the W8lIa Walla. Yakima. Wenatchee
and Southwestern Washington dis
tricts will make strong bids for some
of the prizes, and there seems to be
no good reason why San Juan county

being offered and fortunate CONTEXT

expense incurred in assembling and
shipping to the show their exhibits.
Buyers from all parts of the United

due much of the success of apple

northwest. San Juan can and does
raise as fine fruit as other sections OF
the northwest and there is no good
reason why we should not let this
fact be widely known.
