A NAME
TO BE
-----y--s.--
COVETED

When you buy trees OF the
Washington Nursery company,
of Toppenish, you have the as
surance of getting what you
bought. and OF getting the fn-
est class OF stock that expert
ence and skill can produce, un-
der ideal conditions OF soil, eli
mate and moisture.
This fact is so well known
among the buying public that
an occasional INSCRIPTIONS nur-
sury salesman, who finds he
cannot make sale any other
way, will promise the buyer
that his stock shall come from
the Washington Nursery COM
pany.
We want to say right here that
every salesman who represents
US, carries 4 certificate of agen-
cy, signed and sealed by our Of
1hce, and that his catalogue,
plate books, and other litera-
ture bear the imprint of the
Washington Nursery, of Top
penish, Washington, and that
no other parties are authoriz.
ed to solicit orders, or sell
stock for us, and that all or.
ders taken by our statesmen are
duly acknowledged by our Of
nee, so that no purchaser need
De IN doubt as to who is re-
sponsible for the proper filing
of his order.
We make this statement on &C.
count OF reports which reach
ed us last week of three unau-
tnorized statesmen trying to de-
ceive the unwary by falsely
claiming that they would pro-
cure stock from US to fill their
orders.
The good name OF Washington
Nursery company was not won
IN a day-nor a week. nor a
year. Neither was it purchas-
ed by money nor inherited IT
was earned by painstaking
care, knowledge of how to
grow stock, hard work and at.
tention to business, ali combin-
ed with location for the grow
Ing of clean stock that is
probably unequalled today.
Any good reliable man with
satisfactory references can al.
ways procure a place with us
as salesman, as we are constant
~ extending our business over
a wider range of territory.
Spring sales are rapidly COM
ing in and we would advise
those who have been delaying
their orders to make an early
decision, as there is a strong
likelihood of short stock in
some OF the standard varieties.

Northern Pacific for it's fuel. The
Roslyn mines, some sixty-seven miles
away, are owned by the Northwest
ern Improvement company, North
ern Pacific allied corporation, tha-
in the past has always supplied an
abundance of good coal at reasonable
|prices to the Yakima valley towns,
as well as elsewhere through the
Pacific Northwest.
Last summer the company an
nounced that it had decided to get
out of the commercial coal business:
that the entire output of it's mines
would be required for its own use
in the train service.
Some railway officials have volun-
teered statements to the effect that
so much agitation against the rail-.
ways has had damaging effect upon
the business. and limited that had the
government and various state legis-
latures let them alone, there would
have been less trouble. Many peo-
pie have pounced upon this as an
indication that something like vast
conspiracy exists for the purpose. of
giving the country an "object les
son" of its dependence upon the good
will of the railways. If this be true
in the matter of fuel. the roads have
been hoist by their own petard in
many cases, for their reports reveal
serious losses because of shortages
Of company coal on almost every
division.
On all sides one hears statements
to the effect that in the effort to
control the coal supply and gather
the profits of the trade unto them
selves, the railways have frozen out

build spurs to private mines, or to

Now many Yakima people believe
the Northern Pacific feels vindictive
on this score, and tried to get even
on the town by cutting down its

this as an absurdity, and point to
the very general shortage of coal
