tion is away looking up markets in
the Sound and Coast cities When
leaving he informed us that berries
will be bought for cash on the
platform if the growers desire to
sell at small margin below tire
market price. 1t is plannei to hire
an examiner who will be an exper-
fenced berry man, and whe will vis-
it the different patches aud give in
structions and show how to pack
and prepare the berries for ship
ment. An important aim will be
to secure uniform pack of all ber-
ries handled bv the Association.
About 90 per cent of the berries
raised in the valley will be handled
by the Association. The outlook
for good prices is excellent at this
time.

GOLD IN COLUMBlA'S SANDS.

John Prentice has been prospect

the past few months and has struck
a place in the sand at a point nine
miles up the river from Kennewick
where consider able gold is mingled
with the sand. After careful test

will pay. He has moved bis outfit,
consisting of gasoline engine,
sluice boxes and pipes, to his camp
and will commence operations at
once. The Cinnamon worked all
along the river years ago wi h sue
cess, and ten years ago there was a
rush to take UP claims on the sand
bars and islands by white miners,
and at point opposite the Prem

taken out. The trouble has been
that the gold is in very thin flakes
and great difficulty is experienced
in separating it from the sand. Mr..
