1t is hard for us living here in the Priest Rapids
valley to imagine conditions they through
out the northwest and in the middle west at this
time.
Floods, billiards. and other catastrophes have
been reported from all sections of the country dur
ing the past few weeks. Large property damage
has resulted, number Of people have lost their
lives and livestock have been drowned in large
quantities.
Here in the Priest Rapids valley the weather
has been mild and, except for high winds during
last week, there has been sign of Mother Ma
ture's disp]easure Even the Winds which are the
most violent phase of the weather hereabouts are
moderate in comparison with the winds expert
enced in other sections of the northwest.
There are other reasons why this valley is a
favored one. Not only is the district immune from
calamity caused by unfavorabe weather, but
nature has created a district here where crops
mature from ten days to two weeks ahead Of those
in other sections of the northwest. The longer
growing season and the hot summer produce
better quality fruit and vegetable.
AS regards irrigation water for crops-that
prime requisite OF any agricultural section of the
west-ths valley is most Fortunate Landowners
Of the irrigation district here have perpetual water
rights from the Columbia rivera river which
during the life of man will never go dry Then too,
the local irrigation district has the distinction of
being of the only two irrigation districts in the
United States which own power plants and which
receive all the revenue from excess power sold
after pumping needs have been met.
This advantage in itself is enough to give
this district preeminence among the irrigated sec
lions of the west.
Truly, the people in this valley have much to be
thankful for and in looking ahead to the future,
prospects for this locality exceedingly bright.

Another new year is just around the corner And
what it will bring, no can trl1thfully say.
Could we ahead into the next fifty-two weeks,
what events would we see there-new develop
ments in the world of finance of art of politics, of
industry?
The twelve months just past were among the
worst in many years, During the winter months
of 1893 business reached the lowest point of the
depression business houses were forced to close
all banks in the nation cosed to save the
credit of the country, and the value of old stan
dards found wanting
It was also year of new hope however. Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, coming into office as president of
the United States when conditions were at the ebb,
Immediately took hold; gave new life to industry
and farming, and restored the faith of the people
in their government.
That the people were in sympathy with him
was evident at once from the manner in which
they hailed him as an outstanding leader and aided
him in every possible way.
To say that the year 1884 will be year of re-
newed prosperity would be no prophecy it has
already come to pass. Already business conditions
have imroved and farm markets have shown every
indication that growers will receive profit for
their produce in 1884.
New hope, new faith, and renewed detremina-
ton will make 1884 happy year.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1933-12-28

The Spokesman greets you this week for the
last time in 1888. We are sure that conditions in
1884 will be greatly improved, and hope to do our
part in improving local conditions.
There is great deal to be done in the way Of
development in this valley that can not be accom-
plished by federal agencies. Only the combined de-
termination and efforts Of every one of us
complish this.
We believe that the construction of the remain
ing link Of the Vernita-V Vantage road would do
much to bring better prices to growers of early
fruits and vegetables here. The cost of irrigation
water and other costs in the production Of fruit
and vegetables should be reduced if growers here
are to receive profit in the years to come.
We hope that the Spokesman has been of in
terest and of service to you during the past year
and will do all in power to increase it's value to
you during the coming year.

New York, May 8.-Five circus press

ITCH SALYE FOR RUM BLOSSOM
ACNE

Acne rosacea Is the familiar red
nose Of dyspeptics and alcoholics, says
Prof. Pussy in his famous textbook
on Dermatology.
Don't mind conceding that most OF
the cases I have seen have been in
persons who had excellent digestion
and didn't know the taste Of rum,
booze, light wines, ale, beer or Ticker.
For that matter, look at my nose.
From time to time physicians have
noticed the common presence In the
mouth of the sebaceous or oil duct
microscopic parasite, q mite about
one-tenth the size Of the old fashion,
ed itch mite. This mite which may
be found in the material expressed
from a comedone (blackhea0 by
microscopic examination Is rarely alb
sent-it has been found in the sebace-
Gus ducts of infants a few days old.
Although it is formidable looking
little animal under the microscope,
physicians have generally regarded 1t
as a normal and harmless inhabitant.
Once in a while some physician as
serts his belief that the little mite,
called demodex folliculorum, Is the
cause of some skin trouble. Thus 1t
has been held accountable in certain
cases of fermentation or brownish
spots of the skin of face or neck and
front of the chest, such spots being
usually due to a different parasite, a
fungus that grows in the form of
spores and threads. Again the de-
modex or Acarus folliculorum, only
one-tenth the size of the itch mite
(Acarus scabieD which is barely visible
to the naked eye, has been held &C
countable for some little warty cysts
or wens in the skin resembling those
commonly seen in the skin trouble
called molluscum.
Now Drs. Samuel Ayres and Nelson
P. Anderson, Los Angeles skin special
lists, report that they have obtained
highly satisfactory results In the
treatment of many cases Of acne
rosacea and pityriasis folliculorum, in
which the demodex mite was found In
large numbers, with an ointment
commonly used for scabies Gold fash
Toned itch).
Such ointment is composed Of 2
parts Of betanaphthol, 4 parts Of sub
lined sulphur, is parts of balsam OF
peru and Is parts Of petrolatum.
Many patients who declared their
skin was so sensitive 1t would not
stand even a scrubbing with green
soap or even plain soap and water,
have nevertheless obtained excellent
results from this salve after using it
for week or two. The affected skin
should be washed thoroughly with
soap and water every night, and the
ointment applied for only three sue
cessive nights. It produces consider
able redness and slight peeling, but
this subsidies after several days. The
three day ointment treatment may be
repeated in the second and again in
the third week II necessary.
In reporting their observation to the
profession these specialists point out
that only cases In which the de-
modex is found by microscopic exam
ination should have such treatment.

rent in Chicago where a fight is being
waged for control Of various labor
unions.
These unions are strong organiza-
tions and some Of them have not been
above using terroristic tactics In deal
ing with "scab" labor, but they have
proved unable to cope with the threats
and overt acts of criminals who see In
them easy opportunities to fortune.
Most susceptible to this sort OF
gangster control are those unions
whose members work alone and in
isolated places, hence the teamster
and milk-wagon unions have been the
first to fall prey to such domination.
They are most susceptible to ruthless
gang tactics.
The man driving wagon knows
that he would be easy prey for any
gangster who wanted to turn loose a
machine gun as he drove along a
street, that he would be no match
for any gang which wished to wreck
his conveyance and beat him into in
sensibility.
Another phase of racketeering is
that which threatens mans Job un-
less he submits to extortion. This
sort Of thing requires place, power and
influence and the ability to make
good, just as the thug must prove his
ability to do damage. But the effect
Is the same and the offense is no less

canker sores Of American life. The

sooner the country can lay claim to
being really a land Of equal oppor-
tunity In the true American tradition.
