THE SEATTLE FOST-DiTELLIGENCER. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER I«9T.
GOOD FRUIT IS COMING IN".
RisM In*peetion Shut* Out the In
fected Product—\ rmlor'at iiioek
( onDoraled.
Frult Inspector Brown's efforts to weed
out infected fruit and discourage the ship
( rnent to Seattle of that commodity are
! proving aery successful. He *ays that
while a few weeks ago nearly all the
j fruit coming from California and Ore
gon and some of that coming from east
of the mountains was infected with ei:h
--i er the San Jose scale or the coding
1 moth, now there is s. arc-!y a tnice of
either pest to be found. The shippers
i are sending in perfect fruit, for they
j have learned that the bad stuff in not to
; be marketed here. As a consequence of
the rigid inspection ef fruit the lo al
growers in this state are having a bet
ter market and better prices,
i Inspector Brown desires to impress up
on Washinjtont fruit growers the great
ne*vi of care in packii g their fruit. He
: aays that growers will put excellent fruit,
fine, large and healthy, with scrub stock
Into the sanw box. This greatly hurts
the sale and holds the price down far
below what It would have beer, with more
I careful parking.
Yesterday Inspector Brown stopped an
early morning street fruit peddler. He
examined the fruit on the wagon and
foi nd it full of the codling moth. Mr.
Brown inquired where the pfddier boug.it
the fruit, and was directed to a well
known commission house. They denied
having sold the peddler any fruit. Mr.
Brr.wrn had the whole wagon load de
stroyed. The punishment for selling in
fected fruit is not less tl an $:• nor more
than s.'») for the first offense, and on sec
ond offense the peddler may have to be
fumigated, wagon, horse, peddler and all
The Or east island fruit seems to be ab
solutely free from Insects or disease.

Alaska's Silent City has emerged once
more from its mysterious hiding place and
revealed its presence to five members of
the party which accompanied Prince
Luigi up Mount Sr. Elias.
In the early morning of July 13 the lit
tle party, while returning from the ocean
w ith supplies, suddenly saw the city mir
rored in the clear atmospher®. The vision
was so clear that C. W. Thornton, who
first noticed It, wrote in his note book:
"It required no effort of the imagination
to liken it to a city but was so distinct
and plain that It required. Instead, strong
fal'h to believe that it was not In reality
a city."
Whereas the Silent City of which Miner
Bruce wrote was seen from Muir glacier,
the one seen by Mr. Thornton and com
rades was noted from Malaspina glacier,
over lOu miles distant. It remained a per
fect imago for thirty minutes, and then
slowly faded away, while in its place
appeared a rocky ridge.
I'ite Men in the Party
Following is the story told in the words
of Mr. Tnornton. Mr. Thornton is well
known in Seattle -among business men.
He Is also one of the leading athletes or
the Y. M C. A.;
"July S five of us separated from the
main party for the purpose of going baca
to the :>eaeh for a sled load of provisions.
I should tha', we were avout forty
miles from the oc -an, and we allowed
three days fee the trip to the stores. Our
party was composed of Benno Alexander,
poet: Elin U-h. r<. ni~.hi watchman at
Providence hospital; Francis Fiorini, an
interpreter; William Steele, a sailor, and
myself.
"We were on the Seward glacier, about
six miles from Russell can-p. I presume
we gave the name to the camp, but mem
bers of the expedition will recall
the place t>y a ridge of steep rocks on
the west side about 300 feet high. The
location is made more noticeable, as it
is the only place for miles around where
you can pitch a tent without having a
snow floor.
"There is only one level place on the
ridge, and the edge- of that is close up to
the precipice, which has a perpendicular
wall of 300 feet. In order to anchor the
tent on the precipice side we had to
fasten rocks to the edge of the tent and
let them hang over the precipice. MaJ.
Ingraham took a great fancy to the place
and slept on the bluff side. Perhaps he
lay awake all night to be sure that hi' did
not roll over and bid his companions a
sudden adieu.
\iiild ibe *tupen«lon« in Nature.
"After leaving the main party near Rus
sell camp wv made the trip down to the
beach. stopping at Camp Independence
on the way down. On our way back,
while crossing the Malasplna glacier,
about ten miles from Camp Ingraham,
which is in Ingraham pass, we saw a
strange sight.
"It was at 3:15 o'clock in the morning,
and we were resting from a hard climt>
since about 10 o'clock the night befor<-.
We had chosen this time to make the
climb because it gave us hard snow. In
the daytime the hot sun would melt the
£tu>w as if you had poured (toiling water
on it.
"The atmosphere was as clear as it can
po«s[bly be. In fact, there was not ft
cloud in sight and not a breath of air
stirring. It was simply impossible to cal
culate distances. You would see a little
raise in the snow and think it was 100
yards away. When you tried to reach it
you might travel an hour or even two
before touching the goal.
"It was about time for sunrise, and I
was looking around at the mount tins in
their rugged grandeur, and the sky, with
Its limitless sea of light blue. Mount St.
Klias. Mount Neweomb, Mount Augusta
and M<>unt Cook, each more than WflflO
feet high, their hoary heads capped with
snow and their great sides seamed with
glaciers stood out clear and w»*ll defined,
like mighty sentinels to the path of
the most courageous adventurer.
"The Seward, the Marvin or Mr
win, the Newton, the Pinnacle
and A*cassiz glaciers. and many
others that have not been named, lay be
fore our enchanted eyes. It was one of
the grandest sights I saw during the en
tire trip: as grand as I expect to see dur
ing my life. It was i panorama so great,
so grand, so wonderful in Its massing, its
groupings and < oloring. that the languages
of all ages and all people eould not fur
nish figures of speech equal to an ade
quate description. A« one looked about
him be could not but feel h< w mightv are
the works of nature, and how insignificant
the mountain ciimbt r must apt*- ir stand
ing on the blanket of almost endless white.
Ibrtily Willi 111 Itniplr*.
"I looked to the north and was thunder
struck to behold a magnificent city, ap
pan ntJy r»-stin* on a ri J*'--. wha h Is .in
ext. nsi »n from the massive west side of
M unt St. Ellas. It whs in truth a magic
city, a silent city. Every detail of street
and buildings was plainly visible, but not
a of lire was to be seen. I called the
attention of mv comrades to the stranKC
und found that they saw everythinK
exactly as I ,-;;w it. If it was Imagination
on my part then there were four ot • r
imaginations that fell Into the same chan
nel as mine. This, however, is hardly pos
sible.
• At the right-hand side, as the city fac« d
u? w>r< what looked like two Chinese tem
pi's. N.-xt to them, and occupying the
center of the picture, was a large build
ins with massive columns and a huge
