A DELUSION DISPELLED

The Youths Companion, one of the
best and most widely circulated jour
nails in the United States. took occa-
sion in recent issue to editorially
dispel the delusion that the Eastern
apple issupreme in eastern and Euro
pean markets. It says:
"Apples from Oregon. Washington,
Idaho and British Columbia have al
ready captured the greater part Of
what is known as the Clancy trade"
Of the Atlantic coast cities, and the
supply is increasing at a wonderful
rate. Moreover. Northwestern fruits
are rapidly gaining the ascendency in
England, the Continent and Australia.
''The rapid development OF the
truit-growing industry in this region
is due to the great fertility Of the soil,
the intelligence and energy of the
western farmers, and the cooperative
organizations of growers. Poor fruit
has been discouraged and almost
eliminated. Packing is in boxes,
with every apple wrapped separately,
and warranted to be perfect. The
number of apples which q box con-
tains is printed plainly on the out
side, and there is absolutely no idea
coning'.
These methods have enabled the
Western growers to realize profit.
on apples and pears, Of one hundred
to one thousand dollars An acre; on
berries, from four hundred to SIX hum
dred dollars an acre, and on other
things even more. One especially
skilful grower Of tomatoes received
ave thousand dollars from single
acre.
ssThe fruit pack Of the region this
year will be the largest in its history
five times as great as in 1905.
Canning associations have been formed
and canneries built to take CARE Of
the surplus. They have been success
full from the start. One cannery paid
for itself in : week.

FIGHT WAS A FOOT RACE.
Mill Between Burns and o'Brien
Farce-Rets Declared OFF.

Los Angeles. May s.Tommy Burns
of Los Angeles, won the heavyweight
championship of the world from Phil
adelphia Jack" O'Brien last night after
twenty rounds of fighting that was for
the most part foot race. iO'Brien
ran away from Burns from the first
round to the finish and only occasion
ally was the latter able to oyertake
him. O'Brien invariably clinched with
Burns and held on until the referee
pried them apart The crowd hooted
and jeered O'Brien as he raced about
the ring. But very few blows of any
vigor were landed by either man and
neither suffered any apparent damage.
Both of O'Brien's eyes were damaged
and his lips cut open, but Burns had
scarcely scratch.
After the fight last night, no ex-
planation could be, secured for calling
off the bets on the fight. It is rumored,
that there was wrangle over the size
of the purse which did not come up
to expectation, and resulted in the bets
being declared off.
