Mr.. j. H. Lambert is one of the most ex-
tensive fruit growers in Oregon, and is
widely known tor his staunch and rcia-
Bile business qualities. Mr.. Laubach re-
sided on Puget Sound several years, pre-
vious to going into business in Portland,
and he was known here as a young man
of sterling, thorough-going business ca
pabilities. He has energy, thrift and ex-
cellent judgment, which means live busi-
ness management in everything that he
undertakes. Being perfectly reliable, he
is person with whom our merchants and
business men can deal with security. The
above-named firm have a decided advan-
tage over all other dealers in their line OF
business in Portland, as they pack their
own fruit and know just what they are
sending out. They are dcsirOus OF ex-
tending the fruit branch of their business
to Puget Sound, and we see no eason why
they should not build up trade with cur
local dealears that would be profitable to
all concerned. Send your orders to them.

way around to Port Discovery whittier she
was going. After being brought back. it

some feight. and started for the Cape
