me as to whether there is not danger
of an overproduction of fruit, consid-
ering the very large acreage that is
being planted in the West. My best
Judgment is that there never will be
so much raised that the selling price
will be below the point where rea-
sonable profit can be made on the
fruit Every year the production is
getting little lower in the East and
the quality also poorer. You here In
the West have educated the country
to a better quality Of fruit, and 1t is
safe to say that as long as your coun
try can produce the quality of fruit
that it does now there will be no dan
ger of the markets being over
stocked
Mr.. Stark has helped us to solve this
question about whether the apple bust
ness is likely to be overdone in our
best apple growing sections. We grow
quality of fruit that cannot be du-
plicated in many parts of our country
and will always find market for such
fruit.
What will apples sell for at picking
time? is a question often asked. I do
not know. The apple buyers are shy
this year, and l do not blame them
Last year they were too anxious to
buy and paid too much in many cases.
This year they are cautious. In the
East the buyers said they would not
pay more than 81 per barrel for apples,
but the growers said they would not
sell at such figures. There seemed to
be deadlock, but the last reports
indicate that the buyers and growers
are getting together. The last issue
of the Chicago Packer reports a good
many sales in the state of New York
at $1.75 and So. per barrel. Many grow
ers will not sell at these figures and
demand So. How the matter may turn
out | do not pretend to predict.
If apples in the state of New York
sell at So to SO per barrel, it is safe
to predict that our highest grade of
box apples will sell we'll. AS Mr..
Stark stated in his speech at Wenat-
chez, the East is looking to the West
for their best apples. We must not
expect last years prices-it will be
better for us as growers for the price
to rule a good deal lower than 1t did
last year. But the price will be high
enough to pay we'll if our fruit is well
colored, clean and we'll packed. The
day for shoddy packing has gone by.
The trade is becoming more and more
exacting, but that is good indication
for the man who puts UP an honest
| pack Be very careful to throw out
all apples that show any blemishes;
don't mix your sizes. Nothing hurts
the looks of a box of apples more than
to find apples big enough for three
tiers mixed in with apples scarcely big
enough to pack five tiers. Too much
of this kind of work has been done, but
it will not be tolerated any longer.
Apples are said to be cleaner this year
than usual Very few are wormy, no
bitter rot or scab is apparent so far
as I have seen.

promotion of pupils will take place. Be.
ginners' classes will be formed in each of
the two large buildings-the High school

verting point for the yards of con-
siderable portion of Minnesota and
Iowa, and most of the territory east
OF the Mississippi river which is not
supplied by shipments by way of the
Great Lakes from Duluth. In that
territory are thousands of retail lum-
Der yards into which several hun
dred cars of shingles can be dumped
without making an impression
worthy of note. Further, it is fact
that it is usually the case when a
large number of cars are assembled
at these transfer points, that the lar
ger number of them are sold and
waiting for equipment in which to
ship them on to destination.
AS practically no shingles have
been shipped from the western mills
for several weeks, the supply in
transit and at eastern distributing
points has been decreasing, even
though trade has not been especial
ly active. At the mills the supply
of shingles is light. Few of the
western shingle manufacturers make
a practice of piling up shingles at
home. They have not the storage
room nor the disposition to pile them
up if they had the room. So it hap
pens that the few cars still in tran
sit, and the shingles at transfer and
distributing points, represent the en-
tire present available supply. The
mills will not commence manufac-
turing shingles in a general way un-
til the first of March, at least. The
market is already feeling the effect.
Some low prices may have been made
during the past two weeks, but both
in the east and at the west the mar
Aet is strengthening. Last week a
western manufacturer authorized
his eastern agent by wire to sell at
a certain price. Within twenty-four
hours came another telegram in
structing the agent not to sell at any
price. That indicated a gain in
strength and it also indicates the
futility of attempting to put ones
finger on the market one day and
expect to find the prices there the
next morning-Mississippi Valley

new PRIMARY Law
PROVISIONS OF The Law PUZZLES
Authorities.
A Contention Is Made That Would
Perpetuate r1aChine Politics and
Discourage the Independent Voter,
and Permit But One Ballot at the
Primary Elections.

