Blacksmith and Wagonmaker HORSE SHOEING A SPECIALTY 25 Years Experience IN THE APPLE WORLD YAKIMA AGAINST CENTRAL AGENCY The Yaklmn Itepulilfe says the pliiu to form u ceu trul xt-lllng agency for the marketing of 1'acUlu Northwest fruit hus "gone on the rocks," be cause Wenatchce growers rejected the proposition. In discussing the matter the Yakima newspaper refers to one of the reasons that actuated the Wenatchee orchardlsts In their action, namely, that "they want to form ii selling aKH'cy of their own Then the Yakima journal proceeds as follows: "The objection contains the kernel of the tlilnjr. It betrays tht weak ness of the whole plan of establish ing a ceutralllnjr agency of the North' west districts. "There Is not, and there never was, any reason to believe that such an ambitious plan would succeed under present conditions, anil If Wenatchee and other districts had all taken hold of It, It would linve petered out In a short time, or would have fallen Into the hands of private speculators "Why talk about organizing the fruit men of three states when we have not organized any district? When we haven't formed a working association In any single valley or neighborhood? When the apple growers of no section or territory have come forward and slgnllied their willingness to organize oreveu their belief In the principle of organi zation? To go ahead with a plan such as lias been outlined Is like building a house without a foundation. "The Yakima Kepuhllc will be frank about this matter and will say that It has no great amount of confidence In the central selling agency plan. It Is not convinced that anything of the kind Is necesaary just now, even though It may Ik? practicable. "What we of the Yakima country want Is au organization of the Yakl mn fruit growers which will enable those engaged In the Industry here to present :i solid front to the world on all matters that concern It, anil will enable our producers to deal as one man or business Institution with those who grow apples, those who handle supplies and those who grow fruit. ."Organizations sucli as this have done much for Mood Klver and Wen atchee farmers. They are wholly practicable in any producing district. They may 1k made the basis for a central selling agency whenever they are perfected and are able to com mand the confidence of producers and the respect of dealers, and the forma tion of such an agency will be a very simp!-! matter then. "A good many gentlemen who have been Interested In this proposed plan will feel disappointed If It falls through. They have done good work from purely patriotic motived. We hope they will not let their disap pointment put an end to their work. The Industry needs them nnd their efforts. We think they should back up and go to work again on a plan to organize Yakima County. If they can suceeed In doing that they will add substantial value to every box of fruit grown In the valley every year. If they can't do It or, per haps we ought to say, until thev have done It the money In the fruit business will not Ih for the men who own the orchards." Whitehead's Utah Land Plaster Arsenate of Lead Vitrol Lime and Sulphur Solution Lime Seed Oats Vetch Whitehead's PRIZE CAR COST ASHLANDS2,068.79 During a somewhat acrimonious discussion of over an hour a consider able portion of Monday evening's commercial club meeting, says the Ashland Kecord was consumed in going over last fall's campaign at the national apple show at Spokane where the carload of yellow New towns from Helm's orchard made a high score and was afterwards sent to Chicago. During the course of the evening much Information was dug up from the archives and after both sides had gotten through the cost of the campaign and Its various Items was fairly well established. The total cost of the commercial club, Including the SlTA) raised by popular subscription to nsxlst In sending the car to Chicago, foots up if.'OGH.T'j; One of the trustees figured It out that the handling of the m) boxes of apples cost $1.$0 per box. 1'1'he matter of fixing the responsi bility for the alleged large amount of cost was not especially saddled up on any one, and the archives estab lished the fact that the commercial club had nt various times voted Us authority and authorized everything that was done. PREDICTS 10,000 CARS1: FOR GRAND JUNCTION, COL Clyde H. Smith, assistant secretary of the American Apple Congress, ex pects that the Western Slope tills year will ship 10,000 cars of fruit. He says that the Colorado apple crop will lie the largest In Its history. Montrose county Is credited with an output of 1,000 cars of fruit, chiefly apples; Delta, 3,500, with about l,0t0 peaches, and Mesa county, -1,.'iini ears of fruit, (iarfleld will probably pro duce 1.000 cars. THE DEATH OF A CZAR. Dramatio Story of the Way Nicholas I, Committed Suicide. There are various stories of the death of the Czar Nicholas I. Here Is one which the great singer Mario heard from a doctor of the court and which Is told in "The Romance of a Great Singer:" 'When the Russian army was meet ing with reverse after reverse in the Crimean war the czar sent for his doc tor and demanded to know which was tlio quickest and most painless poison that he knew of, bluntly telling the startled phvslrlun that he had re solved to commit suicide. lie further warned the doctor in the stern manner which was his characteristic that If he were not oleyed the doctor's life would bo worthless. Ho sharply silenced the man's nervous remonstrances and coni- mandiHl him to bring the poison. The doctor did not dare to refuse and a few minutes later brought a small vial containing the poison, which he as sured the czar would deprive any one of existence In a few minutes. To be sure that he had beea obeyed and that the doctor was spea H.ng the truth the czar obliged him to remain In the room warning him that If the poison failed his life should answer for It The czar took the poison without the least tre mor or the movement of a muscle, and. although twice told by the doctor, who held his watcli in his hand, that there was time to save him by an antidote should he alter his mind, the czar re fused, answering the second entreaty by simply waving the man away, he by that time being unable to speak. It was given out t tint the czar had died from the effects of re severe chill, but those who knew the facts also know that he had committed suicide rather than face the defeat of his army." Carlyle an Intemperate Smoker. For about seventy of his eighty-six years Carlyle smoked and made most of his contemporaries smoke. The trouble with him was that; he was too fond of smoking a rank pipe on an empty stomach. That gave him pains niitt his contemporaries particular pains, for "pulr auld Carlylo" was as savage as a meat house dog all the time. He cared for but two men In the world, Tennyson and Pickens. All the rest were "pulr, feckless, reek less, Intemperate bladders and gas bags," mid all because Tom did not know how to clean his pipe and keep It clean and would smoke before break fast.

Miss Marjorie liked Spanish life and customs, and she approved bullfights and the dark eyed devoted Spanish cavaliers who twanged the guitar un der her balcony on moonlight nights. Then appeared on the scene Marquis de Vallos, whose earnest courtship led Mr. Ide to send his daughter to the Riviera, to Paris and to London, the marquis always following. Now she has been sent to America to visit her sister and friends, but It Is whispered that Don Alfonso Is preparing to fol low her home aa well. The marquis, It may be observed. Is considered the handsomest man at the court of Spain. He Is a tall, dashing nobleman from the Basque country and Is possessed of a mountain castle, ne serenaded her nightly until the young American decided to astonish the Spanish court, and she Invited Marquis do Vallos to ride with berone morning. This was a shock to Span ish ideas of duennas nnd other hani perlngs of courtship, but it succeeded. Cut his mother, the mnrquese. ob jected to an International alliance, and so did Mr. Ido.
