WHERE 14 THE MARKET?
Can the Fruit Crop of Wasco County be
gold This TearT
This is a question that is confront
ing the fruit growers of the county,
and is one that is serious. Unques'
tionably the crop will ba larger than
ever before, and the quality will be ex
cellent, but it is by no means certain
that it can be marketed at a profit to
the growers. This is largely the fault
of orchard i9ts,or the result of a lack of
enterprise on the part of Tbe Dalles.
Fruit growers have year after year
been devoting their attention to the
improvement of their orchards and in
creasing the number of their trees,
but have given no attentiou to creat
ing a market for their "product. Tbe
Dalles has been satisfied to get what
naturally came to it, but has put forth
little effort to increase its facilities for
doing business or afford a market for
the products of its patrons. For these
two reasons the orchardists of the
county are liable this year, to find
themselves with a large crop on their
bands that must be sold on a glutted
market, because the fruit must be sold
when it ripens.
This could yet be oyercome if the
capitalists of The Dalles would put up.
a canning establishment with a capac
ity sufficient to handle that portion of
the crop that cannot be sold at an ad
vantage in the green state, or if the
fruit growers themselves would form a
company and put up such an establish
ment. If they would but help them
selves in this matter they-would have
no fruit go to waste this year or any
other, but without a cannery they will
be fortunate indeed if they dispose of
their crop at a profit.

Ihey take baskets of eatables with
them and have their meals with the
same regularity at the play as they
would at home. Food is sold in all
Japanese theaters just as coffee and
ices and beer and whisky are sold in
English theaters, and the hawkers of
edibles attend to business while the
actors are strutting their brief hour
upon the stage. The "Jap" audiences

aisles in the body of the theater, sc
that those who have boxes in the mid

wooden hammer. This method ol
announcement is also employed by the
