ITOOD RIVER GLACIER, TIIURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1914 5 i! ? ! f STEiMlARDT & KELLY ARE HEAVY BUYERS I From Produce Newa) AfUt considerable negotiation the final details of the largeat single pur i hafe of fruit in the history of the bui invn mi cumtJi-ted last week. The leal involved the buying outright of over fcotl car of northwestern boxen Himh i and will involve, with negotia tion now pending for another large block, a cash outlay before the ieaaon il ended, of over one million dollara. The principals in thia gigantic deal are Steinliardt & Kelly, the foremoat fancy fruit house in the country, a purcnat era nnd the Northwestern Fruit Ex change, the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers Association, the Yakima Coun ty Horticultural L'nion and uther or ganizations in the isorinwcsi as aeiitn. Uy this arrangement Steinhardt & Kallv arauire the ei.tire output of the famous hkookum apples, the pick of the northwestern fruit packed by the Northwestern fruit bxchange, as wen as a liberal supply of fancy fruit from Mosier, Hood fiiver, Wenatchee and other sections of the northwest. Boiled down to a few words it means tint "New York's fancy fruit house," whose slogan is "The world our orch- .. -1. t . k .. 1.4 ' 1 mill hul.. aru , our muinvb nc bip, .n ihrnuuhout the season, a steady supply of the fanciest fruit that comes out of the northwest. When viewed in the light of condi tions which prevail at present in the apple markets of this country this deal takes on greater proportions than it would under ordinary circumstances. With an enormous crop in sight all over the country, and with financial and business conditions badly disturbed by the European war, buyers have been pessimistic .and nave Kepi away irom the h i j 1 1 1 e producing sections. Usually at this time of the year they are swarming through the apple 'orchards trying to make dickers for the grow ers' fruit, but thia season they have been conspicuous by their absence Firms which ordinarily are heavy oper ators, did not have faith enough in the outlook to risk their money, iney figured if there were any chances to be taken the grower could do it. Jos. 11. Steinhardt, of Steinhardt & Kellv. had a different idea of the situ tion. ile had made a close study of conditions and felt that the pessimistic feeling was not justified. Without say ing anything to anyone he quietly opened negotiations with the north western operators for the fruit his firm would need. He got in at just the psy chological moment, and it did not take him a great while to close contracts on a satisfactory basis to the firm and the sellers for the largest quantity of apples ever purchased by any house. Mr. Steinhardt would not tell the price at which his purchases were made, but did say that the price was sucn mat they could sell fancy boxed apples at a much lower price than ordinarily and still make money. Mr. Steinhardt is an optimist. Ile firmly believes that despite the enor mous croo and disturbed financial con ditions, there will be demand for fancy apples at reasonable figures, which will allow the firm to make a profit. He believes it so thoroughly that he is willing to put their money into it. He is always willing and able to back his opinions financially. If he wins, well and good; if he loses no one ever hears a complaint, xneaeai is an enormous one, involving the out lav of a vast sum of money, but Stein hardt & Kelly are better able to handle it financially and every other way than any other house in the country. 'Their outlet for the class or goous tney win receive from the northwest is unex celled. Northwestern fruit growers have a great deal for which to thank the firm of Steinhardt & Kelly. Practically every year since apple growing became much of a factor in the northweBt Steinhardt & Kelly purchased heavy qauntities of fruit. Sometimes the firm made money, but more often the bal ance was on the other side. ThiB did not deter them, and they came buck ach year for more, culminating in this purchase. Mr. Steinhardt has always dad faith in the future of the northwest as an'apple producer. The firm has as sisted in every possible way to help develop the industry. In November, r.lUH.tliey brought several cars of fancy Hood Hiver boxed apples of various varieties to New York and placed them upon exhibition in New York, advertis ing the exhibition in all the daily pa pers. It was the first chance the New York public had had to see fruit of this character, and the exhibit was crowded all the time. It did more to put Hood Kivor on the rnup as an apple producing section than any other thing that ever was done. Since then the firm has bten a constant booster of the north west, distributing their apples to every part of the Union and abroad. AT THE HIGH SCHOOL The debate at the last literary was won by Aileen Tomkins and Fred Co show, .of the allimiHtive side. Aileen lunik ins took first individual honors and Ella Niehans took second place. There was hut one-third of a point's ditrerence in their average. Hoth of the boys in the detmto were eliminated from the finals for the Woman's club cup.

