score was 2 to U. and it was Chi
cago's fourth victory out of five
games played of a schedule of seven.
"Wild Hill" Donovan, the leading
pitcher of the American League, oc
cupied the box for Detroit. Overall

pitched a splendid game and received
errorless support.
Chicago registered one run in the

SEATTLE. Wash.. Otc. 14. The
Postal Inspector Thos. J. Flavin, of
Spokane, was In Roseburg this
morning looking into the matter of
the establishment of a free mail de
livery system in this city, which has
been under discussion here for sev
eral months past. He found the
conditions -here fully justify such a
system, so far as the business trans
acted by (he Roseburg poBtofiice Is
concerned, and as heretofore stated
at various times in The Review. The
annual business has exceeded1 the
minimum figure of $10,000 required
for a free delivery office, and is now
considerably above that sum.
Uefore departing Mr. Flavin an
nounced that as soon as the neces
sary numbering of the houses and
placing the names of the streets at
the corner of each block is complied
with he will recommend that the
free delivery service be established,
it is probable that he will file a fa
vorable report on the matter at an
early date and he may recommend
therein that the service be establish
ed as soon as the local requirements
are complied with.
In a number of Instances better
sidewalks and crosswalks must b laid
in ordr to ussure regular delivery
service in some localities.
It is now up to the city council
to "get busy" and hnve the street
names properly bulletined at each
street crossing, and order the houses
consecutively numbered in compli
ance with some system adopted for
that purpose.
Let us have free mall delivery in
Roseburg without further delay.

SPOKANE, Wash., Oct 14. If the
pples harvested In the commercial
rchilrds ot the United States this
year wore converted into pies, the
army of bnkers needed to do tills
work would turn out 6,250,000,000
of thein, and these placed side by
side would make a path, of almost
976,000 miles. The total weight of
this mountain of pastry is estimnted
at 9.250.000,000 pounds, Including
125,000,000 pounds of flour, Inrd
nd other ingredients in the popular
Aniericun nfter-dlnner dessert, re-
tilrlng 154,100 cars of standard ca
pacity to trniisport them from the
ovens to the consumers.
Twenty-five million barrels, or
2.500,000 bushels, is the estimated
yield this season, nccordlng to re
ports received by Harry J. Neely,
secretary of (he National Apple Show
at Spokane, from ln.ooo growers
operating in the various belts of the
union.
The returns show that while
droughts, excessive rains or pests
wrought havoc in many districts In
the middle-western, eastern and sev
eral southern states, the entire crop
is fully ns large as In 1907, and It is
better distributed. Prices ulso are
higher than last year. Howevor, the
domestic supply is Bmnller than ut
any time since 1895, for the reason
Hint the demands of the export trade
are heavier and increasing yearly.
Reports from a majority of the
growers indicate that the condition
of 8iunmor nnd fall apples is tno best.
but that in numerous districts the
winter varieties are not up lo the
standnrd. This, It is slnted ,1s true
In Maryland, Missouri, Illinois, In
dlnna and Arkansas, while Massa
chusetts will harvest less than a 50
per cent crop. Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Rhodo island nnd Ver
mont report ns much fruit as in
1907, but the crop In Maine will
ho smaller than it wiib last year.
However, tho quality is fair in most
of the districts.
While the yield In Nlngnra licit Is
reported to be holding up well, the
state of New York as a wliolo will
not produce more tlinn 50 per cent of
its normal crop, tho cause assigned
for this being heavy rains and lack
of spraying at the proper time. The
crop In New Jersey Is fair. Heporta
from Ohio give estimates ranging
from 20 per cent of n full crop to
75 per cent. It being added that In
most parts of the state tho yield is
lietlur thun in 1907, though the cro
of winter apples Is light.
Tho crop In Mlchlgnii Is estimnted
at from less than 20 per cent to
75 per cent, according to locality.
Pennsylvania's yield Is short in aome
districts, following a largo crop In
most varieties In 1907. The growers
expect to harvest a 25 per cent crop
of good quality fruit throughout the
state. Virginia and West Virginia
each report about a half crop. The
quality Is good and prices will be a
shade higher than Inst season.
Kansas has a little better than a
third crop, which Is reported to be
better than In 1907, while Kentucky
reports a light yield, which, It is ad
ded, however. 1b better in moat dis
tricts than Inst season. Tho yield
In Iowa and Nebraska also Is smaller
than In 1907. Iowa reports a 25
per cent crop of varying quality,
while Nebraskn growers say that the
vield will be about 50 per cent in
(ho favored districts, but that the
quality Is below the standard.
Orrhardlsts In tlie i;aroiinns are
harvesting fairly good crops, audi,
Tennessee will have a yield of from
30 to 35 per cent of fall nnd winter
apples of good grade. It is reported
that the yield Is better than In 1907
In most of tho districts. (Trops nre
