Exchange

An exploding oil heater gave the
fire department a midnight run last
night to the Wenatchee Valley Fruit
Exchange warehouse, which has been
operated this season by the Cascade
Fruit Company.
There are several carloads Of ap-
Piles in storage in the building and
during the cold nights oil heaters have

turned in the alarm and battled with
the flames until the department ar
rived.
The fire was extinguished with only
slight damage to the warehouse floor
and several scorched boxes.

GET YOUR GUN
AND GO TO HOVER
Farmers Of Lower Valley Organ
ize Big Rabbit Drive for Day
After New Years

The new year isn't going to start
out very auspiciously for the jack rab-
bits down Hover way. Farmers down
that way have organized a drive for
Monday, January 2, and are inviting
all of Kennewick's shotgun artists to
come down and have some fun.
Harry Hampton, captain of the big
drive, states that he hopes a large
crowd will turn out as about hundred
and fifty men will be needed to cover
the line adequately. 1t is to be a
strictly shotgun drive, rifles or pis-
tolls being barred. Mounted men will
patrol the line to keep it advancing
at an even rate, so that no part may
get ahead and be endangered by stray
shot.
The drive will start at 10 o'clock.
The assembly point is ReilS's crossing,
one mile south of Finley on the S., P.
& S. railroad, from which point the
line will be formed under direction OF
Captain Hampton.
The. drive will be over about five
miles of country down to the river,
where it is planned to corner the rab-
bits on an island.
Hot coffee and sandwiches will be
served at the end of the drive.

VICKERS REPORTS
ON CONFERENCE
New Apple Rules More Accept
able to All Districts than
Former Ones

Manager j. w. Vickers, of the High
lands Fruit company, who was chair
man of the committee on grades at
the recent state grade and pack con-
ference in Spokane, has submitted the
following detailed report of the con-
ference proceedings:
Meeting of the fruit growers, ship
pers and dealers of the state called
to order in the Davenport Hotel, by
Assistant Director of Agriculture, F.
H. Gloyd, at 10 a. m.
Cluifford Chase, Of Wenatchee, un-
animously elected chairman. F. E..
Bailey of Spokane, elected secretary.
Credentials committee appointed as
follows: C. L. Robinson, P. S. Dar-
lington, F. E. Bailey.
Messrs. F. H. Gloyd and Wells A.
Sherman of the u. S. Bureau of Mar
kets, addressed the conference.
Conference adjourned at 10:45 to
convene at ESQ p. m.
List of accredited delegates report
ed by the credentials committee.
C. II. Swigart of Yakima moved
that the committee of delegates from
the various districts of the state.
which had been in session during the
past two days, be recognized as an
official committee of the conference.
Motion carried.
j. w. Vickers of Kennewick SUBJ
mitted the report of the official COM
mittee on grades as follows:
The changes which the members Of
this committee unanimously recon-
mend have been worked out after a
careful examination and considering
the problems and difficulties of each
of the various producing districts of
this state and with the view of pro-
ducing the maximum results in. dol
lars and cents in each district.
We believe that some of the changes
recommended will be beneficial to all
Districts and that some of them while
benefitting certain localities more
than others will not adversely affect
any.
Furthermore, it is the unanimous
opinion of the committee that the
adoption of the grade rules as recon-
mended will do more towards promot-
ing standardization of the grades
within the state and harmonizing the
various districts than any action
which has been taken by the Grade
and Pack Conference in recent years.
Extra fancy apples are defined as
mature, clean, smooth, hand-picked,

Urge SPEED
ON FEDERAL
RECLAMATION
state Unemployment Conference
Urges Appropriation of
S16,G00,000
MAYOR RDESGRANGES RETURNS
Unemployment in This State is Ex-
pected to Become More Acute
After New Years

Mayor H. w. Desgranges, who at
tended the unemployment conference
held in Seattle last week under the
direction of Capt. j. s. Gibson, re-
fional federal director of unemploy-
I nent, brings back word that unem-
ployment is not as alarming in the
state of Washington as some reports
Indicate.
Reports made at the conference, he
says, indicate that the high waters of
few weeks ago has afforded tenn
porary employment to hundreds of
men in repair crews on highways and
railroads.. Indications are that unem-
ployment will become more acute in
this state after January 1, when it is
estimated that hundreds of clerks, of
flee men and statesmen who have been
employed during the fall and pre-holi-
day season, will be laid off, together
with other workers who have been
employed in the movement of farm
crops.
Mayor Desgranges was partly re-
sponsible for the conference going on
record strongly in favor of speeding
up the governments reclamation pro-
ram. One resolution adopted by the
conference urges the immediate pass
age of Senate Bill 2700, providing for
the appropriation of $16,0O0,O00 for
work on federal reclamation projects.
The passage of this bill will give i'm
mediate employment to 10000 men in
the arid and semi-arid states of the
West, and will excite industry and ac-
tivity in other lines thru which prob
aply total of $4,000 men will re-
ceive employment.
The conference also strongly re-
commended the passage of the Nc
Nary-Smith bill, reclamation meas
ure covering reclamation by irriga-
ton, drainage and dikage, and that in
the bill ample provision be made that
the veterans of the late war desiring
land may receive it upon favorable
terms and that in the construction of
all reclamation work the veterans be
given preference in employment.
Dealing more directly with the To-
cal unemployment problem the con-
ference recommended that the govern
or create committee on unemploy-
ment with full authority to put labor
promptly on any new public jobs. 1t
urged the state, counties, cities and
school districts and other municipal
corporations to have all public work
contemplated, started at once. All
private industries are urged to ex-
tend their efforts to create further
need for employment. Manufacturers
and consumers alike are urged to pur-
chase home products insofar as pos
sible as increased demand for home
manufactured products means increas-
ed employment.
The conference went on record that
preference employment be granted as
follows: first, married men with fam
ilise and women supporting families ;
second, single men supporting families
third, women; fourth, transient single
men. 1t urged that the widest pub
icity be given to the fact that the
state of Washington recognizes first,

But, ladies, that is not all. In the first place we
want you to distinctly understand that we do not
handle ready-to-wear garments. We have a stock of
models from which you may select your Suit, Coat,
Skirt, Furs or other garments. From this model we
will duplicate your choice. We have at present a stock
of models, which we received two months ago, antici-
pating the opening of our store at that date. We will
dispose of these at cost because we cannot carry them
in stock until next season. This is an opportunity for
you to get unusual values and have something unique,
which no other woman in Casper can duplicate, be-
cause our stock is a stock of models and not ready
to-wear garments.
Our Fall and Winter lines will be the largest in
Casper, and you will be able to buy a duplicate from
any of our models cheaper by a large percent than
you could buy in any store in Casper a similar gar
ment ready to wear. We are our own manufacturers
and tailors and do away with the middleman's profit.
