TRIBUTE TO STRAHORN
AS AN EMPIRE BUILDER

I annum; with 100000 pounds of pa
| per to wrap the apples in and Ave
| million pounds of nails for putting
the boxes together. These figures
might be alarming If eastern orchard
conditions were normal but they are
| not"
| There are not one hundred acres
of young apple trees, where there
are thousands of acres of dead fruit
trees and thousands of acres more
dying. In the east there is no attempt
made at spraying, New York trees
have been bearing fruit for the past
hundred years, the soil is depleted
and the trees are full of pests. The
orchards of the eastern states can
never be renewed"
Strahorn Praises Assistants
Thanking those present for their
overwhelming tribute, Mr. Strahorn
said: I'm all this something, some
body has been overlooked. While /
have probably succeeded beyond what
some men have done, / attribute it
mostly to the loyalty, help and CO.
operation of the men l have been for
tunate in being able to bring into the
Yakima, saying that very few COM
munities of only $1,000 inhabitants
would have been able to do what this
city has done and could make such a
showing as was made today. He
thanked all for what had been done.
In closing he said he did not think
that an additional railroad in the
valley would hurt the existing line
and had always felt so and he believed
that before the North Coast had got
ten firmly organized that another rail-
road would be needed This he said
he was confident of.
This short talk, which was received
with cheers ended the evenings
speechmaking.
