ELLIS WHITES CRISP LETTER Kansas Cltyan Addresses On of These Tart Missives to F.arh Vice rreatdent of Rlrer Congress. PEACHES TAKE JUMP UPWARD Will Make Advance of Fifteen Per Cent by Monday, Commis sion Men Predict. Peaches, which have been so plentiful and so cheap, are going up, and the commission men predict an advance of 16 per cent by next Monday. Peaches that sold for 75 cents a crate will bring $1, and others will advance according to their quality. The Arkansas crop is about exhausted and the California fruit Is in great demand, which accounts for the advance. Pears are plenti ful, and those expecting to can them may as well get them now, for the shipped pears will be no cheaper. The warm weather hae brought an advance In lemons, the best of which sell from 25 to 30 cents a dosen now. Grapefruit Is gone, but the late Valencia oranges are here and are fine and Juicy and seedless, and sell from 40 to 60 cents a doten retail. The first grapes of the season are in, the little white, seed less grapes from Arlsona, and they are nice. They are selling from 10 to IS cents a pound. Blueberries are In this week and sell from 30 to 25 cents a quart box. Red rasp berries are also coming in. The boxes are a little more than pints, but not nunrii J and they sell from IS to 20 cents each. uiiwrriM win not last more than a week longer, and will be little If anv ehesnee They sold Friday morning at and M a crate wholesale. California cantaloupes are gone ana the Arlsona melons are In market now. These retail at 10 eents .-h and will continue at that price for a week or so. Texas melons sell for S but are not so good. Watermelons hold up In price, selling from 28 to 30 cents eacn. Green corn Is coming In well now, and ears are mucn fuller and better. They sen ior 10 cents a dosen. Celery Is plenti ful and sells three bunches for . Cucumbers, which have been up in price so long, are expected to drop next week, when they will probably sell two for I cents. Potatoes are the most uncertain thing in market, being up one day and down the next. The local market Is dependent en tirely now upon the home crop, and this depends upon the convenience of the gardeners in getting It to4o-vn. A short- age sends up the price and good weather whn the roads are good, brings It down again. Creamery butters are selling for and 38 cents a pound and eggs for 3 and Z rents a dosen. Oeorg C. Call of Ploux City, secretary of the Missouri River Navigation con gress, may be aked for his resignation by the executive round", as a result of having a meeting called for Sioux City this week without authority from the president: for refusing to honor orders drawn on the secretary-treasurer in ac cordance with the constitution of the congress, and for statements "calculated to disrupt the organisation." The charges against Mr. Call are ttmiIo In a letter written by President Edgar C. Ellis of Kansas City to Mr. Call, copies of which have been sent to all the vice presi dents. Congressman Bills docs net beat around the bush any In charging the secretary treasurer at Sioux City with conduct which has the apprarrnce of a plan '.o break up the organlxotlon Just at a time when It I getting In shape to do effective work for the Missouri river. Congress man Ellis also charges the secretary treasurer with being an Ingrate. as It was upon Mr Ellis' motion that Mr. Call was made secretary-treasurer of the organi sation. Mr. Ellis went o Bismarck to attend a meeting In the Interests of the river and has had two small Jobs of printing done. Though Mr. Call has all the money col lected for the work of the congress, he has failed to pay Mr. Ellis the expense money for the trip to Bismarck and also the printing biils, though the constitution provides that the money iall be paid on order of the president. Trying to Dlsrnpt. The congressman from Kansas City says the Sioux Cltyan Is attempting to create feeling against Kansas City and the lewer river section and will disrupt the congress by his misrepresentations about tho atti tude of the president and the work being done on the river below Kanras City. Mr. Ellis calls attention to the fact that the Sioux City secretary questions the motives of such men as Lawrence M. Jones and himself In their work for the river. The vice presidents are, It Is understood, standing firmly with Congressman Ellis, who has been a hard worker for the river for a number of years, while the secre tary at Sioux City made his bow In the river work when he accompanied A. F. Besll and others from Sioux City to the river banquet given by the Omaha Com mercial club lest winter. But those who are Interested In the river are determined that the controversy be tween the president and secretary of the organization shall not hinder the work. Report of Cnptnln Sehnla. The report of Captain E. H. Schulz, engi neer In charge of the river. Is Just out. It Is declared to be the best in twenty years. The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908. It shows that the commerce has largely Increased, that there are fewer snags and that the prospects for a continu ous Increase of business are encouraging. In line with his special report of April 30 Captain 8c hull asks for 1,000.0X to begin the work of Improvement and carry It on until June, 1910, and t0,000 for the repair and extension . of existing works. .Under the project he recommends for a twelve-, foot ohannel, he aaka for a yearly appro priation thereafter of $4,000,000 for work from Kansas City to the mouth. If It shall be deemed advisable to carry the work from Kansas City to Sioux City he asks for t4.BO0.000 for that reach. Under the tem porary six-foot projeot he asks 11,133,000 yearly for work between Kansas City and the mouth and 11,300,000 for work between Kansas City and Sioux City. For the Lower River. The estimated cost of the twelve-foot channel from Kansas City to the mouth is t30.000.000, and a temporary six-foot channel $3,800,000. For snagging, $60,000 a year Is asked and for maintaining the six-foot channel $87,500, or the twelve-foot channel $500,000. For a twelve-foot channel from Kansas City to Sioux City Captain Schuli asks $21,800,000, or for a six-foot channel $3,900,000. For snagging $50,000 will be required an nually. For maintaining a six-foot channel $97,600, and a twelve-foot channel $562,500. For that part of the river above Sioux City Captain Schuls asks $350,000 a year for maintenance and Improvement. Hopefal Report on Commerce. The showing of Increased commerce on the river will be gratifying. For the year a total of 843,863 tons of freight of all kinds was carried on the lower river, of which 28,847 tons was general merchandise and the balance ooal, sand, lumber, railroad tie and building materials. The number of passengers carried was 2,532. This Is the best showing that the river has made for twenty years. The increase on the upper river was from 43.987 tons In the fiscal year 1906 to 45,123 tons In 1907. The two boats of the Kansas City line from the. beginning of the season, May, 12 to June 30. carried $.170 tons, averaging about 400 tons a a round trip.

The National Corn Kxposltlon has re ceived from London a moving picture camera end C. W. Martin is to visit the model farms of Illinois and Iowa, making the films for the picture machine which will be shown at the corn show In De cember. It was Mr. Martin who conceived the idea that the moving picture machine ought to be used for a more worthy purpose than reproducing a prize fight by rounds, showing children how daring firemen res cue people from burning buildings, throwing on a white sheet, a Mexican bull fight or the dr.ncers of r. sinful ballet show. lUllvrankee Ready to Honst.

Rosewater. chair man of the publicity committee of the Na tional Corn Exposition, to see what was expected of the Milwaukee road In the way of promotion for the corn exposition. "While we have made no definite plans as to what the Milwaukee will do in the way of promotion for the show, I can state positively that the road will do all possible to get corn producers all people Interested in corn along our line to come to the Omaha show.
