TroopM Itaid Pasco Restaurant.
Pasco, Wash., Aug. 18. Because
the charges In the Northern Pacific
and Eagle restaurants were much too
high, three companies of North Da
kota National Guardsmen, Monday,
raided both places, carried away ev
erything edible and were only pre
vented from confiscating all of the
cigars by a young employe with a
loaded revolver.
The proprietors of the two raided
restaurants have telegraphed to the
North Yakima authorities of the oc
currence. The proprietors want to
recover for damages, but they are
in a quandary whom to sue. Their
question is this: "Are those men
private citizens In the service of the
State of North Dakota, or a part of
the United States Army under the
Dick law?"

Eastern apple men are studying north

so In Missouri, one of the greatest ap

very evident that many horticultur

market value.
In this connection the following

of the week. Returning borne they

"The people of Missouri have learn
ed to look to Oregon for intelligent
information pertaining to horticult
ure," said Mr. Stark at tbe Portland
recently.
"The Miasouii State Board cf Hor
ticulture consists of six members and
a teoretary. Of the seven, four shall
have visited the fruitgrowing sections
of your slate before the truit season
closes tbla year. Our secretary, W.
L. He ward, already baa visited tbe
state and studied horticultural condi
tions. Mr. Irvine, who accompanies
me, wblie not a member of the board,
ia closely identified with the froit In
terests of our state. During tbe pick
ing season T. U. Todd, treasurer of
the board, aud J. H. Christian, vice
president, will spend some time ia
Oregon. Mr. Todd is an extensive
applegrower and oomea to study tbe
methods employed by growers in Ore
gon witb auob successful results. Mr.
Christian Is one of tbe largest fruit
shippers In Mlssoutl and will devote
bis time to studying the methods fol
lowed by the various associations of
tbe fruitgrower here.
'Undeniably Oregon is one of the
greatest fruit sections In tbe country.
Our state is interested particularly in
tbe growing of apples and from tbe
investigation we have made, coupled
with our prior knowledge of the qual
ity of this fruit produced in Oregon,
we are convinced that your state is
entitled to tbe fame it enjoys as a
fruitgrowing d I at i lot.
"llortioulturally, Oregon has a
great many advantages over Missouri.
In tbe first place both climate and
soil are adapted to fruit oulture and
you do not have to contend witb tbe
unfavorable weather conditiona and
numerous pests with which our state
ia infested. You have practically no
apple scab, while our crep this year
is seriously aBeoted witb this blight.
Again, you have a compulsory spiay
ing law. In our state it is optional
with tbe grower whether he takes this
precaution to Insure good fruit.
"Your glowers are organized and
derive tbe benefits from systematic
methods adopted in growing the fruit,
packing, shipping and marketing the
product. Tbe Oregon orobardist also
devotes bis time aud attention exclu
sively to fruitgrowing, while in Mis
souri fruit culture is followed only as
a side issue. Lack of orgaulzation
and oo operation among the growers
completes tbe explanation for tbe po
sition our state occupies boitloultur
ally. "Missouri is long in trees but ahoit
in fruit. There are in tbe state 20,
000,000 apple trees, probably more
than in any other state, yet for the
reasons given, tbe crop will be light.
Tbe members of our boaid are making
a thorough study of horticultural con
ditions, the methods followed in grow
lug, packing, shipping and marketing
In tbe states of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. This information will be
arranged in proper form and submit
trd for tbe education of Missouri or
obsrdists in tbe hope that the stand
ard of our fruit may be raised."
