same success with one as with the
others. In other words, every part oil
the state of Washington should learn
what their climatic and soil conditions
are best adapted to grow successful
ly and follow those lines. AS to mar
keting of fruit, this side Of the ques-
ton is in class all by itself.
"In the first place, there is no COM
munity in the United States tnat has
a better field to market its fruit in
than the state of Washington. The
states of Montana, North and South
Dakota, the country in Canada tribu-
tary to Winnipeg, and Alaska will al
ways be tin can states. 1t will be
necessary for them to buy their fresh
fruit from outside growers, and what
they don't get fresh they will get in
tin cans No state is SO we'll situated
to supply this demand as are the
farmers of the state of Washington.
,"All the grain growers of the state
have grain commissioner who
spends considerable money in teach
ing them how to market their grain
The fish industry has a fish commits

During the past fruit season numer-
Gus complaints have been heard from
the fruit growers of WhatcOm county
over the poor outlook for apples in
Bellingham and other markets up
north. 1t was claimed that there was
no profit in sending apples to Belling-
ham, owing to the low prices paid for
them. To a large extent this is true.
for it is impossible to secure good
prices for scabby apples, yet this is
what majority of the apple growers
in that county have evidently been
expecting. They seem to have entire
ly forgotten that to get good prices
for any commodity it must be OF the
best grade, and must reach the market
in good shape. On no kind OF produce
does this apply with greater force
than on apples. The commission mer-
chants are ever talking of the neces-
sity of good apples, good packing and
good packages, if good prices are to
be had, yet there are many growers
who disregard the injunction and send
their poorest fruit to market, 1ndlf-
ferently packed and graded and
grumble because they can't get bet
ter prices.
In Whatcom county this condition of
things has been going on so long that
the more progressive fruit growers
finally awoke to the necessity of doing
something they set about to do
what they ought to have done years
ago-they organized into an associa-
ton. Two weeks ago some fifty of the
growers of the county met in Belling-
ham and formed the Whatcom County
Fruitgrowers' Association. j. H.
Kirkpatrick, a well-known grower of
Custer, acted as chairman of the meet
ing, and H. ]. Dakin, of Enterprise
was secretary. The following commit
tee of five was appointed to effect a
permanent organization: d. d. Egan,
Bellingham; T. B. Smith, Lynden; G.
e. Flint, Blaine; S. P Connor, Sumas,

vegetables. This gives us a diversity
so that in case anyone, or more,
should have bad year, the chances
are that some of our other crops will
probably bring a good price; therefore,
we do not suller as much as if we were
all depending upon single crop.
'T realize that all communities can
not grow the same crops that we can
in this valley, but l also realize that
they can raise crops that we can not
raise here; therefore, every commu-
nifty should adapt itself to the condi-
tions as they find them, and there is
no community in the state of Wash
ington that is not well fitted to grow
some kind of fruit. This is an age of
specialties. Our specialties in the
Puyallup valley, in the line of fruit,
are raspberries and blackberries. We
don't make much of success OF
strawberries here, therefore, the
quicker we find out what we are suited
for the more money we will make.
The eastern Washington farmers can
grow apples and get a much superior
color than the same varieties grown
in western Washington, and the east
ern Washington farmers can not grow
every variety of apples and make the

