MAKING WOOD LAST LONGER

=. By treating, them with coal=tar creo-
soto such ,short-lived woods as soft
maple, beech birch, sweet gum, black
gum, young or sap pine, and red oak
are'made durable for use in the ground
as fcnce posts for 10 to 20 years or
longer, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Round sticks are more satisfactory
for treatment than split timber since
they have uniform absorbing surface
of sapwood. Practically all Of the soft
woods or sapwoods may be treated
and proftably used as posts.
Before treating, it is important that
the; timber be peeled and thoroughly
seasoned. Small fakes of the inner
bark left on the wood prevent proper
absorption of the preservative at those
places. Peeling is done most easily
during the spring months, but may be
carried on at other seasons of the year.
The posts to be treated should be peel
ed from to 4 months, depending up
on the weather. before treatment, and
open-piled in av'drys place to. effect
proper seasoning. snino1ass 1s.a
Application of creosote by brushing
over the whole post is only slightly
effective in preventing decay. Open
tank treatment with hot bath, fol-
lowed by cold bath Is recommended
for fence posts. The sapwood sur
rounding the heartwood takes treat
ment readily and is thereby protected
against the entrance of decay.

ASK THAT INJUNCTION
BOND Be REDUCED

Through application Of Carroll B.
Graves, attorney for the Hanford water
right owners, the liability uner the
bond to be given in the injunction
suit against the Consumers Ditch
company is expected to be reduced
this week by Judge Webster of the
Federal court from $40, 900 to SIS, 900
and the bond filed in court.
The filing of the bond will comply
with the Courts order and establish, .
the maintenance charge this year at
81 per acre for the contract allowance
of 80 inches. The 81 rate however,
applies only to Hanford water right
land and in no way affects the charge
for excess water which the company
has announced will remain at the same
figure of 20 cents per acre inch.
In order to make the 81 rate per-
manent and in fact completely effective
this year, it will be necessary for the
water right owners to prove to the
court at the final hearing of the case
this winter that it is sufficient to cover
operation and maintenance. If they
fail to prove that, the 5000 can be
collected from each water user.
Jay Smith and e. ]. 'O'Larey Of the
water right owners committee were
in Seattle the first of the week in the
interest of getting the injunction bond
reduced and also to discuss with Mil.
waukee officials the necessity of their
taking an active interest in attempt
ing to work settlement Of the whole
controversy.

SCHOOLS TO OPEN ON
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER I

Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Underhill ar
rived in White Bluffs Tuesday even
ing and moved into the McFee cottage
in the north part of town that for the
last four years has been occupied by
the superintendents of the high school.
The Underhills are the first of the
teaching corps to arrive, most of the
others not being expected until short
ly before the opening of school on
Tuesday, September 7.
improvements at the grade school
this summer include new painting in
side and out with the exception of the
roof, and vanishing and ka1somining
of the interior. The lawn also has
been enlarged. Sutherland & Son
had charge of the painting on the ex
terror, and the interior work was done
by S. F. Murray. Some painting is
also to be done on the High School.
The board says that too much
damage is being done at both build
ings at public affairs and unless more
care is taken in the future they will
have to prohibit any use of the build
ir.gs and grounds except for school
purposes.
The school board wishes th
Spokesman to announce that there
will be no change in the bus route
this year. Z;

APPLE PRICES LOOKING UP


Opening cash and o. b. prices
on Jonathan apples are around
81 so but growers are not evincing
any great desire to let go at these
prices. There is general feeling
that apple prices are going to
steadily improve. Shortage of
water in many of the districts in
the west is going to cut down the
early estimates and already revised
figures are beng given out, indi-
eating much smaller tonnage.
The Jonathans in this district
have not matured as early as ex-
pected and while a few cars will
be shipped next week, the peak
will not be reached until the fol-
owing week.

CANCER
A. E. Stunt, M. D. Director of
Hoa1f1


Twenty-Five years ago the word
Cancer" was much less often used
than it is today. If person died Of
cancer some way was usually found
to avoid mentioning the cause of
death. Sometimes the cause was
spoken of as an '.incurable disease" !;
it might be referred to as growth" (;
sometimes, unguardedly, the word
"tumor" was used; not infrequently
the, nature of the illness was even
more completely disguised. People
seemed to think there was something
that ought to be hidden about the ex-
istence of cancer, and that it was a
disgrace to have it known one was
suffering from this frightful malady.
Twenty-Five years ago, it was not
known that cancer affected any but hui
man beings; and human beings living
a civilized life. Today, tits known that
cancer occurs among all kinds Of
people. There is no race or age or
social status or country or habit OF
life which affords protection from it.
Cancer affects animals and it affects
plants. Curiously enough, each spec
les has forms which are peculiar to 1t.
Thus, cancers which occur in mice do
not occur in rats; what is more, they
cannot be produced in them. This
species specificity," as it is called, is
so distant that in experimenting upon
cancer in chickens certain kinds of
chickens have to be used in dealing
with certain kinds of cancers.
Each diagnosis and removal is the
only sure cure.

