DISCUSS SHIP
MENT OF FRUIT
CHAS. Il. REED HAS PLAN TO
SHIP SIX CARLOADS OF WASH.
INGTON FRUIT FOR EXHIBI-
TION AT IRRIGATION CON-
GRESS.

Chas. B. Reed of Malaga is in re-
ceipt of a letter from the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce in reference
to the plan which he has evolved for
the shipment of six carloads of frUi:
to the National Irrigation Congress
at Albuquerque on September %.
The letter says:
Marion Tustin, Esq:
At the request of Mr.. Chas. b.
Reed, of Malaga, Wash, the officers
of this chamber have undertaken to
arouse interest in plan to collect
six carloads of the choicest fruit pro-
duced in Washington, for shipment
to the National Irrigation Congress
at Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sep
TENDER g. The project contemplates
making not only the most effective
exhibit possible at the congress, but
the free distribution among delegates
of one carload of fruit during each Of
the six days of the session.
1t is unnecessary to emphasize the
value of such a showing. If the in
terest exhibited by growers and those
directly concerned is sufficient to JUS
tify putting the project under way,
this chamber will be glad to act As
clearing house of information in ar
ranging to assemble and forward the
fruit. Producers, of course, will be
expected to select, pack and deliver,
at some common point agreed upon,
such choice samples as they will. be
glad to have exhibited and distrib-
uted.
In case the plan meets with the
necessary evidence of approval and
willingness to cooperate, we shall
consult the transportation companies
about arrap gements for forwarding
and will a1yisa you more definitely
as to detail when they are worked
out.
Yours very truly,
C. B. YANDELL,
SecretarE.

will or feeling against the man who

does for me, but that man himself
the man who opposes Levi Ankeny-
would feel that | was a scoundrel
in my own heart if did not support
Levi Ankeny for senator. In this
pending primary when the people
shall have cast their votes and when
the results shall have been deter
mined, then, ladies and gentlemen,

of the votes of this state in that pri-
mary election will be my candidate
before the Legislature, and every
friend | have, whether he be hold
over senator or whether he be new
ly elected senator or representative

islature, if he takes my advice, will
vote for the man whom the people by
a majority of their votes says they
want
