There has been all kinds of rumors
as to the price Mike Koran is to get
for his prize-winning car. Besides
the $500 in cash prizes, it is said
that he has been offered $40 per box
for the entire carload. There are
othere rumors that he has been offer
ed SIS per box straight through for
the apples Many boxes of Wenat-
chez fruit sold at Spokane for $40
per box, and all the growers from
here who exhibited are away to the
good financially.
Yesterday morning the parade
formed at the Chamber of Commerce
building in Spokane. The Cashmere
band led the procession and the We
natchee band was in the rear. The
parade was about two blocks long.
There were a number of women in
line and it was an imposing sight.
After marching through several of the
principal streets the line of march
was taken to the apple show building.
The sympathy of the people of Spo-
kane seemed to be with the Wenat-
chez delegation, AS the people along
the streets and at the main building
cheered the delegation. ''Wenatchee!
Wenatchee," was heard all over the
city Yesterday. The red apple grow
ers did not hide their light under a
bushel while in the Falls City.
The awards were not made until
about noon, and then only a partial
list of the winners were announced.
When it was seen that Wenatchee was
the whole show the big crowd in the
display room commenced to cheer,
and Wenatchee growers were given a
great ovation for time.
There was promise of trouble for
few minutes. After the awards were
announced one of the scorers pinned
red ribbon on the exhibit of Mr.. Ho-
ran. w. T. Clark and G. r. Fisher
protested to the man that he was
making a mistake, but he would not
heed him. Yakima had the blue rib
bon on the Gilbert exhibit, and the
Yakima delegation was cheering and
making gay. Messrs. Clark and Fish
er went to the judges Office and asked
to see the score card on this exhibit.
1t plainly showed that Wenatchee
was the winner, and the judges were
then told of the pinning of the red
ribbon on the Wenatchee exhibit.
The judges hurriedly corrected the
error and then joy reigned; but 1t
was an uncomfortable five minutes,
however.
The band boys did very effective adj
vertising for the city. Though the
Apple show band, consisting of fifty
five members, was much larger, yet,
considering that the local. band num-
bered but twenty-five members, it
compared very favorably with the big
one. A concert was given last night
at the Armory, and the local band
had the whole stage all evening, and
several of the pieces were encored so
that they had to be repeated. The
band was certainly hit. Yakima
had only juvenile band-but Yaki-
ma was not in it in any respect.
Drum Major Geo. Hauber of Pc
shastin led the parade and was gaily
decorated with apples.
The visitors were assisted by the
chamber of commerce in finding suit
able rooms, and at the luncheon of
the Washington State Horticultural
association in the Masonic temple,
many of the Wenatchee visitors were
present. Following the luncheon
they were escorted about the hall,
and shortly after they went to the
apple show grounds, where the after
noon program was put on, including
among other features, an address of
welcome to Wenatchee by Gordon c.
Corbaley, president of the 10000
club, and responded to by NJ. o. Tib-
bits of Cashmere for the Wenatchee
Valley.
