Spokane Wash., Oct. 21, (Special) King Apple's domalnlon is fully estab lished when he can upset railroad schedules and order record runs over trans-continental lines to suit his im perial convenience. That is what the Northwestern potentate has accom plished with regard to the transpor tation facilities placed at his dis posal by the Hill lines, over which the prize-winning displays from the third National Apple show in Spo kane the week of November 14, will be moved to Chicago for exhibition in the First Regiment Armory, Novem ber 28 to December 4. : A special train, loaded with the Northwest's choicest offerings of the king of fruit, will be started on pas senger train time 48 hours after the Spokane show closes, the night of Novembef 19, for a run of 2,000 miles. The train will carry th wlnnor'nf $1,000 championship sweepstake on carload contests and many other prem ium takers, also displays from 35 commercial orchard districts in Wash ington, Oregon, Idah6 Montana and British Columbia, . , , Minnesota Is tame Fumpkins.

Filing Will Likely Start Flood of Let . ters Bourne Bill sot Through. . When Adna B. Rogers, of this city presented his homestead application at the U. S. Land office this morning for the N 1-2 of Lot 2 of NW 1-4, Sec tion 31, Tp 2 S., R. 38 E., W. M. and the same was allowed, a tract of land within , one mile of the land office was filed upon. Within the last few years, a number of persons have had entries on his tract of 35 acres, but Mr. Rogers recently successfully con tested the entry of Thaddeus Stephens Tlllson. It is understood that Mr. Rogers will establish his residence on the tract In the spring. . . . At the local land office this morning Receiver Eberhard was reluctant to admit that such,, a filing . had been made. "Every time Borne unusual case such as is this one, comes up and the newspapers publish the facts, a small avalanche of letters pours Into this office for , about three weeks. Now, I suppose, we shall have many inquiries about vacant . lands adjoining La Grande, Judging by many instances of the past,' and especially one. Some time ago, the Secretary of the Interior promulgated regulations for tfie law In the State of Idaho allowing absence from homestead entries, and a Boise newspaper published the same In full, with large headlines and a lengthy "story" preceding, In neither of which was it stated that the regulations ap plied only to Idaho. Nearly every pap er in Eastern Oregon republished the article, without giving credit to the Boise paper In many instances, and so we had hundreds of Inquiries about the new homestead law. To each of these we had to explain that Senator Bourne's bill applying the Idaho pro visions to Oregon had only passed the Senate and was pending In the House, air of which took time. Therefore, while it Is true that Mr. -Rogers has filed upon a homestead within a mile of this land office, yet we should have been exceedingly glad had enterpris ing newspaper reporters overlooked the fact. Please tell everyone there is no more vacant land that we know of close to La Grande." In this morning's mail there were seven inquiries about the forest elim inations which shows that interest in that matter has not wholly died out.
