DAYTON DEVELOPS
A FRUIT INDUSTRY.
Touchet Valley to Be Scene Of Planting
of 22,eCO Trees This Year.

DAYTON, April &c. w. Alcorn,
proprietor of the Toucnet valley nurs-
cries, estimates that $4,000 apple trees
have been set out within a radius OF
five miles of Dayton this spring. Rome
Beauty was the principal variety.
with Jonathans and Yellow Pippins
close seconds. Both Mr. Alcorn and J.
L. Dumas. president of the State Hor-
ticultural society, who owns the ia
nous Pomona ranch, advocate the
planting of Rome Beauties as the lead
ing commercial variety for this part
of the state.
Mr. Alcorn said today that fruit
growers were wasting much valuable
land in setting out orchards. Most of
them. he said, set their trees in squares
thirty feet apart. Only As trees can thus
be set on an acre of ground. By setting
the trees diagonally, So trees can be set
to the acre and still be 80 feet apart.
Fruit growers, he said, should exercise
more care in planting their orchards.
Among the orchards set out here this
spring are ten acres by Charles Gill
breath; ten acres, Will Bundy; Is
acres, Gus Warwick; six acres, Will
liam Fairens. This list does not include
100 acres set out at Touchet gardens;
25 acres at Pomona ranch and 25 acres
by j. d. Israel. Suburban orchards are
becoming popular and a large number
of acre tracts are now being set out
near the city limits.
Speaking of the prospects of the
fruit industry, Mr. Alcorn said that he
estimates at least 800 acres of ground
will be planted in apples near Day
ton this fall. Trees for most of this
acreage have already been reserved.
Farmers are showing increased inter-
est in the possibilities of the indus
try and are planning to set out ex-
tenSiVe tracts. These figures are re
markable in view of the fact that
three years ago there were only two
commercial orchards in the valley.

TECHNICAL POINT
LOSES RATE CASE.
Railway Commission Order for Termi-
nal Rates Held to Be Void.

OLYMPIA, April 9.-The state SUI
preme court today affirmed the deci-
sion of the Thurston county superior
court, holding invalid and void an or
der of the state railroad commission
to compel the Northern Pacific to
make terminal rates from eastern
Washington points to Aberdeen, South
Bend Hoquiam and Bellingham on
hay, oats, barley and mill feed.
The decision is based on the fact
that the records failed to show that
there had been a formal complaint
filed and a hearing had before the or
der was entered. The court says the
commission has not power to order
new rates until there has been COM
plant that old rates are exorbitant or
discriminating.
AS matter of fact, there had been
a complaint, but, by an oversight In
preparing the pleadings, it was omit
ted and the discovery of the omission
was not made until too late for the
commission to make correction.

N. J. WILL
HAVE POLICE WOMEN
Feminine Officers Will Be Known as
Guardian Mothers and Will Do
DUTY in Parks.

BAYONNE, N. j., April 9.-Poilce
women are to be really in Bayonne.
Having been authorized by the city
council at the suggestion of Mrs. Julia
Goldzier, nine volunteers will do duty
policing the park during the summer.
The feminine officers will not bear the
common name of police women. but
will be known as Guardian Mothers
and will not wear uniforms, as at first
reported. Their duty will be not SO
much to make arrests, but to instill a
spirit of politeness in the youngsters
of Bayonne They will urge the chill
dren not to make noise, to be gentle
and rise always and give their seats
to elders.
The guardian mothers will do duty
on alternate afternoons and will serve
without pay. Some one has proposed
that each carry the proverbial slipper
or paddle instead Of club. but this
question has not been officially SET
tied.

Breaking over onion tops to increase

category as planting taters In the full

way smashing potato vines would

Merrill Pianos

You know that the value of any article
is based solely on what 1t can be
bought for in the open market.
Pianos of low quality are sold without re-
gard to any fixed price principle, and unfor-
tunately, the uniformed and unsuspectIng
purchaser, gets an inferior instrument much
to his disappointment and loss.
How is plano purchaser to be safe and
sure in making purchase? To the man,
woman, or young person about to purchase
piano we would say: This store points to
the straight, safe road. We handle only RE-
LIABLE GOODS. On this point there Is no
question. Our unlimited guarantee which is
behind every plano we sell, IL an absolute
protection for every purchaser. We recon-
mend the MERRILL PIANOS because we
are familiar with the details OF its manu-
facture. and the many thousands OF these
instruments which have been sold in New
England,-a goodly number of them by us,
to satisfied purchasers, speaks volumes for
the reliability OF the instrument.
