No 8=HOur DaY
on This Job

Beginning at 8 o'clock Tuesday
morning and working straight
through "a hours, (no 8 hour day
on this job) to a. m. Wednesday,
J. W. Trigg of Hartford with his
auto truck was able to load out
two cars of apples from the H. w.
Lemcke and L. e. Bishop orchards,
that had been sold to the j. M.
Perry company of North Yakima.
There were 1916 boxes in the two
cars. They were billed to St..
Paul.
Things have changed since Dad
was boy. Time was when the
only way to get fruit to the station
was by team and wagon and when
the ranch was any distance at all
from the shipping point, Git was
about two miles in this case) the
task was laborious one. Not on
ly that, but the pneumatic tire and
heavy springs on the auto relieve
the fruit from the jolts of a rough
road, and the fruit reaches it's des-
tination in far better condition.
Much of the frnit at Hanford and
considerably more than the two
cars Of White Bluffs fruit men
toned was hauled to the station
by auto truck this year.

POST OFFICE READY ;
FOR CHRISTMAS RUSH

In anticipation of the largest
parcel post business it has ever
handled, during the Christmas hol-
idays, the Postofflce department is
making. and has been making for
some time, every effort to see that
the packages are handled, if posi-
BILE, more efficiently than ever be-
fore. If everyone will see to it
that each package sent is wrapped
and tied securely, and mailed in
time to reach it's destination before
Christmas, there is little doubt that
the handling by the postal service
will be all that could be desired.

TO KEEP CIDER SWEET

The Spokesman has received a
number of inquiries for some meth
of keeping apple cider sweet. The
following simple recipe was fur
nished by Mrs. L. Boutin:
"Put one half pound of whole
white mustard seed into so gallons
Of newly made cider, seal the con-
tainer SO the air can not get to the
cider and it will keep sweet indef-
initely."
Mrs. Boutin says she knows this
treatment is good for she has seen
her father use it many times.

Miss Dora Helsom has received
her appointment for the newly es-

Bluffs. AS soon as she files her
oath and bond with the depart
ment her commission will be issued
and the necessary supplies for the

is undecided now where she will

probably locate it in the Priebe

About a dozen White Buffers
last Saturday night hied themselves
up to the Diamond I'D" ranch at
Priest Rapids, where a big dance
was given in the loft of the big
barn. Arthur Phelps went up on
the railroad speeder and the rest Of
the crowd went in Bob Reyers'
school bus. The night was dark,
the weather cold, the distance long
and the road rough, but those who
went said they would rather have
walked than to have missed the
good time thsy all had. The New
bys furnished the music and Mr.
and Mrs. Everett Dam in the role
of host and hostess were all the tt
tie implies. 81 wish they would
have another dance there pretty
soon," is tie general verdict OF
those who attended.
Charlie Rennie, a sheep man who
has been wintering in this valley
for the last three or four years,
came in last Friday and while here
purchased 100 tons of alfalfa hay
from George Chambers, G.. r. John.
son and D. j. Boag, paying $12
per ton IN the stack. With winter
setting in so early, eliminating tht
possibility of any pasture, it il
more than probable that $12 in thu
stack will from now on be the low
water mark for this seasons cut
ting. Some hay has been sold fo1
$40, some for $l1 and some fol
S11.50. But with snow on tn,
ground to a depth of 6 inches Of
more in some places, causing st0cl
men to begin feeding from /;
month to six weeks sooner than il
ordinary years, there seems con
siderable justification for the be
lief that from now on, prices fo
hay will be good.

 "The eigbt-hour law is not one of the revenue bills, and it is the duty of the district attorneys to enforce the penal provisions of it exactly as it euforces the penal provisions agains, murder. robbery, theft, or any other penal law of the territory.
 "You further inquire as to who can make the complaint for a violation of the eight-hour law, whether it must be one who has been injured by it or otherwise. Anyone can make the complaint, whether injured by it or not. or the grand jury may indict the same as in any other violation of a penal law. The complainant need not be one who has been injured by it.
 You further ask as to whether or not the wordggman can be prescott ed for a violation of it, Section of Chapter 29 of the Session Laws of 1913 reads in part as follows:
