PAGE EIGHT LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 1910. a. IIIIL-IHSHO LEWISTON FIKtt, THROUGH THE LOCAL HOUSE, WILL BUY. With Sale of Thirty Cars, Market Loosens up With Encouragement Hail-marked apples of which there are several carloads in Fruldale and Maypark have found a market on a . cash basis, much to the delight of the orchardlsts of that section of the val ley. Late in the summer a severe hailstorm bruised large quantities of apples In that particular tone and the apples have carried the scars ever since with the result that the growers feared they would have to. stand a heavy loss. Fortunately for this large district, only the very worst marks will not sell. And, what is more lm ' portant, the apples will bring cash in stead of having to be consigned as Is fUn the rase. . lewlston Firm Sees Apples. George Crumm, representing White Brothers & Crum of Lewlston, made a business visit through the apple-growing belts on the Grande Ronde "Val ley last Saturday and was so impress fed with the high grade of stock that he immediately detailed his chief lieu tenant, Ben Kelly to this city with lastruQtlons to buy almost unlimited Jy of the local grown apple. Mr. Crum found the quality or stock so good and the quantity sufficient to warrant purchases on a large scale, and ar rangements were immediately con umaTed with the Ramsey Warehouse Company for the handling of a big per centage of the entire t record out put. Incidentally these buyers will be able to handle the hail-marked ap ples on the cash basis plan, meaning that a very small proportion of the marked fruit will not go on the mar ket. All these Bales will be handled through the Ramsey firm. ! Sales Well Started. With a sale of thirty carloads, the i 1910 sales have commenced in ear nest. The White Brothers ft Crum Arm, through the Ramsey Warehouse has already closed up contracts for the purchase of thirty carloads at prices which at present are not made public. However the quotations are considered very satisfactory. With this large shipment already arrang ed for, the fall markets have loosen ed up and It is predicted that sales will be dally occurrences henceforth.

As an' Indication of what the Imbler country has suddenly come to be. with maturity of the hundreds of acres of orchards set out In the past few years, it might be cited that one dealer alon, C. O. Ramsey, for merly bought about, two or three car loads from that territory but this year expects to buy at least twenty and no doubt more. By next year it Is safe to say that Imbler will be along with the standard belts of the valley. ENTERPISE FI li FILL BUST BELAY BACE IS CHIEF EVENT ON THE BACE FBOGBAH.

A City That Doss Not Live Up t Its ,!, High Sounding Title. . The same manners and customs pre vail in the Bokhara of today that were familiar to our night prowling friend of Bagdad. A blindfolded horse still plods round and round beneath a beam, grinding the corn between an upper and a nether millstone. The cotton ,1s stilj carded by the primitive agency of a double bow, the smaller one affixed to the celling and the larger one at tached to it by a cord and struck by a mallet so as to cause a sharp rebound. The rels-l-sharint. or censor pf the morals, still rides slowly through the town, compelling the children to at tend the schools and, their parents the mosques. Inspecting the weights and measures and keeping a watch over the behavior -of the community as a whole. When a tradesman is found guilty of cheating he is stripped bare in the street, forced to his knees and flpgped with a stirrup leather by one of the censor's attendants. The world moves slowly in Bokhara. The city gates still close with the set ting sun. After dark no one is allow ed abroad, the only sound at night be ing the melancholy beating of the watc hman's drum as he patrols the streets with a lantern In his quest, un like Diogenes, of a dishonest man. .With its filth, fanaticism, vice, cru elty nud corruption, Bokhara the No ble, n Its people Insist on calling it con eg nearer to being a bell on earth Thai' rny place I know, and that is the best '!:t I can say about it.

