ROBBED ENTIAI
GROWERS
Secured Three Carloads of
Peaches and No Returns
Are Obtainable.

Entiat fruit growers this year
nave had very costly experience in
selling fruit to irresponsible buyers.
Early in the season Bellinger G. Son.
OF Everett, contracted for the
peaches of S. L. Packwood, ]. A. Nc
Arthur and E. l.. Moody. These
men were TO receive 4Oc a box for
their peaches at the wharf boat. A
few smaller shipments were paid for
at once, but the three latter carloads
shipped over early this month were
refused on the track. The growers
were not notified, and after the
peaches had remained on the track
some ten days or two weeks, Roy
Thayer, of the G. & o. company, was
notified by the railway company
that the peaches had been refused.
He communicated with the Entiat
shippers and all three of the men
went to Everett to investigate. s.
l.. PackwoOd was given a check on
the Everett bank for the total
amount of his shipment, but it was
after banking hours when the check
was given him and he came over
here before it was presented TO the
bank for payment. The check passed
through one of the local banks and
was refused at Everett Neither Nc
Arthur nor Moody could obtain any
sort of settlement. The three cars
contained at least 5000 boxes of
peaches and is a considerable loss.
An attempt will be made TO prose-
cute Bellinger criminally Finance
ally he is said to be irresponsible,
and the Entiat men are very indig-
nart at the way they have been
treated.

MANY ORCHARDS WILL NET
OWNERS $1,000 PER ACRE
Apple Crop Estimates in Central Washington Getting
Larger Every Day-Many Growers Forced to Buy Is
to 20 Per Cent More Boxes Than They Had Planned
Good Orchards Produce $500 to $1,000 Per Acre

That many orchards in the Wen
atchee valley will net the owners
$1,000 per acre this year is a state
ment which to the ordinary man
seems impossible. Only those who
have lived or have visited some of
the orchards of Central Washington
can believe it, yet it is absolutely
true. This statement is made while
the fruit is on the trees and the
truthfulness of the statement can
be proven by a visit through the or
chards. 1t was known early in the
season that there would be big
crop of fruit this year. The large
acreage of younger trees that are
coming into bearing will do much
.oward increasing the output for
this reason, but the figures are go
ing to exceed expectation. Nearly
every grower in the valley has found
il necessary to buy more boxes than
he had decided was necessary earlier
in the season. A large percentage
of the growers will have to buy from
Is per cent to 20 per cent more in
their second order.
$500 Per Acre Very Common.
To net $500 per acre in year in
the Wenatchee valley is very COM
mon and many orchards are aver
aging far beyond that year after
year-in fact, some of the best or
chards in the valley have been net
ting their owners close to $1,000
per acre for the past four seasons.
The oldest trees in the valley, viz,
those which were planted thirty
years ago are still heavily loaded
with fruit each year and have been
so every year since they were five
years old.
Averages Six Boxes Per Tree.
The person who wishes to know
the real value of the land in the
Wenatchee valley desires to know
something about the average num-
Der of boxes produced to the acre.
Six years ago c. S. Crider, at that

has ten acres of trees 6 years old. 1t
is estimated that his crop will be
close to $500 boxes. His trees are
all of the best varieties. and it is
safe to estimate his crop at s1.25 per
box net. At this rate his 10 acres
will net him close to $4,000.
Six Trees Will Produce $40 Boxes.
George Farwell owns six trees
which he estimates will produce 24O
boxes of apples. His Winesap trees
are from to II years old and will
run from Il to 25 boxes.
$4,000 Boxes From Is Acres.
Mike Koran has / ) acres of apple
trees which he estimates will pro-
duce 10000 boxes of fruit. OF these
g. to 20 per cent will be extra fancy
Last year his 15 acres produced
5000 boxes, and the year before he
picked 5000 boxes from the same
acreage.
Nine Acres Produce $500 Boxes.
0. E. Loving has acres of Or
chard which will produce $500 boxes
of apples. His varieties are the JON
athan, Yellow Newtown, Rome Beau
", Winesap and Spitzenberg. His or
chard will net him about $500 per
acre above expenses of picking, pack
ing and boxing
Four Year-Olds Average One Box Per
Tree.
The Olds company, on Burch Flat,
owns Is acres of King David trees
only four years old, which will pro-
duce an average of one box per tree.

