Registration So Far Way
Short of 100 Per Cent

Although there was little squirt
lately, the number of voters in the
White Bluffs precinct who have regis
tered is still far below the actual num-
Der who are otherwise eligible to vote
A check of the books this morn
ing showed less than 200 had regis
tered. The number of eligible voters in
the precinct should range somewhere
between 300 and $50.
The books will be open for regis
tration until Tuesday, August %, when
they will be closed against registration
until after the primary election on
September 10. They will be open again
on September IA and will remain open
until October 10, when they will be
closed until after the general election

Baseball Season
Closes Next Sunday

The baseball game scheduled for
last Sunday between White Bluffs and
Locust Grove on the latter's grounds,
was called off and the game forfeited
to White Bluffs Because Of the heavy
work in the orchards, the Locust Grove
team disbanded for the season last
week
Under the league schedule, White
Bluffs has one more game to play this
season, that against Vale at Richland
next Sunday. If White Bluffs and Han
ford win their games next Sunday they
will be tied for first and second places
in the league standing. If play-off
is necessary, it is probable the game
will be played as a part of the en-
tertainment at the Grange picnic and
celebration in White Bluffs the Fourth
Of July

and story of the states contribution to
the historical and industrial develop
ment of America will be broadcast to
the country
The occasion will be the dedication

Of the snow in the upper part of the
Columbia river watershed and as a
result the flow in the stream has been
increasing steadily for several days.
The measuring gauge at the pumping
plant at Coyote Rapids this, Thursday,
morning showed a mark of 524 feet.
This is 16 feet more than the high
mark reached in May but is still be-
low the point reached in three of the
seasons in the last twenty years. In
1913 it was 5277 feet, in 1916 it was
1924 feet and III 1928, it reached
5286 feet, according to Sam Allard,
in charge of the pumping plant at
Coyote.
Lots of driftwood was running Mon
day and Tuesday but the heavy wind
Wednesday apparently blew the wood
to the shores as the river was prac-
tically clear this morning. Mr.. Allard
said the amount of drift running at
2::3O am Wednesday morning was the
greatest he had ever SEEN The view
from the pumping plant at that hour,
he said, caused it to appear to be pos
sible to walk across the river without
Wetting ones feet.

Prospects for Peach
Growers Look Bright

The 1882 peach crop in the state of
Washington will total 1,335,000 bushels
as compared to 1,05O,O0O bushels in
1881 and $4,000 in 1880, according to
the June l estimate of the U. S. De-
apartment of Agriculture.
But while substantial increase Is
indicated in this state, the peach crop
in the nation will fall far below the
1881 crop and is less than that mar
keted in 1880. The total yield in the
United States for 1882 is estimated at
48,927,000 bushels compared with IT,
743,O 900 bushels in 1881 and 53,864,000
bushels in 1880.
All of the western states, including
Washington, Oregon, California, Utah,
and Colorado, promise crop much
larger than last year while the south
ern peach states such as Georgia, Tex
as, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia,
Maryland and Missouri and the Caro-
linas will market far less than in 1881.
The pear yield in the nation for
1882 is estimated at 81, 487,000 bushels
against 100000 bushels in 1881 and
Is, $4,000 bushels in 1890 In Wash
ington crop of $4,000 bushels is
indicated in the June l survey COM
pared with yield of 3,650,000 bushels
in 1881 and 4463,OO0 bushels in 1880.
The same crop conditions that exist
in regard to peaches prevail as to
pears, with the western states gen.
orally promising substantial increase
in yield over 1881 while much small
er crop is indicated in the southern
states.

Othello Is Winner
In Golf Tournament

Othello golfers won the tournament
held on the White Bluffs course last
Sunday by an easy margin winning
ten of the twelve matches to run up
total of 70 less strokes than the
local golf club Low score of the match
was made by Mittelstadt, of Othello,
with total of II. Low man for the
local club was A. M. Rollinger, who
turned in card of 80.
Sunday the local team again plans
to participate in tWo-team tourna-
ment, this time going to Prosser with
group of approximately sixteen men.
While plans have not yet been COM
pleted for the day, it is expected that
a picnic will be enjoyed by those going
over from here at the park in Prosser.

