"Tho American party," said ho to
the United l'ress, "could make a

"It is likely jdiat tho two expedi
tions would moot and continue to

Two such purl tea ottaeking tho

perhaps ultimately co-oporating,
would ho of inestimable benefit to

Man in Charge of Local Car of

Sends Very Cheering
Message.
J. A. Perry received n telegram
from W. A. Hooker, who is in charge
of the car of Spitzenburgs shipped
to the Spokane apple show from
Tronson & Guthrie's orchard last
evening.
Mr. Hooker says nothing in his
wire concerning hto alleged change
of rules in scoring apples, but does
say :
"Chances for car good. The show
is fine."
Of the several telegrams received
by Mr. Perry from those on the
ground, no word is snid of a change
in tho rules since tho car was en
tered and shipped, which would in
dicate that that report, was without
foundation.

that tho apples exhibited by them at

expense and with the advertising of
the lake which the Southern Pacific
has promised to do next year the
travel should be much heavier than
it wus this yeur.
With the distance to the lake cut
in two, as it will be when the road is
completed to Butte Falls or beyond,
the time needed in which to visit the
lake will be greatly reduced and the
trip much more easily made. Tho
machines to be put. on will be large,
comfortable ones and there will be
no excuse for tourists not taking ad
vantage of the side trip.
Construction work on the Pacific

but at present the contractors aro
suffering from a lack of ties and
bridge timbers. President Allen
states that if these cannot be secur

their own mill and cut their own
