low WATER IN SNAKE RIVER
LARGE AMOUNT OF FRUIT is
AWAITING SHIPMENT AT
RIVER POINTS.
o. r. G. N. Company Will Endeavor to
Draft Small Boats to Make
the Trips.

Points on the Snake river between
Log Cabin rapids, above Riparia, and
Lewiston, are practically isolated. So
low has the stream fallen that the O.
r. & N. cannot get it's steamers over
the rapids and about 100 cars of fruit
remain at the waters edge awaiting
shipment to market.
This deplOrable state of affairs has
been known and the 0. R. & N. is doing
everything in it's power to provide
transportation facilities. 1t is assured
that if it is possible to get the steam
ers Norma or Mountain Gem over the
rapids the company will arrange i'm
mediately to close a charter for one
and place her in service to get the
fruit out, as it is realized the loss of
the products at this time will seriously
affect the growers who have a large
sum at stake. The company would
probably be placed at greater expense
in furnishing a boat than the fruit
would pay for, but in order to protect
the shippers as far as possible it has
been determined to provide transporta-
ton Of it can be done.
The usual rise on that part of the
Snake comes between August 20 and
September 1 if there is any rain in the
mountains, and then it amounts to but
a few inches, and for this reason it is
figured there must be prompt steps
taken to avoid the shipments being
held up, as it is not certain the steam
ers will be in any better condition in a
month

Will Organize Apple Pool.

Richie &, Gilbert, the we'll known
Toppenish growers and shippers, have
planned to organize big apple pool
and will endeavor to interest every
grower in the Yakima valley. They
believe that by so doing every grower,
no matter how slight his crop, will be
able to get the very best price for his
apples, and not be at the mercy of the
buyers. In this way the best mar
kets in the world will be opened. Mr..
Gilbert advises all growers to refrain
from making any contracts looking
toward the disposal of their apples I'M
til they have heard from him. Circu-
lar letters are being sent out advis-
ing the growers of the organization of
the pool and giving full particulars
covering same.-Yakima Herald.

st runs high.
The Canada cup was first offered by
she Toldeo Yacht club in 1896. The
Royal Canadian Yacht club challenged

canada. She won it from the Chicago
yacht Vencedor, at Toledo, but in
1899 the cup returned to the United
States, the 35 foot yacht Genessee,
from Rochester. representing the
Chicago Yacht club, defeating the
Beaver, representing the Royal Can
adam Yacht club. In 1901 the Can
ian yacht Invader defeated the Cad
lilac of Detroit, winning back the cup.
Last year the Irondsquoit, forty foot
yacht, representing the Rochester
Yacht club. won back the trophy by
defeating the Royal Canadian Yacht
q lbs defender Strathcona.
Under the rules for the cup race the
Tictorious yacht must win three out
of five races. At the races for the cup
beginning this afternoon, the yacht
-roqnois, a Hereschoff boat, will be the
defender, while F. Nichols Temeraire

Especial to News and Observer
New York Nov. 10.-The report of
the Agricultural Department issued
today, making the condition of the
crop 6S.S on the first of November,
Dug at finally to silence the pessimis-
tic prophecies of a small crop. The
criticism that was directed at the de-
partment by the short crop extremists
for the alleged mistake in it's high
condition of a month ago has doubt
less made the authorities extremely
careful in the compilation of the re-
port published today. and the trade
generally seem to have overlooked the
fact that today's report finds practical
confirmation in the report of Miss
Giles, issued on October goth, in which
she made the condition of the crop
on that date 6S. as against 81. on the
18th of October and 72.1 on the first
Of November. 1904.
The report of October 3rd, 1894,
made the condition of the crop 1873.
A normal deterioration during the
month of October is not in my opinion
less than Z IL per cent, which would
indicate q condition at this time last
year. had a report been published,
of $50, or almost precisely the figures
of today. In other words, L think it
will now be conceded that according
to the Agricultural Department, the
condition of the crop today is about an
equal to that of last year at this time,
and such being the case. it now seems
like the blndest faulty to expect a
crop estimate from the department on
the third of December of under H.
10000 bales, while my own investi-
CATION taken in conjunction with the
census report, leads me to expect a
