McGIIL RETURNS WITH BRIDE.

q. d. McGill, who has been a brake
man on the Oroville to Princeton
train for the past two years and who
is known from this place to Coalmont
as the popular brake, returned We'd
nesday evening from Iowa with his
bride. McGill left for Iowa a couple
of weeks ago, ostensibly on a visit de-
void of Interior purpose, but when he
returned with his charming handicap
he threw an unexpected surprise into
his friends, who have been busy ever
since getting even. Mr.. McGill is
proud of his leap into matrimony, but
because of innate modesty requested
that no mention of his redemption be
that mention of his redemption be
omitted. He failed, however, to prop
erly bride the staff reporter and must
suffer the consequences.

of many other regions.
know, for l have been in those re-
giOns and later have bought many
barrel of apples from the country's
great apple mart, South Water Street,
and the Hay market, Chicago.
Easy to Combat Pests
Then again, think of the great ad-
vantage we have in fighting that great
apple pest, the codling moth. The
cool breeze of the mountain steals
down through our valleys on spring
and summer nights, and Mrs. Cooling
Moth shivers in her silky gown and
shuts up shop and departs for more
sultry cline. One spraying here will
equal four in the east and two in
southern regions. Altogether we are
wonderfully favored.
Finest Fruit at Less Cost
Summed up in brief. We can raise
the finest fruit for less cost than other
regions can raise poor fruit.
Let us supplement our natural ad-
vantages with proper irrigation, care
full planting and intensive cultivation,
scientific spraying and pruning and
economic cooperation in marketing
and we are soon in a class by and of
ourselves, above competition.
OverprOductiOn a BugabOO
Fifteen years ago with really huge
crop of 70 million barrels, panic hit
fruit men. Everybody planting ap-
pies, pretty soon you can't give them
away" That was the cry, heard time
and again. And how was it? Why,
steadily downward went the crop,
steadily upward climbed the price,
until twelve years later poor little
crop of % million barrels, only, was
all Uncle Sam could report. Prices
were out of sight-exOrbitant, con-
sumption of apples as common food
had received almost death blow and
the Apple King" was nabob in the
land of democracy. Some other time
shall write at some length of the dan
ger and damage Of extremely high
prices, at present l shall say only that
l hope enough growers will stick to
the apple business to keep prices down
to healthy level.
Keep on Planting Trees
And to all fruit men of the Okanog-
an; analyze the situation; reason right
down to bed rock; remember, when
hundreds of other poorly favored re-
gions are raising fruit at a loss, we
Of the Okanogan will yet have a mar
gin of profit. To be sure, while the
Darwinian theory of the survival OF
the fittest" is at work eliminating in
other fields, we won't find life's path
way strewn with roses, but just hang
on, go right along with that tree plant
ing, and with the turn of the apple
market tide we are "IT," and the Val
ley of the Okanogan will come into hel
own.

We handle one brand OF
Coffee at One Cent: a Pound
Margin now. Some people
may say we are foolish but
that's our business, and per-
haps that has something to do
with the large increase in Our
Coffee Business in the past
year.
We have tried handling sew
era1 different brands but have
found it very unsatisfactory, so
we stick to Chase and Sanborn.
The price may change but the
quality Of the coffee is always
the same and we do not
change the price unless we are
compelled to as the fact of
handling a coffee at one cent a
pound margin would indicate.
1t has been a great pleasure
for us to see the public and
Our patrons use Chase and
Sanborn's Coffee because we
can rely on it and then we
hear SO many good words
from the people who use it.
