ENTIRE APPLE CROP SOLD.
Hood River Fancy Apples Bring Over
Half Million Dollars.

Hood River-The largest deal for
fancy apples ever made on the Ameri-
can continent was consummated at
Hood River, recently when Steinhart &
Kelly, the big New York commission
firm, purchased the entire output from
Hood River orchards. The crop this
year will amount to 400 cars, or about
$50, 600 boxes, consisting of Spitzen-
bergs, Newtowns,. Arkansas Blacks,
Ortleys and Jonathans.
This sale cleans up the entire Hood
River crop and is the largest single
purchase ever made by one firm. The
price. will aggregate considerably over
$5O0,0O0. Joseph Steinhart was pres
ent iHa:person and made the purchase
after having been in Hood River but a
few hours.
NAThfs Is the third consecutive year
thatthis firm has bought, the entire
apple output of the Hood Riyer valley.
The purchase was made through the
Hood River Apple Growers union, that
controls nearly 40 per cent. of the Hood
River apples. The prices will not be
made public until after the other crops
of the Northwest have been sold, but it
was. stated by !. the directors of, the
union that the prices paid were highly
satisfactory as compared with other
years. Consignments will be forward
ed to New York Immediately after
packing, which will begin in few
weeks.
The Davidson Fruit company, of
Hood River, closed a. deal for its entire
output of Mosier Spitzenbergs, Yellow
Newtowns and Orange Reds, that will
total about 1900 boxes. While the
prices received will not be made public
it is. stated that they run very high.
The Mosier crop was sold through the
Mosier Fruit Growers union. The
Davidson Fruit company purchased the
entire Hood River apple crop three
years ago and made a f1attering offer
for this seasons crop few weeks ago,
that they have since withdrawn, and
which was made for immediate ac-
ceptance.

S57, 500 DISAPPEARS
Gold Bullion From Alaska Replaced
BY Lead Bars.


Seattle-Gold bullion valued at $751;
500, part of shipment of $l70, 900
from the Washington-Alaska Bank of
Fairbanks, Alaska, to the Dexter
Horton national bank of Seattle, on
the steamship Humboldt, was stolen in
transit and lead substituted in the
strong box that had contained the bull
lion.
The gold when it left Fairbanks on
Yukon river steamer for Dawson and
White Horse was contained in three
wooden boxes and was in care of the
Alaska Pacific Express company. When
the boxes were opened by the Canadian
customs officers at Dawson the gold
bars were found to be as stated in the
express company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office in Seattle,
and one contained pigs of lead, not of
gold. The seals of the box were in
tact when it reached the office, and it
was evident that the robbery had been
committed by removing one end of the
box. The gold was insured against
loss by the express company.

Prose Poet Is Eound Dead

Philadelphia-Believed to have COM

get relief from the pangs of an in
ternal disorder, John Scanlon, better
known under his pen name of "Walt.
Mason" was found dead in his studio
at 9l3 Arch street. The discovery
was due to a search made by a sister,
who had not heard from him for long
er period than usual. In addition to
being an artist and illustrator, Scan
Ion, wrote poetry in prose in humor-
GUS style which was published in sew
eral of the leading magazines.

HILL TO TAP COAST.
Road viii Be Pushed Through to
Los Angeles, Is Rumor,

Los Angeles-W -Well-informed rail
road men believe that to all intents anc
purposes Jane j. Hill has, or is about
to force way through to this Coast
for his trains.
Hill has for some time controlled 9
line to Benson, Ariz., within so miles
of this city. He is master of the Bur
lington, reaching with its main line to
Denver, and the Colorado & Southern
from Denver to Fort Worth.
Handing the reins of the latter line
to Hill was one of the biggest mistakes
ever made by the late E. II. Harri-
man, because at Dallas the Colorado &
Southern crosses the Rock Island,
which operates over the Phelps Dodge
road, the Ell Paso Southwestern, to Ell
Paso, whence trains come over the
Southern Pacific. The Phelps-Dodge
line continues, however, to Benson,
and its owners have arranged to build
TO Phoenix.
/. These interests are at war with the
Southern Pacific, and it is understood
they have, track-right arrangement
with the Santa Fe, which will be high
ly advantageous to the latter when the
new link is built.
There is every reasoh.to expect, au-
thorities declare, from that connection
Hill, through his Phelps Dodge. infu-
ence, will operate to this coast over
the Santa Fe via the Parker cutoff