NEXT SPRAY SHOULD BE
COMPLETED BY JUNE %

The next cover spray should be COM
pleted by June %. Cooling moth &C
tivity has greatly increased during the
past week of hot weather. Many new
worms are attempting to enter the
fruit. Do not allow more than 10 days
to elapse since the last spray was APP
piled. In orchards where there was a
heavy worm infestation last season the
use of combination oil-lead arsenate
should be used at this time, as it will
aid greatly in controlling the worms,
migratory scale, red spider, and rust
mite.
Thorough coverage of the fruit is es-
sential to effective control.

Letters to Canada Must
Carry Sufficient Postage

Don't be surprised, if you are one of
those forgetful folks who can't remem-
Der that letters to Canada now take
three cents postage instead of two, as
formerly, if your correspondents some
times miss receiving your letters. No
letter is dispatched from the local
postoffice to Canadian address any
longer unless it has the postage fully
prepaid: Three cents on letter and
two cents on a postcard. Letters that
do not bear the return of the sender
are sent to the Dead Letter office. In
cases where the letter is insufficiently
prepaid but bears return address on
the envelope, the sender is notified
That, however, means delay, SO if you
want your letter to go, and 60 quickly,
put on the three cents postage.

Ships First
Early Apples
TRANSPARENTS FROM MCFEE
RANCH FIRST OF SEASON ON
SEATTLE MARKET

The first state grown Yellow Trans
parent apples of the season to arrive
on the Seattle market were shipped
Tuesday night by John McFee of White
Bluffs. The news was treated in front
page story in the Wenatchee World and
was also mentioned by other daily pa
pers in the state. The apples sold for
$1.25 per crate.
Other small shipments have been
made by r. D. Barge and other growers
since, but the real Transparent harvest
in this valley will not get underway
until next week.
Many of the Transparent orchards
in this valley are young but the crop
this year promises to be of fair size
and quality
The apricot harvest will soon begin
and the first shipments of the season
will probably overlap the cleanup of
the early apples.
The Bling cherry harvest for the sea-
son reached its peak about the middle
of the week and it is likely the COM
mercial crop will be off the trees and
on it's way to market by Sunday.
No straight cars were shipped from
the valley this year. A certain amount
of the tonnage was trucked to Ken
neWick for carload shipments from
that point and the rest of the crop
was sent out either by express or in
mixed cars.
The yield was only fair but the quail
ty especially from the younger or
chards, was good. There are a number
of these younger cherry orchards in the
valley that are just coming into bear
ing and in few years most of the
tonnage will go out in car lots. The
price to the growers for the season
ranged between cents and Is cents
per pound.

Coast Weather and Prices
Much the Same as Ours

Believing that it might be of interest
to have the viewpoint Of the "depres-
sion" from the west side of the noun
tains, also the temperature on the
Coast during the recent warm days, D.
S. Baker of Cold Creek has sent the
Spokesman the following letter he re-
ceived the first of the week from the
editor of the Times, at Arlington, Mr..
Bakers old home:
"You may be interested to know that
the thermometer here yesterday touch
ed 90 and at this writing 11:30 ann
stands at Sc degrees. This is our first
warm weather, it having been cold and
cloudy until now.
1--WE have very fine strawberry crop,
but prices are extremely low boxes
for 25 cents today. The outlook as to
the raspberry market is better, how
ever.
This certainly is a difficult season
for farmers as they are unable to pro-
cure profit producing price for any
of their products. The dairy farmers,
with milk selling at IS cents per hun
bred, are especially hard hit
However while there has been no
actual upturn, feel very hopeful that
we are going to see an upturn in bust
ness this fall, as it seems that defla-
ton has about run it's course"
