UNCAPHER FAMILY
HOLDS ITS REUNION
Members Present from two
Other States.
History traces the Family Back TO the
Year 1761-Another Branch of the
Family Tree is Discovered.

The annual reunion of the Uncaph-
er family was held at the fairgrounds,
Wednesday, and the gathering was the
most pleasant and satisfactory ever
held by the family. There were over
zoo relatives in attendance, includ-
ing number from other counties in
Ohio and some from Pennsylvania
and Indiana. Since the last reunion
1t has been discovered that there are
two wings of the family, which have
different spelling for the name. "Un-
capher" is the spelling which is fa-
miliar to Marion county people, and
"Unkafer" Is the spelling which has
been adopted by the other wing OF
the family. Some of those who spell
their name "Unkafer" were present
at the reunion for the first time.
The day on the fairgrounds was
spent in a very informal manner
There was no attempt 10 carry out
any set program, the only contribu-
ton being a complete history OF the
family, given by Charles f. Uncapher.
The history traced the family back
to the year 1888. though there is
some record as far back as 1851. The
Nohi' ItT-
many and an effort is being made to
learn the date of the landing in this
country.
During the business session which
was held after a sumptuous dinner
had been enjoyed, j. p. Uncapher was
selected president; Charles r. I'm
capher, secretary: j. A. Uncapher,
first vice-president, and A. j. I'm
capher, of Grovertown, Indiana, Sec
ond vice president. T.. n. Uncapher,
II. l.. Uncapher and Mrs. John Con-
ley, were selected members of the ex-
ecutive committee and the duty of
selecting the time and place for the
1911 reunion was placed in their
hands.

ENGLISH APPLE BUYERS
VISIT WENATCHEE VALLEY
Confirms Report That European Apple Crop is Almost
Total Failure and Suggests This Would Be Good
Year to Educate the Engishman Into the Use of the
Red Apple-Finest in the World Here.
81 have travelled 5000 miles to see

81 have travelled 5000 miles to see
Wenatchee. What I have witnessed
this morning has well repaid me for
the trip" With these words and
many other interesting observations,
G.. Simons, of the fir moi Simons,
Shuttleworth & Co., Of London, told
of the large fruit business with
which his name and effort are as
ISOLATED and how he hopes to secure
large consignments of apples from
this valley in future years.
Mr.. Simons was accompanied by
the New York manager for the Eng
lish house, Mr.. French. Together
they spent most of the morning as
guests of o. M. Thomson and G. A.
Harris, looking over the valley in
the Harris Buick automobile. The
buyers had come from Hood River,
where they had been told that New
town Pippins grow to perfection
impossible to any other locality.
Seeing the fruit on the trees in the
Wenatchee valley this morning led
Mr.. Simons to declare with empha-
sis that Wenatchee should make no
more apologies for her light colOred
fruit. Il have seen no Yellow New
towns anywhere in the world equal
the marvellous fruit which l saw
loading your trees in this valley"
Europe is not yet as good mar
ket for the red apple as is this coun-
try" continued the Englishman. For
many years the cooking apple sup
piled to the English housewife has
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-08-31

Shovel it around. Throw it into
boxes. OF course they don't get any
sort Of price for it, and the sooner
all fruit growers learn that packing
is the most important thing, the
quicker they will receive the highest
prices.
Would Take Our Climate Back.
II only wish I could take back
with me to England some of your
wonderful western climate. If l
could bottle up some of the real We
natchee sunshine and turn it loose
in Derbyshire or Cornwall, l could
do more for my country than if /
were prime minister"
Decrys High Prices.
Like all fruit buyers both in this
country as well as Europe, Messrs
Simons and French decry the ten
dency to high prices. They say that
Wenatchee apples have been sold at
such figures in England thus far as
to give the common people the i'm
preston that such fruit is only for
the rich. This may be all we'll
enough for the present" declared
Mr.. Simons, "but when your produc-
ton increases, as it will soon, the
masses must eat your fruit or it will
not be consumed. Whenever the
grower can afford to average a dol
lar box f. o. b., the world will eat
any amount of apples which even the
Columbia valley can produce if every
foot of it's enormous acreage is plant
ed to apples
Speaking of the cost of placing
Wenatchee apples on European mar
kets as compared to eastern markets
in this country, the Englishman
showed that the only additional item
of expense is e cents freight charge
to cross the water.
The London firm which Messrs.
Simon and French are representing
is Garcia, Jacobs & Co. These peo-
pie make apples their leading spe-
cialty. With branch houses in Glas-
gov and Liverpool; with strong con-
nections at Paris and Hamburg, and
with an active representative in New
York in the person of Mr.. French,
they have very complete distribut-
ing system. In London the company
maintains warehouse with storage
capacity of $4,000 boxes.
This is the firm which handles all

been the Ben Davis and Baldwins
shipped from Ontario and Nova Sco-
tia, packed in barrels in large guam
titles and sold at price which would
be equivalent to less than a dollar a
box. The Winesap would require a
long time to overcome the handicap
of its color which at present asso-
ciates it with inferior varieties.
A campaign of education for the
high grade red apple would ulti-
mately place these varieties on a
par with their popularity in the
United States, in the opinion of Mr..
Simons. He states that the present
year offers an opportunity for that
work which may never recur.
1.-The fruit crop in Europe was
ruined this year by climatic condi-
tions almost the same as in the mid
die west of this country. If the peo-
pie of England and on the continent
eat dppleS tHiS year IHey uuSt get
them from abroad. When is a bet
ter time to give them a taste of your
Delicious, of the Spitzenberg, of the
Winesap and the Jonathan? The
results are bound to be the same as
they are anywhere on earth when
man takes a bite in one of these
varieties of apples.
Il cannot emphasize too strongly
the necessity of a good pack. l was
in Spain and Portugal not long ago,
and the way they handle their fruit
is atrocious. They treat the incest
fruit they put out as if it were coal.

1t will be their policy to buy on
consignment always, but to make ad-
vances whenever the grower desires

The consistent and persistent ad-
monition of the Daily World to reg.
lister resulted in heavier registration
yesterday than usual. There was
total of Al citizens who righted them

BUCKET BRIGADE


Hard work b. hastily formed

fro ma destructive blaze on Thursday
afternoon The FIRE started in the.
two story brick house. on Water street,
occupied by James Fields. The reser-
voir was empty. and the steam fire
engine taken to the river bank did not
get to work for nearly an hour. Al
bucket brigade led by I. c. Bond, Jr.,
Rev. Messrs. Crawford and Schroeder,
Earle 7. White, Hugh Falls and Paul
Cummings, was formed and confined
the fire to the Fields premises. Many
OF the male residents d the town were
skating and sailing ice boats on the
river and great alarm was felt for
tirle. The fire burned rather slowly,
and snow on the roofs prevented
sparks from igniting other houses
The Fields house was owned by r..
f. McClenahan The loss is put at
$500, covered by insurance.
