Yakima Can DO Well.
Some thirty business men and fruit
growers met with Ken II. Rice of
Spokane at the Commercial club
rooms Friday and discussed tho prop
osition. Mr.. Rice pointed out that ii
is impossible to hold any national
apple show at Chicago except that
represented by his people as there
are but two suitable buildings one Of
which Is not available. The other Is
for the exhibit of the Spokane Ma
tional Show people. Mr.. Rice pointed
out that Yakima last year took more
p ICES than it had exhibits and it was
declared during the debate that this
had not paid sufficient attention to
making box and plate exhibits.
Messrs, Alex. Miller, w. p. Sawyer
w. Z. Romans. w n. Irish w. NJ
Nelson. T.. Remy, w. l.. Lemon and
others took pat in the debate which
at first indicated some opposition 20
the Spokane idea. Gradually, how
eve, the cloquencc, silence and pa
tience of Mr.. Rice won out and tn,
sentiment grew that this is not the
year to make an independent effort al
Chicago and also not the wear to
cut loose from Spokane.
