CURRENT COMMENTS.

II. c. Plum, acquitted last week of
selling adultcrated favoring extracts,
although said to be impure by a state
official, is again canvassing the town
selling groceries and other goods to the
householders. 1t is said he expects an
other carload of goods soon and, strange
rs it may appear, some people here will
buy them instead of purchasing of the
home merchants. 1t is an injustice to
them. They pay rent, taxes, license and
contribute to the upbuilding OF the com
nunity in every way, while men like
Plum do absolutely nothing in that di-
rection. They are here to get all out OF
he town they can and to leave as lit
tie here as possible. And it is a mis-
taken notion that some people have
that they can buy goods cheaper of this
class of men than OF the home merchant;
they generally pay more. For instance,
the Yakima Tea company sells the Afri-
can Java coffee at % cent. by the sin.
Gle pound and at % cents in n-pound
lots. Plum gave prices to householder
recently of 81 and 81 cents for coffee
that is no better. In teas, he asked a
dollar for basket fired Japan No. . in
ten-pound lots, saying that the Yakima
Tea company sold it at $50 Its print
I'd price list quotes it at 81 for sim
gle pounds and at 30 cents for ten pounds
Cinnamon he sells at from 80 to 90
cents pound, which the tea company
quotes at 80, while Plum asks 80 cents
for black pepper that can be bought at
home for 40 For his flayoring extracts
he asks Sl.75 and SLIGO for pint bottles
OF vanilla and lemon that the Yakima
Tea company sells at Sl.25 and Sis,
while he gets 50 cents for cocoanut that
the home firm sells for %. Plum'S
prices given here were quoted by him
TO a gentleman at his home recently.
He did not purchase, but told The Her
aid of the quotations and they are
compared above with the printed price
list of the tea company. People can do
better by buying of the home merchants
and they should give the travelling ped
ider the go-by.
