been as heavy as was expected. owing
to weather conditions and high wa

the mistake OF watering the tobacco
to force a season, when the buyers
have announced that under no con-
ditions would they pay full prices for
the watered article. The watering
cannot be disguised. and those who
continue the practice viii suffer the
inevitable consciousness. On tobaccOs

Northern Pacific reconstructed its
line in Thurston county, dug a
new channel for the Chookum-

The result was that whenever
high water came it took a fine fat
slice off the Bansee farm, and
Ransee appeared in federal court
this morning asking for an In

from continuing the river in It's
