stitch method.
There are four acts in the play
presented shuttlc-wise. The first act
begins with the adventurer telling
how the deed was accomplished. and
the second act takes us back to the
actual accomplishment. From there
VIC jump ahead four weeks, and then
back two weeks. finishing the final
scene with the present, with a par
ticularly bit of interest in the fact
that the adventurer falls in love
with the unsuccessful girl detective.

DETHMAN, COPPLE
SEE YAKIMA FAIR

C. Dethman and C. E, Copple have
just returned from trip to the Yaki-
ma fair. While away the men investi-
gated Yakima and Wenatchee fruit
conditions. They found the Wenatchee
harvest earlier than that of either
Hood River or Yakima. Crews of men
were already engaged in picking on
large scale. Boxes were being made
and crews were packing in the orch
ards. The Wenatchee district also es-
capped the heavy freeze of last winter
with less damage than their home dis
tiict or Yakima. The latter section
suffered very similarly to Hood River.
Spitzenburg trees especially were dam
aged in much the same fashion as
Hood River, the returned men say
Yakima's pear crop, it is stated, will
be negligible this season, and there
is no commercial peach tonnage.
A feature that impressed the men
more than any other one thing, per-
haps, was the lack of cold storage at
Wenatchee. Growers and shippers
there are unprovided with facilities for
caring for their apples. Mr.. Dethman
and MIR. Copple state that they saw
long strings of refrigerator cars on sid
The condition indicates that railway
systems have determined to take care
of growers at points unprovided with
storage, they say, and the inference is
that districts having storage facilities
will suffer a penalty in drawing in
sufficient rolling stock. The visitors
also discovered that cooperative mar
keting, such as is practiced in Hood
River and other districts, is not now in
vogue in Wenatchee. Growers have
sold independently and have prospered
in such seasons as that of last year. |
But they found feeling of depression |
this season. Buying is limited to |
earlier varieties and then on nominal
scale. Indications point to heavy con-
signments of apples by Wenatchee
growers, it is stated 1
The crops of both the Yakima and |
Wenatchee district were found light,
about 60 per cent of last sason and on
a par with production in Hood River,
and the apples small in size.
The visitors journeyed from Wenat-
chez to Ellensburg by auto stage. The
road leads up grade for 20 miles,
fairly good most of the way. A neM
grade has just been constructed for the
last five miles with grade in no place
over five per cent. The new grade,
through Blewitt Pass, eliminates some
stretches of old road that are difficult
to negotiate. The visitors declare they
never saw more wonderful hay re-
gion than that around Ellensburg. On
every hand the traveller sees haystacks
1otting the landscape. Hay is market.

PROPAGANDA FROM HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
GREAT BOOST FOR Ell CAPTAIN ROAD
GILA COUNTY HIGHWAYS IN GENERAL PRAISED
AS BEST IN STATE; COUNTIES URGED TO
PATTERN AFTER PROGRAM OF GLOBE
MIAMI SECTION ROAD BUILDERS

forward with the proposition that it
would be willing to meet the entire
costs of construction in Gila county,
thus permitting federal aid funds to
be applied to portions of the route
outside the county.
Another important highway is that
leading out of the lobe-Miami to the
north. This was originally built for
the purpose of transporting supplies
for the construction work on the
Roosevelt dam. 1t connects at Roose-
welt with the famous Apache Trail to
Phoenix, which has always been con-
sidered one of the finest scenic roads
in the state but Of Yess Importance
commercially.
Under County Engineer Julius Mil.
ton, the county is now constructing a
northern extension to Payson and
through the Tonto Basin country.
This will open up big mining and
stock raising country, and eventually
will connect through to Prescott.
Cooperating with the state high
way department, the county is now
planning on making an important
change in that portion of the road to
Roosevelt which lies. between Globe
and Pinal creek. This will eliminate
considerable ten per cent grade, and
number of sharp and dangerous
| curves. The plan is to divert the
route down Pinal creek to the new
steel bridge six miles above Living
stone on the Salt river, thence along
a fairly level mesa, returning to the
present route at the Pinto creek
bridge.
Though this line will be somewhat
longer than the present, the maximum
grade will be six per cent and the
running time will be about the same,
and it will avoid the expense Of broad
ening the present road to make it
safe. A most important advantage is
that it will reduce the distance from
the county seat of such northern
points as Young, where the road con-
meets with the Navajo county system.
The road to Young is now under con-
struction by the forest service at a
cost Of about s2SO,ooO, the county CO.
operating with the federal govern
ment. The new steel bridge across
the Salt river has been built in the
same manner at a cost of about
$4,000. +,

COST OF LIVING

New York.-Cost of living increased
in May, according to index of depart
ment of labor. Retail prices of %
staple articles of food increased 3
per cent, and Z per cent as compared
with January. Sugar, flour and po-
tatoes were the principal articles
causing advance Department says
that as food accounts for 38 per cent
of the budget of a workingman's fam
lily, cost of living cannot. be expected
to decline to any appreciable extent
while food prices are advancing.
Potatoes advanced per cent in
the month, flour Z per cent, cornmeal
IA per cent, and sugar 26 per cent.
In the same period that retail prices
of food advanced 8 per cent, whole
sale prices increased 21S per cent.
Department further says: "Fuel and
lighting materials furnished the most
notable example of price increase,
due mainly to the recent sharp ad-
vance in both hard and soft coal and
coke Index number of this group
rose from 213 in April to 235 in
] May"
