Lighting Fixtures; Competition
in Design.

The new Office building being built
in the capitol group will be ready for
the departments scheduled to occupy
it before the next session of the legis-
announced Wednesday. The commits
sion approved an extra contract of
$2,298 for a temporary heating plant
for the new building. The Berg
Griggs company Of Tacoma is ex-
pected to have heat in the new build
ing within a week. This emergency
provision was enforced by failure of
eastern companies to deliver the neces-
sary wrought iron pipe needed for
the regular heating system on account
Of labor trouble. AS delivery of the
pipe is indefinite the temporary plant
may be necessary all winter. The
state insurance and other departments
will probably move out Of the old
capitol building in December.

building in the capitol group to be
completed. Bids were also let for

building and the power house. The

BAILEY SAYS TO SPRAY

The slow rain which is falling to-
day over the lower Yakima fruit sec
ton will prove both an aid and det-
riment to the fruit industry.
Rain is one Of the most effective
control measures for the red spider
which has gained considerable head
way during the abnormally long Pc
riod of heat which has just been
brought to a close. The present rain
will be more beneficial to spider in
tested trees than any one applica-
tion of spray.
On the other hand, If the rain con-
tinues for any extended time, it will
reduce the protective covering of ar
senical spray on the apples and neces-
state another lead spray application
at an earlier date than would other
wise be necessary.
Growers must rely on their best
other application of spray will be nee
essary Immediately following this
rain as there are no rules of orchard
practice which can be offered for guild
ance in this matter.
The writer continues to recommend
the application of arsenate sprays a
the following intervals: Fifteen to Il
days on large varieties such as Rome
and Delicious and 18 to- 20 days ol
smaller varieties such as Winesap
Likewise, the time interval betweel
the last spray and the time of picking
should not exceed the limits states
above. Worms will be active approx
imately as late as there is fruit b
the trees.

GIVEN. ONCE-OVER
Democratic Nominee for Vice
President Says He Is Strong
For Reclamation.

The special train of Franklin D..
Roosevelt democratic nominee for vice
president was halted at the N. P. depot
last Monday morning long enough for
him to briefly address the crowd
which had gathered at the station:
Mr.. Roosevelt utilized the few min
utes allowed him to tell the people
that he and "Jimmy" Cox did not be-
lieve in staying on their front por-
ches but preferred to get out over the
country and become better acquainted
with the people and their needs. He
said the sone great need Of the west
was reclamation and that in its ma
tional platform the democratic party
had placed itself on record as favo--
ing continued reclamation in the west.
He said the people could be assured
, that if the democrats are successful
at the polls in November the next Sec
retary of the interior will be man
who is thoroughly familiar with the
west.
In closing the speaker referred to
the league of nations saying that his
party was willing to trust the issue
to the intelligence Of the American
people. He told his hearers to read
the proposed covenant and use their
own information as basis upor
which to form an opinion rather than
to accept the Interpretation which the
enemies of the league chose to place
upon it.

FAVORS STATE
RECLAMATION
Senator Morthland Says That
Lesser Projects Must Look
to State for Aid.

Speaking at the Wednesday lunch
con of the Commercial club, State
Senator ID. v. Morthland of Yakima
voiced the belief that for the con-
struction of the smaller irrigation
projects we must look to the state
rather than to the government. Right
now, he said, the Columbia Basin pro-
ject is occupying the center Of the
stage and because Of its great size
and possibilities it is certain to over
shadow the lesser projects Of the state
in attracting national attention.
The senator said state reclamation
had come to stay and made the pre-
diction that the next session of leg
islature would enlarge the powers OF
the state board and probably provide
means for building irrigation projects
with state funds. In other words, he
said reclamation service would func-
ton within the state in exactly the
same manner as the u. S. service does
in the nation.
He declared that the state land set.
Element law and the state reclama'
ton law ranked with the most impor
tant constructive legislation evel
enacted by any legislature in any
state. "When anybody comes along
and attempts to tell you that the leg
islatures of the state have been hide
bound and unresponsive to the need.
of the people, just quote them to oul
legislative record which will stant
comparison with that of any othel
state in the union," he said. "One o.
the great problems before the nation
today is to increase agricultural pro
duction and to provide new home
building possibilities for its people
Our reclamation and land settlement
acts are step toward the solution O.
that great problem. No greater plal
for advancing civilization, for the bet
terment of humanity, for bringing
contentment and happiness to th'
world has yet been conceived than tha
of making it possible for the peopl'
to become home builders and hom'
owners. The purpose of these tw'
laws is to do just that. The stat
proposes not only to make the presen
waste areas habitable but to assis
the homeseeker to establish himsel
in the new home which has been pro
vided for him. In doing this we un
lock for the peoples use great ma
tural resource, increase agriculture
production, encourage back to the LAM
movement, contribute to the happi
! ness Of the people, but we lessen tn
taxation burden by the creation Of nes
tax-paying wealth. And / wish to sa,
two great constructive masures wer
passed by the last legislature withou
