Do The National apple show to b beld at Spokaue, Washington from Decern ber 7th to 12th, 1908, will be an im portant affair to those engaged in apple culture. 126.000 will be given in prizes. 11500 of which goes to the owner of the bent car of apples. A letter from E L. Stewart of Prosser, Washington, one of the best known applegrowers of the northwest says: "I will certainly enter the contest with a carload of apples. It shuis to me that tills is a grand opportunity fur the different apple districts of toe Northwest to how their faith in the olaitus of growing superior apple. "I think the matter should be brought to tliu attention of the commercial clubs of the different districts, with a view of taking the matter np and get ting the best equipped grower in each dihtrict to enter tiie competition. "It is certainly the bent opportunity the West ban ever bad of sbowiag to the Kant that we are really growing olioiie apples on a commercial scale, and at the sama time, convince trein that we leud the woild in our GRADE and PACK. "I would prefer to be in competi tion with 25 competitors rather tbau with only two or three, aud if it could 1)8 k"wn emly euough how niBny cars wuuld be euteied. it coold be ar- tanged to have an auction sale of the exhibitions of this class, on the last day of the show, aud the buyer would land bis , purchase in the eastern mar ket iu time for the holiday trade. I believe this could be worked up to be the most important feature of the show, and as the apples would all be the "Cream of the Northwest," I thiuk they would sell at prion never before heard of in any country. "The parties making exhibit in this class would be running no risk whatever, for if tbey put up meritor ious fruit In good shape, it is cer tain to sell at a price to more than repay the extra expense of maknig exhibit, without taking into consider ation the prize moner at all. "The oompetition cannot fail to do a vast amount of good to the whole country, for it should bring out the very best material, and tte very best Idi as aud workmanship in grade and pack, aud iu this way, show thonsnnds of visitors tbe very bent methods known.

President Roosevelt, iu his fiual annual message to congress, propahlv will recommend an itu-reuse in the nimerUMl strength of the army to at least 100,000 men. At present the army is ou a footing ct tlo.OOD men, the number provided for iu time of peace. To the general sUn it hs become evident, in the last two years, that (10, 000 men are too few properly to garrison the post at which it is necessary to maintain an armed force. These posts iuolnd i the garrisons in the insular possesions of America. The law provides that the army may be increased to 100.000 men in time of need. This provisiou in the opinion of military experts is likely to prove a serious handicMi to the army If absolute necessity should arise for a larger force. It is expected that the president will tecomuieud in his uiexsigtt an increase of the army by the addition of at least 10 egiments of Infantry, live regiments of cavalry aud scleral companies of coast artillery.

Friday eveulng of last week, the management of the coliseum riuk gave a Hop Harvest dance at their hall on F street, which was very largely at tended . The hall was "verv prettily decorated with hop and presented a inoist inviting appearance. The floor, which Is the beet in town for daociug, was in splendid condition, and the orchestra furnished sxoelleut inaiio. Everyone attending enjoyea the eve ning to the fullest extent, and the management is to be congratulated on their success. ROOSTER CLUB ANNOYED BY RAILROAD COMPANY The members of the Roosters Club, which for some years tast have fat on tbe fences along the railroad parks on Sixth street, and amused themsevles by expectorating on the sidewalks and commenting on the ladies who passed by, are much annoyed be oause the Ruadmaster's department of the Southern Pacific has s en fit to replace tbe wooden fences with iron with sharp points on the upper side. The Roosters are not only annoyed, but practically pot cut of business as far as thesu streets are concerned. It has not beu announced as yet where they will make their next head quarters. The people of Grants Pars generally (outside of the Roosters Club) are greatly pleased with the im provement.

It bus been determined by the Irri gation Committee of the Commercial club that tbey will call a meeting of the farmers whore lauds will be nuder the proposed irrigation canals, to take pi toe at the Commercial Club on Monday next at 2 p. in. The com mittee desire to consult the farmers regarding irrigation and will ask them to elect a committee of six to act with the irrigation committee of the club. The committee feel that it is high time that the farmers come forward aud act for themselves regarding the irrigation of their lands. They Bay that many questiong arise which can only be settled by farmers and there fore it is highly important to have farmers as with the Commercial Club committee. It is to be 1 hoped that the proposed meeting next Monday after noon will be well attended, in fact ever1 farmer iu the county wants ir rigation should make up his mind that it is important for him to be present to expres his wants and wishes on this occasion. There will b) numerous speeches and in fact a general discussion of the sub ject of irrigation, tha ways and means. the opportunities aud what has been as we'l as what should be accom plished. It is Impossible for the news papers to publish everything that takes place regarding tbe securing of irriga tion, therefore those who deslie full information should atteud the meeting ud lamiliarlzt) themselves with the subject as it presents itself to those who have land aud desire water to cover it. There appear to be many erroneous reports regarding the d"tails of irriga tion under the various plaus which have been discussed. Attend the meet ing and get the f icts and then you will have an opportunity to act as well as to protect your own interests. All agree on one point, irrigation is the thiug needed to make agriculture aud fruitgrowing a success iu the Rogue River Valley therefore it is im portant that tin people generally, act together so as to commence the con struction of the ditches and iusure it rigation for ti e seasou of 1000. Since writing the above article ou the North Dakota U. S. Government Reclamation scheme and the Garden City projecct, we have found the cost per acre which those settlers pay lor water rights. The following is'u full 1 st of goverumeut projects now being carried out and tho cost for water rights under each. These figures are reliable and certainly must be Inter esting to our readers at this time. They should be placed before the meet ing of farmers at the Comuierciil Club ou Monday next.

One of the gray driviug horses owued by Carson & Son had to b ghot on Tuesday of this week on account of a broken leg. E. L. Ch uchill had taken a party of eastern persona out to show them the vineyard and when they reached the laue leading to the Carson home the horse was standing near the gate. It did not appear to be afraid of the automobile and wheu the machine was stopped to let the riders out the hcrse came down to it, but suddenly turned and jumpod over the six foot wire fencs. It got caught in the wire in some way and the leg was brokeu at the aukle, making it neces fary to shoot it. DeWitts Witch HazM Salve is es pecially good for piles.
