CIRCUIT COURT AFFmMS WEBSTER
DECREE and D|SMISSES APPEAL

The Circuit Court Of Appeals Of San Francisco on
Wednesday affirmed the Webster decree in the Hanfol d
water right This that the appeal from the
Webster decree, taken by hrtyeight the three hun
missed and that the decreehas been held to carry into
legal effect the opinion of the Circuit Court rendered
over year ago.
This last decision should tend to clear up the local
atmosphere and, it is hoped, permit the water right
owners to work in harmony again. In addition to the
expense which the water right making the ap-
peal have been put and the dividing of the water right
owners into two factions there has been loss of val
liable time in working out permanent solution In
fact this loss of time may have been fatal for
that companies intend to ask for receiver are be-
coming more and more persistent. 1t Isl all up to the
water right owners. If they take action speedily and
show that they ready to work for fair settlement,
there is chance. Otherwise there is every Indication
that we are in for another expensive receyershp.

vor Of the plaintiffs, and declared the

.LAMPsON DISCUSSES
EASTERN MARKETS

| Most of the strawberries, as well as
great deal of the asparagus raised
in this valley, have been marketed dur
ing the last two or three years through
the Three Rivers Growers association
with headquarters at Kennewick
This year several of the local growers
marketed number of cars of their ap-
pies through Lee M. Lampson, man.
ager of the association. Mr.. Lampson
recently returned from visit to the
eastern markets and local growers
will be interested in the following in
terview regarding the trip published
last week in the Kennewick Courier
Reporter:
| "All doubt as to the possibility OF
overproduction for Kennewick aspar-
agus may now be layed to rest" said
Lee M. Lampson today in relating his
experiences on his recent trip thru the
eastern states to extend the markets
for the Three Rivers Growers assoc1a-
ton. "Kennewick asparagus growers
cannot produce so much asparagus
that it will become drug on the mar
ket, providing the shipping season is
not extended too long, and providing
also that we maintain our present
standard of grade and pack.''
! The growers in this valley have
finally got started on the right foot on
TIE. asparagus, according. to. Mr..
Lampson. The quality, which has been
strictly maintained in the past few
seasons, is receiving conrnendation in!
all the markets where it has been es-
tablished, and the trade is well pleased
with the pyramid package.
One of the greatest difficulties, Mr..
Lamrson says, with marketing prod
Ict so far from the place where it is
grown, is to have the buyer understand
that certain brand will always como
Up to certain specified quality. In
the eastern markets, when a buyer
wants the best apples that come from
the west they always specify Horti-
cultural union. In years of dealings,
one eastern buyer reported that he
never had carload arrive that was
not absolutely according to the grade
ordered. That particular pack has be-
come the standard of comparison for
all western boxed apples. The Kenne-
wick asparagus is beginning to set
the same standard in its line, according
to Mr.. Lampson, and if the growers
maintain that standard here, there will
be no trouble in the marketing end.
A normal shipping season should
lind ready market at a good price
thruout the eastern states for the Ken
rewick asparagus which will enter in
to competition with the California and
southern product. However, Mr..
Lampson states that after the north
ern crop is put on the market the fancy
price will 60 off. Growers can con-
tinue to ship into that field, and at
Price that will pay growing and har-
vesting expenses.
His trip was also to find a market
for the Kennewick cherries. The
Bings, he said, could he sold in as
large quantities as the valley could sup
ply. Bing cherries and the Clark Seed.
ling Strawberries needed no selling.
The only difficulty would be in Sc
curing the tonnage to make the ship
n1ents. ~. -
Mr.. Lampson is of the opinion, Of
ten expressed, that asparagus and ber-
ries were this valleys best, easiest and
quickest money makers and that the
acreage SHOULD be greatly increased.

