get out on time, and cannot put off an
established custom even for a grand
nurrah. There Is some method in
this plan, also. because the force wish

crowd. and that was another incentive
lor getting the paper out of the way at
the earliest moment.
so FAR as the weather and general
conditions are concerned daylight
never broke on more promising 4th,
Inc SKY was cloudy, so as to temper
the rays of the summer sun, the air
GENEROUSLY cool. and the late rain had
eliminated the dust, usually one of the
most annoying drawbacks at this sea-
son OF the year. Such combination
OF comfort is something out of the reg
uiar order at this time in the year in
TINS valley. The whole metereolog-
zeal conditions could not have been
improved upon even If the executive
committee had had the arranging OF
things along that line. There was
moist appearance in the heavens
around the edges, and a shower before
the expiration of two days is not be-
yond a possibility, but at the start of
the first day that danger is somewhat
remote.
The town is gay in flags, bunting
and evergreens. The business part of
town has quite holiday air. Several
business houses have gone to consid-
cradle trouble and expense in the COL
or effects. The Spokane hotel Oro-
vile Commercial store. j. H. Holmes,
A. ClaughtOn and others are elaborate
ly decorated, and busy hands were
still adding color to the scene Thurs
day morning.
The town was pretty well crowded
with out of town people in the early
hours, many having come in from
Penticton, Kercmeos and other points
Wednesday evening. Indications point
to big attendance, and as extensive
arrangements have been made for APP
propriate entertainment in the way of
sports and pastimes the crowd, no
matter how large it may be. will no
doubt find plenty to amuse and drive
dull care away.
The bang of the firecracker is in the
land. evidence that Young America is
alive to the occasion, and with patri-
otto disinterestedness is jeOpardizing

making a holiday. May all within

and abundantly during the continue.

be no accidents or loss of property to

COLD WEATHER OF SOUTH AZ.
FEcrs STRAWBERRY MARKET,
AND BERRIES STILL HIGH.
NEW POTATOES TOO HIGH
TO COMMAND LOCAL SALE
Would Have to Retail For 10 Cents a
Pound IL Dealers Cared to Handle
Them - What the Housewife May
Have For Her Sunday Table, and
Cost Of Green DeIieaeies.

Even tho the snow still hangs by,
and there is nothing but the calendar
to show that spring is here, dealers in
table delicacies have a big assortment
of hot house greenstuffs that, with a
little Imagination, will take the place
OF the .'gardensass" that is to come.
The unreasonable cold weather in
Florida, where the first Strawberries
are coming from. has in;erfered with
shipments, aitho berries were expected
in town today. and to sell a little under
what they did a week ago. They are
too high. however, to prove popular.
altho a shipment received last Satur-
day was all sold at 75 cents a box.
Berries today, if received, will retail at
about so or 65 cents, it was predicted
by dealers.
New potatoes have not as yet APP
peared on the local market, owing to
the fact that they are so high dealers
did not care to handle them at what
they would have to and show margin
of profit. The first of the 1912 crop
OF 'spuds'' are coming from Texas. and
sell to the dealer at cents pound.
The dealer must have a; least 10 cents.
and at the rate of Sc per bushel there
isn't much demand. Old potatoes at
$3.50 are plenty high enough. and
pound of the new crop will not aver
age more than four or five potatoes.
Ar Greenstuffs High.
Altho all greenstuffs row on the
market are high, there are enough
people who banker after a taste OF
spring to such ar extent that the rel
ishes and vegetables are moving at
very satisfactory rate.
Head lettuce is selling anywhere
from 10 to a shilling and 10 cents a
head, depending on the size. Leaf let
tuce comes at cents a stalk. Radishes
are selling at cents a bunch or TWO
for Is cents, running from eight TO
twelve in bunch. Others, punches
smaller, are selling at cents. Toma :
toes are commanding from 20 to %
cents a pound. and endive % cents
pound.
California pieplant. the first on the
market, sells from 10 TO 10 cents
round. Florida celery. and it is nice,
is retailing at is cents pound, and
the California variety is selling at 10
cent sper stalk.
Young onions. favorite this time
year with many people. are retailing at
from 3 to 10 cents a bunch, according
20 the number in the punches. Parsley
commands nickel bunch Cauliflow-
er may be had from Is TO % cents per
head, according to size. Hotnouse Gu
cumbe-s are selling at 10. 20 and %
cents each, according TO size. Green
peppers from, 3 10 5 cents each, or 80
cents the pound.
The big Spanish and the smaller red
onions are high even for this season OF
the year, and this is especially true OF
the red onions. Spanish are selling at

The buggy company had just one
