling run for liberty, but the tele-
phone and the telegraph were too
much for them and led to their undo
ing.
Vests lack OF confidence is said to
have been responsible for their cap
ture and a -eward of four hundred
dollars will be paid to a deputy sher-
iff at Syracuse, who picked the refu-
gees up merely because of their sus-
picious behavior. According TO the
story given out here the fleeing con-
victs drove their machine desperate
ly all night Saturday night They
passed through Pueblo a little after
dark and continued down the Santa
Fe trail at speed rarely before at
tanned by a car on that famous high
way with the idea that they would be
able to get through tthe towns OF the
valley before the authorities there
were notified by the warden to be on
the lookout for them.
They reached Syracuse about day
light Sunday morning looking tired
and covered with dust and dirt as a
result of their fast drive. They went
into tobacconists store there as
soon as it was opened to buy some
cigars and fell into conversation with
deputy sheriff West told him they
were from .he east and that they
we're headed for Denver. He had
seen them come in from the other
direction. however. and became sus-
piclous. The mohe he talked 10 them
the more excited they became and
finally he locked them up and held
them. Two hours later wire was
received falling him to be on the
lookout for the two conyicts and of
fering a reward OF 500 for their cap
ture. He replied telling the peniten
tlary officials TO come and get them
and bring the reward money along.
It is said that West and Miller ne
elected no details for their flight
They stripped Warden Tynan's other
car OF its dry batteries and other
equipment which served the double
purpose OF furnishing them with extra
supplies and putting the other state
machine temporarily out of commits
sion. They carried 20 extra gallons OF
gasoline in the tonneau and FIVE gal
Ions Of lubri-ating oil. Without mis-
fortune they had supplies to last them
for % hours OF continuous travelling
which would have placed them well
on their way TO Kansas City. which
undoubtedly was their objective point

tween producers and consumers. the
Denver post-ofhce, which is one OF
the offices designated TO conduc.
such a campaign, is asking the CO.
operation of other post-ofhces within
the first and second zone limits to
that end.
A letter from the postmaster at
Denver to Postmaster Cooper re-
quests the latter to furnish a list OF
names and business in which they
are engaged, of any producers within
the delivery of the Canon City post
office, who desire to have their names
placed on list to be furnished to
consumers ut Denver. 1t is the in
tention of the Department through
its parcel post system to bring in
TO closer business relations the pro-
ducers of ALL kinds of food products.
such as vegetables. fruits. meats.
poultry. eggs, dairy products, etc,
and the consumers thereof.
The means provided for transport
ting such produce and the compara-
lively low rate of carriage. make .t
possible for the producer 10 get his
commodities safely and promptly di-
rect TO the consumer without the nee
essity of having them pass through
the hands IF distributors or middle
men This will be to the the advan-
tage OF both parties concerned and

tent the high cost OF living.
1t is the desire of the Denver office
TO secure list OF all producers with
in a reason Ible distance of that city.
and. at the same time. a list of con-
sumers will be prepared for distri-
button amplg the producers.
No attempt will be made by the
post office Department to effect sales
or take orders, nor viii the financial
responsibility of buyers be vouched
for. However. the names of consum-
ers who do not meet their obligations
promptly will be stricken from the
lists.
uyenient and accurate method
of ascertaining the postage charge
on a parcel mailed to Denver from
Canon City. or wise versa. is to add
four to the weight OF the package
in pounds The result will be the re
quired postage in cents. For exam
pie: The weight OF the package is p

paid may have the price OF the article

dity which they have for sale: In

THE COLLAPSE OF PROGRESS
IVISM,

Progressivism in California, more
strictly speaking, Johnsonism, has
collapsed.
The registration returns show that
the Republican party is leading by al
most two to one and has almost as
MANY voters registered as the Pro-
gressives and Democrats combined.
Grove l" Johnson, father OF the gov
ernor, exposes with satire and with
facts the extravagant, ineffective and
hynocritical administration of his son
and his sons party.
1t is shown that instead of reduc-
ing expenses, Governor Johnson has
increased them for the state to an ex-
tent of about %000,00000 per year
1t is shown that worthless commits
aries for Governor Iohnson'S friends
and followers that the state board OF
control has harpered and harassed
state officials athat the railroad COM
mission is being used as a club to
compelApublic service corporations To
support Governor Tohnson's admins
tration and that the tremendous ND
-isiuo of the Republican party is due
10 the passionate desire Of honest
citizens to rid California of the worst
political machine ever Known in this
or any other state. Thus are the
acts presented nv that able loyal and
fearless Republican. Grove L. Tohn-

,riotism is untaiuted hv family pride

Caldwell
Traders Assn.

CURED to anybody that an American
waterway could be an international
highway open to all the world on
terms to which we ourselves should
also subscribe.
Our dream, of course, is vain if this
repeater is enacted. Instead OF en-
downing ourselves with an advantage,
we have only builded military handi-
cap. When we thought to place our
Atlantic fleet in a position to defend
our western coast, thus mobilizing
our entire naval strength at a given
point with ease and dispatch, we have
only opened to the unfriendly Orient
ready access to our Atlantic coast.
Our eastern seaboard was compar-
atively safe heretofore from an enemy
that must go around South America
before reaching striking distance, but
we have graciously provided a less
ardous water lane to the heart Of our
great American empire.
Time Honored Policy
Volumes could be complied upon
the economic and commercial advant-
age of coastwise tolls exemption
glowing pictures Of benefit to the ulti-
mate consumer, OF transcontinental
railroads forced by water competition
to listen to reason, of cheapened pro-
ducts and commodities, and of revival
OF the long since moribund American
merchant marine. All this, however,
is beside the issue. The question of
whether exemption would be benefit
or a mistake has been submerged in
the greater principles involved. We
no longer wonder whether we wish
to do so; we can but pathetically med
itate whether Great Britain-and our
President-would permit us TO do so
even if we desired.
President Wilson is calmly advo-
eating a surrender upon the one fund
amental principle to which every
American subscribes. There never has
been division along party lines upon
the elementary proposition that
America is for Americans. Nearly
one hundred years have passed since
we first enunciated the formal policy
of resenting any formal onslaught by
foreign power upon the territorial in
tegrity of any lesser country on this
hemisphere.
Every succeeding president, what
ever his political affiliations, has at
hrmed and strengthened this guiding
maxim. Grover Cleveland. Mr. Will
sons immediate Democratic prede-
cessor, sternly warned Great Britain,
in the Venezuelan complication, that
"the United States is practically SOW
ereign upon this continent and its fiat
is law upon subjects to which it con-
fines its interposition."
A Gracious Offerl
Does anybody suppose Grover Gle
veland would have yielded on this tolls
issue especially after the British an
nouncement that "if the trade could
be so regulated as to make it certain
that only bona fde coastwise traffic
which is reserved to United States
vessels, would be. benefited by thi.
exemption it mSy be that no excep,
ton would be taken?" That state.
mept was made by the British govern
ment as late as July, 1912.
What gracious offer il was! Great
Britain treating with us on question
OF our own business!

A Shattered Dream.

Chief among the advantages guar
anteed the American people when we
undertook to succeed where France
had failed was that Of military advan-
tage. The ease with which an Ameri-
can feet could rendezvous in Chagres
lake and meet an enemy on either
coast in a few hours was alluringly
pictured. Colonel Roosevelt, and
other Americans with red blood in
their veins, frequently voiced the hope
that Japan would defer her inevitable
attack upon the United States until
the canal was finished. 1t never oc-