UNITED STATES WEEKLY
REPORT ON APPLES

The U. S. Weekly Market Review,
covering apple prices and shipments
for the week ending November ~,
says: APP LES DULL AND
NEARLY STEADY. Most markets
continue heavily supplied with apples;
demand is light to moderate and few
changes in price are reported. Bald
wins still were selling at $2.5o-3.0O
per barrel in city markets and $3.50
at shipping points for barrels and
75-s5c per bushel basket. r. /.
Grennings range from $500 in some
eastern markets to S4.25 in Mime
apolis. Red fall valities have been
selling mostly at $2.50-3.00 in city
markets and Yorks $2.25-3.oO.
Northwestern apples, likewise, show
little change in price lately. Pre-
va,l'ng range on Extra Fancy Wine
saps, medium to; large sizes, was
still $1.25-1.40 per box at shipping
points. Most other standard varieties
and grades sold around $1.Oo pes
l.ox in producing sections and not
from $500 in Eastern city markets.
Reports CT damage of unpicked apples
by freezing continue to arrive rror,
most OF the great producing sections.
Some of the stock injured in this
way was not <as- the best market
grade, but it appears that the gen.
eral average keeping quality of a
considerable percentage of the stock
will be affected. This feature of
the situation, together with rather
moderate supply in cold storage,
affords some ground for encourage
ment to holders of long-keeping
stock. The foreign apple trade CON
tinues very active, with a toral
export movement of 290,373 barrels
and 327, 402 boxes for the week
ending November 13. Total tor
the season is now 2,326,117 barrels
and 3,447,96 boxes from the United
States and Canada. These figures
show exports nearly double those of
the corresponding time last season.
Foreign markets are now down to
about the level of domestic markets,
taking into account the cost of ocean
freight and other expenses, and only
the best stock brings anything like
satisfactory net returns.

vNLuCKY SATURDAY

Last Saturday seems to have been an
unlucky day for local autoists. In ad-
dition to the accident at Yakima that
resulted fatally for Henry Kirby and
the one at Hanford that sent r. u.
Chestnut to the Pasco hospital, there
were two others at White Bluffs that,
while no one was hurt, resulted in bad
ly damaged cars. .Clate Grewcll and
d. E. Malone met at the Barge corner
in collision that almost put both cars
out of commission and while passing
the O'Brien place few hours later,
Mrs. H. e. Niemeyer collided with Mr..
O'Brien's car which he was backing out
of his place on to the Soad.

START CAMPAIGN
in INTEREST OF
HOME FOR GIRLS
HEADQUARTERS ARE EsTAB-
.LIsHED IN ST. PETERSBURG
BY NATIONAL PHILANTHRo-
PIC ORGANIZATION

ST. PETERSBURG, May o.
Headquarters have been establish
ed in st. Petersburg by the Ma
tional Florence Crittenton Mis-
sion, a philanthropic corporation
chartered by the United. States
government and endorsed by
every president since Benjamin
Harrison, during whose admins
tration the first Crittenton Home
for Girls was founded.
The purpose of the local head
quarters, located in the Taylor
Arcade, is to launch a campaign
for a Florence Crittenton home
for girls in Florida. This cam
paign, to be opened on or about
May 10, will be under the execu-
tive direction of j. M. Macdonald,
who viii have as his associates and
co-workers, Glenn Miller, local at
torney; Charles Dubois, J.. p.
Lynch and Mrs. Louis L. Lawton,
and an organizing committee COM
posed of o. ID. Whittier, Mrs.
Edith Pierce, Mrs. Ida Damn, w.
+. Wakeman, c. H. Niemyer, J. B.
Greene, A. Culbertson, Mrs. S. NJ.
Harris and Mrs. Elizabeth Park.
Mrs. Alice Lafferty, one of the
national field secretaries Of the
Florence Crittenton Mission, also
Is in st. Petersburg and will be
actively engaged in the campaign
to establish a Florida home for
the furtherance Of the missions
work.
The National Florence Critten-
ton Mission was the first philan-
thropie corporation chartered by
special act of congress. This was
in 1889, and .antedates the char
tering of the Red Cross society.
The work. of the mission is to re-
claim unfortunate girls and to
give them chance to become use
ful citizens. There are now So
refuge homes in SO states, and
more than 10000 girls are cared
for annually. 1t is the belief of
the national body that Florida
win want TO help in establishing
home in this state rather than send
her unfortunate young women to
find haven in other states.
Mr.. Mcdonald stated that the
Florida building fund campaign
would be conducted by a voIun-
teer committee, which aims to
erect a building equipped to care
for 40 or more girls. All organ
izations-churches, clubs and
civic bodies-as we'll as individual
citizens. viii be asked to help
make the campaign a successful
one.
