REJECT WHITE BLUFFS OFFER

4
The town council Of the city of
Prosser, at a meeting Tuesday
evening, voted three to one to ac-
cept the offer made by White Bluffs
for their chemical engine and truck.
An ordinance, however, provides
that in transactions of this kind
four or more. or a majority Of the
whole council Of seven members,
must vote in the affirmative for the
motion to carry; and, as there
were only four members present at
the meeting and one Of them cast a
negative vote. the motion was lost.
After the action Of the council,
the committee of White Bluffs cit
izens withdrew the check that they
had posted to bind their offer, and
the deal is off. for the preEent at
least.

LIKES THIS VALLEY

Paul Mitchell of the U.S.S. Col
orado was a guest Sunday at the
]. B. Tromanhsuser home. He was
taken for a trip over the valley by
Mr.. and Mrs. Tromanhauser and was
evidently much impressed with what
he saw, for before leaving he said:
"My visit to White Bluffs for a
brief survey of the valley has left
vivid impressions on my mind. My
international travelings during the last
20 years took me to nearly every
important country in the world. Some
twenty years ago l was at Assouan,
Egypt with my father who was one
of the architects that drew the plans
for the big dam there that cost the
British government nearly $50,00O,O00
and from which the impounded water
made vast deserts living paradises,
and converted Egypt into one of the
leading producers of cotton and to-
bacco..
II want to say to you, and make
| it as strong as can, that you have
here 100 per cent better proposition
and, once you organize and the gov
eTIment DulldS the Gam at PrleSt
Rapids, you will have valley second
to none and California and Florida
will have to take back seat.
"When I return from my present
trip, which will take me to Central
and South America 1 expect to dis
pose of my holdings in Southern Cal
ifornia and invest and make my home
in White Bluffs"
MIR. Mitchell said he is president
and helped to organize the Balkan
States Enterprise Corporation" a
100000 concern that has heavy in
vestments in Southern California.

TWO new BULLETINS ON
SPRAY RESIDUE REMOVAL

Two agricultural experiment station
bulletins Of interest to fruit farmers oi
Washington have just been published
by the college press. One is entitled
"Arsenical Spray Residue and Its Re-
moval from Apples and Pears" and
the other "The Removal of Spray Re-
sidre from Apples and Pears in
Washington State"
Three general cleaning methods
have been developed as result of ex-
perience and investigation SO far car
ried, according to the authors. These
are: dry cleaning or wiping, hydroch-
loric-acid washing, and washing with an
alkaline solution. The commercial ex-
perience and experimental wcrk of the
1927 fruit packing season demonstra-
ted that it is possible to. clean fruit
chemically with little injury to it's ap-
pearence and storage quality, provided
suitable precautions are used and pre-
per methods employed, the bulletins
state.-
.'The dry cleaning methods are
most efficient on smooth skinned var
ieties such as Winter Banana" ac-
cording to the horticulture experts.
"Dry cleaning has been effective in
polishing fruit greatly improving its
appearance and narketability. In dis
tricts and orchards which have not re-
ce.ved more than two early cover
sprays, such equipment will generally
clean the fruit sufficiently to meet the
requirements of the pure food law.
Where late snraying OF. more than two
cover. sprays are. necessary. dry
cleaning is not dependable and clean
ing in solutions of hydrochloric acid
or in a1kali solutions becomes neces-
sary."
The first bulletin covers the details
OF extensive experimental work on
spray removal and summarized results
obtained for the last two years. The
authors are DR.. F. D. Head, DR.. J. R.
Neller, and F. L. Overley The sec
ond bulletin is by DR.. ]. R. Magness,
Mr.. Overley, Dr.. Head, D.. Neller.
and D. F. Fisher, and H. C. Diehl Of
the Bureau 81 Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, and
summarizes ia popular form the best
available information on spray re-
rnoval to date.

