TREBIZOND, Armenia, May 2S 1910.
The terrible massa cres of Armenians in
October 1875, which Mortified the world,
began here in Trebizond. | asked DIR.
Crawford, an American who has spent
thirty years in this country, his opinion
OF the causes and motives.
For centuries the Armenian popula-
ton of the Oottoman empire has suffered
continuous cruelties and prosecutions,
said DR.. Crawford. 1T has suffered from
heavy taxation and unjust ways of col
lecting it; there has been no safety for
property. no protection for crops, which
were often stolen or destroyed, and the
wives and daughters were never safe.
Most of this persecution was due to
the kuDds, their semi-civilized neighbors
in kurdistan, the adjoining province to
Armenia on the east. Certain kurdish
chiefs levied blackmail upon Armenian
villages for their protection-that is, they
assessed tribute upon the inhabitants. in
exchange for which they protected them
against other kurds. Those who paid
this tribute were safe; those who did not
were never secure, either in life or prop
erty or in their families.

Emigration Growing.

"Formerly every man processing the
Christian faith from the date of his birth
| to the date of his death, had to pay SOL
tax year in lieu Of military service. be-
cause none but Moslems were admitted to
the army. That rule has been abolished
and members Of all religious faiths. Jews
and GentileS, are now eligible Tor military
service and are compelled to serve three
wears in the army when they become OF
age
| "Hence the increased emigration. which
is Incoming large. Some of our most
promising young men among the ArIhe-
mans and Greeks are going 10 america.
"Three of our own native teachers nave
left recently among others. to work IN
the shirt and collar factories or Troy, n
~ Others have gone to the shoe 1actorles
Of Massachusetts. to work In restauF antS
and to engage in other business IN the
I-nited States, where their friends nave

Cost of Living.
."rhe cost of living in Armenia has
been increasing gradually for several
ve.rs,, continued DR.. Crawford, which
;s . serious matter for% teachers as well
as for the pastors OF the Greek and
Armenian churches, who are poorly paid
and receive barely enough to buy their
food.
..The nastor of our Protestant church Is
being urged by friends to go to Dakota

SPOKANE WANTS TO
HOLD APPLE SHOW

In order to keep the national apple
show from going to Chicago this
year, the Spokane Apple Show Is
offering a proposition to the apple
growers OF the northwest, according
to the terms OF which prize winners
at Spokane are to be transported to
Chicago without cost to the dis.
triot from which they come, and
to be exhibited for eight days. The
details Of the plan are explained by
Secretary Rem Ii. Rice OF the Spo-
kane National Apple Show In letter
to the Commercial club. lie asks the
growers to determine as soon as pos
sible whether they are favorable TO
the plan.
According to the letter from Mr.
Rice, the plan will be to hold the
regular show in Spokane after which
the prize winners will be taken to
Chicago and exhibited for eight days
In the First Regiment Armory OF that
city. They figure on taking back
about ten carloads Of the prize fruit
about half OF which will consist
of carl DAD exhibits. The plan In.
cl udes large concert and entertain
ment features to help draw the crowd.
The Spokane people are calling on
the other districts Of the Northwest
to finance the deal by paying Sl.2a
per square foot for private ex'
hihition space at the show.

OIL : GONIANS SHOW
UP LAFEAN BILL
EASTERNER FORCED TO OWN AIM
Joe Wilson Tells of Meeting of North
western Men with Committee
on Agriculture.

In the hearing before the house
Committee on Agriculture in Wash
ington Friday, when Joseph A. Will
son, Of this city, aud other iepresen-
tstives of the Northwestern apple
growers appeared to set forth the OBJ
jeotious of this section to the Lafean
apple package bill which Is now before
Congress, a New York man was forced
to acknowledge in the hearing that the
object of the measure was to drive the
western apples out of the market.
Besides gaining this acknowledg-
ment which should prove a stumbling
block 30 the supporters of the bill,
the Oregon representatives showed
that the box used in the Northwest
contained more htan bushel and
that when the Colorado "jumble"
pack was used the lid could not be
put on the box, thus demonstrating
that the Oregon pack will run more
apples than the Colorado style In q
larger box. Following Ia a letter
written by Mr.. Wilson to the Apple
Growers Union which explains the
situation:
New willard Hotel, Washington, DC.
March IL, 1910.
Apple Growers Union, Hood River.
Gentlemen-ArIived at 10 a. M, to.
day, hunted up Hawley's office and
found he was with the committee on
| Agriculture, His clerk piloted me to
the scene OF battle and when arrived
Whistler was speaking. Then Il. K.
Lake, myself and Newell spoke. Un-
fortunately the two boxes of Hood
River apples are not here, but Newell
brought two boxes of Lownsdale's and
they we're we'll packed. Took them out
of box and they filled half bushel
measure (heaping) twice. / think
this disconnected the opposition more
than any one thing. Then we took
the other box and packed 1t as they
do In Colorado (jnmtle paok) and we
could not get the cover on. The
apples we're too high. We fought
them coming and going and had de-
oidely the best of the discussion.
Scott, chairman OF the Committee
on Agriculture gave us all posi- BILE
opportunity to present. our case. He
asked Sohatier, of New York, several
pointed questions about the objects Of
the proposed bill, and finally got him

western apples out OF the market.
Hon. W. q. Hawley made a splen-
did plea for the northwest box apples
as graded and packed at present.

gressmanl was present. There we're
men from Spokane, Wenatchee and
some others, nune from California,
