DON'T LUCK FOR WAR
So STATES JAPAN'S new AM
BASSADOR To U. 5.
Takahira Says It Would Be the Most
Inhuman Event in Worlds History
and Too heliish to Be Thought or
All Newspaper Taik-He HAS
Been Away TWO Years.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Declaring that
war between the United States anu
Japan would be the most "inhuman
event in the worlds history" and was
TOO hellish" to be thought of, Baron
Kogoro Takahira, the new Japanese
ambassador to Washington, said sun
day, upon landing in New York from
the steamer Etruria, that the Japanese
knew absolutely nothing of break in
the cordial relations which have been
historic between the two nations. Talk
of war, Baron Takahira declared with
much emphasis, was utterly unintel-
ligible to him, unless, as some one had
suggested, it was spread broadcast to
serve the commercial ends OF some
newspapers. The new ambassador
said there might be some matters pend
ing in Washington which would re
quire his attention, but they were not
serious. AS to the cruise of the Amer
lean fleet to the Pacific ocean, he re
garded it purely as a naval maneuveI
on a grand scale, designed to show to
the world at large that America has a
wonderful naval power which can be
dispatched anywhere at a moments
notice lin support of a Legitimate
cause, which always is at the bottom
of American diplomacy" Baron Taxa
hira will leave for Washington tomor
row morning at IL o'clock to present
his credentials to President Roosevelt
He is a warm personal friend of Mr.
Roosevelt, and is looking forward t
his meeting with the chief executive
with great deal of pleasure. The
baron is returning to the American
capital after an absence of two years
spent in Rome as ambassador to Italy
The baron left Washington as ministe
and was subsequently elevated to thu
rank of ambassador. He was one o
the Japanese ENJOYS at the Portsmouth
peace conference.

New Foot Rules.

Important changes in the rule gov
erning the forward pass play, which
prove of advantage to teams, and other
football legislation, were made by the
intercollegiate football rules commit
tee, which concluded its session in New
York recently
The new rule on the play of the
forward pass covers the illegal touch
ing of the ball. When Illegally touch
ed the side making the illegal play
loses the ball to its opponents on the
According to the new rule only the
man of the passer's side who first legal
ly touched the ball may hereafter
take it until it has been touched by an
opponent. If the forward is legally
touched and then free and is then
touched by another player of the pass
er's side, the ball goes to the oppo-
nents at the spot where touched.
The committee considered the ques-
ton of defensive tactics in connection
with the forward pass and it was de-
cided that while the forward pass is
in the air, the players of the defensive
side may not use their hands or arms
on their opponents except to push
them out of the way to get at the ball
In order to eliminate tackling it is pro.
vided that the players of the side
making the forward pass, who are elig
IDLE to receive the pass, may use their
hands and arms just the same way
that players do down under the kick
Another rule was passed making the
intermission between the halves of the
game Is minutes. A delay of two min
utes beyond that time gives the bal
to the field, which may then place the
ball on the 3O-yard line of the offend
ing eleven.
Another rule adopted provides tina
all forfeited games hereafter are t.
score as one to nothing.
The committee passed a rule that al
penalties, except in the case of a maj
disqualified, may be declined by the OF
Tending side
In the future the field judge will &C
as timer instead of the linesman.

FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Much Good and Profit at Wenatchee
Wash.


The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
two years ago with about 800 stock
holders and was capitalized at $4,000.
The object of the association is to Sc
cure better prices for fruit and to ena-
BILE the fruit growers to dispose of
their fruit though medium of their
own, and not through the hands of
wholesale buyers, who buy only what
they care to handle, the amount
bought by them being regulated too
much by the supply and demand of
their own trade. The fruit growers
now bring their fruit in and dispose
of it to the association, who search for
a market, and after disposing of it
charge 10 per cent for selling.
During the past season the prices
for the handling of fruit have been
as follows: Five cents a box for
peaches and packages of like size, Z
cents a box for apples and packages
of similar size.
Three hundred cars OF fruit have
been handled, approximating $1,000 a
car, making the total amount handled
by the association valued at about
$500, 900 for the year 1907.
One feature of the business of the
past year was the pig apple pool held
in September. One hundred and one
cars of apples were held by the as
ISOLATION, and bids were advertised fol-
in all parts of the United States.
New York, Pittsburg, New Orleans
Washington, d. c., Chicago and Other
large cities throughout the east anC
middle west were apprised of the fac
and bids came in from every direc
ton.
When the bids were opened it was
found that the best price offered fol
apples came from the east and south
and the 101 carloads were sold a
prices far beyond the expectation o
the leaders of the pool. The apples
sold for an average of $1,000 car an'
netted large sums to the fruit growers
The fruit was all delivered and thu
money paid before the money strin
gency came on.
An Inspection OF lne DOOhS SHOW
that the largest proceeds from thi
years work of the association to an,
one individual was William Turner
who lives just about a mile and hal
from Wenatchee.
Mr.. Turner had IS acres of six yea
old orchard and 10 acres of five yea
old trees.
The books show that he shippe
S779 boxes of apples and received 70
them $1S,544S0. Ninety-three boxe
were sold for $162.55 % boxes sol
for s4S.7O; 1000 boxes of light colore
apples sold for $1,000; 200 boxes ar
still held by the association for sale.

wasteful exploitation of timber re-
sources and to bring the care and cut
ting of timber more effectually under
government control.

throw a member out of its normal posi-

HOW GENERAL GRANT
STARTED TO SMOKING

Detroit, Mich, Nov Cen. Fred
d. Grant told some friends here the
history of the cigar that initiated his
father, Gen. U. s. Grant, into the
smoking habit 1t was at the battle
of Fort Donelson.
My father" he said, was in con-
ference with Admiral Foote on the
Admirals flagship, and had just ac-
cepted cigar from him when word
came to him that the left flank of
the Union forces was being repulsed
Hurrying ashore and galloping on a
fleet hore to the battle-ground, he
succeeded in rallying his forces so
completely that chaos was turned i'm
to victory, Gen. Buckner had to COM
ply with my fathers demand for
unconditional surrender
'"The newspapers took up and re-
lated how father rushed from the
warship to the battlefield without
taking Foote's cigar from his mouth,
and the dispatches from the front
told how father had come on to the
battlefield cool and collected and
peacefully smoking long, black ci-
gar
People who read the story began
sending congratulations and presents
of cigars. Tens of thousands of ci-
gars came, and my father smoked
many of them. 1t made a confirmed
smoker of him. But he did not smoke
as many cigars as people imagined
he did. Sometimes one cigar, that
he would frequently relight. would
last him from breakfast to luncheon.
1t was the fact that he almost con-
stantly held a cigar between his
fingers that made people describe him
as great smoker"
