Apple Prices Not Satisfactory to Wenat-
chez Valley Growers

The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers Association met in Wenatchee last
Monday, says a dispatch in the daily
press, to discuss the bids which had
been made on the apples now held in
the pool of the association. There are
about 800 cars in the pool, amounting
to 100000 boxes, and bids have been
received for 10000 boxes, but the
prices offered fall considerably below
the figures placed upon them by the
growers who entered the pool.
The association has been powerless
to dispose of any of the apples on this
account, and at the meeting held this
afternoon it was decided that the asso-
citation should assume control OF the
situation and dispose Of the apples at
whatever price it should deem just and
proper.

Almost We're Two More Added to the
Long List of the Big Bore Victims

Engineer John McLaren and his fire.
man, Frank Bliss, were brought to DR..
Hoxsey's hospital early yesterday morn
ing in a half unconscious condition.
They were bringing an eastbound
freight train through the tunnel about
$3.50 o'clock and both enginemen were
overcome by the noxious gases that are
most troublesome at this time of year.
McLaren was picked up beside the en-
CINE with an ugly scalp wound which
he probably received in a fall while
trying to get off the engine.
DR.. Hoxsey being absent in Spo-
kane, DR.. Elmer was called to attend
the men and administered restoratives.
At IL noon yesterday both men had so
far recovered as to be considered out
of danger. Just why the train stalled
we have been unable to learn.
Exactly how many men have lost
their lives in the Cascade tunnel we
can not recall now, but they are way
up in two numbers. Ere great while
the steam locomotives will be replaced
by electric engines, when this source
of danger to human life will be re-
