AT
TWO DOLLARS
California Fruits Way Up This Year
Regarded as Indication OF
Price Here.

J. C.. Eakle is in receipt of let
ter from his father at Napa, Cali
fornia, which states that the people
of that valley receive $500 a box for
their peaches. This price was four
times that received any previous
year for this fruit and is regarded as
an indication of the prices which will
prevail in the Wenatchee valley this
year will be higher than ever before
Mr.. Eakle states that there was a
fair crop of peaches all over the
state of California and that the high
prices were due the failure of crops
in the East.
In California they are now ffaring
fourteen cents for dried peaches
where the price before was six and
one-half to seven cents. TIE peaches
in the Wenatchee valley excel this
fruit as grown in the Napa valley,
according to Mr.. Eackle, and there
Seems to be no question bat that
the high prices prevailing for the
early fruit will continue for the
peach, apricot and pear crops.

WESLEY L.. ?JONF,S ?MAY
BE NEXT L. S. SENATOR
Resolutions Asking Him to Run to
Be Answered on His Return
to North Yakima.

Wesley L. Jones may be the next
senator from Washington. At least
these are the indications at the pres
ent time. The people of Yakima in
a public meeting called for the pur-
pose passed resolution request
ing him to become candidate.
Asked by representative of the
Daily World as to what stand he
would take in the matter, Mr.. Jones
said: Il have not yet made my re-
ply to the resolution passed by the
people at home and cannot with
courtesy to them state my position
in the matter until given to them. l
expect to give my formal answer on
my return to that city"
1t is believed, however, that Yak
mas favorite son will accept the
pToffered plum. A report to the
effect that he had pledged himself
to Senator AnkeDy not to run should
the latter desire to make the race
again has been denied by him, and it
is not improbable that JONES' will be
the next senator from this state.
The Yakima Republic of this week
publishes the following apropos of
the subject:
Pursuant to a call published in
this paper, about so citizens of
North Yakima, a representative
body, mainly of republicans, but also
with a sprinkling of democrats, met
at Tieton hall last night and, after
discussing the matter at some length
passed a resolution asking Congress
man w. L. Jones to be candidate
for the senate next year.
After the passing of the resolu-
lions the meeting adjourned to the
home of Mr.. Jones on Naches ave-
nue., and informed him of the action
that had been taken. Mr.. Jones ex-
pressed his appreciation Of the ac-
ton of his friends and neighbors,
and promised to give them an an
swer within a few days.
Fred Parker was made chairman
of the meeting at the hall and C. H.

was addressed by Professor Barge, |
Ed. Parker, John Lynch, D. E. Lesh,
H. K. Sinclair, L. o. Meigs, w. B.
Dudley, j. D. Medill, H. Snively
and others The general opinion was
that the people of the state want
Mr.. Jones to be a candidate and
that If he comes out for the place he
will secure the votes of majority
of them at the primaries.
A committee was appointed, COM
posed of D. E. Lesh, w. L. Steinweg,
Professor Barge, H. K. Sinclair and

sense of the meeting.
The committee reported the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopt
ed:
Resolved, That we, the friends
and neighbors and political support
ers of the Hon. W. L. Jones, of Yak
ina county, believing that his 10l
years of faithful service of the peo-

Case. in the Redlands Facts, for "ln our homes lies the strength of our na- tlon.' The frlvolites of life, the mad rush for money and the dizzy whlrl of pleasures cannot reach the man who has to make his living by daily labor, who has to consider how every dollar Is spent and who has to economize his time and strength.
 It Is not so hard to make a living if man can rise above his environments and be content with small beginnings Think, In few years he can have a cozy home of his own, a fair income and have time for wholesome pleas ure, too. A tiller of the soil Is nature $ nobleman. He plants the seed and in little while 1t sprouts and grows into thing of use or beauty He belongs to the great class of laborers and pro. ducers, and upon such depends the prosperity of our country. Think of what the effect would be If the agricul turist. hortcultutist and orchardist would say, i've will not york; Yet no such thing will happen. The farm CT is proud of his broad fields of grain and fine stock, the horticulturist of his gardens and the orchardist Is just as proud of n,s fire frI::s. The pride of possession and independence are two great factors in the makeup of the homecrofter'S life.
 The railroad companies have made 1t easy by cheap transportation for men who are really seeking homes, to reach the Far West. where thousands of builders are at work carving out homes for future posterity. and still there Is room for more.
 In the words of Henry w. Gracy: The citizen standing in the doorway of his home-contented on his thresh- old. his family gathered about his hearthstone, while the evening of well-spent day closes in scenes and sounds that are dearest-he shall save the Republic when the drum-tap is fu- tile and the barracks are exhausted"

that the average price paid by the

But do the people who have to pay

Let us look at some Of the records
of the Chicago Health Department for
reply.
The following from the Chicago
Health Department Bulletin of Octo-
Der %, 1906, speaks for Itself:
The city inspectors ut the Union

OF TUBERCULOSIS TRIMMED OUT,
AFTER HAVING BEEN PASSED BY
THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS"
'"They also condemned and destroyed
3,O03 pounds of cut meats shipIcd from

passed government inspection at those
places"
This shows the sort of government
inspection we have.
