MILLION SMUDGES
READY
BUMPER CROP Is PREDICTED
FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE
UNDER NEW CONDITIONS-IN.
SPECTS NURSERY STOCK.

Kennewick, Wash, Feb. 15.-State
Horticultural Commissioner F. A.
Huntley, who has returned from a
trip through the fruit growing Sec
tons of eastern Washington and
Idaho, brings the report of excellent
prospects for a bumper fruit crop
this year.
Orchardists. in practically every
section are making preparations to
fight frost this spring and more than
100000 smudge pots will be ready
to be lighted when the danger sig
nal is given.
Huntley is devoting his time just
now to systematizing the inspection
of nursery stock. Owing to the
small appropriation made for the
maintenance of his department and
the unusually large acreage which
will be set to orchards this spring it
will be almost impossible to carry on
the work as it should be.
Hundreds of acres are now being
prepared for planting and nursery
shipments have begun to arrive, and
the year will probably be a record
breaker in the fruit growing indus

The new Commercial Club rooms
were well filled last night with club
members. 1t was a common report
on the street all day yesterday that
there would be a scrap on for the
various officers and that two tickets
were in the field. The election, how
ever, passed over very smoothly and
there proved to be but one contest
for Office, that in the case of the vice
presidency, wherein A. G. Dallach
and c. E. Owens were placed in nomi-
nation. Mr.. Owens won by a vote
of Sc to 43. All other officers were
elected unanimously.
The building committee of the COM
mercial club made a report as to the
financial condition of the building.
The building so far has cost SAL
271.86. From this amount there is
due from the city 1888. The COM
mittee has mortgage now of $4,000
on the building and this may be in
creased if the needs demand The
committees report last night showed
that there was a likelihood of there
being a deficit of $1,000. w. T..
Clark made the suggestion which
raised practically this amount. After
the report of the committee Mr..
Clark stated that he would head the
list with $25 to clear off the deficit.
Acting President Dallach appointed
soliciting committee to canvass the
members present and between $500
and $1,000 was raised for this fund
in ten minutes.
The commercial club went on rec
ord last night in a resolution OF
thanks to Ed. s. Russell and A. G.
Dallach for furnishing the upstairs
rooms, Mr.. Russell furnishing both
rest rooms and Mr. Dallach the sec
retary's room.
Arthur Gum gave notice that at
the next monthly meeting of the
commercial club he would introduce
a resolution providing for the amend
ment of bylaws relating to the cleo
ton of officers. AS outlined last
night his resolution would provide
that the names of all candidates for
Office should be posted on the bull
letin board two weeks before the
election and such candidate should
have the written endorsement of at
least three club members This
amendment will come up for action
at tho next meeting.

NATIONAL Ian FOR
AUTOS
OF WISE ONES
MEET AT CAPITAL TO DISCUSS
MEASURE FOR LAW GOVERN.
ING CARS.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 15.-To
urge upon congress the proposed law
for federal registration of automo-
biles and to promote uniform motor
vehicle legislation in the states, ma
tional legislative convention under
the auspices of the American Auto
mobile association will begin here
with a preliminary meeting today.
Governors of 20 states have named

1t is the purpose of the federal reg
istration to allow an automobile own
er, after complying with the require

state, to obtain federal registration
at a nominal fee that will permit
him to motor through any state in
the Union without paying second
tax and making a series of registra-
lions.

CHANGE N SCHOOL
ELECTION LAW
BALLOTS MUST BE ON WHITE
PAPER OF UNIFORM SIZE AND
QUALITY - DATE SATURDAY,
MARCH 5.

The annual school election in all
districts of this state, except the nine
districts of the first class, will be
held on Saturday, March 5.
The last legislature made two i'm
portant changes in the law govern
ing the election to which the atten-
ton of the school officers is being
directed by State Superintendent
Dewey.
First, the polls must be open from
1 until o'clock unless the board of
directors determine otherwise and so
announce in the notice of election.
The board is authorized to fix any
hour for closing the polls, not earlier
than O'Clock, by giving the required
notice.
The other important change in the
matter Of holding the election is the
proposition that all ballots must be
of white paper of uniform size AMI
quality" This does not mean that
the ballot must be printed. The only
provision for printed ballots is in the
nine districts of the first class.

