It will he noted that this car contain

Ben Davis and Kenator all Jumbled together
In the earn. box. A grower putting up a
pack of fruit of this kind does not deserv
to gel s good prlc for It.
Crop C end It lone.
Every one I Interested at thl time In
thip condition throughout the Northwest.
It my 1 md os a g-neral rule, that th
apples An noi appear to have been hurt in
any district ontsld. of the Yakima N alley.
W. ". (lain, general manager of this ex
change, hns just returned from trip to
rWoilhern Idaho, There I a heavy bloom on
the apple tree-a there, and a large crop is
certain unless that district la visited by
further frost. other varieties of fruit sp
pear I have suffered very little. Prune ap
pear to have been hurt worse than any other
variety, and the damage 10 the prune lass
yet undetermined, but In any vent It i
not seem 10 b. very large. The growers are
expecting a large crop of apples.
In houlhern Oregon not s great deal 01
damage waa done by the front, on account
of the magnlrlceiit work done by Professor
O-Cara In warning the grower and urging
and Insisting upon th need of smudging.
Most of th larger growers smudged their
orchards and there has been practically no
loss In the orchards so treated. However,
the applfc bloom In Southern Oregon has
been disappointingly light- There was s
heavy showing of buds but It appear that
many of those bud were leaf hud rather
than fruit bud, and It 1 expected that the
apple crop will b comparatively light. Pear
will bo a heavy crop In Southern Oregon.
The district which eem to be mora
damaged than any other tn the entire
Northwest Is th. Yakima Valley. From pri
est, advicea which w. bav. received, and
from r.ewparer report as weH. the Indica
tion ar that the damage la eery severs
to sll kind of fruit. The Yakima Heral.l.
of the Issue of April in. quotes Y skims
Vallov men. who are supposed to be posted
on the situation as estimating s maximum of
IM cars of apples for the season of lii.
as sgalnst 3ikm cars for the season of 101O.
The same Investigator estimate 373 cars
of poaches this yesr as agslnst l-!00 In
mill. The estimated production or Pears
waa placed at 174 cur last year, and with
a loss estimated at S.I pec cent this year,
there would be only 133. Prune and plum
have been figured at 140 care for last yesr.
with a 5.1 per rent loss thl year, making
th probable output only 103 cars. Cherries
snd spi-lrot sr put st 6 csrs.
Kepolta from the Wenatrhee and Hood
River Valleya seem to Indicate that no
damage Its been done by the cold eat her
In those Important district, and that the
outlook la for a considerable crop thl
year. Wenatchea claim to hav prospect
for a very much larger crop In 1MU than
he hd In lWI". although the last crop wa
an extremely heavy one the heaviest la her
history. . . .
To sum up. the situation throughout the
an 1 1 re Northwest Indicates thst romps rX
llvely little damage ha been done, out
side of the Taklma Valley. Such damage as
has been dons in other districts seems to
be confined to early vnrlotles of fruit, snd
is ery difficult to estlmste at this time.
So far aa the general apple crop of the
Northwest Is concerned, there la nothing to
Indicate that It has been seriously Injured,
snd the outlook Is for a Isrgs crop tor ttts
season of I Hi I.

The Financier will say:
Vccordtns to the statement of actual con
ditions, issued by the New Tork Clearlng
Hotise banks for the week, these .netltu
tlons gained only $456,100 in cash aa against
an estimated increase of $6,000,000 Indicated
by the known operations of the last six
days. The statement of averages, however,
Issued Saturdav showed a-pain by the bank
In cash of $6,200,200. It is evident the
returns based on averages reflected earlier
operations, but why the return of actual
conditions failed to show the extent of the
movement of cash In this direction is rather
mysterious.
The changes in the other items were not
Important. In the statement of actual con
dition loans decreased $1,469,800. while de
posits decreased $710,500. The result was
that s reserve on all deposits rose $635,725,
making the actual surplus $40,452,500.
In the statement of averages loans In
creased $306,200. deposits, by reason of the
heavy cash gain already noted, increased
$7 300,90 0 and the reserve on all deposits
rose 14,384.975. bringing the surplus above
the 25 per cent requirement to $40,683,176.
Such an amount of surplus at this season
of ths year Is entirely abnormal.
The summary of trust companies and
other outside institutions for the week In
dicated an increase of $6,029,600 in loans,
which shows that some shifting in the loan
Item as between the banks nnd trust com
panies had been going on. The outside in
stitutions gained $1,374,900 In cash, while
net deposits increased $5,647,100. With sur
plus funds increasing so rapidly In banks an
explanation of the easy money conditions
Is not difficult to make.

PLAGUE CONFEREES SPLIT
United States Sides With China In
Limiting Scope of Campaign.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 29. A semi
ofllclal telegram from Mukden says the
foreign delegates to the International
Plague Conference, which closed In that
city yesterday, are agreed that the con
ference was without practical result.
The delegates Split into three camps,
those from the United States and Eng
land siding with the Chinese, while Ger
many and Austria formed a connecting
link between the first named trio and
representatives of Russia, Japan, France,
Holland, Italy and Mexico. ,
The Chinese took the ground that they
could consider only practical suggestions
In connection with the fight against the.
pneumonic type of plague, and accord
ingly the attempts of other groups to
broaden the . scope of the conference,
proved futile.

AIRSHIP SUIT HANGS FIRE
Three Experts Employed by Tri
bunal to Investigate American
Aeronauts' Claims of l
Patent Priority.
PARIS. April 29. In a decision today
by the third civil tribunal in the suit !
of the Wright Bros, against several ;
French, aeroplane manufacturers for j
an infringement of patents, the court
upheld the contention of the plaintilTa
in principle, but declared that it did
not wish at present to render a definite
decision as the science of aviation w:as
too new to admit of an arbitrary find
ing in such a case.
Therefore the court appointed three
experts to investigate whether there
existed aviation discoveries calculated
to disprove the priority of the Ameri
can aviators' inventions and patents.
The Wright suit against Santos-Pu-mont
was. however, dismissed on the
ground that the defendant constructed
aeroplanes only for his personal use.
In the suits instituted at Paris,
Wilbur and Orville Wright alleged that
the defendants had infringed their
patents, which covered inventions pe
culiar to their machines, laying spe
cial stress on the warping wing prin
ciple, which they claimed to have de
veloped and patented in 1903. The de
fendants disputed the priority of the
Wright discoveries.
NEAR-FIGHT IN INQUIRY
Bar Investigation at Pendleton En
livened by Threat.
TENDLETON. Or., April 2. (Spe
cial.) The session of the bar inves
tigation committee lust nisrht was en
livened by a near-fist tight between
Will M. Peterson and J. B. Perry, two
of the four attorneys under investiga
tion. According- to information which
became public today the personal clash
was narrowly avoided by President
Carter, of the Bar Association, who
rushed between the would-be combat
ants. "I told him you were, a liar and that
I was ready to lick you," shouted Peter
son when Jerry St. Denis, the witness
on the stand, refused to answer ques
tions as to whether he had ever heard
Peterson made any. threats against
Perry.
"You are a bluffer and I dare you to
make good, that threat," retorted Terry
in even more emphatic language, as he
prepared for the threatened attack
Just as the two belligerents were about
to clash. Carter stepped between them.
Both are said to have made threats as
to what would occur after the session
adjourned, but all ended peaceably.
Though the sessions have all been
held behind closed doors, it is reported
each has been heated anf! that the ac
cused and accusing attorneys have de
nounced each other unmercifully,
threatening at times to end the ses
sions in turmoil.
The testimony of Attorney Douglas
W Bailey is yet to be taken before
the committee willbe ready to report.
