LA GRANDE EVENING AVEDNESDAY, AUGUST CO, 1911. SPOKAM SHOW ADOPTS A SEW ElXrXO THIS YEAR. pirfftors Take Such Action After General Dissatisfaction Spokane, Wash., Aug. 30. '(Special) Trustees of the National Apple show inc., at their first meeting: this yegr abolished quality ratings on all com petitive displays entered at the fourth annual xposftlon In. Spokane, No vember 23 to 30, thus placing all stan dard commercial varieties and the district In which they are produced on an: equal footing. The sweepstakes event will be on pack, a substantial premium being offered In this contest which Is free and open to all, In addi ng n tOftflOO In Bh nrl - And premiums. .'. . ' . '.' ,..-o-, - Jean Promologlcal society's scoring list, applied only to carload -entries at the first throe, shows, but the fact that this list did not give western apples the consideration to which they are en ltled caused some dissatisfaction in several districts. , The ratings used last year were those recommended by a convention of exhibitors at the sec ond show. The trustees had nothing to do with fixing the values -and the ratings were used as a guide to the judges. .' V; - " "We think the greatest problem has been solved by abolishing the quality ratings at the 1911 show," said E. F, Cartler Van DIssel, who has been Identified with the show since It3 Inception; "and we believe the. grow ers in all parts of the country will ba glad to learn of the action of the man agement of the show. We always felt that some western apples had been handicapped In the past, but we were not In -a position to make any changes . until this year. ; Now that this ques tion has been settled, I look for en tries from all parts of the United States and Canada, particularly the western countrr." ' Edwin T. Coman, president of th9 .

Fully eight per ceqt ; of the total wealth of this country is Invested in the electrical industry and its kindred enterprises. It requires half a mil- lion electrical horse power to turn the wheels of ou great textile industries, aside fom the steam and water power used. Today electricity spins the threads and the same power tt saves them into the various fabrics for our uuj-., mere- are many reasons rwny electricity is the ideal power for t3x tlle mills. Foremost Is the eas: v.ith which It can be transmitted from the powers plant to the various spinning and weaving departments. Electricity can be easily carried, to any out-of-the corner without a particle of loss. To transmit- steam or water . power by long shaftings and belts always re sults In fully 20 per cent loss of ener gy. Electricity ' gives better individ ual control and allows the various machines to run or remain idle with out affecting the others. It permits of Individual drive, a motor for every machine, which time has proven is the only Ideal way of driving machinery. Last, but not least," electricity makes it possible to harness the distant wa1 ter power and bring this cheap energy to the textile mills. ' . t The first textile mill to be driven throughout by motors was Installed in Columbia, S. C, and started in April, 1894. It is interesting to re mark in passing that not one:half for of the motors, which have been in use for 17 years, have been repair ed, and on the other half the average repairs will not exceed $50 per motor for the entire 17 years. The textile industry employs over 500,000 horse po wer in motors of which the General Electric Companny has furnished some 380,000 horse pow er. Inasmuch as the uower used in all textile mills of all sorts and kinds Is 2.000,000 horse power, fully 25 per cent of the power used in tex- tile mills Is by motors. Thus, Low ell has over 30,000 in motors; Law rence over 50,000 horse power In mo tors ; the Pacific Mills in Lawrence PAPER SALE J Phone Red 971 next door to .. Observer : office. ; , , of a glass bf cold of Und tf weather." If Chester are employing over 23,000 In horse power motors.: The American Woolen Company used motors aggre gating 28,000 horse power, of which 24,600 , horso power Is in Lawrence. The utilization of thla form of energy Is not confined to New England alon as North Carolina has 68.000 " horse power,, and Booth Carolina 62,000 horse power in motors alone. The first Installations were made because of convenience in location. That Is to say the mill and power house would each be located at such a point as best to serve the purpose of power generation and the cloth man ufacturer respectively. Water power hitherto inaccessible were utilized. The advantage of subdivision permit ting the measurement of power re quired on the different machines, and the detection of excessive power need ed on any machine appealed to the early users of this system. But .if is in other ' directions . that we mnst look for the reason of the very large increase during recent years. STUDY HUG ASSOCIATION FOB ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE MEETS Gathering Brings Together Many Leading Scientists of the Day.' London, Aug. 30. The British Asso ciation for the Advancement of Sci ence, which has had, a successful ca reer of 80 years, during which time It has accomplished notable results In further scientific Inquiry and' In pro moting the intercouse of thOBe who cultivate science in different parts of the British empire, opened its annual meeting today at Portsmouth. ' Several hundred scientists of inter national reputation filled the Ports mouth town hall for the opening ses sion. Sir William Ramsay, the world famous chemist .inaugurated himself into the presidency, vice the Rev. Prof. T, O. Bonney, who - resigned, after which he delivered the presidential address .;. ;. In his address Sir William Ramsay sounded as his leading note the In creasing need of scientific training with a view to future as well as to present day requirements. Be pass ed under review modern conceptions of the nature and constitution of the elements, especially radium and its products' and proceeded to consider the available sources of energy in Great Britain and whether a reason ably economic use is being made of them. Having come to the conclusion that the present day" methods , are wlsteful, seriously" limiting the per iod of British national existence, he advocated an immediate stocktaking of the nation's possessions of poten tial energy as the first step towards their judicious conservation. ; The sessions at Portsmouth will continue an entire week. It is conr sldered Improbable that the meeting will bring forth any such surprises as the announcement of the discovery of argon at the Oxford meeting in 1895, but there is abundant material in the papers announced to insure an inter esting meeting.

