EDDYTOR1UL

Tother day when we set down
at our eddytoriul desk and firmly
/ grasped our eddytoriu1 pen to dash
off eddytoriul on some live sub
jock of hun1ing interest, we
couldn't seem to think of emmy live
subjeck of huming interest or
emmy other kind of a subjeck for
that matter.
AS we set there In deep disgust
cujjelling our poor brain and ran
sacking it from one end to tother,
as you might say, in the hope of
finding in its deep resesses some
think to write eddytoriul about
it seemed to us that there wassen't
a subjeck in the universe nor any,
where's else that we amt already
wrote about
Then we throwd down our pen
In disgust, clapped on our hat and
went out to take a walk around
through the sooburbs of Bingville,
thinking that. we might come acrost
sonethink that would sujjest a
subjeck, and sure enuff we did.
About half a mile north of town
out in the apple orchard under the
trees was Glenn Wilkins, one of
the most respeckted citizens of
Bingville, making cider from the
pure juice of the appel and bar
reling up same and putting it
away for fuchure consumption,
as you might say.
After we drunk three of four
tin dippersfull of the sweet cider
It occurd to us how much more in
viggerating & rejoovenating them
four tin dippersfull would of been
if it had only been hard cider in
std of fresh made. Then we de-
sided to write eddytoriul on hard
cider, which is one of the most
importantest commodities of Bing-
vile, being as when winter sets in
hereabouts most every respeckted
citizen has a bari of cider stored
away which he will not disturb I'M
til it becomes hard and contains
considerable kick.
: 1t amt been SO very long ago
sinst Rev. Saml Moore, our be-
loved pastor of the Bingville
church, went outen his way during
. Sunday sermon to say what a
turrible curse to Bingville hard
cider is. We don't agree with Rev.
Moore, and we think he has made
. turrible mistake in this instants
Hard cider is all right for them
as can take it or let it alone. OF
course, if everybody in Bingville
was like Bill Hepburn, our arts
tick blacksmith, who can set down
and drink a gal. of hard cider at
one setting, then it would be diff
ferent. On the other hand, how

Honor for Jed

Jed Peters, our intelligent school
teacher of the Bingville school, attend
ed a spelling bee at Dist. last Friday
night, and the teacher of the school
there asked Jed to give out the words
to the two sides, which was quite a
honor for Jed to be asked to do this
Jed complyed to the best of his ability,
but there was several big words which
he was not able to pernounce correctly,
so he passed them by.

ever, we maintain that hard cider
took in moderate doses is bene-
fshial & very exillerating. A glass
or two of hard cider on a cold win
ter's evg. or on a hot summer
day makes the world look a good
cal brighter & cheerfuller than the
world did before the hard cider
was absorbed. Hard cider puts
new life into a person and makes
them at peace with all the world.
We know what we be talkin' about
becuz we have tried it when we was
crushed in heart & spirits, whereas
after a little hard cider for our
stunmick's & spirits sake we felt
gay, joyous & very exhooberant.
You will notise that Glenn Viii
kins, who sujjested the subjeck of
this eddytoriul, has a advertise
rnent in another collurn of this wks
Boogle to the efeckt that after he
gets his cider made he will use his
cider press to make cider for 9TH
ers who desire to have it made.
There is also others in Our midst
who could do big bizness with
their cider presses in making cider
for folks hereabouts if they would
only advertise in the Bugle.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Interest now centers largely on al
ter-harvest developments, and the out
look in this direction continues to
hold suspicious. So far as the con-
ditions of growing grain are con-
cerned. all reports have been coming
in favorable, not only generally, but
throughout the Pacific Northwest in
particular. The leading wheat pro-
ducing sections of Washington are
making advance estimates of an in
crease in production over any pre-
ceding year in the history of this Sec
ton. and commercial forecasts are
running we'll up to the 40,OOO,OOO
bushel point, as against 51,00O,OOO for
the government estimate for June.
Business conditions show about the
normal developments of the season,
although continued changes in the
weather have had in some directions
tendency towards checking retail
and wholesale distributive operations.
Butter-There has been no further
change in the conditions of the butter
market.
Eggs-There has been further
falling off in receipts of strictly fresh
ranch stocks, and in some instances
quotations are higher, holding at 211 c
with a range down to zoe for some
offerings. Hot weather is expected
to advance the price quite steadily
from now on.
Dressed Meats-The pork and beef
market is weak and mutton is steady.
Changes in quotations are noted in
steers from $6@7.5O to $6.50@7, and
sheep from $7@s to $5.75Q7-
Poultry-With the passing of the
Matching season and the curtailment
of LAYING hens are coming to market
in over-supply, thereby forcing the
price down to 10c live weight. Spring
chickens are coming to hand in fair
way, but owing to high prices, the
demand is only fair. BOOSTERS are
moving in fairly good style, and prices
have been marked up to &C live
weight. Ducks, geese and turkeys are
out of season.
Cured Meats-There has been nc
change in this division within the
week as to prices, and business is Of
seasonable proportions.
Berries-Strawberries have, shown
the effect of lighter crop, with indif
ferent offerings, and the price has
fiuctuated between S1.75 and 81, witt
better shipments since the first o.
the week. Red raspberries and black
Il caps are a little more plentiful anC
have declined to $2@2.25 for the for
mer and S262.50 for the latter. Cur
rant and gooseberries remain the
same as last week, at $1.75 and 81.
Other Fruits-Navel oranges ar
cleaning up at $3.50, with Valencia
holding at S3.5O@3.75, while lemons
remain unchanged at last weeks quo

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Charles Hamilton, field manager of
the Yakima Valley Fruitgrowers' as
ISOLATION, now estimates that the Yak
ina valley will this year ship 1900
carloads of fruit, approximately half
the shipments of 1914. He estimates
the apple shipments at 1900 carloads,
peaches at 1000, pears at 500, and
other fruits at 200. Melon shipments
are not included as fruit.
Protracted conventions of appl e
growers of the Northwest, which re
suited in the organization of the
growers council and the appointment
of an advisory board or executive
committee, headed by w. H. Paul
hamus, last winter, in an effort to sta
bilize the Northwest apple market
may all have been in vain if the opin
ion of Charles ]. Brand, chief of the
federal bureau of markets and rura
organizations, indicates the atti
tude of the federal trade commission
which is investigating the Paulhamus
plan. Mr.. Paulhamus has announced
the Brand opinion, which states thai
the growers council is in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law when II
attempts to fix apple prices anc
blacklist shippers who do not abide
by them.
