GIRL SCHOOL MATRON
WANTS YAKIMA APPLES
Develops That Miss Lowther Is Stu
dent in Same Girls School in the
L East.

Secretary H. p. James of the Com
merciaI club has conclusive evidence
of Yakima publicity. Pursuant to
the publication Of the fact that Yaki-
ma is to send several carloads of fan
cy apples to New York City during
the coming season, the story was pub
1ished in the Seattle Pr. and copied
In the New York Times, where it was
read by the matron of one of the
largest girls schools in the east.
The matron wrote the editor of
the P.-I. that she did not know where
North Yakima was located, but wish
ed that he would forward her COM
munication to the Commercial club
here, which he did, and the letter
came Friday morning.
In it the matron asked that the
students of the college have an op-
portunity to secure some nice apples,
because New York state is without
an apple crop this year as a result
OF the past seasons failure, stating

TEST SHOWS
fruit 0. K.
LABISSONIfRf ON PEACH CRISIS
Buds From Limbs of Apparently
Damaged Trees.

The first actual test made of fruit
buds on peach trees near North Yak
ina, made since the report that frost
had practically killed the entire crop,
has been reported by George Labs
soniere, a Mob Hill rancher, who has
disclosed the fact to his satisfaction
that the fruit buds have been unin-
jured. In proof, he has several small
limbs that were submitted to the test
and which show the normal number
of buds, despite the fact that the
wood and bark appeared to have
been injured.
Following is the letter of the Mob
Hill rancher, which explains the test
that was made by him and the re-
suits obtained:
Editor Herald: Please allow be
a little space in your esteemed paper
to refute the advances made by some
mAadroit and awkward person, who
deliberately proclaimed that the Yak
ina valleys fruit crop would be
ruined by the cold snap of January.
I can say that am prepared to re-
flute this false scare, as have tested
several twigs of young peach trees
at their first seasons growth.
The trees having been planted late,
their twigs were probably not as
ripe as those of trees planted early.
l detached several twigs from trees
which apparently were damaged, as
the cambrium layer and even the
wood and heart was more or less dis
colored, put them in lukewarm water
i,x ho ~ nd of h0
buds Logan to swell and every one
of them, clear to the terminal bud,
came out beautifully. I have turn
ed them over to the Herald office
to verify my assertion.
Such rumors as have been circu-
lated must certainly have been from
some one adverse to this incompara-
BILE valley, as every one fully knows
before hand that one detrimental
word said against our valley is bound
to magnify to columns. Any man
interested in the welfare of our
blessed valley of Yakima would not
originate such disastrous rumors
but would wait until the damages
are actually incurred.
I would ask, where is the compe-
tent man to declare the verdict OF
a ruined crop in North Yakima? Has
he taken tests of similar instance?
Has he registered an analysis of a
prior freeze like that of 1909?
There may not be a dozen men in
the country who would or could pro-
nounce accurately on this subject.
And what will be the lot of the man
of this bad creation? He has pub
lished an erroneous theory; he has
placed himself as venturesome
blabber. Will he be admired or rid
iculed? He was probably expecting
to be lauded for his personality and
sagacity and winning thereby the
fiattery of his fellow men. This
would be vanity But I say that man
does more harm to our land of plenty
than anyone can realize. He will
stop and delay Immigration to an in
calculable amount, for that freeze
scare" will spread like wild fire, and
that man is responsible and will bear
the weight of his indiscretion for all
time to come.

 The fight between the two men took place shortly before the noon hour, and, according to statement made to the foreman of the shops by Cunning ham, was occasioned by his disputing the word of Knight.
 After the fight was over Cunningham went to John Sheen, who Is the fore man. and told him he had been in a fight with Knight He said that he had disputed Knights word. whereup- on Knight told him not to do 1t. Once again he disputed Knights word and was struck in the face. Knight, he then declared. picked up a scantling and came at him second time. Cum ningham said he then drew his knife and as Knight struck at him. he seized the scantling in way that turned ms assaiiant half around, and stabbed him three times.
 Leaving Cunningham in his ohice and with the statement that he was most sorry 1t had occurred. Sheen then went to the place where the fight took place, and found Knight sitting in a chair The wounded man appeared to be tn bad way and doctor was im- mediately summoned. On his arrival at the shops the doctor immediately or dered that Knight be removed to St Margarets Hospital. Here It was found that the man was not as badly injured as had at first been supposed Later on 1t was said he was doing well and would recover in a few days

MUCH TALK; MANY BARS
TURTON FINDS HIMSELF IN HIS
 FRIENDS PLIGHT.
Criticized Method of Dfspensing Jus tice and Treating Prisoners and Finishes In . Police
 Cell

"It's a downright shame that a man should be arrested just because he wants to pay his friends fine." mumbied F, M. Turton. as he was gently led by a policeman from the Recorders Court to cell in the city bastiie. Tuesday afternoon.
 The policeman was hard-hearted however. or else deaf. or else he thought more of obeying his chiefs command. for he continued on his way with his prisoner and locked him in a cell. there to sleep until morning.
 The peculiar part of 1t was that Turton had done just what he said he had done. and thereby hangs story that considerably amused the court os. ficials.
 Monday night the vigilant police had espied one R. W. Dixon, a white man, considerably the worse for bev- erages he had been imbibing. and gave him quilt on a cell floor on which to sleep.
 Tuesday afternoon he was brought before the Recorder and acknowledge ed he was drunk when arrested. When asked whether he had been in the court before he said that he had been, two years ago or maybe three. He escaped with the light fine of s2 and costs and was about to go back to his | friend to pay his fine when Turton got In on the game.
 Arising from his seat on the front bench, he approached Dixon and, placing his arm around his shoulder. addressed the court:
 Judge. your honor. I would like to say a few words for my friend Dix on.'
 "Too late, said the court, T have already disposed of the case"
 How much will 1t take" said Tur- ton. and on being informed that if would take just s5. promptly produc- ed bill. He was directed to Captain Miles Smith, and threw down the s5 note on tlre desk in front of that off, cial, saying at the same time: Tt is a shame the way they treat prisoners | in this court - ID sf1eB ah t'iV l. u" U Captain Smith reminded him that he l had already said too much. As Fur | ton did not seem to know when to | stop the captain called a policeman and ordered Turton locked up on a charge of being drunk in the court | room.
 Thus 1t happened that Turton paid his friends fine for. being drunk. his 1 friend was released and Turton took his place behind the bars. minus 50.
