STRAWBERRY SEASON
IS ALMOST over
Supply Of Cherries is Declining With
Prices Ruling Stronger-..Mr Foy
Urges Upon Farmers the Me-
cessity Of a Good Pack

The strawberry season Is almost
over in Wenatchee. They are still
quoted at $2.0O per crate but the sup
ply is almost exhausted. A few of
very good quality are coming in from
the hills but they will last but few
days longer. The raspberry season Is
at it's height in the valley and prices
are showing a strong delcline. Black
caps which sold during the earlier
part of the week for s4.00 per crate
are now quoted at $2.25 The falling
off of the price is due to the local sup
ply for such markets as Spokane and
Seattle being almost equal to the de-
mand.
More raspberries are being shipped
from Wenatchee than ever before. 1t
is estimated that the acreage of this
crop has increased so per cent in the
last year.
The supply of cherries of all varie
ties is on the decline with prices rul
ing apprecisblv stronger. In explain
ing the wide difference in prices quot
ed on Royal Ann Uheries, which are
quoted at from so to 80 cts, Mr.. Foy
managing salesman Of the association.
states that the difference is not due to
the difference in quality of the fruit
but to the difference in packing. 9th
ell localities are securing much bet
ter price for cherries than Is Wenat-
cheee for the sole reason that they
are packing them in better shape. Mr.
Foy recently received some samples of
cherries packed at Lewiston and which
ale selling in St. Faal for $500.
These cherries are of no better quail
ity than the WeDatchee product, which
because Of inferior packing Is finding
slow market at Sl.C0.
Mr.. Foy is every day urging the
fruit groGers the necessity of good
packing. Re states that this is one OF
the most important features Of fruit
growing: one which adds bit little
more work and time and yet means dol
lars and cents TO tine rancher.

NOTHING BUT lSTHMUS
IN WAY OF THE CANAL
Senate Has Passed Bill Providing
for Lock Canal at Panama
...Work Will Begin This
Summer

Washington, June % Cut loose
now and build the canal. The Ameri-
can people want results on the 18th.
mus as soon as they can be obtained,
and want them. Dig. dig. Congress
and the people are behind us in oar
efforts.
Within 4S hours after the compile
tion of the Panama caLal legislation
President Roosevelt will issue. in
effect, the above order to Chairman
Shonts and Chief Eng ineer Stevens.
The president expressed great graft
ficati)n at the action of the senate in
supporting his plan for lock canal
He has been convinced for several
days that the lock type would be
adopted. A careful canvass CT the
senate had been made, aid he was as
sured that there would be safe ma.
jority in favor of the lock type, which
he has advocated since the report of
the engineers commission was Ieceiv-
ed. 1t was pointed out at the White
House that practically the same senat
ors who voted against the lock canal
protect also would be opposed to the
Panama treaty. and SO recorded their
votes.
The president regards the vote of
congress on the lock type of canal as
a vote of confidence. Orders will be
issued in few days {" push the work
as rapidly as possible, and it is an
nounced that before the summer is far
along many men wall he profitably en-
ployed in making earth fly.

THE B4KER,S DOZEN.
Hoe the Extra Tale of Numbers
arose.
4rOSe.

Some persons, including a few encyclopedias
are inclined to think that the bakers dozen
originated when heavy fines were considered
necessary to counterbalance light weights and
the bakers, in order to insure fun weight took
the precaution 20 add an additional unit. Some
lave called it the devils dozen. because thirteen
was the number Of witches who used to ride
their broomsticks to the Black Mass" OF satan.
The bakers great book in the Astor Library has
another story Of its origin:
Jan Petersen. Of Amsterdam. was a good
chUrchman but nevertheless he was afraid Of
being bewitched. On the last night OF 1904 he
sat in his bakeshop trying to keep out the ev11
spirits by printing himself with a glass Of good
spirits. Sales had been brisk There were no
customers in the shop for the moment and he
sat back, meditating on the gains he would mako
On the morrow. when the fresh New Years axes
were put on sale He was startled by a sudden
rap. An ugly woman pushed the door open.
Give me a dozen New Years cookies" sha
cried in a shriu voice
The shrLness OF her voice did not mean any
thing to his slow Dutch mind It only annoyed
him
We'll, then. you needn't speak so loud" said
Jan. I'm not deaf"
a dozeng she screamed Give me a dozen
Here are only twelve"
Wen, then, twelve is q dozen
"One more! 7 want a dozen"
We'll, then, if you want another 60 to the
devil and get it,"
The bag LETT the shop. but from that night
Jan had trouble The shop seemed to be be-
witched. His cakes were stolen. Either his
bread was so light that it scared up the Chin
rey or so heavy that the supports Of the oven
save way beneath the burden His wife becarns
deaf; his children went wild. His trade took
wings and sJtled in the shops OF his rivals
Three times the old woman returned, and each
tme was directed to the DEVILS sanctum AT
last in despair the baker called upon Saint
Nicholas TO assist him. The venerable patron OF
Dutch feasts delivered lecture on charity. tell
ing the trembling man to be more generous IN
the future. Then he vanished and in his place
stood the bag, who repeated her demand for
one more cake. Jan acCeded whereupou she
exclaimed, The spell is broken: from this time
one dozen is thirteen" Taking from the counter
a gingerbread efigy Of Saint Nicholas, she made
the sUbdued Dutchman lay his hand upon it and
swear to give more liberal measure in the fut-
ure. Since that time thirteen has been called q

1896 were certain Of victory in throwing the
