WENA7CHEE APPLES
GO TO THE DAkoTAs

Seventy FIVE per cent of the ap-
ples grown in Wenatchee this year will
be shipped to the Dakotas and Mimi
esota,' says Manager Foy, of the
cannery.
While the Dakotas and other states
of the middle west are not new mar
ket for Wenatchee fruit, the demand
is greater there this year than ever
before on account of the shortage of
easteran grown irnlt.
Through a New York broker the
cannery company has arranged for a
shipment of three thnusand boxes of
Winesaps to be sent to E. gland.
These apples are of the choicest grown
in the valley and are expected to do
great deal towards opening up mar
ket for Wenatchee fruit in England.
Mr.. Foy believes that Wenatchee
fruit growers are not making as much
as they might out of their fruit on
account Of carelessness in packing.
He states that Hood river fruit of the
same variety as that grown here
brings from % to 40 cents box more
on account of the superior way in
which it is packed. a little more cate
in packing the fruit would add con-
sliderably to the Wenatchee fruit
growers bank account according tc
Mr.. Foy.

KNOX
: FOR GOVERNMENT
RATE REGULATION
UphoIds Roosevelt's Plan tor Law
Controlling Freight Rates and Pre-
venting the Abuse of Power by Rail-
way Companies.

PITTSUBRG, Nov. 1.-THE chamb-
er OF commerce banquet tonlgl at tfe
Schenley hotel, which concluded the
founders celebration of the Carnegie
institute, was an event of national I'M
portance, the roster of speakers being
the most brilliant in the history of
the organization. The most notable
address was that Of Senator Knox,
who upholds the position of President
Roosevelt on the regulation of freight
rates.
Congressman John Dalzell was
toastmaster Three hundred of Pitts
burg's representative business men
were seated at the banquet table.
Senator Knox said:
The President believes that the pow.
er to pass upon the reasonableness of
a challenged railroad rate or practice
should be lodged in some tribunal in
which can also be constitutionally IN
vest d the power to fix reasonable rate
or practice in lieu of a rate found to
be unreasonable, and that rate found
by it to be unreasonable, and that the
rate so fixed should become as nearly
Immediately operative as possible.
The proposition that the national
government should exercise supervis-
ory control over the tax upon trans
portation became almost self evident
from te time the railroads began
though various devices, to concentrate
that taxing power N the hands of a
few men.
The governments efforts to check
this concentration Of powers under the
provision of the existing laws should
be supplemented by legislation which
will prevent the abuse of the power OF
taxing the movements of persons and
property under any form of concentra'
tion or under any circumstances what
ever.
