 Each house in Irkutsk has vapor bath apart from the main building Stones are piled and heated in a fire. and water is poured on them so that when the door is closed the steam fills the bathroom proper which is shut off by board par tition The bathers. sitting on benches steam their naked bodies both to cleanse themselves and relieve fatigue. They use brush made of small cherry branches with leaves to strike themselves with for cleansing, and pour cold water from a srrall pail on their faces when the heat is too great. There is lot and cold water, as in our Japanese bath. From time to time they wash themselves and return again to the vapor The vapor bath IS prepared four times a month and alwass in the evening before Sunday when all the members of the family bathe. There are atso public baths in the city which are the same as trcse described, only larger. so that many ltt pie may be ac- cummodated It $ difficult for one un- accustomed to it to remain long in the vapor bath

GROWERS ORGANIZE

BRAWLEY. April 14.-Last Sun
day saw the formation of the Tomato
Growers association OF Brawley, by
115 tomato growers. who have over
1000 acres to harvest for the season.
The organization is formed with the
object OF even distribution of the to-
nato crop grown in the Imperial val
ley and to guarantee quality and pack
of the Imperial tomatoes. An operat-
ing committee. consisting of six mem
bers, was appointed to arrange for the
shipping, seiiing and inspection OF the
crop as gathered. This committee will
employ two federal inspectors for the
proper grading of the stock as it comes
from the vines. The outlook is for a
large crop of the finest quality, mostly
Early Annas. This variety has given
great satisfaction in the past. Prices
everywhere are strong and the grow
ers have a prospect of making good
money if proper transportation can be
secured

To BRING
400 CONCRESSMEN
TO VISIT VALLEY
Colorado RiUev Project Will be
Brought to Attention of the
Entire House of Representa-
tires; Project Takes Shape.

A. least 400 members of the United
States congress will be brought from
Washington to view the Colorado
River basins vast resources to con-
vince the national legislators of the
need for immediate appropriations
for development of the basin, ac-
cording to plans announced yesterday
by leaders in the conservation move
nient in this city.
The announcement was made af Ter
a meeting of the executive committee
of the League of the Southwest, as the
direct result Of the convention held in
Los Angeles last week. 1t was stated
that leaders of the conservation move
ment throughout the Southwest are
behind the plan.
The plans for the special train to
convey the members OF congress tC
the basin, and to take them over the
area were outlined by r. S. Collett
of Utah, one of the leaders OF the
Utah delegation, who attended the
League of the Southwest convention.
here.
Because we could not take the
Colorado River basin to the halls of
congress to show the senator's and
congressman that mighty resources
of the area ard their potentialities in
the future development of the west.
we conceived the idea Of bringing the
members of congress out at our own
expense to see the great river basin
and view for themselves its possibili-
ties" he said.
"Sho'Eng photos and maps of the
area to be improved will not make the
impression in Washington that an
ocular demonstration would afford.
The mention Of the Colorado River
basin means nothing tangible to the
people of the east because they have
not viewed for themselves it's poten-
tialities and understood them.
But once let US bring the members
of the congress at our expense from
Washington to the Colorado River ba-
sin, we will be able then to show
them with dramatic force just what
this rivers development will mean.
"We want to show them the stra-
tegic sites for the dams and reservoirs.
We want them to see the strategic
points for installations of great power
development stations. And we want
to show them how the conservation of
