Grades for British Armies.

The British apple growers have
recently been devoting considerable
attention to the establishment of
grades for their product and much
progress has been made in this de-
velopment. The chief reason for the
movement Is the desire to place ON the
large British markets an apple grown
In England which will compare
fayorubly in price with the best Amer
lean and Australasian product. 1t
has often hecn stated in England that
the market advantage OF the American
apple is entirely due to the fact that
II is correctly graded and packed
There is no large supply of British
apples which colsd be closely graded
for market. The British growers
generally have not paid much atten-
ton to market requirements in the
selection of their trees nor to the
care and cultivation of orchards.

a plain envelope. Finally the follow

tial electric lighting customers in the
United States was 1,001, 700, according,
to a survey just completed of re-

Americans used $40. SS9. 100000 cubic

Lasswell, treasurer. H. c. Stearns and w. F. Tate were elected to the council The women who boiled over are Mrs. E. B. Thompson and Mrs. Dick Hannon.

PREDICTS BIG
 TOURIST YEAR ;. FOR ALASKA
President Admiral Line Says Indications Are Will Ex-
 ceed Previous Seasons.

Tourist travel to Alaska next veal will exceed that of the past season according to H. F. Alexander, presi dent of the Pacific Steamship Com pany, in a letter to the Northwes' Business Review and Outlook, re ceived here by J. H Kline, loca agent for the Admiral Line. In quiries are already being made re garding reservations for travel tc the North next season, he states.
 In his letter MT Alexander says.
 "Our business would indicate that the Territory enjoyed this year one of, if not the heaviest, tourist crops in her history and yet present indi- cations promise a decidedly larger crop next year. This traffic does not ordinarily move until the middle of summer and yet inquiries are be- ing received in our offices at ths carly date at an average of 20 per day an unprecedented c c0nSNIi0n'
 "Far-sighted commercial organiza- tions all along the Pacific Coast, including our own Chamber of Com merce, who have sensed this natural tendency toward increased travel ac- tivities, are arranging to lend i'm petus to it by advertising campaigns which call for expenditures aggre gaNing $l,OOO,O00 in round figures This, I feel. substantiates my belle! in my business barometer for tWc reasons: First, these campaigns are conceived and executed by shrewd and analytical sales and advertising experts who would not be inclined tc attempt such efforts unless theil market was good, and second thi: unprecedented sum of money is madt possible by the contributions of busi ness concerns, the largest and tht smallest alike contributing in propor tiou. and these contributions to my mind constitute an unqualified con currence in this belief of bushes! minds of the Pacific Coast in gen eral.
 Business Conditions Good

Aver age Merchant, ct al, are free.minde enough of business cares and wor ries to take the family jauntins around the country, there can obvi ously be but one conclusion. bushes must be in a healthy condition, ant the future must look bright.
 ''This year has been one of tn healthiest travel years that thu country as a whole, and particularly the Pacific Coast. has enjoyed fol some time. and there is evidence that would lead to the belief tha' 1923 will greatly surpass it.
