Mr.. Jas. Tullock, of East Sound,
who is one of the most successful Or
chardists in the county, has already
shipped hundreds of boxes of fine ap-
plies this fall, and we congratulate him
upon the fact that he has been able to
realize good prices for them lotwith-
standing the low price of silver. 1t is
hardly probable that Mr. TullOck
agrees with that Whatcom Populist
who proposes to "repeal the law of
supply and demand"
