WTIGUE LOOKS FOR MORE WORLDS TO CONQUER
Sullivan Duplicates
Young's $ Feat In p
Hrs. And 45 Minutes

LONG BEACH, Calf, Feb. 1.-(P)-
With the distinction of being the sec

swim the Catalina channel, generally
conceded to be his, Henry F. Sullivan
of Lowell, Mass, today recuperated at

fects of his struggles with, the chilly

Sullivan, who has a crossing of the
English channel to his credit as we'll

Starting from a pointgnorth of the

steadily but slowly to the same point
where George Young, youthful Cana

Sullivans successful completion of
the swim was attested to by John j.
Conlon, his trainer and manager; Ir-
wing Davidson, pilot T. F. Chase, a
Salt Lake City photographer; Jack
Swain, a Long Beach newspaper man,
and number of others. The same
| kelp bed that almost blocked Young's s
way at the finish of his swim was no
obstacle to Sullivan. Outgoing tides,
too, slowed up his time, he said today.

from communities where there
was no newspaper, proving the

NO CUT IN
TOLLS SOON
Bridge Men Offer But
Little Encouragement
of Reduced Rates

There is a likelihood that the
tolls on the Benton Franklin
bridge will be reduced this sum-
mer, but to what extent and when
the reduction will become effec-
tive is not known. A committee
from the Commercial club. consist
ing of A. F. Brown, H. r. Vibber,
M. M. Moulton and L. E. Johnson,
went to Walla Walla Monday
night to confer with Mr.. Grove,
president of the bridge company.
Mr.. Grove went into details as
to the cost of construction and op-
Grafton and explained the COM
pany's problems to the men from
Kennewick. With the plea for a
reduction the local men hoped to
convince the bridge men that with
the resultant increase in traffic
the bridge income would not be
lowered, but possibly increased.
The Walla Walla man in his anal
ysis indicated that possibly the.
company would be compelled to
cut its rates for crossing, but gave
no statement as to the amount nor
as to when the reduction would
take affect. The annual meetino
of the bridge company is held in
July and the matter will be dis
cussed at that time.
This report was submitted to
the club at its luncheon today,
when it was suggested that the
proper place to take this matter
up was with the state department
which had jurisdiction over the
tolls. 1t is likely that a hearing
will be petitioned for in the near
future.
The matter of holding joint
meeting with the farmers was
postponed until warmer weather,
when it is planned to have holi-
day with a picnic dinner and field
sports in the park.

APPLES ARE
HOLDING FINE
Tests Show Crop is In
Fine Condition in Spite
of Fall Freeze

When persons become so enthu-
siastic about the apple crop as to
make the statement that the fruit
is in better condition at present
than when it went into sorage,
it is time for an explanation, de-
clares Prof. o. M. Morris, head
of the department of horticulture
at the state college.
"From the time the apple sets
after blooming in the spring, q
continuous life process involving
physical and chemical change is
being carried on. The fruit may
be subjected to temperatures low
enough to practically bring the
life processes to a standstill, but
it can never be made to go in the
opposite direction" professor Nor
ris says. !.
Of the fruit harvested in the fall
of 1926, a larger proportion was
found to be fully grown and more
matured than have any OF the
crops taken from the trees In
Washington for several years. In
previous seasons it has been pos
sible for the growers to keep up
with the ripening season and ga
ther the fruit before it was matur-
ed. Last falls cold snap stopped
tree growth and in most cases it
stopped short the fruit growth,
causing it to finish its process OF
development quickly.
HThe September freeze was not
sufficient, however, to destroy the
keeping quality of the apples. The
fruit of the early varieties whlcf
was left on the trees and exposed
to the freeze, in most cases has
kept better than the fruit har.
vested early in the immature state
and kept in warm packing houses
until stored.
"The horticultural department
of the state college experiment
station has in cold storage fruit
from the Spokane valley, Clarks
ton, Kennewick, Prosser, Yakima
and Wenatchee. This fruit is show
ing normal characteristics in the
ripening process but none has
shown an indication of improve
ment in storage"
