Fruit VIII Bo Plenty.

Grand Rapids. Mich, May 3.-The
reports from different points in the fruit
belt promise one of the largest crops of
fruit this season in the history of the
state. The winter was favorable to all
kinds of fruit from peaches to straw
berries. Not once did the temperature
reach the danger point and the steady
weather, deep snow and easy breakup
We're all good for the fruit. Barring
late frosts the crop will be immense.
An important factor in the fruit bust
ness this season will be the electric rail-
roads, which will soon be in operation.
Two lines are under construction--cne
from this city to Holland and the other
from Grand Rapids TO Grand Haven.
These lines. it is expected, will be COM
pleted in July, and both. traversng rich
fruit districts. will be used extensively
in marketing the crops The interurbans
will connect with the city lines and the
frui; cars will be taken direct TO the city
market. This will materially increa SIC
the quantity of fruit handled here.
When the peaches begin coming In in
August daily peach trains out of Grand
Rapids will be put on by most of the
roads. A large sorting and packing
house also may be established here.

Washington. May 8 From this time
on the most rigid economy will be prac-

and an effort will be made to reduce
the cost to the limit existing during
times of peace. Secretary Root yester-
day issued an order u the department
commanders in the feld, and all other
officers charged with the duty of max

tons for the expenditure of money, call
ing their attention io he Importance of
careful scrutiny to avoid unnecessary
expense.
The requirements of active military
operations. the order says, always tend
toward habits of expense not justified
in times of peace With the gradual
disappearance of these military neces-s
sites, which must be met without re-
gard to cost, the army will be hid re-
sponsible by the people of the country
for reduction of expenses and rigid

In discussing the order issued today
Secretary Root said the time had passed
When the presence OF troops were re-
quiredt in the field without regard TO
cost. He SAID peace in Cuba China and
the Philippines had been restored. With
the passing of these critical times and
the restoration of peace, the secretary
said the people of the country would
expect reduction in the expenditures,
and that the administration would do
all in its power IL cut down the cost of
malntaing the army consistent with de-
mands of the service,
ut is proper 10 reduce the expenses
of the army to the lowest possible fig
ure.r said Uncle Joe Cannon yesterday,
in discussing the order of Secretary
Root. Since the war is over their is
no necessity for haste in purchasing
supplies, and when the needs are not
pressing better terms can be made. The
people have a right 10 expect reduc-
ltion in the expenses of maintaining the
military establishment of the country
since peace has been restored.
During the war, when it was neces-
sary TO have ships and men in certain
quarters of the globe ready for lnlmed-
late action, no one comliained af the
heavy expenditures, and in fact no
fault could be found with the conduct
