PROGRESSIVE REVOLT
BY SEATTLE LEADERS
County Committees in Both
Parties Set Aside and Control
Taken in Hand

SEATTLE, April 13.-Roosevelt and
and La Toilette members of the re-
publican county central committee
combined today and took possession
of the county committee meeting, re-
moved the executive committee which
was accused of planning to send a
hand picked" delegation to the state
convention at Aberdeen and adopted
resolution indorsing Roosevelt and
La Toilette. 1t was decided to Sc
lect delegates to a state convention
by a direct primary.
The democratic county central
committee met today and removed the
democratic county executive commit
tee which had appointed one hundred
fifty delegates to the democratic state
convention at Walla Walla, and re-
voked the credentials of these dele
gates. The Woodrow Wilson men had
an overwhelming majority in the
county committee meeting. Repre-
sentatives of the democratic and re-
publican county committees subse-
quently agreed to hold joint pri-
maries.

OREGON HOP ACREAGE
GREATLY INCREASED
Salem Report Says That Ten
Thousand Acres Have Been
Planted There This Year

report has reached North Yakima
from Salem, Ore. to the effect that
the hop acreage in that state will be
increased 10000 acres this year be-
cause of the new paintings. 1t is the
opinion here that the statement is n
heavy eXaggeration, S the material,
roots. poles, etc, for such an acreage
would be difficult to get together.
Speaking of the new paintings.
Salem dispatch says
This increase, 1t is asserted. is the
result of the high prices secured for
hops last season. A few are contend
ing that the increased area will bring
about a reduction in price in the mar
ket, but the ma jority of the hop men
smile when this contention is adj
vanced. Among those increasing their
acreage is A. NJ. Jerman, who will in
crease his yards by 90 acres. The
Livesley yard is to be increased by 100
acres, and the increase in smaller
yards range from 10 to so ACRES each
The outlook so far according to hop
men, for a crop is splendid.

Many Visitors Coming

Progress and Prosperity is the
slogan which will bring a very large
number of people to North Yakima
April 10 and 20, according to reports
which have reached General Agent
Burdick of the Northern Pacific rail-
way. Notification to him from head
quarters is to the effect that SPECIAL
cars have already been arranged for
to come from Seattle. Spokane and
Tacoma, and it Is probable that more
will follow. 1t is altogether probable
also from the manner in which the
movement is growing that there will
be more than one car from each city.

WOULD FORM LEAGUE
TO BOOST Open RIVER
Prominent Men of Three States
Will Meet in Convention
at Pasco Monday

PASCO, Wash, April 13,--With
delegations promised from every COM
mercial club in the Inland Empire
and a program which includes promi-
nent men from three states, indica-
tions are the Open River rally which
will be held in Pasco, Monday, April
Is, under the auspices of the cham
Der of commerce will result in the
formation of a permanent league to
arouse concerted efforts among the
commercial organizations of the In
land Empire and Columbia and; Snake
basins that pressure may be brought
to bear upon congress to make APP
preparations sufficient to open the
Columbia and Snake rivers to naviga-
ton before the completion of the
Panama canal.
The Open River rally was suggested
by Prof. w. d. Lyman of Walla Walla,
director for the state of Washington
of the National Rivers and Harbors
congress. The Pasco chamber of
commerce heartily endorsed the sug
gestion and at once began making
plans to insure the success of the
meeting. Such hearty responses were
received that Pasco is now preparing
to welcome several hundred delegates,
the biggest gathering in the history of
the city.
At the present time the appropria-
tons granted by congress will not
complete the Cello locks when the
Panama canal is finished and affords
the ocean traffic a short cut to the
Pacific. The appropriations for dredg-
ing the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers are also insufficient to main
tain channel deep enough to &C
comodate the traffic that should re-
suit from the opening of the Panama
canal. The purpose of the Open
River rally is to arouse sentiment that
concerted pressure may be brought to
bear upon congress to open the up
per Columbia and Snake rivers to I'M
interrupted navigation before the
Panama canal is completed.

SOFT FRUIT PROBLEM
CONFRONTS GROWERS
Wenatchee Is Looking Deeply In
to the Markets for Apples
and Peaches

WENATCHEE, April 13.-The soft
fruit problem is one that is again con-
fronting the fruit growers, particular
ly owing to the fact that the prospects
are for an unusually large crop here,
Notwithstanding the fact that during
the past few years thousands of trees
have been pulled out. The margin
between profit and loss is a small one
and naturally those who have peach
trees are beginning to worry over the
outcome. The Wenatchee Valley Fruit
Growers Association management is
already going deeply into the prob
lem of markets not only for apples,
but for peaches. one thing the assoc
citation absolutely demands is that
those who expect to market their
should sign up for their entire crop
of both peaches and apples at once
in order that the organization may
have an intelligent idea of what It
Will be up against this fall
Yakima Also Gets In
Not only Wenatchee but Yakima
also will have thousands of carloads
OF peaches unless they are caught by
the frosts this month, numb Of
local growers had experience last year
which indicated that every carload OF
peaches shipped from here to the
Eastern markets should be preceded.
The cost for this is but nominal one

shipped carload of peaches into
