Better Conditions In
Pacific Northwest

SPOKANE.-The farmer of Idaho,
Washington, Montana and Oregon Is
sharing moderately in the prospects
for a general betterment of economic
conditions, although he Is far from
riding on a wave of prosperity, said
George G. Jewett, president Of the
Spokane Federal Land Bank.
"A better outlook for the farmer
is particularly reflected" Mr.. Jewett
said, "in a better financial condition
this fall, an increase in inquiries and
sales of farm property and in a ten
dency toward Investigation. He is
still under the pressure of heavy fl
nancial obligations but he is making
inroads on these, and should be on
iirmer basis next year.
"Of unusual interest is the fact that
we are receiving great many more
inquiries for farm lands, and making
more sales than year ago. 1t is
safe to predict a good land move
ment in the spring.
"The crops have been generally
good over the district. Idaho has ex.
perienced perhaps the best year Of
any of the Northwestern States"

Congress Votes Million
For Northwest States

WASHINGTON. - Appropriations
for reclamation carried by the In
terror Department bill, as reported to
the House, were all approved by that
the Senate in the form indicated,
body. This nsures their going to
the Senate In the form indicated
with the following figures for projects
in the State Of Washington.
Okanogan, $4,000; Yakima, $294,-
900; Kittitas, unexpended balance Of
former appropriations, aggregating
almost $75O,0O0.
No battle of consequence was
staged over the land settlement and
other limitations attached to new
projects but, on point of order, the
proviso giving the secretary of the
interior until June 80 of next year to
extend time for payment Of operation
and maintenance charges and to con-
tract with an irrigation district for
payment of unpaid charges within
such period Of years as the secretary
may find necessary was stricken out.
Western Senators have been con-
ferring within the last few days upon
a policy to be pursued when the
House bill comes over to them and
have decided to press for radical re-
vision of the measure with reference
to limitations which, they say, have
the effect of postponing new projects
indefinitely.

Marketing Problem of
Northwest Being Studied

Special study of the problem of the
terminal marketing Of fruits of the
Northwest is being made this year at
the University of Chicago by e. F.
Dummeier, who last year was profess
sor of economics at the Washington
State College, and who will return
to the institution next year following
the year of advanced study of eco
Monies.
This falls in with a special study of
the marketing of apples, which is be-
ing made by State College experts at
the present time, and which will con-
tinue over next year.
Mr.. Dummeier recently communi.
Gated with the college about his pres
ent steps in the marketing study,

Consider the progress already
made in tightening the burdens OF
mother and maid. washing, that
bane Of the housewives existence, is
no longer drudgery, thanks to the
electrical dish'washing machine. The
weekly washing-day, which used al
most to break mothers back, is now
less trying on her body and beauty.
Ironing-day, too, is now easier, thanks
to Edison and his fellow inventors
Our grandmothers had to putter with
oil lamps, filling them, cleaning them,
restoring wicks, wiping the lamp
chimneys. Today the mere pressing
of a button does the whole job and
does it infinitely better.
I'm our home we have dispensed en-.
tirely with the ice-man and have
always on hand an abundant supply
of clean, clear chunks of ice, while
the food in our icebox is kept in dis
tinctly better condition since we in

talents to the farm. Already progress
has been made. But the era of cleo
tricity on the farm, on the land, in the
orchard, in the garden, has only be-
gun to dawn. 1t is safe to say that by
and by every back-breaking species
of work on the soil will be lighted by
electricity.
Not only has electricity multiplied
our industrial productivity, not only
has electricity removed drudgery
from the daily life in the home, not
only is electricity destined to work
miracles in providing food, fruits and
flowers at all seasons of the year, not
only has electricity enriched oul
means of amusements and recreation
but electricity has made it possible
for all Of us to become on speaking
terms, through the telephone and the
radio. Also, electricity Is performing
an intellectually valuable mission in
making it safer for you and me to
travel by sea, by land and In the air.
Eyes, electricity is making life
easier and saving time for us all Are
we employing profitably the time thus
saved? And how will be employ the
still greater amount Of time electricity
will save for us in future?"

Basic Science Bill Loses.

1iminary examination in the funda-
mentals of hygiene and physiology.
Both branches passed the measure,
but it was vetoed by Governor Hart
ley. The Senate promptly repassed 1t,
but the House sustained the governor
by the narrow margin of three votes.
