rock, ana the rock dissolved slightly
but perceptbly. Coming back to the
table, he stood for few minutes in
deep thought. Although the cot bed
was fixed to the floor, and although ii
was possible that the shelf in the next
cell conceded with its position, the
risk of discovery was too great to cut
a passage between the two cells there.

Three VARIETIES
OF APPLES

II. W. Day, of the firm of Scoble q
Dsy, of New York City, has just made
a visit to the Wenatchee apple belt,
and In an interview with the We
natchee World makes the following
statement:
"Mr. Day states that the eastern
market consumes only three kinds of
apples Spitzenbergs, Winesaps and
Newtowns. 1t is not possible to ship
smaller fruits or perishable grades of
apples on account of the great dis
tanoe. Prunes, however, are always
acceptable, and find ready market
In the east.
"In the opinion of Mr.. Day the
prices of various grades of apples will
be considerably higher this season
than last, on account OF the late de
structive frosts which have damaged
and desti ioyed the crop in so many
places. His company expects to buy
more apples locally than last year, and
will purchase as heretofore through
the Wenatchee Produce company.
This Is Mr.. Days third annual visit
to the Wenatch, valley, and he con
siders 1t one of the surest sources OF
supply from which his firm draws its
business.
"Last year the Wenatchee Produce
company paid local growers 50 boN
for Spitzenberg apples. The prices
this year will probably run LITTLE
more ON account of the short oroI
outside"
by way of comment on the last par
agraph of the above article we desir
to say that last year We received So, Il
for the apple called the Spitzenberg.

Ex-MayOr's Confession.

Mayor Blowers, accompanied by his
father and a number of prominent
Hood River people, visited White Sal
mon last Saturday. They were sur.
prised at the great growth the town
had taken on since they had visited
it before. The elder Blowers once
owned the land on which the town oil
White Salmon now stands, but be
traded it off to an Indian for hall
dozen cayugse ponies and blanket.
This, of course was in the early days
when real estate was not SO valuable
as it is now. Speaking the other day
of the "swap" Mr.. Blowers said:
"Of course | might have made q
better bargain had held the proper
ty until now, but at the time consid-
! cred that had vastly the best of the
bargain. In fact cheated him &C
bad | haven't been able to look au
honest Indian in the face since. " AL.
though living all the time at Hood
RIVER, this was the tlIss time he had
crossed the river to visit White Sal
mon since the incident of the
"swap. White Salmon Enterprise.

covered that the child was alive. But
with the aid of Miss Mary Scholmyer,
trained nurse of Portland and the
care OF the parents, the little one is
on the way to recovery. The child
