CUTLER MACHINE IS
GOING TO SPOKANE

From list of about score of simi.
lar contrivances. the apple sizing AMI
grading machine invented by Asa B.
and Frank W. Cutler has been chosen
by the National Apple show officials
to be installed in the model packing
plant at Spokane the latter part of this
month. The packing and sizing OF
fruit under the most modern and eco.
nomic methods will be demonstrated at
the model plant to be''operated through.
out the week Of the Apple Show.
Ira Cleveland. of Wenatchee, where
he has been in charge of community
packing houses, will supervise the Spo.
kane model plant, the exhibits of
which, in actual use. will show all the
latest methods for handling apples ali
the way from the orchard to the con-
sumer.
Cutler Bros. invented their grading
machine several years ago.primarily to
handle their own crop. The work of
the invention attracted other growers,
and''as a.result the men have made i'm
provements on their machine each
year. Their latest model sizes the ap-
Piles by means of counterweights, ,ap-
Piles themselves being placed in the
cups to determine the size wanted. Not
only from local ..orchardists. but from
all other Northwestern districts, calls
have come the past season for the new
grader.
'We have had. to turn down 20 or.
ders, says Frank W. Cutler, because
we did not have the facilities for build
ing the machines.
Cutler Bros. plan another year to
manufacture their grading machines
here on larger scale.

Keeping Ahead

1t was an American business firm
which some 43 years ago showed the
world how to perfect the medicinal
properties of cod liver oil and make it
pleasant to take which Immediately
popularized cod liver oil throughout the
whole world.
Not content with this great success,
however, Scott & Bovine have contin-
ued to evolve methods and machinery
to keep Scott's Emulsion finer, purer
and richer than the limitations which
patterned after their plans. and today
every precaution that human ingenuity
can devise is employed to keep Scott g
Emulsion the finest and purest medic
inal food in the world.
The refining of raw cod liver oil as
practiced with the crude equipment
available along the Norwegian coast
has never squared with the ideals of
Scott 4 Bovine and they have just
completed a spacious refining plant ad-
joining their laboratories in Bloom
field, N. j., which is refrigerated to
the climate of Norway and equipped
with unusual sanitary devices which
will forever insure supreme quality
of cod liver oil in every bottle OF
Scott's Emulsion and place it above
and beyond all commercial substitutes
which may contain the usual suspicious
or adulterated oils.

RAILROAD WILL BE
HELD FOR APPLE Loss

The Wenatchee valley is facing the
most acute crises In its apple market
ing, and unless something is done i'm.
mediately to gain relief, the district
stands to lose close to 81 500. 600. The
shippers have been in session, and it
has been decided that the Great North
ern will be held liable for its failure to
furnish sufficient rolling stock to move
the crop. The shippers are filing writ
ten orders for refrigerator cars with
the local agent, giving destination and
also making tender of fruit with bill of
iading, at the same time guaranteeing
the freight charges.
kilograms were sent to the Inter.
state Commerce Commission and also
to the State PublicService Commission
The following message was also sent
to President Louis Hill and Vice Presi-
dent Eenney:
Account your personal interest in
fruit industry we submit the following
facts: Two thousand cars of apples
are stacked in orchards in north central
W ashington district. Fall rains have
set IN ard severe frosts are threaten
ing; 1900 cars are held in the ordinary
packing houses. offering slight protec-
tion; 1000 cars in the warehouses of
early and mid-season varieties requir-
ing immediate marketing; entire 4500
cars actullay sold at good profit to the
growers. Biggest consuming demand
now exists. Your failure to give US
cars threatens cancellations, immedi-
ately changing prosperity prospects to
almost inevitable ruin. Your officers
gave full assurance early in the season
of plenty of rolling stock, and had not
advised to contrary that you could not
handle the complete crop. With this
assurance all shippers contracted to
make usual fall deliveries, consignees
threatening suits for non-delivery."

