Dumas ever shipped any defective ap-
Piles. There is no showing what these
defective apples consisted of. 1 sup
pose Mr.. Dumas would have the same
thing TO say in that connection if
he were here; but. however that may
be. one swallow does not make a sum-
mer. l do not care. so far as the
principles involved in this bill are
concerned, If Mr.. Dumas did sell a
shipment of defective apples. That
does not alter the case a particle. If
Mr.. Dumas did what he ought not to
do, there is no reason why deception
should be encouraged in this law, and
there is no reason why the rest of the
fruit growers in the northwest are not
willing to live up to a good law. which
requires practically all perfect apples
in box that are put out as perfect
apples.
Mr.. w. II. Bahrenburs. But Mr.
Dumas was here as the president of
society. If 1 am no mistaken. and also
represented the people of the great
northwest.
Mr.. Poindexter. Well. I hope he did
not ship a carload of defective apples
as representing the great northwest o.
as representing the horticultural So
cietY. He did it as an individual if he
did it at all, even If he was, at the
same time, an official of the horticul-
tural society. In the first place, | do
not admit the fact, but, conceding for
the purposes of argument that it is
true, that he did that, it does not in
any way tend to enlghten this com
mittee as to the character of the nrin-
ciple to be followed in the enactment
of this bill. 1t can be used in oppo-
sition to the low standards that are
fixed by this bill with much greater
effect than it can be used by this as
ISOLATION of shippers in favor of the
bill.
Good Work in West.
81 only have another word to say
Now, the apple industry in the great
northwest is very young. The grow
ers have gone there under all kinds
of difficulties when they first started.
This industry took land that nobody
supposed was good for anything, I'M
der bad conditions, some of them I'M
dergoing the deprlvations of pioneer
life in new communities. They be-
gan experimenting with the apple
growing industry, and they developed
this industry. I vii say, to their credit,
that not only were they able to survive
the difficult conditions under which
they were working, but they set ii
standard for the packing and market |
ing of apples through all parts Of the
country. All the evidence through out
the country points to the fact that
there is growing tendency TO box ap- |
pies instead of barrel apples. Their
mills are arranged there so as to make |
the component parts of their boxes
with a certain class of machinery. |
They even use certain size of these
boxes as being adapted to the size
of their apples. Now, if there Is !
going to be a standard blshcd,
it seems to me that all reason would
point to the adoption of that box
which has taken the leading place
in the market and has made for itself
a special comercial name and reputa-
ton.

FIND SMUDGE. POTS
TO BE. EFFECTIVE,
Messrs. Stein and Thomson Raise
Temperature in Their Orchard
an Average of 8 Degrees.

Messrs. Stein g. Thomson. horticul-
tursts of East Yakima avenue, eX

for the past two or three days and
with excellent success so far as the
conditions within the orchard We're
concerned. Whether they saved any

10 not know whether it would have
been killed had they not established
artificial conditions and temperature
within their orchard area. They do
know, however, that the trees within
the influence of their smudge pots
have not been damaged.
BY using so smudge pots to an acre
Messrs. Stein e Thomson were en-
abled to take care of six acres of bear
ing trees with the 800 pots they OBJ
tanned this year. Because of the in
ability of manufacturers to deliver
pots which had been ordered home
make was used, some of them being
really home made and some the Yak
ina pot known as the Huntley. BY
using these with crude oil the tenn
perature of the orchard was raised an
average of eight degrees ana the
smudge, Of course, was as heavy or
light as was desired.
The thermostat in use is set at 50
degrees, which is freezing point. 1t
was after 2 o'clock one morning and
after 3 o'clock the next morning when
the alarm rang and within an hour
all the pots were at work and the tenn
perature was rising. Near to the or

biography, you doubtless remember
that in the chapter in which he deals
with the Mason and Slidell affair, he
states that Lady Russell, whose hus-

derstand that Queen Victoria was our
friend, thereby assuring him, by in
direction, that he need have no fear

AFTER THE OIL TRUST.

