PENNSYLVANIA Is AFTER

saw the Yakima Exhibit at the Seattle
Fair and at Once Wrote Here for a
Supply.

Yakima honey is wanted by a man
away back in Pennsylvania and he
wants the famous alfalfa product of
this section so badly that he has ask
ed that il be shipped to him by ex-
press. BY that method i, will cost
him twice as much as if delivered by
freight but he is himself suggesting
the terms. The reason the Philadel-
phia man wants Yakima honey is be-
cause he has seen that kind. Incl
dentally il may be said that. so far as
the record goes, ii is the first direct
benefit Yakima county has received
from its participation in the expo
sition at Seattle. Arson s. whitet

pared the Yakima county honey ex-
hibiI at the exposition at Seattle. That
exhibit attracted the attention of the
man from Pennsylvania. He wrote
to Mr.. White delivering an order for
honey, in some quantity with the re-
quest that it be expressed 10 him.
Crop Is a Poor One.
Yakima's honey crop is this year
peach crop. Never since bees were
introduced into this valley has the
honey crop failed. until this year. Just
why il has failed appears TO be some
thing Of q mystery. There were the
blossoms and the usual vegetation
and opportunities, apparently. but the
honey flow did not materialize. The
bees worked hard. They did their best
and the result Is that their owners will
have TO feed them this winter. This
statement is not true with regard TO
every colony and every apiarist but
j; true in the main. The crop, as 4
whole. is q failure.

have the management of the National
Apple show at Spokane change the
size of boxes in which exhibits of box
ed apples may be made al the show

the local men the standard apple box

the box in which fruit must be evhib-
tied and the latitude of from 40 to
SO pounds announced by the Apple
show management has been curtailed
The effort Of the Yakima Horticul-
Iural union followed upon unsuccess-
iul attempts made by prominent fruit
growers of the state and neighboring
states
Request of Local Men.
The request of the local union was
in favor of the box in general use in
this section and the union pointed
out that this box is used in Washing
ton. Oregon, Idaho. Montana and
British Columbia. 1t was pointed out
also that the interests of the growers
Of Yakima as represented by the local
union in part, and of the growers of
other northwestern states should re-
ceive more attention than the requests
Of eastern buyers and shippers.
Reply of Spokane Men.
The reply to this letter is as follows:
Gentlemen:
Al meeting of the trustees of the
National Apple Show, held August rs,

cred and after reading your letter and
the resolution adopted by our union
and hearing statement of the case as
presented by ]. l. Dumas, president
Of the Washington State Horticultural
society, the trustees adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Standard Box Accepted.
Resolved, that the National Apple
Show recognize the standard apple
box 10 1-2x11 Lexis inches. cor
lining 217S.5 cubic inches, and re-
quests that all commercial box ex
hibits at the National Apple show
shall conform thereto, or to one spec.
ial box, which shall contain sa00 cubic
inches.
In conclusion. 1 am directed By the
trustees to say that the National Ap-
PIE show stands for the interest of
the progressive apple grower and we
stand ready at all times to encourage
the growing of the higher grades. the
proper marketing of the fruit, and for
any feature which will advance the
cause of the men who are giving their
aid in making the National Apple
show a success from the exhibitors

St Joseph banks were yesterday
swindled out of between $4,000 and
5000 by a series of the SIN oothest
deals ever pulled off in this city. Each
of the banks was worked for from
s4o0 TO $500. Two men did the work
and made good their escape, not

were on their trail within a half hour
after they had turned the last card.

would mention the fact that he had
recently sold his business in ST. Louis
and expected the arrival OF the draft
in payment for the business almost
any day and would deposit that when
il came.
A few days later he would appear
and draw out a portion of the account
or would check n it, but in each

at the bank with certified check for
about $500 and wanted TO deposit ii
with his balance. The check was
drawn up in due form and signed by G.
w. Galbreath of the Third National
Bank of ST. Louis and certified to BY
him. The man asked to draw out
$500 or $500 of the check, leaving the
balance to his credit. Right here the
bankers bit.
Such transactions are not infre-
Qaent among the banks when a man
has established his acquaintance and
held a deposit. The man apparently
was all right, looking like a fellow of
means, and apparently the check on
the ST. Louis bank was good.
This transaction was repeated at all
the nine banks. the swindlers max
ing the rounds within few hours and
they were probably out of the city be-
fore the fraud was discovered.
The first bank to tumble to the
steal was the Bank of North ST.
Joseph. The stranger. who gave his
name as E. W. wilkins, entered the
bank between II and 1880 o'clock in
the morning. He had a small deposit
in the bank and had been doing bust
ness there during the past two weeks.
The check was accepted and E L.
Hart. Jr.. assistant cashier, gave the
man S175. Mr.. Hart was suspicious of
the check, however, and telephoned
to E. A King. head of the bank, at
Mr.. Kings place of business a few
blocks away. Mr.. King instructed the
cashier to go to the First National

to try their game on any of the larg-

game would have ben nipped in the
