Nick (iil)son, head of the tilbson
Fruit Co. of Chicago, and one of the
best known frultmen In thecouutry,
whs here last week for his first peep
at the valley. Mr. Gibson was ac
companied by YV. S. Michael, who
has represented the (ilbson Company
ou the coast for several years and
who is an old campaigner In the
fruit business. Gibson did not buy
any apples at Hood Klver, although
he Is anxious to get a slice of fbe fine
fruit that w 111 be shipped out of here
this fall. However, If there Is any to
be had that way, he wants It on
consignment. Last year the Gibson
company, which tins for a number of
years baud led the majority of the
Wenatchee product, did not have
any too profitable a season, and is
therefore somewhat wary about
placing coin In advance of the sea
son. The veteran fruit man was
taken about the valley by C. H.
Sproat, and also visited with the
Van Horn family, with whom he Is
well uctiuulu ted. .
Chas. M. Simons, a native of Glas
gow, Scotland, and menil)er of the

covered the Amerlcnn territory for
the firm, but this year,- owing to
sickness, was unable to come. Being
his first trip In the laud of the free
and the home of the brave, Mr.
Simons wns very much Interested In
everything he saw. A tour of the
valley under the escort of J. H. Hell
brouner and Truman Butler pleased
him mightily, although the smoke
prevented htm from seeing thecouu
try to Its liest advantage. This, he
stated, was not only the case here,
but elsewhere In the Northwest
where the forest fires are raging.
Mr. Simons Is a keen observer ami
an Interesting talker. He has apent
several years of his life In the fruit
districts of Spain and France, and
also visited India. His business has
brought him Into contact with the
fruits of the world. America, he be
lieves. Is just In Its Infancy. He
marvels at what the I'nlted States
will lie a century hence, and has
nothing but admiration for tin
country and Its people. Mr. French,
who has lieen here several times, Is
acting as pilot, nnd before returning
to F.ngland he and Mr. Simons will
visit all the Northwest fruit sections
DIED
mercantile pursuits there until IVM,
when he was elected county auditor
and served in this capacity for six
years. At the end of his term of of
fice he removed to Crookston, Minn., j
where he lived until VM'2, when he!
went to Minneapolis to take a pos. j
tlon on the Board of Grain Apeals, I
to which he was appointed by the!
governor. After filling this office
for two years, he came to Hood
Biver, arriving here in V.M, and re-;
shied lu re until last May, when be j
sold his holdings aud moved to his
late home at Oak (Jrove. !
