ror the sale of more than 60, coo boxes
# Grande Ronde apples at 81. 40 per
oox has been concluded between Il. u.
Carbine, of this county, and @. h.
Walker, of Kansas City.
Sixty thousand boxes OF apples
means approximately ITO carloads.
Loading of this monster order will
begin as soon as the apple picking
commences, or, in other words, at
once. Because winter varieties form
a large portion of the contract, the
order will be filed as the varieties are
picked. The winter grades, of course,
demand late picking, consequently
the cars will be flied as the crop har-
vest advances. The supply to fill this
order comes from MIR. Carbine's own
orchard and many Of the other grow
srs about the valley, who we're willing
to dispose Of their crop at the high
prise of 81. 40 per box.
Ben Davis and Gano constitute the
principal varieties. But Mr.. Carbine

pose OF many varieties of this order.

PAYS For Damaged Fruit.

Puyallup, WASH, Sept. 17.-Presi
dent Paulhamus, of the Puyallup 4
Sumner Fruit Growers association,
has received $1,000 net from the North
srn Pacific Express company tor fruit
damaged IN transit during last years
season. The case was settled out OF
court, the express company preiering
to pty rather than risk trial.
The case at issue is undoubtedly a
new phase of the shipment OF perisha-
bic fruit. In past years the North
ern Pacific Express Co., which is real
ly owned by the Northern Pacific
Railway Co. has not paid much atten.
tion to the necessity of carrying per.
ishable fruit to it's destination in first
class condition. Growers have been
absolutely at the mercy of the trans,
portation companies.
MI. Paulhamus said today:
"This Is not only an important
matter for the fruit growers of the
Puyallup valley, but it interests equal
ly the fruit growers of the entire
United States, for the reason that il
has established the fact that the ex
press companies have something to dC
besides accepting pay for transporta
tion,

The canoe was one of the earliest of
boats, but 1t is not in line with the
later growth. The ancestry of the
modern boat begins with the log and
is traced through the raft rather than
through the canoe. By lashing togeth-
er several logs it was found that lar
ger burdens could be carried. There
fore the boat of a single log grew into
one of several logs-a raft. BY the
time man had learned to make raft
we see he had learned something else
he had learned to row his boat along
by pulling at an oar instead of push
ing 1t along with paddle. Rats were
used by nearly all the nations of an
tlQuity. Herodotus, the father Of his
tory, tells us that they were in use in