PRISONERS INTEREST
ED IN KNIGHT MOTOR

Inmates of the state penitentiary al
Bismark, N. D.. are intensely interest.
ed in the Knight motor as used in viii.
ys-Knight cars. Literature on the
motor has been placed in the prison Ii.
brary and the inmates are now on the
official mailing list of the Willys-O Over
land Co., of Toledo, o., which manu-
factures the famous Willys Knight
cars. How this situation came about ia
as interesting as it is unusual.
Recently a representative of the
WHY'S Overland Co. was scheduled to
address the dealers and prospective
buyers in the Bismark territory on the
Knight motor-explsin to them its eff
cheney. economy and wonderful durabil-
ity. Now it happens that Warden Tai
colt, head of the state penitentiary,
which also is located at Bisamrk, has
in his charge several inmates who are
of a mechanical turn of mind. When
he heard of the forthcoming knight
motor lecture, he Immediately con-
ceived the idea of giving his inmates a
new form of entertainment. or, as be
expressed it, mechanical treat"
After securing the consent of the
Overland representative to lecture to
the inmates, the warden took the affair
up with Governor Hanna and permis-
sion for giving the address in the state
institution was Immediately forthcom-
ing. So far as is known, it was the
first time that an official representative
of an automobile manufacturing con-
cern had been invited to lecture on the
merits of his product in public insti-
tuition of that nature.
Arrangements were then hurriedly
made for the lecture in the prison audi
torium, and when the Overland lecturer
appeared on the platform that evening
practically every inmate in the institu.
tion sat before him.

Car Shortage Relief Sought

The Northeastern Fruit Exchange, of
Seattle, has just issued bulletin to
their branch managers located through.
out the United States and Canada,
asking them to use their influence to
help relieve the car shortage. The
circular reads as follows:
"On account of the unprecedented
demand for equipment we again re-
quest you to urge your customers to
promptly unload all cars as soon as
placed for that purpose. You cannot
too strongly emphasize the need for
cars being promptly made empty after
arrival so they may be sent west for
other loads.
The Exchange is firms believer in
cooperating with the railroads. consid-
ering them silent partners in the bust.
ness of distributing the fruit crop. '1f
we do not do our part to help them. we
wouldn't be worthy of their continued
efforts to improve their service and
provide equipment with so little delay
as is generally the case" is the way
Traffic Manager Robinson, of the Ex-
change, expresses it.

noon grounded on newly made sand
barmid-stream just west Of the Under

loaded with apples and other freight. a
portion of which was lightered on a
scow at the Underwood landing. The
boat still stuck and the big sidewheel
ferryboat of the Hood River-White
Salmon ferry system was called to
take off freight. The boat was freed
from the spit before very late Sunday
night. The 40 passengers aboard the
Tahoma were taken in small boats to

And Chafe His Hands

A rather curious illustration Of some
Of the trials and tribulations with
which the railroads are forced to con-
tend is afforded by a humble dis
patch in the daily press the other day,
says the Topeka Journal.
The supreme court of the United
States decided that a Texas railroad
must pay $4,000 to the heirs Of a
man who died as the result of cold
contracted during a storm. 1t appears
that he was a passenger on the road
in question and his train became en-
tangled in a cloudburst. While chang
ing cars at Texas station he caught
cold, and later died.
The supreme court upheld the judg
ment rendered in the lower court to
the effect that the train crew was
guilty Of negligence in failing to mott
fly the passengers to get into another
car. For this fatal neglect the stock
holders of the road must pay TO the
heirs $4,000, with added costs and
presumably interest. To be sure,
three justices of the supreme court re-
fused to take this view of the law,
and therefore the court was not I'M
animous on the proposition that where
a passenger gets caught in a storm
and doesn't know enough to get into
another car, it is the duty of the train
crew to tell him to get in out Of the
wet and cold.
The fact that such a Judgment was
rendered in Texas is not surprising,
but that it should be affirmed by the
supreme court of the United States
passes our understanding. 1t is not
stated in the records whether or not
the road was accused Of aiding and
abetting Providence in bringing on
the cloudburst, but perhaps this point
did not occur to the plaintiff. The
law as it stands now is that trainmen
must insist on all passengers seeking
shelter during a cloudburst, and, If
they persist in remaining outdoors,
force must be used to prevent their
getting wet.
The Lamar register., 1916-01-19

