Although noithweslern apple grow,

discovered that tlio rlvo jqor nveraeo,
Innhiillnrr those two disastrous seas

indication that the same avoraRo will
bo maintained Tor the future, assur
ing nfflticnco nnd Independence If
orchardlsts take proper precautions
to meet fluctuation!! from year to
year. Tho situation was thus sum
med tip today by W. P. Owln, vlco
president and general manager of tho
Northwestern Fruit Bxchnnge. In giv
ing out results to tho Itoguo ltlvcr
Krult and Produce Association fcf
Medtord, Or?Ron. This Is a co-operative
organization shipping the bulk
of the fruit output or the llogue
Ulver valley. The average for 1SM4
shipments was CI cents per box, but
for tho pats five years It was 11.04,
soiling charges of the exchange hav
ing been deducted.
Cmitc Sinking Fund
"The orchardlst must take the ex
cess above a dollar ier box In good
years." declared Mr. Owln, "and
create a sinking fund therewith to
flnnnco himself in the poor years.
Having received this warning, he
shoulud not complain If bankruptcy
overtakes him as a result of dlsslpat
tlng his reserve In land and stock
speculations, automobiles, fine resi
dences nnd trips abroad. These
things are all right when we can af
ford them but the last thing we can
afford Is to gamble with the capital
rcqpired to operate our business.
Just now tho grower Is suffering a
severe headache, the result of a pro
longed speculative debauch. The
thing to do is to sober up and faco
tho situation as other business men
aro doing. The result is sine to be
lasting prosperity."

BOMB HURLERS OUT OF MERE BOYS
"Russianizing Our Police System,"

Tills Is the main ipieKtlou that the trial of tho alleged auiirehlHtH,
t'arhoiio nnd Annum, brings before the American people,
Tlum Is evidence tending to show that the Iiojh now' on trial
would tiflihor hao inado gun powder nor taken a bomb (o .St.

resentntlvi!) of the police department of Now York City. CreatTiig
crime In order to prevent crime Is a common police iractlin)n
the older civilisation of Itussla. Wo should liol Hiiiictttiifthl
practice In the United States. It Is neither wise nor til nceo'rdnnce
with n ron.oiiahlo standard of social morality,
If It W true that these boys were Induced to commit a felony
by a police detective, and If such a course Istiventually approved
by public opinion, It Is the beginning oof the ItusKlanlrlug of tho
American police system. It will constitute a backward move
toward the worst features of old-world tyrituulleul government.
The( logical end of such a beginning Is an AMKItlCAN
SIlUCltl'.M
v There Is enough violence, anarchy and crime nlrendy, without
having u city go Into the business of manufacturing It I The ex
cuse that this course Is resorted to to prevent crime Is not, In my
opinion, VALID. It has been amply proved, over and' over again
that violence breeds violence. I believe that lawlessness and
violence, when used by representatives of the public, are fully as
dcmoralUIng as when used by nuarcblstHl
Of course. It Is foolish to Infer that twentieth century
America will ever allow a complete or eVn a seml-ltiisslaiiUIng
of Its police. Hut an lininedlate crystallrntlon or public opinion,
to prevent such n conspiracy iih certain witnesses decline was per

In order to derive net returns to

must bo deducted from tho above.
This Is the assessment of the growers
upon themselves to cover cost of as
sembling, loading nnd all local ex

The only other district which has
sold Its fruit through the exchange
for five years Is tho Cashmere Fruit
Growors' Union of tho Wenatchee
valley. On 077,982 boxes Its grand
average was 97 V4 cents per box. Tho
reason for tho superior averago or
Itoguo Hlver Is that most of Its ap

whereas Cashmero has a big volume

NEW YORK, April 12. 'Hand
made anarchists! Uonrti hurlors sup
Idled to order! Apply New York po-
. llco force!"
j Is this a Just summing up of Now
. York's "anarchist case?"
Are Frank Almrno nnd Carmine
Combone victims of a tlevUlsh "Rus
sian" police plot?
Or did those two Italian youths
actually scheme of tholr own free
will to blow up New York's famous
rathodral St. Patrick's and inau
gurate a reign of terror which, ac
cording to the police Imagination,
would have made tho boinbsearred
streets of Manhattan run rod with
blood?
There Isn't a radical, an anarchist,
a reolutlonnry in the city who does-,
n't nsrert tho "anarchist trial" Is a
frame-up.
There Isn't a police official who
doesn't deny the charge snvagoly!
The police spy. Amedeo Pollg
nnnl, who mingled with the anar
chists and claims he "got the goods
on thorn," Iidb told nt the trial a
story diametrically opposlto to that
told by the two Italians nnd their
witnesses.
Tho court wa scrowdod whon ho
first appcarod. Leading anarchists
and revolutionaries being present,
among them Charles T rosea, the I.
W. W- leader, Louise Ilorger and
Pletro Allogro, famous anarchists,
who raised funds to back thoaccus-
ed. At every appearance the spy has
brcn hissed nnd made the object of
hateful glares.
On the stand he told how ho had
Intsluunted himself Into tho New
York anarchist circles, nnd how, dog
ging tho stops of his now "friends'
Carmine Carhnne and Frank Almr
no, In? had henrd them talk of using
bombs to attain their ends. Ho said
he Joined in the -plot, which he claims
they originated, to destroy St. Pat
rick's cathedral, and that ho met
Abarno there. He declared that Abar
no lighted tho fuse of his bomb with
a clgur, and concealed It under his
coat when ho entered tho church.
Put then Almrno, called for the de
fense, had told a wholly different
story.
Ho declares that tho detective
sought his company, continually din
ned Incendiary doctrines into his cars
ii ml finnllv hiiifccstcd Unit thfiv inakct
some bombs with which to blow up
shops and wealthy residences.
! 'When he asked me to mnke
! Itnmdtf ant.l Uin.nn ', 1.l I.I... I,

was terrible. I did not think tho an
archist theory depended on violence.
Put he threatened me and called
me a coward, and .n?d If I disap
pointed hi tn he Would cut me up. Ho
showed me n knife."
Cnruone. tho other defendant, hnd
previously asserted that he was fore
e dby threats and blows to purchase
the material for the bombs.
"One block froip the church."
Almrno continued, completing his
story, "1 Bald 1 was not going In, and
the police spy said, 'You hud better
go.' I said 1 would go In and' walk
right out again. I slcftcned nt the
thought of sacrificing human lives. I
sat down In n tew nnd Just rested,
nnd walked back to Pollgunnl, and
said there too many to bo sacrificed.
While standing there I wns grabbed
by tho detective. Pollgnani said,
'Why didn't ou light that bomb?'
I didn't light it. If they nccttse me
of that they tell LIF.S!
Many witnesses bncked up the as
sertions of tho two HOYS. Ten por
sous tostifled that they had frequent
ed the nnarchist circles, had often
heard Pollgnani and his alleged vic
tims talking, and that the spy was
tho only ono who had over suggest
ed violence.
