Pine Bluff has acquired another factory, attracting th;s one from Fouston Texas. This IS going some, as anyone who knows Houston must confess. This proves again there nothing the matter with Pine Bluff: that all that's needed is for the people to work together to make known the city's advantages and cooperate in erecting new smokestacks.

PRIEST RAPIDS POWER
FOR A NITRATE PLANT
CheIan County Marble May Be Used in
Making NitrateS and Fertilizer

From a confidential source this paper
learns that Priest Rapids is almost GER
tain TO be selected as the site for de-
veloping electric energy for the gov
eminent plant to be erected on the
Pacific coast to manufacture nitrate
and fertilizer, in which event Chelan
county limestone will come into use.
There is no other site on the east side
Of the Cascades that offers the advan-
tages for developing electric power that
lies dormant in Priest Rapids on the
Columbia river. Neither Oregon or
California has anything to offer the
government. There is no other body
Of limestone on the Pacific coast that
equals in extent or purity the Chicamin
creek limestone deposit All this
means more when it is understood that
some seven million dollars is to be ex-
pended in building the plant and that
it will be in operation as long as the
Uuited States maintains its integrity.

in shape to receive fruit as it comes in.
These two gentlemen are we'll known
and are both experienced in the apple
busines. They expect to handle $50

house this season.
Everybody is busy in the valley as
the apple harvest is nearly here. The
weather has been ideal for apples and
during the past week much change
has been added to the color and size.
Men are not plentiful in the valley
but it is thought there will be plenty
of help TO take care OF the large harvest
which is about to start. Owing to the
condition in the valley wages are ex-
pected to be higher than usual.

SiIage for Dairy Cows

AS a means Of furnishing succulence
to dairy COWS, silage is probably the
best Of anything that we have. 1t can
be used all the year around with splen-
did results. The following are some of
the reasons why dairy men use silage
rather thar furnishing succulence in
other ways:
Cd The crop is harvested at much
less cost than when a little is cut and
hauled from the field daily, as in the
case Of a soiling crop.
(2) The crop can be harvested
just when it will make the most and
best feed.
(3) There is no danger of injuring
the land while harvesting the crop be-
cause this is done when the ground is
hard.
"a It prevents the waste OF any
coarse stems, or stalks, that may not
be consumed if fed in another form.
(5) 1t provides a feed that is very
convenient to handle in any kind of
weather.
Silage is now being successfully made
in this state from any OF the following
crops: Corn, clover. oats and vetch,
oats and peas, wheat. barley, barley
and peas, barley and vetch. corn and
clover, and clover and rye grass. Corn
is the most popular in many districts
because Of the high quality Of silage it
makes. In sections where corn can
not be grown successfully, any Of the
other crops mentioned are recon-
mended. "A. B. Nystrom, dairy divis-
ion, State College Of Washington.

.S75,OOO WORTH OF LAMBS
GOING TO CHICAGO MARKET
Ten Thousand Lambs Will Be Loaded at
Chiwaukum Sept. 15th-$7.5O per
Head, Highest Price Ever Paid

From VIM. Churchill, veteran flock
master who has grazed sheep in the
Wenatchee national forest for many
years, we got the interesting story that
on Sept. IS the biggest shipment oi
lambs ever made from this state will
leave here over the Great Northern.
What is still more interesting is the
fact that the price paid for the lambs is
the highest ever known, $3.50 per
head. Seventy-6ve thousand dollars
will be involved in the shipment.
VIM. Churchill will contribute 1000
head to the shipment; Mrs. Vessey,
$500; Mr.. o. Yeats, 1000; Ed. Mudd,
$500; and Mr.. St. Clair, 1000, or
ten thousand in the whole deal. All
the sheep will be assembled at Chi
waukum, ten miles west of Leavenworth,
and started for Chicago from that point.
Mr.. Churchill will load at Tye and ship
to Chiwaukum by rail. All the other
flockmasters will drive their lambs to
the loading point from their respective
range allotments in the Wenatchee
national forest, which is practically the
entire western part of Chelan county.

