The unusually cold wave that
has prevailed over the whole north
west for the past week has been,
in comparison, very kind to this
valley. Although it has been cold
and disagreeable. there has been
little or no damage by frost re-
ported. The Yakima valley was
exceptionally hard hit, the most re-
liable estimates placing the apple
loss at 80 per cent and the pear
at 60 per cent. Nearly all the
other districts in the northwest
were touched up more or less with
the result that this loss, added to
what was winter killed, will make
the fruit crop in the four north
west states fall considerably be-
low expectations.

Mothers Day will be observed
at the Presbyterian Church of
White Bluffs next Sabbath morning
at IL o'clock, in honor of mother
hood. All mothers are cordially
invited to attend, and be sure to
bring your husbands and children.

every church member help to make
others feel at home by extending
hearty invitation to the services.
An opportunity will be given for
parents to bring their children for

You're acquainted with the proven

Just as much as boy hates the bath

They are Matched in an elaborate nest

are able to walk and run as soon as
they are out OF their shells. but they
can't swim.
So the mother swan takes them for a
little ferry ride. She puts them on her
back and starts out across the pond
The baby swans, frightened at first,
soon get used to seeing water all
around them.

STEEL DEMAND
 HERE GREATEST
 IN CITY HISTORY
Metal Piles Up At Long Island Docks Awaiting
 Shipment to Bridgeport.

Vast quantities of structural and in dustriaI steel are piled high on the docks and shores of Port Jefferson, N. Y. In fact the shore front at the Long Island port is said to resemble huge steel works storage yard.
 Captain TOoker. commander of the Park City, is making daily trips with quantities of the heavy material, which carries the little steamer far down on it's water-1ine. He said today that it will take several weeks before the quantity of steel now piling up at Port Jefferson for delivery in Bridge port can be moved.
 Some of the steel bars awaiting transhipment weigh between a ton and vision is made by the city for the Hghterage of such shipments by crane and it is likely that special equipment will have to be installed at Bridgeport by local nanufac cturers for removal from the boat of the heavy cargoes.'
 Elmer $. Havens of the firm of Hunter & Ravens said today that the demand for steel in this city super seded any previous records by many thousands of tons. The freight en- bargOes have seriously affected local industries and every conceivable de- vice has been resorted to- that steel might be supplied here. Some of the steel now arriving by way of the Park City has been under order since last October and is especially tested for tensile and other strengths. Nearly $2,00O,00O worth of steel is being used in this city monthly, according to estimates of steel dealers. /

INFLUX OF BRITISH DOUBLES
 TRAFFIC AT THE DOCKS AND {

signs are seen everywhere alongside the French, for Tommy Atkins is slow in learning the language.
 One of the most conspicuous things one sees ip the Rue de Paris, the prin- cipal street in the town, is British Bar'' in big, brave NBritish red on the window of a saloon. A little further on sign points the yay to the Brit ish Soldiers, Club" Another sign post directs men to the British Officers Club" while there are tea rooms ev- erywhere and restaurants the conspic- uously advertise Ham and Eggs t'The right shop, for British Come in and demand for all the things which you want,' Football boots,'' are arnong some of the appeals to the sol diers.
 British transports have the right-of- way over all other ships in the harbor and at the docks, and the British pre- vail everywhere on shore Some peo- pie at Havre have inquired whether the British occupation is going to last f~-ever, an inquiry inspired by the seemingly permanent character of the installations for the different services of the British army and for the Brit ish troops Most people at Havre will be glad if it does, because they are getting rich-all, excepting the fisher men, The herring catch has dimin- ished 50 per cent. while all the other
 
 Havre is under naval instead of mil itary rule, despite the occupation by the British army. Khaki is the pre- vailing color, but the French Admiral, Biard, is the king of Havre and Tom my Atkins must submit to his au- thorfty. He must quit the saloon at o'clock and must not be found in a. restaurant after 10. Patrols look for him through all the narrow ways and by-ways and in the corners of the docks, and nick him up sharply if found after hours where he should not be.
 As to the civilian, he looks in vain for any sort of consideration in Havre: those that live there content them selves In taking British money in ex- change for the best rooms, best apart ments and best tables in the res taurants. The civilian from abroad gets in with so much difficulty. he feels as if he had broken in and all most insensibly tries to sneak out; this too is difficult, for the man from Scotland Yard considers every civilian guilty of spying until he has proven his innocence; if he happens to speak ng1tsh. the presumption axaInst him ss se much the stronger.
