STAGE COMPANY
LAYS PLANS TO
IMPROVE SERVICE

Howard Morgan of the Piekwick
Stages system arrived in Ell Centre
yesterday afternoon TO spend few
days, having recently undergone an
operation for appendicitis.
While recuperating from the i'll
ness Morgan plans to make trips of
inspection along the lines conducted
by the Pickwick stages. lie will
make Il report on conditions with =
view to speeding up the service and
suggesting other improvements.
We hope to put four lines
through from FL Centre to Los An
geles soon, he said. 1.-Two of
these will come through El Centre
on the through line from Los An.
geles to Phoenix while the other
two will originate from here. We
also plan 10 move the night line
from FL Centre to Los Angeles
ahead. At present this bus, leaving
FL Centre at s o clock at night
makes it practically an all night
ride to Los Angeles. BY starting
from here between and y. m.,
IhHttdu we Will De aDlt 10 get the
travellers into Los Angeles shortly
after l . clock i'll the morning.
Plans are also under way to
put on Il night ear FOR San Diego.
We believe that "a night ear will
meet with approval as we have had
numerous calls for such service.
We also hope to give residents of
the valley IA reduced rate on local
trips during the summer months.
We believe that in this manner we
can aid them in getting in and out
OF the valley to summer homes in
the mountains over the week-cndS.
We have just put two new ears
ON the Los Angclcs-Phocnix lines.
These machines, carrying 80 passcn-
gers are equipped with huge balloon
tires and are meeting with great
success.
"Other improvements in our
lines which will affect the valley
are contemplated but nothing def
mite regarding these changes can be
said AT present, he stated.

BOY SCOUTS ENTERTAIN
MOTHERS WITH BANQUET

Grange hall, which has been the
scene OF SO many happy events in
the last year, was transformed into
banquet room last Saturday evening
when the mothers of the White Bluffs
Boy Scouts were the guests, and
their sons the hosts at the Scouts
annual entertainment.
A long table arranged down the
center Of the hall and decoratea
with jars of peach blossoms, was
laid for the banqueters, who were
served by committee Of high school
girls.
The banquet was opened by the
boys rising and repeating the Scout
Oath. After the viands had been
thoroughly discussed, Mrs. O. F.
Allen, as toastmistress, called upon
Scout Dudley Wilkinson to give the
address of welcome, which he did
in a neat little speech. The response
on behalf of all mothers present, was
made by Mrs. F. M. Wheeler.

Boy Scout work in White Bluffs was
given by George Hammer and he

from membership in the organiza-
ton.

bana Cradle Song" and Little
Mother O. Nine" were given by the
Scout quartette composed of Russell
Blair, George Hammer, Robert
Refnlinger and Donald Wheeler.
A letter was read by Scoutmaster
Gossard, from Harry Palmer, Boy
Scout Executive, expressing his regret
at having been unable to attend the
banquet and bearing words Of en-
couragefnsnt for the boys and their
leaders.
In the last address of the evening,
Assistant Scoutmaster Kirkpatrick an
nounced plans for a lodge to be built
by the boys some time this summer,
on the lots donated to them some time
ago by Sheriff James Shepard.
At the close of the evening rising

theirs to the Scouts and their leaders

lad enjoyed.

NORTHWEST FRUIT CROP
HIT BY COLD WAVE

With temperatures ranging from
20 degrees to IL degreee above
zero. cold wave straight off the
icebergs at the north pole settled
over the Pacific Northwest last
Tuesday night and played havoc
with the commercial fruit crop.
The government thermometer on
the Ira Hawley place registered 163
above and this seems to have been
the general temperature along the
Columbia river from Kennewick to
Wenatchee. while in the Yakima
valley it is reported that there
were places where it went as low
as IL degrees. 1t is believed that
the soft fruit in the states of
Washington and Oregon is pretty
wellwiped out and that there has
been some damage to the apples,
although its extent will probably
not be known for several days.
i. E Davis of the Kopp company
who has been making an extensive
survey since Wednesday morning,
says he finds uninjured apple buds
in q lumber of orchards near the
river. enough to.insure a fair crop,
while in the orchards further back
the damage has been severe.
The temperature dropped too
low to save much Of the soft fruit,
even where heaters were used, but
some good results are reported
where a sufficient number of heat
ers were used in apple orchards.
L. A. Codding, with 600 heat
ers in the five acres Of Winesaps
on the Hawthorne place that he re-
Gently purchased, is said to have
saved approximately fifty per cent
of the buds. Mr.. Codding fred
from 10 o'clock in the evening I'M
til z the next morning and burned
1900 gallons of oil.
l.. T. Brooks of the In-B-Tween
neighborhood concentrated his heat
ers on a block of Delicious, and
those who have examined his trees,
say that he has saved enough buds
to insure at least a fair crop
