ELlENsBuRe RoDEo

Secretary d. S. Wilkinson of the
White Bluffs Commercial Club has re-
ceived an invitation inviting the local
organization to send big delegation
to the Ellensburg Rodeo on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, September 8, 9
and 10. This is the fifth annual Ellens-
burg Rodeo, which is strictly COM
rnunity owned and operated event with
no profit to anyone. The grounds were
leveled, the race track laid out, the
fences built, the water and sewer mains
laid, and the bulk of the work done by
donated labor in June 1922. On the day
set aside for the Rodeo field day, $50
farmers and business men left their
work and gave the entire day to the
big undertaking. They brought with
them 22O head of horses, five tractors,
plows, scrapers and the like. The wo-
men of the community served lunch
at noon. With that as starter, the
community work continued all summer
during spare time and the 20 acre field
was rapidly put in shape for the first
show that fall.
Everyone in Ellensburg wears Rodeo
regnlia after the first Of August and at
Rcdeo time, and visitor from the east
naturally thinks he has at last stepped
into a real wild west" town. 1t is a
revival of the customs of the past that
gives so much color to the Ellensburg
Rodeo.

EXTRACT FROM LONDON
APPLE BUYERS LETTER

How the 1927 apple deal shapes ur
to London, England dealer IS srowl
in a circular letter, apparently mailed
cut quite generally to dealers and ship.
rers in this country, flcr: which the
following extracts are tal'en:
present indications po:ut to fair
crop of apples in this country, with
early varieties predominating. The
Bramley Seeding, great favorite
here, a good keeper and variety held
for late marketing, will be light, only
about 40 per cent Of an average crop.
There will be slightly more apples
on the European continent this season
than last.
Last year Canada had very light
output, whereas the United States pro-
duced no less than seven million bar
rels in excess of a normal crop, this
year the tables are turned. Canada,
that Is, Nova Scotia and Ontario, are
reported to be better favored and the
yield will be about one million barrels
in excess of last years quantity. Or
the other hand, the United States will
have only about half an average crop
"The excess in Canada will by nc
means balance the shortage in the
United States.
The greater quantity of apples in
Kent (England) this season means tina,
London will not be such good early
outlet for Western boxes and New
York barrels as it was in 1926.
('La5t seasons experience with early
shipments of Western boxed apples
we are afraic. will not be repeated tl1i
year, especially in London. Later
shipments, however, should meet very
fair, markets. The latter half of the
season points to being the better hall
from consignor's viewpoint.
Shippers are asked to bear in mind
that large colored apples invariably
make highest prices when sent to
Glasgow, Liverpool or Hamburg,
Small to medium sized fruit, excepting
green apples, command best prices
when sent to London. In green varie-
ties large apples are wanted by the
London buyers because such apples
are purchased by the public for cul-
mary use."

ORDER WATER METERS

Meters for all Of the water taps In
the town of White Bluffs was order.
ed Tuesday by the board Of trustees
of the White Bluffs Water Works.
The meters are to be shipped from
Seattle and the work Of installing
them will begin as soon as they ar
rive. The installation of the meters,
the trustees believe, will give more
satisfactory service and with each
water user paying for the exact
amount Of water used each month
there will be a tendency to prevent
waste, which will probably result In
better pressure in the pipe lines and
possibly postpone, at least, the ne
cessity OF another well.
