HOME MADE DRIED Fill ': According to Dr. Woods Hutchin son, this Is the season when we are apt to long for something green to eat, "something' to crunch." Prob ably earlier than for many years the stores of La Grande have been able to supply this almost universal want. For some time tomatoes, spinach, rad ishes, green onions, rhubarb and let tuce have been In the market, and even at the prices made necessary by long-dlstanee shipping, they have found a ready sale. Radishes, aspara gus, Jettuce and rhubarb come mainly from California points,' and Walla Walla has been furnishing the spin ach and onions. Another nice article of food that has lately appeared In the stores of the city comes from Cove. We refer to dried cherries, of two varieties Black Republicans and Oxhearts. They were brought In by Stackland Bros. Few realize to what extent dried cherries can be utilized. A trial will convince that Grande Bonde valley has an enterprise that will fill a big want with housewives, and if house keepers will try a tentative purchase at E. Polack a, they will be convinceu of the value of this product of a new Industry in Union county. It must be remembered that this drier at Cove Is practically the only one of its kind on the coast In fact. Is the only one that uses the most modern methods. ItOBEKTS PAYS FIXE.