time secretary of the Wenatchee
Produce company, made an estimate
that the trees in bearing, including
those of five years of age produced
at an average of six boxes per tree
With a constantly increasing num-
Der of trees coming into bearing
each year since that time it may be
said that this figure is not far from
correct and may go down as an av-
erage for this valley. An acre con-
tains approximately 100 trees. The
average orchard therefore will pro-
duce 500 boxes to the acre when
six years old, increasing on an av-
erage of one box per tree until the
tree is 15 years of age. In ether
words, a ten year old tree should
produce ten boxes and fifteen
year old tree 10 boxes.
Net $1,000 Per Acre.
Jack Lillis is picking his Rome
Beauties. One car has already been
shipped. From 143 trees he will
have 2400 boxes to pack out besides
200 more which are on the ground
These trees occupy one and one-half
acres of ground and it is safe to say
that the fruit from this small patch
will bring close to $4,000.
Last year this acre and a half of
Rome Beauties produced 1000 box
es, for which Mr.. Lillis received
$3.50.
From sixty trees of another war;
iety the owner will pick 900 boxes
Last year from 125 trees of Wine
saps, there was picked 500 boxes.
The same trees this year will pro-
duce 1900 boxes.
The seven-acre orchard taken as
a whole will yield close to 5000
boxes and will net the owner after
paying the costs of picking, packing
and boxing, close to $1,000 per acre
This orchard adjoins town on the
north, and the owner has refused
$4,000 per acre for it. AS an evil

avenue will pick 5000 boxes OF ap-
plies from GOA trees. From the prices
prevailing the orchard will bring in
a gross income of $500 and will
net the owners $4,000 to $4,000.
The trees are nine years Old Last
year the same trees produced 5000
boxes which brought in a gross sum
OF $4,000 or a net profit of over
$4,000. The year before these 604
trees produced net profit Of
$4,000.
$1,000 Worth of Fruit.
S. H. VIM, of Walla Walla ave-
nue., has 500 trees seven and eight
years old which will produce an aver
age Of boxes per tree this year
These trees will bring in $40 per
tree or $4,000 for the yaer. Last
year. with short crop, they pro-
duced s1,70O worth of fruit
1000 BoXes-1O Acres.
y. w. Roderick, of Walla Walla
avenue, will take from his orchard
of ten acres 1000 boxes of apples.
Part of the trees have been worked
over and some of them are young
this fact, however,
the orchard will produce big aver
age crop and there will be close to
$1,000 per acre taken from it this
year The trees are nine years old
Last year the orchard produced
3,400 boxes of fruit which brought
the owner an average price of SITS
chard produced $500 boxes 1t was
sold when there was a panic on at
$1.10 per box, and at that time
brought in 1852 per acre or close to
$500 per acre net.
Eight Acres Produce 5000 Boxes.
Thomas C Rose has eight acres
of apple trees years old which will
produce 5000 boxes of apples. After
deducting the cost of picking, pack
ing and boxing, his apple orchard
will net him close to $500 per acre
He also had 10000 boxes of peaches
this year which he picked from Z
acres. He received 35 cents per box
Will Net Over $1,000 Per Acre.
c. NJ Francis, who purchased the
DR.. Gilchrist 5-acre orchard at the
corner of Washington and Miller
streets, has picked 325 loose boxes
of apples from II trees of the Grimes
Golden variety. One tree alone pro-
duced 5000 boxes of fruit. With
even very low price for his fruit
the orchard will net him over $1,000
per acre Mr. Francis is an old
steamboat man who formerly was
master of one of the boats on the
Mississippi river. He came here
early this spring and purchased this
orchard, paying for it $4,000 per
acre.
2,175 Boxes From Five Acres.
Adjoining the Francis orchard is
the young orchard belonging to N.
D. Heath. These trees are years
old. Eighty-five Jonathan trees are
producing on an average of six boxes
per tree; 1875 Winesap trees are aver
aging six boxes to the tree, while IS
Black Twigs are producing on an
average Of 10 boxes per tree. In
other words Mr.. Heath will have
about 2,175 baxes of apples from his
five acres 1t is safe to say that his
orchard this year will net him, after
paying for picking, packing and box
ing. approximately $500 per acre.

