THE PASSING OF

The spirit Of still another old pioneer
has crossed the Great Divide in answer
TO the final summons of its Maker, and
has formed one more link in the chain
of the vast majority who have but gone
before and entered into the pale OF that
eternity from whence no traveller ever
returns to earthly cares and earthly
sorrows.
In the passing of J M. Brunzell. Jr.,

age Of SO years, months and is davs.

of that order, OF which the deceased
was an honored member in good stand
ing. A large assembly of sympathetic
and loving friends and relatives from
Silver City aud different points in
Owyhee County were present, when
the beautiful aud impressive funeral
service Of the Masonic order was gone
through with. At the close of the SER

wreaths cf flowers sacred to the mem
ory OF the departed one, on whose
marble features reposed the expression
of everlasting peace and happiness.
The interment took place in the Ma
sonic cemetery, and the remains were
followed to their last earthly abode by
a large concourse of people, who thus
paid the last sad tribute of respect to
one whom in life they had learned to
honor and love.
Thus passes long, useful aud event,
full life.
The immediate relatives surviving the
deceased are loving wife, Mrs. jose

European Market Demands Fruit Be
Well Packed

William Edmunds of Orondo, Wash,
scientific orchardist and one of the
founders of the Wenatchee Fruit Grow
ers association, who has Just returned
from the British Isles, where, in Co.
vent Garden, London, he exhibited four
ears of Washington apples, brought
back with him information of the re-
quirements of European markets and
some ideas regarding the packing of
fruit which are of interest to growers
in the United States and Canada.

or confne their operations to American
markets
"Perfection is the ideal toward
which every grower should strive, -
Mr.. Edmunds said, "and after the
fruit has been picked it should be
packed with regard to uniformity, ex-
ercising every care in placing only the
highest grade in the boxes. This will
make the apple offerings distinctive
and recognizable wherever exhibited,
whether for sale or in competition.

Ter boxes and packages. Europe is
ready to buy the cream of American
apples and is willing to pay the high
est market price for them. By supply
ing this increasing demand with the
best the orchards afford, I believe a
profitable trade can be built up.
American apples are not uncom-

foremost buyers assured me that the
