Lomla & Co., large wholenale fruit dealer! end oold utoraKO warehouse owners, of New Yorlr city, has heen at Hood Kiver lor eeveral daya looking for oouHignmeuU of apples for bia Arm. Mr. Loomis baa traveled extensively In the western apple nro duotng country since leaving New York and reports that the large Hpile crop wbloh it expected from all nti tina of the country this year has riot been exaggerated. The fruit be says la not only plentiful but of a vury One quality. On this booouii1 lie thinks that prloes for fanoy fruit wiJl be somewhat lower this year than they were last. At Yakima, where he spent several days be was told that the enormous acreage of &:i,000 trees had been planted thero this seiiHon. Jle bas also visited Wenatohoe, Pas co, and the Toppendlsh country. lie says, however, that nowhore that be bas been bas be seen such ev idences of careful cultivation and line appearing orchards as at Hood lilver. Mr. Lorn la thinks that some varieties of apples grown elsewhore are fully the equal, if not the superior, of those grown here, but that for Now towns and Spltzenbergs we have the world beaten. He is particularly en thusiastic over the flue paok sent out from Hood Kiver and the good keep ing qualities and when asked how fanoy eastern fruit compared with that of the west said that there win no comparison between the box stock of the wet and the barrfl stook of the east with the exception of some Northern Bples, grown in Vermont wbloh bis firm have disposed of for as high as f U a burrel. While driving over the valley h visited the orchard of O. h. Vumior bllt and there saw growing the Wint.tr lianana which be thinks may develop Into a very fancy apple at a very fan cy price If its flelioate shipping quali ties oan be overcome and expeoU to baudle a few of them during the coin ing winter. Price, Mr. Loomis says, for the bost, lsno object, as anything that Is particularly choice can always be depended ou to make a market fur itself. Most varieties of apples lie thinks will be bought bite this year and does not look for many purcluihus until alter the orop is picked as buy ers are holding olf on account of the big yiold. lie was delighted with the line weather here after being in the Yaki ma oountry and said that the climate was as tine as any be bad seen in the west. Mr. Loomis has been coming to Hood River in the interest of Ips lirm for several years and bas liooouie very muoh interested in the develop ment of the oity and valley. Dcllcliius Food From Sta Kelp. Professors Magnuson and Frye of the state university have discovered and are patenting a prooess by which ordinary kelp, which is so abundant in the waters of Puget Hound, is transformed iuto a delicious food. Frye is now in Washington perfecting the patents. Prof. Magnuson, who was in lielliugham oue day lust week, Informed a Kevellle reporter that ar rangements are being perfected tor the equipment of a plaut and the prepara tion of the new food products on a large scale. The sample be bad with him somewhat resembled candied cit ron, but was superior in tlavor mid quality. Kelp is a palatable and thoroughly olean food, as is all vegetable mutter ooming from the sea, owing to the cleansing and purifying qualities of sea water. The kelp of Puget Sound, and in fact of the entire Paoillo coast, differs from that ot the Atlantic in that It Is free from iodine and other deleterious matter. The possibilities of this new indus try will be better appreciated when it is known that ovei HiKJ tons of citron peel are used aunually in the United States, and that the kelp can be put up in many different forms and as superior substitutes tor high priced jama, jellies, marmalades, etc., that tickle the palates ami touch the purses of fastidious epicures. It is probable that hellinghum will be giv eu an opportunity to bid foi the loca tion of the plant. Hellltighu in iievclle. Arrangements for Transfer of Money. The banks of the community are to many people merely places in which to deposit surplus money. They do not always appreciate that banking is a wonderful system, grown out ot the experience of years, without which this busy ltttU city would be relegat ed to the rank of a oountry cross road. They do not realize that the personality of our bankers aud the enterprise of our banks are worth even more to the growth and prosperi ty of the place than acquisition ol new industries for which the town is very propeily striving. It is characteristic of our local banks that anticipating the needs of our citizens, who have been Investing in Manitoba and other provinces ol' Western Canada, they huve already arranged for the necessary remittanc es of money by draft. Few will rea lize the amount of correspondence this has entailed ; but all who have caught the investment lever will grout ly appreciate the service, To have made it possible for our citizens to send any amount ot mon ey to be paid Immediately by any bank In Alhortn, Manitoba or Sas katchewan, without question and without exchange charges on the Ca nadian side, is certainly a stroke ot enterprise which adds to the services the bunks are continually giving the community. As a matter of fact, although it is not generally known, our banks are in a position to send money to all for eign countries at less cost than other iiguiioiiis. In this and other more im portant respects the local banks are gradually Improving their facilities and their service, and deserve the patronage ami support of local peo ple. Their condition speaks louder than words of the general prosper ity of this favored section. Inncccttsary Expense. Acute attacks of colic and diarrhoea come on without warning and prompt relief must he obtained. Thero is no necessity of incurring the expense of a physician's service in such cases if ('.liunilierlHin's Colic, Choleru and Diar rhoea Remedy is at band.

Air poisoned by the flame of gas iet, or that of an oil lamp is unfit for breathing purposes and exercises a decidedly injurious effect upon the occupant of the room.
