That Maryland is fast becoming
recognized throughout the country as
an apple producing state is evidenced
by the great number Of inquiries
being received by Prof. T. B. Symons
of the Maryland Agricultural College,
who has charge of the Maryland
week" to be held in the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory in Baltimore Nov. 18th
to 10th, regarding the possibility of
sending classes interested in apple
culture, from other State institutions
and there will be present in Balti-
more durnig the Maryland exhibition
representatives from Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and
Delaware.
The belief held by many for years
that good apples only were grown in
Oregon or Washington State has been
proven a myth and at several apple
shows in recent years, it has been
conclusively proven that apples
grown in Maryland and the Virginias
have a zest and flavor that is not ex-
celled by any apples on earth.
Until recently the western apple
growers have produced fruit which
excelled the eastern product in size
and color, but now with improved
methods and careful attention by the
orchadists nearby, this condition no
longer obtains.
Maryland, with it's unexcelled ship
ping and marketing conditions, it's
even climate and soil which is suscep-
tible to intelligent treatment, bids
fair to rival all other fruit growing
States.
The Missouri is one of the great
rivers of the United States. Its total
length is about 2,4OU miles, and that
part above the crossing Of the
Northern Pacific has a length of
about 1,1600 miles. The total
area drained by this river is 527,-
155 square miles a territory as
great as that embraced in the States
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina,
Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi.

boro, temporary secretary. After the
selection of the permanent president,
an attempt was made to thrust the sec
retaryship upon Mr.. Cook. but Mr..

association declared 1t would permit
him to hire all the work done and just
have supervisory charge of the exhi-
bition. He declared it was impossible

London, July 26.--The American

heading with flax toward Belfast.
Leelanaw was held up temporarily
by the British at Kirkwall on her out

Germans this morning stopped here

Complying with the law, he publish

settlement of the case that is now be-
fore the state supreme court
Under the decision of Judge John
son the city is restrained from collect
ing the tax but may receive payments
when they are voluntarily rendered.
iMr Reynolds has withdrawn the no
tice which he published Alger Mel
ton, one of the attorneys for the plain
tiffs in the paving suit, stated that he
