$4,000 CARS OF
FRUIT

Editor Daily World:
1t is putting it modestly to say
THAT North Central Washington will
within few years contain within its
embrace 100000 acres Of growing
fruit. 1t is conservative also to esti-
mate that that fruit land will pro-
duce half car of fruit to the acre.
That will be $4,000 cars of fruit that
must be transported to market. This
says nothing about the vast acreage
of general farm land included within
the same area. Granting that the
shipping season should extend over
the entire year, which it will not,
there will be nearly five hundred cars
a week. 1t is staggering to cOntem-
plate the facilities that will be neces-
sary to adequately and quickly trans
port that fruit to market. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that the rail-
roads will not be equal to the oc-
casion. The results will be that tons
of fine fruit will rot at the stations
or be gotten to market fit only to
dump. None of the gifts of a seer
are requisite to foresee such a con-
dition. The railroads have repeated
ly and abundantly shown themselves
entirely unable to cope with just
such situations. Witness the rawlings
of shippers of wheat for cars, the
great loss of grain, the suffering
from cold for want of fuel and the
utter helplessness of railroad officials
to supply the demands in the past,
every season, every winter.
AS in the solution to many other
problems we must turn to nature for
help. Her lavish hand has stretched
cut through the heart of this great
country, anticipating just this prob
lem, a great common highway, free
to all, which will put us in touch with
the markets of the world at saving
in rates that will pay for the neces-
sary improvement in five years. From

flows the great artery, the Columbia
river, enabling it's commerce to reach
even the worlds remotest extremi-
ties And for one-third the rate of
rail transportation.
Wenatchee is above all inland
cities blessed. She has unparalleled
opportunities. With the river open
to Kettle Falls, Wenatchee need only
to hold her lap and the walth of that
great country will be poured into it.
All that great growing country is
Wenatchee's by inheritance. Will she
barter away her birth-right for pre-
sent small mess of postage? Does she
want an open river? She surely does.
| But does she want it brought to her
on silver platter? She must have
it or perish but does she want others
! to get it for her, while she digs for
what is right, with no thought for
the future? Does Wenatchee want
to tie onto the upper country?' In
| deed she does, but who is going to
! do the "tieing" If not Wenatchee?
The business men of Wenatchee will
have to camp on the trail of all these
good things, if they get them. We
will have to get our noses out of
our tills and get behind the move

CALIFORNIA MOVES FORWARD.

Tuesday was the first time that the
people of California have had an OPP
portunity to express their prefer
ences directly for candidates for pub
lie Office. At one single stroke they
freed themselves from the domino
ton of railroad and other interests
which have controlled California poll
tics for over a quarter of a century.
The republicans of California real
lied that the progressive Roosevelt
Lincoln league had endorsed candi-
dates who stood forth as representa-
tives of the people rather than the
big business interests, and they Sc
lected them for their standard bear
ers.
The democratic candidate for gov
ernor made his campaign on an anti
railroad platform, and which
ever party wins in November
the people of California will have a
voice in the administration of their
state government next year. Every
indication points in the direction of
a demand on the part of voters for
men who can be depended on to
champion the peoples cause. Boss
ism and machine politics are not far
ing we'll this year. The fulmina-
tions of Speaker Cannon and the at
tempt to discredit ex-President
Roosevelt do not set we'll with the
people.

to furnish only little, or a large
quantity of hot air, and believe that
our favorite boosters can do the rest.
If we do expect it we are doomed to
not eclipse our vision. Selfish inter-

veal. We must bury our faces In

the dust, created by the scramble for
gold, and thereby blind ourselves to
future needs. We must not content
ourselves with gathering the thous-
ands now and then express surprise
at the millions that slip away from
us tomorrow. If we fail to appre-
ciate our opportunities we will awake
