Evaus .and the Hood Klver Light & Power Company was brought to a conclu sion Thursday when Mr. Evans and the company came to terms, and the former turned over his stock to the company on a satisfactory basis. The transfer of the stock took ( lace In Portland, where Mr. Evaus, the attorneys for both sides, and A. Welch, representing the light ami power company, conducted the ne gotiations. The transfer winds up the long legal battle U-tween the stockhold ers of the old aud new water com panies, and eliminates the possl billy of any further contention from this source. CHICAGO APPLESHOW A FROST FINANCIALLY The apple show which closed Sat urday night at Chicago, from an ar tistic standpoint, was a success; from point of attendance at .Vic the person It was a frost, says the Pro duce News. The reasons given are that the show followed the big 10 day land show In the Coliseum, where were displayed hundreds of thousands of apples, lesldes a multi tude of other attractions. People had seen all the show apples they needed for a year, at least. Then every railroad and land boomer's office windows In this city Is a free apple show. The Spokane Chamler of Commerce, which flnauced the show. Is probably out of pocket, though the sale of the apples Ought to help some. H. Woods Co. and the (iibson Fruit Co. are handling the majority of them on consign ment. The True Christmas Spirit "Nineteen pounds of candy came to my sister and myself last Christ inas," said a self-supporting woman. "My sister Is a trained nurse. Iam a visiting secretary. We had dis creetly mentioned, whenever . possl ble, to our wealthy patrons that we had just set up housekeeping In a modest little apartment. We did this In the hope that the usual del uge of candy might be turned Into other channels and that a pretty piece of glass orchlna or silver would be substituted. But no, the candy came as usual. As each expensive box arrived we felt the Merry Christ mas spirit sink In our hearts. "Finally, In desperation, we took stock of the various five, two and one pound boxes and estimated their purchasing power. We realized that if w e hail leen very poor we should have received welcome gifts of gro ceries and fruit. If rich we should have received cut glass or silver.! Our surplus candy was due, as we fully realized, to the lack of under standing which the very rich have for what they consider the higher grade of employes. They were all kind-hearted people and our disap pointment, as we surveyed our candy boxes, would have made them truly sorry. But why, we asked ourselves, didn't they try for a min ute to put themselves In our places? This seems to me the true Christmas spirit." New York Sun.
