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

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." '

. Spokane chamber of commerce, which
organization la sponsor for the Na
tional Apple show, has appointed the

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

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.

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. ' ;

i WASHINGTON AXD EXrOSI-
e . : tiox ews.
Washington, Aug. 30. (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.

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.