EXPECT POWER RATE
DECISION IN 60 DAYS

The state department. of public
works hearing of the Yakima Walla
Walla districts rate case against the
Pacific Power & Light company
was concluded in the Yakima Cham
Der of Commerce auditorium on
Wednesday of last week.
Briefs will be submitted by oppos-
ing counsel before the department
undertakes a decision. Hugh M.
Caldwell of Seattle, attorney for the
districts rate comm ssion said he
would have his brief ready for the
department within 80 days after the
transcript of the hearing is fur
nished him. John A. Laing of Port
land, company vice president and
chief counsel, then announced his
answering brief would be submitted
within 80 days after he received
Caldwells brief
John c.. Denny, department di-
rector, and c. Rea Moore, super
visor of public utilities, who heard
the testimony, intimated that the
action would be up for decision
shortly after the briefs are filed.
The contract under which the
Pacific Power & Light company
buys electric energy from the Wash
ington Water Power Company of
Spokane for distribution in the Yaki-
ma-Walla Walla district was the
principal subject of contention. The
company concentrated its counter
attack on isst.es raised by the district
relative to the contract, which, the
district witnesses declared, was largely
responsible for the high rates charged
the consumers in the territory.
Under the present contract, which
expires in 1910, the respondent COM
rany pays SIS horse power year
for the delivery of electric energy at
Lind. Kenneth G. Harlan of Ia
coma, rate expert for the district and
its leading witness, held that the price
should be nearer $40 a horsepower.
That was what the Spokane Corpora
ton charged the Puget Sound Power
& Light company in 1925 for surplus
energy on day to day basis. 1t al
SO is the price provided in new,
three-year contract consummated on
Tuesday with the Seattle utility, and
was the price paid by the Inter
Mountain Power company several
ye,rs ago and until it was bought
out lock, stock and barrel by the
Wash ngton Water Power company
he said.
None of the three contracts is COM
parable to the existing agreement be-
tween the Pacific Power & Light
company and the Spokane utility
power company witnesses testified.

FILES FOR JO,MT-sENATOR

+ w. L. Dirnii1ick, who served for
years as a county commissioner in
Yakima county and who was one of
of the two state representatives from
the county in the last legislature, was
visitor in White Bluffs Tuesday.
Mr.. Dimnick has filed for joint
senator for Yakima and Benton
counties, subject to the republican
primaries in September. He is
farmer, his farm being located near
Wapato, where he raised hay and
potatoes and feeds large number
OF cattle in the winter. He was a
resident of Benton county before it
was created, living near Prosser and
was also at Kennewick for a short
time in the early days when the sage
brush was being cleared from. much
of the land that is now being farmed
there.
D. v. Morthland, who served these
two counties as joint-senator during
the last two terms, will not be a
candidate this year and Mr.. Dinmick
filed for the office only after several
delegations of neighbors and friends
had insisted upon his being can
didate.
Because of his long residence in the
district and the fact that he is a
farmer, MIR. Dimnick and his friends
feel that he will be we'll qualified to
fill the office and to vote intelligent
ly on pending measures, particularly
those pertaining to agriculture.
During the time that he was county
commissioner in Yakima county, Mr..
Dirnmick was responsible for initial
ing the preliminary work for the
splendid highway in Yakima county
from Mckee to the Yakima-Benton
county line west of Cold Creek and
to him is due large measure Of the
credit for the building of that high
way.
Mr. Dirnrnick was accompanied
ever here Tuesday by ]. E. Marble,
at present a county commissioners in
Yakima county and candidate on
TIE republican ticket for one Of the
representatives from that county this
fall.

