HANDLERS OF FRUIT
RECALL OTHER DAYS
And Joke About the Time When
Two Carloads in One Day
Was a Record Business

S. A. Herring, Of the Pacific Fruit
Express, while waiting at the North
ern Pacific station Friday for his
train west, got into conversation with
j. NJ. Perry, J. o. Shadbolt, AL Car
penter and others regarding the ear
iier fruit days in this section of the
valley. Mr.. Herring. in 1897 and
thereabouts represented the Armour
refrigerator car service. Mr.. Carpen-
ter at that time represented the Por-
ter Bros, and Mr.. Perry was on the
eve of establishing his present bus
mess, which has since grown to con-
siderable proportions. They all re-
called a day when two carloads OF
apples had been sent out from Yaki-
ma on the same day.
Two Cars in One Day
Frank Wheeler, who is now at
Portland had a quantity of fruit for
which Mr.. Herring had supplied the
cars. Mr.. Carpenter had gone to
WallaWalla and Mr.. Herring UNDER
took TO superintend the loading, q
business he had never before tried.
He got out his two carloads ana
made history.
Mr.. Perry recalled deal with
which he was connected which had
to do with the loading out, in one
day of two carloads of prunes. Prunes
We're plentiful at that time ana did
not bring the prices they bring these
days. He got out his two carloads
All right. And | remember that

losing $3.50 a day and that kept up

PACKING CHERRIES
IS A new PROBLEM
J. M. Perry Suggests That They
Be Marketed in Crates the
Same as Strawberries

Cherries, in the opinion of j. M.
Perry ought to be packed and shipped
in strawberry crates. Such also is the
opinion of Mr.. Berg foreman for Mr..
Perry who has had experience at Ia
coma and elsewhere on the retail end
of the business. Greater satisfaction,
they both think, will be given by
handling the fruit in that way than
in any other. 1t is not new idea but
it has never been generally tried. On
the other hand it has never failed
when resorted to and the reasons are
various. Packed in strawberry crates
the cherries make more satisfac-
tory package for the grower, the
shipper, the retailer and the consum-
er. A crate will probably weigh "a
pounds.
Old System Costly
Under the old system of packing"
said Mr.. Perry, while the package
undoubtedly is very attra ctive one,
too much time and labor are wasted
and too much cost added to the fruit.
Every cherry is handled between the
thumb and the finger in packing and
there is greater liability to acct
dent Also at the other end it is a
certainty that the dealer will lose a
pound or two. :. proportion of the
fruit is crushed or bruised or de-
preciated because of exclusion of air
and cannot be sold. That makes the
merchant wary. Better business and
more satisfactory results can be OBJ
tanned, in my opinion, by the use of
the berry Gates. l think I will take
the subject up with the Cascade Lum-
Der company to learn what steps are
being taken to provide cherry pack
ages and to suggest the small boxes.
"Of my own knowledge regarding
the probable quantity of cherries
cannot speak, but others have esti-
mated the crop as between twenty
and twenty-five cars and it. would not
surprise me If that is correct
Some Other Views
Il would advise said S. A. Herring,
of the Pacific Fruit Express, and
speaking jocularly, that all cherries
be shipped in Northern Pacific cars.
| will explain the reason for that
We find almost Invariably when fruit
does not sell well that the trouble is
blamed on the car company. Now it
may as we'll be admitted that there
is little hope for cherries bringing
such a price as the grower will eX-
pect Therefore | say if a car company
is to be blamed, let the Northern Pa
ciic take it,"
The handler has his own troubles"
said AL Carpenter. when he makes
a deal with a grower for his pears
and apples the grower will say take
the cherries. Then when the cherry
returns come in, friendship ceases
You ask for the pears and apples and
you are told nothing doing. You
robbed me on the cherry game; l
can't deal with you"
In one respect" said another per-
son, "a big cherry price will be a dis
a atacr tn, al,
ers will plant cherries, urged by the
nurserymen, and We don't get crop
once in ten years. Perhaps it will be
wrong to encourage it,"

OF great interest to Yakima resi-

from a Portland paper with refer

Although no formal action was
taken by the commissioners, road SUI

COLD STORAGE
IS ESSENTIAL
Tactically and Financially 1t Is the
Right Move for Yakima to
Make at This Time
BIG SAVING OF MONEY
is CERTAIN TO RESULT
Man Closely Connected With the
Fruit Business Tells of Some Of
the Reasons for Protecting the
Crop at This End

can point OUT said business
man on Friday. "hpw it will pay the
people. here to store their fruit at
home"
IF ranchers will come in and buy
up storage for 100000 boxes of APP
PIES said J. M. Perry, later in the
day. Il will add two stories to my
ity."
The man who spoke first, and who
declined for business reasons to per-
NIT the use of his name is closely
connected with the fruit trade. Mr..
Perry has shown his faith in the stor-
age business by investing seventy or
eighty thousand, or perhaps more, to
prepare for the conditions that are
bound to come. They both speak of
need which scores of others rec
ognize and have agitated to some ex-
tent. Herewith are given a couple of
the arguments presented by the first
speaker.
Ties Up Lots OF Money
suppose you people here ship out
thousand cars of fruit to be stored
In the east. The freight is $500 car
That freight must be paid upon ar
rival of the fruit at the other end of
its journey and it makes no difference
whether the fruit is sold or not the
freight must be paid. Right there
you have 100000 tied up if your
fruit goes into storage. The interest
on that sum is worth consideration
Here is another thought There
is at least five per cent loss on stor-
age fruit and that is stating it mild
~. This year there are 10000 cars
of boxed fruit to be handled when
the entire territory, California, Ore
gon, Utah, Colorado. Washington and
all are taken into consideration On
that total there Will be paid freight
amounting to $25O,0OO for fruit which
will never be sold, for it will be lost
in storage. You see it is easy to fig
ure the financial advantage, under
present conditions, of having ade-
quate storage.
Question OF Markets
Now, where are your markets :?
Have you ever found, so far as you
people right here are concerned that
you have had the same market two
years in succession? Is it not a fact
that one year it is New York and an
other year it is Texas and third year
it is much nearer home. Under those
conditions where will you store if not
at home. Again, IL you store in the
east who controls the market, you
people here or the men at the other
end who knows what you have in
storage and who can manipulate you ?
Dealers Will Buy i'm Time
81 have been told that the dealer
at the other end wants his fruit when
he wants it and won't wait. How
about your dry goods dealer here.
Doesn't he order his goods so that
he will get them in time. Can the
dealer buy apples from Yakima in the
same way? The place for our stor-
age is right here in your own valley,
not at New York, or at Chicago, or
St. Paul. or Portland, or at Tacoma,
but at Yakima"

WASHINGTON, May 9.--Washing-
ton society is showing intense interest
ih the long distance endurance horse
back ride in which Mrs. Herbert
Wadsworth and party of friends are
participating. The party left Wash
ington with the determination to
reach Hot Springs, Va, in record
time. They expect to arrive there
about May 16 and then ride to Mrs.
Wadsworth's home at Geneseo, N.
Y. On their way they will sleep
in farmhouses or camp by the roa
side, at all times cooking their own
meals. Mrs. Wadsworth, who is a
prominent society leader, is probably
the best woman rider in the country.
She has taken part in many long dis
lance contests and several years ago
rode 159 miles in sixteen hours, beat
ing the record established by Colonel
Roosevelt. She loves horses and prac-
tically lives in the saddle summer and
winter. She is also fond of hunting
and has had many thrilling expert
ences.
