APPLE BOXES
ARE SCARCE
Farmers in Line Since Two O'Clock
This MOrning-43 Teams Wait
for Boxes.

The scramble among the fruit
growers for apple boxes is each day
becoming more intense.
At two o'clock this morning forty
three teams were in line at the Hay
den Lumber Company's premises,
awaiting their respective turns for
loading up.
Far into the forenoon long string
of wagons and weary drivers waited
to be served;
Waited for boxes to pack the val
ley's greatest crop for shipment.
For there will be more apples
shipped from the Wenatchee valley
this year than ever before. because
there are more trees in bearing, and
each successive year for the next ten
or fifteen years. barring blights of
failures, should see the output grad
ually increase
Two cars of empty boxes came in
last night. numbering about $4,000.
Conrad Rose is now over on the
Sound, searching for more boxes, and
hopes to secure an additional supply
to help out his patrons.
The box famine, according to the
lumbermen and the produce people.
is largely the fault of the growers.
Early in the season both the Hayden
Lumber company and the Wenatchee
Produce company spent money In ad-
vertising to the growers, urging
them to place orders In advance for
such boxes as it was probably they
would need; the companies pointed
out that by so doing an ample supply
of boxes for packing the immense
crop expected would be insured. and
trouble at rush time" would be
avoided.
The situation among the fruit
growers is becoming serious. not only
by reason of the box famine but also
owing to scarcity of help. That .
measure of financial loss will be sus-
tanned for these reasons is generally
conceded.
The present labor situation also
brings forcibly to mind that with the
advancement and settlement OF the
valley, and as the many large tracts
now set to fruit come to bearing.
the question of source Of suitable
labor supply Is to become one Of the
vital problems bsfers the growers.

Broke His Collar Bone.

1. A. Packard, the popular driver
of the T. S. mail wagon, is out of

While speeding down Wenatcnee

of his vehicle struck loose boulder,
and Mr.. Packard, caught off his
guard by the sudden impact, was
thrown violently to the ground, sus-
tanning a broken collar bone and a
bad shaking up.
DR.. Mccoy patched him up, and he

of the pleasant surprise awaiting his

WHAT CAUSES "rHE BENDS"

Frenchman Discovers How the Gale
son Disease Originates.
The work of constructing several
tunnels under rivers; requiring the
use of caissons or "air locks has
caused a relatively rare disease to be-
come common in New York, and the
subject of some general interest. Inc
"bends," as this malady is called by
workmen, was first observed among
pearl divers, but 1t was consider
able time before medical men under"
stood the cause of the peculiar condl"
ton, and then it was by an accident
that the discovery was made.
A French investigator in physiology,
M. Bert, while studying the effects
of increases in air pressure ON AMI
mails, had the good fortune to have
his apparatus explode. The dog in the
glass bell of the compression pump
died Immediately. The idea occurred
to Bert that perhaps he had simulated
it, this accident the conditions which
cause caisson disease and he set to
work to find out of what his dog had
so suddenly died.
The only abnormal condition Bert
could find was the presence OF bub-
bles of air in the heart and that this
was an adequate cause for death had
been known since the time of Galen.
A careful repetition Of Bert's expert
ment has shown that the conditions
he found are almost present when
death results from sudden decom-
preston.
Studies made by medical men have
confirmed Bert's theory in its appli-
cation to man. Under ordinary con-
ditions certain amount Of air pres"
sure be increased, as it is In COM
preston lock, to two or three times
atmospheric pressure the result Is
that a much larger quantity OF air
goes into solution with the blood.
Then if decomposition (the return to
normal atmospheric pressure) is quick
the dissolved air escapes as bubbles
into the circulation, and much harm
results to the individual, in that these
air bubbles act as foreign bodies III
the blood vessels and obstruct the
flow Of the blood. At times the es'
cape of the dissolved air from Its
state of solution in the blood Is so VIC
lent that it rupture sab ]ood vessel.