WASHINGTON'S TASK

February % marks the 196th anniversary Of
George Washington's birth and the annual obser
vance of that important date calls forth the usua
eulogies and discussions which serve to keep his
memory fresh in the minds and hearts of his coun
trymen.
But the ordinary birthday orarion generally
fails to bring out many of the striking features of
Washington's truly remarkable His achieve
ments duly stressed, but the seemingly insur-
mountabe obstacles which he had to meet are sell
dom given the attention they deserve, except pos
sibly the story of Valley Forge.
1t was Washington's lot to create an army out
of most unpromising material; to supply and feed
it from the most meager resources; to- withstand
the vicious attacks upon his policies and character
by the Infamous Conway Cabal," which sought to
depose him commander-inchief in favor of Gates,
and to be hampered by antagonistic public clamor
and the impotence of the fugitive Congress"
His burdens were further increased by the diff
cuties Of recruiting, the treachery of Lee at the
battle of Monmouth the treason of Benedict Arnold
a revolt by Pennsylvania troops at Morristown and
by part of the New Jersey contingent
In spite of all these and many other trying
conditions, Washington pressed with grim de-
termination until the arrival of aid from France in
177S pressaged final victory.
After independence had been won, fresh troubles
arose through dissatisfaction among the unpaid
troops which led them to form plan to overthrow
Congress and erect new government plan
which sternly repressed by Washington The
breakdown of the government under the Articles of
Confederation brought Washington from his re-
tirement to take the lead in establishing a more
stable system under present constitution and to
President for eight years, during which he
faced violent opposition at various times.
The true measure of Washington's greatness,
I,oI h,4.&
wolves also the almost insuperable obstacles which
he overcame in its accomplishment When these
known and understood, we may form more
adequate conception of his tremendous task.

A. J. ROCKNE BECOMES
SENATORIAL CANDIDATE

The filing of A. J. Rockne, Zumbrota lawyer,
as candidate for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator Wednesday of last week,
somewhat complexities the situation, but gives the
party two high class men from which to make Sc
lection, the other being already in the in the
person of Ex-Mayor Arthur Nelson, of st. Paul.
Former Governor Burnquist has filed but he will be
a negligible quantity after the votes counted.
Mr.. Rockne has been member of the Mime
sofa legislature for quarter of century. He
served speaker of the House and for about Is
years had been a member of the Senate. With the
possible exception of Eeut-Gov. w. l. Nolan he is
the best posted parlamentarian in the Legislature
He has served chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate for a decade more, and
perhaps is we'll posted Minnesota and her
needs any IN the State. He is thoroughly
posted the theory of Government; is hard
fighter and his integrity is unquestoned. He has not
the personal magnetism of Mr.. Nelson, being more
of the Knute Nelson type of statesman. AS resi-
dent of the country he will be able to get the view
point of the rural citizen.
The campaign between Senator Rockne and
Mr.. Nelson should, and doubt will be conducted
on high plane that the winner can have the
support of united party the general election in
November.

HERBERT HOOVER ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

Herbert Hoover is avowed candidate fol
the Republican nomination for the Presidency.
He made his announcement Monday in letter
to an Ohio leader when he gave his to enter
his name at the Ohio primaries.
His announcement is clothed in simple, straight.
forward language in which he urges rigid economy
and strict accountability in campaign expenditures
His campaign will be entirely in the hands Of his
friends as he will continue to administer the very
important affairs of the Secretary of Commerce
His letter follows:
81 have received through you and others,
requests from very many Republicans of Ohio,
that ] permit my name to be entered in the
presidential primaries Of that state" the let
to Colonel Brown said.
81 do So" he added, laconcally.
l shall be deeply honored by whatever sup
port the people of Ohio may decide to give me
be glad to serve the American people through
the Republican party in any way tnat can in
finding constructive solution to the many prob
lens which confront country.
"My conviction that should not strive for
the nomination, and my obligations as secre-
tary of commerce preclude me from making
any personal campaign. / must rely wholly
upon my friends in Ohio to conduct. it, and to
conduct it in fair manner ana with stead
fast regard for Republican success in the state
and in the nation
at is my special desire that expenditure of
money shall be limited strictly and accounted
for rigidly.
III the greatest trust winch can De given Dy
people should come to me, should consider
it my duty to carry forward the principles of
the Republican party and the great objectives
of President Coolidge's policies-all of which
have brought to our country such a high de-
gree of happiness, progress and security
Mr. Hoover's entry into the Ohio campaign
was made reluctantly as Senator Willis, of the
Buckeye State is an avowed candidate for the nom.
nation. 1t is expected that Hoover's friends car
elect ten or more of the 81 delegates in the home
state of "favorite SON."
