EXPECT TO AVERAGE
SO CENTS FOR PEACHES
Wenatchee Expert and Yakima Asso-
citation Agree that Soft Fruit Will
Bring Profitable Price

Onlpplng ORGANIZATIONS anu uedI-
ers are not so keen in forecasting
prices for fruit this year as they
have been in. years past, says the
Yakima Republic. Not until the
last few days, with the peach season
only three weeks off, have they been
willing to put their expectations
down in figures.
Colonel Rose of Wenatchee, one
of the wise heads" in the fruit
game, and the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers association, in bulletin
to members agree that growers have
reason to expect so cents for peaches
and other prices to correspond.
In an interview Mr.. Rose is re-
ported as stating:
''The last thing want to do is to
give out false hopes to growers or
discourage the consuming public at
the beginning Of the season by scar
ing them with extravagant prices.
Nevertheless I am compelled to say
that this is bound to be the best sea-
son for soft fruit in the history of
this valley. The best of it is that
every day now reports come in to
add to the certainty OF good prices.
Peaches will bring in a mini
mum of so cents to the grower, and
there is just as much reason to ex-
pect Is cents. Pears will sell at the
highest prices Wenatchee has ever
known. Apricots are selling well at
| "A cents, and that is better than
ever before. Summer apples will
average $1.25, which is going some.
Plums and prunes will bring from
| Is cents to 81 per crate.''
The Fruitgrowers' association in
bulletin sent to members Satur-
day, says:
I'VE think our members are justi-
fed in expecting good prices this
year, not using, however, as a
standard the boom prices of few
years ago when apples brought 81
and more a box and peaches Is
cents to 81, but good, remunerative,
profitable prices that indicate a
stable business, promising large re-
turns to to the most successful,
scientific and careful growers.
If you insist on figures, we can
only say that for anyone, no matter
how we'll informed, to give exact
figures is after all guess. One
dealer is talking about IS cent
peaches to growers whose consign-
ments he is soliciting. There will
be sales of early peaches at that
figure, but there is no reason to
believe our main, commercial crop
will reach that amount. No dealer
will buy any large tonnage in re-
lance on such a price. Another
dealer announces that growers are
justified in expecting so cents for
peaches In this we concur"

The circus water wagon fell into a

The tank was nearly buried and it

The fire hose recently purchased by
the city, which was guaranteed to resist
a pressure of 400 pounds, was tested
ont last night by the city officials. Two
lengths were put under pressure and
both bursted after the pressure had
reached little over 300 pounds. One
funny incident occurred when the Sec
ond length was being tested. Clarence
Copeland was one of the interested
spectators, and started to investigate
more more closely when one of the
strands in the covering popped. Just
as he leaned over the hose the inner
jacket split, the whole 300 pounds pres
sure of water being released under him.
Aside from the wetting, the lad stated
that he would just as soon take a hearty
swipe with man-sized club as to let
the water whale him again. Luckily
the first force missed his eyes.