"As the Crow Flies," is be ing seen at the Gem today. Marrouhat, failing to overtake Ju dith in her flight,- turns back to advise with Ked November. His car arrives on the scene of the fire just as Alan rescued Hose. Kapidly assembling sev eral of November's gang, Marrophat gives them their instructions. The gun men point Alan out to the police as the incendiary. Two policemen arrest him. Alan, suspecting a plot, breaks from his captors and takes to his heels, the mob following. Doubling and twisting through slum streets, Alan finally finds himself on the wster front, with every landward way of escape closed. Hard pressed, he seeks refuge in the rigging of a ship moored alongside. The gun men pur sue; he fights them olT, kicking and pushing several into the water. But the odds proving too heavy, Alan dives from one of the yard arms and starts swimming for mid stream. An aviator. Coast, by name, sailing overhead in a hydroplane, observes the scene, and, his sympathy excited for the gallant fight Alan nuts up, drops to the water and rescues him. The day being , slightly foggy. Coast loses hia way in attempting to locate the Mincola aviation field and hangars. He lands, with his passenger, in a swamp, it is evening before he ana Alan reach the held by motor car. Here Alan charters from Coast a new aeroplane, with the understanding that it is to be held against his order. He then returns to New York. Meantime Harcus has arrived in New York and learned from Digby, Jr., that Alan is being marrned to Kose in New Jersey. lie starts over in the hope of being in at the finish; fate brings him to the scene of the tene ment fire just as Rose is being'kidnap- ped by Marrophat In his motor car. liarcus pursues in a taxicab. Marro phat takes Kose home, interrupting a violent scene between Judith and her father Judith having got home a few minutes earlier. She has been lying to Trine, trying to persuade him of Mar rophat s treachery. But Marrophat a true story of the events (of the morn ing, backed by Hose's testimony, con vinces Trine that Judith Is no longer trustworthy, lie orders his daughters to their rooms. At Marrophat's suggestion Trine de cides to take Rose by special train to Chicago and points west, as a lure to get Alan away from New York into a section of the country where, too, perjudicea of the police are a less seri ous handicap to their designs. Harcus. by shadowing the messenger, learns of the plan, and by bribing the porter and brakeman, substitutes as a porter. He manages to let Alan know of the affair before the tfain leaves. Alan goes to Trine's house and (lis covers Judith a prisoner in her own room. Judith lends a willing hand, the two,making for Van Cortland Park, find Coast and the aeroplane. Ihey start the pursuit and arrive in Chicago the next morning. They learn that Trine a special has passed through on time. They renew the chase, finally overtaking the special'on the plains of Illinois. Alan, with the binoculars, recognizes Barcus on the rear platform. Harcus I sees the aeroplane and suspects that Alan is attempting a rescue. He hast ens to warn Rose. Trine, Marrophat, et. al., sight the biplane a little later. but as tbey do so, it develop engine trouble and sinka to the carta. They dismiss it from their tboaghtt, taking no more precautions than to station the two gun men as goards on the front and back platforms when they go to bed for tba night. The biplane comes to earth near Kansas City. Leaving Coast with in structions to effect repairs and follow, Alan and Judith engage a light engine. On this they pursue Trine'a special. Barcus aees their headlight drawing nearer, and suspect that the moment of rescue is at hand. He proceeds to overpower and throw off the trainmen and gun man on the rear platform ; then ha boot the front platform guard off into the night and hastens to warn Kose. Both are waiting on the back plat form when the light engine overtakes the special and run up close enough for Rose and Bsrcus tn make the leap from the back platform to the cow catcher. Marrophat and Trine rise to the situ ation just in time te complicate the danger. Barcos manages to hold the back door against them until Alan helps Rose from the platform to the light engine, then, forced to release it, makes hia own ecsape in a flying leap under fire. The brakeman of the special, fright ened by the pistol duel, signals full speed ahead, and the special lights out, like a scared jackrabbit. Trine' pro tests to the contrary notwithstanding.
