Crop Is Hardly More Than a Third
of That of Last Year But Prices
Are Good.

Now that the picking and packing
season for apples is on, says the Wen
atchee World, the dealers have a very
good idea as to the yield for the val
ley. This valley, like every other
apple section, has only a partial crop.
This in part will be made up by the
increased prices paid. 1t was at first
estimated that the Wenatchee valley
would have 60 per cent of a crop but
dealers now concede that it will not
go over 40 per cent.
Conrad Rose, of the Wenatchee
Produce company, stated this morn-
ing that whereas this valley shipped
out about 1900 carloads last year that
soc will cover the shipments this year.
notwithstanding the small crop, yet
apple pickers and packers are hard to
secure. The plentitude of work in
other lines has taken out a great deal
of the labor that is usually employed
in the orchards, consequently all

door of the adjoining room, and the
workmen rushed out and threw them
knees, crying, Mercy. Mercy"
There is no mercy for you here" was
the grim retort.
The original plan had been to shoot
Gapon, who struggled, imploring, MY
brothers, my brothers" and received
for answer, I'VE are not your broth
ers; Ratchkowsky is your brother"
Brothers" duplicated the wretch
ed man, Il swear to you that it was
for an idea"
But his speech was cut short.
I'VE have heard your ideas; we
know them" they shouted and, with
out uttering a word, they bound him
tightly
Comrades! have mercy! Remem-
Der what we have seen together"
Gapon cried.
THAT is why you deserve to die" a
workman replied; you have sold our
blood to the police. You must die"
and, continues the graphic narrative:
The workmen, with tacit agreement
and without moments hesitation,
put rope around his neck and
dragged him to a wall in which a
large hook was fixed. In a hoarse
and half-stif1ed voice, Gapon cried;
Brothers, dear brothers, wait a mo-
ment! Allow me to speak one last
word"
Swing him up" cried workman
who had been at his side in the pro-
cession, One man, moved by pity,
said: Let him say what he wished
today, as he asks to. Perhaps it is
something important
Brothers," implor-d Gapon, as
soon as the rope had been loosened a
little, brothers, spare me. Ny be-
loved ones, spare me through consd-
Grafton for my past"
With one impulse the workmcn
pulled the rope, and Gapons body
writhed powerless in the air; a few
moments and he was dead. Pale. sad
and serious, the workmen went away
one by one and came to the terrace
where Ruthenberg was awaiting in
feverish agitation. In trembling
voice he asked: as il over?'' and
silence was the reply.