know tnat the fruit commissioner de-
votes his time in teaching our people
how to keep their orchards free from
insects and pests, and what kind of
fruit is best adapted to their vicinity.
] think that the next session of our
legislature should add another depart
ment to the fruit commissioner, an
industrial agent, whose duty it will be
to have a deputy in Seattle, one in
Tacoma and one in Spokane and see
that the grower gets every considera-
tion that he is entitled to in marketing
his fruit, and to whom the growers
could apply for information regarding
market conditions or to file any COM
plant they might have regarding the
commission houses.
''ln addition to this we should have
capable man to travel through the
states east of us, where our fruit is
now marketed, and work up business
for the industry. If the people of
Vashon island and the people of Ken
newick, growers of Strawberries, and
other strawberry growers coming into
the market at the same time, could be
advised where their berries would
bring the best price, what strawber-
rieS come in competition with them,
and in case carload of their straw
berries were shipped to some point
where the prices would not be salts
factory the same could be diverted,
we could avoid overstocking the mar
ket. Where the transportation rates
are excessive and higher than our
competitors pay for the same service
the matter could be called to the rail
road handling our product and in ev-
cry instance reduction could be had.
AS it is today, our growers are not
strong enough and ship their fruit to
commission houses and brokers that
they do not know and never have
seen. They do not know what fruit
OF similar class enters the market at
the same time, and there is no way
Of learning, but if the state had all
official of this kind, markets could be
found for every bit of fruit that the
state of Washington could produce for
years to come. Ten years ago when
the berry growers OF the Puyallup
valley were raising 1000 or 5000
crates OF berries per year, the price
went down to 40 cents to 60 cents per
crate, but by careful nursing and the
assistance of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, our yield has grown
to nearly 100000 crates per season
and the price per crate increased to
about 81 per crate. This is only an
example of what can be done with
our other classes of fruit.
81 think it is merely a question of
time when all of the leading papers
of the state will see the need of an
organized effort in the interest of the
fruit industry of the state of Wash
ingtOn. Our fish industry, our lum-
ber industry and our wheat industry
are all developed and no longer need
nursing, and the fruit industry can be
taken up and brought to the same
height as our other large industries
Not only will it bring a good revenue
at the present, but in years to come
when our lumber and fish are not so
plentiful we will not see the hard
times that we will experience if We
do not build up a diversified line of

Whatcom County Growers Organize

and Henry Smith, Ferndale. This
committee took the matter in charge
and will draw up bylaws for submis-
sion at a meeting to be held this
month.
1t has been rather surprising to
fruit men generally that the growers
of Whatcom county had not organized
before this, considering that their
county is one of the best west of the
Cascade range for the successful grow
ing of apples and other fruits. They
certainly have lost much money by not
coming together sooner. But now that
they are a unit and have determined
to see that their product is properly
packed and placed on the market in
the right shape, with an intimate
knowledge as to what is demanded by
the different markets and what prices
prevail at any particular period, they
may expect to reap profits from their
fruit trees. They should put in charge
who understands the business and
who will keep his eye on the markets
at all other points and learn for the
benefit of the association what sue
cessive steps each season are best to
attain the greatest profit in the indus
try. Some attention should also be
paid to the matter of canneries at
proper points to utilize the windfalls
and inferior fruits that should never
be allowed to show up in the markets
along with the first and second grades.

CCORDING to President Bryan, OF
4ha Ma n oton State COLLEGE, at

n the washington State College, a,
"A Pullman. there is nothing that
retards the development of the fruit
industry more than the lack OF ade-
ouate organization, both at local points
and in the markets in the east and
west. The individual fruit grower
cannot possibly know the varying con-
ditions of the different markets, and
when he sends a shipment to what he
considers a good market he is at the
mercy of the dealers. With an orga-
nization of the growers in each sec
ton of country man could be kept
at the markets, whose duty it would
be to look after the interests solely
of the organization that appointed him
and sent him there, advising the mem
bers of the demands of the market,
what prices prevailed, when to ship,
etc. More perfect organization than
is to be found at present would lead
not only to the fruit being in better
condition, but would also lead to it's
shipment to the proper distributing
point at the proper time. This will in
evitably result in larger checks be-
ing sent to the different shippers-and
is something worth working hard to
attain.
In the state of Washington there
is no one better qualified to speak on
this important subject than w. H.
Paulhamus, president OF the Puyallup
and Sumner Fruit Growers associa-
ton. This association long ago passed
the experimental stage in organized
shipping of fruits, and it has put into
the pockets of it's members annually
thousands of dollars that would have
been lost had they not been organized.
The following statements were ex-
pressed by Mr.. Paulhamus in a letter
to the Spokane Spokesman-Review
and are based upon his own expert
ences and observations as a member
and official of the Puyallup and Sum-
ner association:
In such times as we have had the
past three or four years, during which
wheat has brought good prices, it is
very hard to direct the average farm
er's attention along any other lines
Farmers are like anybody else, and
are too much inclined to be content
to let we'll enough alone. They don't
think of the hard times of the past,
or give any consideration to the hard
times that we are going to have In the
future. Any farmer producing a crop
OF single commodity will not only
nave good times, but will also expert
ence very hard times. If our people
could be taught to raise some grain,
some stock and some fruit, and any
other product that can be raised sue
cessfully and sold at a profit, they will
De In very much better condition when
the hard times do come as thew surely
Will, For example, last year the hops
raised in the Puyallup valley were
marketed at 80 cents per pound. This
year their crop of hops can not be
sold to exceed 10 cents per pound. If
there was nothing else raised in the
valley but hops, you can realize the
condition our people would be in, but
we not only raise hops, but fruit and
various other crops as well. among
winch are rhubarb, asparagus, straw
perries, raspberries, blackberries, ap-
pies, DfunlS nlarc nntotnac o.5 al -

