I9e supreme court handed down
an opinion Monday in a case which
is of special Importance to merchants
as affecting liability upon checks in
the event OF the failure of the
bank upon which they are issued.
The action was brought in 1907 by
the Morris-Miller company, Tacoma
wholesale dry goods dealers. in the
superior court of Skagit county,
against A Won Pressentin, Hamil-
ton general merchant, for the collec-
ton of $343.1S, covering an account
for which the defendant had remit
ted by check upon the private bank
ing house OF A. w. Shaefer & Co.
This check was immedia tely deposit
ed in the Pacific National bank. of
Tacoma, and, there being no other
bank at Hamilton, forwarded to
Shaefer d Co. direct for collection.
Receiving no reply, the bank sent a
tracer, but before any formal de-
mand was made or the check can
celled receiver was appointed at
the request of Won Pressentin, who
drew the check. His argument was
that the bill had been paid and that
the Pacific National bank was negli-
gent in not presenting its claim. The
Skagit county court gave verdict to
the complainant and this is sustain
ed by the supreme court, which
holds. That when a man presents a
check in payment of bill and the
check is held up until the bank goes
into the hands of a receiver and the
man who wrote the check knows the
bank is dishonoring checks and
doesn't seek to protect himself, he
cannot avoid payment of the bill.

Crop and Market Notes.

The Wenatchee Valley Fruitgrow-
ers' association has taken steps for
the organization of an independent
selling agency system for marketing
the products of the company through
out the eastern and central western
states.
Basing the value of farm lands on
what they produce, then ntrinsically
the farm lands of Washington are
among the most valuable lands in the
United State. This is the conclusion
of one of the leading financial pub
! LEGATIONS of the country. The aver
age value per acre in the United
States is a tri1e under $2t. The
average in Washington was $32 on
the 1903 crop. The crops referred
to are wheat, oats, barley. rye. hay,
etc.
Mr.. Ruff, an extensive owner of
cranberry bog, intends putting in 100
acres of cranberries this season.
When it is estimated that it will cost
between $500 and $500 per acre for
preparing the ground and planting
some idea may be formed of the ex-
tent of the undertaking. A few
years ago cranberry bog land was
held at a nominal figure, now it Is
advancing steadily in price, and in a
few years land suitable for cranberry
culture will be held at a high rate.
| The facilities for growing cranberries
on this peninsula are unrivaled.
| Cranberries need a certain amount of
temperature, humidity. peat and
sand, all of which are found here
and certain success is assured, says
a Long Beach correspondent.
Reports from the various fruit dis
tricts predict crop of apples for
1911 that will be one-thlrd larger
than last years. An early spring
has hurt peaches in some sections,
but in the main the soft fruit pros
poets are good. Such indications are
| causing the growers to give consid-
cradle hard thought to the projected
Central Selling agency. In the
main, the proposal is gaining more
converts. Proper distribution is the
purpose of the organization 1t is
intended primarily to protect the in
terests of the producer, thereby safe
guarding the legitimate dealer
against speculative uncertainties and
insuring more reasonable prices to
the consumer. Such an organization
does not contemplate an improper
control of the markets or to operate
| in restraint of trade
