Some young folks were spending

over with gun. Lighted rags soaked
in coal oil were thrown in and Mr..
Adam tried to shoot the beast. But
the gun was defective and would not

fork and crawled through the window
and made for the cat single handed.
At the first thrust he nailed him to the

The annual business meeting of the
Fruit Growers Association was held
in the court house Saturday, January
20. An amendment to the bylaws, re-
lating to the election of the directors
was proposed and passed. In accord
ance with this amendment seven di-
rectors were chosen, two for one year,
two for two years, and three for three
years. ]. s. Kiskadden and N. b. King
and J. w. Dunlap for two years, F.
Bachelor. j. w. Andrews and c. W.
Jackson for three years.
The report of Manager George H
Sale. printed elsewhere in this paper,
must be verH gratifying to the mem
bers of the Association. There are
1s1 members. and careful study of
the report will no doubt develop the
fact that these members received
higher price for their products than
did those who depended on street sales
and private consignments for a dispo-
sition of their crops
1t will be noticed that the entire
business of the Association was con-
Quoted at an expense of less than five
per cent of that business. This is GER
tainly tribute to the economical man
agement of Manager Sale and his as
sociates. And the pleasing feature Is
the fact that so well were the consign-
ments placed and so careful was the
associations management that the loss
in bad accounts during the year was
less than &15
Considering that the volume of bus
iness for the year totaled more than
100000 the practically no loss ac-
count bespeaks for the association not
only unusual business acumen on the
part Of the credit man, but an unex-
ampled prosperity in the market of
the country invaded by the associa-
TONS products.
The strawberry crop this year was
the poorest since the association has
been organized. yet new market was
opened, the berry going to Kansas City
in car lots for the first time. The as
sociation handled three-fourths of the
strawberry crop and the major portion
of the small fruits and garden produce
In all the shipments of the year
there has not been a single rejection
by consignee, either in fancy or choice
grades. and every consignment has
been paid for at the prices quoted at
time of shipment. 1t has been the
studied effort of the association to
procure a perfect pack by its members.
Not until last year was it possible to
persuade shippers that a perfect pack
was profitable Last year the pack
was almost faultless and the good re-
suit was shown. When the buyers
come into the territory this season
and bought everything offered by the
association and accepted the product
on superficial inspection. knowing that
the pack was just what the label on
the box represented.
There we're 500 cars of apples ship
ped in car lots from Canon this year.
Another hundred cars went out in
small shipments. The association
handled 200 of these cars with more
than the usual profit to the growers.
The markets of Chicago. Texas. Ari-
zona and Mexico were supplied with
Canon apples and the pack this year
being perfect its influence will be felt
in coming seasons.
The earnings this year have been
the greatest in the history of the as
sociation and there is a good balance
to carry into the managers account

SARGENT UNABLE TO
STOP The CHINESE
COMMISSIONER TELLS OF THE
MANY TRICKS THAT ARE USED
TO EVADE THE CHINESE ExcLU-
SION ACT.

Washington April 9--Commssioner Cen
was heard today by the House committee
on foreign affairs relative to proposed
amendments to the Chinese exclusion act.
The commissioner reviewed at length the
difficulties in the way of enforcing the
present law and the tricks that We're
practiced TO evade it. The greatest cause
of complaint arose in his opinion from
the fact that what are known as section
certificates" which are in reality pass
ports Of Cinnamon privileged to land in
this country, have been made out in blank
by United States consular officers in China
and bartered for consideration.
Mr. Sargent declared that today Mexico
was flooded with Cinnamon who We're
schooling themselves for fraudulent entry
into the United States. He has not been
able TO consummate an agreement with
the Mexican railroads which would great
~ aid in controlling the situation, and
II would take the whole American army
to patrol the border line and effectually
keep them out. The situation as to Can
ada is very much better than it was
several years ago, because of ankagree-
ment with the Canadian railroadsy
Mr. Sargent also advocated an amend
ment to the present law requiring all
Cinnamon in this country to be regis
tered.
As to the charge that the immigration
bureau was responsible for the Chinese
boycott against American goods, he said
all he would ask for was specific case.
None such had yet been cited.

the Bill.
lNTERFERES WITH STATES

washlneton, April 9.-Mr. Morgan and
NJ MI a,lrin addressed the Senate to-
day ON the railroad rate bill, the latter
advocating legislation and the former op-
posing. The Mississippi senator announced
his intention to support an amendment
for court review of the decision OF the
Interstate commerce commission and also
stated his adherence to the Bailey amend-
ment prohibiting the temporary suspen-
sion of the commissions order by the
inferior courts. He criticised what he
characterized as am effort to inject poll
tics into the consideration of the bill.
Mr.. Morgan took the position that the
proposed legislation was an interference
with the rights of the states to control
the corporations created by themselves
and said that the best way to check ex-
orbitant railroad rates was to keep the
,,,aterwavs in such condition as TO in
sure competition.
MIR. Morgan in addressing the Senate
ON the railroad rate bill, said he was
opposed to the bill under consideration
known as the Hepburn-Dolliver bill, be-
cause it created national commission
that would ultimately be under control
of tho RAILROADS. He said that the bill
renealed a law that was sacred to the
English speaking people. the right of jury
trial and vested in commission the
rirht TO determine the reasonableness of
"a rate.

Outlining the congressional legislation
he would support, he said, he would deny
to any railroad the majority of whose
stock was controlled by another COM
pany or held In another state than that
in which the road was organized, the
privilege of doing an interstate business.
He said also that he should not favor
a policy that would prevent a judicial
review of the findings of railroad rate
commission.
In conclusion Mr.. Morgan declared that
the most reasonable means of preventing
railroad extortion was to improve the
waterways of the country and thus force
Il natural and healthy competition.
The Senate adjourned at 4;25 p. M, after
an executive session of five minutes
duration.
