FRUITGROwERs COOPERATE.

The FruitgrOwers' Union. recently
organized among the fruit raisers of
the Milton and Freewater districts will
try the interesting experiment this year
of handling and marketing the fruit
produced by it's members. some 300 in
number. In small way the growers
for several years have marketed their
own fruit. but owing to a lack of CO.
operation among the different growers,
the most successful results have not
been obtained This year however, the
growers have adopted plans employed
by the fruitmen's unions in the Yaki-
ma, Hood River and Wenatchee dis
tricts in marketing their fruit and it is
expected that better results will be Sc
cured. The Milton Freewater union
has just let contract for a new ware
mousse which will be erected in time to
handle this seasons crop. 1t will be To-
Gated conveniently to the two rail-
roads connecting with that place so
mat markets in all parts of the United
states can be conveniently reached In
order TO protect the eastern shipments
the union will keep a man in the biS
eastern markets. 1t will be the east
ern mans place to ascertain the hest
markets. place shipments to the best
possible advantage and see that COM
mission merchants make ADEQUATE re-
turns for all shipments received and
disposed Of.
by conducting the union on Strict
business principles, there is no reason
why the growers should not be able 70
get the largest possible returns for al,
the produce raised in the Milton and

FARMERS SET GOOD EXAMPLE.

Farmers over in the Weston neigh
borhood have started campaign for
better roads but instead of waiting
for the county authorities to take the
initiative the farmers have decided to
do the work themselves. Several en-
terprising farmers have taken the lead
and in lieu of soliciting subscriptions
have induced their neighbOrs to donate
a certain number of days work with
their teams. The scheme is meeting
with unexpected success, more than
200 days work having already been
promised. The county authorities have
agreed to assist by giving the farmers
the free use of the countys rock
crusher besides paying the expenses of
operation. The city of Weston is also
ing the rock. inasmuch as the merchants
and business houses will be benefited
by the gOOd ROADS Wnlcn IT is expected,
will encourage farmers to trade in the
town. Weston farmers are fully alive to

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS OUT
RESIGNS DEMOCRATIC LEADER
SHIP IN HOUSE.
In His Letter Mr.. Williams Declares
He Believes It for Party's
Best Interest.

Eufaula, Ala, June 20.-Announce-
ment of the resignation Of Congress-
man John Sharp Williams from the
minority leadership of the house was
made Thursday by Congressman H. D.
Clayton.
Mr.. Williams in letter to Mr.. Clay
ton, declares that his retirement is
actuated solely by the belief that it Is
best for the party. Mr.. Williams let
ter follows, in part:
Dear Henry:-I write this letter to
you as my resignation of the position
of the parliamentary floor leader for
the minority, the resignation to take
place upon the first Monday of De-
cember following this date. l have
been thinking about 1t good deal and
1t seems to me that if the next house
goes Democratic, who ever is going to
be speaker of that house, ought to
have at least the training of the last,
or short session of this congress not
only to fit him for its parliamentary
duties, but also to make more init
on the Democratic side than he per-
haps otherwise might have. If, upon
the other hand, the next house shall
be Republican, the preliminary train
ing will be just as necessary in order
to fit him for the very arduous duties
of leadership during the sixty-first con-
gress.
l have not consulted any of my
friends about resigning for fear they
might attempt to dissuade me and my
opinion of the absolute correctness of
the position which | am taking is so
clear that did not want either to be
dissuaded or to appear obstinate to-
wards them.
/ need not tell you, of course, be-
cause you know it, how much | shall
personally welcome the release from
hard work and from the limelight. AS
you and some personal friends know,
1 would, because of the condition of my
health have laid down the work before
this, but for the appearance of quit
ting while under fire." | would not,
however, permit the prospect OF the
work alone make me quit, if that were
all. l am actuatd solely by the idea
that the course that l am taking is
best for the party.-John Sharp Will
