FINE STRAWBERRIES.
The AVALANCHE office has
been literally swamped with ad-
vertising and job work the past
week and much excellent news
matter is necessarily —left out
this issue. This condition is to
be regretted, but it is “a condi-
tion and not a theory that con-
fronts us.” The present manage-
ment is still living in hope that
the new equipment will soon be
installed, when such a humiliating
apology will not be necessary.
A number of advertising con-
tracts had to be turned down and
much live news matter has been
crowded out. “Some day, some
sweet day,” the Avalanche hopes
to be able to take care of the bus-
iness as it comes in. In the
meantime friends, be patient
with us.
Mrs. Beve Greenwood present-
ed the AVALANCHE office last

est Alpine Valley strawberries

were large as guinea fowl eggs
and the flavor was superior to
any the editorial tooth ever tast-
ed , Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood
have but a small “patch” in their
garden, but so prolific are the
plants that many quarts are tak-
en from them almost' daily now.
There is no land on the face of
the globe where such rich lu-
clous berries, such splendid fruit
of many kinds, grow to such per-
fection as in the Alpine Valley:
