On the subject of markets. the com
missioner says:
IAN effort was made to secure de-
tailed reports of fruit shipments to the

to the lack Of service in men employed
the work could not be accomplished, ex-
cepting in Seattle, where support was
literally extended.
This office is in possession of extern
sive detailed reports Of the fruit traffic
in Seattle, but only a limited portion of
them will be used at this time. Inspect
or J. G. Hopkins and Deputy Inspector
w. C. Pendleton deserve special mention
for their energetic and painstaking eff
forts in the work they have accom-
plshed."

ries, sending 65,875 crates. Snohomish

States Acreage in Orchards.

An Olympia report says there are In
the state of Washington 86,607 acres or
land devoted to ommercial orchards. or
this 1888 acres have been added since
the spring Of 1906. The horticultural
industry is increasing at tremendous
rate. All this is shown by the reporf
of r. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner, for the year ending
March 81, 1907, just filed with the gov
ernor.
For the first time in the history of
the state, a serious effort has been
made to collect accurate statistics re-
garding the horticultural industry
Commissioner Huntley, mas been handi-
capped through failure on the part of
some of the deputy commissioners and
county inspectors who, under the
law, are appointed not by the state
horticultural department, but by the
commissioners in the various counties
Most significant of all the tables en-
braced in his report is one which shows
the number of fruit trees comprised in
orchards at the beginning of the year
1906. This shows that at that time the
orchards of the state contained 3,772,1O5
apple trees, s49,299 plum and rrune
trees, 746,956 peach trees, 50O,633 pear
trees, 243,459 cherry trees, 3O,689 april
cot trees, 1852 English walnut trees,
1915 almond trees and 6,9S8 ounce
trees.

report shows the location of the three

Will Ignore the Pau1hamus Bill.

1t is reported the Seattle Produce
association, the organization of COM
mission men doing business on Western
avenue as result of a number OF
meetings, have practically decided to
ignore and if necessary, to fight In the
courts the provision OF the measure
passed at the last session of the state
legislature. generally known as the Paul
hamus bill introduced by Senator Paul
hamus. 1t provides Cnat in order to
conduct a commission business In the
state a person must take out an annual
license and file $4,000 bond with the
secretary of state and must make an
itemized statement to shippers within
forty eight hours after receiving a con-
signment of produce. verbal agree
ment has been entered into by practl-
cally every commission man on the
street promising to ignore every pro-
vision of the bill and collectively to
fight all attempts made to enforce It,
The commission men are unanimous in
their opposition to the law and eX-
press practically the same views they
did when the bill was in the legislature.
At that time those doing business IN
Seattle made a stubborn fight against
the passage of the measure. They were
represented by a committee consisting
of Secretary c. r. Frasch, c. W. Cham
berlain, Frank Wheeler, Fl. j. Mignerey,
appointed by the association to go to
Olympia to oppose the bill or have 1t
amended. In spite of this opposition
the bill was put through without any
amendment and will go into effect on
June IL next.
In speaking of the agreement entered
into to oppose the enforcement OF the
law, Western avenue commission man
said that the provisions would be bit
terly opposed by the street. He said:
I'VE have fought the measure from the
very first and now hold the same view
regarding it that we always have held
We have. after careful consideration, de-
cided that we will not take out the
required licenses nor file a $4,000 BOND
and make the report TO shippers WITHIN
forty-eight hours after the receipt or
consignments. We cannot afford TO 90
these things and do a commission busl-
ness. The fees are outrageous. and the
extra clerks that would be required
would mean that we could not do bust
ness on a 10 per cent basis.

tempts that may be made to enforce the
law, and will gladly take a test case
into the courts"
Another commission man stated the
other evening that he considered the law
unconstitutional and that the fight
would be made along that line. Il do
not believe" said he, 'tnat the state has
any right to compel firm which is do
ing and has done = straight legitimate
business for years to take out a license
or comply with the other provisions of
the law. I believe that the law is class
legislation and that the commission men
should have the privilege of conducting
their business with the same freedom as
any storekeeper.
eff the law is enforced, it means that
the commission men WILL cease to do
commission business and will buy and
sell direct from the producer"

regarding orchards it must be under
stood that the table exhibits the condi-
ton in 1906 prior to the addition of the
1888 new acres planted in the state
since the spring Of 1905.
In small fruits the commissioner
found it impossible to gather complete
data. Under this head he says:
"It was not possible to secure close
figures on the small fruit acreage for
the whole state, and, therefore, only
Pierce and Snohomish counties are CIV
en-. In these counties small fruits are
most extensively cultivated.

Tariff Reduction by Treaty.

The goods imported from Germany
are virtually under the new agree
ment allowed to enter at the value
certified by the German chambers Of
commerce. Thus the duty on German
goods is less than that exacted upon
the products of other countries. which
are subject to an ad valorem rate of
duty because the lower the value at
which imports are appraised the less
the duty Until we allow France,
England and other countries the same
favor it can hardly be called a square

and the standpatters object to this
agreement with Germany because it
thus reduces the rate of duty in this

AN IDOL DESTROYER IN INDIA.
Hindu Convert Shows That He Has
No Fear Of Images.

The days when men and women
bow down to images of wood and
stone are numbered. The progress of
civilization cannot fail to drive out
ignorant superstitions, but only Christ
can bring in the true light of life.
Many, even those who refuse to sur
render to Jesus Christ, are becoming
enemies of idolatry Rev. VIM. Waller,
a missionary of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in the Central provinces
of India, writes of a Hindu living in
Kampti who has earned the name of
Idol Destroyer
For years a hideous object, much
bedaubed with red paint, was seated
in a large niche in the wall of his
house; and every day offerings were
made and prayers were said before It,
This idol (Mahdeo) was brought from
a venerable temple on the banks Of
the sacred Gauges, over a thousand
miles away, and the villagers counted
the possessors of it very fortunate.
But Christian preachers came and told
of Him who seeks to be worshiped in
spirit and in truth. Then this Hindu
saw his idol in new light, and so
repulsive did it appear that he took
up the helpless image and flung it into
the river. The people expected to see
the man die for such a sacrilege 1t
was supreme moment when with a
most natural splash Mahdeo went
down to the bottom and the waters
closed over it. Surely a bolt from the
blue would strike the audacious per-
petrator of such a deed, But he is
very much alive to-day, prosperous
and happy
Not long ago he was challenged to
face another idol. To show his con
tempt he spat upon it, and trampled
upon it with his boots-a necessary
precaution for himself. but q most in
tolerable insult to the idol, says DR..
Delavan Pierson, in Record OF Chris
tian Work. 1t is a significant sign of
the times that the people did not set
upon him. On the contrary, in a VII
lage not far off, the villagers are
much incensed at the apathy and in
difference Of the village idol, from
whom they received no help during a
recent outbreak of sickness. Too
much afraid to do anything them
selves, they have appealed to this
destroyer of idols" to come and cast
the village idol away.

she bowed, apparently forgetful
that one of her hands yet remained

They passed up the staircase side
by side, exchanging no further speech.
Once she glanced furtively at his face,
but its very calmness kept the words
upon her lips unuttered. At the door
they encountered Mrs. Guffy, her hon
est eyes red from weeping.
This is Miss ellis, Mrs. Gunfy," ex-
planned Brant. She wishes to see Mr..
Hampton il it is possible"
Sure an she can tibet. He's been

She held the door aiar, but Nadia
paused, glancing back at her motion
less companion, CLINT of unshed tears
showing for the first time in her eyes.
Are you not coming also?"
NO, Miss Nadia. 1t is best for me
to remain without, but my heart goes
with you"
Then the door closed between them.
