COL. CARR MADE
INVESTMENT
WELL KNOWN ILLINOIS POLL
TICIAN PURCHASED 40 ACRES
IN METHOW, ALSO TOOK OP-
TIONS AT LAKE CHELAN.

The fruit business is something
new to me and have never seen any
thing like your orchards" said Col.
Clarke E. Carr today. "It is all a
marvel to me though l have read
something Of your section and also of
the Yakima, but it is a wonder to me
the way your orchards bear and the
prices you get for your fruit. 1t have
become so enthused regarding the or
chard business myself that I have
purchased 40 acres in the MethOw
valley through Messrs. Colbert e
Elliott of your city. I have left in
structions for the clearing and plant
ing of this land and expect some day
to take up my actual residence in the
west"
Colonel Clarke E. Carr is one of
the well known figures in Illinois po-
Htical life. He was Mckinley ap-
pointee as minister to Denmark and
has also served his state in various
elective and appointive positions.
Colonel Carr not only made his pur-
chase of 40 acres of land in the Met,
how valley but also took options on
Lake Chelan property and he is
thinking very seriously of taking up
his residence in the west. Anyway
he has decided to spend most of the
summers here. He has been a well
known figure in politics, bat of late
years has devoted most of his time
to literary pursuits and has pub
lished number of books as well as
having contributed to popular maga-
zines.

la FEAN'S APPLE
BILL
FRUIT GROWERS OF THE STATE
WILL MEET IN SPOKANE NOV.
16 TO PROTEST AGAINST CON-
GRESSIONAL BILL.

Believing that the La Fean apple
package and grading bill, intro
duced at the special session of the
United States congress, last winter,
is designed to favor special interests
and that it's enactment will prove
detrimental to the fruit industry in
the Pacific northwest, the executive
committee of the Washington State
Horticultural association and the
board of trustees of the National
Apple Show, Inc, have called a con-
vention of apple growers, shippers,
representatives of refrigerator car
concerns and box manufacturers to
meet in Spokane, November 16, for
the purpose of considering the pro-
visions of the measure.
That a concerted fight is to be
waged against the bill is evidenced
by the appended paragraphs, con-
tanned in a circular letter to be is
sued to growers, shippers, box manu-
facturers and refrigerator car men
in the west, by L. G.. Monroe, secre-
tary Of the Washington State Horti-
cultural association and Ren H. Rice,
secretary-manage of the National
Apple Show, Inc.
This bill is designed, we believe,
to favor private interests, and if en-
acted much harm to the fruit indus
try of the Pacific northwest will re-
suit.
''The fame of the apple business
of the Pacific slope and intermoun-
tain region of the west has become
world wide. and while the superior
ity of our apples is conceded, much
of this fame is due to the manner
in which this staple fruit product is
prepared for market. We refer to
the standard box. which contains a
little more than tWinchester) bu-
shell, the standard dry measure of
the United States
uniformity in package and grad
ing is desired but we contend that
the apple growers, who are box US
ers, have something to say and
should be heard on this important
matter
Messrs. Monroe and Rice say in a
joint statement that the horticultu-
Montana will join in the call and
urge growers and shippers in their
states to attend the convention.
which will begin its sessions AT
1890 O'Clock the morning of No
vember 16 in the G. A. r. hall of the
state armory in Spokane. The ses-
sions will be open to representatives
of apple associations and growers
unions and others interested in the
movement. Champions of the La
Fern bill will also have an oppor-
tunity to present their side of the
argument.
I'VE desire the opinion of every
grower and shipper in the west on
the apple box question" said Mr..
Rice, Ito determine whether, in their
judgment and experience, the pres
ent standard should be maintained
or a new one adopted. Those who
cannot attend are requested to write
to L. G. Monroe. secretary Washing
ton State Horticultural association.
Spokane, Wash, giving their views
on this matter.
Concerted action is imperative at
this time because of its weight n
making public opinion and arousing
the western representatives in con-
gress to the needs of the producers
and handlers"

How We Captured the Yankee Battery

best running Soon we covered the
intervening space between the first
and second lines, and as the fleeing
Yanks broke over the works, we we're
right there too. Necessarily, this
wild stampede threw the second line
into confusion, and before they could
rally from it, we were on to 'em like
a western cyclone, and they also
broke and run. Now we had two
lines of the enemy up in full flight
before us. From the time we routed
the first line the enemy couldn't shoot
us for fear of shooting their own men,
This we knew, and that was our object
in keeping close behind them. All
this time we hadn't fired gun, but
when we routed the second line, and
they went 5warming up the hill like
drove of blackbirds, we fired into
them and 1 want you to know we
covered the ground with dead and
wounded Yankees! Showing right on
after them, we soon reached the
third and last line of breastwoFks,
and if my memory serves me right,
they didn't wait for US, but joined the
others in their mad fight up the hill
Occasionally We poured in a volICy,
while still in full charge. and we
never failed to stop the flight OF num-
berS of them When we captured the
third line and the enemy n mad
flight before us, then it was, as / re-
member it, that the rebel yell" broke
loose. Thousands of our men eagerly
watching our charge, knew we had
EN- when that line was crossed, and
the enemy in full flight before us. and
from center to right and left and all
along our battle line, together with
our men, raised such a yell as I don't
think 1 ever heard before or since.
I've charged on the battery. shoot
ing down the horses to keep the enc
my from carrying off the guns. and
before the Yankees could get a chance
to fire on us, we charged on aIsi into
the battery, capturing every gun
kersbaw'S men came on after us and
took possession of the battery. firing
some of their own guns at them be-
fore they got clear away. But, hun
dTeds, yes, there must have been
thousands. killed and wounded in that
charge. It was after we had made the
charge and captured the battery that
remember seeing some Kentucky
troops on the field. But. I am posi-
tive in stating that we were not re-
lieved temporarily, on account of eX-
hausting our ammunition We never
quit the front until we had run the
Yankees off and captured the battery"
