NOT A CHANCE
FOR THE GIRLS
Such Appears to Be the Evidence
of Conditions Surrounding the
New York Fire
DOORS SWUNG INWARD
AND ESCAPES BLOCKED
Greater Number of the Employees
Were Unable to Speak English
Yet There Were No Yiddish or
Italian Directions

NEW YORK, March 27.-Fixing the
blame for the loss of 142 lives in the
Washington Square fire Saturday drew
to focus the emergency forces of the
district attorneys office, fire marshal
and coroner, state labor department
and Borough President McAnny of
Manhattan. Dozens of Investigators
collected available information and
grand jury men turned the personal
probers in addition. The grand jury
in formal resolution presented TO the
court of general sessions, Offered their
aid to the district attorney and de-
clared some one should be prosecuted
for the disaster.
Evidence Is Serious
The Investigators found evidence
that the doors at the exits swung in
ward. crumpled fire escapes in the
air shaft, one fire escape blocked by
the iron shutters when opened in the
air shaft, an empty water tank on the
roof and the practice prevalent among
the cutters Of lighting cigarettes a
few minutes before quitting time. All
of this and what is yet to be ferretted
out, will be placed speedily before the
grand jury.
Tenement Owners Tried
The tenement house department
summoned the owners of half dozen
faulty structures to the police court as
preliminary step to a far reaching
investigation of the tenements. One
man was held for violating the law
and other cases went over until to-
morrow. Fire Marshal Beeres stated
today that from his investigations it
would have required three hours for
the 700 girl employees to descend by
one fire escape. There had never been
fire drill, nine-tenths of the en-
ployes cannot speak English and yet
he found no signs in Yiddish or Italian
pointing to the exits.
Blames "a Cigarette
The fire marshal said he is con-
vinced that a cigarette lit by a cutter
and thrown into a heap of clippings
started the fire.
Thirty-three of the bodies are still
unidentified. OF these 1873 were taken
dead from the scene of the disaste
and nine died in hospitals.

wade this territory the latter part of
next month, says the Granger News
In the Kennewick country it is es-
timated that about 10000 of these
frost proof devices are in use.
There are many seasons when the
fruit grower Is never bothered with
frost at all, but to be on the safe side
they have supplied themselves with
pots and oil to be ready for instant
use when necessity demands. They
have also supplied themselves with
frost alarms. a delicate piece of me-
chanism, SO arranged that it rings a
bell in the house when the tempera-
ture reaches the danger point.
At the present time the Granger
Storage Co., has tanks at Wapato
Toppenish, Granger. Grandview, Pros
ser and Sunnyside, with a total cap.
acity of about 10000 gallons of Oil
This doesn't indicate that that much
oil is used every season to insure 9
fruit crop, but it gives an idea of the
amount that might be used in case Of
an Emergency. Much of the oil n
the tanks now is the supply left ovel
from last season.
The last car of heaters arrived las
Monday and are being delivered t.
the farmers this week.

THROUGH EXPRESS
CHARGES ARE CUT
American Company's Figures Are
Being Met-The Northern
Has Announced Reduction

The advent of the o. w. r. & N.
Co. and the American Express COM
pany has had the effect Of cutting
down the through express rate from
New York and Chicago to North Yak
ina from 25 to 40 per cent. Here
tofore the rate on seven-pound pack
age from Chicago to this city has
been 81, while the rate on an eight
pound package has been $2.20. The
rate of the American Express COM
pany for a package of the latter
weight is $1.20. This reduction is
made possible by the fact that
through express for North Yakima is
carried westward as far as Pendle-
ton, Ore. without the cars being
opened. Express is delivered here
on the fifth day from New York.
The Northern Express company will
reduce its rates, notice to that effect
having already been filed with the
Interstate Commerce commission.

cover $1,000 miles of road.

owners Of fruit trees in this coun-
ty who neglect the lime and sui
phur spray for insect pests are to
have a rude awakening this season
Their trees will be sprayed and they
will pay the cost 1t does not matter
at what time the authorities are able
to reach them the trees will be
sprayed just the same. This may
be after the blossoms have disap-
peared and the fruit got so far along
that the lime and sulphur will leave
it's marks. Owners Of home orchards
are the ones most likely to suffer and
to be called upon to pay the official
price for the work.
Big Growers Are Alert
Commercial orchardists as rule
are very alert in the application of
the various sprays which protect the
fruit from its enemies but it has been
found in past years that those who
own small tracts containing but a
few trees have been negligent or in
different. Some of these people ha- q
got an idea that If the blossom sea-
son arrives without lime and sulphur
having been applied to their trees
they are safe. Inspector T. o. Nor
rison is this year to look for people
with such an idea. He already has
a list of those who are Indifferent to
the general claims of the valley with
regard to clean fruit and is getting
out his notices. He has been very
busy to date in the examination Df

This work is now about completed
and he has time to attend to the

Prize Winning Lambs

The Pacific Northwest Livestock
show, which closed in Portland last
Wednesday, was a record breaker in
regard to the prices obtained for some
of the fat stock. Not only that, it is
interesting to the stockmen of the
Yakima valley from the fact that u
number of local people were directly
interested in the sales.

YAKIMA PEACHES TO
GO TO BR|T|SHERS
Railway Man Says That He Can
Promise Service of Twenty
Four Days to British Ports

Twenty-Five days from the time
peaches leave the orchards in east
ern Washington, Oregon and north
ern Idaho until the fruit is placed on
sale in London and Liverpool markets
is the fast freight service promised
for this season by Percy L. Sinclair,
travelling representative of the Lacka-
wanna lines, who has been spending q
great deal of time in North Yakima.
He says the transcontinental railroads
and connecting lines already are pre-
pairing to handle the crop of the dis
trict, adding:
Yakima Peaches Good
"If we can assure the shippers Of
such a schedule, we also can show
them that they are in a position to
compete successfully with the pro-
ducers of Spain and northern Africa
IN supplying the British market.
Tests have proved that peaches
grown in the Yakima valley, properly
packed, can travel for % days and
arrive in as good condition as the
day they were placed into the box.
Considering the fact that none of the
orchards of Spain or Africa produces
as high grade peaches as are grown
in the Inland Empire, and that the
fruit can be sold as cheaply in Lon
don as that from Africa, the oppor-
tunity for the northwestern horticul-
turist is apparent.
Opens New Markets
'"rhe opening of the British may
kets will mean a great deal to the
Inland Empire peacngrowers, and Is
bound to enlarge the possibilities oil
this line of fruit growing in the north
west. Last year many peaches OF e1'
cellent quality went to waste simply
from lack of a market which could bt
reached.
1.-THE opening in the British marke
for Washington and Oregon apples
also is splendid, although at this time
of the year the Tasmanian apples arr
beginning to invade England. Blu
here is a curious fact: 1 know mar
in Washington who has now an ordel
Tor $4,000 boxes of high grade apples
to be sent to Australia, which als'
is shipping to England. The Tas
manian is not so good as the north
western apple. The demand of tn
English market is largely for tn
lfive-tier apple. however"
