Ysquis Attack Toledo.

Al Hermoslllo, Sunday, THE OASIS editor was informed by reli- able gentlemen who had come in from the Yaqui river region near Toledo, the seat of operation by the Yaqui River Smelling & Refn- ing Company, that on the evening of the Dist ult. a band of twelve Yaquis made a descent upon the camp, killing a family of four per- sons. and wounding two others.
 The attack occurred between nine and ten o'clock, after every body had retired for the night. The buildings at the camp, with one or two exceptions, are close about the smelter. One of the exceptions, an isolated, adobe dwelling, stands about one hundred yards westward from the office and other buildings that stand upon that side of the reduction works. The house was occupied by Luis R. Martinez and family, consisting of his wife and two small children, and a brother of MT. Martinez. They had gone to sleep on cots, outside of the house, one of the children sleeping with its mother, the other with its father. Gathering around the cots the murderous Indians fired upon their sleeping victims, killing both men instantly and wounding the woman. Siezing the child in the cot with her the devoted mother sprang for the door of the house hoping to seek safety inside. Be, fore she could reach the door another volley killed both her and the child in her arms. Strange to relate, the other child, lying beside its murdered father, escaped unhurt and was not even awakened by the volleys fired right over it.
 Aroused by the firing Mir. J. Barney, the assistant.general man. ager of the company, who was in  charge of the camp, calling to his aid several employees and other persons, who went out armed, rushed out in the darkness, with out waiting to dress but going out in their night clothing; and ad- vanced toward the house attacked, firing as they went. Retreating the Yaquis returned the fire; and wounded two of the defenders of the place, Mauricio J. Cons of San Antonio de la Huerta, who was shot through the lungs and in the leg; and a Pima Indian, whose name was not learned, shot in the wrist and in the stomach. Both men were wounded dangerously, l but at was thought their injuries would not prove fatal.
 It is believed that the object of the attack was to loot the store, the Yaquis thinking that those at the store would seek safety in flight, giving them a free hand but the vigorous defence put up by MT Barney, and three or four with i him, was more than they expected i

WHAT THE GREAT WASHINGTON
CROP WILL MEAN.
YAKIMA COUNTY IS WELL
TO the HEAD OF THE GAME
How the Packers and Pickers VIII
Handle the Crop This Season,
and Prices.

SPOKANE, Sept. Apple pick
ing the time OF their lives. The to-
tai acreage is near the 100000 mark
and the trees are heavily laden and
wages bigger than ever before in
the history of the industry. The
crop is estimated by growers and in
spectors to be worth from $1,000
600 to $10,00O,000 this season, and
of this more than S5,000,000 will
be paid for fruit packed for export.
The bulk of the crop is made up of
Spitzenberg, Newtown Pippins, Wine
sap, Jonathan and other winter var
ieties, which can be shipped any
where, the chief districts being the
Yakima, Wenatchee, Spokane and
Prosser valleys in the order named.
Much of this fruit will be sent to
Atlantic coast markets, and England
France, Germany, Australia and the
Orient. New York, Boston and Chi
cage are the chief distributing points
east of the Rocky mountains and
from these the jobbers and dealers
in various parts of the west, east
and south are supplied. The big red
apple is the favorite of Americans
and Australians, while the English
men are fond OF the various varieties
of pippins, which also have reputa-
tions in Denmark and Sweden and
other parts of Europe.
Stated commercially, the crop in
Washington this year is a matter Of
100000 boxes. each containing so
pounds of apples. The fruit was
grown in 81 counties, those having
more than $4,000 trees being Yaki-
ma, 1,24S,00o Chelan, 100000;
Spokane, 311,160, Pierce, 100000;
Whitman, 2o3,000; Cowlitz, 1885,
000; Kinsap, $4,000 Whatcom,
10000; Columbia, 10000, and
Thurston. $4,000. The crop would
fill S,933 cars of 10000 pounds each,
or make $50 trains of SO cars each
Laid end TO end the boxes, 5 inches
in length and . inches high. would
stretch 142o miles, and if piled up
they would make a shaft 947 miles