FEDERAL FARM LOAN
BANK FOR SPOKANE
J. B. Adams Appeared Before the Fed
eraI Board at the Spokane
Meeting Monday

The Federal Farm Loan Board, com
posed Of G. w. Norris, Herbert Quick,
Chas. E. Lobdel and w. S. A. Smith,
met in Spokane Monday for the pur
pose OF taking testimony as to condi-
tions in the northwest, the value OF
lands, the grouping of states in districts
and the most desirable location for a
district bank. Representatives from
every industry and interest in Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana were
present and the interest was strong and
gripping. From the testimony it ap-
pears that the four states named above
would form the most compact and
logical district, tho Wyoming and Cali
fornia were mentioned under another
grouping, but did not meet with favor
from the greater number OF those
present. Spokane was favored by rep
resentatives from Idaho and Montana
as the most centrally located and ac-
cessible. Portland, Oregon is also a
candidate for the farm bank location.
Seattle representatives favored Spokane,
and it is thot propable that she will
land the plum.
Farmers, fruitgrowers, bankers, finan-
ciers, college presidents, indeed every
interest was represented and the hearing
covered wide range Of subjects and
industries. Chelan, Douglas. Grant
and Okanogan counties we're represent
ed. On invitation Of the Spokane
Chamber OF Commerce, Mr.. ]. B.
Adams, president and general manager
of the Skookum Packers Association
was present and testified in. regard TO
fruit land valuations in the northwest
and the general condition and wants
of the fruitgrowers. His testimony was
regarded as interesting and valuable to
the board in the solution of the ques-
tions under consideration. A meeting
Of the Skookum Applegrowers Associa-
ton called for Monday was adjourned
TO later date in order to make it pos
sble for Mr.. Adams to be present at
the Farm Loan Bank hearing.

The FChO's Last Word on the
IudgShip

Some men strain at gnat and swal-
low camel at gulp. Just watch
some of those who oppose Judge Grim
shaw for reelection on the ground
that he has held the Office eight years.
Did you ever hear one OF them COM
plain at the law under which all federal
judges are appointed for life2 Do
they oppose c. w. Clawson, republi-
candidate for state auditor, who has
served twelve years and is asking the
people to give him four years more Of
tenure? He has made a most excel
lent officer. He is capable; he is hon
est, and that is OF more importance
than anything else. =
The argument used by some OF those
opposed to Judge Grimshaw that he
has held his office two terms, and that
is long enough, is unsound. Suppose
there was only one man opposed to
him and he was notoriously unfit, then
according TO the reasoning OF these
sophistical gentlemen the notoriously
unfit should be supported by the vot-
ers because the fit man has held the
Office long enough, and a change
ought to be made.
Then. again, to reply to those who
urge that change is necessary on the
ground that bad feeling has grown out
Of the judgship fight. Is Judge Grim
shaw to be made the victim OF some
thing with which he had nothing to do.
Did he assail any OF the lawyers? Has
he urged the unfitness OF any one op-
posed to him? Has he said or done
anything from which one would con-
clude he harbored any i'll feeling against
his most strenuous and bitter opponent7
Three most excellent citizens, over a
signed statement urge Mr.. Grimshaw
to return to the practice of law because
those who have so strenuously opposed
him could not practice law in his court.
By the same token we ask these gen.
tlemen how could Mr.. Grimshaw be
expected to practice law successfully
before a judge who is now opposing
him for reelection If the argument
is sound it should apply to each with
equal force. The crux of the whole
judicial question may be summed up
in few words. Is Judge Grimshaw
honest7 Is he impartial in his rulings2
Is he capable2 Answer either Of these
questions in the negative and you are
on logical ground in your opposition.
Unsound, illogical argument does not
appeal to fairminded men and will not
defeat his reelection.