Neabsco Creeks Strange Bridge

An interesting engineering feat has
beeu accomplished by the Washington
Southern Railway in constructing a
bridge across the backwater OF the Poto-
mac. known as NeabscO creek.
When piles sixty feet long were driven
into the mud no bottom was found and
it is said that the slime is 100 feet deep.
Earth was dumped into the stream to
make an embankment, but it "heaved"
up on both sides for distance Of 200
feet.
1t was finally determined TO drive
piles close together and build bridge
upon the piles, floating upright in the
mud. 1t was a complete success, for so
great is the grip of the mud upon the
sides of the piles that the bridge is as
stationary as though it we're built upon
granite. The idea was originated by the
late Major E t. ID. Myers, president OF
the road Manassas Journal.

Advices from Manila say that the in
ter-island steamer Canlabenia, OF l,O97
tons, was sunk in the recent typhoon of
Ticao Island, one of the Visayan group.
1t is thought all on board were lost. She
carried 5 Americans, l Spaniard and il
natives and Chinese passengers and crew
of 81 men and officers The island stem
er Carmen is also reported lost. Details
are lacking. The estimated loss 10 the
hemp-growiDg districts from the ravageS
of the typhoon is So, 900, 600 in gold.
The hemp in warehouses ready for ship
ment is also total loss. The plantations
are impaired to such an extent that 1t
will take year to get them in condition
again. Reports now coming in from the
south indicate greater loss OF life and
property than WAS at FIRST estimated.
On TicaO Island the beach is strewn with
dead bodies, among them those OF some
Americans, in such a condition as to be
unacceptable.

Assaulted a Passenger.

Vernon H. Kohn. passenger on the
steamer Norfolk, which left Washington
Al $50 o'clock yesterday evening, was
assaulted and seriously injured by
negro deck hand named j. Hazel Brown
shortly after the steamer lett that city.
1t seems that Brown, for some reason,
had entered the saloon and while there
neered into a stateroom. The watch
man of the steamer, who noticed the
procedure, ordered him below. Brown
left the saloon, procured a piece Of iron
pipe and soon returned with the evident
Intention of assaulting the Waterman,
but having met Mr.. Kobn first, he,
strange to say, began to use the piece oil
pipe On the unofending passenger. The
latter was struck on the back OF the
head and seriously injured before the
negro was secured and disarmed by mem
hers of the crew. When the Norfolk
reached her wharf at this place tele-
phone message was sent to the station
house and Officer Roberts repaired
hastily to the pier and took Brown in
custody. Dr. Jones was summoned TO
render medical assistance to Mr.. Kohn,
and after his head had been dressed he
was placed in a carriage aud, escorted
by Officers Henderson and Belts, pro-
cecded 10 the new union depot where be
boarded a train for New York. 1t is
said that Brown had been drinking and
was probably using cocaine when he
committed the assault. He was turned
over to the authorities of the District of
Columbia
