Accessories Play
Important Role in

stockings are coming in for their
share of attention in the list of inn
portant and interesting accessories.
Stockings have always taken an I'M
portant place because of the time
spent in selecting just the right shade
and weight to match the costume. But
now they are demanding even more
attention because of the variety seen
in their weaves. They have respond
ed to the general fashion of embel-
lishment and need much care in their
selection. The openwork mpShes are
much in demand for the evening and
show graceful clocks extending well
upon the leg. The lacy knee designs,
too, are much in evidence when the
skirt is worn very short. The fancy
banding. too, is seen in many of the
newest stockings. Open-work patterns
that that cover the knees are among
the novelties shown in stockings.

| Most of the Bartlett pears at
White Bluffs have been sold to the
canneries for $50 per ton. The deal
includes both No. Is and No. rs, and
is considered very fair price. The
canneries are out of the market here
now and further sales at this price
would appear to be difficult.
Concerning the condition of the
Fruit market in the Yakima valley the
Sunday Yakima Herald says:
Since prices of fruit this year are
relatively low at the opening of the
season the shippers are not keen to
quote prices and prefer to await the
time when the fruit is ready to
ship and a price has been estab-
hshed. On that account certain
factors in the deal are refraining
from making quotations on pears
and name prices only when in
quiries come to hand.
Bartlett pears are being quoted at
$1.50 box for the extra fancy
grade on board of cars, but .prac-
tically no business has developed.
In the early districts some deals
have been made in advance of the
harvest for bulk pears at $40 ton
for No. Is. and $40 a ton for No. Is.
This has been for packing out the
first cars.
A little business has been done in
early apples for export. Some have
peen purchased for delivery when
ready. at Slips box f. o. b. Yakima
shipping points. The varieties were
Winter Bananas, King Davids and
Yellow Newtowns. Jonathans have
been offered at the same price but
none has been sold. In each in
stance the prices named are for COM
bination extra fancy and fancy
grade.
Early peaches are going out at rs
cents box and Tragedy prunes at
81 a crate. Tragedy prunes hay,
been quoteti- at $1.l5 a crate but
sales have. been mostly at 81 box.
No straight car has as yet been
shipped, but that movement will
start next week. The first straight
car of peaches was shipped from
the. Parker Heights district Friday
night. Some Peach plurns have been
shipped at rs cents a box.

NEW SPECIAL DELIVERY RULE

An increase in the number of
postal cards sent out has been MOTTO
ed in the local postoffice, since the
new rate went into effect the first of
July, reducing the postage on picture
postals, greeting cards and all such
matter if it comes within the specified
size.
Another item that will cause con-
fusion is that all parcel post matter
if intended for special delivery service
must be sent with Special handling"
fee in addition. This means that
a parcel weighing less than 2 pounds
will be rated up Is cents. One weigh
ing up to 10 pounds will be rated 2se.
and over 10 pounds will be rated Csc.
Parcels may be sent special hand
ling. without the special delivery"
service, but no parcel may be sent
special delivery" without the special
handling feature. First class mail will
take the same rate as usual. Insurance
fees and money order fees remain the
same.
The department. has put a ruling
into effect on the registration of first
class mail which vii permit the mail
er to put a valuation of 100000 or
less on the parcel mailed. The fee
is graduated from 15c, the present
rate, up to $500.

HOW ABOUT. FIRE PROTECTION

At the Commercial Club luncheon
Tuesday, the matter Of acquiring a
chemical engine and hose cart for
White Bluffs came up for discussion.
A proposition has been made to re-
s;dents here and it Will be explained
at the band concert to be given
next Monday evening. AT present
there is no fire protection here at all
and it is believed that many
fires, not only in. town but in the
country, could be extinguished with a
chemical engine if the blaze is dis
covered before it has gained any great
headway. The band concert will be
given at the usual place near the
postoffice, beginning at 8 p. m. next
Monday evening. 1t is free and every
one is invited,

METEOR'S MIDNIGHT VISIT
CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION

The meteor that sped across the
sky shortly after midnight last Sat
urday night and which has been given
considerable notice in the papers all
over the western part of the state,
was seen by several residents OF
White Bluffs who were awake at
that time.
Mrs. w. F. Shaw, who was talk
ing to her recently arrived relatives
from California, said that flash Of
light caused everything to appear as
bright as day for few seconds
Mrs. Shaw gave the time of the
meteor's appearance as exactly 12:15
o'clock Among others who saw the
meteor were Mrs c. /. Wright and
George Barta and Henry Glanzman.
Mr.. Glanzman, who was working
on the Wahluke ferryboat at the
time, said that he heard no noise, be-
cause the boats engine was run
ming, but that when the whole sky
lighted up, he looked and saw the me-
teor racing from the east, as it dis
appeared in the west appearing to
burst, like giant skyrocket, into a
multi colored shower-a far grander
sight than any man'made pyrotechnlc
display could possibly be.
The spectacle was reported to be
an ( awe inspiring sight by c. B.
Webb of Yakima, who, according to
the Yakima Herald, was on Signal
point on Mt. Adams at the time.
Webb had gone to the peak dur
ing the day and when night came and
he was ready to go he was unable to
get his car started. He called for
help from Yakima and was waiting
in the car when he noticed brilliant
green light which made surrounding
trees cast distinct moving shadows.
His wife, who was sleeping in the
back seat of the car, was awakened
by the brightness of the light and
they both had time to get out and
get an unobstructed. view of the
phenomenal sight before it faded.
Webb described it as one of the
most beautiful sights he had ever
seen and ssdd that he felt fully re-
paid for his motor trouble. He said
that it outrivalled any possible man
made display of pyrotechnics and
that it burst like giant sky-rocket
giving forth myriad of colors as
It fell in the direction of Puget
: Sound.
According to Professor F. A. Nc.
MILAN, head Of the geology depart
ment Of the College of Puget Sound,
from $4,000 to 10000 meteorites reach
the earth's, atmosphere every day
but very few come to earth in solid
form, being burned to dust as they
encounter the heavier outer layers
of the earth's air strata.
Flying interplanetary missiles are
not of hot lava character when be-
coming detached from their mother
bodies, according to local astrono-
ners, but become hot because of the
friction. of speeding through the
air. zsff--'f5 III ff-t.ss -
my estimate is that the meteor
seen in this region early Sunday
an ususually large one probably,
first became visible at an elevation
of eighty miles, and that it came
gradually lower said w. G. Hale,
superintendent of the library osstaff
at the University Of Washington
whose hobby is astronomy.
Probably the meteor was travel
ing at about twenty miles a second,
or five or six times faster than a
rifle bullet. Doubtless it was. com
posed largely of iron and nickel. I
estimate it's diameter at yard and
its weight at from 100 to 200 pounds"

WISH soNNs GOOD LUCK

The farewell party for the F. ].
Bonn family, which had been planned
for Monday evening, July l6, on the
lawn at the Presbyterian church, was
called off on account of the critical
illness of the late Miss Alice Eng
lish. Friends and neighbors, however,
to the number of about one hundred
gathered informally at the Bonn home
on Monday evening of this week to
say goodbye and express their regret
at losing the family from the valley.
Mrs. F. E. Taylor sang two solos
which were much enjoyed, and w. j.
Kincaid as spokesman for the crowd
voiced the regret of all at losing
the Bonn family from the valley and
also presented three beautiful gifts as
token of esteem and to serve as re-
membrance of old friends here. Mr.
Bonn in a few words expressed his
appreciation of the sentiments that
had prompted the gifts, and extended
a cordial invitation to every one to
visit the family when they are settled
in their new home in Yakima.
