I)SE35OOCARS
FOR 1910
CROP
DISTRICT INSPECTOR DARLING
TON MAKES INTERESTING ES-
TIMATE-OVER MILLION AND
QUARTER BOXES NECESSARY.

From present prospects We will
have in 1910 full crop of all kinds
of fruit Do we fully realize what
this means? Let us see at what rate
our fruit output has been increas-
ing, in order to get some idea of
what we may expect:
In 1906 the total output was
dDOut JVV StAA
In 1907 the total output was
about 1902 cars
In 1908 the total output was
about 1919 cars.
The output, if we had had nor
NAL crop in 1909 should, with the
increased acreage, have been about
2,700 cars of all kinds of fruit. AS
a matter of fact we had less than
half a crop of apples, no crop of
peaches and a very light crop of
everything else except pears, and
therefore shipped only 94S cars of
all kinds of fruit.
In 1909 it was generally accepted
that we had about 40 per cent of
an apple CROP, but for the sake of
convenience and conservatism we will
call it SO per cent, or half a crop.
We had about $50 cars of apples in
1909, therefore, il we had full crop
we would have had 1900 cars, or
500 more than we had in 1908. We
could safely say then, that our in
crease bearing acreage in 1910 will
be at least as large as in 1903. So
with a full crop of apples in 1910
we should have at least 2,100 cars.
In 1908 our peach shipments was
estimated at 395 cars. In 1910 with
full crop from the enormously in
creased acreage we will probably
have at least 700 cars of peaches.
In 1908, besides apples ami peach
es, we shipped of other fruits, in
Guiding melons and vegetables, 623
cars. It is safe to say that this ship
ment will also be greatly increased
this year, but we will be conserva-
tive and count all these other fruits
in at 700 cars.
| I believe, then, that 5000 Is a
conservative estimate of the fruit
shipment from Wenatchee valley
points in 1910
Do we fully realize what this
means? Are we going to be prepared
to handle the crop? Or will we, as
has been the case In other years, be
surprised and be caught with a car
shortage, with box shortage, with
a paper shortage and with a labor
shortage?
Twenty-one hundred cars of APP
Piles means about 100000 apple
boxes. Seven hundred cars of
peaches means about 100000 peach
boxes. Besides 700 cars of other
fruits and vegetables, nearly all of
which will be shipped in boxes of
one kind or another.
Let US think about these things
early ami be prepared to handle the
crop when the time comes.

BLACK COT HIGHEST
PRICE
T. j. BLACK WAS PAID $67 20 FOR
BOX OF FANCY WINESAPS-C.
L. GREEN RECEIVED $44.8O
FOR SAME VARIETY

Chicago, Jan. Pin. G. Gibson of
the Gibson Fruit Co. says: "Our at
tention has been drawn to a report
in some of the trade papers relat-
ing to a box of apples sold at Denver
during the apple show week or two
ago for $3.50, which was claimed
to have been the highest price ever
paid for box of apples.
1--WE have no disposition to take
any of the credit from Colorado, but
in the interest of correct information
want to say that on January 81,
1908, we made returns to T. ]. Black,
Wenatchee, Wash, for S67.20 cover
ing box containing exactly 112
Winesaps and which figures 60 cents
apiece. On the same day we made
another sale for c. L. Green, Wenat-
chez, for a box of the same kind of
fruit for which we obtained $44.S0
These apples were sold to a local job
Der who we believe afterwards sold
them to Louis KunZe, a well known
fancy fruit dealer here in Chicago,
who got them to put on display in
the front windows of his elegant store
where they were admired by thou
sands of shoppers. Perhaps we
should state that these apples were
about as near perfect fruit as one
could hope to find, both boxes having
won enviable recognition at the pre-
ceding apple show at Spokane, TAX
ing grand sweepstakes prizes.
Some of the papers had pictures
made of the account sale and check
from which cuts were made which
were afterwards printed in connec-
ton with an article relating TO the
subject"

