These officers for the ensuing year wnre elected yesterday morning by the directors of the National Horticultural congress. The election of all the new officers was unanimous. Following the election of officers John P. Cummings, accredited delegate from the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, addressed the board relative to holding the fruit show In 1910 In Spokane. He said: Spokane Is with you f.rst, lust and al ways. Wo wanted ta have the next meet ing held In Spokane tn connectl n with the Nation il Irrigation enngrtss and the Inter state fair, which will be In session there October 2-7, 1909. but as you have decided to have It here next year, a'l I have to say Is that we are with you. We want It then for 1910. I have been Instructed bv the Bpokano Chamoer of Commerce to give II word of honor that If you will take the 1910 meeting of the National Horticultural con gre.'S to Spokane we will send It back to Council Bluffs the following year. We will have thousands of dollars to spend adver tising the west st' eastern fairs, and as fruit Is the greatest asset the state of Washington has most of our appropriation w ll bo spent at the Nat'onal Horticultu al congress. Let me sy thin that you havs exhibits here from onlv one or two of the fifty fruit districts cf Washington t Is year, but you will see them all here n xt year. Those who are hero from our state are mightily pleased with the way they have been treat t, and you will see them all here again. The newly elected board of director will meet Friday evening In the rooms of the Commercial club for the purpose of trans ai ting the closing business of the 1909 meet ing of tho congress. , German Delegate Talks. Tho feature of tho morning program at the National Horticultural congress yester day was an address by Herr Nikola Kau manns, agricultural commissioner from the German empire to the United States. Hcrr Kaumanns visited the fruit show as the guest of Rev. Father Herman, pastor of 8t. Peter's church. In Introducing the distinguished visitor from Germany, Father Herman said In part: You probably dn not know that Germany is the only country on earth which sends a special commissioner of agriculture to ttie United States. And the office of this commlKsloner Is to study the methods of ngrlculture in the United States, and a' the aamo time teach us some things ir rcpara to agriculture. If you ask me What special studies h makes, I can tell you that he tries t study everything that pertains to sgrlcul tore. He studies, not only our spples, on orchards, he also studies everything abou our corn, and. In fact, about all ou: products of agriculture. He studies ou- animals, especially our milch cows. An he has told me that the products of ou cows are first rate everywhere In the country, except, sometimes. In our cities Mr. Kallmann la Imperial commissioner He Is a man who knows, so to say, every thing about our farms, and about all out products, all our' experts, etc. Herr Kaumanns, after referring to the National Corn exposition In Omaha, said In part: We admire 1n the old world the gigantic development of American fruit culture, and I made fruit culture mv special study dur ing my stay of a year and a half In the United States. It Is especially fruit cul ture and the raising of vegetables In the United States which shows us haw much a horticulturist can accomplish by his un tiring work and ftialnnate talents for commerce. Fruit Is of the greatest Importance. Corn has made many a rich man richer, but horticulture has enriched thousands of poor families and more than any culture will fruit also In the future be the thing for the poor man. And gentlemen, you have to reckon with thla The strength of a oountry lies, not to the riches of a few Individuals, but In the well being of the middleman, and these are the small farm ers. Corn In this country Is considered the king of all farm products, and It Is so on account of Its yielding such Immense finan cial results.' But fruit will Increase and surely conquer the market, not alone In the United States, but In all the world. It serves as a food for man, not only In tho United States, but also In the world. As a proof of this I only mention thst last year your exports to Europe alone were 1.3K7.278 barrels of apples, valued at 14. 8.14.. 104. Now, gentleman, you are fruit growers on a broad, commercial basis. Tou raise I wonderful fruit j Fruit is to become, more and more, a Hence, you must raise more fruit so that the price of fruit will become less In the future. In order to accomplish this you will ha 'e to plant more trees, but espe cially to battle against the great enemies of fruit culture, as, for Instance, the San Jose scale, in tills respect I wish to tell you that precautionary measures are an absolute necessity. Do not wait until these enemies have taken possession of your or chards. Gentlemen, I admire your nice and tasty exposition in this beautiful building. The whole arrangement shows and proves to me that the leaders and Inaugurators of this unique exposition have dune their duty and I congratulate them upon their suc cess. Prlaro of Apple. "The roost valuable apple ever Intro duced," la the way Hon. Q. B. Brackett, United States pomologlst and probably the higheat authority