YULE TREES

What happens to the thousands
of Christmas trees that are being
thrown away in Washington this
week and next?
Within the next few days thou
sands of these trees will be thrown
into back yards, alleys and streets.
Who carries them away and where
are they taken?
Most of the trees viii be carried
away by the District trash collec-
tors and alley cleaners. Every
truck load of trash for the next
few weeks will contain a few
Christmas trees.
They are taken to the dump near
Mt. Olivet Cemetery and burned.
According to officials OF the trash
collection office, no use has been
found for them and they are. there
fore. burned up.
So many trees will be discarded
during the next few days that it
will be impossible to dispose OF
them Immediately.
Trash collectors win take care Of
them as fast as possible, however,
and expect to have them all out of
the way within month.

kTuesrs Idea Was 10
Make Camp on Ocean


The sight Of the trackless ocean
and Z ship punching the waves al
ways brings back to this writer the
authentic story Of Paul Kruger.
the president Of the Transvaal re-
public, and his attempt to teach q
group Of Hottentot children the
story Of Americas discovery, Pierre
Van Passen writes, in the Atlanta
Constitution. His representation Of
q ship conjured up q mental pic
ture Of a floating covered wagon.
Dom Paul's Imagination may have
been magnificent, but 1t failed him
miserably on the occasion when he
was travelling from Capetown to
Southampton on the pathetic mis-
sion Of seeking aid for his country
at the chancellories Of Europe.
When night descended Dom Paul,
who In his youth had slain an AZ
rican lion with his bare hands, be-
came nervous and agitated. Finally
he could hold out no longer. Briskly
he climbed the ladder to the cap
tain's bridge. The officer saluted.
Tell me-" said the BOer president,
where do you plan to unhitch to-
night. It's getting dark, you know.
and I think we had better make
camp" When treasured by the
skipper he went back to his cabin,
read the story of st. Paul's ship
wreck, drank a stein Of beer and
fell asleep.

To The Editor:

To The Editor:
Well the writer has voted no.
thing but straight republican
ticket during his life. This includes
a ten year sojourn in the state of
Washington. Senator Jones spoke
in Kennewick today and am still
unable to get his positive attitude
on certain matters. What he would
like to see done does not interest
me. What he definitely pledges
himself to do and the efforts put
forth to fulfill such pledges are
practically settled to the layman
mind. The Kennewick irrigation
ditch is an open, unsettled and
vital question to we farmers.
Government officials said there
were three major irrigation pro-
jects in Washington worthy Of
just consideration, Kittitas, Ken
newick and Yakima-Benton. Spe-
cial Investigating committees of
the senate, as well as Mr.. Work,
have publicly published their find
ings that the Yakima project is
one of the best paying projects
the reclamation service ever built.
In fact I believe Mr.. Work, after
a personal tour Of irrigation pro-
jects in the west, stated it was
a positive enjoyment to go over
the Yakima project because it was
SO different, presumably on ac-
count of the districts prosperity
and ability to meet their payments
to the reclamation service.
Of the three major projects
