note hard times. On the con-
trary, it often indicates that the
people are saving their money
and getting on better footing,
which in the end will make a
firmer state of business.
MANY merchants in smaller
towns are getting the idea that
they can go together and buy a
car of soft fruits, such as peach
es, pears, grapes, apples, cants,
plums, etc., and sell by advertis-
ing ahead and this they will do
this year on large scale when
the purchasing power of the
farmer is increased. When The
farmer has the money he is the
best buyer in the world. All
merchants will agree that a
prosperous farmer is the best
consumer of fruit in a territory
where fruit is not grown.
"Our Strawberries this year
will go farther east than ever
before and under the present
promising conditions we are
bound to see a good year.
"Kennewick is bound to feel
the effects and prosper under
these conditions. People are
coming to the Fair in large num-
bers. / am asked questions
every day about how they can
be routed so as to see the best
of the West. 1t is needless to
say l tell them all to buy with
stop-over at Kennewick and if
all stop who say they will, the
hotels won't hold them.
"A much closer relation be-
i.
tween the East and the West as
regards bushes, is bound to
come from the water rates.
This is the talk everywhere and
when proudly inform them
that we at Kennewick are on the
water they sit up and take no.
tice. Next year our apples are
bound to go by water, at least a
good share of them for the ear
ly export trade.
81 should say that the people
of Kennewick and surrounding
territory should sit tight on
what they own and play the
game to the end. You'll win"

SANTA HARD ON TREES
Millions of Young Evergreens Cut in
Northwest to Supply Xmas Demand

Forestry officials estimate
that over half a million Christ
mas trees were cut in the states
of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, to supply the people of
that territory with trees for dec
Grafton purposes. This toll ex-
acted for Yuletide joy, brings
alarm to the forest bureaus, who
view the over-increasing demand
on the young trees that spring
forth to replace the depleted for
est kings that have fallen under
the axeman's blows.
Over five million trees have
been cut in the states of Maine,
Vermont, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, the Catskills and the Berk-
shires. In other parts of the
country a similar toll on the for
ests has been made until the to-
tai number of trees cut down
reaches an enormous number.
Every kind of conebearing trees
is used for Christmas occasions,
the particular variety depending
upon the locality. FRS and
spruces are the most popular
with the pines and cedars in sec
ond place.
In the Northwest the trees
sold from Is cents to 81 for the
largest but in New York they
paid from SIS to $50 each for
good trees.

BENTON SETTLERS DENIED
Reclamation Service Does Not Favor
2O-Year Extension in New Project

CONSERVATION is thrown into
the camp of the settlers under
the Benton Extension of the
Sunnyside by a letter from
Comptroller w. A. Ryan of the
reclamation service in which he
doubts apparently the advisibil-
ity of extending the privileges of
the 20-year extension plan to the
settlers under the new district,
says the Yakima Republic. The
letter came as a reply to a petit
ton from the waterusers in the
new district asking that the 20
year extension law be made to
apply to the district.
There was no other thought
when the district was formed
than that the new district would
fall heir to all the extensions
and privileges that the govern
ment has given to the other ir-
rigated projects. The Benton
extension and the Snipes Noun
tain, Grandview and Outlok
pumping plants have all been or
ganized since the new law went
into effect, but under a contract
that left it optional with Secre-
tary Lane to extend the law to
the new districts.
The settlers will not rest on
the decision of the comptroller,
but have taken steps already to
appeal to the secretary. A let
ter was forwarded yesterday to
Secretary Lane reciting the facts
and urging upon him. the vital
necessity of extending the terms
of the Warren act to the new dis
trict.

OPTIMISM PERVADES
EAST SAYS COLLINS
Farmers in Dry Land Sections
are Going to Buy Lots of
Fruit Next Year.

Chas. H. Collins, who has
just completed a trip through
the states of the Middle West is
very hopeful for a good market
ing year in 1915. Writing from
Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mr..
Collins says:
"a marked spirit of optimism
seems to prevail among the mer-
chants, large and small, retail
and wholesale, throughout the
Northwest states at the present
time. This spirit is very gen.
eral throughout wheat growing,
cattle raising, and manufactur-
ing territories in particular, and
is even spreading down to the
southern territories where the
cotton industry is beginning to
show signs of life.
''Prominent business men who
are in position to feel the pulse
of business say 1915 is bound
to be the greatest year the
Northwest has ever -een. The
principal reason for their max
ing these statements is the as
surance of big wheat and meat
prices. In fact all food products
are bound to advance or main
tain their present satisfactory
prices, as the war progress.
This will greatly increase the
purchasing power of the farmers
and those depending on the
farmers throughout the North
west states. refer to the Da-
kotas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Montana, Wyoming. When
these states prosper, we at Ken
newick or any other fruit grow
ing section are bound to feel the
effect in the increased demand
it is bound to make for our ber-
ries and all our fruits for this
coming year. I can say with al!
confidence that a very bright
prospect is in store for our grow
ers and this means prosperity
Tor the whole valley. The states
l have mentioned must consume
a lot of our stuff and theinr mon
ey is going to be forthcoming
for the goods when the delivery
is made.
"The horse and mule buyers
everywhere are cleaning up all
the stock they can get. This
too is going to enliven the stock
industry as nothing can do.
Supply and demand are the
makers of good prices or low
prices and with big demand and
an ever decreasing supply we
can look for a demand that will
return prices quite satisfactory
to the growers. I found that
the merchants throughout the
smaller towns of the Northwest
territory are really in better con-
dition than those of the bigger
cities. The smaller towns are
more directly dependent on the
farmer, and his high priced
wheat and stock has put him on
his feet in good shape this year.
The awakening of business in
the bigger cities has been slower
but continues every day as the
big orders are received Tor the
armies of Europe. With silent
factories being started and those
in operation putting on extra
force to take care of the sudden.
ly increased business, one cam
not but be impressed with future
prospects. Very little unrest
seems to be noticeable at pres.
ent as to the coming election.
A wave of economy has been
sweeping over the consumers of
the east the last few years.
This in a measure explains why
the consumer is slow to use our
box apples at advanced prices.
However, as soon as they are
making money, are getting full
