sen. NELSON W. ALDRICH
SUGAR TRUSTS PARTNER
Trust Has Fought His Political Bat
ties and he Has Attended to the SUI
gar Duty-Payne Schedule and
What Has Happened i'm Other Tariff
RevisiOns Shows 1t.

The secret of the strong political
influence which has saved the sugar
trust during it's long career of crime
is explained by the trusts association
with Nelson w. Aldrich, says the
partners.
AS long ago as in 1898 the connec-
ton between Mr.. Aldrich and the
sugar crowd was made a matter Of
official record. In that year Aldrich
organized, and the sugar trust crowd
financed the United Traction & Elec-
trio company, a corporation to take
over the franchises and properties OF
the Providence, r. l., street car COM
pany.
Aldrlch Is Traction Head.
The president Of the u. T. & e. was
Nelson w. Aldrich. Its vice president
was John E. Searles Cor the sugar
trust.) The bank which furnished the
money and handled the securities was
the Central Trust company of New
York, which is the sugar trust bank
The treasurer of the u. T. e. E. was
F. p. Olcott, of the Central Trust COM
pany. Others associated with Aldrich
IN tne prOmOtlOn or the concern were
Marsden ]. Jerry of New York (now
a large holder in electric power cor
porations) and William j. Rocker of
Providence and New York.
The U. T. & E. issued bonds to the
amount of $4,000, 900 and stock to an
equal amount The sugar trust bank
took the bonds and loaned the So, O0O,-
900. Aldrich and his friends retained
the $S,000,000 stock; and this is where
the Rhode Island senator laid the
foundation of his fortune.
There were numerous reorganiza-
tons and consultations Of the cor
poration which started as the U. T.
& E.. and 1t was several years before
Aldrich had the Rhode Island legis-
lature grant to the corporation fran
chises for gas, electric power and trac-
ton monopoles for the entire state
of Rhode Island for 999 years. But
in time all this was handed over to
what had become the Rhode Island
company, and the whole was sold to
the New York, New Haven & Hart

Pike WRITES IN
NELSON'S DEFENSE
Says That Valley Was Ably Repre-
scented at Land and Irrigation Ex-
position by Local Man.

Granville Ross Pike, who is in Chi
cago writes to The Herald that the
Yakima display at the National Lan.I
d irrigation exposition which has
just closed in Chicago is a credit to
the community. He says:
AS a citizen of North Yakima, tenn
porarily in Chicago, 1 feel impelled TO
address a word through you to the
other residents Of that vicinity with
reference to the Yakima county ex-
hibit at the United States Land &
Irrigation exposition. just closed in
this city. 20
The attendance very much exceed
ed the largest hopes of those con-
nected with the enterprise. The in
terest of those visiting it was even
greater than the crowd. 1t is sur
prising indeed how intensely eager so
many persons are to learn about the
opportunities which the various Sec
lions of our county, and especially the
fruit regions of Washington. offer in
tending settlers or investors.
The exhibit contributed by different
sections of the valley was excellent,
and attracted large numbers from the
opening to the closing of the EXPOSE
ton. Very many remarked upon the
representative character of this ex-
hibit showing as it did the products
of all sections of the valley and speci-
flying the different growers. Surely
the Yakima valley in extent. variety
and quality of it's exhibit maintained
its claim to the premiership among
all fruit regions of our land.
1t is only just to say that much of
the success of the county exhibit
as well as the favor with which the
public received it, was due to the per-
sonality of the county's representa-
tive, Mr.. w. M. Nelson, who had the
county's interests in charge.
From first to last, it was evident
that he was the right man in the right
place; never sparing himself when
hard work was to be done, never too
tired or hurried to listen patiently
to those who sought information or
favors, Mr.. Nelson, quietly, modestly
skillfully, courteously and efficiently
managed the affairs of his important
department in such a way as to gain
not only the interest of those seek
ing safe and profitable investments but
the personal friendship and confidence
in our wonderful valley of everyone

approximately $4,000 to the ElIens-
burg man. That the price will ad-
vance several dollars II the corner n
successfully held is conceded by many
others.
Mr.. Weinberg states that his hay
was purchased at prices ranging from
SIG to $40 per ton, though others
say as high as $40 per ton was paid
for the fancy hay during the closing
days of the buying season. At that
rate his profit will be enormous IL he
successfully sells 1t all.

