Having attended the National Apple tliow for Heveral yearn, he Htoutly maintained that Hood Klver had the fruit, and all It huh necennary for It to do wan to ex hibit It rliiht and the result rihowed IiIh Judgment proved to be correct. He nay: "The brightest sign of the time that I nee for the fruit-growers of tjie I'ucilie northwest In the Increas ing friendliness that comes from bet ter acquaintance.

"(ireat an In the gain to exhibitors from the publicity obtained through It, I think a far greater good to the growers will result from the 'get-together' spirit, which Inevitably fol lows thin intimate acquaintance of the show, and the friendly rivalry or emulation an to which can nhow the most marked Improvement in pro duct or packing. ,'The comparison of products and work from all sections maken fur a liberal education and sends every visitor to the nhow back to hln home with higher renpect for all others. "At thin tonvenlent railroad center the growers of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Colum bia come with Immense displays of their apples, put up In the best style. I do not believe that the remarkable advance In excellence, noted these last three years, could have been reached in double the time through any other agency. "The standardizing of pack and packages, which has already been ac complished, Is of Inestimable value to the trade as a whole and Is an Index to what may lie achieved tn the near future when the growers, through their local jrult unions, cor dially unite In nyntematlc methods of marketing. "Tin- apples from all districts of these live states must meet In the same markets. Why should not we growers meet beforehand and har moniously plan the campaign?" NAME OF FAMOUS APPLE CAUSES CONTROVERSY Should the last syllable of this fa mous, favorite apple Ik-spelled with an "e" or h "u"? This disputed spelling came up during the recent apple show at Spokane, and the Portland Oregonlan wan appealed to for a ruling. The most careful pomologlcal publications use "e." Several eastern catalogues always print it with "u." For further light on the subject, the Oregonlan ad dressed the Department of Agricul ture at Washington, asking particu larly whether there was weight of authority for either spelling. This answer came: "It Is rather dlllicult to say wheth er the correct spelling of the apple In question Is Spltzcnhurg or Spltzen berg, as there does not appear to be any well authentic history of the ori gin of this variety. In the older po mologlcal publications the form of spelling appears to le pretty nearly equally divided. In some eases It Is spelled Spltstenburgh. However, the form which appears to have the most general approval Is Sp1t7.cn burg. "In this connection It may not be Inconsistent for tue to call attention to the fact that the name I'.sopun is the credited name for this variety, in accordance with the rules of nomen clature adopted .by tin American Pomologlcal Society, and these are the rules which largely govern the use of varietal names at the present time. "In the Pacllic Northwest the name which Is almost Invariably used IsSplf jtenburg, while in the older fruit growing sections of the country where thin variety Is grown It Is more commonly referred to by the name F.sopus. Not Infrequent lv the two names are used In combination." Di the Interests of uniformity, the Pacllic Nort h west should adopt one or the other spelling. It Is the rule of newspapers to follow the nomen clature that the government em ploys. While the Agricultural De partment Is not positive. It favors "u." So far an the Pacllic North west Is concerned, cities at their a p proat hlng meeting should declare which of the two vowels, whose sounds are Identical, should be used. Wetia tehee liepubllc.

At least he holds It while thin In being written, but lis new records lire being made at short Intervals he may lose hln proud eminence uuy day. He took the rec ord from Legngneux, the Frenchman who reached a height of 10.4'jO feet at Pail, France, Dec. t. so that the French aviator held the championship only seventeen duyn. Ilulpu Johnstone's high flight of 0.711 feet, tuade at Belmont park, New York, Oct. 31, 1910, had been beaten by J. Armstrong Drexel ut Philadelphia Nov. 23, hut Drexel's rec ord, owing to a technicality nnrl a dispute regarding the accuracy of his barugraph, was not allowed. The rec ord a year ago was hardly more than a third of what it In today, Louis Paulhnm having flown to a height of 4,140 feet at Los Angeles, Jan. 12, 1910. This, record stood until July 0, when .Walter Krookins went to a helnht of 6,175 feet at Atlantic City. Iloxsey'n great flight was made at Los Angeles the day after Christmas. It was the more remarkable because he went up when the wind was blow ing thirty miles an hour, so stitT that several other aviators refused to leave the ground. An hour before he reached hU greatest height Iloxey passed from the sight of the watchers below, and when he failed to reappear for sixty minutes his friends began f-iring that he had lost his bearings and been driven away by the gale. When Hoxsey's machine landed he was almost frozen. He could not speak a word and could barely hear the cheers of the crowd that watched his departure and his return. When he 1 V 1 m mm 1910, by American Press Association. ARCH EOXSET. was thawed out so he could speak the aviator gasped: "It was cold up there! My. but it was cold!" He sniil that he would hare gone higher, but that he was afraid he would freeze. To add to his discomforts his goggles became frosted and he could not see what he was doing. In making his descent, he said, he had to rely largely on his instinct, as he was tumble to see objects on the earth. SHE WEARS FOUR INCH GEM. Mrs. Edward B. McLean Creates Sen sation In Washington.

Edmunds, who was Injured in the only practice contest of t lie season, was unable to enter the game, and, due to the crippled condition and lack of practice, the locals were more surprised than were the Hood Klver people at the outcome of t he game.