DELEGATES CO TO.
YAKIMA
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE
STATE MEET THERE TODAY
SIONERS.

The county commissioners of the
state meet in regular session at North
Yakima today. Alex Pitcher, COM
missioner of the First district, and G.
B. Kinney, of the second, in this
county, left for Yakima Sunday in
company with delegates H. w. Otis
and George Hauber of the Chelan
Good Roads association.
movement will be made by the
Yakima forces to divert the state
highway from Wenatchee in order to
get it for themselves. At the pres.
ent time nothing of the sort can be
done other than to get the frame
up" started.
An effort will be made by the
Chelan county delegates to secure for
the county its just proportion of the
state road funds, to use as it sees fit,
the sentiment of the association be-
ing that the county should look af-
ter its home roads first.
In road district No. 1, in which
SWenatchee is the center and which
extends four miles up the Wenatchee
and ten miles up the Columbia, there
are 1873 miles of county roads. OF
this mileage 80 miles are trunk lines
up the Wenatchee and down the Co
lumbia from Wenatchee. Forty-two
miles are plated in subdivisions and
10 are feeders running in from vari-
Gus creeks and outlying districts. II
will be seen that with this large mile
age the amount that the commission
ers from road district No. 1 has to
spend will make a very small show
ing toward lettering the roads. BY
a systematic effort to put the trunk
lines in good condition, making sc
many miles of road year, a begin
ming could be made that would make
the work carry itself on by the ex-
ample, that had been set.
In the last fiscal year ending July
1, 1909, the sum of $7,919.S3 was
available in district No. 1, about s43
to the mile 1t is the desire of the
good roads club to get larger fund
for the coming year by adding to ii
the state appropriation.

Taste Lingers After Two Years.

As evidence that the taste of the
big red apple never dies, a registered
letter came to DIR. Blake this morning
from Fairbanks, Alaska, the land of
the midnight sun, asking him to quote
prices on Wenatchee apples. The let
ter came from the Imperial Cigar
store there. All that the parties
knew of DIR. Blake was that his name
was on some Winesap apple boxes
that they had purchased two years
ago. DR.. Blake had sold the apples
to the Powell Co. of Seattle and they
sent them to Alaska, where it Is UNI
derstood that they sold for So per

Cosmopolitan, from a friend. the com
missioner q agriculture, in 1879,
when Nr. Walker left Washington
for Denver.
The git was a ponderous file Of
agricultural reports" Mr.. Walker
said this morning. Il hardly knew
what to do with them. and the frelgh
was quite an item. bu' l didn't want
70 throw them away.
More than that, Mr. Walker start
ed In TO read one o. the reports n
day, after he had settled at Berke-
ley. Tires miles from Denver.
Just Out Of Curiosity.
oh, ! wasn't ever an amateur
farmer in those days" Mr.. Walker
ayerred modestly. 1T was largely
from curiosity that ! began to read,
and ! caught sight Of alfalfa first
probably because Il began with an

began TO wonder why alfalfa wasn't

But / wasn't satisfied. l got

The man who plowed It was so lazy
he didn't go more than three or four
inches deep and ! didn't know enough
TO care.
Wiped Out the Whole Patch.
We'll, the alfalfa came up, a
beautiful stand. Then came a dry
spell and the whole patch went
wiped out with a promptness that
was really pathetic. All vent excep'
a few tufts where, by accident my
lazy plowman had turned his pillow
IN the earth and sent 1t down deep

That gave me an dea. l planted

Some Alfalfa History.
Mr.. Walker gave a brief sketch o
alfalfa history.
1t undoubtedly is an Africa

to Spain. the spaniards carried it L

South America Il went 10 Cahfornii
