NORTHWEST FRUIT MEN
TO THAT EXTENT

The Reconstruction Finance corpor-
alton is willing to make loan OF 5O
cents a box to apple growers OF wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho to help pro-
duce this years crop, but refuses TO
make a loan of 81 cents, which the
growers asked according to news
story published in the Spokane Spokes-
man-RevieW, of February 8.
After an investigation covering two
weeks the corporation found it costs
62 cents on an average to produce
box of apples in the northwest and
that apples are now bringing but 6O
cents a box Growers, having their
lands already mortgaged, asked g.
cent loan, to be secured merely by
a lien on their crops.
The corporation held this is not
sound business, especially on a fall
ing market, and countered with pro-
posal to loan so cents.

growers, accompanied by Senators DIN

posal the corporation has taken under
advsement.
1t was suggested that growers should
be able to obtain some financial aid
from the railroads, in view OF the large
tonnage involved, but growers said that
this is not possible, especially in view
of the fact the carriers had agreed

County Rod and Gun Club
Has Been Organized

Organization of the Benton County
Rod and Gun Club was perfected Tues
day evening at a meeting held IN
Kennewick, attended by W. F. Shaw
and j. M. Shinn of this community.
The object of the organization is to
promote a better understanding be-
tween the hunters and the farmers OF
the county; to protect the property OF
the farmers, and to promote the pro-
pagation of game fish and game birds.
1t is planned to have every person
in the county who gets hunting and
fishing license automatically become
member of the organization. Members
OF the executive committee will be
chosen from each community in the
county In this way any member OF
the organization who has some bust
ness to bring up before the state game
commission will bring his business up
before the member of the executive
committee from his community, who
will in turn bring the matter before
the county organization and that Or
ganization in turn present 1t to the
state commission.
This plan of operation is necessary
because the state commission has
made public the statement that they
will not listen to individual complaints
and recommendations, but will hear
| only what organizations of sportsmen
have to say.
| Officers of the club elected Tuesday
evening are: Chairman, w. Hulet;
vice-chairman, K. Chellis; secretary,
H. Watson, and treasurer, j. Martin.

Freight Rate on Apples
Is To Be Reduced

A saving of approximately IL cents
per box in freight rates for Western
apple growers on shipments to Eastern
markets will become effective ,Satur-
day, February II.
Permission to- reduce the rate 81
cents per hundred was asked by the
western railroads In the early part OF
January. The eastern railroads agreed
to the lower rate in the latter part
of the month and the Interstate Com
merce Commission on February con-
hrmed it, The rate has to be posted on
a Today basis, which would make 1t
become effective February II.
The saving will approximate 1914 per
car on fruit bound to points east of
the Mississippi and $50 car for fruit
going into sections west of the Mis-
sissippi
1t was estimated that apple holdings
in the Wenatchee district on Febru-
| airy were about 5000 cars and nearly
| 1000 cars in the Yakima district. 1t
is figured that the lower freight rate
will mean saving on the apples still
| in storage in this state of around
100000.
The rate as published is temporary
rate, effective until June 80, 1898.
Apple growers of Virginia West Vir-
ginia and Maryland filed protests
against the proposed rate reduction
but their objections were overruled by
| the l. C.. G.
A petition is to be filed at once ask
| ing that the reduced rate be made per-
nanent and fruit men who have beer
instrumental in securing the reduction
are confident that this can be done, as
they say that nearly all of the rail
road executives are in favor of such
action
Some of the growers and shipper:
are in favor of starting movement
for a further reduction of Is cent:
per hundred to the pre-War level o.
81 per hundred
