TWO MILLION FRUIT TREES
PLANTED IN NORTHWEST

SPOKANE, Feb. 10.--Two million
fruit trees, occupying between $4,000
and $4,000 acres of irrigated and non
irrigated lands in the Inland Empire,
will be planted the coming spring, ac-
cording to advices received by the sta
tistical department of the Spokane
chamber of commerce from various
districts in eastern Washington and
Oregon, nor and central Idaho, west
ern Montana and southeastern British
Columbia. Most of the new settings
will be apple trees, the saplings being
two and three years old, and will come
into bearing in 1915 and 1916. The
apples grown in the Spokane country,
like those in other districts in the Pa
cific northwest, command the markets
of the world and are in demand in
eastern and southern points at top
prices. This was demonstrated dur
ing the last national apple show in
Spokane last November. when several
hundred boxes of prize-winning fruit
sold for $40 a box of so pounds, while
the average price paid for standard
commercial winter varieties was $3.50
q box. The cost Of producing a box
Of apples for the market, not including
the cost Of the land. is ~ cents, thus
leaving q handsome profit on bearing

MORALS CORRUPTED
BY ASSOCIATION

SPOKANE, Feb. 12.-"Boomer," n
trained dog which assists it's master,
John l.. Brennan, in watching cross
ing on the Northern Pacific railroad
is proof of the oft-quoted theory that
evil associations corrupt the morals of
CANNES as we'll as hum n beings. The
dog was arrested by Humane officer
thunderstorm on complaint of the
Washington Water Power company on
the charge of attacking it's street car
conductors in an outlying district in
Spokane. The cause of the animals
depravity is it's habit of frequenting a
saloon near it's post at Division street
when not on duty. Loungers in the
ginnery have derived what seemed to
them amusement by siccing the dog on
the conductors, and it appeared to be
a case of abating the dog or equipping
the car men with leg guards. The
believed the former course
to be the most economical and the re-
suit is that "Roomer' lnguishes in
the Humane society's bastile, while it's
owner is obliged to do all the work at
the crossing, Brennan has enlisted
the aid of several councilmen to save
the dog from the crematory, promising
that he will not permit the animal to
visit the saloon in the future.

Horticultural Union to Make an
Effort to Prepare for Increased
Fruit Business.

Unanimously the stockholders of
the Yakima County Horticultural
Union on Saturday, in annual meet
ing, authorized the trustees to pur-
chase for $500 the lot lying just
north of and adjacent to the lot on
which the Union warehouse stands
and to erect thereon a warehouse
similar to that in use by the union
This means an expediture of about
$4,000 for building. The trustees
are authorized to mortgage or in any
other legitimate way finance the prop
osition. The union last year did
large proportion of the fruit business
of this district. Conceding that the
fruit yield this year will be approx
mate to 5000 cars for the county it is
considered to be the part of wisdom
to prepare to handle it.
Pooling Plan Abandoned.
Another move made by the share
holders was to abandon the plan of
pooling fruit which was tested last
year. The plan has many admirable
features but because Of the lack of
standard in grading, ETC., the district
is not considered ripe for the idea.
President Irish of the union in his
address to the shareholders took up
this point and made a number of val
liable suggestions regarding grading
and packing. He pointed out, also
that the union now has 2S6 members,
an increase of 54 for the year. In that
time $50 shares had been sold and
there remain some 1915 unsold. II
Is desired to find purchasers for
these in order that as many growers
as possible may have an interest in
the union.
Statistics of the Year.
In the way of statistics Mr.. Irish
pointed out that the union last year
handled 52,259 boxes of apples as
against 124,541 the previous year of
1908; it handled 1896 boxes of pears
as against 1865 the preceding year;
less than 100 boxes of peaches as
against 264.929 in 1908.
Two hundred and twenty nine cars
of fruit were shipped out of North
Yakima up to January 1 and of these
the union handled 112. In addition
to these matters Mr.. Irish took up the
subject of a new warehouse, action on
which Is noted above, and also point
ed out the advantages of preceding

The Cement Products company has
for their orchard tract in Parker
Heights for 900 feet of cement pipe.
The letting of this contract promises
to mark an epoch of progress in wa
ter conduits for the Yakima valley.
Cement piping has frequently been
used in the construction of sewers
and smaller drains but up to this time
its usefulness as conductor of Wa
ter for irrigation purposes has not
been recoenized,
The contract calls for S-inch pipe,
which will be used in carving the
water from the Union Gap ditch to
the tract mentioned. There is hnf
little difference in the cost of cement
pipe as compared with wooden piping
the preference being un1ualiiedy In
favor of the former when durability
is considered, as the cement product
is practically indestructible, while the
latter, owing to the changed bic con-
ditions of the soil. lasts but few
years.
The Cement Products company Is
putting in the pipe under the guar
antee that the quantity of water re-
quired will be delivered and that the
pipe will not leak.
