The West and Northwest will be
called upon to supply the fruit de-
mand OF the whole country this year

On Tuesday the Grand Junction

ped fun crop last year. and will
ship 80 per cent of crop in 1910.
Last years shipments consisted of
$50 cars of apples. coo cars peaches
and of pears This years estimate
IS for 500 cars OF aprles. $50 of
peaches aid 5 of pears.
Another report from Paonia. and
which corresponds well with that
made by Nelson Brothers, is that
Paonia will ship within Is per cent
of the quantity of year ago.
Hotchkiss.
Hotchkiss had 65 per cent crop
last year. and will have so per cent
in 1910 according to the Hotchkiss
Fruit Company. The total shipments
in 1909 were: 425 cars of fruit of
all kinds and the estimate is for
| SEQ cars in 1910. We have got the
exact amount of fruit of each W.

225 to 240 cars of apples. so cars
of peaches, 3 cars of pears and 3

owing to the fact that there

of the orchards" writes Mr.. Luellen.
there was not as large n percentage
of buds this year, and although the

severe than last year. the damaging

PRESIDENT TAFT
SEEKS HARMONY

Washington.-In what was said to
be an initial effort to bring about q
semblance of harmony in the divided
Republican forces of the United
States senate, President Taft invited
several regular and progressive lead
ers to the White House.
In insurgent circles 1t was said the
preliminary conference with the
president had given no definite prom.
Use of success. The president was
reported as conciliatory and is said
to have declared he was anxious to
do all in his power to bring about
unity of action in the party.
At the White House it was not ad-
mitted that President Taft was not
making a special effort to bring the
insurgents or progressives into line.
1t was declared with great deal of
emphasis that Messrs. Cummins, Bo-
rah and Bristow had been invited to
call only as part of the president s
plan to consult as many as possible
OF the senators and congressman re.
garding recommendation in his mes
sage and the legislation program.

RESUMED
BY MEXICAN REBELS
Peace Commission Hampered
lby Soldiers in Restoring
Order.

Ell Paso, Tex-A telegram from
Maria, Tex, states that apprehension
and excitement prevails at both Pre-
sidio and Candelaria, 80 miles south
of the Texas side of the river, owing
to the revolutionary disorders re-
ported on the Mexican side. Nothing
definite has yet been learned of the
reported fight at Oiinaga Saturday
night. Firing has been heard at in.
tervals, but so far as can be learned
there has been no loss of life.
. Members of the peace commission
returning to Chihuahua reported that
their work was greatly embarrassed
by the fact that soldiers followed al
their heels. At Guerrero, just as they
were beginning to talk with the in
surrectos, peon arrived with word
that the soldiers were on the way,
whereupon the meeting promptly
came to an end.
Main Grievance Against State.
At Guerrero, and also at San Anto'
nio, the commissioners were told that
the main grievance is against the
state government rather than against
Diaz.
Seemingly authentic reports state
that Guerrero has been taken by the
revolutionists with some loss of life
Details are lacking. 1t is reported
that General Plata, commanding this
military zone, is to be succeeded by
General Juan Hernandez Immediately
1t Is learned that the peace com
mission which left Chihuahua to treat
with the insurrectos was acting un
der the authority of Governor San
chez, and not President Diaz.

judgment, were poorly located, the
Puget Sound yard because of its dis

Mare Island navy yard because OF
shallow water, rendering 1t valueless
in the repair of battleships and heavy
cruisers, and also because of its re-
moteness from San Francisco.
