Milton's Lemon Crop Ripe,
Milton's lemon crop, which so far
as we know, consists of exactly two
specimens of . this luscious trait, will
be ripe In about two weeks, when the
work of picking will commence. Al
though the crop this season Is some
what limited, the quality of the fruit
makes up for what there may be
larking In quantity, the largest speci
men measuring 12x44, while the
other Is a trifle Hinaller. The fruit
was raised by Mrs. M. J. Black on her
place in this city, the tree being
about 4H feel high.1 '.
The question of finding a market
Is causing the grower considerable un
easiness. Walla Walla last summer
passed an ordinance taxing our lemon
and banana raisers $150 per year for
selling their product there, which ef
fectually closes that market. She
will probably ask for bids from east
ern wholesale houses and believes
that her product will command the
highest price. Milton Eagle.

Those who haua occasion to use al
cohol for burning or any mechanical
or Industrial purpose, should remem
ber that as a result of the new na
tional law, denatured grain alcohol
can now be had at a price which
makes It an object to use It instead of
wood alcohol.
Denatured alcohol Is pure grain al
cohol to which a small amount of
wood alcohol and certain chemicals
have been added so aa to make It un
fit for drinking purposes or medicinal
uses. '
For heat, power, and all uses in the
arts and industries, denatured alco
hol Is superior to the dangerously
poison wood alcohol and . will doubt
less replace the latter. We are ready
to supply denatured alcohol In any
quantity.
