Horticultural Union Puts Extra
Force on to Handle the
Foreign Shipments.
WORK GROWING FASTER
AS SEASON ADVANCES
Thousand Cars Have Already
Been Shipped Out of North
Yakima and Over 1000 Over
the Railroad.

A night crew started TO work Mon
day at the horticultural union getting
out apples. The night crew will work
from I o'clock at night until s o'clock
in the morning and loading cars will
be the principal work. The union Is
now engaged in getting out apples to
fill the order OF J. Nichols OF Lon
don, England, already referred to in
the Herald. Mr.. Nichols is anxious
to get out 20 carloads of his order
this week and it was largely for this
reason that the night crew was placed
on duty.
F. f. Moline of the refrigerator car
service reports that all indications are
that the shipping business will under
go rapid increase this week as the
fruit is moving more rapidly each day.
He is anxious to run the valley total
up to rs cars a day which will double

Figures for the Season.
Fruit shipped from eastern Wash
ington over the Northern Pacific rail-
road since July last and up TO Sum
day morning last was a total of 20SS
some l5e cars for the walla Walla,
district which got out 103 cars Of
peaches and almost so carloads Of ap-
pies The peach shipments, including
those from Walla Walia, were a total
OF 1879 cars. The shipments from
North Yakima this season of all kinds
of carload fruit not including express
have been an aggregate Of about 1000
cars. At least they had reached the
ssS point Monday and last nights
work will run the total over the four
figure mark.
Estimates. az previously stated, of
the apple crop of the valley this seas
on run from about 1900 cars to $500
cars. The crop is coming in heavily
and il will be no surprise if the total
runs above 5000 cars.

Center of Portland Finan-

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 10.-A sa-
loon located in the heart of Portland

in daring manner by three unmask-
ed robbers. From the till and from
the proprietor and two companions,
about $50 in money and three gold
watches valued by the owners at a
total Of $3.50, were secured.
The three robbers on entering, left
one of their number at the door as
a guard and the other two covering

or have their cans shot full of holes

money. Judge had placed the re-
ceipts of his bar in the safe and when
the robber found only SIS in small
change in the cash register he order

avoided doing this on the plea that
he was only a bartender and did moi
have the combination.
The robbers then departed. all three
victims gave a complete description
of the thugs and the police expect tC
have them behind the bars before
morning.

FINDS THAT YAKIMA
IS BEST COUNTRY
Man Who Went Overland In Cali
fornia is Disappointed GREW
ously in What He Saw.

). Z. Kinney, manager of the Tie
ton hotel, received a letter Monday
which expresses WILDLY the feeling of
try to hunt up a better place, and
who travelled overland through Ore
gon and into California. His letter
speaks for itself. The writer, dating
his letter at Marysville, Oct. 7, says:
I'VE arrived here at p. m. today
and to say it is rotten is a very mild
expression indeed; dirty old, rough
and about so years behind the times.
1--WE have seen lots of country since
ing to compare with it in any way.
The Willamette valley was a great
to me, and now the
Sacramento valley is more so. This
is the hottest place a man ever tried
to exist in, I am sure. To try to tell
about it is impossible. Have suffered
more with the heat in three days than
a man could in a lifetime in Yakima.
Have come over the most barren
country for two days that you or any
one else ever saw-thousands Of acres
of just waste rocks, with some graz
ing land in spots. Have had no rain
here since March and no Irrigation
80 you can imagine what such a coun-
try looks like.
And then the towns. Oh, my!
In comparison with Yakima you can
rest assured that unless I see lots bet
ter than l have, l will be back to
Gods country"

H. Stanley Coffin will ship today to

by him. Mr.. Coffin has been getting

Practically but one lot of mutton sheep
has been sent east this season to the
Chicago market, that being lot which
went from this valley about three
weeks ago and which sold at a good
price All the mutton sheep and lambs
raised in this portion Of the state have
been sold this year on the coast ex-
cept the one lot named. This means
practically, that the coast demand is
now so large that it can consume all
the home grown mutton and can offer
such prices that it will not pay to ship
east. TIE demand on the coast, nat
urally is growing, while the produce
ton in this section of the state Is les
SEEMING and will continue to lessen until
such time as every farmer raises a

Behold the Western Sky,
STATE WILL NOT TAMPER
WITH LIQUOR LAWS AGAIN

SEATTLE, Oct. 10.-The state Of
Washington will probably not tam
per with her laws governing the sale
OF liquor this year. and it appears
likely that Oregon will defeat pro-
hibiuon despite the active campaign
being made by the few workers in
that state. Having adopted local
option, Washington is trying to let
that law work out it's own salvation.
but whether it is success or not
remains to be seen. At the election
in November, seven cities in Wash
ington which previously had voted
dry" under local option, will hold
new elections on the much mooted
liquor question. In some Of these
towns the revenue from liquor IL
censes is sorely needed to keep down
taxes, while in others the business
men have suffered by the dry" pol
icy, much trade going to nearby
towns. On the other hand, many
wet communities will vote on the.
liquor question, and some of them
will go dry" This continual change
and unrest and repeted holding of
elections makes the legislators un-
certain as to the success Of the locar
option law, and they will not NEEDLE
with the question further until the
results of the present law become
more apparent
