WALTERS BUYS OUT
BARTON'S INTEREST
Barton Gives up Interest In Company
to Take Proposition in
Spokane

1t is reported that j. A. Barton,
of the Barton Gleason company has
given up his interests in favor of w.
S. Walters.
The company, now doing business
under the name Barton Gleason
will still go under that name. Busi-
ness principles will not be- changed.
The nature of the business will still
remain the same as before outside of
the fact that Barton is out and Wal
ters is in.
Barton is to leave for Spokane and
there engage in the automobile bus
mess that is now being handled by
his brother.
w. S. Walters, who is now employed
by the Northern Pacific Railroad,
will not give up his position there.
He is allowed, under the rules of his
position, to take six months from
his work each year. His plan is to
take advantage of this rule which
will enable him to be at the ware
house at the busy season of the year
and still maintain his seniority.

the project in 1920. Of this, $4,000
had been given by growers and busi-
ness men and $4,000 by the traffic
association from assessments levied
upon fruit handled by members.
Attorney Corbin told of his recent
eastern trip and how he obtained an
extension of time from the interstate
commerce commission. He said the
commission appeared to be favorably
disposed to the road and further
extension may be possible, but he ad-
vised immediate action to show good
faith. Mr.. Corbin also told of his
visit with eastern capitalists, who
are in a position to finance the road
and ready to act, providing certain
preliminary work is done by the We
natchee Southern company.

EGGS MOVE IN
CARLOAD LOTS
Car Containing GIL Cases of
Eggs Moves from Ken
newick Business Firm

Either we have lots Of hens in this
farming district Of ours or the hens
we have, have been working overtime
for it is reported from the Columbia
Valley Produce company that they
moved car completely loaded with
eggs bound for California to give Los
Angeles people something to eat for
breakfast.
It is difficult to estimate the num-
ber of eggs that really amounts to,
unless a person stops and thinks for
awhile. Now, if there is 80 dozen
eggs in a case and there is Gil cases,
carload would contain 219, $50 eggs,
That means that 109, $50 peoble in
Los Angeles will surely have a good
breakfast.
Also there was a carload sent from
Walla Walla to the same place. Of
course it would not be right to think
that that place will eat all those eggs
but-well maybe they do. This car was
also sent by the Columbia Valley
Produce company Of this city.

CHINOOK GETS SNOW

After two weeks of below zero
weather the wind changed from the
north and came directly from the
south. The chinook, the south wind,
took the cold weather away from us
as quiclsly as the north wind gave
it to US. After fourty eight hours
of constant blowing of warm air ov-
-er the snow it had almost disappear
ed. Only solid ice has withstood
the chinook. Joe Leibee's skating
pond, and private skating ponds made
from broken water pipes, are the
only evidence we have around town
that we had a spell of cold weather.
1t would be far from the intention
of any of the inhabitants of our
town to hurt the peaches, pears,
grapes, apples or any of the crops
that could be injured by wishing foi
warm or cold weather but-"I'd ra-
ther see tumble weeds blowing down
the main street than to be hit in the
face with a peice of ice" seems to be
a common saying now that the wealth
er is warmer.

GRASS CRATES
TO BE PYRAMID
Board Decides that Both
Crates Will be Used for
the Coming Year

AT board meeting of the Three
Rivers Growers association last week
it was decided to use both crates,
the pyramid and the flat box, for the
coming year until all the flat boxes
that are now in the hands Of the
growers and in storage in the fruit
houses, are consumed. BY doing this,
markets wanting the flate crate will
get them until they have had the op-
portunity to be advised on the SUPER
iority of the pyramid crate and at
the same time give the pyramid crate
to those markets that want them at
the present time. This plan will al
so give the grower the option in re-
CARDS to the crates that he has al
ready on hand.
In deciding upon the crate there
was mention of the question whether
or not our grass would still maintain
its individuality if it were packed
in the commonly used eighteen-pound
box. After discussing the question
it was decided that the twelve pound
pyramid crate would be used. This
container is not used in any of the
east or west markets at the present
time, giving our container the privi-
lege of establishing the crate pro-
posed, in those markets.

D'ANJOU PEAR RETURNS

The BY Y has closed its pool on
D'Anjou pears returning the highest
prices received for many years. This
variety is in great favor in the east
for the Christmas trade and if held
in good cold storage for this season,
always command good prices. The
price received by Big Y growers is
S3.12 for extra fancy, $2.7O for fan
cy and $2.35 for C-grade, general
average of s2.79 per box or $110 per
ton net to the grower after all charg-
es for packing, storing and selling
have been deducted. The benefit Of
the Big Y cold storage plant to the
growers and the community becomes
more apparent as each pool is being
closed.

FARMERS SUPPORT
NEW RAILROAD
Will Pay Two Cents Per Box on Fruit
to Aid Wenatchee Southern
And Take Stock

Stockholders of the Wenatchee
Southern Railway were in annual ses-
sion Monday, January 5. At this meet
ing they outlined the program and
reelected all officers and directors.
More than 60 fruit growers present
pledged themselves to pay two cents
a box on their 1925 crop into the
preliminary expense fund of the rail-
road, with the understanding that
they receive stock in the road in re-
turn. This was voluntary on their
part and the action was made legal
when Attorney A. N. Corbin drew up
agreements, which were signed.
President N. H. Little said $4,000
to $4,000 would be needed this year
and it is believed that $4,000 will be
raised through the box assessment on
5000 cars of fruit raised near here.
An assessment of one cent box will
be made on 1000 cars raised in the
Cashmere and Entiat district, while
half-cent levy will be made on 1000
cars raised in the more remote parts
of the district, making a total of
$11, 1,250 in the two regions.
In addition, subscriptions will be
asked from interests down the COL
umbia river who want the road. 1t
is probable the Wenatchee Traffic
association may levy another assess
ment of one-fourth of cent a box,
a portion of which will be paid over
to the fund to be used in obtaining
right-of-way of the road.
That the Wenatchee Southern is
much alive was proved by the at
tendance at the meeting and the re-
ports made on progress. Mr.. Little
briefly sketched events of the last
year, most important of which was
the interstate commerce commission
granting the permit to build a road.
Under the order, July 1, 1925 is the
time set for having the financial plan
completed and work started.