STRAHORN 'S|MTER-
EST LOOMS
INCORPORATION OF NEW COM
PANY INDICATES DESIRE TO
CORRAL POWER AND IRRIGA-
TTON PROJECTS

North Yakima, Jan. 27.-With the
of the Columbia River
company, with head
quarters at Spokane, by associates of
Robert e. Strahorn, the interest of
the North Coast Railroad builder
looms larger than ever in Central
Washington, with indications that
the Spokane man is corraling most
of the available power and recfama-
ton projects in this part of the state.
Strahvrn's name does not appear
in the incorporation papers filed at
Olympia, but it is definitely known
here that Strahorn is behind the pro-
ject. Smith is associated with him
in nearly all of his enterprises and is
both secretary OF the North Coast
company and secI etary-treasurer OF
the Northwestern Light & Water COM
pany and Yakima Valley Power COM
pany. Strahorn's other central Wash
ington interests, in which Smith also
is interested, include four corpora
lions at Pasco for irrigation and de-
welopment work.
The new company has filed re-
quest for right of way across state
lands near Priest Rapids for width
Ct 900 feet and running about ten
miles near the river. No other pro-
iect in this section has required this
large amount of land, and 1t is taken
as an indication that the company
wifi develop a large amount of pow
err as we'll as irrigated lands. While
the capital stock is only 100000, 1T
is generally understood the company
has been fully financed.
Strahorn now controls all the pow
er in Yakima valley except that at
and Prosser, where there
are small plants. His power trans
mission line from the Naches valley
power house, 16 miles from North
Yakima, to Pasco and Kennewick Is
one of the greatest electrical enter
prises in the state, the company not
only supplying power for electric
lighting systems of the valley. but
also for street cars, manufactures
and irrigation pumping plants.
Control of the power situation at
Priest Rapids and the possession OF
power sites in the Cascade mountains
give Strahorn almost a complete mo-
nopoly of the electric power develop
ment for this part OF the state. Dur
ing the winter, leading engineers and
experts of the east, as well as finan-
ciers, have visited Strahorn's projects,
but left without discussing the situa-
ton or the plans. This has caused
a general report that strahorn has
eastern backing for all his enter
prises.

ESCAPE
RAN INTO PIECE OF WASHED
OUT TRACK BELOW COULEE
CITY LAST NIGHT - MIGHT
HAVE BEEN GREAT WRECK.

A serious wreck was narrowly
Yaverted near Coulee City last night
when No. ran into a washout about
mile below the station.
No. / was running on the North
ern Pacific tracks at the time, as
part of the main line had been wash
ed out. Instead of following the
usual custom of putting pilot and
engineer familiar with the road on
the train. for some reason the regu-
lar crew was taking the train over
the unknown road. Just past Cou-
lee City they should have switched
but neglected to do so and went on
the way to destruction toward a piece
of washed out track. The engineer
saw the danger in time to save the
train, but could not avert a wreck.
Engine 1414 plunged down an en-
bankment about 20 feet and plowei
into the soft ground, but none of the
coaches left the track The engine
remained upright The engineer and
fireman jumped No one was in
jured except one passenger, who
jumped, sustaining fractured arm.
AS the switch was turned for Cou-
lee City the engineer and pilot. who
were not familiar with the line, sup
posed they were on the main line for
Adrian until they plunged over the
embankment
G. n. Dineen, of WiIIiston, n. D.,
.xwas on the train and stated to a
World reporter that it was a piece
of monumental negligence on the
part of the Northern Pacific In the
first place that line should have sent
out men who knew the road, and in
the second place, according to Din
GEMS statement, the station agent at
Coulee City could have prevented the
wreck. No one could understand
why he didn't say something when
he saw the train taking the wrong
track. The station agents dog had
a foot cut off by the train and it is
thought that he could not stand up
under such excitement. The only
man hurt was M. p McCullen, of the
baggage car, right arm badly sprafn-
ed. The baggage car and mail coach
were wrecked No. 40 came along
later and pulled the rest of the train
out. !. Mr.. Dineen stated that the wan
ing daylight was all that saved the
train. The time was 5, and il the
train had been an hour later one of
the greatest wrecks in the history of
the west would have occurred

$4,000 ACRE IRRIGATION PROJECT
TWO COMPANIES FIGHT FOR LO-
CATION-ONE FILES CONDEM.
NATION PROCEEDINGS, AN
OTHER BUYS RIGHTS OF WAY.

