N More Peaches
In Car Load Lots
s.eeessiul Peach Year for Those Who
Contracted-Apple Outlook
Uncertain.

10 pieces, n satisfactory price was
realized for those that were sent
away, the price paid being from so
10 60 cents per bushel, net. Most OF
Them were shipped In bushel baskets
which enabled the growers to gather
much more of their crop than If they
had been compelled to wrap the
ueaches and pack in cases. AT the
present time peaches may be had al
most for the asking and peddlers are
refusing to haul them to Salt Lake
city, where the bottom has dropped
out OF the market also.
During the last month over 100
car loads of fruit have been shipped
from Pleasant Grove alone. Most OF
them being peaches and which were
almost equally divided between the
three shippers-Roylance and COM
pany, Wadley and White and the Utah
Fruit Growers Association. Roy

Ing out peaches at the rate of a train
load per day, and was paying in
wages alone over $4,000 per week
This firm still has over twenty girls
employed here packing car load
Of prunes per day. They will com
mence on winter pears soon, and will
probably ship five cars of them.
+. B Peck, on the Bench, marketed
70 car loads Of peaches from his own
orchard. but has 1900 bushels which
got too ripe to ship and which he will
cut and evaporate. Experiences this
season proved the wisdom of those
who sold their crops early In the year.
Apples will be next on the market.
The crop Is up to an average and the
quality Is number one. but owing TO
the impossibility Of shipping any APP
pies to Europe this season, the mar
ket Is still uncertain. Preparations,
however. are being made TO pack and
chip large tonnage and II Is hoped
that the market will be II remunera-
tive one.
Recent government reports for
September gives the per cent pro

being 100 per cent. while the per cent

apple crop Is estimated at $4,000 bu-

undon Defeats
County Champions
VIII Endeavor TO Defeat Provo Today

In one of the best attended games
Of the season played here last Mon
day, Lindon defeated American Fork
In league game, the score being 8
to 7. The visitors had played game
earlier in the afternoon with Provo,
which they assign as the reason for
their defeat, at any rate Lindon seem
ed to be able to bat the American
Fork pitchers almost at will. At one
point In the game, Rife for American,
had just caught fly down in center
field, when Happy" Homestead, chas-
ing the same ball, hunted Rife over
citing in two runs.
The defeating Of American Fork
makes the score even between that
cam and Provo, which will probably
make It necessary to play off a tic
Tor the county championship.
The last game of the season Will
De this afternoon between Lindon and
Provo. If Linden wins II will have
The unique distinction OF having de-
feated the two lead teams in the
county league. The line up In We'd
game follows

 The Consuls Letter
 This letter perhaps cannot be read by many Birmingham people. but it is one of Mr. Poole's most valued souvenirs of his trip. It is a letter expressing thanks and good wishes from the force of Mexi- can mail carriers whose chief, Mir. Poole was, and whose pictures appear with this story. It might furnish some interest to the schoolboys and girls who are study ing Spanish

work out the salvation of Mexico on the only basis upon which it can ever be worked out.
 Poole Relates Experiences
 MT. Poole is proud of the record made by the little coterie of United States postal officials who stepped into the chaos of Vera Cruz and in a few days had working model and efficient post office, sending and receiving mail which had been tied up, some of it., for months. The newspaper men who were rushed to the scene of the Vera Cruz light especially were gratified at the work of the United States postal men and MT. Poole has received many letters giving expressions of thanks.
 MT. Poole was chief clerk of the rail way mail service at Birmingham when he was sent to Vera Cruz by the Wash ington officials and he has returned to take up that position again. While in Mexico he wrote many letters to The Age-Herald under the name of "Bili Sikes,' which were enjoyed throughout the country O. account of their intimate views and insight into Mexican life as i impressed an American citizen.

 or two ago MT. Poole arrived in Bir- mingham and told many interesting and exciting stories of his four months stay in Vera Crouz.
 Tn answer to your query as to the interesting features of my service in Mex ico I hardly know where to begin" he declared. My first assignment after got ashore was on Sunday afternoon when I was to take carrier and make collections from the letter boxes which had not been opened for 10 days
 q started out with Mexican who knew no English. I knew no Spanish. We had time. but he showed me the boxes, we opened them up and got out the letters. At one box near the main plaza where the fighting was very hot on April 21 we found the lock shot to pieces and 20 M more bullet holes through the letter box. We had to get a saw to file the lock and when we got into the box we found the letters therein all shot to pieces and some so badly mutilated that they could not be for warded. I soon learned that boxes were 'buzon in Spanish and that letters were cartas.'
 Helping the Blind
 'On this round we came to a poor Mexican woman who was blind. It has always been my custom to give to such, and as passed her I stopped and gave her a quarter. This seemed to surprise the natives very much as they have been taught that Americans were the epitome of all that was bad. I learned after wards that the carrier with me reported that little incident to his fellow workers. and it may be that it was the entering wedge that put me in the good graces of the force. The Mexican carriers were very efficient, worked hard and gave the best that was in them. When I came to leave they gave me written testimonial of how they liked to serve with me as their jeve (superintendent.
