SEEDLESS APPLE
IS NOT A FAKE
Says Senator Crowley Of the
Spencer Product After Very
Careful Investigation

As to whether or not the Spencer
seedless apple is a fake has been a
subject of much interest to fruit grow
ers, horticulturists and scientific men
and has been frequently denounced as
a fraud. The company has been fight
ing battle for existence ever since
its beginning but has seemed to
thrive in spite Of the bitter war wag
ed against the new variety. The fol-
lowing article which appeared in the
Grand Junction Sentinel of Nov. is
contains some arguments in favor
of the proposition which sounds very
plausible:
The Spencer seedless Apple com
pany desired to do some considerable
advertising in the Orange Judd publ
cations and application was made to
the officers of the company in New
York by Manager W. c. Scheu, now
in New York.
A cardinal principle of the Orange
Judd publications is to accept no ad
vertisement that has any suggestion of
being questionable or being for the
purpose Of imposing upon the public
fake. in any form or by any means
through an advertisement in their
publications In order to be sure of
their ground they decided to send one

of the best horticulturists in all the
west to this city, to the home of the
parent company and where the first
apple was grown. known as the Spen
Ger Seedless apple, to make personal
investigation of the matter. That in
dividual was w. F. Crowley. whose
integrity is unquestionable through
out all the west as an horticultural
expert. Mr.. Crowley came to Grand
Junction and was taken to the Spencer
orchard and made personal examina-
tion of the original trees. eating the
seedless apple therefrom and was af
terward given every opportunity to
examine the financial and individual
backing of the company and their
growing seedless apple trees with the
following result, made in report to
the Montrose Press and which has
been filed with the Orange Judd pub
locations with the result that the
Spencer Seedless Apple company has
made heavy advertising contract
with those publications.
Certainly the combined nursery
companies, which have been foiled at
every turn in backcapping the seed
less apple. will now Law down and
stop their nefarious work. Mr.. Crow
ley s article is as follows:
To the Press: In response to your
request for the facts regarding the
Spencer seedless apple as result of
my recent Investigation Of the same, l
herewith present you sample of the
fruit and few of the chief features
of the proposition
The apple is practically seedless
and coreless. Occasional specimens
have seeds like other varieties. Mr..
E. L. Green. secretary Of the Spencer
Seedless Apple company. and a nur-

It was all ideal day for the journey and the road was in fine condition. affording q strong contrast to other roads in the vicinity, the Watertown for example.

Thompson ill one hour and twenty-five minutes, the party again faced the camera, after which all sat down to one of Mine Host Coxs appetizing shore dinners. On the return trip no special order was followed, each auto party starting 'go as you please" On all sides delight was expressed at the happy termina- tion of the trip without anything to mar the pleasure of the trip, If we kindly refrain from mentioning Matt Byrnes's strenuous efforts to get to the front of the camera. and his com plaints. which were not infrequent, +hot l,;, 1,oI shortened an inch or two by striking thank a'ams.'

THE GOLDEN GATE
James II. Elliott Prefers This Part oi
 the World.

James NJ. Elliott, an employe of the Waterbury Manufacturing Co, has no use for California. the land of big fieas and flowers, the union shop and high wages, the Chinaman and the gold mine. Mr Elliott has just returned from q years visit to the place, and though he had everything that ought to induce him to remain there, he finds Waterbury good enough.
 Mir Elliott reached the Golden Gate by the sea route. He sailed from New York to Panama, crossed that country by rail and took ship again by a Pa cific Mail steamer. It took sople time to reach his destination by this route. but it was far more economical than the overland way, and very many times better. Though wages from an eastern point of view is high, in San Francisco from local view it is rather low, on account of the thou sands of Japanese and Chinese that the white man must enter into cOmpe- titiOn with.> All along, the coast from California to rNaHcouver.i BnG.y Japs and Chinese and Portuguese seem to be in the majority as laborers. Bricklayers are paid S6 day, but the purchasing power of money is no greater than in the east, lower, if any thing, on account of the high prices for everything. The yellow peril is rapidly becoming recognized in the trades and the white mechanic and la borer must reckon with it in the labor market On the steamer that took Mir Elliott from San Francisco to Panama there were 1S0 carpenters who went west to seek their fortunes and found the venture failure.
 The past year business of every sort has been extremely dull for the white man. while his yellow brother seemed to be quite active. As an illustration of the labor conditions out there last winter, Mir Elliott said that to accom- modate the extremely large number of tramps. men who had actually no place to go and nothing to eat, the iail yard in San Francisco had to be roofed over to protect the wanderers who applied nightly for help from the heavy night dews peculiar to the Pa cific slope.
 Mir Elliott met a carpenter from Fall River. Mass, who had tramped 700 miles looking for work. So hard were times with this man that he was compelled to gradually sell the clothes on his back. Chinese, Japs and Por- tuguese furnish most of the labor for the farms, and as they can subsist on less than their white brethren, they consequently are able to sell their labor for far less. The white man who depends upon his muscle for sup port in the country of the Golden Gate must consider men from the Orient first in all their calculations. for they form the vital point ill every economic proposition.

 Young Woman Knocked Down by
 Comedians Motor Car.
 NEW YORK, June 5. = Sergeant, you know we run down our friends sometimes. though usually they run us down. said Marshall P. Wilder .whsn he found himself under arrest for down young woman with his automobile.

Policeman Hei- denreich arrested MT. Wilder and his two companions. At the police station Mir. Wilder said he was sorry and as- sured Miss Collins he would not in. tentionally injure her or any one else for the world.
 He offered to pay the doctors ex- penses if she was hurt and if not to give her ride to her home. The vic- tim, who had recovered by this time, admitted she was not hurt and accept cd the second offer, saying it was one of her pet ambitions to ride in an au- tomobile.

 onss to Dsipf h.

Officer Joseph Mclean had hand to hand fight with Rocco Riccio Sun day morning Riccio had been drink ing and was prowling about Books saloon on the corner of ScOyill and Spring streets when the officer first saw him. The man seemed to be looking for his hat for his head was bare. RicciO did not submit to be searched and the moment the officer tapped him on the right hip pocket he went for him. Down went Riccl0 to the sidewalk and then the fight be- gan. They fought all over the street. Once the officer went down and got the boots, but he was up in mo. ment and they went at it again. At length the prisoner said he might as well go and he marched of. This was merely a feint, but the officer was on the lookout for he was sus- pici0us. On South Main street the prisoner suddenly turned on the off, car and gave him q stinger on the left ear. But he was not taken off his guard and the next moment Ric- cio was under him on the ground. Riccio tried to get his right hand to his inside coat pocket and finally suc- ceeded. He produced a dagger which was afterwards seen to have once been file. The officer sent 1t flying across the street and then rapped for assistance. Officer Walsh responded, and Riecio was landed in q cell a few moments after This morning. rather than face Judge Burpee in the city court, he paid $25.
 Terrence Hines and Patrick Mckee were each fined $1O and costs for in. toxication.
