southern peaches continue in eN-
tremcly heavy supply, and the re-
ceipts arriving in the last two or three
days are in very bad condition, due
we are advised, to a shortage of cars.
and to using % refrigerator cars that
are not suitable to this class of bust
ness. In many instances meat cars
ana vegetable cars, in fact, almost
anything in the way of refrigerator
car is pressed into service. The crop
has turned out much heavier than es-
timated. and the railroads are not
prepared to take care of the business
We understand also that there is a
shortage of ice.
Much Oyerripe Fruit.
"Today's receipts amounted to
about 60 cars, 50 of the IS were
overripe and some in badly decayed
condition. Texas is only four days
from Chicago by fast freight, ana
nearly all of its receipts are in bad
shape. while California, that is from
nine to eleven days distant, nearly
all of their receipts are coming in fine
condition. The carrying quality of
Texas is equal if not better than the
western fruit. This is particularly
so of this season, as no finer peaches
were ever grown than are being
shipped from Texas at the present
time, and had this fruit been proper
ly refrigerated, we would have had
very strong market. On the other
hand, this poor stuff demoralizes
conditions not alone for the fruit it
self. but affects all other kinds as
we'll. This will mean heavy claims
for damages against the railroad
companies, but it would be much
more satisfactory if the growers could
have received proper service and it
would not have been necessary to
make these claims"

GOOD ROADS GET
ADDITIONAL MONEY
Funds Appropriated for Penitent-
larry at Walla Walla Will be Di-
verted for Use on Highways

OLYMPIA, july 22.-About $4,000
of the funds appropriated from the
state general fund by the last legis-
ature for the maintenance Of the
state penitentlary at Walla Walla is
to be diverted to assist in the con-
struction of the state highway lead
ing from Lyle to Samuel Hllls town
Of Maryhill and other state road
work.
1t was the original desire Of the
good road enthusiasts to secure the di-
version of about $4,000 of the APP
preparation for support of the peni-
Tertiary, which Superintendent Reid
of the prison and the state board of
control had saved by economic man
agemtn mt, for work on the Maryhll
road after the money appropriated
by the legislature for that highway
had been exhausted. The diversion
was urged on the contention that 40
long as the work on the highway was
being done by convicts the peuiton-
tiary should pay for board and cloth
ing Of the workers out Of the pcni-
Tertiary maintenance appropriation
instead of having the state highway
fund appropriation for the roads
The state appropriated 81 cents
per day for penitcntiary maintenance,
but out of this must be paid sala-
ries OF the superintendent, other Of
fcers and employees ana their board.

other expenses. A long conference
was held today in the office of the
governor, attended by Governor Hay,
Attorney General Bell, members OF
the board Of control and Highway
Commissioner Bowlby, at which it
was decided, on advice of the attor-
ney general as there is not enough
work at prison to keep all convicts
employed it would probably be all
right to divert from pen,tcutiary

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
SHIPPERS COOPERATE
H. M. Gilbert Points Out How
Special Train Service be Made
Use of For Pear Crop.

Suggesting that individual fruit
shippers unite in selecting the same
day for their Fargo and far east
shipments, H. M. Gilbert has written
circular letter to the various peo-
pie interested directly in the railroad
train service for fruit, as the incep-
ton of the movement toward getting
them together on the transportation
end of the business. Mr.. Gilbert is
the chairman of the committee Sc
lected to attend to this phase of the
seasons difficulties. He believes that
by getting together right away on the
proposition it will be possible to get
thirty car trains together several
times during the pear and prune sea-
son. This will enable Superintendent
Richards Of the Northern Pacific rail-
road to determine in advance of the
peach season, whether he can make
his five day schedule for that COM
modify.
Basis of the Proposal.
Saturday. says Mr.. Gilbert, "is
always a big day because farmers
make an extra effort to get in all the
fruit they have packed, Saturday
afternoon. Therefore 1 have selected
Saturday and then alternate shipping
days for the Fargo and eastern bust
ness. In this way I am confident we
can get 30-cars lots for two or three
times during the Bartlett pear and
prune season."
Mr.. Gilbert assumes that it is ia
ken for granted by shippers and
growers that on such days as the val
ley is unable to furnish 3O-car lots
the fruit will be put on the fast
freight with six day schedule to St.
Paul. He believes, however, that
shippers will save much more than
the one day by getting their cars on
the special train. His letter to the
shippers Is as follows:
"oppenish, Wash, July 21, 1910.
"Gentlemen:-On Saturdays we al
ways have about double the ship
ments of other days. Would it meet
vonr approval to make our Fargo and
eastern shipments on Saturdays,
TUESDAYS and Thursdays, filling your
orders for this side of Fargo and
down from Billings on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays?
"If we all agree on such a program.
l believe we can get 30-car train lots
during the Bartlett pear and prune
season for Fargo and east. At least
we can get such lots for two or three
days and let Richards try his hand on
putting the special fruit trains
through. Should he succeed, it will
give us very much encouragement in
handling the alberta peach PROPOSE
ton.
VERY truly yours

FIFTY FLOATS
ARE in SIGHT
Progress Reported at Maetint
of Float Committee
Held Today. u

At meeting of the floats com
mittcc OF the Floral Parade, held In
the rooms Of the Promotion Commit
tee at noon today. the preliminary
reports by members showed that
there were about nifty floats already
promised for the February pageant.
All the members of the committee
were enthusiastic in their reports of
the canvas made and the prospects
are for parade which will be far
ahead OF the one last year.
Y. Takakua was appointed chair
man Of subcommittee to interest
the Japanese merchants and resi-
dents Of the city in the parade and
to get floats from that population.
NJ. c. Amana was appointed to a
like position to handle the Chinese
end OF the parade, and both gentle
men will have something to report
viii II will be of interest.
In reply to letter sent to the
Togo Kisen Kaisha, asking them TO
bring some riclsshas for the parade,
the company stated through its pres
ident that they did not think this
plan feasible, but that they would
take up the matter of participation
with some Of the japanese firms of
Honolulu with an idea of being rep
resented In the parade.
No reply has been received from
the Pacific Mail company in reply
to the request that they furnish
float.
II Is planned to ask all the ships
in the harbor during the parade to,
participate in 1t in some way, and
the Coast and foreign steamers which
are scheduled to be in port at that
time will be approached on the mat
ter as soon rs possible.
The reports made today by mcm-
bers of the committee were merely
preliminary, and during the next
week thorough canvass of the city
will be made by the members, also