The new primary law is giving trouble
TO the city authorities whose duty it is to
construe it for the coming municipal
elections. and attorneys seem to differ as
to the meaning of some OF it's provisions.
The leading difficulty appears to be to
determine what parties are allowed eepa-
rate primary election tickets, some hcld-
ing that only the republican ticket 10
authorized. At the last election three
parties we've on the official ballot, Re.
publican, Citizens and Socialist. The
latter having received less than 10 per
cent. of the vote cast is eliminated, and,
to layman. reading Of the law would
show the other two parties to have =
right to separate ballots. The following
is the section OF the law governing the
case:
"SEc. 6. Any political organization
which at the general or city election last
preceding the primary was represented
on the official ballot by either regular
party candidates or by individual nomi.
nees only. may. upon complying with
the provisions of this act, have a separate
primary election ticket as a political par
ty. if any OF its candidates or individual
nominees received 10 per cent. of the
total vote cast at such last preceding
general or city election"
The objection is raised that the citizens
party was not political organization,
but the HERALD is unable to discover
how this contention can be sustained un.
less the words political organization"
be construed to mean parties of national
policies. The Citizens party was duly
organized political party for municipal
purposes. and the fact that it's organiza.
tion was complete is evidenced by the
fact that it elected the mayor, police
judge and three counclmen
subsequent section of the law ap-
pears to obscure Section 6, but, if the
deductions drawn were to hold, it would
render it impossible for an independent
movement or new party to get foot
ing. This would nullify the intent of
the legislature that enacted the primary
law. The intention OF the law was to
discourage political machines and foster
the independence of the voter, and We
believe it would be 30 construed by the
courts. Any other holding would defeat
the only reason that existed for the pas
sage of the law.

The Pure Food Law,

Secretary Wilson says, "One Of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the p essence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any Of these drugs. and the truth Of
this claim Is now fully proven. as no
mention Of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one Of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has
been proved beyond question during
the many years 1t has been in general
use. For sale by Evans Drug Co.

MILLS and CAMPS
Wheels Of Industry Re-
Suming Their Whirl.
Mills and Camps
Starting Up.

So far as Aberdeen is concerned, the
end OF the financial depression eeems to
be in sight. The lumber industry-which
is the life OF this region-cannot be said
to be in any such condition as it was
prior to November 1, but the loosening
up of money in California and the east
is giving the mill men, confidence in the
future, and preparations to begin work
in the mills and logging camps are in
evidence on every hand.
The Aberdeen Lumber q Shingle Co.
will start up next Monday Its shingle
mill, saw mill and logging camp. The
saw mill may run short hours for time.
but in all the company will furnish en-.
poyment to large number of men.
The Deming shingle mill started up
last Monday, after shutdown of sever.
al months, and this morning tn. North
Aberdeen shingle mill resumed operations
with full crew of men.
The o. K. Logging Co. will reopen it's
logging csmps on the Wishkah river
next Monday, furnishing employment to
about So men. Manager Shields has
been busy the last few days looking up
his old employees, whom he prefers to re.
engage.
The Burrows Co. mill is doubling it's
its capacity, and will saw lumber as soon
as the new machinery is in place, prob.
ably about March /.
The Anderson & Middleton mill has
employed number of men during the
close down making improvements and
needed repairs. and will resume active
operations as soon as they are com pleted.
which will be in about two weeks.

THESHINGLEMARkET
AN EASTERN VIEW OF RED CEDAR
SHINGLES.
Valley Lumberman on
the Situation. The Closing OF
Washington Mills Has Had a
Stiffening Effect on the Eastern
Market.

Any one who is familiar with the
grain markets of the country would
be at home in handling red cedar
shingles. Moreover, he would not be
surprised at angling that might
happen. or which does happen fire.
qaently in the shingle market. Even
those who have only superficial
knowledge of the manner in which
wheat fiuctuates from day to day,
and hour to hour, have something to
govern them in considering the man.
ner in which prices for shingles vary.
This being the case, it can be readily
understood how difficult it is for a
trade journal, however honest it may
be in attempting to give information
to its readers, to at all times make
accurate forecasts, or give exact
quotations. These remarks are
prompted by a report which appeared
in The Lumberman last week in the
letter from a western correspondent.
At the time the letter was written,
which was of necessity nearly W. :,
before its publication, certain con
ditions prevailed on the west coast.
BY the time the letter was given
publicity there had been radical
changes.
During all of lastyear the shingle
market was high. This was the result
of two principal factors combined
the enormous demand during a con-
siderable portion of the year, and the
difficulty Of delivering shingles ow-
ing to the congestion of freight on
the transcontinental lines. Dealers
who wanted shingles in hurry were
willing to pay high prices for them;
even offered prices above the market
If they could be assured of early de-
livery. With the sudden falling off
in business incident to the temporary
financial furry, prices fell. At the
same time, however, the shingle
mills of the far west ceased opera
tions, and have not yet resumed.
They will not resume before the first
of March at least. At the time the
market went off, a considerable num-
Der of shippers had a large number
of cars in transit. These shingles
represented high prices at the mills,
and their owners could not afford to
sell them at the prevailing prices.
They We're allowed to reach transfer
or storage points and remain there,
waiting for recovery in the mar
ket. These large supplies were not
a menace to the stability of the mar
ket, as a rule. Their owners were
perfectly able to hold them, and pre-
ferred to do so. These shingles are
being rapidly disposed of and the
supply will be reduced to a minimum
in very short time.
The average retail buyer of shin
giles .ealizes the absolute necessity
of carrying large supply of shingles
at such points as the Minnesota
Transfer, and a few hundred cars
concentrated there is his best pro-
lection when he needs a stock in a
hurry and cannot wait for coast
shipments. The Transfer is the d.
