LAST CAR OF PEARS
ROLLS. APPLES next

The C. M. Kopp company rolled
it's second car of pears from White
Bluffs on Wednesday. This was
the cleanup, so far as straight cars
are concerned. There are few
scattering pears here and there.
and these will probably go out in
combination cars of fall apples,
peaches and pears that will be load
ed out within the near future. F.
j. Bonn and A. C. Wade are as
sembling two such cars now.
MIR. Bonn says that the order for
eight cars of apples for Alaska. the
first of which was to have been
shipped today. has been cancelled.
the sample sent over to Seattle hsv-
ing been considered too green by
the concern handling the deal. The
Alaska order. however. Mr.. Bonn
says, has not been cancelled entire
ly but onlv delayed until the apples
mature little more. 1t is ex-
pected that the first car in this or
der will roll about August Goth.
1t will contain Delicious. Winter
Pananas, Spitzenbergs, Jonathans
and like varieties. The apples will
be packed orchard run and will be
outright by the shipper.

GRANTS Certificate TO
WENATCHEE SOUTHERN

The certificate of necessity for
the building of the Wenatchee
Southern railroad was granted on
Thursday by the Interstate Com.
merce commission. The granting
of the certificate ended five year

ley fruit growers and business men
and others interested When in
formed of the favorable action of
the I. C. c., DR.. H. A. Saurds rs.
general manager of the proposed
road, said:
1T certainly seems good to
know that we have been able to
convince the commission that a
road down the Columbia river is
absolutely necessary. Without
doubt the officers Of the road will
do all they can to push the con-
struction of the road to compile
tion. There will be a meeting of
the directors very shortly. at which
time they will make statement cf
their plans to the public"
The route of tn, proposed road
follows the Columbia river from
Wenatchee to Beverly to connect
with the Hanford branch of the
Milwaukee. This branch is to be
taken over as part of tie system
under a lease, and new link will
be built to point between Rich
land and Kennewick to connect
with the O. R. & N.
The new road will intersect four
trans continental railroads. the
Great Northern, the Milwaukee,
Northern Pacific and O. r. and N.
and will furnish a wide distribut-
ing field for the Wenatchee and up
per Columbia river people, as we'll
as for those living along the pro-
posed routes. It would mean a
much improved service for this
valley. for it will give rail connec-
tions with many places impossible
to reach now.

the same position in a discus

should handle his trade. Neither

choosing Of candidates. There is, in
short, no partisan enthusiasm in a
convention held in this city. En-
thusiasm, however, may prove to be
liability rather than an asset 1t
has been more of a liability at New
York than otherwise. for it has en-.
gendered harsh feelings that may
have a bad effect upon the party's
prospects in this campaign.
Disfranchised Washington is not
likely ever to present to a national
convention an aspirant for the presi.
Dental nomination. 1t has many men
who are worthy of selection, fully
capable Of making good in the presi-
Dental office: but having no votes, the
Capital is not considered rs source
of candidates.. So that it could never
be said that q Washington convention
would be partisan. This. indeed. is the
neutral ground, the ideal place for a
big party meeting; in fact, for both
party meetings.
One argument heretofore raised
against the selection Of Washington
for this purpose is. that it, has no ade-
Quate place of assemblage. That is
true, if nominating convention is
to be conducted like circus. But
there are several halls here that
would amply and comfortably seat all
the delegates and alternates to a con-
vention. with a margin for a reason
able number Of spectators, convention
officials and the press. After all. that
is all that is necessary. An audi
forum is in process Of erection that
will seat several thousand people.
There is no ground for objection on
that score.
Perhaps this New York experience
will lead to a reconsideration of the
party decisions never to regard Wash
ington as a possible convention
city. Certainly a convention held
here, in the political and physical con-
ditions that prevail at the Capital,
would be more satisfactory one than
the big Democratic meeting OF 1924
in New York.

Bring the Conventions Here!

Serious complaint has been ex.
pressed by numbers of delegates to
the Democratic convention that the
galleries at Madison Square Garden
have from the outset been filled with
supporters Of Gov. Smith. a leading
contestant for the nomination. This
is the first time, certainly for a long
period, that a convention has been
held in the "hon1e town" Of serious
candidate, although at other conven-
tons residents Of the states in which
they have been held have been in the
front rank of those proposed.
At New York the work Of the con.
ver1tion has, been seriously impeded
by the enthusiasm of the Smith
RIOTERS" who have seized every op.
portunity for cheering, and even me.
chanical noise making. The most of
this vociferation has come from the
galleries and those who have swarmed
upon the floor and have even invaded
the aisles of the delegates section.
Washington modestly puts forth the
claim that it. is ideally situated for
q national convention. This claim has
been advanced now and again in the
past, only to be rejected because, 1t
would seem. there is mo politics. IN

vote. except at conventions. fnr tAq

that this enterprise of the Post Office

that it is to be a permanent part Of

Removal Of the taxes on motion pic

ice Of communication and business.
There may not be a public outburst OF

In both national conventions--the
