There is a very serious situation
confronting the voters of Delta and
Gunnison counties this year in the
selection of a State Senator. The two
being farm and stock counties, and
especially Delta county, it is very i'm
portant that a man be selected who
understands the needs of the farmers
and stock growers OF the county - a
man who shares interests with the
farmer, who understands his prob
lens, and who when in the State Sen
ate can present the problems in a
way that they will receive the at
tention of his fellow senator's; a man
experienced in business affairs. able
to hold his own with business men.
J. E. Moore, candidate on the Re
publican ticket for the office Of State
Senator. is in every way qualified TO
serve Delta and Gunnison counties and

interest Of the farmers and stock
growers. Mr.. Moore is a practical

slight stroke of paralysis on May

OFFICER, HE'S IN AGAIN!

John Burke, one Of the three
men accused of attemL ting to
blow the safe in the First Bank of
White Bluffs two years ago, but
who escaped from the Pasco Jail
with the your gest of tie trio while
awaiting their second trial at Pros
S r, is reported to have been taken
into custody in California this
week. Federal officers identified
him while he was under arrest for
the bank robbery, as man wanted
by them for crime committed in
another state and 1t is not known
here whether they will hold him
for that crime or return him to
this state. John Morrison. who
was with Burke when he escaped
from the Pasco Jail, has not been
apprehended, nor has C. l.. Potter,
the other member of the trio, who
broke Jail in Walla WallA following
his conviction on his second trial
at Prosser.

STRAWBERRY SEASON OVER

The strawberry season for this
valley, so far as outside shipments
are concerned. is probably over.
The price. despite the short crop.
broke badly all week and when it
reached $3.50 on Thursday, picking
stopped. The Coast berries began
moving to market the first of the
week, and they, together with the
Hood River crop, bore the price
down.
The frost damage to the berries
along the Columbia was so great
that at no time this season has the
association been able to ship in car
loads and this was the most unhap-
py feature of a rather disappoint-
ing year for the strawberry grow
ers. Even now. if there were suffi-
Gent berries to ship in carlots the
price could probably be held
around Sd per crate. as the berries
could then roll under ice to Mon
tana, Canada and, possibly, points
further east.
Growers say that it costs them
this year approximately So per
crate for crate, picking, packing,
stage freight to KenneWick and
commission. And at $3.50 they
felt that the margin was too small
to play on. especially with pros
poets indicative of falling mar
kct.

CHERRIES RIpEKIke

The cherries are beginning to take
on color and the first picking will be
made either the last Of this week or the
first of next although the regular ex-
press and parcel post shipments will
not be under way until the middle of
next week. The crop is short every
where this year and with the Califor-
MIA cherries barred from the Coast
markets by the foot and mouth disease
except when they are put through an
expensive and unsatisfactory funiga-
ton, the price this year promises to be
high. Around White Bluffs the trees
on the higher ground have fairly
good crop while in the low places they
have practically none. w. H. Webb,
probably, has the largest number of
bearing cherry trees around White
Bluffs and he says he will market more
cherries this year than he did last sea-
son when he shipped around 1000
pounds, even though the wind last Sat
urday blew off foutth of his crop.
