Mr. Editor, last week we noted a com
ment on the difference in price of pota
toes 1' ween Canby and Oregon City.
If you would investigate the matter I
think you will find that Canby pays
more for all lines of produce than Ore
gon City merchants, that at least has
been the experience of those who have
traded at both places. Now, why is this
the case? Oregjn City merchants de
pend on retail trade, while the Canby
merchants ship.
