Miss Francis Townsend, represent- Manager Frank McKeon of the Bussell cannery and several representatives of the company from Seattle have been making a tour of the fruit district round about and have concluded that the only fruit which will be in good supply is pears. The company does expect to can a peach this year, whereas last year it bought thirty tons in a single week from one man.

There will be a fair supply of peaches, judging from what he has seen, says Mr. McKeon, but they will be much too valuable and too few for the canneries to have a chance at them. In spite of the shortage of peaches, the Bussell cannery, expects to run a full season. It will begin with the berries, and with pears in full crop, apples, plums, tomatoes, potatoes and pumpkins, will have material for a busy summer. Potatoes which were canned here last year on an order from the government for use in outlying army posts, and were in the nature of an experiment, proved a success and the cannery will devote considerable time to tinning the spuds this season.

WHEAT'S JUDGEMENT DAY. Can Patten, With His Corner, Pass Settlement What Will Happen if the Great Bull Wins and Also if the Bears Whip Him-Begins to Look as if He Will Succeed Where Nobody Else Has--Great Losses and Maybe Failures, Whichever Side Is Victor. There in the middle of the Pit, surrounded and assaulted by herd after herd of wolves, yelping for his destruction, he stood, braced, rigid, his head up, his bony hand, that had once held the whole Pit in its grip, flung high in air, while his voice, like the clangor of bugles sounding to the charge of the forlorn hope, rang out again and again over the din of his enemies: "Give a dollar for July--give a dollar for July." Then the avalanche, the undiked ocean of wheat, leaping to the lash of the hurricane, struck him fairly in the face. He heard it now, he heard nothing else. The Wheat had broken from his control.

For months he had, by the might of his single arm, held it back; now it rose like the upbuilding of a colossal billow. It towered, towered, hung poised for an instant, and then, with a thunder as of the grind and crash of chaotic worlds, broke upon him, burst through the Pit and raced past him, on and on. And then something snapped in his brain. Blind and insensate, he strove against the torrent of the Wheat. One function only remained active, and that vibrated with terrible rapidity, its rhythm beating old and terrible cadence: "Wheat-wheat wheat.

-Frank Norris in "The Pit." CHICAGO, May 1 the above happen to the great bull, Jas. A. Pat- ten? May 31 will tell the tale. That is settlement day. On June 1 all the world will know whether or not Patten has won.

Never in the history of the wheat pit has any man passed settlement day a winner. Many have tried. But wheat has beaten them. The history of wheat corners is a story of ruin and dishonor and suicide and financial wreckage and broken men. Will Patten win? Some people are beginning to think he will.

What Will Happen. Let us see, in plain United States language, just what will happen on May 31. Whether he wins or loses that day will go down in history as one of the most stormy in the story of wheat speculation. Let's remember first that a short, or a bull, in this story, is a man who has contracted to deliver wheat to Patten on May 31. The price ranges up to $1.29, or whatever may be the highest option price reached by that time.

The short, in making his contract, believed that he would be able to buy wheat at a lower price before May 31, and make a profit on his contract. The bull, or long, is the man, like Patten, and those who believe in him, and have followed his lead, who has contracted to pay for wheat at prices ranging up to the highest option price. Wheat Pit Price. The option price, we said. That is the wheat pit price.

There is a cash wheat price, too. That is the price you'd have to pay in open market for the actual wheat. It's been about 20 cents higher than the option price SO far. If it were lower the shorts could buy what they wanted and fill their orders with Patten at a profit--or else Patten would go broke trying to pay. What will happen then on May 31 in the Chicago wheat pit? IF PATTEN WINSThe shorts, trying desperately to beat down the price, will have failed.

Patten has said all along that this is a short year for wheat. His prediction will have made good. The shorts. if they have to buy wheat at anything like the present cash price, will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars, in the aggregate. Must Deliver Goods.

