YAKIMA MAKES A
PROTEST
Says Report of Scaly Fruit
is Inspired From the
Wenatchee Country.

North Yakima, July 18.-Yakima
fruit growers and shippers protest
against the statement published in
a Seattle paper that the commission
houses there are receiving scaly and
wormy fruit from this district. The
fruit is especially clean this year,
they say. the ranchers having put
up a plucky. and so far successful,
fight against the cooling moth.
While some scale has been found on
fruit offered, as is inevitable, in no
case, they say, has such fruit been
accepted by the shippers.
1T is the same old story" said
Lloyd Garretson of the Pacific Pro-
duce company. "Wenatchee and Sc
attic are combining against Yakima.
Wenatchee ships very largely into
the Seattle market and buys her
supplies there. Every year there is
an attempt to knock Yakima fruit
to their greater gain"

Intercommunicating and general
telephones provide a complete tele-

On the first floor there will be the
lobby, dining rooms and kitchens
for the hotel; and barber shops and
stores for rental by the building
company.
The corner store is designed for
a local bank. Back of it is the big
hotel dining room, wide and long,
capable of seating more than the ca
pacity of the hotel.
The second and third floors are
to be alike, except that the second
floor is to have a hanging garden
facing Wenatchee avenue, where
guests may find the tranquility that
bustling lobby lacks.

YAKIMA GREATLY
AROUSED
Vast Industry Threatened
Continued from Page ID

1T is a big business that is
threatened. We have 10000 pear
trees in this valley-1500 acres. A
normal pear orchard produces 600
or 700 boxes of pears to the acre
and We are buying pears today at
S1.25 box 1t costs 40 cents a
box to pick and pack them. The
blight affects apples, also, of which
we have $4,000 to 10000 acres.
Il don't think the business men
would object to money being taken
from the general fund to provide for
this inspection, but there is no rea-
son why the tax should not be on
the fruit men, just as taxes are lev
led on fish traps for the benefit Of
the fishermen and on coyotes for the
benefit of the sheepmen.

EXTRA SESSION IN
TEXAS
Called for Purpose of Re
pealing Fire Insurance
Rating Law.

AUSTIN, IeXaS, July 19.-In &C
cordance with a proclamation issued
by Governor T. M. Campbell, the
legislature of Texas convened in
special session today and was called
to order at two o'clock this after
noon. The specific purpose of the
session as named in the call is to
repeal the fire insurance rating
board law and to enact such other
legislation as Will prevent a combi-
nation or trust of fire insurance
companies doing business in Texas.
Since the call for the session was
issued the State Fire Rating Board
has given decision to the effect
that the fire insurance rates are
unreasonably high and has ordered
sweeping reductions. The insurance
companies are preparing to make a
strong fight to prevent any general
reduction in the present rates, de-
spite the assertion of the business
are excessive beyond all reason.
But while the repeal of the OBJ
noxious fire rating board law is
named as the specific purpose of
the session, belief prevails that
other and deeper reasons exist for
the Governors action in calling the
session at this time. The political
opponents of Gov. Campbell have
not hesltated to declare that poll
tics furnished the real motive for
his action in calling the legislature
together. In support of their dec
laration they point to the fact that
the Governor concluded his call with
the statement that he would submit
such other matters of legislation as
he might deem proper during the
session.
At the present time the state of
Texas from end to end is in a tur
moil of political excitement over the
gubernatorial and legislative cam
paign. -Four leading candidates are
engaged in a bitter contest for the
governorship which will be decided
next Saturday when the statewide
primary will be held.
The prohibition question figures
as the leading and almost the sole
issue of the gubernatorlal campaign.
In this connection it is charged by
the anti-prohibition leaders that
Governor Campbell's real object in
converting the legislature IN extra
session is to forestall the possible
primary nomination of o. B. Col
quit, the candidate of the anti-prO |
hibltion faction for governor, by
recommending and bringing about |
the enactment of restrictive legisla- |
ton that will practically put the sa-
looms out of business in Texas.
On the other hand, those opposed |
to this view of the situation say that
such a plan has little chance Of sue
cess even if the Governor had it in
mind when he issued the call. 1t is |
pointed out that little or nothing is |
apt to be accomplished by the legis-
lature in the three days that will
elapse before the primary is held
In fact, it is regarded as extremely |
unlikely if the legislature attempts |
to transact any real business before
the first of next week. AS practi-
cally all of the members will desire
to vote in the primary the most of
the time during the remainder of
this week will be taken up in travel
ing to their respective homes, so
that it will be very difficult to OBJ
tain quorum.

From the PhiladelphiA Press
One Of the prettiest Of the new work
bags is made from two pasteboard hearts
with a pulled bag OF ribbon attached to
the edge.
The hearts are cut about five inches at
their broadest part and are covered in
side and out with plain color Of silk or
satin. The edge OF each heart. outside, is
covered with a narrow double quilting of
the same color.
The bag part is made from two strips
OF Powered ribbon, Joined by a plain col
ored ribbon to match the heart. This
band is first made by joining the edges
with fine overcasting. 1t IS then sewed to
the hearts to make full pulled bag.
The bag does not reach all the way
round the heart, but a wide opening is
left at the top and the bag drawn close
with narrow ribbons, run through small
rings to work like pulleys.
At one corner OF the outer heart up
near the top is placed rosette OF ribbon
to match the hangers, which are sewed to
