GERMANY's APPLE CROP.
Smaller and Poorer This Seasou
Than in Years.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O-Germany
is about to have an apple crop smaller
IN quantity and poorer in quality than
has been gathered in recent years. ac-
cording to United States Consul Cen
eral Frank Mason at Frankfort. Cider
apples this year command three times
the usual price, he says, and no cider
will be made outside Of Wurtemburg.
Even cooking apples Of an interior
grade are selling in Frankfort at : to
8 cents per pound.
This deficiency is said to extend more
or less generally to France, Bohemia
and Northern Italy, so the conditions
favor a large importation of American
apples, though whether this will be
practicable or not will depend upon.
first, the supply in the United States,
and, second the spirit in which the
German officials enforce the inspection
laws.
Mr. Mason believes, in view of the
uncertainty of the trade, that the future
development will be in the direction of
dried and preserved fruits.

During the Official Trial Trip Of the New

Seven Men in the Boiler Room So
Badly Scalded That ALI Died of
Their Injuries-OHice of the

Statement as to the Cause Of
the Accident.

ASTORIA (Or), Oct. 2O.-During the

man; Paul Luithle, coal passer; Harry
Woods, fireman: w. Woods, Superin-
tendent of the boiler room; J. Ryan,
fireman; A. Johnson, fireman; A
NBuehle, fireman.
The accident occurred in the Colum-
bda River, about twenty miles above
this city, while the boat was on her
trial trip. The nature Of the explo-
sion has not yet been made known, as
an examination of the boilers will be
required to determine exactly what por-
ton of the boilers burst
One of the men on the Davis said:
1T is impossible to say whether the
tubes in the boiler or a steam pipe
burst. All we know is that an explo-
sion occurred The boiler room was
filed with boiling water and steam, and
the men in the room We're scalded to
DEATH
The Davis was towed here by a river
steamer and the injured men taken to
st. Mary's Hospital.
The Davis carried forty-one men, all
told. She was one of the two torpedo
boats recently built by Wolff & Zwick-
er at Portland, and was soon to have
gone into commission.
At the time of the accident the boat
was in charge of the official trial board.
The officers declined to make any
statement as to the cause of the ac-
cident. The best theory obtainable is
that some of the tubes in the forward
boiler exploded, owing to a derange-
ment of the automatic water gauge,
which permitted the water to get too
low. Excepting for the havoc natur-
ally wrought in the fireroom, the boat
is uninjured. the hull and engine being
in perfect condition
The Davis left up the river for the

Fe Company.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 20-The
Chronicle" in the morning will say
that Robert Watt, Vice President of
the San Francisco and San JOAQUIN
Valley Railroad, admits that the plac-
ing of 1900 or more shares of the
company's stock in escrow virtually
means that the Santa Fe Railroad is
to be extended to this city. In an in
terview Mr.. Watt said:
THE stock has been placed in es-
crow with the Union Trust Company
and an option given, all for the purpose
of enabling the Santa Fe to get into
San Francisco. The newspapers have
made one slight error. The option on
the stock now in the possession of the
Union Trust Company has not been
given to- the Santa Fe The option has
been given in the interest of the Santa
F'e, however, which amounts to practi-
caily the same thing. l do not care
to say who holds the option
Another important fact which has
just come to light is that the proposed
extension of the Valley road from
bakersfield to the nearest point on
line of the Santa F'e will be abandoned.
If negotiations which have been un-
dertaken by the Santa Fe, with the
object of securing a trackage right
over the tracks of the Southern Pacific.
between Bakersfield and Mojave, result
satisfactorily.
Referring to this matter, Vice Presi-
dent Watt said: "A new line from
bakersfield to Mojave would parallel
the Southern Pacific in a region where
not a dollars worth of traffic is To be
had. A line over the Tehachapi Noun
tains simply serves the purpose OF a
bridge, and might be used by several
companies to their mutual advantage.
as is the bridge over the Missouri az
Omaha"