POULTRY CONFERENCE

Benton county poultrymen will be
interested in an economic conference
on poultry which will be held at the
Hotel Winthrop, Tacoma, on August
/ 30 and 81. Problems which will un-
doubtedly be considered will include
production, cost Of production, hatch
ing, incubating, diseases, and local
and export markets.
This is one of a series of confer
ences being arranged by the State
College of Washington to assist in de-
veloping a better balanced agriculture
in the state. Conferences have al
ready been held on dairying, hay, for
age crops and cereal crops. At later
dates conferences will be held to con-
slider other phases of Washington
agriculture. The success of the past
conferences indicates that this is a
valuable means of considering the
problem.
All persons interested in the poultry
industry are urged to attend the con-
ference. Men actively engaged in
various phases of poultry work will
be asked to give the meeting the bene-
fit Of their experience. Data concern
ing the industry, both in the state and
nation, have been complied by spec
ialists at the State College to serve as
a working nucleus. The College is
making no recommendations, how
ever, but leaving that to those in at
tendance.
The 1925 census shows that Wash
ington had at that time 5,393,26z
chickens, of which, one-ttird were in
Eastern Washington and the other
two-tlirds in Western Washington.
Poultry are found on go per cent of
the farms of the state, besides the
thousands of small back yard flocks
in towns and cities.
The yearly sale of eggs produced in
Washington amounts to $4,000, 600.
A large part of these are marketed
outside of the state. Our success in
poultry has been due to our ability to
produce eggs economically and to
market them with satisfactory pro-
fit in the great consuming cities of the
East. The industry is worthy of the
careful consideration of every pro-
ducer and distributor, and they ,are
urged to attend this conference. 4

AMERICAN CHICKENS

Chickens Of the American breeds
are best suited for the general farm
flock. These include the Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red,
and Jersey Black Giant. They mature
earlier than then meat breeds, but not
SO quickly as the egg breeds. They
are also sitters and make good
mothers. The American breeds arc
good producers OF brown-shelled eggs
and possess desirable table qualities,
the yellow flesh being popular on
American markets.

NEW MAIL STAGE

In order to take care of the con-
stantly growing business, the Kenne-
wick stage line this week added anoth-
er car to the service. The new car
will be used only. for carrying mail,
passengers and express, while the old
stages will be used for carrying the
freight.
The addition of the new car will not
only permit faster schedule for the
mail and passenger service but will
give the stage company chance to
keep up with thesfreight business.

AMERICAN TEAM
RETAINS WALKER CUP
BY A NARROW MARGIN

st. Andrews. Scotland, June 3.--(P)
America retained possession of the
Walker cup, emblematic of interna-
tional team supremacy in amateur
golf, by fine cut victory on the
links of tie Royal and Ancient Golf
club today In the two-day's tour
ney, in which four two-ball four
somes and eight individual matches
were played. the Americans scored
fighting British rivals.
1t was the fourth consecutive
American victory in the Walker cup
series and their fifth in the inter-
national golf contests which began in
1921.
The team headed by Bob Gardiner
and picked from Americas best.

Movement
Just on whose brows the laurels
should be placed as the chief con-
tributors to the narrow. but conced-
edly well-earned victory Is a matter
of opinion.
AS it happened, it was on the
shoulders of George Won Elm. the
Pacific coast star, that the burden of
tactical work and the exercise or
fine golfing ability in the deciding
match, of the series was laid.
When Won Elm was coming home
In his match with Maj. Hazlet in the
afternoon it was known that the
Americans had the six points to their
credit and needed at least half a
point more to assure success. They
were all square coming to the oath
and it was apparent that if Won Elm
would take no chances and play safe,
instead of running the danger of los
ing, it would be the most advan-
tageous thing he could do for his
side
That, it appears, was exactly what
Won Elm did. 1t is true that he had
the assistance of Hezlet. who missed
a short putt for a win of the hole at
the 34th, but that hole was halved,
just as were the next two. and Won
Elm stood all square with his British
opponents when the final putt was
holed out on the spacious green close
by the Royal and Ancient clubhouse.
Thus by the half point which Won
Elm's match gave to the Americans,
the tieing of the two teams on points
for possession of the cup was avoided
and victory perched on the Ameri-
cans standard.

decide the team to tie Maine for the
title. Whichever team wins Friday
will be the dark horse of the later
days of the series as before the last
few games Maine looked like the I'M
disputed winner of the champion
ship. A play off for the title may
be arranged if possible but will prob
ably not be arranged because of the
fact that all three of the colleges con-
cerned are busy with final eXamina-

Wednesday and will not be sufficient
