PEACH CANNING

COMMISSION MEN HERE SAY THE
PRICES ON PEACHES HAVE
REACHED BOTTOM.
Heaviest Shipment Produce Now Conn
ing in From Country = Logan
Berries Scarce.

Peach canning time is now on Com
mission men who are familiar with the
crop and market are of the opinion
that pea clres are now about as low
as they will go this season. The
heaviest shipments of the season are
now coming, in and housewives who are
in the habit of laying up a supply for
winter consumption will be left in the
lurch if they wait much longer. Prices
are holding steady at about a dollar.
Logan berries are scarce on the local
market. but raspberFies are still COM
ing in freely and prices remain un

Time for Second sprayino.

The most important spraying sea-
son of the entire year is to commence
tomorrow when Fruit Inspector C. L.
Whitney suggests the trees of this
valley be given the third spraying for
the second brood of Goblin moth The
spray consists of one pound of arsen-
ate of lead to 40 gallons of water and
should be applied heavily and especial
ly where the apples have not been we'll
thinned. For the high lands in Gar
field and Columbia counties the spray
ing should come about a week or 10
days later, but if good dose is ap-
piled in this valley the heaviest and
most damaging brood will be practi-
cally killed.

SAYS SPOKANE LOOKS GOOD.
WalIa WaIIa Editor Delighted With


City.
In an interview in a Spokane paper
r. c. Macleod of the Up-to-the- Times
Magazine, published in Walla Walla,
says:
81 am amazed at the continued
growth of Spokane, at it's industrial
activity and the great strides it has
made in every direction.
1T is my pleasure 70 visit your fine
city two or three times yearly" con-
tinued the editor. ION each of nay
visits Spokane seems to be engaged in
larger activities and to be building
up along broader and more substantial
lines.
your business streets are more
crowded with live people who look
like the progressive sort. The entire
Inland Empire should be proud of Spo-
kane, proud Of its courageous and en-
terprising business men, who seem to
have for motto that worthwhile
slogan Do it now Their activities are
not along selfish lines, but such as
to help every other municipality in
the interior country to contract the
habit of doing things and making fur
Their conquests. At no distant date
Spokane will be greater than Denver.
1t is backed up by a much better coun-
try than the Colorado city
WalIa Walla Progressive, Too.
while Spokane continues to set
swift pace as progressive city, Walla
Walla, the historical city of the Pa
cific northwest, has also drunk of the
elixir of life in recent years and today
as a city is making substantial strides
forward in every direction.

SAY STORY Is APPRECIATED
Commercial Club Expresses Pleasure
at Writeup by Chicago Man.


at Writeup by Chicago Man.
When the Chicago businessmen
were here a few weeks ago., accom-
panying them was a reporter from
the Chicago Record Herald who's.
name is Richard H. Little. Mr.. Little
has written several columns for his
paper describing the entire country
covered by the trip.
The Commercial club is in. receipt
Of a copy of the Chicago newspaper
in which Mr.. Little tells of his visit
to Walla Walla, of what he saw and
how delightfully."- surprised all were
and vet in a measure disappointed.
They expected to find. it seems, Walla
WalIa to be a frontier trading point
with wild Indians and a few cow
punchers in sole command, but on, the
contrary. when the party arrived, they
were escorted over the city in auto
mobiles to Whitman college,, to an
$4,000 Y NJ. C. A building, to, elab-
orately appointed Commercial cluD
quarters and to the offices of three
daily newspapers. their disappointment
at hot being able to kill deer within a
few rods of the railroad station was
converted into Amusement at the pro-
gress and development of WSlla Wallis
and the valley.
But the story Mr.. Little weaves out
of their visit here is one of the clev-
crest bits of publicity ever accorded
tbs section Of the country by news
paper or magazine writer The peo-
pie of the city feel that great honor
has been done them. Should Mr..
Little and his Chicago friends return
to Walla Walla, they would receive
even. more courteous consideration, II
possible. than when here before.
