FRUIT DEMAND
QUITE STRONG
Slump in Prices Owing to Quality of
Fruit Offered-Peaches and
ApricOts Plentiful.


SPOKANE, Aug. 2.-The demand
for peaches, plums and apricots was
greater than the supply yesterday,
and the same was true of most
fruits. Red raspberries and black
berries were in fair quantity, and
watermelons were abundant. Cher
ries received from local growers
were of poor quality, which caused
a temporary drop in pHce, but the
quantity is now so limited that this
will not be permanent. Blackberries
from Milton, Ore, were also found to
be too soft for the fancy trade and
were sold at reduction. Some ex-
cellent blackberries were in stock,
however. Yesterday was one Of the
quietest days in the fruit market so
far this season.

On account of the rain yesterday
Ind the consequent delay in the dry

to arrange for an excursion a week

Mark Your "Rush" Letters.

The attention of the public is di-
rected to a regulation the neglect of
which delays instead of hastens the
delivery of aletter. Under a rule re-
Gently promulgated it is provided
that by afiixing 10 cents additional
in stamps on letter and writing the
words special delivery" on the en-,
velope the letter will be given special
delivery. But there is another and
older rule under which the depart
ment registers letter if it Is over
paid cents: 1t is stated that it
has frequently happened that a per-
son wishing to take advantage of the
special delivery rule has mailed his
letter without writing on it the
words special delivery" In that
case the letter is registered and thus
delayed.

DEFENDS THE
COMBINE
But Others Say Public Market is
Only Method Of Obtaining
Relief.

SEATTLE, Aug. 2.-J. B. Powles,
president of the J. B. Powles COM
pany, one of the leading commission
firms along Western avenue, has
come forward in defense of the al

tion to the Times, in which he as
serts that there has never been any
combine for the purpose of keeping
up prices, but that the Seattle Pro-
duce association was organized solely
for the purpose of regulating credits
and carriage.
Powles has all along elected to ap-
pear as spokesman for the Produce
association, an organization whose
existence was at one time denied by
the commission men. He says that
the adverse criticism against he
commission men that has sprea d
broadcast in the last few weeks is
uncalled for, and that the Seattle
chamber of commerce has been re-
quested by the association to investi-
gate the matter with the view of
clearing the commission men of t l.
accusation of combining to keep up
prices at the expense of the pro-
ducer and the consumer.

PULLMAN, Aug. IN. c. Gray,
mayor of Pullman has returned
from the Atlantic coast where he
went to receive shipment of
horses direct for England. The ship
they were on crossing the water was
delayed several days by fog. The
horses were loaded In an express
car at New York and brought direct
to Pullman.
They were on the ship and express
car fifteen days, but came through
in fine condition. Mr.. Gray declares
this is the longest continuous ship

In spsatirr of the horses Mr..
Gray said u want to encourage the
farmers to breed better horses, and
this importation is the first of its

new RAILROAD
SCHEME FINANCED
Reports from Reliable Sources Say Money
is Now Up for Wenatchee-Kiona
Electric Line

The World in an article recently
announced the fact that an incorpor-
alton had been formed for the pur-
pose of constructing an electric
railway between Wenatchee and
Kiona. Articles of incorporation
were filed some weeks ago. Later
advices from the Sound are to J-e
effct that the proposed railroad is
not only a possibility but probabili-
ty in the very near future. Informa-
ton secured from sources that can
be counted upon as reliable is to the
effect that the money is now up for
the construction Of the new road.
The recently organized company
contemplates the construction of
railroad to connect the three roads
which now cross the state, viz: the

NEW WHEAT HAULED

Quality Will Probably BE of the
Best This Year-Many Com
bineS Working.

WILSON CREEK, Aug 3.-The
first new wheat was hauled in to the
warehouses here Tuesday. Although
taken from the poorer parts of the
field it graded 81 pounds to the
bushel and indications are that the
average yield in this section and in
the vicinity of Krupp will be APP
proximately % bushels. Many COM
bines are working now and by the
middle of next week threshing will
be general all over this part of the

Milwaukee at Beverly, and the Nor
thern Pacific at Kiona. The presi-
dent of the new corporation is w.
r. Rust, the millionaire of Tacoma
and owner of the Tacoma smelter
He has holdings under the Hanford
irrigation project at Priest rapids
and will be actively identified with
the construction of the road Other
incorporators are H. X. Owens,
Manley B. Haynes and E. H. Guie.
The new road will pass through a
rich country and connect the two
great irrigation districts of the state
of shington-Wenatch and va
kima. The fact that the road will
connect two of the richest districts
in the state is in itself an assurance
of the construction of the project.

could easily wipe up the few cruisers
and old gunboats we have on the Pa
cific squadron. 1t is added that Guam,
Hawaii and Alaska would go with the
Philippines, and that the cities of the
Pacific Coast would be menaced by a
hostile fleet.
1T is said, moreover, that the fact
that the canal is not completed and
that we have neglected to fortify a
naval base in the Philippines at Subig
Bay, tempts Japan to hasten the trou-
BILE.
"Presuming this to be true-and it
probably is so far as the unprepared-
ness is concerned-that would be only
the first chapter of the story. What
would Japan do when our Atlantic
fleet got around and went up against
! their dozen battleships? Is there any
doubt that we would prosecute the war
until we had swept them from the
seas? No one doubts it. Japan must
know it, and Japan has a commerce
which meantime would be the prey to
our navy.
Japan is greatly mistaken if she
thinks that fighting the United States
would be anything like fighting Rus
STA The condition of the Russian fleet
is we'll shown by what was found on
captured by the Japanese. One of our
officers has reported to our Navy De-
partment on that incident. 1t seems
that the gun deck was loaded full of
coal; there were 900 men aboard with
no provisions for the most casual de-
cencies. The gun decks were as Shiny
as a pig pen and the place was all
horrible stencil. Such ship was
whipped before it went into action. The
American navy is very different prop
osition from the Russian navy.
'Of course, it may be necessary for
ence. Their victory over Russia has
no doubt given them an inflated idea of
their prowess. do not underestimate
their bravery and skill as fighters.
They are good fighters and we would
know we had been in a fight. But so
would they. 1t is to be hoped they viii
not have to learn by experience
'It is my personal belief that the
great danger is from agitation. T. do
not think the party in power in Japan
want trouble with us. 1t seems to me
unlikely that they would not see how
little they have to gain and how much
to lose. But the newspaper agitation
and the growing prejudice make the
situation grave. G. G."
