WASHINGTON FRUIT INVASION OF
AUSTRALASIA

The securing of new mai kets, with
he expansion OF Old markets. has fer
years been recognized by the pro-
ducers of the Pacific northwest as
a necessity that grows more and
more important. Wherever its fruits.
especially the apple, have gone they
have created demand beyond the
supply. This is peculiarly the ease
in Australasia, where the oppositeness
of the seasons, it being winter there
when summer here, creates partic-
rlar opportunity for marketing our
apples during the winter and spring
Of Australia and New Zealand.
The steamship serFica bet tween San
Francisco and New Zealand and that
between Vancouver ard New Zealand
offers openings to merchante, man
ufacturers and the fruit growers in
Washington of which they may
we'll avail themselves. The VAN
couver way gives ;hu fruits and

chance for favorable shipments TO

The singing by a large choir was q

One reason for the tremendous
success of the Gypsy Smith meeting
here was the publicity secured from
the Post-Intelligencer, but possibly il
was Gypsy's persuasivness tha
brought this about. There are those
who accredit the evangelist with
more than human powers, but we
suspect, that on close inspection he
will be found to be as other men.
There is no doubt about his sincerity,
but you will always notice that peO-
pie who worship either heroes or
preachers, worship them from afar.
When you get real we'll acquainte
with your hero, he is somewhat of a
disappointment.
But the effect of Smiths coming
and his eXhortations are good
they could not be otherwise. I'M
ouestionably he made right here in

that is a labor that makes man
worthy of his hire. And speaking
of hire let us remark that the only
discordant note to be found in the
whole proceeding was the relentless,
ruthless yelling for money with which
to pay for these meetings. Smith did
not indulge in it. because, his pay
Is guaranteed before he starts in 1t
may be small or large, but it has TO
be provided for in real money before
he goes on. 1t seems that he is
sent out by an evangelical corpora
ton in England, which exacts the
greater sum and is said to use if
for the support of the poor in al
certain English locality. Be this MS
it may the money was forthcoming
and those attending the Seattle meet
Ings were reminded of 1t in no timid
Dr. reticent manner. One could al
most imagine that he was attending
some big church, with its paid choir
md fine organ, that required money,
money, all the time. The one great
eason men do not 60 to church in
he cities Is because they are con-
,tantly being dunned, and the high
cost of living or the cost OF high
living whichever way you are
mind to put it, is constant in hi
mind during the secular days, with
out being reminded of it on the
day of rest.
So, to sum up Gyspy Smith: There
Is nothing unnatural about him. He
Is Just an ordinary man. Not tall,
but with very dark skin and a wealth
Of raven hair. Instead of the gay
garb of the gypsy he wore the con-
ventional black of the clergy, though
why the minister should were black
clothes has never been explained. He
looks like man who likes good
meal, consisting of large portion
of roast beef, and beef is expensive
these days. But at the same time
his gustatory delights are not all he
has for he loves companionship and
he gets no end of pleasure from
his meetings. He is the most force
full minister that ever visited these
parts by reason of his voice, his earn
estness and his methods, which are
purely those of the Salvation Army
and are more personal than most
ministers care to give.

ton, there is very little complaint
from the corporations because of the
taxation, although this year the men
will face gigantic task, since the

increased.
