sell at 10 cents each or three for a quar-

Other produce from the northwest comes

IAN apples sell on their merits, said
another prominent wholesaler in the com
mission district. "The northwest grows
the finest apples in the country, but the
price Is very high. Colorado raises some
first-class apples which are quoted on the
market now at SLS5 per box. The
market is now overstocked with cheap APP
pies which were stored last fan by the
farmers and are now wllted and %shrunkcu.
This ought to be a lesson to growers to sell
while the fruit is still sound and will COM
mand a good price. Last fall looked for
ward to making some money on apples, not
expecting the market to go all to pieces.
Apples are brought to the Omaha mar
ket from all over the United states where
they are grown and as a distributing point
Omaha reaches out locally all over Ne
braska, to the middle of Iowa and into
Missouri. Kansas, Minnesota South Dakota,
Wyoming and Colorado. In carload lots
apples are sent through Omaha all over the
United States.
California apples are large and choice
from the system Of irrigation and pruning
and all modern discoveries. but they have

But now omaha's fruit business Is in
creased decidedly every year, and more
shippers are being attracted to this point
as they find out its advantageous location
Tor distribution throughout the United
States for fruit grown in the west.
Besides having a superior location Just
east of the territory that raises the bulk of
the fine fruit of the country, Omaha is on
several transcontinental lines-the Rock
Island from FL Paso, the Chicago. Burling-
ton & Quincy, connecting with the North
ern Pacific, the Santa Fe, Denver &
Rio Grande, and the Union Uacific with
the Oregon Short Line, the Salt Lake Line
and the Southern Pacific. The through rate
applies over these lines, via Omaha, to all
points northwest and southwest of this city
through to the Atlantic coast. This makes
it possible for shipments to be made to
Omaha, inspection made here Of fruit and
prompt diversion made without any decided
delay in transit to any points east of here,
with through rate protected.
Apples From the Northwest.
"A considerable quantity Of apples are
brought from the northwest to Omaha and
shipped by jobbers, but no distribution. of
this supply is made from this point. The
bulk Of the northwest fruit goes over the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern.

eventually the distribution from that vast
apple empire will be made through Omaha,
when the people OF the northwest learn
how much more advantageous and profit

CENTER
we sell about 800 cars of citrus fruits
and $50 to S5 cars Of deciduous fruits in the
Omaha district In a year" said II. L. Pur-
ney, manager of the California Fruit Grow
erS' exchange In the Board of Trade build
ing. IAN this fruit is from California, and
Is billed direct to Omaha. Our Sunkist
brands, which come on special trains, are
often on the consumers table in Omaha
on the seventh morning after the fruit Is
picked In California. AS a rule the fruit is
picked and loaded Saturday in California,
leaves there Sunday morning and is in
Omaha the following Saturday morning.
Trains consist OF eighteen 10 thirty cars
all loaded with fruit, with a messenger
along to look after IL.
For the year endlng September l, 1909,
our company shipped east from California

the estimate of II.
ID. Foy, an extensive
seller and distributor
of fruits for various
associations in Cali
fornia, Utah and
Colorado.
More apples are
consumed here than
any other kind of
fruit. but home grown
varieties are used to
a large extent and the
western apples are
shipped farther east"
said Mr.. Foy. MY
estimate would be
that 1000 cars of cit
rus fruit are con-
stunned in the Omaha
district in a year and
1000 cars of banan-

ALCAzAR REEVES
POPULAR DRAMA
"The Two Orphans to Be Given
in Response to Many
Requests

THE Two Orphans" with Mrs. Lii
liam Birmingham, the noted contralto
as an additional attraction, will be the
Alcazar's offering for the coming week,
commencing Monday night Mrs. Biz
mingham, who has been engaged at a
big salary, viii appear at every per-
Torrance, singing the drinking song
from 'Bucretia Borgia" and the Bach
Gounod Ave Maria" These Will be
her first public appearances since her
recent return from Europe.
Eight years have elapsed since THE
Two Orphans was last witnessed in
San Francisco, and proof of it's i'm
perisha bleness is afforded by the fact
that ever since the opening of the new
Alcazar the public demand for its re-
Yival has been insistent. Until this
time. however, its presentation has
been made impossible by contracts
which could not profitably be ignored
Perhaps it would remain still longer
among the promised treats If the eX-
listing AlcaZar company was not so
splendidly fitted to give it adequate
acting. After careful casting of the
play Belasco & Mayer announce that it

players and are acquainted with the
characters they will respectively inter
pref ii would be superf1uous to promise
a remarkably capable and well bal
anced cast. A small army of extra
people win be seen in the minor roles.
OF the play itself it has often been
said that it contains material for half
dozen ordinary dramas, so rich is it
i'm counterpart. The main story con-
Germs the fortunes of two young sisters.
Henriette and Louise, who have just
arrived in Paris from Normandy. Hen
riette is abducted by the marquis de
Presles, and Louise, who is blind, falls
into the hands of street ruffians. Thus
both sides of Paris society. the aris-
tocracy and the sansculotte, as that
stirring time are brought into the
action of the play, which bristles with
thrilling incidents.