FRUIT GROWING
AN ANCIENT ART
AND ITS PRINCIPLE Ions KNOWN
North Yakima Man Has Book Two
Centuries Old Which Contains
Some Excellent Advice.

knowledge concerning farming and
fruit growing has not increased so
much as might be supposed in the past
two hundred years. In the matter OF
farm implements, of course, there
has been great advance, but the
husbandman of England in 1116
/. knew a good deal about the compost
ton of soils, the use of fertilizer, the
rotation of crops. He irrigated his
lands, where desirable, lifting water
to them by means of the Persian wa
ter wheel, scores of which, in practi-

signs himself ]. W., is man of much
erudition and his treatise is full of
classical illusions. The book belongs
TO George Olden, a Yakima rancher.
Mr.. Olden says he has found much
pleasure and considerable information
in reading the book.
Better to Drink.
]. w. treats of the profits and pleas
ures of fruit trees at some length, but
while fruit is desirable to eat, it is
made apparent that in England 200
years ago it was much more desirable
to drink. There is great talk of the
cider made from the apples and the

to the old manual, are the apple, pear,

the latter a very small tart apple,
which seems to have fallen into dis
use; also filberts. services and ounces.
The fruits that best succeeded by
budding are apricots, peaches, nee
tarines, gooseberries and currants,
though "plumbs," apples, pears and
cherries may also be budded with
good success.
The best apple for the table, says
the early writer, are the JENNINGS,
the Harvey apple, the Golden Pippin,
Summer and Winter Pearmains and
Pippins, the John apple and many
others.
Finest Apple Ever.
There is a sort of Russeting, with

HAY DEALERS LNIGH
AT STORY OF CORNER
Yakima County Men Say That IL is an
Annual Offering From the XIII
tas Valley.

Yakima county hay dealers laugh at
reports that Henry Kleinberg of FL
lcnsburg has a corner on the timothy
hay market. which report has been
circulated broadcast from Ellcnsburg
within the past day or two. Yakima
men say that it Is as hard TO corner
the hay market as II would be 10 get
a corner ON salt water. II has been
tried before, however and annually It
is reported from Ellensburg that
someone I'm Kittltas has succeeded.
The Ellensburg Record says:
what is pronounced by prominent
hay men as one Of the biggest timo-
thy hay corners in the history of the
northwest is held by Henry Klein
berg, Of Ellensburg Mr. Kleinborg
today announced that he had more
than 10000 tons Of Kittitas valley hay
stored In his own and private barns
and warehouses in the valley a short
crop In Montana and elsewhere has
been Instrumental in aiding in this
gigantic corner.
MIR. Kleinberg's statement that ne
has 10000 tons stored is pronounced
by men I'm a position to know as be-
ing conservative. Others estimate
Mr.. Klcinberg's holdings in Ellens-
burg at $4,000 tons. or more than half
ef the entire hay crop Of this section.
Would Take Quarter Million.
"At Mr. Kleinberg's statement OF

on hand would be worth close 70

tons, as others state. the hay he has
on hand Is worth at least $500. 900.

NOT ROOM FOR POST OFFICE.
Plans as Shown Here Indicate That
Space Allotted Departments is
Inadequate.

