eral counse, for the coal operators in
that state. to postpone its investiga-
tion of conditions in Mingo and Logan
counties until after the murder and
arson trials in Mingo county and the
grand jury Investigations in Logan
county are concluded.
Chairman Kenyon of the Senate
committee found the telegram upon
his arrival in Washington today. In
it Mr.. Vinson stated that 1.-THE pres
ence of your committee here to carry
on it's further investigation at this
time would seriously embarrass the
trials in Mingo county and the grand
jury Investigations in Logan county"
Mr.. Vinson estimated it would take
several weeks to conclude the court
proceedings which are now in prog
ress In Mingo county. and he quoted
the prosecuting attorney Of that coun-
ty as also requesting the committee
to postpone its visit until the cases
are closed.
AS another reason for asking de-
lay, Mr.. Vinson said: 'All the law

Senator Kenyon stated that he con-
sidered it important that full informa-
ton should be obtained concerning the
causes Of the trouble in the West vir-
ginia mine fields. in the hope that a
remedy can be found to prevent a
repetition. Some years ago he con-
Quoted an investigation of conditions

ion that should the committee decide

WHITE SALMON

Chas. Trout, who lives east of Hood
River, was here Sunday when it was
learned that he had become the new
owner Of the old Gump ranch adjoining
the town Of GlenWood. This ranch is
one of the best in the Camas Prairie
district.
The Highland Apple Co., of Under
wood, is manufacturing apple butter
for the trade. The butter is put up in
cans weighing | pound ounces, and
is called Farm Maid" apple butter.
1t is made from the apples grown in
Skamania county and cooked right on
a Skamania county farm. It's just
like mother had in the old stone jar
back home. and We'll tell the world its
fine. DR.. II. l.. Geary, well-known to
White Salmon valley fruit growers,
is manager of the Highland Apple Co.
The White Salmon Growers Ware
house received this week. entire settle
ment on their claim against the Ex-
press company covering loss due to
mishandling, by the express company,
on shipment Of berries received from
the Growers on June 18th and 18th,
1920.
All Of this money is being distrib-
uted TO the Growers and as the Claim
has been filed for some time 1t will
seem like getting money from home
and comes at time when it will come |
in mighty handy to many of them.
The settlement of the Claim makes a |
record price for all berry shipments |
during the season of 1920; making the |
best berry season for long time.
1t would be we'll at this time to plan |
the planting of more berries through
out the district and any one interested |
in so doing will be given first hand |
information on the subject by the
Grower warehouse.
