The death OF Prince Robinson, To-

the story Of the time his razor gashed

It seems that Marshall and q SEN

Warrington. April 24.-When Vice
President Curtis moved out Of his
quarters In the senate office building
and installed himself in the vice
presidential quarters In the capitol,
his old suite was promptly occupied
BY Senator George w. Norris OF Ne
bYaska.
It happens that the late Boise PEN
rose OF Pennsylvania had preceded
Curtis In the occupancy OF these
rooms. Now Penrose and Curtis were
about as conservative pair as any
ever found In Washington. And

MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY

Checking the Mediterranean fruit
fly on its first appearance in the con-
tinental United States is job which
will tax to the utmost the efforts Of
the federal and State entomologists
responsible for that work, says DR..
r. L. Webster, professor of Entom.
ology at Washington State College.
THAT the situation is most serious
is evidenced by recommendation
from President Hoover of an appro-
priation Of $4,25O000 to stamp out
the insect, which was recently detect
ed in the vicinity of Orlando, in the
citrus district Of Florida. Steps have
already been taken to clean up all in
vested orange groves and packing
plants in this vicinity
''The damage is caused by the mag
gots of the fruit fly, which hatch from
eggs deposited just below the surface
of tthe fruit and tunnel into the pulp
within. The insect has a long list Of
food plants, being recorded from no
less than II kinds Of fruits, mostly
tropical in nature. 1t is known, howev.
err, to attack deciduous fruits such as
apricots, peaches, and even apples and
pears.
"The Mediterranean fruit fly is cos
nopolitan in its distribution, but ur-
til this year had been carefully ex-
Guided from our ports by federal and
state inspectors. Although it gained
foothold in Hawaii as early as 1900;
the insect was found for the first time
in the continental United States only
few weeks ago"

TRYING TO ARRANGE BALL
GAME FOR THE FOURTH

Members of the various committee.
having the Fourth Of July celebration
in charge met Tuesday evening in
Legion hail to further discuss. the de.
tails. The Commercial; Club will have
charge Of the soft drink and ice
cream concession. Their stand will
be located at the. corner of the side
walk under the trees and north OF
Grange hall. The lunch concession
has not been decided yet but this
may be rented out if none of the local
civic organizations want to handle
it.
The plans are still TO make the day
one of rest and recreation featured
by big picnic dinner under the trees
and big dance in Grange hall in
the evening. Some Kind of program
of sports and contests for the pleas
ure Of the youngsters and the enter
tainmcnt of the grown-ups. such as
foot races and pie eating contests
will he PUT on but the details of this
program will not be worked out until
later.
There have also been many requests
tor ball game. To good many
people Fourth of July celebration
without baseball game is rather
dull affair and it is possible that a
game will be arranged between White
Bluffs and Hanford. This activity
will come under the Jurisdiction Of
the entertainment committee. C. 4.
Wright was appointed chairman,
Tueoday evening, of the entertain
ment committee, with the privilege
of naming as many others as he
deemed necessary for this phase of
the celebration.
An important point stressed at the
meeting Tuesday night was that the
celebration was not being sponsored
by any one organization but that the
three, the Grange, the Commercial
Club, ard the POST would combine i'll
s.,ouldering the Responsibilities to
make. the celebration SUCCESS.
There is to be no profit to any per-
son or organisation. Whatever the
proceeds are they will 60 into fund
to help finance the trip of the White
Bllffs band to the state American
Legion convention in Yakima some
time in August.

DENY EXTENSION

The PeStoffice Department has
turned down the petition of the up
river people for mail service by an
extension of the rural route out of
White Bluffs. This information was
contained in a communication from
Congressman John w. Summers en-
closing copy of letter from the
department to f1im.sTh principal rea-
son given for denying the petition
was the fact that the change would
involve an increase of 4l.35 miles in
the length Of the route with benefits
to only 3S families. This is out of
proportion Of the rule of the depart
ment, which provides for an average
of four families to the mile on rural
routes.
Unless some other change is made,
the Allard and Vernita people will
continue to get their mail by train
as at present. But the Cold Creek
residents, who have no postoffice
now, may try for better service.

SHIP FIRST CHERRY CAR

The first straight car of Bing cher.
ries ever to be shipped from this val
ley rolled Wednesday evening from
White Bluffs. The car was shipped
out by the 3-Rivers Growers associa-
ton and was billed to an Eastern
market.
While returns received this week
for Coast shipments have not been SO
good, the Eastern market appeared
strong and it is expected that the net
price to the growers who had cherries
in the car will be satisfactory, as the
quality was unusually good.
Cherries picked and packed here
the first of the week were trucked
to Kenrewick to make up cars being
clipped out of there and cherries
from from Kennewick were hauled to
White Bluffs to complete the car
shipped from here.
There will still be some cherries
left on the trees next Monday but
practically all of the commercial ship
ments were sent out this week.