The Sherman anti-tr law. which
is the one under which all degal
actions against the trusts must be
brought. will get thorough test in
the case which has just been submitted
before the United States Supreme
Court by the department of justice, it
being the governments case for the
dissolution of the Standard Oil Com
pany. The brief, which has been
filed by the government, and which is
the foundation of its oral argument in
the case, contains 1000 pages and is
devoted largely to an analysis of the
testimony taken in the circuit court
of the United States for the eastern
district of Missouri, which decreed
that the Standard Oil trust be dissolv-
ed
The government declares that it
shows rebates and discriminatory rates
received by the Standard Oil combina-
tion, whereby it was enabled to bring
a large part of its concerns into COM
bination and to crush out and eli
minte from its field the principal part
of the balance.
It is also claimed by the govern
ment that it shows a system of lower
ing prices where competitors are doing
Unsatisfactory the cost of produc-
tion-whiIe keeping up or raising
prices in other parts of the country,
until the competitor is either eliminat-
ed or his business brought within
compass so that the Standard Oil
Company can control it, also that the
trust obtained secret information as
to competition business, largely
through the bribing of railway en-
ployes, and using that secret informa-
tion to procure countermanding of
orders given to independent companies
and to divert such business to itself.
The policy of the present ad-
ministration seems to be: ''Either
the Sherman act should be enfored to
make the people respect it or it should
be repealed.

OUR HOME MARKET.

The style of living has advanced
so much in the past ten years that we
are rapidly becoming a nation of
buyers rather than sellers. Our ex-
ports are falling off Tremendously and
our imports are increasing in like
ratio. Take it in the matter of dairy
products. We used to export large
quantities of butter and cheese. To-
day we are importing large quantities.
We used to sell wheat to foreign
nations. Now our own people are
using up our surplus and we are i'm
porting -four. The annual expenditure
of money in the cost of living has
increased wonderfully in the last few
years and largely so because we have
elevated the standing-o of our living.
Whether that is blessing or curse
remains to be seen. But of one
thing we are sure: We cannot keep
our money and spend it too. We
cannot spend money on luxuries and
have it in the bank. 1t is rather queer
that there should be ten times the
kicking against the prices of food that
there is against the prices of furniture,
carpets, silks, millinery goods. auto
mobiles. etc. The reason why we
have less money to spend for good food
may be because we have spent it on
luxuries. Most people live for their
neighbours eyes more than they do for
the actual necessities of life and
so all Europe is sending us articles of
luxury to suit our advanced notions of
living. Elk Governor Hoard.

information was told to me shortly
after the death of Queen Victoria by
Frederick w. Seward, our assistant
secretary of state during the civil war.
"The day before Lady Russell spoke
to Mr.. Weed" said Mr.. Seward, "a
number of the British cabinet ladies,
including Lady Russell, met at Lady
Palmerstons house to take luncheon,
think. At all events, they were chat
ting when the prime minister himself
came abruptly into the room. The
ladies saw at once that he was greatly
irTitated about something. He carried
his dispatch book, which showed that
he had been with the queen. He threw
it, half angrily, upon the table, and,
after giving the ladies a greeting that
was almost curt, he stalked out OF the
room.
Something must have gone wrong
at the cabinet meeting Lady Palmer
ston announced to her guests. Then
she beheld the dispatch book still ~

cred there the draft of the letter
which the cabinet had prepared for
Lord Lyons, the British minister at
Washington, to present to this govern

ROOSEVELT AND THE STUMP.

The report from Washington that
the Republican congressional COM
mittee. aided and abetted by the party
leaders. is planning stumping tour
for Theodore Roosevelt in the ap-
preaching campaign, may be taken
with large grain of salt.
The very notion of former presi-
dent taking the stump as a mere
matter of party expedience is silly.
President Taft is the last Republic
can in this country who weuld request
or even desire that the nam who stood
sponsor to his candidacy should put
Q. K. on his administration, and the
Republican leaders are not such chill
dren as to believe that Theodore
Roosevelt is the one to lend himself
to any scheme by which he would
pull their chestnuts out of the fire.
The chances are that the former
president will hold himself aloof from
any comment on the situation within
his party, but if he does. it will be
at time and in a manner COMFORTING
with the dignity of his position.
We have not the slightest doubt
that any statment Mr.. Roosevelt may
choose to make will be favorable TO
the present administration. Every
tie of friendship and policy would ally
him with his former secretary.
