later entered the navy and distinguished
himself as one of the crack gunners Of
the navy. His remarkable scores with
the big guns are still the talk of the
navy although Percy now bosses a bat

Yesterdays news dispatch that the
United States would establish protec-
torate over the turbulent little republic
Of Haiti indicates that the reign of
bloodshed caused by the recent revolu-
ton is over and that the work of the
American naval officers will soon be
over and they will be allowed to turn
their attention to other affairs. This
recalls the fact that the first Amer
lean naval officer to arrive on the scene
at the beginning of the last political
upheavel was Commander Percy Ohm
stead, of the gunboat Nashville, who
after a brilliant naval career has be-
come one of the most trusted and de-
pendable officers in the U. S. navy and
was given full charge of affairs upon
his arrival at Cape Haitien'. Commander
Olmstead and H. II. Corey, secretary of
the public service commission of this
state, embarked upon their naval
careers together in Canyon City up in
Grant county, away back in-well Mr..
Corey says himself, that it was long
time ago.
So long ago, in fact, that their uni
forms of blue were of the same blue
that overalls are made of and the only
brass buttons were those that fastened
up their suspenders and in case one of
the officers was shy button he went
into the engagement with his pants fast
ened on with handy shingle nail. Bare

battles which were wuged in the irriga-
tion bitches about Canyon City where
Mr.. Corey and Commander Olmstead
were born and grew up together much
the same as other boys who afterward
become presidents or chauffeurs or ice
men. The irrigation bitches of Grant
county, however, afforded endless
amusement for the growing youth with
a taste for action as all boys have.
According to Mr.. Corey's best recol-
lection the bitches were from four to
six feet across and averaged about two
feet in depth but to the youthful admir-
ais they became boundless oceans with
foaming pillows and fraught with my
riads of dangers. No shingle, sharpened
at one end and with a sheet of paper
for sail, would satisfy these young
sters but real ships were constructed
out of blocks of wood with real guns
which belched brOadsides of real shells
at the enemy. The guns were made of
brass shot gun shells, mounted by driv-
ing out the cap with nail and then

Governor Sets Aside
Week Beginning Monday
Aug. 80 As Peach Week"

At the suggestion of peach rasers
and peach sellers throughout the state,
who point out that the peach market IS,
or will be, glutted, and that co,opera-
ton on the part of purchasers will have
a beneficial effect upon all concerned
Governor Withycombe has issued the
following proclamation declaring the
week of August 30 as Northwest
Peach Week" 1t is understood Gov
ernor Lister Of Washington has IS
sued similar proclamation.
"Whereas, 1t appears that the states
of the Pacific Northwest have this year
been blessed with an especially bounti-
full crop of peaches; and,
Whereas, 1t is fitting for the citi-
zens of Oregon and its neighboring
states to cooperate so far as they may
in encouraging the production and
utilization of this delicious fruit;
"'Therefore, I hereby declare the
week of Monday. August 80, as North
west Peach Week, and urge that Ore,
gon households and hostelries give pref
erence and prominence to our native
peaches so far as may be possible, to
the end that the profitable development
of the Northwest peach industry may be
encouraged. "
