An Instance of Growth

1t is ii pleasure in this day of great
industrial combinations, to note an in
stance where an independent concern
has attained to mammoth proportions,
and has grown steadily but surely for
years from a small beginning into the
fullness of the present time. Such an
institution is cited in the seed business
of ID. Nj. Ferry & Co., who for nearly
half a century have gone forward each
year, constantly adding new customers
and retaining all its old ones, until it
is today the source of seed supply from
which the great crops of this country
spring. Seed houses have come and
gone-some survived and fourished for
one reason or another-while Ferry's
kept growing all the time. Thousands
of farmers. gardeners and flower grow
ers look to them year after year for the
seeds from which the prosperity of their
fields and gardens is to grow. and the
fact that they are never disappointed

Passed Forged Checks

Jack Walters, formerly of rhis place

in Seattle last Saturday ni5'.t by

passing forged checks. He is also want
Ell in Portland, Seattle, and Whatcom,
and now the officials of the different
places are after him with red hot sticks
With him is his wife, with whom he
formerly had trouble in this county
Their scheme is one that is hard to
detect. L he man makes the worthless
checks. and the woman goes out shop
ping on Saturday night with a number
of the papers in her purse. She makes
a small purchase and tenders the check
in payment. The check is usually for
$l2 or $l4, which makes il easy for her
to say that it is the weeks wages of her
husband. If she succeeds in passing the
check, it is impossible for the merchant
to ascertain that the paper is worthless
until Monday and she has plenty of time
to escape.
They worked their scheme only a
short time ago on merchants in Ellens-
burg. They came to this place, but did
not carry out their worthless check
plans. Walters is son of John w.

memorial services for departed members
of the lodge. The local organization has
sustained the loss of three of its mem
bers since its institution, namely, John
Kangley, N. S. johnson and John Reed.
The lodge room was beautifully and
tastefully decorated, and a profusion of
flowers harmonized in pleasing effect.
Judge Graves address was a beauti-
full and touching tribute to the memory
of the departed brothers, and was high
ly appreciated by the large crowd in
attendance.
