BIG APPLE CROP
IN YAKIMA VALLEY

Spokane, Wash.-Two thousand
airs of apples will be harvested N the
Yakima valley this season., accord
ing to a statement received today by
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
from H. P. James, secretary of the
Yakima Commercial club, who COM
piled the figures from reports by
growers n inspectors. The pear
crop will be normal throughout the
valley, Mr.. James adds, and other
fruit, including peaches, will bring
the total production to approximately
5000 cars. Some losses were occas-
Toned by late f%rosts, but in spite of
this the crop gives promise of being
larger than the average. Growers in
other parts of eastern and central
Washington and Idaho, eastern Ore
gon and western Montana also report
that every prospect is bright for large
crops of apples and other tree fruits.
Bankers in Spokane and throughout
the district estimate that the wheat
yield of the Inland Empire will be
fully &c, 900, 900 bushels this season.
Winter wheat was amply protected

SENSATION OF YEAR
BOSTON AMERICANS GET
SPOKANE BOY WONDER
Is Twenty Years of Age and is a
Triflc More Than Six Feet in
Height-Is a Natural Player.

Spokane, Wash.-Paul Strand,
southpaw pitcher on the Spokane
team of the Northwestern league, just
sold to the Boston Americans for So
500, is the youngest player in orga-
nized baseball in America. He is a
native of the state of Washington,
born in December, 1898, on n farm
at South Prairie, where his parents
settled 20 years ago, soon after ar
irving in this country from Sweden.
There are several interesting Incl
dents in young Strands brief career.
He Won his first three professional
games playing with Spokane this
season, allowing but Is hits and
striking out 80 men. In the second
game here against the Victoria, Oh.
c. team he struck out the first three
men at bat with nine pitched balls.
Strand is a trifle more han six feet
in height and weighs $50 pounds. He
has developed nusua speed and
shows control and some generalship.
Veterans declare he will be the sem
sation of the year as Don as he ac-
quires some of the finer points of the
game. He is 4 natural player, throws
well to the bases n works fast. off
the field he is quiet and reserved,
passing mis- leisure in study.
His playing with the South Prairie
team last summer attracted the at
~tention of John Cohn, manager of the
Indians, who secured the youngsters
parents signatures on a contract, be-
fore the other leaguers could get
them. COINS judgment was verified
soon a~fterward, when Strand, then
pitching for his home team, shut out
Tacoma's crack amateur team, allow
ing three hits and walking IS men.
"My parents were opposed to my
plan to become a professional ball
player" Strand said in an interview
in Spokane recently. my mother
cried at first, but afterward consent

away from home. Father intimated

Editors Act of Courtesy That May
Have Helped To Defeat Tilden
and Make Hayes the
President.

On the night Of the presidential
election Of 1876 the facilities Of the
editorial office of the New York
Times for receiving the election news
were most courteously granted to me
by the late John G. Reid. who was for
many years managing editor Of that
newspaper. l was introduced to Mr..
Reid through letter written by the
chairman of the Republican commit
tee of the state of Connecticut. The
chairman asked Mr.. Reid If | would
be permitted as a representative Of
the Republican headquarters at Hart
ford, giving to the committee In this
way the latest reliable information Of
the returns of election. Mr.. Reid put
a desk at my disposal and gave or
ders that an extra set of proofs should
be placed upon the desk and also
that should have access to any polit-
zeal dispatches that were received at
the Times Office.
Up to little past midnight the re-
turns and dispatches all indicated the
probable election of Samuel j. Tilden

Miss Chamberlain is the daughter OF
Joseph Chamberlain, retired farmer
of Beverly and had been teaching I'm
in the country schools for several
years. Partly because she is attractive

unconventional, she has been talked
about by idle tongues. During the sum
mer Miss Chamberlain worked as
clerk in a store in the hamlet OF
Shady Bend, eight miles from Lincoln,
the county seat, and q couple OF miles
from her home in Beverly. Goaded on
by the women Of Shady Bend, who
urged their husbands to drive the girl
out of the place, these men and few
boys formed plot. One of them, Ed
ward Ricord, a barber, invited Miss
Chamberlain to attend dance with
him. AS they drove along the high
way Ricord and the girl, according to
the plan arranged, were held up. Ri

from the buggy. they stripped her OF

men who tarred and feathered Mary
Chamberlain a school teacher at
Shady Bend in Lincoln County. The
whole state is aroused as seldom be-
fore in it's history over the outrage
which seems shrouded in a good deal
of mystery. The young woman is pop
ular in her home town and enjoys a.
good reputation. 1t Is reported that
she was the innocent victim of jeal-
GUS women, and It is alleged their wag-
ging tongues egged on the mob OF
men to commit the disgraceful crime.

ing the girl to a lonely spot on the
pretense of taking her to a dance, and
then leaving her TO the mercy of the

Of her clothing and then tarred and
feathered her, was tried and sentenced
TO II months in Jail. Six men were
arrested and charged with the crime.
Every effort to unravel the mystery
and get at the motive of the crime is
being made by the authorities. Six

that the Republicans had triumphed

That telegram and the action OF
