"daylight liquor law,"
"It is up to tho Democratic party
to fight it out," said Bryan. "I

released from prison after serving
n sentence of a few years, but Frank

murder he had served a term in the
state prison for highway robbery

That the northwest apple crop Is
the best in point of quality ever

will be received hi' growers this sea

George Rae, senior member of tho
firm of Rae & Hatfield, fruit brok
ers of New York, who arrived in this

quality could not be better. Satis
factory prices will be received, in
my opinion, ns the eastcm crop this

bulky."

once with local fruit men and stated
that he was delighted with the pros-
1 pects in the valley. "But then," ha
I concluded, "one always expects a
splendid
crop in this favored sec-
