FORTUNE FROM A HALF-AcRE.
Yakama Grower Will Get $1,000 for
His Pear Crop.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Sept. r.
All records have been smashed and
all previous fruit stories have been
made to look like the proverbial 80
coppers and by the same pears of j.
II. Forman of Parker bottom.
Forman, after considering for some
time, and when on the verge Of SELL
ing the pears for $500, as stated in
the Herald, turned the proposition
down. on an estimate made by Jenne
Of Euclid, one of the best known fruit
men in the state. the pears will net
Forman $4,000 for half an acre, So
trees
One of the trees will bear so boxes,
the others average 40 boxes. Last
year Forman sold his pears at a net
profit of $4.25 box f. o. b. Toppenish.
This year he will easily average 81
box, and can. beyond a doubt, net
$4,000. H NJ. Gilbert of this city was
one of the men who strongly advised
Forman against taking the $500 Of
fered, telling him that his years were
worth fully twice as much, IL not
more, than the offer. Forman is con-
fident he can make the amount of the
JENNIE estimate, and in so doing will
smash all pear records of this country
or any other.

which the burro was laden, and while
arranging the contents for examina-
ton told a remarkable tale Of luck.
1t appears that he had been
wood peddler in town not very far
from this city, and while searching for
wood a few days ago on one of the
mountains where he was accustomed
to go for his supplies, he got lost in
section of country where he had
never gone before. While looking
around for some way to regain his
road, he stumbled and fell down into
a narrow arroyo and for a shor time
afterward was unable to move.
While lying there wondering how he
could get out and find his way back
to his burro he noticed piece of rock
protruding from the side of the ar
royo in which he lay. 1t looked tc
| him very much like some ore he had
! hauled for prospector some time
/ ago, and he crawled over to 1t anC
knocked it out finding that there wa!
an enormous quantity of it there
After extricating himself from the ar
royo he loaded the burro with tn
sacks of huge chunks of ore, whicl
the assayer found to be rich in Leaf
and silver ore.
The peon is jealousy guarding tn
location of the place.

DENATURED
ALCOHOL RULES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The de-
natured alcohol regulations which were
made necessary ~ the amendatory act
passed by the last congress will come
into effect tomorrow. The old regula-
tons were found to be unnecessarily
stringent at some points, and the new
regulations will liberalize materially
the governments method of handling
the denatured alcohol industry.
Under the new regulations, in add
ton to denaturing warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing
warehouses may be constructed at
such points as business interests may
require and alcohol may be transfer
red from denaturing warehouses by
means of tanks or tank cars to con-
sumers.
Manufacturers using completely de-
natured alcohol are not required to
swear to an application for permit.
One of the most important features
of the new regulations Is that relating
to the construction and operation Of In
, to the construction and operation OF
| industrial or farm distiileries, which
may produce alcohol from anything
that contains fermentable matter. In
dustrial distilleries are divided into two
classes. In the first class are placed
distilleries of a surveyed capacity OF
! 80 proof gallons. Dlstilleries of the
second class are those that produce
more than SO gallons and less than 100
gallons of distilled spirits daily.
Manufacturers using specially dena-
tured alcohol are under the new regu-
lations relieved from keeping record
of the goods in the manufacture o.
which denatured alcohol is used.

FRUIT GROWERS TO ORGANIZE
Efforts to Form an Association
Are Being Made.

Steps are being taken by those in
terested in fruit growing. to organize
an association which will be for the
best interests of the growers of this
community. II is proposed to in
crest the merchants of the city in the
proposition also. BY thoroughly or
ganizing, 1t is claimed. a much bet
ter price may be gotten for the fruit
when ready for sale, and, at the same
time, desire tol better grade by
the growers, will be stimulated,
There are, 1t is said, fully 800 grow
ers in the Spokane valley and in the
vicinity of Occur d'Alene who would
be benefited by the pooling OF their
products. should this organization be
permanently effcted. 1t is believed
they could in a measure dictate the
price of their fruit.
Considerable enthusiasm is display
cd along this line. William Buck
ley, the local fruit inspector, is push
ing the proposition. which means il
will be success. 1t is claimed with
the new railroads centering in CoeuI
dA'lene, that IL will become a promi-
nent fruit shipping point to the
Occur d'Alenes, Montana and other
districts. II is thought fruit nc
longer need be shipped to Spokane but
may go direct to its destination.
This will demand such an organiza,
tion.

PHILIPPINE CONGRESS

Manila. Oct l4-Great interest
is shown in the 6rst PHILIPPINE cong
ress which will take place this week,
and the arrival of Secretary Taft,
which comes at an opportune time In
the Inauguration of the Philippine
home rule. Already the contending
political factions are showing great
activity and at the caucus recently
held the first brush occurred over a
motion to have the assembly proceed
ings opened with prayer. This was
defeated by one vote, ON the broad
ground that church and state shloud
be kept distinct.
The caucus was attended by 3s
delegates. The position of the as
sembly on questions relating to the
political future OF the Philippines
Is expected to be determined by the
opinoin expressed by Secretary Taft in
his address opening the session.
This is the view held by Filipinos as
we'll as Americans. The latter are
generally IN favor Of specific pro.
nouncement on Philippine policy.
The course Of legislative action will
depend mainly on the result of the
tlRht of the Gomez radicals for the
continuance of the national party.
The nationalist, when united, eG
ercise controlling influence, but their
internal divisions give the progres
sive independents the balance OF
power. 1t is not likely that part
spirit will play much part In the as
sembly's affairs, owing to personal
difference within the parties.
