Frank Steinkamp, of St. Paul, writes Homer Day as follows: '"I made It a point myself while In New York to call on several buyers of the apples for Park & Tlllford stores. There are about 3.1 or -I1) of them In New York that cater to nothing but the very test trade. I'pon Inquiry of these buyers I Hnd that they buy tilctly the Hood Klver upples, Spitz- enburg and Yellow Newtown. They sell these at "a cents a dozen, almost six cents apiece, so you can readily see that the east Is aware of the pos sibilities of the west, and Is, to me, an admission of a superiority over the ottier apples, which are sold for considerable less." This shows what White Salmon may expect 11 they handle their apples as Intelligently and pack as honestly as their neigh bors across the river. FRANKTON Mrs. A 1 1 If Collins was h .aest of Mrs It.