OF
THE FIRE At PAIA

The Maui News gives the following
account of the fire at Paia, resulting
in the destruction of the big store
there:
A fire of unknown origin broke out
in the Paia store at Paia at half past
two this morning, Friday July %, and
completely destroyed the building ana
contents.
Messrs. Walter Engle and Richard
son who occupied a cottage back OF
the store were the first to discover
the fire and they hurriedly telephoned
to manager f. p. Rosecrans and sum.
moned help but the fire had gained
too great a Roadway to enable those
who came to save anything or even to
enter The burning building. Apparent
ly the fire started from the neighbor-
hood of the paint and oil room in the
rear portion of the store.
The plantation office which adioined
the store was also totally destroyed,
but the plantation people were able to
remove and save all of the valuables,
books and records before the office
building was destroyed.
A large merchandise warehouse ad-
joining the store was also burned, but
through the combined efforts of the
people who had hurried to the scene
a second merchandise warehouse
which was at a little distance from
the store was saved.
A conservative estimate of the loss
is 100000, which is fully covered by
insurance. The origin of the fire re-
mains a mystery at this writing, but
so far no suspicion of incendiarism is
advanced, and may have been caused
by spontaneous combustion from the
fact that the blaze started from the
neighborhood of the oil and paint
room.
Manager Rosecrans has opened up
temporary quarters in the warehouse
saved from the fire, ard is conducting
the business of he store and waiting
on his customers Friday morning,
even before the members of the burn
ed building have cooled and turned to
everyday ashes. The plantation Of
flee force has opened up in the labora-
tory building and are attending to rou-
tine business matters as if nothing
had occurred to mar or disturb the
even current of their every day la
bors.

are already planning early trips to
Honolulu. On his return to the
Islands, Secretary Wood Of the Pro
motion Committee, will call at Spo-
kane and give them another round Of
Hawaii dope.
After the business Of the meeting had
been disposed of the committeeman
took up a number of topics, one Of
them being the subject Of coffee. Com
plant has been made that Hawaiian
coffees are being blended in such a
way that the individuality is lost and
the superiority of the local product
not appreciated. Mr.. McTnerny, who
is taking immense interest in coffee,
reported a visit from an eastern bust
ness man who offered to take and
market the whole of the Hawaiian
coffee crop at good prices, provided
he could be certain that the real arti-
Gle was delivered to him.
1t seemed to be the impression OF
some of the members of the commit
tee that the coffee growers were get
ting the short end anyway, as a result
of the absence of competition for the
purchase of their product. 1t was
stated that there were only two OIL
three buyers, with the result that the
growers really received very little foi
the output.
However, this is a phase of the
subject which will be taken up and in
vestigated fully later on. At present
the committee will endeavor to see
that only the pure article of Hawaiian
coffee is sold as such in the market

TENDENCY Of SUGAR
MARKET FAVORS SELLERS

Willett & Gray's sugar letter of July
Z, which arrived in the mail this MORN
ing, contained the following in regard
to raw sugars:
The interesting feature this week in
our report is the statistics, given else
where, of the total consumption of SUI
gar in the United States for the six
months ending June 30th of this year,
as compared with the same periods Of
two preceding years. These figures
, show consumption of 1,611,S2 tons,
against 1,6O2,9O7 tons last year, and t.
5S6,SS9 tons in 1908. 1t will be noted
from the invisible stocks of refined
mostly in refiners' hands, that the
MEETINGS or production of refined su
gar has been greater than the re
quirements for consumption This in
visible supply will disappear during
the last six months of the year.
Considering all conditions of trade,
the actual consumption of sugar must
be considered satisfactory, although
slightly under the normal.
The time for improvement in prices
of raw sugars has at length arrived,
The stocks held in Cuba are now I'M
der full control, and prices can be
asked for the same more nearly based
upon the price Of beet sugars of the
