PACKERS ARE NEEDED
Six and /. Cents a Box Being Paid
Here for Help, but Competent
Men Are Scarce.

1t has been suggested that the
growers should form some sort OF
an organization to get more apple
packers into the valley, and it is
thought that an ad should be run
in the Yakima and Hood River pa
pers stating the prices paid for pack
ers in this valley. The Hood River
and Yakima growers pay but 5 cents
and it is thought the additional price
paid here would be an inducement
to get more packers into the valley.
1t is stated that the situation is seri-
Gus. Only a small portion of the ap-
pie crop has been taken from the
trees, and already the growers are
delayed in moving the crop by the
lack of competent help. Many boys
and girls have been taken from the
schools for the purpose of assisting
in taking care of the crop.

SUGGESTIONS Of
TREASUR[RS
Legislative Committee of
Treasures Will Recon-
mend Tax Laws.

The meeting of the state treasur-
ers, which has been in session in
North Yakima, closed Wednesday
evening The treasurers recon-
mended the unification of systems,
accounts and reports from the var
ious county officers. The legislative
committee suggested amendments
to the present state law regulating
the duties of the treasurer, recon-
mended that personal taxes be made
by law delinquent on March Is, and
that Is per cent per annum interest
be charged thereafter. 1t was also
thought best by the exchequer guar
dams to have a law calling for dis
traint service by the sheriff's Off
GERS when such methods of collection
are necessary and a change was rec
commended in the school law making
it necessary for the county auditor
to Issue all school warrants on the
recommendation of the school direc-
tors. The same thing is recommend
ed in reference to the dixie and
drainage districts.
Make Monthly Balance.
1t was thought best by the body
that the treasurers shall make
monthly instead of quarterly settle
ments with the auditor, and uniform
tax rolls and collection registers and
uniform systems of extending and
collecting the taxes, those in use az
the present time in Yakima, Pierce.
Lewis and Benton counties were
adopted.
The next convention of the state
treasurers will be held in Tacoma
in 1911.
Treasurer Battles was in attend
ance at the meeting and will be
home the latter part of the week.

CLUBWOMAN BUILDS
HIGH SPITE FENCE
Canvasser Begins Quarrel Be-
tween Women After IL
Years of Peace

OAKLAND March 1s.-Mrs. Lillian
Swale Slemmons. a clubwoman living
at s72 Twenty-first street, has raised d
spite fence between her house and
that of Mrs. Susanna Hesse at 67S
Twenty first street whose husband she
accuses of writing Objectionable letters.
She has also taken some of the missives
TO Prosecuting Attorney Decoto for
legal redress. but the prosecutor has
found nothing in them to justify an
arrest.
Mrs. Hesse denies that either she or
her husband annoyed Mrs. Slemmons
and asserts that the spite fence is the
evidence of the first neighborly quarrel
between the Siemmons and Hesse
households in the p years that they
have been neighbors
The whole trouble. it is said. began
when Mrs. Slemmons sent a canvasser
from her door by telling him there was
smallpox in the house. The solicitor
went directly to the Hesse home, and
what ensued is told by Mrs Hesse. She
said that the solicitor asked her if she
knew of smallpox next door. She re-
piled that Fred Slemmons had cold,
but says that she did not say there
was any contagious disease in tie
place. The canvasser told Mrs. NHesse
he would notify the board of health
and left. Then. alleges Mrs. Hesse. she
and her husband were accused of going
TO the board of health with a complaint.
The next she knew of the quarrel, she
asserts, the fence was being built
Mrs. Slemmons says that the letters
she received contained aspersiens on
her character, and she had the high
fence built in retaliation

tine Of Halifax furnishes the following

putes in Canada during the last year:
In 1903 there were IS trade disputes

pared with Sc disputes, 26,2S2 workmen
involved, and 71S,443 working days lost
in 1908 The increase in the. loss of
time in 1909 was chiefly due to two coal
strikes in Nova Scotia The first of
these Nova Scotian strikes began July
6, involving $500 workers; the second.
involving 1,700 men. began August 10,
and both continued during the remain
derNof the year.

