Ordinal KhiIiiimi.
Exhibition of this fine consignment
of fruit was a matter of heeond
thought on tho part of the grower.-,
after tho entire carload had ht'tfii
packed ready for shipment to Copen
hagen, Deiitaark.
It was an ordinary speeiuton of the
fancy, well-eiiltured apple grown in
th Koguto River valley of Oregon
this season, having been sold through
tho Northwestern Produce company
at $2.10 per box f. o. h. Medford, the
prevailing price for fancy apples m
the Rogue River vulley this year.
$:(()() Cash Prize CJIven.
Nevertheless, this displuy carried
away the cash prize of .fllOO for the
best carload of Yellow New towns
scoring an extremely high percent
ngo for perfection under tho exact
ing and elosely-drawn lines by which
tho judges were compelled to de
cide. This carload was in the com
mon commercial pack, hence did not
cuter the contest for tho sweepstakes
prize judged almost exclusively upon
fancy work.
Houston hrothors brought this ex
hibit from tho crop taken off of six
acres, included in their thirty-five

pears. This six acres has been in
hearing for the last eighteen years.

than any oohcr five-box exhibitors ut

and would havo been perfect had it
not been for tho fact that they were
in tho straight instead of tho broken

HOUSTON WELL
PLEASED WITH
RESULT AT SHOW
'Had Car Been Prepared for Show
Purposes Instead of for Shipment
o Denmark, It Would Have Been
Entered With Best Results.
"We are very well pleased with the
showing our car of Newtowns made
at the Spokane npplo show," states
L. IT. Houston, one of tho brothers
who own the Buckeye orehnrd", who
returned Tuesday evening from So
knnc, "and had we packed for show
purpose, and entered the free-for-all
we would have taken premier honors.
However our five nnd ten box dis
plays showed what we can do, nnd
we were first all the way on New
towns. Scores of peoplo daily ex
claimed at the beaut' of our apples.
As I said, I am more than glad wo

packing and shipment of the Houston
Hro. carload of Yellow Newtown ap

Show and who accompanied tho enr

The carload of 080 boxes took the

been put p in a diagonal instead of
a square pack, the rules of tho asso

Tlio fruit, pnek nnd conditions wore

given.
There were nine carload lots of ap

There were exhibits of Yellow New

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. C
Gcorge Alexander has been re-elect
ed mayor of Los Angeles, being swept
into office by n landslide, which gave
him n plurality exceeding 35,000, and
enrried with him ever other person
on the ticket endorsed by the business
interests of tho city, tho damaged I
maemues ot both iolitical parties
nnd tho so-culled good government
forces.
The socialist-labor union lenders
ndmit their utter rout and positively
insist that tho real, reason was tho
eleventh-hour developments in the
McNamnrn murder trials. Tho fact
that Job Hnrrimnn was one of the
labor men's attorneys eost him the
votes of thousands of union men and
women here who blamed him for not
publicly repudiating the MuNnmnrio
as soon as ho found they were guilty.
Tho vote was the largest in the his
tory of tho city. It was the first
time in the history of California tint
tho women wcro permitted to vote at
n municipal election in n largo city,
nnd they voted almost solidly ngniust
Hnrrimnn and his nssoointos. The
Alexander forces will hnvo uotnplete
control of the city nf fairs for the
noxt two years, having elected every
councilman and member of tho erdu
cntionnl boafd.
Prohibition was snowed under, the
suggestion that thecity go dry havinir

ratio of about four to one.

the so-called good government inter
