This railway was one of the Impor tant subjects discussed by the czar and the kaiser on the occasion of the for mer's visit to Potsdam, and the result, according to the German press, Is that Russia has been persuaded to desert ro (ONSTAHTIHOPlt 11 BOUTB OP BAGDAD RAILWAY. Great Htitalu and Trance and form an alliance with Germany. The latter has obtained Turkish sanction to complete the railway to Itiifjilad, and It will be Russia's duty to construct a line to the frontier of northern Persia. Ily the original scheme the German and French capitalists were to partici pate financially in the respective pro portions of 00 and 40 per cent Although the Turkish government has prlven Its consent to the completion of the mad to Constantinople by Ger many, there Is considerable feeling lu the Turkish empire nirainst Russia's maneuvers, which practically forced the Rtiltan Into Hue. The P.aplad railway is the revival of the old idea of connecting the Medi terranean with the Persian gulf.

The next one, through the Taurus mountains, will Involve groat expense, it Is believed. The route lies through the pass known as the Clclliati Kates and the Ainauus gate. After piercing the Taurus the route lies for hundreds of miles along the Mesopota mia!! plain via Mosul and Raudad to Kowcit, on the Persian gulf Rut the F.nglish are likely to dis count the Importance of the P.agdad railway as a means of communication between India und Kurope, ns they are projecting a direct tiaiispetsiaii route Moreover, the Rrltlsh government is likely to be consulted before the Rag dad road Is definitely settled upon. Many sceues of historic Interest will be placed within travelers' reach by the Hagdad railway, such as Reliok ali's well, Neseliur and lis ruins nnd Ilaran, with Its ancient tower, the hit ter being a remnant of the temple erected by Nalmiinld, the last Raby Ionian king.

Hi I r i i P IN THE APPLE WORLD CLAIMS SUPERIORITY FORJrVENATCHEE That trnilern and illstrilnitorn of tipple regard the fruit of the W'v nutchee Vnlley an better thnti thnt of Hood River, Oregon, miyn the We. nn tehee Republic, Is evidenced by u letter received today by t lie We. mi tehee Dally Republic from Rae & Hatfield, of New York. Rue & Hatfield nre one of the old est and moHt prominent apple ills trllititliifj flrinn In the I'nlted States. They Import ant export nil kinds of fruit, and make tt specialty of high grade nppleH. In their letter to the Daily Republic they comment on the superiority nhown on the eastern market by Wenatchee Splt.enbergs over Hood River fruit of the mime variety, und add that the Wenatchee Wliicsaps und other varieties grown In this valley are In a class by them- selves. Their letter folio wh: New York, March 17. 1911. "The Wenatchee Dally Republic, "Wenatchiv, Wash. ''It might interest the readers of the Wenatchee Dally Republic to know that In the past week there have been several cars of Hood River valley fancy SpItZ'Miliurgs Hold ly public sale here. The tirst car aver aged around ?2(X), sizes from 51s to litis; the second car prices ranged from $!.." to $1 Do for the same run of sizes, und averaged $1.05 for the car. on the name ilay there arrived a car of Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers' Association Spitzenburgs, which sold from $J .".il to ?-'.73 as to sizes. The Hood River fruit had everv appearance of being held too long, which wns In sharp contrast to that of the Wenatchee fruit, which showed exceptionally line ijuallty In deed, and which naturally accounts for the differences lu prices realized.! This speaks volumes f. r your section as far as this particular variety Is concerned. Of course, the Wenatchee Wincsaps ami other varieties are In a class by thetnsevles, and usually real ize correspondingly high prices, "Yours very truly, "Rak & II V I l lKI.K."

This reminds me of a little story. In a town in southern Michi gan, w here I was raised as a boy, lived a peculiar kid named II. It. He had an aunt as peculiar, because she was about as large one way as the other. II. I!, and his mother visited his aunt lit the country and the aunt t tied to be good to H. 1!. by trying to hold him on her lap. The boy kept slipping down and the aunt kept 'hunching hi in up. Finally he got tired of slipping, so he yelled out: 'M.i.I want to sit on something Hat.' Now, produce dealers, egg and but ter storers, wouldn't It le well this year to sit on something tint?" Apple .Market Better The Produce News this week says that the demand for barreled apples is more active and there Is some ad vance on strictly fancy fruit. Raid wins nnd Greenings, which are about the only barreled stock here, take a w ide range, many Greenings show ing scald. Fancy to extra fancy P.aldwliis sell ..Vi0; Greenings, $. ti.."i(i. t ireeti lugs are scarce. Receipts are moderate at the pier and local storage holdings are pretty well cleaned tip. I'.oxed apples are In liberal supply, but the demand Is enlarging nnd the trade is In better shape than for some time, although prices have not advanced. Fancy to extra fancy stock Is selling l'('l2. ."(). Receipts of late have contained more poor fruit than for some time. It Is estimated by one dealer that Cm per cent of the stock offered this week was ordinary. Stock in weak condition Is selling $1 f 1 7.V There Is little prolit In the higher priced goods. IValcrs say the consumptive demand seems to be more general this month, and they look for a great reduction of stock this month, followed by nn advance. The export business Is about over. Fngland will have an unusually large amount of Tasmatilau fruit and the llrst cargo was due In Lon don tills week. London expects over I'lHi.oiMl boxes in April and ;:h.ih s boxes In all t his season. Chicago Apple -Market Steady There Is a steady movement of ap ples from storage with an Increass ing volume and without any break. Dealers do not l.iok for itnv advance, nor Is there any break In sight. Sev eral (inns moved n larger iiuiiiIht of boxen this week than last. One par ticularly heavy operator last week brought tint ia,(HM boxes, while IJ,. IXM) boxes were disposed of this week. The heaviest run on varieties was on lilack Twigs, Staymens and Spitz enburgs. The Jonathans have lieen pretty well cleaned up, and bnt a few scattering ones are offered. Wine saps are Is'lng held back, for they are good until June. Stiles to the local trade have leen steady and a (itiantlty has been taken readily.
