Apple land at $2,000 per acre reads
like a fairy1 tale but this price has
been paid In' several Sections of the
Northwest. This price was recently of
fered J. L. Dumas of Duyton, Wash
ington and he refused. Mr. Dumas has
100 acres in winter apples. From this
tract for the year 1907' he marketed
84,000 boxes, 1908 ne marketed ovor
,3C,000 boxes for which he receive.1
$1,25 per box. We are not informed
what the 1907 crop brought but even
averaging the two crops at $1,00 , er
box and valuing his land ou a bn.'U
of $2,000 per, acre his Income for two
uccesstve years was equivalent ,to
17 per cent gross on this Investment.

present session of congress will be
called upon ,to give this body such
authority. A commission without the
power to fix rates wfll have little ef

which our country now has to deal
with and do Justice to all concerned.
Several years ago there was consider
able talk along the - lines of govern
ment ownership of railroads, but the
activity Jn an" attempt to adjust and
regulate the railroads during the
Roosevelt administration, the govern
ment ownership was almost lost sight
of but if the recent decision of the U.
S. Supreme Court taeans that the
people have lost what thejAthought
they had gained, the old question may
be revived. The majority of our peo
ple do not take -kindly to government
ownership1 6 Jt It might be made one
of the leading political questions of
our. nation.
