Perhaps the reason why John
Sharp Williams and his friends are
so anxious that the Filipinos should
be given representation, is that
they would like to go out there and
hold office on the Mississippi plan
one voter to 2O2 inhabitants.
The explosion of a gasoline stove
in the house occupied by R. S.
Williams on Fourth street last Fri
day noon occasioned considerable
of a blaze and some damage in the
kitchen before the fire department
reached the scene and extinguished
the flames.
Much has been said recently in
the papers about John D. Rookie

there is no politics in the Com
pany's business.

Apples are fine this year and rea-
sonably cheap-as cheap as they
can expected to be sold taking
into consideration the fact that the
freight charge is large part of the
price asked. Apples in the state of
New York are said to be sold at 90
cents barrel. Packers have to pay
so cents this year for the barrel.
The packers and other middlemen
must have their share of value for
their work; the freight in carload
lots to this place from there is IS
cents barrel, consequently it may
be seen that good apples cannot be
sold here for less than $3.50 bar
rel in barrels. If carload lots are
shipped here LOOSEN bulk-the
so cents paid for the barrel may be
saved to the consumer. But ship
ping them so is risky. They are
liable to heat.
