SPOKANE, Wash.. Feb. 21.
Plans for milking the third National
Apple Show greater in sire, broader

meeting of the trustees next Wed
ucsday, when the committee, which
has just returned from St. Paul nnd
will make its report ou the auvis

displaying them in Chicago or Now

Tho scheme o"tnkin?r"no rue-

ed beemiHc of the many requests fol-
owing the 1!10S nnd lflOO shows, th.it
peopio of the ent who ennnot visit
Spokane bo given nn opportunity to
see the beautiful products of the
northwest. The suggestion has often
been mado that as an exploitation
project for the Pacific northwest, no
schome yet devised would equal that
of showing several carloads of prire
winning apples at some centra east
ern point. A number of orchard land
companies have signified n willing
ness to assist in bearing the'expense,'
nnd tho trustees of the Nntionnl Ap
ple Show will consider these offers.
Same Rules Hold.
The plan is to hold tho third Na
tional Apple Show in Spoknno next
fall under the samo general rules of
the first two shov-6. At the close of
tho exhibition tho prizewinning ex
hibits would bo repacked, loaded into
n spccinl freight train and rushed

plays will bo placed in some suitablo
downtown building, such ns the Col-
isoum or .First Regiment armory,
whero, with appropriate decorations
and a band 'of national reputation, a
seven-day exhibit will be given. The
promoters believed this will arouse