minion last year were as follows: For

ton in wages. 5: for decrease in hours.
,; against employment of particular
persons 8: against conditions of en-
ployment, 5; for recognition of union,
4; unclassified, s.

negotiations between the parties con-
cerned, 21; replacement OF workers, %;

(employer not involved). /: employ
ment found elsewhere by strikers, 2;

a result Of the reform movement

who appreciate the great beauty Of the
opal much has been done TO rid the

history Of the opal shows that first il

seven hundred years, when, as the le-

TRANSPORTATION NOVELTY
WILL BE GIVEN TEST
Automatic Delivery System Will
Be Installed in Michigan

There is soon TO be installed in the
state of Michigan an entirely new sys-
tenn of freight and mail transportation,
which is especially designed for rural
business, says the Philadelphia Record.
BY its use great number of patrons
are served automatically, mail matter
and packages of reasonable size coming
70 some convenient station and being
deposited there to await the pleasure
of the owners. 1t is OF sufficient ca
pacity TO permit the farmer to send a
great deal Of his produce to market in
this manner and to receive in return
supplies purchased ate distant points.
Light metal poles support double
steel track, which is from u to 20 feet
above the ground except at the sta
tions. where ii is depressed and en-
tirely accessible.
These routes radiate from a central
dispatching station in loops, and the
mail parcels for each farmer on that
line are arranged in boxes and at
tached to the carrier in the order IN
which the residences are located. Be
tween stations the carriers are de-
signed to operate at a speed of about
25 miles an hour. but upon approaching
station the carrier automatically
slackens speed, deposits the mail in
box. locks it. picks up the outgoing
mail, rings bell in the house to notify
the occupants that the mail has been
delivered and goes on its way with an
almost instant acceleration.
There is practically no danger of had
weather blocking the line, as the power
is transmitted to the car through an
inverted V shaped groove that is amply
protected from the elements. The rails
can also be used TO furnish telepI one
service if desired

KHEDIVE JOINS IN THE
PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA
Strengthens His Political Posi-
ton With the MosIems

The annual Mohammedan pilgrima ge
10 Mecca has been made memora bic this
year by the participation OF the khedive
Of Egypt. Abbas Hilmi is the first of
his family since the great Mehemet Ali
early in the nineteenth century to un-
dertake the journey
The khedive was accompanied by his
mother and his aunt. Princess Nazli.
A large retinue of Egyptian and Turk
ish soldiers attended him, and more
than 500 cameIs were requisitioned. so
that his progress through the Hedjaz
was truly royal, says the New York
Sun. lie recited the prescribed prisons
while walking seven times around the
kaaba kissed the black stone drank
from the sacred waters of Zemzem. the
spring that saved Hagar and Ishmael
from dying of thirst: made the requisite
trips 10 Mount Ararat and paid his
tribute 10 the tomb of the prophet at
Medina. In fact, be performed all the
devotions that entitle him to the rank
Of HAIL Upon his return he suffered
the inconyeniences of the ordinary pill
grim by being detained in quarantine
for FIVE days AT Tebruk.
Although Abbas Hilmi has always
been most scrupuious in his observance
Of all Mohammedan customs and has
stood high in the faith, this pilgrimage
viii have the political effect of greatly
strengthening its influence in the Mos
lem world The leaders of the faith see
IN this visit the possibility of reforms
in the condition of unrest and disorder
prevailing around the holy places as
important as those brought about by
the khedive's ancestor, Mehemet Ali.
Il was Mehemet Ali who routed the
Wahabys. Moslem fanatics who opposed
pilgrimages and who for many years
made the approach 10 the holy shrincs
uncertain and perilous. The present un-
settled conditions in Mecca are due to a
great extent TO the political rivalry Of
factions and 10 the extortionate de-
mands made upon the pilgrims. AT Me-
dina the situation has been complf-
Gated by practically a civil war be-
tween the historic factions OF Ibn
Rashid and Ibn Saud. the Arabian Mon
tagues and Capulets.

plan they did not know where to Sc
cure coin from which the cast would
be made. Prof. William -Dallam Armes

collection lent a coin of the time of
Nero and more than 1900 years old.
Copies of the coin were made show
