APPLES---
POOR PRICE
TWO CARLOADS OF YELLOW
NEWTOWNS GO AT $1.2O A BOX
IN NEW YORK CITY-RAISED
ON DRY LAND.

Present dispatches state that two
carloads of Yellow Newtowns grown
at Dayton. Wash, sold in New York
last week at $120 a box. This is
the lowest price for any Washington
apples sold on eastern markets this
season. The low price does not indi-
cate the falling off in the demand for
western apples, but it indicates low
price for inferior apples. Wenatchee,
Yakima and Hood River apples are
all commanding prices ranging from
So to 81 in the eastern markets. Year
after year it is demonstrated that an
irrigated apple will command much
higher price than that grown on nom
irrigated land, but inferior packing.
poor sorting and non-irrigated land
is what is tending to undermine the
apple markets this season

The Straw Market.

The people of the Big Bend have

to them a new market, viz: a place
TO sell their straw. Likewise the peo-

ize that the opening of this road may
cut down the expense of keeping
stock through the winter to a very
great degree. At the present time
hay is selling at $25 per ton. Straw

Managua, Dec. 17.-President Taft

sage to President Taft saying that

DRUGGISTS TOTEST
VALIDITY
TAX COMMISSIONER PARISH
POSTPONES ACTION UNTIL
OF PHARMACISTS.

Druggists will test the validity of
the state law which compels all
persons selling liquors to pay an an
nual tax of $25 to the state for the
privilege. With the understanding
that immediate action will be taken,
State Tax Commissioner T. A. Par
ish. who has been designated by the
tax commissioners to collect this
money, will defer radical proceedings
against pharmacists. 1t is believed
by the state tax commission that a
test case can be settled within thirty
days and as the druggists might be
right the state board will not be ar
bitrary.
Commissioner Parish has provided
officials of the Royal Arch with list
of the saloon men who have ignored
the state tax and the saloon mems
organization will insist that all men,
bers pay up any delinquent taxes and
| in the future remit their state tax
promptly.
1t is believed by the state tax COM
mission that the Royal Arch can COM
| pei payment of the liquor tax prompt
| " and save the state endless litiga-
| ton and much expense. Since the Of
| ficers of the organization have prom
| ised to see that the saloon men are
| not delinquent again an opportunity
will be given them to handle the
case.
| Since the tax commission sent out
peremptory notice that delinquent
| licenses must be paid Immediately, it
is announced $4,000 has been re-
ceived This amount will be increas-
ed by natural returns from the COM
missioner's warning. but the outcome
of the negotiations with the drug
gists and the Royal Arch is expected
to yield far more revenue than the
commissioners epistolary efforts.
In sending out notices to delin-
quents the tax commission has run
| into a number of peculiar complica-
tions. Apparently letters were sent
out indiscriminately to those who pay
government licenses and some of
them were addressed to men engaged
in other lines of business who hap
pened to pay federal licenses for
handling other goods, under the pure
food act A number of indignant re-
plies have been received by the COM
mission from men who do not handle
| liquors in any manner and the COM
mission has been obliged to explain
| its position.