(Special) One of the new men in congress who has attracted favorable attention be cause of his industry and sound Ideas Is Judge Baker or the First California district. He is' the only democrat from the Golden state and he is a progres sive or insurgent, if you please. But more Important than either to his con stituents, is the fact that Judger Ra ker Is a hard worker. He-came on efore congress convened and got busy right away with matters of Interest to his district and he has been busy ever since. Not obtrusive, he is never theless unremittingly industrious. He has some bobbies and one of these is the regulation of Immigration. Judge Raker introduced a bill on this subject early in the session and after considerable study and with the ad vice of immigration officials, he of- '-!.- '-'' '.'i am ... M - . A MHVt, lated to keep out all alien laborers and other undesirable classes, parti cularly ' from the orient. Another thing Judge Raker wants to regulate is the administration of the publla lands of the United States. At pres ent It seems impossible to get a right of. way over forest reservations even for municipal water systems. Going Far for Auples. Easterners are alway surprised to see the choicest places on the fruit stands occupied by Washington and Oregon apples. No matter that they have seen this year after year, they seem unable to get used to the idea that. their own Immediate localities, or at least do not, supply the local demand, and of course they are al ways sure that better apples can be grown right at borne than are pro duced in the far-away Pacific coast territory. However, they keep right on paying from 5 to 10 cents each for the western apples, but the shortage of the "supply, is encouraging more extensive planting in the rest tot the country and the apples from Oregon and Washington may eventually have to look for a market in Liverpool and Hamburg, although they still hold their own.-..: '' ' ' Crops Below Average. While the remainder of the country is suffering very generally from poor crops, the far west se-ema to be more than holding its own. Maine is a not able exception, its crops being practically-normal, but some other, states are making a very poor showing be cause of drought. The irrigated states are fortunate in such seasons. Wash ington Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Wyo ming, Utah, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona are prospering and crops are good. Climatic condi tions doubtless account. in large part for this. . : ;'' ::' ',"V;' The Expositions. . v San Francisco has followed close after San Diego in the selection of an exposition site, and It Is unique and far-flung in its magnificence. At San Diego matters are still a little In ad vance, however. Not only has ground been 'broken for the southern exposi tion with great pomp and clrcum stane, but-the officials have selected their plana for the group of buildings which will be In the striking Mission Renaissance style, remlnlscenlt of tb Moors and the- Alhambra; .of the domed structures of Tunis and Al giers; of the mlnarettes of Constanti nople, and of the more modern but equally , interesting missions which are strung along the California coast from San Diego to San Rafael. Few persons know that the great, cathed rals of South America, Mexico and Central America, and the grandly sim ple missions ,of California are among the most impressive ecclesiastical structures in the world. The best In all of them will be embodied In the exposition buildings in San Diego, and they will be of brick, stone, cement, steel and glass built to stand forever In beautiful Balboa park' for the de light and use of posterity. The best talent to be had In America was chos en by , Director-General D. C. Collier, with the approval of the directors of the exposition, to design and carry Into execution the plana for the ex position, and it is expected that every detail of the great undertaking will be finished before the gates of the ex position grounds open at midnight on the last day of the year 1914, to re main open until midnight on the last day of the year 1915. V , A year-round exposition Ig some thing new, but the climate, one of the best assets of San Dtego, will be on exhibition every minute of that time, and will be not the least Interesting thing visitors will learn about. It will be an All-America exposition for th-a Latin-American republics iu that regions orators refer to as "to the south of us" will be represented with the best they produce and the most Interesting tlwy possess. . Torrid Washington. No matter where he may have come from, the congressman In Wash ington during the past summer has fretted at the heat and has yearned to be "home." It may not have been much more comfortable at home, but distance, as always, has lent enchant ment, and the general vote has been that the climate of Washington is about the worst in the world and that almost any other place would be preferable for an all-summer retreat. As a matter of fact the records of the weather bureau have pretty well sup ported this statement. Mltwl ikruiwwioinniv-c vs V9U'r Bethlehem, N. H., Aug. 30. Sneez ers, for whom sneezing Is a common interest, rounded up in this famous White Mountains resort today for the annual meeting of the United States Hay Fever association, which derives Its name from the fact that all of its members sneeze in June, July and Au gust and as much longer as they are afflicted with hay fever outside of the regular hay' fever season. ' , Hay fever la not a pleasant disease, and lt makes its victims, suffer and destroys their good temper. But It is by far the best organized disease in America. So far as is known tho jaundice sufferers have never held a convention, and no one has ever called a convention of those afflicted with In growing foe-nails. But for many years the hay fever victims have gath ered here I each summer to discuss their common troubles. Every mem ber of the association pays annual dues of 50 cents, and this payment en titles him to receive all of the many pamphlets and other forms of litera ture that are Issued each year on the disease and methods for procuring re lief, ',- t Rev. Clayton E. Delamate, of West Bridgewater, Mass., occupied the chair at the opening of the convention today. More than a score of states were represented in the attendance. The initial session was given over to a symposium discussion in which vet eran , sneezers and physicians told their associate sufferers of all the new discoveries in the line of remedies and preventives. , Tomorrow the mem bers of less experience will be given an opportunity to tell what they have learned about the ailment.
