HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS
Urging all Pacific Coast cities

Urging all Pacific Coast cities to
improve their harbor facilities so as
to be ready for the increased amount
of shipping that will follow the
opening of the Panama canal, John
Barrett, director general Of the Pan
anna American Union, has been adj
dressing all the leading commercial
bodies of this coast. Mr.. Barrett
contends that the entire West will
feel a wonderful development stimu-
lus when the canal is put into oper-
alton. His fears are that the west
ern seaports will not be prepared to
handle the increased commerce sat-
isfactorily. However, it is CRAFTY
ing to note that Los Angeles, San
Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Sc.
attic and Kennewick-are all busy
with harbor improvements.

ton and other great issues of vital
Importance to this Coast, can all be
removed if the proper steps are
taken. And now comes Secretary
OF Interior Fisher to look us over

said he really wanted to learn the
truth about the Western situation.

The Washington State Sheriffs'
Association recently took hard rap
at Gov. M. f. Hay, charging him
with parsimoniousness, in the en-
forcement of criminal laws, requir-
ing the expenditure of state funds.
1t was declared that the Governor
in an effort to make financial
showing has failed to run down a
lot of felons, whose capture would
have been easy by the expenditure
of little money. Sheriff Robt. T.
Hodge, of King County, a prospec-
tive candidate against Gov. Hay,
regretted the fact that criminals are
not tracked with the same persist
ency on this side of the line as in
Canada.

OUR FRUIT INSPECTOR
In F. f. DeSellem, horticultu

In F. f. DeSellem, horticultural
inspector for this section of the
state, we have a man who is bugs
on his job. He thinks and talks
bugs-knows 'em so we'll that he
calls all of 'em by their first names.
He is one man the county employs
who is with and on his job every
minute of the day-and, Judging
from the way he took up things in
the Kennewick valley before he was
transplanted to County Seat Prosser,
he even dreams of new ways to in
duce the orchard pests tonot poster
the struggling orchardist.
When Mr.. DeSellem was in the
Kennewick valley he raised chick
ems, and those chickens were the
finest to be raised-he knew chick
ems. In his latest job it's his bust
ness to know bugs-an1 he knows
them-can tell all their habits from
pupahood up to hardy old age.
But bugs and their habits are not
all that the horticultural inspector
knows-he is always right there
when it comes to the inspecting
part of his job. That the inspect
ing is done thoroly, in spite OF
protests, goes without saying. The
farmers can and do depend upon
Mr.. DeSellem, and the time is yet
to be when their faith is misplaced
We know the county will be the
better for the appointment of this
man.

Washington fruits are beginning
to move. From many Of the dis
tricts come reports of important
sales. Wenatchee is said to be
crowded with more buyers than ever
before. It is encouraging to the
growers that many of the sales are
for cash, eliminating consignment
deals, as result of which the pro-
ducers lost heavily in the past. The
sales now are mostly intended for
the Eastern markets. Inquiries
from European buyers are active.
Within the next sixty days, Wash

between SIS, 100000 and s2O,OOO,-
