Agents for outside grocery firms
are now delivering goods in the north
part of Umatilla county. Yesterday
and for several days this week, these
agents have been delivering rice, oat-
meal, extracts of different kinds and
other light lines OF groceries In the
vicinity of Freewater, and had SEEM
ingly worked over the territory very
thoroughly.
Local merchants are entitled to the
trade of the people of the county,
and IL the people would only compare
prices and see that they are paying
from 10 to Is per cent more to the
outside firms than they would pay ut
home, this peddling grocery business
would soon be stopped for want of
patronage.
Much of the stuff brought into the
county by outside firms is adulterated
and last year in La Grande about a
ton of pepper, spices. mustard, ex-
tracts. vinegar and other adulterated
stuff was seized by the state food in
spectors and II this trade continues in
Umatilla county the authorities will
be asked to make an investigation Of
the quality of the goods being de-
livered in this county.
All the western states are now
placing high license on these migra-
tory peddlers who carry money out Of
the county, but who help pay none Of
the bills as do the local merchants.
Large quantities OF outside grocer
les have recently been introduced into
eastern Washington counties and the
people Of that section are making a
combined effort to check the trade
The outside groceries are sold at from
20 to 80 per cent higher than local
merchants sell them. but because of
florid promises to build up a regular
trade and furnish goods at ridiculously
low prices in the future, many people
gave the peddlers orders for large
quantities of stuff which they are now
paying dearly for.
The home merchants are located
permanently in the country and are
always to be found here to back up
their goods. They help pay taxes,
help build roads. and maintain
the schools and every argument is in
favor of patronizing the home mer-
chant as against these migratory ped
dlers.

Our aim has been to improve Oul
brands of phosphates along this line
aud their popularity to-day is excelled
by none.
Our trade has grown from a few
tons of output in 1882, to the present Of
several thousand tons output each year
showing to the people that they get
what they bought. This, therefore, is
the reason our trade has increased each
year since we commenced the manu-
facture Of phosphate.
We have the very latest improved
machinery, and can put the materials
used in manufacture into unifOrln con-
diticH, so that it will give the best re-
suits.
Before placing your order for your
phosphate this spring, it will be well
to write, or call upon us in person, for
prices.
We keep constantly on hand all the
high grades of phosphate materials,
and our prices are low, when you take
into consideration the quality of the
goods.
For wheat, corn and grass, use
"Jumbo" phosphate, which has stood
the test for % years, and given the
farmers value received.
For cantelOupes, watermelOns, cab
bage, beans, etc., use eur "High-GTade
Truck Phosphate" which is particu-
