VOL. XXL MARKET FRUIT IS ON DISi m - * State Commissioner Huntley Brings to the City Apples Which Are a Fright HE GOT THEM IN SEATTLE FROM A YAKIMA SHIPMENT _______ Display la at the Rooms of the Commercial Club end Growers . Are Asked to Call There and Inspect It There is a box of fruit at th- rooms W the Commercial club which every trait grower In the Yakima valley should make It a point to see. They are apples picked up at Seattle by State "Commissioner of Horticulture Huntley and are specimens from a carload ahlpped from the Yakima val ley. Some of the fruit waa grown and packed at North Yakima. Each spec imen la wrapped in a aheet of paper on which is written the name of the grower on whose premises it waa pro duced. Without exception it la the worst bumch of fruit that any com munity ahould dare to call "commer cial.'* Worms have made a parade grround of some of the apples and have neglected none of them. Every apple has a blemish of some sort or other and in some cases the representation la co numerous from certain orchards that the "chance" or "accident" ex cuse la eliminated. Who ahlpped the fruit Is Mr. Hunt ley's secret for the present and ha may or may not reveal it. The prob lem, however, will not be a hard one to solve, for as stated, every apple is marked, and tracing Its course should be easy. Mr. Huntley turned the fruit over to Dr. James, secretary of the Commercial club, to be placed on dis play as an object lesson of some of the things Yakima must needs overcome before sto can hope to have the repu tation, far select fruit, enjoyed by oth er producing sections so frequently held up to this community as a stand ard of excellence. Dr. James asked the Herald to In vite all fruit growers to make it a point to call at the rooms of the Com mercial club and Inspect the apples It la the hope of Mr. Huntley and ethers that the apples when examin ed will bring about a change In condi tions such as will prevent such stuff hereafter reaching the market.

The agreement was read by Albert H. Veeder, attorney for Swift & Co., who was called by the government as the first witness. Veeder testified that In March, 1903, the National Packing rompany was organised to operate certain Independent plants purchased with a view to including them within the big company. Veeder, who occupied the stand throughout the day, and who will con tinue his testimony tomorrow, admit ted the packers had- an organisation which met weekly In his office during 1900, 1901 and 1103. Son Not a Good Wltnea* His eon, Henry Veeder, secretary of the association, and a witness, said he did not know what business was transacted at the meetings.

He had not known the letters used to desig nate the others. Previous to calling Veeder to the stand, the defense made unsuccessful efforts to have concluded the transac- tions prior to 1905 on the grounds of the Immunity plea which freed the packers seven years ago, should apply to the previous period. Judge Carpenter reserved his decis ion to give the government time to re ply but indcated he might deny the motion.

These he. grazed on the reservation. During this year he has owned several large bands of sheep but has now disposed of the entire number. He will buy again next year. "Mr. Olney is now occupied In rais ing hogs. About 20 miles southwest of Wapato, south of White Swan, he has four sections of land. This im mense territory he is fencing at the present time with Page fence of the best quality. 'To cover the distance it requires eight miles of fencing. In this enclosure Mr. Olney has at the present time about 700 head of hogs of a marketable breed. He has erect ed a neat residence for the caretaker of the herd and his assistants and a hoghouse, with every modern equip ment and designed to meet the de mands of a large herd at a coat of ison. The land embraced in Mr. Olney's stock cortal is all allotted to members of his fswiilly, »o that he will retain il indefinitely and can make Improve ments aat the demands require. He has already expended about Msuo in necessary buildings on the place, and thi* »urn will be greatly Increased by the coki of the rencing and other con templated improvements."

The land has not yet been restored to entry by the government and so far as officials here know there Is no particular reason for the line-up at this time. There are some two or three thousand acres of land to be restored and there Is an assumption that It will come back to the public the coming spring. There is also a belief that Its restoration will come automatically with the announce ment that water is ready for deltvery to land holders under the Tleton ditch. If there ts nothing more to the situation than appears at present the line-up wil continue for another three months. There Is No Knowledge H. Y. Saint and Captain Stetnman of the land office, Engineer Swlgert and Chief Clerk Gnlllekson of the reclamation service.

Those in the line last night spoke enthusistlcally of the manner In which Alex Miller, proprietor of the building, had acted to Insure their comfort, and they pledged themselves to act in every way within their pow er to make their long stay In the building as little as -possible of an inconvenience to Mr. Miller, 't'lii- l (in- Is Growing •ly 10 o'clock last night there were 27 people in line, most of whom were wide awake and In cheerful spirits over the prospects. No one expressed a desire to rid himself or herself of any inside information as to the rea son for being lined up, but confidence was everywhere shown. The hallway looks like .t rooming hou«e during the time of a rush, with facilities inadequate to accommodate all with rooms.

(Signed- THE UNE-UP. BURGLARIZED CHRISTMAS EVE Old Baptist Church Entered, Win dow Lights Broken, Plaster ing Torn Down DETECTIVE PLACED ON TRAIL OF CRIMINALS Depredation Committed Through Pure and Unadulterated Cuss ednesa Arouses Ire of George Beekman, Man of Even Temper There sre criminals of high and low degree, perpetrating their acts of law lessness at all seasons of the year. The first medal for depravity and moral turpitude should be given to the burglars who broke Into the old Bap tist church, the first building north of the New Masonic, temple at the corn er of East Yakima avenue and Fourth street. The building was burglarised some time between Sunday afternoon and Tuesday morning, presumably Sunday night. The old building is the home of the V St I Fraternity, a Becret society of boys, with about 25 members, George Beekman being the organizer and in charge, looking after the welfare of the boys, aome of whom are almost men. This society Is a part of tho helpful work being carried forward by tho First Baptist church. As a means of recreation and exer cise the old building haa been fitted up as a gymnasium, the former audi torium being utilised as a place to play basketball and other games, while two rear rooms have been fitted up as a dressing-room and lounging room. Two gangs of boisterous boys were seen on the streets late Sunday night, which gives rise to the supposition that the crime was committed Christ mas eve. Entrance was effected through a back window. In order to get In It waa necessary to break the large panes of glass out of the top sash, after which It became possibio to get at the lock and unfasten *t. Having gotten Into tho first room, th« burglara encountered other toeuWj*. The door communicating between the outer and Inner rooms was loeka Two panels were broken out of tit door, the heels of the shoes of the perpetrators being used as sledge hummers. Judging from the size Dt the heel prints and the force that was used, the burglars were possessed of considerable strength. Plastering Torn Down There was nothing of particular value lying around that the Intruders could steal, so they devoted their time and talents to a. work of despoliation. Plastering was torn from the walla nnd ceilings of different rooms and the floors littered up wtth debris. Mr. Beekmau discovered Tuesday what had been done, and of course was not In pl.-a.Nanl humor over It. He thought that It would not have been so low god reprehensible had they stolen something of value that they could have used or that would have benefitted them In any way, but tn commit the depredation apparently through pure and unadulterated cuss edness, was sufficient to arouse the Ire of that even tempered gentlemen. He at once laid the matter before Mayor A. J. Splawn, with all the particulars In his possession. A detective was put to work, and hopos are entertained that the culprits will be landed, and eventually placed In a penal or re formatory Institution where the dogs will not bite them.
