BASsADOR TO US.
Takahira Says 1t Would Be the Most
''inhuman Event in Worlds History
and Too HeIIish to Be Thought of
-AII Newspaper Talk-He Has
Been Away Two Years.

New York, Feb. 18.-DecIaring that
war between the United States and
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 a 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 maneuver
on grand scale, designed to show to
the world at large that America has a
wonderful naval power which can be
dispatched anywhere at moments
notice Tin 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 to
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 minister
and was subsequently elevated to the
rank Of ambassador. He was one of
the Japanese ENJOYS at the Portsmouth
peace conference.

FRUIT GROWERS, ASSOCIATION
Much Good and Profit at Wenatchee,
Wash.

Much Good and Profit at Wenatchee,
Wash.
The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association was established about
two years ago with about 300 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 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
100000 for the year 1907.
One feature of the business of the
past year was the big apple pool held
in September. One hundred and one
cars of apples were held by the as
ISOLATION, and bids were advertised for
in all parts of the United States.
New York, Pittsburg, New Orleans,
Washington, D. c., Chicago and other
large cities throughout the east and
middle west were apprised of the fact
and bids came in from every direc-
ton.
When the bids were opened it was
found that the best price offered for
apples came from the east and south,
and the 101 carloads were Sold at
prices far beyond the expectation of
the leaders Of the pool. The apples
sold for an average of $1,000 car and
netted large sums to the fruit growers.
The fruit was all delivered and the
money paid before the money strin-
gency came on.
An inspection of the books shows
that the largest proceeds from this
years work of the association to any
one individual was William Turner,
who lives just about mile and half
from Wenatchee.
Mr.. Turner had 10 acres of six year
old orchard and 10 acres of five year
old trees.
The books show that he shipped
8779 boxes of apples and received for
them $18,544S0 Ninety-three boxes
were sold for s162.55; % boxes sold
for $4870; 1000 boxes of light colored
apples sold for $1,000; 200 boxes are
still held by the association for sale.
