SHIP Al CARS OF
FRUIT and VEGETABLES

Up to Monday morning of this week
White Bluffs this season had shipped
AZ cars Of fruit and vegetables, accord
ing to figures compiled by local agent
r. r. Woods. OF these g were pota-
toes, IS mixed fruit, 2 apples, 10
pears, peaches and onions. River
lands siding has loaded cars of onions
and 48 cars of potatoes and Verrita
has shipped one car of mixed fruit.
The loadings at Riverlands were from
Cold creek. These were all straight
cars and do not include express ship
ments.
The first car of Jonathan apples was
shipped this week by the Kopp Com
pany. Both warehouses are busy this
week packing D'Anjou pears. 1t is
expected that there will be 8 or 10
cars of these.
Although the Jonathans have been
growing during the past two weeks,
they have not been taking on color as
rapidly as they should. This condi-
ton is said to obtain generally in all
the districts of the West. This has
tended to hold back the harvest of
this variety and the picking of Jon
athans will not begin in THIS va.iey
generally until next week. The
reported heavy crop of jon
athans in the west and caused the
eastern buyers to hesitate about TAX
ing hold Of the deal, with the result
that the prices being offered at this
time do not look very encouraging to
the grower. If the price does not
show an upward tendency when the
perk of the harvest is reached, it is
said that only part of the crop in
the West will be harvested.
In spite Of the government FORE
cast of an unusually large apple crop
IN the West, the water shortage in some
districts and the damage from worms
due to the shortening of the spraying
period this season, it is believed, will
cut down these estimates materially
on every variety of apples with the
possible exception of Jonathans, and
when this fact becomes known to the
trade it is thought it will have a ten.
dency to stiffen the market.
AS compared with July l., commerce
ial apple prospects in the eastern and
central states increased IA per cent,
in the five western states an increase
of 3.3 per cent is noted. while for the
country as whole the prospects in
creased SIS per cent, says the August
! crop report of U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
The condition Of the apple crop in
Canada the beginning of July indicat-
cd yield of approximately 3.045, 900
barrels or per cent above last year.
according to the fruit and vegetable
crop report for July. The crop of
British Columbia promises to be the
largest on record for that province
and is estimated .t 1,175,3o0 barrels,
about 26 per cent above last year.
Quebec and the Maritime provinces
also have prospects for increased
yields. In Ontario the crop is con-
siderable lighter than last year. Ow-
ing to the lateness of the June drop in
the eastern provinces, however, PROS
poets may still change materially be-
fore the harvest.

SHOWERS HELP

Showers Tuesday afternoon and
night apparently put out most of the
forest fires in the mountains, tenn
porarily at least, for the air has been
cleared of the thick smoke that has
hung over the state for ehe last
month. The rain, the first for
months, washed the dust from the
tree leaves, settled the dust for a day
or two and was generally welcomed.
1t is now believed there was not enough
rain to damage any hay that was

1t is estimated that the paving of
81 miles of the road between Kenne-
wick and Richland will be completed
within the next two weeks as the con-
tractor has large crew of men on
the job and has not been encountering
any bad luck of late.
When the paving is completed the
state will not allow traffic over the
stretch for % days, at the end of which
time light cars will be allowed to use
the new road.

A Il CAPITAL
He Made Four Presidents
Best Dressed Men in
the Country.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Major
Arthur Brooks, Negro valet to four
presidents, died today at his home
here after a long illness.
His end marks the gradual passing
Of the old White House retainers.
He was particularly beloved by the
entire executive official family for
his kindness and obedience.
President Coolidge was particus
larly pleased by Major Brooks
presidential spokesman took oc-
casion at the summer White House
to extol the virtues of the aged re-
tainer.
Major Brooks is one Of the finest
men in Washington" he declared.
Once Commander
The title Major" was a misno-
mer. Brooks was lieutenant
colonel, or was when he passed the
age limit for the reserves, For
many years he was commander of
battalion Of militia in the District Of
Columbia.
"He Is every inch a soldier and a
hell of a good valet" one Of the
presidents military aides commented
once on the strange combination of
dog robber" and commander.
Brooks came to the White House
under the Taft regime. and Presi-
dent Taft became one OF the smart
est dressed men in the capital, de
spite his then unstylish girth.
Then Wilson
President Wilson, like most col
lege presidents, was not a very
smart dresser. But when he visited
Europe his excellent taste in clothes
was the subject of considerable press
comment.
President Harding likewise under
went change for the better in the
matter of clothes when he was elect
ed to the executive Office though he
always had reputation for sartorial
elegance.
Cal Difficult
But perhaps Brooks most difficult
subject was the present occupant of
1900 Pennsylvania Aye. Coolidge s
stature and figure are of the type
to give bad nights to clothes de-
signers. While he was vice presi-
dent his clothes were subjected TO
considerable friendly criticism and
he was the despair of the ladies' gal
lery of the Senate. Now, he is con-
sidered one OF the well-dressed men
of the country and one of the few
short men who can wear a silk hat
with dignity.
Brooks had been in retirement,
more or less, for the past year. due
to ill-health. There Is no noticeable
effect on the dress of the President
however, principally because of the
careful training Brooks gave his as.
sistant. John May, before leaving
him in active charge OF the execu-
tive wardrobe.
