APPLE SHIPMENTS
FORTY CARS DAILY
Railroads Figure That Business
Will Take on Big Proportions
Next Week

Apple shipments from the Yakima
valley at this time are running at
about forty carloads per day. Oper-
atoms are more or less constant in
all the orchards but no especial rush
work is in progress, due largely to
the fact that the State fair in North
Yakima this week is dividing the in
terest and making inroads into The
labor situation, hands breaking away
daily to attend the fair attractions
Railroad people who have been slz-
ing up the situation are convinced
that next week there will be rush
of fruit and that the shipments will
run into a remarkably high total.
Storage Space Limited
One fact is making itself eviden.
at this time and that is that the stor-
age demands will be away beyond the
storage space available and that some
fruit will of necessity be stored in
transit, plan not hitherto adopted
here, or else sold outright because of
the fact that there are not adequate
means of holding it here. Considers
BILE storage space has been added
within the past year by the construc-
ton of cellars on the ranches, by the
building Of frost proof easements in
warehouses of the associations and in
other ways. What has been added in
this way, however, is altogether i'm
adequate so far as the demand of
this season Is concerned.

LARGEST ORCHARD
OF PEACHES BURNED
Owners of Famous Bagley Prop
erty in Georgia Apply
the Torch

AMERICUS. Ga, Sept 26.-After
threatening three successive seasons
to destroy their big peach orchard the
largest in the world, the Bagley Or
chard Co., owners of the Bagley es-
tate, cut down their trees last week
piling them in huge heaps and burn
ing the brush. The bonhres were
started Monday and continued to
burn for two days.
The Bagley orchard was one of the
first to supply the eastern market
with Elbertas on large scale. 1t
was originally planted about 20 years
ago, and had been extended until the
orchard contained 225,000 trees. Sew
eral years ago a syndicate of South
Carolina capitalists took over the
property and attempted to operate on
the same scale as they would a man
ufacturing enterprise. In two seasons
they became thoroughly Disguised
with their investment and concluded
to cut down the trees and convert the
property into a cotton plantation.
This decision was held up each year,
but the small profits secured from
the 1912 bumper crop brought the
maj ucNiSioil 10 wipe out tne orchard.
History of the Orchard
Judge Gober, of Marietta, Ga. was
the original founder of the orchard.
ana for years the property was
known as the Gober- Bagley orchards.
1t represented an investment, all told,
including the land of nearly a million
dollars. Expert farmers have declar-
ed that the same land will produce
an average of one-half bale cotton to
the acre which would insure the
owners fully double the dividends
they have received from their or
chard investment. Because of the
lack of canning facilities this season.
this and other orchards in this sec
ton lost thousands of bushels of
peaches, which went to waste. Fort
valley and Marshallville orchard
owners were saved similar losses, as
they had interested Baltimore can
ners. with the result that branch
plants were established in the peach
section early the past spring, with q
capacity sufficient to handle all OF
the surplus fruit. :,

TAX LEVY FOR 1912
FIXED At SIG MILLS
State Will Collect SIS, 819,449 80
Per Cent Will Go to Counties
for Schools and Roads

OLYMPIA, Sept. 26.-Figures given
out by the state board of equalization
show that the tax levy for state pur-
poses for 1912 is 5.79 mills which will
raise a total of $5,S19,449 for all pur-
poses. OF this amount only $1,236,2 56
goes into the state general fund to
conduct the state departments and in
Istitutions. The state school fund this
year gets $1,909,664, the military fund
$110,559, permanent highway $1,0O5,-
0S6, the public highway $502,543,
while the fiat tax for institutions of
higher education brings a total of
$1,055,341.
This shows that practically so per
cent of all taxes raised goes for roads
and schools and is returned direct to
the various counties and to the insti-
tutions, the state merely acting as
agent and handling the money much
as bank would handle it.
The tax levy this year is in reality
a reduction. but owing to the fact that
the legislature fixed fiat rate for the
higher educational institutions for the
first time that fund gets more money
than ever before, as does the perma-
nent highway fund. This is also fixed
by law, and the board of equalization
cannot alter the levies. The general
fund.- however, is greatly reduced.
In Billion Dollar Glass
Figures given out today show that
the aggregate, value of all real and
personal property as equalized by the
state board of equalization is $1,0O5,-
0S6,251. Washington for the first
time is in the billion-dolla class,
figuring from an assessed valuation.
This means that inasmuch as the gem
eral average for the state of the as
sessed ratio to the actual value is
42.41 per cent, taxable property in
Washington has an actual value of
So, 500 100000 in round numbers
A new levy is included this year
and that is the half-mill for public
highway funds. Taking away this
levy, the total would be less than a
year ago Last years levy was SOB.
