ina County Horticultural Union, is
away this week on a visit to Puget
Sound, studying the market condi-
tions and boosting for the products
of the Yakima valley. He will visit
seattle. Tacoma, Bellingham, Everett
and other points. MIR. Samson will
leave then on tour Of the east in
the interests of the Union. 1t is the
desire of the fruit growers here to
work up a good trade for their prod
ucts in the east, and they believe the
best way to get results is to send a
personal representative to the east
ern market. 1t Is the intention Of
Mr.. Samson to 60 as far east as New

intermediate points along the route.

BIG BOXING CONTEST
OCCURS TOMORROW NIGHT
Burrows and Curley Matched for n
Twenty-Round Bout-BrOwn
anu Martin Ten Rounds.

The boxing match match between
JackCurley and Jim Burrows, which
comes off at the armory tomorrow
Thursday night is the source of
much interest and comment in the
sporting circles OF the city. TIE last
sparring exhibition between these
men was the best ever seen here,
and the fact that they are going on
in twenty round mill attaches a
great deal more Of interest to the
match than existed before. for the
reason that all previous contests
given here have been only for fifteen
rounds. The introduction of the
principals in tomorrow nights smok-
err to the public is unnecessary. Each
can stand and will give great deal
of punishment, as was demonstrated
in the flfteen-round bout in this city
two weeks ago. Curley won the de-
cision, but from the fact that Bur-
rows is backing himself in the pres
ent contest good deal of apprehen-
sion on the part Of some of the Cur
ley enthusiasts is being felt, they
figuring that when man puts up
his own money on proposition Of
this kind, he at least believes in his
ability to best his opponent 1t is
sufficient to say that in any event
the contest wlll be well worth the
price OF admission.
On the same occasion, as a pre-
round bout between the two colored
heavy weights, Bud Martin and
George Washington Brown. These
two aspirants to championship hon
ors, at least the championship of
North Yakima, will put up fire ex-
hibition of the fistic art. Bad blood
exists between these two men. and
their part of the show will undoubt-
eddy be interesting in it's final re-
suits. There will be other good pre-
liminaries between some Of the Local
light and bantam weights. The price
Of admission will range from fit,
cents to $3.50.

TRYING TO FORM POOL
Oregon Hop Growers will Hold for
Higher Prices-DOC. Pincus
on the Situation.

Doc. Pincus, Of the firm of Isaac
Pincus and Sons of Tacoma, dealers
in hops. arrived in the city Tuesday.
4ur. Pincus came over on business
connected with his firms interests.
They have representative here.
What are hops worth, Mr.. Pin
cus?" asked a Herald reporter.
That's hard question to answer
today" he replied, las / have not
heard the result OF the meeting in
Oregon, which is now in progress.
What meeting is that, and what
is the object of it,"
Mr.. Pincus then went into detail
in regard to this gathering Of hop
growers. stating that the Oregon pro-
ducers were in convention for the
purpose of forming pool to hold
their hops and send the market price
up. He said that the market, as II
stands today will yield rs cents for
choice hops, but that II successful
combination was formed in Oregon
it would force the price up several
points.
According to Mr.. Pipcus there are
yet 5000 bales of old hops held by
the growers of Yakima county, and
in other parts Of the state about 1000
bales--a total OF about 5000 bales in
the hands OF Washington growers
The pool II formed in Oregon will
control about 10000 bales.

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
James Spencer. Charged with Rape
Acquitteti-Boyd Jury Secured.

Just before noon today a jury to
try Willard Boyd on the charge of
murder was secured, as follows:
George Allen, Miles Barager, Warren
Viles, Joe Schreiner, George Rodman
Jr., j. Kaler, c. c. Case, John Rod
man, Willis Baker. J. f. COPYRIGHT,
A. r. Goodwin. John w. Goodwin.
The hearing was commenced at once,
and doubtless will take up the re-
mainder of the week.
In the case of James Spencer, an
Indian charged with the rape of Fan
ME Rambler, a white girl, the jury ac-
quilted the defendant. The prose
cution's main witness, the little girl,
swore That the charges brought by
the state against the defendant were
false.
In the case of the state versus

agreed. and the case is set for re-

trial on May LIST. In the case against
Orrin Irving. charged with assault
with deadly weapon, the jury re-
turned verdict merely Of assault.
The motion OF Lee G. Dele, attor-
ney for J. Edward Hughes, charged
with rape, that the case be postponed
untii the next term of court was all
lowed. The court IL fully one week
behind the schedule of the criminal
docket now. and when the Boyd case
Is nnisned, 1t Is probable that all
remaining cases will have to be re-
set for later dates.

RUSSIANS START FOR JAPAN
LONG PROCESSION MAKES PA

Prisoners Were Treated With the
Greatest Respect and Kindness.

of the Russian garrison at Port Arthur
were marched from the village of va
hutsui, on the shores of Pigeon Bay,
for fifteen miles to the railway station
at Ch~anglingtzu at 8 o'clock and the
other attachments followed soon after.
Each detachment vas accompanied by
six loaded transport carts.
The Russians during the night will
be taken on special trains of open
trucks to Dalny INT there they will i'm
mediately embark for Japan, on trans
ports now waiting in that port.
The long procession of the remnants
of the gallant Russian garrison was a
pathetic spectacle. The first arrivals
at ChanglingtZu were four Droskies,
drawn by sorry looking horses. They
contained the staff officers who had re-
fused to give their parole. All wore
their swords as they were allowed to
do under the terms of the capitulation
compact.
! A few minutes later the first detach-
ment arrived. The regimental officers
marched with their men, their heads
bowed and their faces scanned with
lines showing the result of h menta
and physical strain they had undergone
during the long defense.

about them with evident curiosity the
faces of the Russian officers were an
interesting study. All of them appear

they had undergone. The officers were
clean and well clothed. but the men
were clad in dirty looking sheep skin
coats and appeared TO be resigned and
glad that the mi had come.
The horses drawing the transport
carts were suffering with fatigue,
though the loads were small. They were
tied to the carts and led by orderlies.
In the procession were many lean look

In many cases officers refused to wear
their swords, but had them carried be-
hind them by orderlies. The officers
saluted the European and American
correspondents with the japanese army
and appeared to be both pleased and
astonished at seeing the Europeans and
Americans there.
The prisoners were treated with the
greatest respect and kindness, though
they were regarded with much natural
curiosity. The soldiers were given
food. cigarettes and beer. and the cor
