Plenty ol Fruit SPOKANE, Wash Officers of the state horticultural association and commercial organizations in Wash ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana say in reports to the Spokane chamber of commerce there is every inuicauon that the fruit crop this year will be the largest and most profitable in the history of the four states. Private advices from Growers in the province of British Columbia are that the out- ook is good for apples and other fruits. There is not danger of a late freeze ut should the unexpected happen the owners of commercial tracts are ready to do battle with hundreds of thousands of smudge pots or orch ard heaters. It is predicted that high er prices will prevail as a result of the heavy damage o the fruit crop in the middle western states. F. A. Huntley, state horticultural commissioner, says that growers in Washington will produce twice as much fruit this season as in 1908 the year of the record crop. Including peaches, apricots, cherries, berries and other soft fruits the yield will be at least doubled owing to the increased acreage he adds, while the apple crop will show an increase of about 5 per cent. Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia will have equally large yields us the result ol increased ucreage and trees coming into bearing this season. With increased transportation fa cilities and the steady influx of settler) the early attempts in the valleys and uplands have become more pretentious sustained and systematic. Dry farm ing is practised extensively and irri gation plants have been established by private individuals and corpora tions, also by the United States gov ernment, which is spending enormous sums in reclaiming the volcanic wastes so wonderfully rich and fertile and so peculiarly adapted to raising fruits unblemished and perfect in size am color. More than 359,(M)0 acres ol lands are devoted to orchards in the four states and pomologists estimate that the value of a full crop would un doubtcdly equal $175,000,000. Northwestern apples are in demand in the eastern, middle western and southern states and in Europe and Australia and the markets nre being extended year by year. American and foreign experts, who have studied conditions in the northwest, refer to the Pacific Northwest as "the World'i Fruit Basket." adding there has been established in a comparitively short time a domain where the first foot of soil, properly cultivated, eventually will be worth more than all the mines from Alaska to Mexico and all the forests from the United States boun dary to the Artie sea. As gold was the strong magnet whic sent the first Americans across the un known wastes of this continent to the California coast in 1849, so today the apple, the emperor of fruit, attracting thousands to the western orchard belts. Millions of dollars have been invested in armle lam west of the Rockies in the last decade and beautiful orchards of yoittig tree today mark the spots where but yes tcrday was a waste of brown, sage brush covered desert. Romance never played Biich a part in the world as in the fruit growing districts of the Northwest today There is the romance of development of commerce and of life that liva the stories of centuries ago, when new empires were suddenly uncovered by people who had never dreamed their existence. Just as the mvsterv and danger faded from the Far West when once it was "discovered," so has that vast stretch of territory come into its own. Reports from nurseries and growers are that between 4,000,000 and 5,000, 000 one and two-year saplings will be planted in the four states and province before the close of 1910. This means that more than 50,000 acres of land will be added to the area already un der cultivation, thus giving a total of 400,000 acres in fruit in 0915. MR. RAFFLES MAKES CALLS Continued from page 1. entered the house. In a top drawer of the dresser was a purse containing a small sum of money and in a jewel case were pieces of jewelry of consid erable value. Looking these over he took the money, which amounted to about six dollars, and a ladies watch From there he proceeded into the other rooms of the second floor but did not find anything that suited his fancy. Returning to the front room he crawled out of the window but before leaving the premises he decided not to keep the watch and deposited on the window sill. He made his get away safely and it was some time before the burglary was noticed. When it was discovered that a prowler had paid the party a visit, excitement reigned supreme and the ladies present nearly had hysterics. A not call was Bent out for the police and in a few minutes Night Officer Trout arrived on the scene with hve deputies. here was little for them to do in try ing to locate the thief but each deputy was given the task of seeing that certain of the guests were safely es corted to their homes and the officers all report it was an awful job. Every home had to be entered by the officer in charge every light in each home turned on and every room carefully inspected by the officer before the frightened feminine oould be induced to go in. There was many a rusty old shot gun resurected and doors that had not been bolted for years were carefully locked and barred. It would have taken a Kansas cyclone a half lour to break into any of the resi dences in the north part of town after the report had been turned loose that a real live burglar was around. A night officer was stationed to watch any suspicious actions that might happen around a traveling com pany that was in the city but nothing startling was reported from the watch man on guard, and no brilliant clues developed from the Dovey residence. While all the excitement was going on in the Dovey neighborhood. Mr. Raffles was busy trying his luck at the Fred Gorder residence on North Third street. Miss Louise Gorder had retired at a late hour and had left a large lamp burning so that she could see to read book. Dropping off. to sleep she was sudenly awakened by a slight noise in the room and saw a man standing before her, bending over an opened drawer on the dresser. Rub bing her eyes to see ifvshc really was awake he noticed her action in the mirror of the dresser and turned to ook at her. In the brig! it light thrown full in his face by the lamp which was burning at her side, she recognized the man as one who had been at their place but a few weeks before. She was certain as to his iden tity and as he passed to go out of the room he went so close to the bed that she could have touched him with her outstretched hand. As he withdrew he covered his face with his arm but Miss Gorder cried out, "Oh. I know you all right, you're the man that was here nt our house the other day. He made no reply but stopped in the adjoining room for a. few seconds Hearing someone descend the stairs he raised the window, through whic he had entered and slipped out of the house, letting the window fall with a loud crash. The place was immediately examined but nothing was found to be missing and he could not have been in th house more than ten minutes, He had gained entrance through a low window of a sitting room nnd as the sash was raised, a stick which was used to prop the window with, was heard to drop on the floor by one of the oecu pants in the room above, but thinking nothing of it, she did not investigate until the voices and footsteps were heard a few minutes later. Foot prints of a rather small shoe, having a broad heel, were found in the soft ground near the window and they may serve as a slight clue to the authorities who arc now at work on the case. The description given by Miss Gor der seems to tally exactly with that given by the people who saw the man on Sixth street. He was a young man about five feet seven or eight, medium build, wearing a gray suit and a light gray hat. The police have several clues on the matter, but these are being kept to themselves until further developments appear. It is thought the work was that of an amateur and also of a loca man, for none of the jewelry was dis turbed at either place and sma amounts of money were carelessl overlooked by the visitor. The work at the last residence was done just as the clock was striking twelve and that seemed to bi the last apperaancc of the individual although the occu pants of a certain residence on North Sixth became very fussed at that hour and notified the authorities that they thought a prowler was around but upon the arrival of the of ficers their fears wcro found groundless.
