SAVED BY HIS YOUTH

s When he missed couple of his
traps on his line on the east side Of
the Columbia last Sunday, trapper
Wesley Robbins suspected where
they might have gone when he found
sheep tracks nesr. He ascertained
from M. M. Wiehl, White Bluffs
ferrynan, that band of sheep Of. the
Meyers Sheep company, on its way
from the summer range in the Ok
anogan country to Prosser, had
crossed the river here and Mr.. Rob-
bins, in company with Deuputy Sher-
iff lC,ate Grewell, followed, overtaking
them near Rattlesnake Springs. When
informed by Mr.. Robbins and Mr..
Grewell Of their mission, the six
teen year old .herdsr admitted he had
the traps and fished them out Of his
pack.
When he learned of the herders
youth and the fact that he was an
orphsn, Mr.. Robbins interceded for
him and upon Mr.. Meyers agreeing
to pay the costs, the youngster was
let off with lecture. ~
Stealing traps on laid out line
is 1penitentiary offence, carrying
upon conviction. sentence of five
years, Mr.. Robbins says.

WAREHOUSES; FINISHING
SEASONS PACKOU7

The seasons apple packout is
coming to an end The night crew, or
graveyard. shift" that has been
working for several weeks at the
White Bluffs Warehouse, was laid
off last Saturday and this house ex-
poets to finish the seasons run the
first of next week. The Horticultural
Exchange expects to wind up the
season about the middle of next week
while the Hawley and Heidemann-
Codding houses expect to finish up
either the last Of this week or the first
Of next.
The run this year has been long
one but on account of the scale and
wcrm damage, the total number of
packed boxes will probably be less
than in some of the other years.
With the exception of a few, all
of the help employed in the different
houses was local, which means that
a considerable part of the money paid
out for the packing of the fruit re-
mains in the community. This
amounts to quite, a sum and plays
its part in the prosperity of the
valley. 1t has been a long run for
the crews and they are glad that the
end is in sight for they feel that they
have earned Vacation.

READY TO 60 AGAIN

Joe Picatti was over from Yakima
last Saturday to hook up the motor
to the job press in the Spokesman
office. The new connection is the
very latest thing. The motor is now
anchored to the floor just i'll front
of the press. A. grooved pulley has
replaced the flat faced one with v
shaped belt operating through it and
over the fly wheel of the press it
makes very neat close hcok-up.
1t also does away with all of the old
unsightly belts and shafting and is
much more efficient, as there is not
near SO much loss by friction as under
the old connection. 1t is nice looking
job and the Spokesman is now again
ready to do all kinds of commercial
printing with the guarantee of a good
job and with price scale less than
in most city shops.

NEED ADVANCE POLICY

Fruit growers would be in bette
financial circumstances if they lla
an advance policy with regard t,
the disposal of their crop, accord
ing to r. E. Miller, regional manage
for the American Fruit Growers Inc
Says The Yakima Heard.
In short crop season they usually
store and make little money by
SO doing, while in years of a Ions
crop they again store and lose three
times as much as they made IN the
shctt crop season, he explained
Many orcllardists now carry heavy
mortgagcs on their properties be,
cause of such management.
For correct anal 1'ls of the
market situation we should use all
avai'abln figures which have a di?
rect bearing upon the situation"
said Mr.. Miller in discussing the
matter. "The important figures to
consider. are ~tllose which show the
amount Of fruit lon hand in the
United States still to be marketed
as compared with similar information
for previous years.
"The impression prevails in some
quarters that winter apples placed
in storage in prime condition will
advance in value and that long
haping varieties should alwkys Be
stored for later markets. This is
not by any means true and the
question of selling or storing must
be ,deterrainsd bys hareful lysis-4o OF
the general situation.
Prices of boxed apples, especially
extra and fancy Winesaps, medium
to large sizes, tend to advance
throughout the season along with
the usual decrease in holdings, and
the gradual addition of storage costs,
hut. in some seasons of heavy pro-
duction the rise does not occur.
'The advance for the seasons of
1917, 1918, 1919, 1870 and 1921 was
from IS to IS per cent a box. In
1918 there was boom with an adj
vance during this period of about
$1.50 box. bat in 1922 there YVES
no sustained rise and in 1923 sales
in March averaged rs cents lower
than during October, although it is
true that very late, in the spring a
few cars of the 1923 crop were sold
for somewhat higher prices than
could have been obtained at harvest
time, but it was only a very small
portion of the entire crop and should
not be given too great consideration
with reference to the marketing of
Tie crop as whole.
"We also distinctly remember the
severe decline in values of the last
part Of the 1925 crop, and there are
many who will never forget the bad
break downward in the cleanup of
the 1927 crop. In this latter in
stance the storage policy of many
shippers and growers resulted in
heavy storage holdings with the con-
scquent result Of making long crop
out Of what was originally a short
one, and ruinous prices in the end
Only in 1918 and 1921 YVES there a
wclE E.sustained, noticeable advance.
In the first mentioned case the
advance was the result, | believe, OF
he reorening of the export trade
md in 1921 the advance wsD ap-
,arent'y the result Of tie failure of
he eastern crop"

BOY SCOUTS PLAN
ENTERTAINING EVENING

"Jerry's Job," the Boy Scout play
to be given in the high school
auditorium Wednesday evening, No
vember 2S, with several features that
will be introduced, promises an even
ing Of rare entertainment, according
to those sponsoring the show.
The story of the play concerns
Tommy, an office boy of a con
struction company, who is careless
in his work. Jerry West, a Boy
Scout, calls and asks for a job. Tom
is caught in lie and is discharged,
Jerry taking his place. The latter
is left in charge of the office and
while he is answering the phone
vengeance is taken by Tom, who
spills ink on the drawing and breaks
the glass on picture of which Mr..
Morton, the manager of the COM
pany, is very proud. Caught in the
act Of breaking the picture, and after
short struggle, Tom falls, cutting
his wrist on the glass, and the rest
OF the story deals with how his
regeneration is effected.
The cast is:
Mr.. Morton, manager, ....... Dudley
Wilkinson
Mr.. Hamilton, assistant, Jack O'Larey
Tommy, office boy, Earl Wade
Jerry, Boy Scout, Elmer Larson
jenkins, a drsughtsman, Gilbert
Walker
In addition to the play several
short skits, including a Bathing
Beauty contest and a one round
boxing contest, will be given.
For the past year the Boy Scouts
have been handicapped by a lack of
funds and the show is being given
in order to raise enough money to
carry on executive work for the
White Bluffs troop.
The boys are working very hard
to make. the entertainment a real
success and are hoping for large
turnout at their show The Admission
will be Is cents.