They will ransack the world for wheat, but they will have failed. In a last desperate endeavor, as they face ruin on May 31, they will try to buy and fill the order they have contracted to deliver to Patten. But they can't buy the wheat. It is not to be had. Each man who fights for wheat will stimulate the demand, and the price will soar, higher and higher.

The only price at which they can buy the precious kernels is beyond the frenzied shorts. Then the secretary of the board of trade, black coated, the only unmoved figure in that maniacal whirlpool of humanity, will rap for order. "All trades with the firm of Blank, Dash Co. must be closed at once," he will announce. And the wheat pit will know that a great brokerage house has gone to the wall.

Will Name the Price. There will be a consultation in Patten's office. White faced and ruined men will bargain with their victorious master. He will name the price at which he will allow them to settle. In other palatial offices, men immaculately dressed may fight their battle out with a loaded pistol in the top drawer, and the knowledge that the police will come before night unless- BUT IF PATTEN LOSESThen the mountains of wheat garnered around the world and rushed to a thousand Chicago granaries, by armies of men in overalls toiling night and day like fire fighters, will have been enough and more than enough to crush the man who would dare try to control the world's food.

On the Other Hand. With Patten fighting a losing battle the price will be beaten down and down. He has contracted to pay, $1.29. In the open market the shorts can buy for $1.25, for $1.20, for $1. And Patten will have to pay.

To realize ready money he will have to throw some of the wheat he has already bought back into the pit. He will get the money, but that wheat will have pushed down the price another notch. A minute later that wheat will rise up to help smash him. For weeks he has been quietly selling, cautiously, so as not to interfere with the upward march of prices, realizing money for the supreme struggle. He has shipped his wheat all over the world -anything to get it way from Chicago, so that it can't come back be used by his enemies.

What "Corner" Menas. But it isn't enough if the bears win. The shorts can buy all the wheat they want and deliver it to Patten at the price he set. And he will have to pay. OrAnother broken corner will have gone down in history.

And Jas. A. Patten will join the ranks of Leiter and Gates and Old Hutch and the rest who defied the lightning. They are beginning to think Patten will win. He said from the outset that there would be a wheat shortage this year.

His info: mation seems to have been right. In Leiter's corner in 1898, cast wheat could be had for $1.40, while the wheat pit price was $1.85. But in 1909 cash wheat is soaring 20 cents higher than the wheat pit price. The shorts, Patten's enemies. can't get the wheat unless something breaks.

May 31 will tell the tale. County Correspondence ALFALFA. Mr. Johnson, of Seattle, is registered at the Alfalfa hotel. Miss A.

Nutt in Conference with Councilman Miller Promises to Take Up Chestnut Street Matter.

As the result of a conference with H. C. Nutt, freight superintendent of the Northern Pacific, with headquarters in Portland, held in this city Thursday night by Councilman J. J. Miller, the long-cherished dream of a subway at the Chestnut street crossing may become a reality.

City Engineer Doolittle will be instructed draw the plans and specifications of the proposed subway, and an estimate of the costs and send the same to the Northern Pacific at Portland. He promised to give the matter his immediate attention. Oppose Grade Crossing. The city council for the past two years has been dealing with the question of a crossing at Chestnut street in order to relieve the congested conditions in traffic existing at Yakima avenue. Some time ago a resolution was passed by the city council, recommending the instituting of condemnation proceedings to secure a crossing.

A grade crossing was opposed by the railroad on the ground that it would give two dangerous crossings instead of one and declared themselves in favor of a subway. Chestnut Subway Needed. The building of the Chestnut street subway will give an outlet for the traffic which is now centered on Yakima avenue. It will also furnish a desirable crossing for the farmers and warehouses of the west side, and the business over the road, in time, will be as heavy as that now sent over the Yakima avenue crossing. The building of the Chestnut street subway will eliminate the probability of any action being taken with the Maple street crossing for the time being.

A reply is expected from the Northern Pacific officials approving of the plans submitted by City Engineer Doolittle in about six weeks.