payments were made at once.
As result of these improved bus
mess methods, the State Treasurer,
last week, distributed $225, 1896 to
the different counties for school pur-
poses. Last year at this time there
was only $l67, 1869 to distribute.
This shows u gain of over 30 per cent
in Mr.. Vivian's favor and is participat-
ed in by every school district in the
state. 1t is probable that another dis
tribution of a sum equally as large
will be made next July.
In addition to the above fine show
ing there was added to the permanent
school fund S269, SOO.33, in 1915, as
against $l96, O75.93 in 1914.
The state still owns about 100000
acres. Much of this is coal land, and
some of it oil land, and little of it is
gold and silver districts. This proper
ty will, in time, produce an immense
revenue if its control can be kept out
Of inefficient and dishonest hands.
Former Congressman Cousins of
Iowa, has been secured to deliver the
Grafton at the Lincoln day banquet in
Denver.
Mr.. Cousins, in addition to being a
very eloquent speaker, has been a close
student of Mr.. Lincoln's speeches and
state papers and is one of the best
qualified men in the country to inter
pref our martyr president to the men
of this generation. The committee be-
Iieve itself very fortunate in being
able to secure him.
The western slope people are pre-
pairing TO observe the day with a BAN
quet at MOntrose, and it is hoped that
other sections Of the state will follow
their example.
There will be no lack of material
from which to select delegates to the
national convention.

ton Of an organization to work in his
behalf.

No department of state is showing
more activity in these last few months
than the land office With the APP
pointment of Mr. Vivian as Register,
a new regime was inaugurated and a
new spirit infused into that very i'm
portant branch of the states business
From January to May 33,137 acres of
land were sold for an average price
of S7.19 an acre, while from June to
December, under Mr.. Vivian's man
agement 1860 acres were sold at the
average price Of S1O.5s. This shows
an increase of over forty per cent.
For the year 1914, the average price
received was S7.35.
In addition to this fine showing, IL
very large sum has been collected in
rentals and royalties from parties who
were in arrears in their payments.
Bills for over $4,000, covering such
were sent out only recent
ly with notice that contracts would
be cancelled unless those delinquent

could write report that would be in
such great demand he would be in bet
ter standing before the country than
he is today. Senator Lodge has had
the General Boards report printed as
Senate Document 231.
President Wilson has announced his
support of a policy of guaranteeing
each of the American Republics ter
ritorial integrity and protection
against sales of munitions to revolu-
tionists. Judging by his past record,
we may expect a directly opposite an
nouncement a few months hence.
Now that the annual estimates
for appropriations have been submit
ted to Congress and the totals pub
lished by the newspapers, the depart
ments are quietly slipping in supple
mentary estimates for new or increas-
ed or emergency appropriations. But
some one will take the trouble some
day to make new total and ascertain
exactly how much this economy" adj
ministration has really asked for.
A glance at the summary of the
United States census force, given in
the annual report Of the Director of
the Census, Hon. Sam. L. Rogers, of
North Carolina, shows the work of
taking the industrial and other sta
tistics of the United States during
the fiscal year was under the super
vision Of 740 employes-special of
ficials, agents, clerks, etc, while TO
collect statistics of cotton 749 special
agents were carried on the payroll
nine more than the number handling
all the other work Evidently a large
share of the fruit Of the Census plum
tree hangs over the domain of King
Cotton. Furthermore, of the 74O
comprising the regular force, an un-
duly large per cent are from the
southern states, and the director him
self is a tarheel. So far as the Cen
sus Office is concerned, the South is
in the saddle, booted and spurred-
but riding for fall at the 1916 hur-
die.
