THAT OTHER CONTROVERSY
The Cook-Peary controversy
about the discovery of the North
Pole makes of particular interest
that, other controversy as to
who. discovered America. A
book- ; just published gives the
honor to an Irishman. The
Irish are great people ' and have
done some great things, but in
the line of discovery their work
has been limited largely to ex
ploration of new . brands , of
Whiskey. Stilt a woman makes
the big claim for the Irish, --and
Woman is entitled to a' respect
ful hearing. '''"
: According.tp press dispa tches,
Mrs. ri Marion. '.cMurrough
MulhalL .widow of the late, Pro
fessor Michael G. Mulhall, whose
fame as an, Irish statistician was
world-wide, has written, a book
Which has already started ani
mated discussion in literary and
scientific circles on ' both hemis
pheres. The title of the work is "Ex
plorers in the New World Before
and After Columbus." 7 ''
The purpose of Mrs. Mulhall' s
most exhaustive researches is to
prove that Columbus Had prede-;and
cessors in the new world. The
author contends that an Icelander
named Ari Marson, who was the
great grandson of Kiarrial (O'
Carroll), king of Dublin, sailed
to this western continent in the
year 983, fully 500 years before
Columbus made his voyage? and
that his ship was wrecked ; on
that part of the coast which is
now the state of Florida,
In addition to this contention,
Mrs. Mulhall holds that there is
documentary proof that Iceland
Was visited by Christian mission
aries from Ireland as , early as
795, and that it was from Irish
traditions of the discovery of
America (then called ilreland-a
Mikla or Great
Ireland) that
nine tne Kea, ana later his son
Lief were inspired . to explore
the western ; seas, - resulting in

in his "Life of Columbus," and
other historians." -
The one fact that gives cred
ence to the claim is the number
of Irish in this p.mintrv at th
present time-they , must A have

APPLES TOO HIGH.
J. L. Dumas, of Dayton, pres-
ident .of the Washington Fruit'may gill you in its meshes.
Growers' Association, lrives it as .
his opinion that apple prices are ' Each step taken for mother
too high. He says that it is
better , to sell one hundred ap
ples for 5 cents apiece than 10
apples- at 10 .cents each. Mr.
Dumas was in North Yakima to
talk over the apple crop with lo
cal orchardists. ,;
"We growers can take less
for out apples and still sell at a
profit," he said. "The railroads
can take half what they are now
getting and still haul at a profit,
while the commission men can
take a fourth and still make
money. .
"Another mistake we are mak
ing is in bur effort to grow so
many varieties. Each : section
should grow the variety which
it can best produce. We are,
too, at what one may call Wolf
River stage of our development.
Each district wants to be known
as the home of the big red apple.
The big red 'apple is the Wolf
River. It is no good at all. It
isn't good to eat and it wont
keep. What we need to pro
duce is the medium-sized apple
of good flavor and appearance.
In my part of' the country we
are growing the Rome Beauty.
I tell you frankly that there are
certain varieties which we can't
grow at all at Dayton. i.ut we
can grow Newtown Pippins. I
secured 992 on this variety , at
the National apple show. "
Mr. Dumas believes the time
is not far distant when fruit
growers must band themselves
together and hire competent
men to keep them informed of
the extent - and condition of the
apple crop of the country each
year. At present there is noth
ing to go by but the dealer's
,word.. : From: the information he
has been, able to gather, : Mr.
Dumas , believes that . the ; apple
crop of the , country as a whole
willTje less this year than last.
That there is still a demand to
be supplied -he; believes and on
the ...strength of .this, belief, is
adding . another 50 . acres to - his
100-acre apple orchard.