on applea tn tho world, has characterised a magnificent big variety of apple being exhibited at th National Horticultural congress. Tho nane of thla remarkable fruit Is appropriately, "Delicious," and th hungry i " . . ' . iwii ivi ( 1 1 a wul,ii mi i a i k t. hordes who linger over the booth longing for a taat of one of the enticing specimens, have given their approval to the name. As this apple was orlginsted In Madison county, Iowa, by the late 9t A. Htatt, It Is of peculiar Interest to orchardlata In this section. It Is safe to say that when local grower awaken to Its possibilities the "Delicious" will be the main apple of these states. It Is well adapted to the climate, and Its value aa a profit-maker exceeds anything grown In this section. The yield Is large and perfect, and th fruit surpasses In flsvor and appearance any apple ever raised. A. B. Howell, representing the Stark Brothers' Nursery and Orchard company of Louisiana, Mo., sole owners of the strain and of the trademark name "Delicious," 1 taking personal charge of the Introduction of this wonderful apple to orchardlsts vis iting the show, and Is enthusiastic over the prospects of Its great future. "Every authority who has tested the 'Delicious' has pronounced It perfect," said Mr. Howell, "and I am sure Nebraska and Iowa growers will soon realise Us possi bilities." A visit to see these handsome specimens of .this great apple Is well w.orth anyone' time. At the same booth Stark Brothers are also showing the "King David," the only seed ling of the -Jonathan they are now propa gating, and an offspring that far excels It j arent; the "Champion," the longest keep ing apple known and a very young bearer; the "Senator." "Ben Hur," "Winter Banana" and "Stayman's Wine Sap," a seedling originated by the late Dr. Stayman of Topeka, Kan. No specimens have been entered for pre miums by Stark Brothers, their sole object being to demonstrate to Iowa and Nebraska llclous.' and their other varieties Attendance on Increase. The attendance yesterday afternoon affd evening was much greater than on the two previous days and last night the crowd was about as big aa the building could accom modate. Prof. Joseph Craig of Cornell universty, New York, delivered a short address last evening on "The Outlook for Fruit, With Special Reference to the European Mar ket." Owlntf to the large crowd, which kept constantly on the move, only those In close proximity to the platform from which Prof. Craig spoke, were enabled to hear the lec ture. A pleasing feature of the afternoon, sn( one that will be repeated Friday and Saturday afternoon, war the singing by a clorus of 100 pupils from the public schools of the city under the direction of Miss Barr. The young people sang three sol. t ii..ns, "Hark Hark, How the Rain Is Falling," "The Sea King's Burden" and Brahm's "Lullaby." The tlckettakers assigned for this after noon and evening are: Afternoon, John Ol son and C. W. Coker; evening, James W. Mitchell and Frank T. True. Premium Awards.

BISECT VOTE FOB SENATORS Effort Made to Wreck Melannrch Bridge Under Coarse of Construc tion by Removing Wedges from Unanlshed Work. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Ia., Dec. 17.-(Spec.laI.)- One of the most radical of departures In tax matters I to be recommended to the coming legislature of Iowa by the Iowa Tax Revision society and the Iowa Municipal league. It Is a revision of the law so as to throw the tax burden for public Improvements upon the shoulders of coming generations who are to enjoy th privileges Instead of principally upon the present generation. It Is urged that where public parks are bought, new city halls built, now bridges constructed and the like that are to be of Bervlce for fifty or 100 succeed ing years the tax burden should be so apportioned as to fall but partially on the property owners" of. the present time and the additional tax upon citizens of succeeding years who will enjoy the benefits and privileges of these Improve ments.

Election of Senators. Stat Senator E. J. Moon of Ottumwa, at the coming seaslon of the legislature, will Introduce the bill which was sup ported by tho democrats at the special session and which would, If enacted, give the election of United States senators by direct vote, to the people In this state. The democrats propose an amendment to the primary law whereby the names for the various candidates for United State senator, regardless of party shall be placed on th regular Australian bal lot where legislator aro elected. Then very voter Is asked to vote his choice for senator. Every candidate for the legisla ture la requested to sign an agreement to abide by the choice of the people for senator. This 1 not compulsory but It Is expected that he who refuses to algn such an agreement would stand slim chances at the polls. Then the democrats would have the candidate for senator receiving the largest number of popular votes elected by the legislature. If there should be a democratic legislature and the people voted for a republican senator they would have tho legislature elect the republican who was the choice of tho people. This la one way cf getting round the United States constitution aa It now stands. It Is virtually the Ore gon law. Tries to Wreck Bridge.
