yet been completed, but the topics for
discussion are: the labor problem,
transportation, better marketing, inn
proving community packing houses,
air cooled storage plants, gathering
fruit for flavor and color, combating
the insects, best sprays to use, better
pruning, better fruit, abuses of wa
ter, benefits Of cover crop, pollena-
ton Of sweet cherries and Tragedy
prunes, irresponsible grower VS.. ir-,
Irresponsible commission merchant,
magnitude Of the fruit growing indus
try of the state Of Washington, illus
Itrated lecture on potato diseases, coll
onization, Australia VS.. America.
Mr.. Powell estimates that fully 200
prominent growers Of the state will
be in attendance in addition to those
who will come from nearby points.
Entertainment of the visitors will be
under the direction of joint commit
ltee from the Commercial, the High
land and the Valley clubs. H. w. Des-
: oranges and Lee M! Lampson have
been named by the Commercial club
E. o. Keene by the Highland club, and
the Valley club representative has no'
yet been named.

Y named to look after the differen

Middle West

The Horn Rapids Irrigation COM
pany, within the last month has sold
more than 1000 acres Of irrigated
lands near Richland, the sales being
handled thru the Daniel Hays COM
pany, of Rock Island, Illinois. This
company, which operates in many
states, q few months ago sold prac-
tically all of the unimproved land un-
der the Burbank project. Since that
time they have been handling the
sales business for the Horn Rapids
company.
Harry L. Wildenberg, advertising
manager of the company, who was il
the city this morning. said that hi
company had only started to operat'
in. this section. 1t is their intention
to run excursions from the middl
west twice each month until all o
the lands in the Richland project hav
been sold.
Their second excursion arrived her
Friday. There were "a people fror
the states Of Illinois, Wisconsin, low
and Kansas. Purchases made by tn
visitors total 997 acres Of unimprove
land, the largest individual purchase
being Julius Kohl, mayor of Libert,
. Iowa, who purchased 200 acres. Wit
hardly an exception, Mr.. Wildenber
says, the purchasers intend to NAL

PATERSON OFFICE
LEADS THE COUNTY
Little Office Down the River
Makes a Record in Sale of
War Stamps

Postmaster Averill Beavers reports
that Paterson is the banner postoffice
of the county in the sale of War Saw
ing stamps-
All Of the postofices in the county,
with the exception of Prosser receive
their supply of stamps from the Ken
newick Office and report their sales
and send their receipts to it. When
Mr.. Beavers distributed the stamps
among the smaller Offices Of the coun-
ty, he sent SIS worth to Paterson,
thinking that would "hold them for a
while.n But he didn't know Post
master H. z. Fisher and the people OF
Paterson. Mr.. Fisher Immediately
came back with requisition for $7OD
worth of stamps.
Mr.. Beavers then multiplied tho
Paterson office's war stamp credit by
ten and made it $1,000 instead Of 500.
To date there has been received from
the little postofhce s1077.32, which is
the high record for any Office in the
lcounty, big or little.
Mr.. Fisher writes that the war
stamps are the easiest thing he ever
tried to sell. The people all want
them because it is the best savings
plan that has ever been presented to
them and because they want to DO ev.
erything they can TO help win the war

REGISTRATION NOT
NECESSARY TO VOTE
All Land Owners Who Reside in
State of Washington Can
Vote December 26

