The apple crop of Wenatchee is re- 

 ported approximately around 80 per 

 cent of last year. Last year, if we re- 

 member correctly, Wenatchee shipped 

 about 5,600 cars. The crop this year 

 is estimated variously from 4,000 to 

 5,000 carloads. It is also stated that 

 one-quarter of the Wenatchee apple 

 crop has already been contracted for 

 by cash buyers. The Wenatchee apple 

 crop is being marketed through various 

 organizations, among which may be 

 mentioned the Northwestern Fruit 

 Exchange, the North Pacific Fruit Dis- 

 tributors, Wenatchee Fruit Growers' 

 Association, E. Wagner & Sons, who 

 have contracted a large block for 

 Australian shipment; Wagner & Sons 

 of Chicago, who are extensive han- 

 dlers, and a number of other large fruit 

 dealers who are extensive operators in 

 the Wenatchee district. All fold there 

 are somewhere probably in the neigh- 

 borhood of fifteen to twenty handling 

 concerns operating in this district. 



The Southern Pacific Building at the 

 Panama Pacific International Exposi- 

 tion. This is 200 feet square, of Renais-
