STARTS LARGE CONCRETE PLANT
Reclamation Service Will Manufac-
turc 1000 Headings for Use i'm
Irrigation System.

Granger has been selected by the
government as the location for a
large concrete manufacturing estab-
lishment of the reclamation service,
to be used in connection with the
Sunnyside canal system and for the
manufacture of 4u00 headings that
will be placed in the main canal.
The officials have begun the work
OF replacing the old wooden head
ings with re-enforced concrete head
ings. a gigantic task and one which
will greatly improve the condition
of the big canal. The system has
been in operation for sixteen years
and during that time repair work
has been kept down to a minimum.
In many places the canal has washed
badly and cut a deeper channel than
the one originally given it.
Trouble With Water Delivery.
This has made it impossible to
make a delivery from some of the
headings when the water is a little
low in the canal and in addition to
this inconvenience, the ranchers have
been constantly facing the danger of
troubles from worn out structures.
and the movement is a very welcome
one
Owing to the large number of head
ings that must be manufactured, the
placing of the plant at Granger

SNIPES MOUNTAIN PROJECT.
Engineer Cummings to BE Present,
However. ut Meeting Held in
Sunnyside SATURDAY..

Landowners of Snipes mountain
held a meeting Saturday at Sunny
side at which plans for the irrisa-
ton of that immense hill. the pro-
ject covering about 5000 acres, were
discussed. Owing to the absence of
Engineer Cummings of Seattle, who
has prepared the plans for the irri-
cation system, much of the detail
work could not be gone over and an
other meeting will be held during the
week
The promoters of this project feel
saneuine as to the eventual outcome
of their work and believe that the
mountain will be placed under irriga-
ton in a short time. They have
found almost unanimous support
among the landowners, the favorable
report of the engineer and the back
ing of the United States reclamation
service, besides the approval of the
business interests of Granger and
Sunnyside, the two places chiefly af-
fected by the plan.

WOULD CHANGE FRUIT LAW
Will Have Resolutions Ready for the
Meeting of Washington State
Horticultural Association.

Prominent local fruit growers and
shippers held meeting Friday even

The announcement was made after
the meeting that the growers and
shippers do not desire any radical
changes in the statute but that there
are many technical points they desire
to have revised One of these is a
provision that a person shall be
deemed guilty of an offense if he has
infected fruit in his possession. This
seems TO indicate that man can
not have wormy fruit on his apple
trees. and as 1t is impossible to keep
away all Goblin moth and disease
from orchards. nearly every fruit
grower appears to be guilty under
the law. This Is one of the features
thai the growers want eliminated

was also shown at the meeting, and
the Yakima ranchers will go to the
state horticultural meeting in Spo-
kane fully armed with ammunition
TO riddle this bill. as far as this
states support is concerned.
The Porter bill contemplates a
change in the size of standard apple
boxes from the present bushel size
to "heaped" bushel. This would
be about one-fifth larger than the
present box
Not only would this mean new
method of packing, and an expen-
sive educational step. but the grower
would not get a larger price for the
increased number of apples. and
there would pe proportionate loss
of value to the crop.
