Train Carrying Spokane Exhibits to

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, . , ,

HOMESTEAD IS LOCATED WITHIN
A MILE OF THE CITY.
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.
