Leslie Hamilton.
You will notice that have writ

this letter, Leslie darling.
1t Is not because want to be un.
conventional. sweetheart but because
] have found no endearing word In
our language that adequately en-
bodies what you are to me.
When put you on the train this
noon--after three weeks OF such
thrilling happiness as did not think
could come to anyone on this earth
my heart became leaden at the
thought that would not sec you for
at least a month, and my only COM
fort was that at the end Of that time
would go to you to bring you back
to be with me always.
After leaving you ! came back to
the office and plunged into work.
Honestly, Leslie dear. I wanted to
forget you--it hurt me so when I
remembered and realized that when
night came you would be hundreds
of miles away from me.
After an hour of loneliness SO
poignant that the discomfort was AL
most physical, gave 1t up as a bad
job rushed out Of the office, got into
the roadster---that roadster which has
been blessed with your dear presence,
and ate up the miles for hours.
Oh my girl, my girl how am I
going to get through the next weary
days. and weeks and perhaps
months? You know that I think it
is foolishness that we must have a
wedding and that you must have
trousseau If. because OF them, we
will lose out of our lives all this
eternity of companionship and love?
And to think that three weeks
ago, my darling, ! did not know
there was such a girl as you in all
the world. 1t doesn't seem possible
years without in some way finding
you before this. ] rail at Fate for
keeping you so long from me.
At this moment my fingers are
tingling with the desire to touch
that little curl behind your ear.

how much will power it took in the

WASHINGTON YIELDS One
FOURTH OF U. S. APPLES

According to the government
estimates for June l, the three
northwest states of Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho will have
an increased apple tonnage over
last year and there will be u
marked decrease in most all Of
the apple producing states in the
East and middle-west. If this
estimate is correct, Washington
will yield one-fourth of all the
commercial apples produced in
the United States and the three
northwest states will produce
one-third. The commercial crop
for this state is estimated at %,
991 900 boxes or an increase over
1922 of 2,679,O00 boxes. Both
Oregon and Idaho will harvest
about four times as many apples
as they did last year. New
York, Illinois, Missouri and Col
brado all show a marked de-
crease over 1922. The estimate
also shows that the total ton
mage in the United States of
commercial apples willobe slight
ly in excess of last wear.

CHERRIES CLEANED up
SHIP FIRST EARLY APPLES

The first six boxes of early ap.
Piles for the season were shipped
out Thursday by R. w. Gruenha,
gen. They were the Early Harvest
variety of good size and were sent
to Seattle.
Shipments of early apples will
probably be going out next week
altho the peak Of the Yellsw Trans.
parent shipments will not be
reached until about July 1st.
The last of the Bing and Royal
Ann cherries will go out the first
of next week. About half of the
cherry shipments this week have
been going to Seattle and the 9TH
er half to points in Idaho and Mon
tana. The price in Seattle has
ranged between tic and 20c this
week for Bings and about SC less
per pound for Royal AIMS. The
Montana and Idaho shipments have
been going out under a guaranteed
price of 25c for Bings and about
the same spread as in Seattle for
Royal AIMS. The eastern ship
ments, however, carry much
higher express rate.
The apricots will be ready for
market about the same time as the
Yellow Transparent apples.

PLANT OPERATING AGAIN

The work of rewinding the 100

Water company plant, that burned
out two weeks ago today, was fin
ished Thursday night and the plant
started up again Friday morning.
S. Robert Israel and Vincent Small
of the Empire Electric company of
Pasco have been working day and
night since June End, and from all
appearances have done splendid
job in record time. Mr.. Israel says
that the motor today is just as
good as a new one.
Because of the unusually cool
spring and the large amount of
rainfall and the fact that the three
hundred odd acres receiving water
from the plant we're pretty we'll

little damage was done except to

TO have A MODERN
up TO DATE STORE

Ever since he took charge of the
Leggett Mercantile company bust
ness in White Bluffs about three
weeks ago. Manager W. R. Huey
has been going over the stock to
get acqainted with the goods and
planning the alterations and chan
ges necessary to make it an up-to-
date modern store. He has decid-
ed upon the changes he will make
and the carpenters are already at
work. Some of these changes are ::
dividing the store into depart
ments; lowering the shelves so they
can all be reached from the floor.
and changing the front door from
corner to center entrance.
The grocery department will be
across the back Of the store and
part way up the east side. The
balance of the east side will be the
shoe department, while the cloth
ing and furnishing will occupy the
entire west side. The front door
will be q double entrance with
deep window shelves on each side
to display vegetables and other
goods. The whole building is to
be painted inside and out. as we'll
as the shelves and other fixtures.
Mr.. Huey estimates that it will
take about three weeks or more to
complete the work but when it is
finished, he says, it will he as at.
tractive and up-to-date as any store
in this part of the state.
And just to prove it is not all
looks, Mr.. Huey says, he plans to
make the price Of the goods han
died and the quality and service
just as attractive as the store. In
its display ad this week the store
is offering a number of attractive
bargains. This ad will be changed
from time to time and Mr.. Huey
asks that the readers follow these
ads for bargains.