If North Yakima's new fedora
building Is constructed according to
the plans which have been sent out
for approval the post office will have
to get along with just about half the
space 1t Is at present occupying. which
Is now inadequate. For example:
There are now between 500 and 900
letter boxes in the present postofficc
and they are not as numerous as the
customers applying for them. In the
new postofiice there will be room, un
less the plans are changed, for just
about 400 boxes. The money order
stamp and registry departments, with
three windows now busy all the time.
will be placed In smaller quarters an
but two windows will be furnished to
accommodate an already long-suf-
fering public. The lobby in the pres
ent postoffice permits lineup over 80
feet long of people seeking mall at
the delivery window and it is a mat
ter of common knowledge that at
times the crowds cut a figure IS" in
order to keep within doors. The lobby
in the new building will permit of
16-foot lineup. The mail box space
Is reduced so feet at present, to 40
feet
Many Other Objections.
There are numerous other objec-
tons which might be made to the
building from the postohice point Of
view and material one is that the
workroom within is smaller than that
in which the mail is at present
handled. There are nice offices, how
ever, for the postmaster and his as
sistant and for the various depart
ment heads and generally the building
is up to the high federal standard in
such architecture. 1t has a ground
plan, of 75X100 feet while the federal
property on South Third and Chest
nut street is 140X150. There is there
fore ample room for plans for a much
larger building than the inadequate
one the plans of which were received
by Col. w. l.. Lemon, postmaster, Sat
urday.

Each Helped the Other.

Each Helped the Other.
Thus did the sugar trust make
money for Aldrich, while Aldrich
made money also for the sugar trust
But this was not the only connec-
ton between the two. Aldrich's first
big service to the sugar trust-one
which Melted that corporation $1,000
900 year over and above stealings-
was Aldrich's personal contribution to
the Wilson tariff law.
An excellent explanation of this
AFFAIR was given by Col. Alex. X. Nc
Clure, editor of the Philadelphia
Times, in speech delivered In Bos-
ton October 26. 1892, and printed YER
batim in the Boston Herald on the fol-
lowing day. The following Is from the
account.
Let me explain. Senator Aldrich
spoke in our city few days ago and
I called upon him in most respectful
terms in the columns of my paper to
explain how It was that when our
four-tenths of one per cent was taxed
upon refined sugar. and everybody had
agreed to that, that he added one
tenth of one per cent. and made Il
1--WE tenths of one per cent, and re-
ported 1t to the senate Senator Aid
rich d d'not explain that for a good
reason-he could not explain It. There
is no more infamous robbery of the
people than the compact between
Aldrich and the sugar men who put
the price of this oppression upon the
people. (Applaus.)
1t was done in the privacy of the
committee room, and could not have
been done honestly (applause) and he
dare not explain it to you in any place
here in New England.
why talk so much about tax of
one-tenth of one per cent on sugar?
What does it amount to? will tell
you what it amounts to, and every
man who can put two and two to-
gether. l can make understand this
sugar steal in five minutes. One-tenth
of one per cent of the tax upon sugar
that Is one mill-gives the men who
refined 1t 100000 year. Two
tenths of one per cent will give So
100000 year; three-tenths of one
per cent will give 100000 year:
four-tenths of one per cent gives s12,-
100000; and five-tenths of one per
cent gives $15.0O0,000. That is what
1t amounts to. and you pay 1t.
when the bill came to the senate
there was no open demand for in
crease, but Senator Aldrich had a bat
tie in Rhode Island, which most Of
you may remember, and it was a bat
tie royal for cash. He had to be re-
elected to the senate last April; do
you remember It? And he gave an
additional one-tenth of one per cent
to the sugar men, and the sugar men
fought that battle in Rhode Island
and reelected him.
II challenge Senator Aldrich to
stand before any audience In New
England and deny that he put that
additional one-tenth of one per cent
on sugar, which taxes every one of
you in an aggregate of $1,000 900, that
he put that additional tax upon it
without any public demand from the
sugar men, and without any pretense
Of necessity for it, except by cor
rupt political bargain. (Applause.)
This challenge was never accepted.
Aldrich never explained.
That this partnership between Aid
rich and the sugar trust has been CON
tinued, and still exists, was shown
conclusively by the history of the tar
if bill passed last wiper.
