A BIG APPLE SHOW One Held at Spokane Was Successful—s7o,ooo in Premiums FOR NEXT YEAR A Real Fish Story From the West—A Third Degree Bum Spokane, Wash.. Dec. 17. —National Apple Show in Spokane, December 7 to 12, the first of its kind and scope ever attempted on this continent,was so successful that the directors, headed by E. F. Cartier Van Dissel, have

decided to repeat it on a more extensive scale next year, when premiums amounting to $70,000 are to be awarded for displays in the various competitions. Orchardists from Washingten, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia, competing here, endorse the plan to make the exposition ar. annual affair, and have already pledged 30 cars or more than 2,000,000 apples for 1909. Chicago and other gateway cities in middle western and eastern states are favored for the exhibition next year by some of the growers, who believe that these points efier greater opportunities to popularize the apple as a fruit and food than any place in the northwest where the growing of winter apples has become almost as extensive as wheat farming. The growers and directors will select the city at a joint meeting here, in the event it is voted to send the exhibit to an eastern point. “If the growers and directors decide to have the 1909 show in Spokane.’’ said Mr. Van Dissel, "it will be necessary to procure larger quarters, and it U likely a permanent structure with from 160,000 to 200,000 square feet of floor space will be erected. More than 100,000 paid admissions were turned in during the week and on one day the attendance was 21,853. We have received letters from growers in New England, eastern and middlewestem states, saying they will enter their fruit in more classes if the show is repeated next year. We purpose beginning our work early in January for the 1909 show.” Spokane, Wash., Dec. 17. —Four sturgeon, the largest being 10 feet two inches in length and weighing 400 pounds, were caught by Gustave Patten, Frank Vincenk land Z |S. C. Wamsley, of 110, Idaho, in Snake river near the mouth of Red Bird creek southeast of Spokane. Two two-horse team was required to haul the 1,100 pound catch to town. The men used 600 feet of heavy rope as a line, the rod being a tree. A steel hook was baited with a large eel and weighted with 20 pounds of lead. To permit the fish to play on the line the shore end was fastened to a tree which swayed with every movement of the sturgeon in their endeavors to get away. The fishermen say they had the most difficulty in landing the smallest fish, which was six feet in length and weighed 200 pounds. It fought and lashed the water for almost an hour, before it was brought to the river bank. These are the largest fish caught on the Snake river this season, where students of Isaak Walton have been busy for mouths.

Spokane, Wash., Dec. 17. —Michael Davick, 32 years of age, a laborer in the Consolidated smelter at Trail, B C., where he sustained what is termed a “third degree” burn by molten lead, three weeks ago, is recovering in Sacred Heart hospital here.

Dr. Walter Queen Webb, suregon, who with Dr. G. A. Downs performed the operation, declares that young Davick’s action is an example of modern heroism and is all the greater because it was deliberate. The brothers have made numerous friends among the visitors at the hospital and in the city by their devotion to each other, and they see that the patients are provided with delicacies and fruits and books. o GUILTY OF COUNTERFEITING.
