i
Tomorrow at the Lyric theatre

In a report made today by Patrol--ian
I. II. Dolan to Police Captain
Circle, the patrolman asserts that he
has made investigation of recent'fires
in the residences in the Lente district,
and that in practically every case in
, vestlgated, Dolan declares, he found
; that the premises burned were heavily
Insured.
In some Instances, says the police
man, the Insurance was In excess of
the value of the property. Men whom

XTall for organization of a Central
By-Products association has been is
sued by H. C. Sampson, chairman, and
J. F. Batchelder, secretary of the by
products committee of the National
Apple Show. The organization con
vention will be held In Spokane at the
time of the seventh National Apple
Show In Spokane, November U, at 10
a. m.
A by-products conference was re
cently held in Portland at the instance
of the committee. The lack of organi
zation to utilize and market the by
products of fruits and vegetables was
shown. The announcement reads:
"The by-products committee, after a
10 months' study and survey of the
situation, agrees unanimously that a
Central By-Produets association is es
sential to the preservation of the fruit
industry. Six hundred thousand acres
are already planted to fruit in these
four states.
"With a due allowance for the large
percentage of these orchards which,
for one reason or another, will never
come into commercial bearing, and
with due allowance for the capacity of
the railroads to handle the tonnage,
and for storage capacity both at home
and in eastern states, a careful survey
many thousands of car-
must go to waste unless
through by-products institu
tions.
"The committee is unanimous In its
belief that there will be an outlet for
these by-products and that a, central
board should be formed with power to
employ skilled experts, whose business
it should be to make surveys of any
fruit or vegetable districts and re
port their findings to the people of
that district
"The committee is also unanimous
in its conclusion that a central by
products selling organization ia essen
tial to the preservation of our vege
table and fruit industry."
Growers' associations are entitled to
representation at the convention and
so are commercial organisations that
have given the preliminary plan finan
cial aid.

being carried out in spite of the in
clement weather. Among the exhibits
livestock and livestock products were
shown this year for the first time at
Scholia, and while the entries were
not numerous, they were generally of
good quality. The livestock exhibits
were protected by a large tent pitched
for their special benefit, and no seri
ous inconvenience was experienced
from the storm. A feature of more
than usnal interest was a two days'
milking contest. Six cows of Jersey
and Guernsey breeds were entered in
this contest, which aroused a great
deal of interest, and will no doubt
lead to a great deal of crood. since !
much can be learned from such con-
testa. The Jersey classes were quite
