By H. E. KREHBIEL

We had supposed, and even fondiy
hoped, that we were through with rem
iniscences and comments invited by the
Philharmonic Society's Jubilee. But
correspondents continue TO invite both.
Mr.. W. r. Cock, Of Plainheld, n. Jo
whose interesting olden time gossip
we printed last Sunday, sends, with
scarce a word Of comment, q number
of the society's annual announcements,
which are full Of significance, in view
Of the protestations Of virtuous pur-
pose and lofty intention making to-
day which intelligent observers are try
Tag 70 bring into eonsonance with the
soeiety's performance and pretenSions.
A pompous claim was put forth IN be-
half Of the society some weeks ago be-
cause Of the number Of concerts which
u has Kivsn since its Reorganization
a. compared with the past. The num-
Der IL truly large, but not out Of pro
portion 70 the total number Of concerts
given in New York fifty years ago.
Moreover, there was a misrepresenta-
ton, no doubt unintentional, in the
comparison between then and now. As
was intimated last week, the Thursday
evening and Friday afternoon concerts
are identical as TO programme. For
many years the ~Public Rehearsals," as
they were called, took place on the
afternoon of the day preceding the
concert, the plan being modified pol
icy Of an old system which permitted
associate members (of which there
were ss5 IN 1862 70 attend reheArsals,
which were practically concerts, eI-
espt that, as We know, the conductor
drilled the orchestra as he now does
Ia private, stopping, repeating, correct
ing, regardless Of the presence Of an
audience. The associate members Of
that time considered this a decided ed
uestionsl help. The prospectus for the
sesson 1886 announces two after
noon and one morning rehearsal for
each Of the FIVE concerts, making
twenty concerts in all as against the
present. number since admission was
given 10 non-subseribsrs al the price
Of 80 cents for each rehearsal.
The prospectus OF the twenty
seventh season. 1S6S-'e9, is particular
~ interesting as indicative Of the spirit
Of the society a. time when the per
formers gave the concerts at their own
risk and did their duty by the art
whether they derived benefit or suffered
loss because Of their efforts. Here are
the essential features Of the proclama.

Anyone not possessing patience

way of irrigating for it is necessary
these days to patrol the flume in or

runs where it is needed.

cars, Mr.. Robinson referred in detail
to the conditions which have heretofore
prevailed, particularly last season, and
also gave the details of the amount Of
storage facilities for the protection Of
such fruit as may not be moved as
soon as ready. He pointed out that in
the Yakima Valley there is storage
for probably so per cent of the crop,
in the Wenatchee Valley hardly that
per centage, and similarly in other
districts-less than fifty per cent. He
also presented the estimate that there
would be probably 5000 cars of apples
out of Wenatchee, 5000 at least out Of

HELP TO MOVE
THE APPLE CROP
Shortage of the California Citrus
Fruit Crop will Release Cars
for the Northwest

As tn. outcome of the representa-
lions to the authorities at Washington
CITY the Northwest apple crop move
ment this season will probably be
greatly facilitated. Foc some lime
past, ]. Curtis Robinson, chairman OF
the transportation and storage COM
mittee of the Fruit Growers agency,
has been giving his time to the import
ant question of car supply, and on
July 25 last forwarded important facts
concerning the shortage in the orange
and lemon crop of California which
will undoubtedly mean that with pro-
per management some of the cars not
used for the citrus movement this year
will be available for the Northwestern
apple crop.
"The fact is, according to reliable
information" states Mr.. Robinson,
"that so to 60 per cent of the normal
crop of oranges in California are es-
timated to have been destroyed, and
from 1900 to 1900 cars of lemons. This
crop is usually moved in cars furnish
ed by the Pacific Fruit Express COM
pany and the Santa Fe railway, with
possibly some Armour cars. With such
a crop shortage as this there will un-
doubtedly be equipment to spare for
other districts. The citrus crop does
not move from California in volume
until January, February and March,
and the heaviest movement is from
March to June. The movement of VAL
encias is generally over by December
LIST, altho they may be held a little
later this year account of the shortage
of Navels. 1t is in November, Deem
Der and January, between seasons in
California, that we in the Northwest
have the greatest need for refrigera-
tor cars for apple shipments. This
particular condition in California is
highly important to fruit interests in
the Northwest, and we accordingly
made full representation to all con-
cerned in Washington City, including
the commission on car service of the
National board of Defense, the Agri-
cultural transportation service, and
also the full information was sent to
Senator Wesley L. Jones. Senator
Jones has already replied that he
would call this correspondence to the
attention Of the President, the Council
of National Defense and the Secretary
Of Agriculture and with a promise to
use the information in every way pos
sible to take care Of the apple crop
situation. Senator Jones also sent a
copy Of the letter containing the citrus
crop information to Mr.. Herbert C.
Hoover, with whom he has discussed
the matter and who is, states Senator
Jones, very earnestly in favor of TAX
ing care of the apple CROP"
That the issue is before the author
tiles in vital way is indicated also
by press dispatch which bears the
date Of August 4, and in which Mr..
Hoover is quoted as stating that next
seasons crop of citrus fruit in Cali
fornia would be $4,000 to 10000 cars
below normal, and should it be neces-
sary he believed the railways serving
the citrus territory in California
would willingly consent to diversion
of a certain amount Of their refriger-
ator equipment to the North Coast TO
move the apple crop

Mort. west apple crop and its need Of