The southern part of Grant county
is the scene Of big contest for an
irrigation project of $4,000 acres.
The parties in this big fight for pos
session are the Yakiam Land &
Power company, believed to be back
ed by the Strahorn interests, and the
Columbia Development company,
backed by Seattle parties and of
which A. F. Crozier is manager. The
land lies on the east side of the Col
umbia river at Priest Rapids. AS an
evidence of the strenuousity of the
fight, parties for the Columbia De-
velopment company are busily lay
ing out the route for the proposed
ditch lines and condemnation pro-
ceedings have already been filed. The
Strahorn interests, on the other hand,
are out buying rights of way direct
from the owners Of the land.
The Strahorn people have in view
huge project at that place and it
is to be a power proposition, that is.
water will be lifted from the Column
bia river to irrigate the big tract.
AS a difference between high ami
lower water in the Columbia at that
point is near to 80 feet, and as the
canal will have to he several feet be-
low extreme low water it will be
necessary to dig to considerable
depth and as the character of the
soil makes a slope but a slight one
comparatively therefore the need foT
the great breadth at the top. In fact
liz is to be a huge canal, but the pro-
jectors of this scheme believe that
there is a possibility OF making a
second Wenatchee fruit district at
that place.
That Robert E. Strahorn is back
ing the immense irrigation project
on the east side of the Column bia
river near Priest Rapids was dis
closed Tuesday by kilograms stating
that the Columbia River Reclamation
company had been incorporated by
associates of the magnate ana thai
requests had been made for right OF
way across state lands. Dispatches
from Olympia state that the company
was organized by Henry ]. Pierce
A. G.. Smith and J. B. Conroy, with
capital stock of 100000. The arti-
cles were filed in Olympia January Is
The application fled Monday with
the state land commissioner for right
of way asks for a width of 1000 feet
across nine sections. To secure state
lands it is necessary for plats and
sketches to be submitted, which are
submitted to a beard that stes the
price on the property.
No canal in central Washington.
even including the great Sunnyside
system, has ever found a right of way
of 1000 feet necessary, and the fill
ing indicates the immense Size Of the
project which has been clouded in sc
much mystery.

1t would seem to be in order for
some authority at Washington, D. c..
to answer the question, What are
eggs?" suggests the Albany Jour-
nal. Paragraph $50 of the tariff
law puts eggs of birds, fish and in
sects Except fish roe preserved for
food purposes) on the free list. Par
agraph 256 places duty of five cents
a dozen upon eggs not specially pro-
vided for" But after eggs of birds,
fish and insects are placed on the free
list what other eggs are there left to
receive the duty? Turtles eggs? Ac-
cording to some statements recently
published the fve-cent duty is i'm
posed upon hens eggs and Others
used for food. But they are certainly
birds eggs, and therefore should be
entitled to enter free.

There is nothing more curious than
the persistence of the talk about the
imminence of war between Germany
and England. There is apparently no
cause for any outbreak of hostilities
Both nations, insists the New Orleans
Picayune, are sustaining each to the
other the most friendly relations.
The subjects of both governments &C
and come each to the others country
without the least hesitation or re-
straint. The monarchs of the two
countries are near kinsmen. Their
respective dominions are separated by
seas and there is no question as to
either side across the frontier. The
two countries carry on a great COM
merce in exchanging each with the
other their respective commodities,
and war would be to both the great
est possible evils. And yet the war
talk goes on, and both sides are work
ing with might and main to build
Dreadnought battleships and to in
crease armies and ornaments.

The storage of food products has
reached such enormous proportions
that in the hands of inscriptions
men it possesses dangerous possibili-
ties as an engine of extortion, warns
the Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
Gle. Investigations made since the
agitation against high prices began
show that cold storage has become an
inviting field for spectators, who are
not satisfied to carry the surplus of
product from one season to another,
but undertake the promotion of "cor-
ners" for the imitation of prices.
