Deacon Stephen Potter. one Of the
pioneers of Utica, N. Y. was a man
Of great eccentricity but high moral
character. The deacon will speak
the truth and shame the devil" was
often said of him.
On one occasion a friend was en-
gagged in lawsuit in regard to some
land few miles from Utica. He held
the land at high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as
witness. to prove how valuable the
land was. The deacon was sworn and
asked II he knew the land.
YES" he replied, II know every
foot of it."
What do you think 1t is worth, Mr..
Potter?" was the next question.
The old man paused a moment and
then said, slowly: IF had as many
dollars my yoke of oxen-could

vow-I would not give-a dollar an
acre for it!"-Youth's Companion.

FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL BULB
ING IN THIS CITY.

The members of the school board
at special meeting held yesterday
afternoon selected the firm of Ste

architects for the new high school
building in this city. This firm has
planned most of the school buildings
of Seattle for the past ten years and
the board took this into cOnsidera-
ton. The disposition was to give
the work to local architect If prac-
ticable, but inasmuch as the firm Sc
lected has had years of experience
in school buildings it was deemed
the most expedient to give the work
to the Seattle firm. The plans will
be ready in few weeks. The board
wants building to cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, INTELLECTUALLY
handsome, and something that will
be credit to the city.
The board also had under con-
sideration some changes in the school
hours of the different grades. This
was not decided but will be taken up
again in a few days.

BUY MANY APPLES
FOR EUROPE
REPRESENTATION FOR BRIDGE
PORT ORCHARD COMPANY
SAYS THERE Is GREAT DE-
MAND FOR FRUIT ACROSS THE
WATER

Approximately $45O,0O0 worth of
Washington apples will be sold in
Europe next year, arrangements for
the sale of about $500 carloads of
the fruit already having been made
by J. F. Pershing, of Chicago, who
has just returned from a two months
tour of Europe, where he acted as
publicity agent for Washington APP
pies.
Mr.. Pershing took to Europe about
20 carloads of apples, grown chiefly
in the section about Bridgeport, on
the Columbia, and disposed of all
the product The chief object of his
visit was TO establish agencies for
the product of the Bridgeport Or
chards Company. in which he is ex-
tensively interested, and during the
trip he made arrangements with COM
mission men in London, Liverpool,
Paris. ST. Petersburg, Berlin and
Hamburg to handle the apples this
year. Altogether orders were book
ed for about $500 carloads, if this
amount can be supplied.
Mr.. Pershing, who is associated
with J. B. Valentine in the Bridge
port Orchard enterprise, says;
During the coming summer VIM.
Dennis, Lord Mayor of Westminster,

to reach Spokane in July. During

the largest dealers in apples IN the
world.
During my trip spent some time
in Paris and was most strongly i'm
pressed by the methods of packing
there. In this regard they excel the
Americans in every way. All of their
fruit is packed between layers of ex-
celsior and one apple never touches
another, thus preventing any blem-
ishes.
There is vast field in Europe
for the sale of American apples, and
| believe that in the next few years
Americans will sell most of the fruit
throughout Europe. The Delicious
and Winter Banana are the chief ia
vorites. but there is a good market
for most other varieties grown in
Washington
The American apple is an innova-
ton in France, but they command
good prices, and with improved
methods of packing / believe that the
market there can be easily con-
trolled. There are no cold storage
plants in Paris, and if American ap-
piles are shipped there about the time
that their own apples are off the
market, good prices can be secured"

FINE NEW BUILDINGS r.
LEAVENWORTH.
FOR

The summer of 1909 will see a
greater number of improvements
than any year in its past history says
the Leavenworth Echo. 1t is now
pretty we'll settled that five brick
business blocks will be built the COM
ing summer. For some of them.
plans are already drawn and con-
tractors are now engaged in making
figures.
Mike Fitz will erect a two story
brick business house on his lot ad-
joining the Elliott building. 1t will
be thirty feet wide and not less than
eighty feet long. The Leavenworth
Mercantile Co, with its rapidly ex-
panding business finds itself crowded
for room to display goods and has
decided to begin the erection OF an
addition to it's present building 30X
100 adjoining the building occupied
at present. Messrs. Adams & Carr
at present occupy the lot with a
small frame Office building
E. A. King is perfecting his plans
to put up two story brick, 30x100
on the corner opposite the bank
where he is now. engaged in the feed
and grain business. This is one of
the very best corners in the town
J. w. Elliott bought the lot between
the opera house and the c. M. King
building, occupied by the City Drug
store last fall, and will fill the gap
with a handsome two story brick.
Messrs. Debord & Mccoy will build
brick on the two lots recently pur-
chased on Front street adjoining Mrs
Shortly's rooming house. 1t will
have = frontage of 60 feet and a
depth of 100. Whether it will be
one or two story has not yet been
decided. Their furniture business
has expanded so rapidly that more
room became an imperative neces-
sity. The senior member of this
firm departed for Chicago and other
eastern points and will, before he re-
turns, buy several cars of furniture
and possibly car of stoves.
All the buildings above mentioned
will be erected on Front street There
is some talk that the Mill company
may erect a building on the two lots
at the corner of Ninth and CONNER
cial streets, and If they do, it will
be something that the town can be
proud of. The Lamb-Davis people
have the reputation of never doing
anything by halves. There is rea-
sonable probability that other build
ings may be erected but SO far those
mentioned are all that may be con-
sidered certain.