Along tne coast or me Day of -t and the bay 'of Ookasbo the thlreeu and fourteen year old girls, aftt r they have finished their primary scbMil work, go to sea and learn to dive. They are in the water and learn to wim almost from babyhood, and they spend most of their time in the water except in the coldest season, from the ftiAjit IlSSfiViP t De b" ginL.ng of February. Even during the most Inclement of seasons they sometimes dive for pearls. They wear a special dress, white un derwear and the hair twisted up into a bard knot. The eyes are protected by glasses to prevent the entrance of water. Tubs are suspended from the waist. A boat in command of a man is as signed to eviery five to ten women divers to carry them to and from the fishing grounds. When the divers ar rive on the grounds they leap into the water at once and begin to gather oys ters at the bottom. The oysters are dropped into the tubs suspended from their waists. When these vessels are filled the div ers are raised to the surface and jump into the boats. They dive to a depth of from five to thirty fathoms without any special apparatus and retain their breath while reipalnlug under water from one to three minutes. Their ages Tary from thirteen to forty years, and between twenty-five and thirty-five they are at their prime.-New York Sun. w provide that UZPIEASED TELLi0THERS'IFN0T TELL US THE MASTER SUN. Sirlui, tho Dog Star, May Bo the Con tor of Attraction. Astronomers once believed that the entire starry universe revolved around a center of attraction, and the star named Alcyone. In the group of the Pleiades, was selected by Maedler as marking that great center. It has long been known, however, that Maedler's conclusion, which was based on .the apparent motions of the Btars, was Incorrect, and if any uni versal center exists It has not yet been discovered. In fact, many of the stars seem to be moving in straight lines, aome in one direction and some in an other, and among these is our own sun. But it Is possible that further observations will show that all the stars are really moving In curved lines. In the meantime it has been found that there are certain groups or sets of stars which appear to travel togeth er. To what set, if any, the sun be longs we do not yet know, bat De launey has presented reasons for thinking that those stars whose dis tances havje been measured (that is to say. those which are nearest to us) group themselves around Slrius, the dog star, in a manner similar to that in which the inner planets are group ed around the sun. If this be correct Slrius may possi bly be the master sun of which our orb of day Is a distant satellite. Harper's Weekly. 1 adame 1422 Adams Qairvoyaht, H M is the word that describes what well groomed women are seeking for at all times in all places. That they find what they seek is best evidence by the number of elegantly attired women who are constant visitors to our store. From top to elegance for which they seek GLYCERIN. In Many Wyt It Is a Most Remark able 8ubstanco. One of the great advantages of glyc erin in its chemical employment is the fact that It neither freezes nor evapo rates under any ordinary temperature. No perceptible loss by evaporation has been detected 'at a temperature less than 200 degrees F but if heated in tensely It decomposes with a smell that few persons find themselves able to en dure. It burns with a pale flame, sim ilar to that from alcohol, if heated to about 800 degrees and then Ignited. Its nonevaporative qualities make the compound of much use as a vehicle for holding pigments and colors, as in stamping and typewriter ribbons, car bon papers and the like. If the pure glycerin be exposed for a long time to a freezing temperature it crystallizes with the appearance of BUgar candy; but, these crystals being once melted, it is almost an impossibil ity to get them again into the congeal ed state. . If a little water be added to the glycerin no crystallization will take place, though under a sufficient degree of cold the water will separate and form crystals, amid Which the glycerin will remain in its natural state of fluid ity. If suddenly subjected to intense cold, pure glycerin will form a gummy mass which cannot be entirely harden ed or crystallized. Altogether it Is quite a peculiar substance. t .." ealer, The Most Wonderful Life Reader who has ever visited La Grande, YOUR PAST, PRESENT a td FUTURE LIFE REVEALED "Do You Wish taKnow" "Do you Wish to Know" How to have good luck.

The scorpion carries its formidable armament in the end of its slender, elongated abdomen In the shape of an exceedingly veqpmous hooked sting. When disturbed it ele vates this in the air and goes in search of its disturber. But it is compara tively slow in Its motions, while mice are proverbial for their quickness the world over. The mouse learned many generations ago where the scorpion carries Its weapon, and when he meets It he leaps at the uplifted abdomen, takes off the sting at a single bite and proceeds to make a meal of his help-j less prey. It is supposed to be the only animal that relishes scorpions. A Point of Information.
