MAY SHIP FRUIT
BY WATER ROUTE
Representative of Yakima Ship
pers is Making Investiga-
. lions in the East. Fl

Yakima fruit growers and shippers
may be able to get space in the near
future on the fleet of 40 boats being
built by the Isthmian Steamship COM
pany for service to all parts of the
world as a result of conference be-
tween Secretary o. C. Scots of the
Commercial club and representatives
of the company in Seattle the latter
part of this week. Scots says the
company is building the fleet for serv-
ice from the Pacific coast to all parts
of the world and are now considering
whether part Of the ships will be
converted into refrigerator bottoms,
says the Yakima Republic.
w. j. Urquhart, who is in the east
looking into the car situation, will
probably go on to New York to inter-
view J. w. Ryan, president of the COM
pany, on the proposition. Scots points
out that Urquhart will show Ryan that
between the citrus fruit of California
and the fruit of the northwest several
boats could be kept in service the year
round.
"The Seattle agents were inclined to
favor the proposition if our shippers
could pay a rate of about 60 cents a
box for apples and establish some CO.
operative scheme of shipment with
the citrus growers of California" said
Scots. 81 think we can do business
profitably with this company"
The port commission Of Seattle has
furnished Scots with the cost Of hand
ling apples on the wharfage and in
storing apples on the wharfage and in
storage there. A cost of four cents a
box is levied by the commission for
apples loaded directly from the cars to
the boat. The price includes wharf
age and allows five days in the stor-
age sheds for assembling.

YAKIMA VALLEY STILL
IN CLEAR ON REFERS
Traffic Manager Wires That Refrig-
orator Car Shortage Is
Serious.

Although Yakima and Wenatchee
are still in the clear, the refrigerator
car situation for the. entire country
is bad at present, according to tele-
gram received by Secretary o. C.
Scots of the ComWercial club, from
w. j. Urquhart, manager of the Traf-
fic & Credit association, who is in the
east making survey of the car situa-
ton and attempting to keep an ade-
quate supply of REFERS in the North
west district, says the Yakima Repub-
lie. The wire follows:
"The refrigerator situation country
wide looks desperate for the present.
There is serious shortage in Califor-
MIA, Michigan, New York and Virginia,
with a large movement in box cars
from these sections, particularly of
grapes from California. There is a
reaction caused by previous losses,
shortage of money, uncertainty Of rade
demands, prices and increased freight
rates, resulting in sloY movement
and consequently delay in unloading.
Virtually all eastern refrigerators are
retained for eastern crops; also are
holding western refrigerators for the
same purpose. The Pacific Fruit Ex-
press is now filling only an average Of
55 per cent of their requirements.
These factors are bound to affect the
| Washington and Oregon refrigerator
supply later. =, :.
the clear and am bending every effort
so there will not be slackening of the
supply. 1t is a somewhat delicate sit
uation to keep protected while other
sections are suffering. Water street
dealers frankly admit holding back
on purchasing on account of the heavy
eastern crop. They consider prices
are too high both east and west. The
latter is particularly hampered by the
extremely high freight rates.
"They are awaiting a reduction of
prices and maintain the New York Of
fering of $3.50 to 81 for barrels, f. o.
b., grade A, 2 LIZ inches of greetings;
Baldwins in bushel baskets $1.1OA, f.

movement Of eastern into Iowa, Ne
braska, Minnesota and Dakota at prob
ably around $1.50 bushel delivered"

Gastronomlc Animals.

One occasionally hears the question |:
sis 1t Welsh rarebit or Welsh rabbit7"
It is Welsh rabbit. "Rarebit" is only
an altered form of the rabbit" an
afterthought intended to simulate an
absurd derivation from "rare" and
''bit," as the Century dictionary char
acterizes 1t. "Welsh rabbit" itself Is
genuine slang" and belongs to the
class of names Of jocular origin. There
are many others; an Essex lion is a
calf; Fieldlane duck is a baked
sleeps head; Glasgow magistrates or
Norfolk capons are red herrings; Irish
apricots or Munster plums are po-
tatoes; and Gravesend sweetmeats are
shrimps, to name over few examples
taken from English usage. AT the mo-
menr the only American samples that
can be offered are the Albany beef
(sturgeon) and Cape Cod turkey (cod-
fish).

After Sandy Chipmunk, wltn

from Farmer Green, he ran nome

he met. He felt very proud.

letter for me in the mail-box. It's

I believe Farmer Green would
have taken it if L hadn't reached
the box before him.

he had letter.

said. But the question is, to
whom does it really belong? If
the truth were known, | guess
that letter rightfully belongs to a

That remark made Sandy an
cry.

told Mr.. Grow. Here's my picture
on it. You can see for yourself" !"
Now, Mr.. Grow could not read
either - for all he was so old.
And when he saw the picture of a
chipmunk on the envelope, ex-
actly like Sandy, he was very
much surprised.
why don't you open your let

Sandy replied. So he tore open
