LOW RATES TO A. Y. P. FAIR
Fifty Dollar Round Trip Rate From Mis-
souri, River Points to Seattle

Special rates will be made for the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition by the
transcontinental railroads from the east
to the Pacific Northwest. Although
the fair will be held in Seattle, the
same low round trip rates will be made
to Portland. The Transcontinental
Passenger Association has decided to
grant $50 round trip rate to Portland
Seattle and Tacoma all next summer
on account OF the 1909 exposition.
The low round trip rate will apply
from Missouri river points and St. Paul
and Minneapolis. 1t will be in effect
from May Is to September 80, next
year, and the final return limit for the
tickets will be October 81, 1909. The
rate is such that it is bound to prove a
strong incentive to eastern people to
make the trip to the Pacific Northwest
next year.
Rates to the Pacific Northwest on
account of the exposition from Chicago
and other eastern points have not yet
been decided, but will be fixed within
short time by the Western Passenger
Association.
The rate just granted is not quite
so low as was made for the Lewis and
Clark fair, when tariff of $45 for the
round-trip from Missouri river points
was granted by the railways.

from North Yakima two weeks ago with
a load of Beure d'Anjou pears, arrived
in New York Monday with its cargo
reported in good condition. The ship
ment was in the nature of an expert
ment to test the new car, and the car
was not re-iced at all during the IA
days trip. Before leaving North Yak
ina it was preceded and iced. When
it reached Chicago three-fourths of the

re-ice seven times between here and

FARMERS CARRY
SAN JOSE SCALE

A. Woodward Stephens, orchard in
spector for the State department. of
agriculture in this section, is authority
for the statement that the farmers are
careless in the matter of bringing trees
infested with the San Jose scale unto
their farms.
Last week Mr.. Stephens was inspect.
ing orchards in the Muncy hills-and,
while that section is not badly in
Tested with the scale, he found a num-
Der of places where young peach and
plum trees, badly infested with the
insect, had been brought from farms
at a distance or from town and plant
ed in an orchard which had previous
ly been free from this much dreaded
pest. In other places the owner had
brought grating wood of choice
variety from a distant orchard and
with it brought San Jose scale to in
fest his trees.
The State is carefully inspecting
nurseries and licensing only those
where proper care is taken to send out
stock that is free from the scale.
Mr. Stephens suggests that the farm
ers be very sure that the trees which
they intend to plant or the wood they
intend grating, no matter where it
comes from, be free from the scale
when they get it. 1t is "a difficult un-
dertaking to control the scale when it
gets into an orchard. 1t is much easier
to keep it out by care in planting only
such trees as are free from it,
