WANTS OUR
APPLES IN BULK
KLEIN FRUIT COMPANY, OF CAL

NEXT FALL FOR MANY CAR
LOADS OF UNPACKED APPLES.

C. A. Howard, representing the
Klein Fruit company, of Los An
geles, California, was in the city yes
terday, and was in consultation with
the officers of the Wenatchee Canning
company regarding the securing Of a
large quantity of bulk apples. This
company is one of the largest fruit
distributing concerns in California
and imports hundreds of carloads ev-
cry year. The fruit handled by this
concern is all in bulk. 1t is shipped
in the regulation fruit boxes but is
not picked. The company does the
packing after the apples are received
in California. This firm uses a spe-
cial pack, something not used by
any other organization, and for that
reason all the fruit that is shipped
them goes in bulk.
Mr.. Howard was especially pleased
by the fruit that he saw here. He
is a great lover of the Jonathan APP
ple. Most of this variety that the
firm has used in the past has come
from Colorado, but Mr.. Howard says
that this valley has the world beaten
for the standard varieties. He wants
a great many of Wenatchee Jona-
thans and Black Bens, though he will
start on the summer fruit. The can

DIAL.
Especial to the WORLDLY

Especial to the WORLDLY
Seattle, Dec. 5-Fear is expressed
here that NJ. J. Gordon may make an
other attempt to take his life when
he learns that all notes of his orig
inal correspondence were transcribed
for the committee from the Great
Northern offices in Spokane. Cor
don made one effort at suicide by
lasphyxiation at the Butler hotel here
some three weeks ago when confront
ed with the fact that memoranda
proving his 1uplicity had fallen into
the hands of Great Northern officials
and members of the supreme court.
Every effort was made then to pre-
vent particulars of his attempt on his
life becoming public. Gordon, while
Spokane attorney for the Great
Northern, wrote a decision favorable
to that company, sent it to the gen.
eral offices of the Great Northern in
| ST. Paul for approval, and then trans
mitted it to Judge Root. who had 1t
| adopted by the supreme court.
! An effort will be made by the COM
mittee to secure a statement from
! Tony Richardson at Soap Lake, re-
| ;garding the sensational allegation
| that E. B. Palmer of Seattle, Judge
Roots law partner, offered to secure
for him, for cash consideration, a
favorable decision from the supreme
court, of which Judge Root was then
a member, in suit to which Rich
ardson was one of the parties, and
which was heard before Judge Martin
of Chelan county.
1t developed here today that Palm
err has been in Soap Lake since the
Root investigation started and spent
a day with Tony Richardson, with
whom he enjoys close personal rela-
lions. This circumstance is accepted
as accounting for the refusal OF
Richardson to talk about Palmer's
alleged offer to exert personal In
huence on the supreme court If Rich
ardson would give him $4,000.

The governor says he decided upon

Chadwick, as judge-elect, will be
able to participate in writing the de-

SPOKANE CONGRESSMAN HAS
GONE ON RECORD AGAINST
JOE CANNON IN THE SPEAKER
SHIP QUESTION.

Congressman-elect Miles PoindeX-
ter, who made an ante-election
pledge to vote against the reelection
of Speaker Joseph Cannon of the
house, has come out openly in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Cannon and with a dec
1aration that he will vote for Con-
gresham Theodore Burton of Ohio,
if the latter will enter the race.
In letter sent to Golfers Week
ly, which is requesting the different
congressman to express their OpiG-
ions in regard to the speakership,
Judge Poindexter says in part:
81 am decidedly opposed to the re-
election of Mr.. Cannon, who has put
himself on record officially as mem
Der of that faction which has been
opposed generally to the attitude and
policies of the present administers
ton l apprehend from his general
course of conduct that Mr.. Cannon
does not look favorably on govern
ment irrigation, which we, in this
section, regard as the greatest event
in the course of our material devel-
opment.
There has grown up during this
term of congress, throughout the
country a feeling that certain ali
of dictatorship and intimidation has
characterized the lower house OF
congress. and if this is persisted in il
will undoubted encourage the con-
ditions OF general unrest and may
lead to the defeat of the republican
party.

TWO NEW BUS
mess BLOCKS
GEORGE ELLIS PLANNING ON
TWO NEW BUSINESS BLOCKS,
AND ALSO NUMBER OF COT
TAGES FOR RENTAL PUR-
POSES.

Geo. H. Ellis Informed a World
reporter this morning that the Ellis
Forde company owns 37h foot lot
on Mission street just west of the
store building, and that Mrs. Ellis
owns the 50-foot lot on Mission st.
known as the old Proctor property,
and that business buildings will be
erected on these lots just as soon as
tenants can be found for them. Mr.
Ellis stated that he had one tenant
in prospect, and that just as soon as
leases can be secured for the build
ings that they will be built. These
buildings will be of a good charac-
ter and a credit to the street.
Mr.. Ellis is building two cottages
for rental purposes on Douglas
street, and he expects in the spring
to build more cottages of the same
character to rent. 1t is likely that
five or six will be put up just as soon
as spring opens and if Mr.. Ellis finds
that there is no trouble finding ten
ants for these he will erect a num-
Der more.
Yesterday the World had a news
STORY of the fact that Conrad Rose
had made arrangements to build
mine new cottages, and now the an
|nouncement is made that Mr.. Ellis
is going also to assist in supplying
the demand for cottages in the city
Wenatchee has been badly handi-
capped in this respect in the past
and the men who are putting in their
money to remedy this condition
should be encouraged. The houses
to be built By Mr.. Ellis will be of
five or six rooms, plumbed and with
bath.
