state that the Dalles merchants are
doing them an injustice when they pur-

They assert further that they will
patronize no merchants who prefer to
buy their potatoes in Portland when
they can supply them and are not the
people who will not carry their boy
cott into effect. If such is the case the
farmers are not to blame, while on the
