representative OF the bureau. who
has been in the Valley the past
three weeks preparing such recon-
Mendations.
MIR. Leigh expressed the opinion
that citrus fruit grades for the VAL
lev could be worked ont before the
latter part Of March and put into
effect before the close Of the snip
ping season. II this can be done.
he said, il will assure a good start
~ establishing grades for the 1929

Much interest has been aroused
among shippers and growers, and
full cooperation Is being extended
In every part Of the Valley in con-
ncction with the collection of data
upon which Mr.. Leigh's recommended
tionS will be based.
Il believe practically every ship
per and grower appreciates the
value of L. S. grades" he said. The
cooperation extended would ndi-
cate the Valley is practically unani-
nous in regard to the necessity OF
fixing grades for citrus fruit, and
i am confident such grades will
prtge invaluable not only in pro-
tecsing the Valley shippers but also
in promoting production Of more
marketable fruit.

adopted with such modification as

and If the Valley grades vary to any

that this would cause more or lers

The Florida grades were estab-
lished several years ago, and are

pers assert that II the grades for

rate that any reversal OF the GER

is very rare.
In this respect it would prove Of
material advantage to both n grow
ing and shipping interests Of the
Valley, shippers state. Receivers

the federal inspector. There would
be no opportunity for the receiver
10 refuse acceptance upon the basis
that the ordered grade had not been

Florida's Experience
Practically all Florida fruit is
shipped under U. S. grades. During
the years that have elapsed since
grades were established, there has
been a steady. consistent improve
ment in appearance of fruit and also
the pack. Practically all orders are
for grades and the packing plants
are demanding fruit that meets the
requirements specified by the re-
c~eivers. Also, establishment Of the
grades has created considerable riv-
airy among producers and shippers
with respect to providing the trade
high quality and good pack.
At the meeting Of growers IN
Mercedes Thursday. the necessity for
the establishment Of grades was en-
phasized by several speakers, and at
a previous meeting the work Of the
division of Standardization n
grades received unanimous approval.
Growers and shippers have indicated
that the grades will be applied as
soon as available, and are expected
TO be generally adopted by Valley
shippers before opening Of the 1879
80 shipping season. In the event an
extension Of the shipping season TO
April | is secured. it is very prob
able an opportunity will be given
this season to give the grading sys-
TEN a thorough try-out.

that in the small years of the following cycle (19O2, 1903 and 19O4), in spite of the increased amount of gear employed, the pack was cut in half, while the SpaWning-beds at the same time were but sparsely seeded.
 The inevitable and and dis astrouS trend of events should have been evident to the dull est. But the parties in interest refused to hold their hands and proceeded with the slaughter of the spawning remnant"
 Turning now to the decline in the runs of the big years. The records are equally clear. AS already stated, the sockeye runs in the big years 1897, 1901, 1905, 1909 and 1913 produced an aver age pack of 1,777,585 cases, and it should be noted that the catches on both sides of the line in 1901 and 1905 exceeded the the canning capacity and sev- eral millions of fish were wasted.
 Up to and including 1913 the packs in the big year show no evidence of an overdrain on the

spawning runs. The B. c. Fish cries report for 1913, shows that the escapement that year was as great, if not greater than in the preceding big year, 19O9- the brood year of the 1913 run. But that report also shows that the escapement in 1913 met with disaster and that compara- lively few sockeye reached the spawning beds that year, with the result that four years later -1917-the pack fell to 559, ,732 cases, or close to TT per cent less than in 1913.
 The eScapement in 1913 did not reach the spawning beds for the reason that the rivers chan nel above Yale-knOWn as HellS c a t e Canyon-W vas virtually closed to the passage of fish by a great rock slide Millions of fish that had escaped capture and reached the obstruction in Fell's Gate Canyon were unable to pass over it, notwithstanding that strenuous efforts were made to enable them to do so. After frantic and continuous

 tion the fish became exhausted and were swept downstream, where they died without spawn ing. The Report of the B. c. Fisheries Department for 1913 deals eXhauStively in both text and illustration with the dis aster to the escapement in 1913. That report shows that the number of sockeye that reached the spawning beds above Hell's Gate Canyon in 1913 was less than an eighth of the number that reached the beds in 1909. This is made manifest by brief reference to the spawning beds reports for 1909 and 1913. In 1909 four million adult sockeye were counted as they entered QueSnel Lake, one of the great lakes in the Fraser basin above HelIS Gate. In 1913 similar count records that only 50O,OO0 entered that lake. The spawn ing report of the B. c. Fisheries Department for 1913 concludes With the following words: "The foregoing statements warrant the conclusion that the number of sockeye that spawned in the Fraser watershed this year was not sufficient to make the run four years hence even approxi- mate the runs of either 1905, 1909 or 1913." The accuracy of that forecast and the disastrous effects of the 1913 blockade were made manifest on the fish ing grounds in 1917. Notwith- standing that far more fisher men and more fishing gear were employed and a much higher price paid for the fish on both sides of the line in 1917, the to- tai catch produced a pack of but 559,732 cases, as against D. 302 805 cases in 1913
 From then on conditions be- came even worse. Had the six

Harrison was accused of "bawling

Porter Is Insulted
When You Tip Him,
Labor Speaker Says

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August believe
it or not, every time you tip a
Pullman porter, you insult him.
That was declared Sunday at
a mass meeting of porters here.
The acceptance of gratuitieS,
speakers said, Is conducive to an
attitude of servility, and tends to
create an inferiority complex on
the part of the recipient.
And another thing. Since the
tipping evil has been condemned,
the porterS assert they can't get
along on their present wage of
$77.50 a month.

HOOT GIBSON NOW
 SHOWING AT PALACE

A breath king, hair-ralslng, cross-country horse race-love and comedy and pathos-are a few of the outstanding features of The Wild West Show the Universal production starring Hoot Gibson which opened at the Palace theatre last night for a three-day run.
 With Hoot, the rough-riding faV- orite of the screen, as the star one may be assured of picture that is crowded with thrills, for this in itself is sufficient guarantee of sec ing action in regular he-man fash ion.
 Hoot plays the role of hard boiled buckaroo who must start ac- tion where things seem peaceful ano he does that aplenty. When he started things at small town cir GUS and then later joined it tc work for the girl he loves, he doc! some of the best comedy of hls career on the screen. His side kick, Monte Montague, as a circus clown, does his share to keep th' audience in a continual uproar.
 In dainty and petite Dorothy Gulliver, Hoot has been given leading lady whose work is certain to meet with the approval of an! movie fan.
