To Be THE STAPLE
PRODUCT
EXPERT SAYS THAT
APPLE CROP WILL BE WORTH
MORE TO STATE THAN THE
WHEAT CROP.

Spokane, May 7.-"Apples are Ger.
tain to become the staple product of
Washington and within a few years
the value of the states crop will
amount to three times the value Of
the wheat output, now placed at 40
100000 bushels a year, and consider.
ably more than the annual output OF
gold from Alaska"
w. n. Granger, government irri.
cation expert and manager of the
Sunnyside project, covering 10000
acres in the Yakima valley, construct
ed by the United States government
at a cost of $1,500,000, said this in
announcing that 100000 acres of
land will be under irrigation systems
before the close Of the next decade,
adding:
cit is my belief that the increase in
irrigation of arid lands in Washing
ton will not cease until from 2,000,-
900 to 100000 acres are put under
water. l believe, too, that the Yak
ina valley will continue to lead the
state in the number of acres of land
under irrigation, and there are rea-
sons to believe that at least 100000
acres of land in the valley will be
under water within the next 10 years
THE question has been brought to
the fore many times in the last 20
years as to whether apples would not
depreciate in value on account of the
vast acreage devoted to them, and my
answer is now, as it has always been,
that the markets are rapidly increas-
ing and prices are advancing. There
is not enough land in the state of
Washington to make the price fall.
There is money in raising apples
and money will continue to be made
in the business for the next 200 years
at the lowest estimate, as the demand
for apples was never greater than at
the present time and this will con-
tinue for centuries

HIS OWN
FUNERAL GRAFTON

Spokane, May 7.-Charles Frisby
who died in Spokane few days ago,
delivered his own funeral sermon
through Mrs. Cora Kincannon Smith,
a medium, in Spiritualists' hall, S10 y
Riverside avenue, who said that the
words were those the spirit put into
her mouth. After telling his relatives
not to sorrow over his departure the
spirit of Frisby said through the me-
dunn:
Il can not tell you of pearly gates
or streets of gold, because every
thing here is much as it was on the
other sphere, only more beautiful.
Everything is tangible and. better
than that, it is everlasting. We have
books here to read, music, paintings
and everything that we enjoyed on
earth
over here you can have whatever
| you desire. If you are fond of house
work, here you will have a little
house to take care Of If music was
your pleasure, there will be heaven
ly music, and you can continue your
studies along any line you wish"
There were no mourners at the
funeral and after the musicians had
played Nearer. My God to Thee" it
was announced by Mrs. Smith that
the spirit desired lighter music, such
as Shall We Gather at the River?"

RUSSIA WILL BE
REPRESENTED

Spokane, May Nicholas, car
of Russia, has advised r. Insinger,
chairman of the local board of con-
troll of the national irrigation con-
gress, through H. E. the Baron Resen;
ambassador of Russia, that the Rus
sian government will be officially
represented at the 18th sessions in
Spokane, August to IA, by Eugene
Sk0rniakoff, agricultural engineer,
who is coming to the northwest for
the purpose of studying reclamation
work. He will also visit government
irrigation projects in various parts of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana,
California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
the Dakotas, and Kansas The ap-
pointment of Mr.. SkOrniakoff as a
special delegate to the Spokane con-
gress is taken to mean that the gov
eminent is planning to reclaim large
tracts of lands in Russia with view
to cutting them into small tracts and
encourage agriculture in its various
branches. Mr.. Insinger also has ad-
vices that Japan, China and sew
eral of the republics in South Amer
lea will be represented by experts at
the gathering of irrigationists.

Important Clue Scented.

The most important clue in pos
session of the officers is believed by
them to be the movements of two
men in an automobile whose strange
actions on the road in East Spokane
township attracted attention last
Sunday 1t was reported to the po-
lice station that two men left an
automobile in the road and carried
two sacks into the woods. They re-
turned to the machine after an alb
sence of two hours and proceeded in
the direction Of the city. Automobile
tracks were found near the place
west of Trent where the mail car was
robbed and it is believed that the
bandits used that means of locomo-
ton to get to the city.
