White Bluffs family, Mrs. L. E.
Bishop having received word from
her son. Ray Powers. that he had
enlisted with the Canadian provin-
cial army and would be off to the
trenches as soop as his regiment

He has enlisted with the 9th
Canadian volunteers, q regiment
made up entirely Of American cit
izens and to be known as the

Powers wrote his mother that he
expected to have a furlough to pay
her visit, but recent dispatch
states that the British Columbia
contingent had already been taken
to Toronto to JOIN the regiment.
1t is presumed they will cross
the ocean early in the spring.

Commission to Reduce Power Rate

tion will be discussed. The power
company has offered a fiat rate ir
lieu of the ell limitation Of the M. &
/. charge. In case rate is arrived
at that is agreeable to both parties
the commission has announced il
will make that it's order. Other.
wise it will enter the order elimin.

The Power company objects to
the elimination of the M. & I.
because in districts like Walla
Walla, where the users consu me
little juice in comparison with the
Columbia River valley the M. &

monthly bills and its being cut
off would therefore cost the pow

If fiat rate can be agreed
upon, the company will dismiss
the appeal SO far as the irrigation

Pay Your Assessment

tributions to the fund being raised
to cover the cost Of the Public Ser
vice hearing and other items of ex-
pense in the Hanford water litiya-
tion, are coming in pretty good
from the outside, but that very few
local people have paid their assess
ments. This apparent neglect on
the part of the home guard is due
no doubt, to the unusual weather
conditions that have prevailed for
the past two weeks. This matter
should be attended to. however.
at once by every one so that the
obligations incurred by the COM

owners in the valley, and the pro-
portionate expense to each is cer-
tainly small.

Soft Fruit Killed

District Horticulturalist Powell
reports that 80 to 80 per cent of
the peaches and apricots are killed
in this county, and suggests to the
growers that they do little or no
pruning on these trees until after
they have bloomed or until they
can ascertain just how many are
killed or not killed. On some
twigs we will find all the buds ex-
cepI one or two are killed. Every
peach and apricot that we can save
and grow this year will be worth
good money, and for that reason
we should not be too hasty in do
ing our pruning until we are abso-
lutely sure we are not cutting off
any fruit that will be worth good
money next summer.