A question being frequently asked
is, who will be entitled to vote at the
Columbia Irrigation district election,
December 26? The law provides that
any resident of the state of WASH
ington who owns land within the linn
its of the district and who is a quail
flied voter is entitled to vote. Reg
istration is not necessary. Any per-
son holding a contract for deed or a
conditional sale is considered an own
er the same as tho he held warranty
! deed. Both man and wife can vote,
regardless of in whose name title to
the property is written.
This means that the owner of a
town lot is entitled to vote as well as
the owner of farm lands.
For the purpose of fully explaining
the method of voting and the purpose
for which the election is being held,
meeting will be held Thursday eve
ming, December 20 at the Finley hall
at which Attorney NJ. NJ. Moulton- will
explain the proposition in detail and
will answer any question that may be
raised. A similar meeting will be
held the following evening, Friday,
the 21st, at the Commercial club room.
Before voting every land owner
should thoroly understand that the
creation of the district in no way binds
the district to take over the irriga-
Ition system. It merely provides a
means whereby the system can be
taken over if it becomes necessary to
do so to continue successful farming
operations in the valley. 1t is the
same form of organization that the
government requires before it will con
slider the proposition of extending OF
|inaugurating/ any reclamation pro
iects. If the district is created tn
directors can do nothing more thar
to negotiate with the Northern Pa
ciic Irrigation system as to the basl
of taking over the system and to sc
: cure figures from engineers as to tn
= cost of repairing and enlarging tn
. system, and then to submit the resul
= of their Investigations to the voter

AS yet no definite steps have been

menced and it will undoubtedly be
taken up here in the near future.

ALL DOGS MUST
WEAR MUZZLE
State Department of Agricul-
ture Again Places Quaran-
tine on This County

These are perilous times. Not
alone in human affairs, but in the
animal kingdom. Because the coyotes
have gone mad and no longer observe
the established rules Of decent animal
behavior and because dogs show like
tendency they are to be deprived OF
their right of free speech. They are
either to be muzzlcd or interned at
the end of rope in the back yard for
the period of the quarantine which
now exists in the counties of Yakima,
Benton and Kickitat.
Mayor Sherk has announced that
beinning next Monday the quarantine
is to be rigidly enforced SO far as
the city of Kennewick is concerned
No dog will be allowed at large IN
the CITY limits unless he wears a muz'
zle-and a wire one at that. Leather
ones will not do.
The new quarantine order OF tn
state department is dated Novembe
27 and is now in effect, altho it ha
not been enforced locally. Under tn
law it is misdemeanor to permit a
unmuzzled dog to run at large and tn
person so doing is liable to fine o
IMPRISONMENT or both. Everyone J
authorized to kill an unmuzzled do
. wherever found at large and no per
atty is attached. .

The Extinct Billy Goat.

Strange is the march of time. The Billy and Nanny goat were once a dominating feature in every American comnu:ity. A snapshot could not have been taken without goat somewhere in the picture, but the goat was not deemed fit insect to hobnob in swell society. Its product might be admitted across the threshold of the rich, but not it's savory self. The highest stand ard the goat has ever attained is the mascotship of a volunteer fire com pany, or q similar office in the U. s. navy, which was practically the low est rank of any living thing abroad. In his palmy days vivid posters were often seen of him in the act of Jug. gling with glass of fresh book, and now the American Billy goat is doomed to pass down tho line of hns-beens.- Exchange.

REPORTS OF MARKETS COTTON-GRAIN-LIVESTOCK
New York Cotton.

New York, July 3.-The cotton mar ket showed renewed nervousness and irregularity early today. The ten dency to liquidate long contracts was stimulated by private reports of show CTS in the southwest Opened steady at a decline of 10 to Is points Octob- CT contracts sold as low as 24.94 on the call, making decline of 46 points from last night and of over 2 cents a pound from the recent high record. by cvering and later fluctuations were very irregular, with traders evening up for over the holiday to- morrow.
 Additional rain reports from the southwest and continued nervousness over legislative uncertainties led to increased offerings later For time the selling was excited and urgent, and prices broke very rapidly with October selling off to 24.35c, and De- cember to 24.50c or 101 to 105 points under last nights closing. This made decline of 265 points from the re- cent high records on October and there were rallies of 15 to 20 points from the lowest around midday on cover- ing.
 Reports from Washington that southern legislators were strongly op- posing the cotton amendment to the food control bill, probably, stimulated covering after the big early break. October sold up from 24.35c to 25.O0c; December from 24.50c to 25.1Oc, mak- ing rally of about 60 to 65 points from the lowest, An idea that the technical position had improved was also factor, but the market was still nervous and unsettled during the mid- dle afternoon.
 The cotton market closed steady.
