{. A. {. SHINGLE MILL
CHANGED HAND THIS WEEK
Mr.. L. II. KahIhase, of Seattle, New
Owner--Had Already Acquired In
terest of Appleton & Carter

Mr.. Kahlhase is a member of the
firm of Kahlhase & Israel, attorneys,
with Offices in the Oriental block, Sc
attle, and in taking over the interest
of DR.. Durant and R. o. Newcomb he
becomes practically the sole owner.
Mr.. Kahlhase says he has arranged
for the cedar on government land in
the White river basin and will operate
the mill to its full capacity. The
cedar on the east side OF the noun
tains is superior to the western cedar.
The shingle mills on the east side also
enjoy an advantage in the freight rates
to the eastern market, and there is no
reason why, if properly managed, the
C. A. C. Shingle Mill can not be run
at a profit.

OCT. 10 OFFICIALLY DFS-
IGNATED AS APPLE DAY
This Year the Same Day will be Observed
in Every District Where Ap-
pies are Grown

In the past it was the custom for
every section to designate its own ap-
pie day. This year and from now on
the same day will be observed all over
the country. One Apple Day for the
entire country, with all the apple in
terests working together on that day,
ought to produce results.
If the apple districts of the north
west will act together on some plan to
be worked out the industry on which
they largely depend for prosperity will
be benefited. The apple, of all the
fruits, is the best adapted for general
use. Beside their keeping quality
there are innumerable ways of preserv-
ing them The apple, too, is one of
the cheapest and most wholesome OF all
the fruits.

Rockefeller Among the Coal
Miners

An indication of better understand
ing between capital and labor is fore
seen in the recent visit of John D.
Rockefeller. Jr., to his mining proper
ties in Colorado, where two years ago
one OF the bitterest labor struggles in
history took place, and his going un-
derground to WELD the pick and shovel
to see for himself the conditions under
which the miners work. Turning to
four grimy miners he said: Men, we
are partners in this business Anybody
from inside the camp or from outside
who has been telling you that we are
enemies has been trying to deceive
you. I can't get along without you
and you can't get along without me.
If I had all the money in the world I
could't run these mines without you
workmen, and you with all your Drawn
and muscle couldn't earn a living dig
ging coal out of the ground unless
there was capital to buy these mules
and lay the track and provide a market
for the coal. We are partners, that's
what we are. and I want to do busi-
ness with you on that principle" AS
Mr.. Rockefeller turned to leave one of
the miners remarked: You are not as

GOVERNMENT AID IN
THE APPLE BUSINESS
Will Establish Headquarters at Spokane
for the Dissemination of
information

A bulletin sent out from the agricul-
tural bureau at Washington gives the
following advance information:
Complying with numerous requests
from the growers councils, chambers
of commerce, growers and shippers
organizations in the states Of Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, the
Office of Markets and Rural Organiza-
tion OF the United States Department
Of Agriculture has made plans to es-
tablish temporary headquarters in the
northwest for the study of the distribu-
ton of the 1915 boxed apple crop.
The plan as outlined is based upon
assurance that the Office of Markets
and Rural Organization will receive the
cooperation OF all those interested in
the apple industry, for without this CO.
operation the efforts of the office would
not produce valuable results.
1t is probable that the field head
quarters for this work will be in Spo-
kane because of the accessibility Of
that point to the apple territory in the
northwestern states.
The work which the office will do is
not that Of a telegraphic market news
service, but rather contemplates the
collection by mail and the compilation
of data and issuance Of weekly bulle-
tins concerning the shipments and des-
tination of the northwestern boxed ap-
Piles. In this connection similar work
will be carried on to certain extent
in the apple sections of Utah, Colorado
and California.