CEMENT WORKS
TO OPEN SOON
To have Plant Equipped
to Manufacture Every
Cement Product

To manufacture everything that is
made of cement is the aim of A. B
Howe, who will, in the near future
open a cement works on Washington
street.
Mr.. Howe has had thirty-five years
experience in the manufacture of ce-
ment products. He has graduated
from the Stratford College of Chi
cago. This school has very high rat
ing in the field of cement manufac-
ture and designing. He has operated
similar plants in different localities
and has made a success of them. He
now has most Of his machinery here
and installed and is only waiting for
one or two pieces to complete his
plant before he opens his business.
Mr.. Howe already has many orders
enough to keep him and two other
men reasonably busy for month or
two. However, he states that he is
not exactly averse to being unreas-
onably busy if the opportunity avails
itself. The plant will probably start
operations about the first Of the COM
ing month.
Plans are made to make anything
that requires cement for its building,
and to prove that he has faith that
there is plenty of things that are
going to be built from cement, he has
a full carload of cement on its way
here now.
Through special glazing processes
he will be able to manufacture irri-
cation pipe and sewer pipes that will
Withstand any kind of tree or plant
roots. This is quite feature for up
to this time the roots have been n
very serious obstacle in the way of
piping water through alfalfa or or
solid and compact, leaving no room
chards. The pipes will also be made
of fine sand making them more
for water to get out or for anything
else to get in.
The manufacture of cement walks
will be another feature of his plant,
Instead of pouring the walk all in
one straight piece he advances the
plan of building walks in his plant un-
der the correct temperature and n
blocks. When the blocks are properly
hardened they will be laid on the
surface bed made of ashes or some
other bedding material. He explains
that in this way it will be possible to
lift any block that is bothered by a
root and, cutting the obstruction
away, replace the block and leave
the walk uninjured.
Through his experience and train
ing in hand glazing and in hand
moulding he will be prepared to man.
ufacture monuments, fireplace posts,
stair pillars, and all l,inds of house
decorations.
Other articles that he expects to
manufacture are: building tile
flooring, building blocks for construc-
tion purposes, cement brick and road
culverts.

questions relative to farm work.
All through both the meetings
there was an air of fellowship. The
atmosphere in which every person
present feels that he is at home and
that he may find out exactly what
he wants to know in a straightfor-
ward manner. The whole affair was
a splendid success.

One can see that production in the
socialized enterprises does not only
promise an enormous absolute in
crease-A65 per cent in two years, but
that it also increased from year to
year its proportional weight in the
production generally.
The best guarantee for further
achievements in this field is the high
ly developed concentration OF the
unions industries.
All Big Productions state Owned.
1T is well-known fact that state
'production is concentrated with us In
the bigger and technically best equip
ped enterprises, whilst private en-
terptises work as a rule on a much
smaller scale and on the lines of
Workshop and home industries. Con-
centration of production is particular
ly noticeable after the revolution in
the mining industry and in the fac
tories and works enumerated in the
census -
In accordance with the directives of
the planning organs, on concentration

achievement, we draw attention to
the fact that during the last year of
military Communism (1920) when
trade was altogether prohibited, the
private trade turnover in agricultur-
al products nevertheless only reach

the precincts of the Soviet Republic
exclusive of the Caucasus and Turk

pre-war rubles.
II we add to this 1913 million rubles
for products of small home industries,
we get a total of over S37 million
rubles. Allowing that the entire ag-
ricultural production obtained thru
taxation and amounting to 704 mil
lion rubles, and the entire production
Of state industries circulated in the
same year amounting to 1865 million
rubles, more entirely distributed by
the state, without middleman, and
such was not the case, state distri-
button would amount to 56 per cent
at the utmost and the private trade
turnover to at least A per cent of
the general turnover of goods In the
country. (See magazine along the

concentrated in the largest enterpris-
es employing more than 500 workers
in 1901, So per cent and in 1911, 56
per cent of the total number Of work
ers employed in the entire mining and
manufacturing industries, and by jan

course. provides the best explanation
for the colossal growth Of the pro-
ductivity of labor-4O per cent in the
1924-25 year, as stated in the central
igures Of the state planning depart
ment.
How great is concentration in our
Soviet industry can also be seen by
the fact that even in the u. S. A,
namely in the country with a maxi
mum capitalist development, the cor
responding normal of concentration,
according to the census Of 1919, for
the entire manufacturing industry
does not exceed in the highest group
tower 500 lworkers) 44.3 per cent of
the total number of workers of all
enterprises employing 21 and more
workers. And whilst the average
number of workers employed in Amer
ican factories and works is 151 per
enterprise, we had in 1925 already
239 workers per enterprise, namely,
one and a half times more.
II is true that in commerce and

increasing from $4,S31, ,O75,21O in 1899,

Surely the time has arrived for the
workers to awaken, to organize, and
to begin to fight for some OF the
wealth which they produce in such
abundance!
