PREACHER BELIEVES
N RACING At FAIRS
Says Hrses Seem to Enjoy It and
that Men Will Bet on
Anything.

BLOOMINGTON. Ind. Aug. l3.-The
Rev. ". r. Williams, a weII-known
minister OF This city. believes in horse
racing He believes that the horses
like IT, and he says il is good for them.
Recently there was much talk Of re-
vlvins the Monroe County Fair AssO-
citation. There are some. however. who
have been throwing cold water on the
movement because they recall the days
of racing a few years ago and pool
selling. To these the Rev. Mr.. Williams
makes a public statement. in which he
says.
.'I want TO second the efforts to have
a county fair. I remember well when
Il few preachers and others of their
notion held an Indignation meeting IN
the court house and killed the fair.
Their plea was that horse-racing was
cruelty 20 horses. and that men gam
bled on hoTse-raCing. Horses enjoy rae
ing and seldom IS one known 10 balE or
refuse to 30. They are cared for better
ana live longer than work horses.
Gamblers VIII bet on anything / no
tCe these same preachers and their
helpers attend all the football games, a
game more cruel 10 men and I'm which
more men are crippled and killed than
are horses in the racing game Betting
is as prominent Il feature in football
rs I'm racing a fair can be run as hon
Orably as any public enterprise"

Fruit Men Invited to Participate in Kittitas

At meeting OF the Kittitas Poultry
Association Saturday afternoon it wa
agreed to invite the fruit men OF the
county to participate in the show by
making an exhibit of their fruit, the
same to be adjudged and awarded cards
or ribbons by competent authority, and
it is truly hoped that they will accept
and start in now to prepare fruit for
this display. 1t will be an easy matter
to arrange as fine display OF apples as
were ever placed on exhibition in the
state of Washington and no one can
estimate the value of such an exhibit

we predict an excellent display, such
as will open the eyes of even our own

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE AND BIG RED
Appes-A Bumper Crop to Supply the
Markets of London, liverpool, Orient and
The Whole of the Northwest Territory as
Well as New York Chicago and St. Louis.

NORTH YAKIMA, Oct. 22.--Far ex.
ceedng the expectations OF the com
mission men and growers is the demand
for winter apples Of the Yakima valley.
BY reason of the tremendous crop in
the middle and eastern middle states
it was believed that there would be a
great slump in the market here, but
such has not proved the case.
At the big warehouse of the horti.
cultural union, composed OF fruit rails
ers in the valley, there was long line
of wagons yesterday from which apples
we're being unloaded, while freight cars
were being filled for shipment to the
eastern states.
MIR. Sampson, the manager, said that
the demand was SO great that the
union was shipping out the product
about as fast as it arrived from the
orchards. Although the season has
Just opened carload shipments have
been made by the union as far east as
New York. There has also been a
lively demand from the Dakotas. 1t
was expected that less business would
be done with these states than form
srly on account of the great crop in its
neighboring states. AS in former years
Montana continues to offer an excellent
market for the Yakima winter apple.
Mr.. Sampson estimates that the
winter apple crop in the Yakima val.
ley this year will exceed that of last
year by probably 80 per cent-the
greatest crop in the history of the
district.
Considering the apple market all
over the country and the immense
YIELD in this district the market is
opening in a most satisfactory manner.
The prices are considerably lower than
last year, but last season was record
breaker for high prices. On account
of the extra yield this year it is be-
lieved the orchardists will fare as well
financially as last.
For export Spitzenbergs and Yellow
Ne wtowns, the growers are receiving
81 80 a box; Rome Beauties, 20 to S.
cents box: Wagners, 10 to s. cents
Winesaps, 81 to $50; Ben Davis, sc
cents; Lawyer, 50 cents; Red Cheeks, 81
cents.
