LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Opposed 10 Creating More Debt.

Mr. Edltcr:-We are informed
through our daily papers that our
town hall will DC ready for the city
meeting and it strikes the writer that
the most graceful thing we can do to
grace the new hall is TO stop running
the city into debt I suppose It would
ne out Of order TO make a motion that
instead Of making an appropriation Of
$4,000 for a new dam at Bog Meadow
we start q sinking fund for the pur-
pose of repairing Bog Meadow dam
when 1t needs it. I am told by one Of
the most able X-superintendents of
the water board that it is not neces-
sary to lay out one dollar on that dam
for eight years. We would have an
abundance Of water if we cut out the
use of water for manufacturing pur-
poses and elevators and turn them
over to the electric plant The con-
sumer would not suffer. for the electric
plant can give them power as cheap as
the city water. This could be brought

her $3.50 a week. This girls name

followed her career with much pleas

place is America, where one can rise
from the lowest place to the highest.
Whereas I had to pay her $3.50 for a

, used now as an excuse for the high
prices. We are making no money at
ALL"
Several other dealers said they
didn't know whether there was a
trust or not, but they were aware that
prices for all garden stun hadn't
been so high in a decade. One re-
suit of the high prices had been to
force some OF the small dealers out
OF business. Quite a number of stalls
In Washington Market have For
Rent signs on them.
A member Of the firm of John Nix
& Co., who are said to be largest
wholesale dealers in fruits and veget-
bles In New York City, and who have
buyers in California, Florida, Ber-
muda, the Carolinas, England and
elsewhere, was asked about the
charge that there was fruit and veg
etable trust
Never heard of It," he said, "and
there is no such trust. If any man or
set OF men tried to corner the market
he or they would fail. There are too
many sources of supply. 1t is true
prices are high. but the demand is
here, and the law of supply and de-
mand rules.
Naturally we get all we can for
our goods. My opinion Is that the
Grocers' Association is responsible
for the present high prices. Long af-
ter wholesale prices have dropped,
grocers go on charging the high
prices irrespective of market condi-
tions. The consumer should trade
more carefully and not pay such
prices as are exacted. If he would
study the markets more carefully, the
grocers would soon find 1t out, and
prices would be more reasonable"
Owing to the high prices ruling
for potatoes. large quantities are
being shipped here from England.
The wholesale price of Southern po-
tatoes Is now around $3.50 a bag,
the tariff on each bag, seventy cents,
proving no obstacle. The steamer
Minnehaha brought in from London
1000 bags of Scotch potatoes.

under certain conditions for free

United States, the revenues Of the
islands will be considerably affected,

The message was submitted to both
houses of Congress shortly after they
convened. Generally speaking the bill
submitted by the President makes a
slight increase in the rates of duty
now provided in the Philippine tariff.

insure as far as practicable the bene-

American manufactures and products.

leaving the telephone booth he per-

the year yet accorded for this grade.
He expressed himself as being de-

I'VE will see no more cheap wheat
In this country till there is more ex-
tensive production to meet the grow
ing consumption demands" contin-
ued Mr.. Patten. "I see little chance
for this increase in production in this
country this year because farmers all
over the Northwest declare there is
