Toilet Articles g. Pocket Books
There is no institution east of
Denver that carries the stock of toi-
let articles that we do. 1t is often
a wonder to visitors from larger
cities how we can carry the stock of
toilet articles that we do IN such
small town. 1t is just simply this:
If the country merchant would carry
the stock and offer his goods at the
right prices, the people would not
send so much money to the catalogue
houses in the cities. 1t pays to car
ry the stock.

CONTRACT FOR
. !. 10000 BOXES

The board ofdlreckrs of the Hood
River Apple Growers union have Sc
cured contracts for 40, 600 boxes ofapples
| for shipment through the union.
| The members Of tbs beard made o
house TO house canvass last week, and
on their return, MIR. Mason informed
the Glacier that everywhere there are
prospects Of very fine crop this fall.
The members Of the union are all
strongly supporting the Organization,
and showed their faith in the same by
signing up the contract to ship their
apples through the union.
These 10000 boxes represent over
half the apple cropof the valley. W.
A. |. Mason, president OF the Apple
Growers union, in answer 10 an inquiry
from the secretary Of the international
Apple Packers association, concerning
the apple prospects in Oregon and Hood
River, replied that ID bis opinion the
apple crop Of Hood River would amount
to rs, 900 boxes, and that from what he
could gather from information furnished
the union, the crop Of the state wonId
amount TO possibly 4O0, 900 boxes. 4 fEf &
The crop in Hood River he remarked
would be up to its usual standard Of
excellence. Spraying has been we'll
carried on, and Mr.. Macon says very
few Wormy apples are noticeable in the
orchards. The directors, Mr.. Mason,
Chris Dethman, and @. r. Castner made
o personal investigation Of the orchards
AZ they drove about the valley, and
assisted IN making estimates ef The
crop.
Mr.. Mason says that from what he
can gather the apple crop OF the United
States will be full one in New Eng
land, New York and in the Virginias,
but IN Missouri and Arkansas, the fruit
did not get well and the crop will be
very light. Other parts of the Middle
West are also affected in the same man
ner, and in his opinion the crop OF the
country will not be so large as was at
first reported, and he believes than
prices should be very good.
n. L. Smith, president OF the state
board Of horticulture, informed the
Glacier that the report that the apple
crop in the United States will be large
one is misleading. From what the state
board OF horticulture 10 able to learn
the crop throughout the couptry will be
only 80 per cent Of a full crop. In many
places cold weather and heavy rain
interfered with the perfect polIenization
Of the frnit, and the apples did not set

Dutch came out on horseback oyer the

was ever used directly against ships.
Several othsr colnbats were fought bo
