APPLE CROP 18
UNDER EMBARGO
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 10.—A
protest against the embargo on apple
shipments declared by railroads op
erating in this state was telegraphed
last night to the interstate commerce
commission by local fruit agencies.
Six thousand carloads of boxed ap
ples, worth ordinarily $4,200,000 are
held in storage in the northwest and
are threatened with entire destruc
tion because of the railroads refusal
to accept apple shipments, the com
plaint says. The railroads placed the
embargo on fruit shipments on the
ground the fruit could not be handled
because of the cold weather.
Jeff Devenney’s launch was practi
cally wrecked on the beach near
