Mr.. Burgunder said yesterday:
"The next fair in Spokane will be the
best it ever had, at least in so far as the
fruit and grain exhibits are concerned.
The fruit crop is simply immense. The
yield OF grain will also be fine, but the
spring wheat crop will be light.
''Since my connection with the Inter

have never found farmers or fruit.

PINEAPPLE MEN
HOLD MEETING
Discuss Ways and Means of
Continuing Advertising
i Campaign.

WAYS and means to continue the ad-
vertising propaganda for the Hawai-
ian pineapple. getting price for it
more profitable than in previous sea-
sons, and bringing all pineapple grow
ers together into an organization for
mutual interest, were the principal
points Of discussion yesterday noon at
meeting Of representatives of various
pineapple companies. No decision was
arrived at and no action taken.
The pineapple people met at a
luncheon given at the Young Hotel by
Theodore Richards in honor of his
brother Jos Richards, who is the head
of the advertising firm in New York
which during the past two years has
handled the advertising of Hawaiian
pineappes through the principal maya
zines and smaller publications on the
mainland.
After the luncheon Mr.. Richards
made statement in the nature Of a
report of what had been done. He
highly complimented James Dole, presj-
dent of the Hawaiian Pineapple Com
pany, upon his handling Of the matter
from the pineapple growers stand
point. Dole having been the inferno
diary Of the growers association,
and the advertising men. He also
thanked the members for the confidence
which thew had shown in the mana ge-
ment Of the advertising campaign. tuT
having allowed it t. be conducted ac-
cording 10 the best Judgment Of those
in charge, instead Of interfering or
bampering it with suggestions and
criticisms.
Mr.. Richards stated that the cam
paign fer two years had cost approx
matcIy $4,000. and that it was com
mon talk among advertising men that
more general interest had been excited
throughout the United States by the
y peappIe campaign and literature than
for like amount Of money had ever
been accomplished it any other adyer-
tisir1 propaganda. He further stated,
with all due muicStr. that there were

announcement of Doctor

~ afternoon, was the late Doctor
yo,b. news of whose death was re
.sved here last week.
II has long been generally under
sand that Doctor Koch's visit TO Ha-
r,ii two years ago had a good deal
n do with the new policy adopted by
4. government not long after his de
,.tnre, but how great was his infu-
.,,e has been little suspected.
Governor Frear, on being asked yes
t,-day in regard to the effect of Doctor
gshs visit, replied that it had
qsat deal to do with the adoption Of
new eprosy policy by the govern
nppt. "Although the subject had al
psdv been taken up by the govern
neut." stated Governor Frear, "espe-
tsly in view of the unsatisfactory
working Of the law enacted by the
srslature of 1907. yet the conference
With Doctor Koch led to more i'm
prtant changes in the method of
handling this question.
San outline of the proposed changes
vas made and presented to the board
health in the summer of 1908 and
favorable resolution of general
nture was adopted by the board. The
l1t spring the Republican party
adopted the new policy in its platform

Of important changes. Among other
hngs it provided for obtaining con
tol Of suspects and of examining them

sired by the patients, in order to Sc
cure their release in case Of cure or
IN ease it is found that they did not
nave the disease at any time.
1.-THE bill provided also for careful
and somewhat lengthy treatment IN
hospitals before removal to the Settle
hent. The general objects Of the new
policy were to emphasize treatment
more and segregation less than pre-
Sloasly and to mitigate the hardshlps
q Tar as possible and to secure ac-
eafaey and certainty upon the question
whether or not a person IS atfIct-
% with the disease. both with refer
saee to segregation and to release.
The carrying out Of this new policy
low well under way. The necessary
4aa has been secured and hospitals
dld other Institutions erected for segre-
s.aon and treatment. Also a number
" persons previously segregated have
already been released. -