CAR FERRY SINKS;
80 PERSONS PERISH

Ludington, Mich, Sept. 10.-Thirty
lives were lost today when Pere Mar
quette ferry No. Is, bound from Lud-
ington to Milwaukee, went to the bot
tom of Lake Michigan. The dead in
clude Captain Peter Kitty, Of Luding-
ton; S. F, Sezepanek, of Chicago,
purser and wireless operator, whose
signals of distress brought assistance
to the sinking steamer, and two men,
bers of the crew of car ferry No. II,
who lost their lives in an effort to res
cue the crew of No. 49,
Ely Colbean, of Saginaw; Mich, "a
member of the crew of No. 18, would
make the 3lst victim, but it is believ-
ed he was not on board when No. 18
| foundered.
The steamship company issued list
of 45 names of survivors of the wreck,
all members of the crew, most Of
whom were brought here tonight on
Pere Marquette No. II. Eight bodies
were recovered.
Today's disaster is one Of the worst
in the history of navigation on Lake
Michigan. The car ferry Pere Mar
quette, No, Is was the flagship of a
fleet of six steel car ferries owned and
operated by the Pere Marquette Rail-
road company.
The boat was valued at $400,0 900,
and the cargo, which included 20 load
ed cars. at $10O, 600 to $150,0O0. The
total loss will exceed $500,000, which
is fully covered by insurance in Lloyd's
in England.
Gerry No. 18 sinking. HelpP' was
the wireless message that brought
the first news of the disaster to this
city about 5 o'clock this morning.
The flash was repeated continually for
nearly an hour, but was unsigned.
The cause of the disaster is mys-
terry. Among the survivors the con-
clusion seems to be that the car ferry's
after water compartment filled through
an open or broken headlight, which was
followed at the last minute by burst
ing of bulkheads.
Leaving Ludington at 80 o'clock
last night with fair, but stiff, wind,
and carrying 29 loaded cars, the ferry
made good weather for five hours on
its course to Milwaukee.
At 1880 o'clock word was sent to
Captain Kitty that his boat was rapid
ly making water aft and that the
p,1pnDc uyara unable m kaaY, avan with
the inflow. Kitty headed his ship with
all speed toward Sheboygan on the
Wisconsin shore, and as the water
gained nine cars were dropped off the
stern of the ferry to Tighten her, but
this gave the vessel only slight and
temporary relief. At 7 80 a. m. the
boats buoyancy could no longer sus-
tain it, and she plunged beneath the
water.

LOCATE THE LEAKS
Taft viii Find Out i Running Ex-
pGnsGS Can Be Reduced
President to Find Out Truth of AID
rch's Statement That $780,
100000 Can Be Saved.

Beverly, Mass force of experts
will be put to work shortly in the de-
partments of the government at Wash
ington to locate the "leaks". Taft
wants to know how much of the $780,
900, 900 that Senator Aldrich says he
could save the government by conduct
ing it on business lines can really be
saved.
If it is possible to conduct the gov
ernment on the lines of well-run bus
mess establishment, the president
wants to know it. If not, why not.
Every department is to be gone
through minutely. The wastes are to
be noted, lost motion located, duplica-
tions marked and arational economy
made the watchword.
At meeting of the cabinet, which
has been called for September "a, and
which will be succeeded by series Of
such meetings from day to day, for
week, the matter of economy will be
one of the subjects discussed. The
president is looking to the development
of some practical plan whereby the end
which he has in view may be accom-
plshed.
After the manner in which he went
about selecting stocks and bonds COM
mission, the president is proceeding
carefully in the organization of such a
corps of experts that will enable him
to get the best results with the $780,
900 appropriated by the last congress.
He already has had experience in fore
ing economy in the executive depart
ments of the government.
He Topped off $4,000, 900 from the
navy estimates last year, without in
iuring the standards of the navy, and
the army establishment underwent a
similar cut. He has enforced economy
in other departments, and is constantly
urging upon members of his cabinet
the necessity for holding down their
expenditures.
So far as is possible, it is desired
to get some capable and efficient Off
cial in each of the departments to offer
a comprehensive plan for reform. 1t
is not meant that this man shall be a
spy. But from his experience in the
department it is believed he ought to
be able to point out where there are
waste or other loose bus
mess methods.
