In England one publishing house

one can ask himself how many have
presented characters that beca,ise of
their personality stick in the mind and

Winchester merchants and Sears,
Roebuck & Co., are very likely to
have a new customer from Quincy.
Johnny Sankey is the probable GUS
toner. Johnny was hired on Thurs
day by J. T. Wightman to unload a
car of wood. AS Quincy is newly in
corporated there is a license of $40
fork over before the privilege of
doing dray work for others is indul-
ged in. Johnny evidently forgot this,
so while he piled the wood high on
his wagon and thought of the bright
silver dollars which would eventual
ly fall his way, life seemed very
bright, indeed. But one of the Ii
censed draymen. who had paid out
some good coin in return for the
privilege of doing the work Johnny
was at, did not look at it as pleasant
ly as Johnny did. so he fastened onto
the mayor and the two went over
and had a communion with the new
drayman. Apparently the communion
was not a love feast, by any means,
as Johnny quit the dray business and
is going to quit the merchants and
do his trading in Winchester or
some other big place.-Quincy Ga
zette.

DON'T OPPOSE ANNEXATION.

Various suburbs have been annex
ed to the city within the past year
or two.
Other Adjacent Districts are cast
ing sleeps eyes at Wenatchee, as if
they should also like to come into
the fold. In most cases the majority
of the residents in these different
suburbs favored annexation, and
voted for admittance. But there are
some few, the holders of acreage
tracts adjoining the city, who object
ed to annexation; they feared that
coming into the corporate limits
would force them to make donations
of valuable land for street purposes.
A mistaken impression seems pre-
valent among this disaffected ele-
blocks of land, should their commun-
tiles become part of the city. Ad-
mission into the corporate limits does
not mean that fruit and other acre
age must be Immediately divided into
city lots, streets cut through, etc.
If a man owned ten acres in the Very
Heart of the city, he could permit
streets to run through it or not, as
he saw fit.
And the additional advantages of
Fire and Police protection make ad-
mission to the city limits a proceed
ing much to be desired by the people
living near the edge of town.
City Taxes are a Trifle higher
than county taxes-and the Addition
al Advantages above referred to more
than compensate for the slight in
crease in taxes. There are taxes out
side of the city which city residents
do not have to pay.
So by coming into the corporate
limits these people living on the
Fringe of the town will enjoy all it's
comforts and advantages, and the
cost of living will be no higher, all
things considered. Residents, even
though they do live on small farms,
will receive Ample Fire and Police
Protection, which they do not enjoy,
stock will be prevented by the au-
thorities from roaming the streets
to the detriment of unfenced prem
ises, and he streets will be lighted
free of charge to those who lice in
the newly admitted additions.
So Why Not Vote for Annexation?
You have Everything to Win, and
Nothing to Lose.
Think it Over, and Vote Right Next
Time.

FRUIT GROWING.

In his report to the governor, State
Horticulturist F. A. Huntley has pre-
pared remarkably good brief for
the fruit industry of the state. With
carefully prepared statistics he has
shown to what extent fruit growing
has grown in this state. The key
note of Washington future as a
fruit growing state is struck by Mr.
Huntley in the statement that,
each in its own way, every part
of the state is adapted to some par
ticular fruit
THE growth of horticultural in
terests in the state during period
of the last few years indicates flu
ture development exceeding any
other class of productive industry
says the report.
Almost every section of the state
is eminently adapted to the produc-
ton of certain fruits to a degree OF
perfection unsurpassed elsewhere
Because of superior quality, Wash
ington's fruits are in demand in the
most discriminating markets in for
eign countries, as we'll as in Ameri-
ca. Commercial ideas have very
generally encouragement by reason
of the stimulating influence of broad.
ening markets for better fruit pro-
ducts. The highest prices realized
anywhere have been paid to the
growers of this state Fruit growing
is an intensive industry. Every de-
tail requires the personal attention
and skill of one who is practically
qualified. In proof of this we find
that the small orchards, managed
by their owners, are the ones paying
the largest profits.
Some of the most efficient means
of checking the ravages of insect
pests and fungus diseases are of re.
cent discovery. Improved methods in
grading, packing. handling and mar.
keting have all contributed to the
business of fruit growing. In the
management of orchards greater
care is shown in the selection of va
rieties and nursery stock; also. il

planting, cultivating, pruning and

The different and widely varying
natural conditions existing between
sections of the country have served to
make specializing prominent fea-
ture in fruit production. Some local.
tiles are best adapted to the deval-
opment of all the qualities desirable
in apples The same is true OF
peaches. Other situations produce
the choicest grapes. Divisions of
country surpass in the raising of
small fruits; and cranberry culture
has been established where the con-
ditions are ideal in every respect,
such special features have proved to
be important factors in making the
best of everything in horticulture
contribute to the magnificence of
Washington as fruit growing
state. -
Thurston ceunty's forte, as far as
profit is concerned, is certainly IN

can of course be raised here with
unvarying success, but in berry
growing Thurston county has becolie

port of the horticultural commission

Sears, ROebuck & Co. have diScOn-
tinued their grocery department.
Will those of out readers who have
been accustomed to send their
money to this concern kindly pause
long enough to let this statement
sink in? You may and you may not
know what caused Sears, Roebuck &
Co. to discontinue their grocery de-
partment. For fear you don't know
we will tell you; the pure food law
was the cause. The groceries that
this firm sold came under the ban of
that law; in other words, they were
inferior goOds-adulterated without
exception. And the pure food law
put such severe restrictions on the
sale of impure or adulterated gro
ceries that Sears. Roebuck & Co.
(and many other similar flrms) had
to quit that branch of business. This
firm sold groceries nightly cheap
that's so. But when you bought
coffee you got Drowned bread dough;
when you bought horse radish you
got sawdust; when yen bought sugar
you got glucose; when you bought
deviled ham or potted chicken. you
got the Lord knows what. But these
things were cheap, and you bouhgt
them. The pure food law requires
that such commodities shall be la
beled just what they are. Sears,
Roebuck & Co. decided to quit. Now
If these facts are true land We opine
they are) concerning the grocery de-
partment, is it not fair to presume
that other departments of their huge
establishment were conducted on the
same plan? For instance: They Of
fer steel range at SIS to $25 less
than honest goods can be bought for.
You could put all the steel there is
in those ranges in your eye without
needing the services of an oculist to
give you relief. Should our law
makers put law as stringent as the
pure food law on all other commo-
dities handled by the mail order
houses.( they would have to quit
business entirely. The moral of this
story is-buy your groceries, dry
goods, clothing, boots and shoes,
hardware. implements, furniture,
ETC., of the home merchant-the one
who handles honest goods, who does
mt have to quit business on account
of the pure food law. Honest now,
friend, isn't it about time you realiz-
ed you were up against a brace game

is taken from the Detroit Trade. That
