myself into anemia, SO you can
go to masSeuSeS and dressmakers

to read me or remember what 1
wrote. HOwja like that column
1 did yesterday?-everybOdy in
towns talking about it. Mrs.
ROOSevelt'S Secretary's assistant
sent me a personal note about it.
She hadn't read that either?
GOOdgOdawmighty! A fellow who
wrote a column was a dam fool
to be married:
They must have had high
hopes, these beautiful creatures,
whom the world knows as the
wives of Broadway columnists. I
know only one of them init.
mately-her husband was an OBJ
scure, underpaid acting city edi.
tor of a small Connecticut news
paper when she wed him. She
had no delusionS at the time
that he would ever make more
than a bare living-but she was
probably content. 1 know less
of the wives of the other lads
but in most cases, their husbands
were not columnistS when they
married them. The probability
is no Broadway columnist would
have had the type of wife that
he has had he been. Yet having
taken him, for better or for
worse, she holds her head high,
and bravely, almost defiantly,
admits when the accusation is
made, the truth-her husband
runs the Broadway column. That
takes courage, that takes genuine
loyalty. It's even harder on the
poor children of columnists
whose every new tooth, report
card, and childish idiosyncrasy
is shamelessly barred to the
world by columnistic papas
whom they rarely see-exposed
for the sake of a line or a para
graph.
I sing to you then of a sacrl-
ficing, fine type of womanhoOd
the wife of the cOlumnist. A
SOft-hearted, tolerant woman who
cringes inwardIy every time her
dyspeptic husband pOurs out his
personal venom in a column, who
fails to understand why the
gentle, gOOd-natured man she
married has SO completely
changed since accident thrust
him at the helm of a Broadway
department-whO is the first to
suffer from his insufferable ego
tiSm, his churIish calIOusnesS, his
apparent indifference to the
niceties and COnventions-and
who, in spite Of that, clingS
loyalty and uncOmpIainingly-
and who goes on understanding
and understanding!

An Aspiring Critic

Bert B. Owen, of 10 K st. N. W.,
is another reader ready to knock
the chip off the shoulder. His ex-
tended remarks anent dramatic
critics are too long for reproduc-
ton here.
The sum of his argument is that
there are no dramatic critics in
the United States, and his field of
vision, of course, includes Wash
ington. His remedy for this would
be his own appointment to a criti-
cal desk and he is frank about his
ambition. It's a new way to ap-
ply for a job and I admire his
freshman enthusiasm, even though
not in a position to encourage it.
If he ever does WELD a bludgeon
on the drama or screen, I would
like to return the letter he sent
to the department, so that he
might personally see how a point
of view can be changed.

for her to do an unscrupulous
romantic trick. She swindles Will
liam Powell. who likes to play
the sweetheart field, into an un-
willing marriage. Then she makes
him like it. You see it is the
Harding theory that marriage is
a business and love is merely an
emotion. To prove her pet theory
she picks out Bill Powell. He
gives her gardenias, plays the
game out like good sport, until
he discovers he was the Patsy.
Then he walks out. You'll like
the finish. It's clever.
John Cromwell directed this

lets out a notch and gets his
story in high it breezes through
as an easy winner. It comes to

Ephrata Man Boosts For
Better River Highway

W. E. Southland of Ephrata is solicit
ing support of the Chelan county COM
missiOners for road from Vantage
bridge, down the west bank OF the Col
umbia river, to the foot of Priest Rap
ids, reports the Wenatchee Daily World.
"This road" writes Southland, would
Immediately open up splendid road
from Wenatchee all the way to Port
land, across the middle OF the Yakima
valley, the Walla Walla country, and
the whole south"
The commissioners asked Auditor
Gillette to inform Southland that while
they are interested they are poWerless
to act since the route is out of Chelan
county.
Southland points out that road on
the west bank would be as short as a
road down the east side and would
eliminate the necessity Of bridge
lower down.
1T would not be costly, and at the
foot of Priest Rapids there is So
mile road already built. 1t joins the
road to Yakima, the Union Gap tc
Sunnyside, and White Bluffs and Han
ford, and I consider 1t of extreme i'm
portance to Wenatchee."

day August 1, was adjourned until this

be too costly to prosecute the suit, since
it is uncertain that they would be able
to collect if Judgment were rendered
in favor of the district. Since quite a
sum of money is involved in the case

The three companies involved In the

company-were also. ordered to elm
mate existing rate structures for these

called California rate structure. be-
ginning with the 1884 irrigation sea-

Warehouses Ship
Pears And Apples

Fruit warehouses of the White Bluffs
and Hanford district have been busy
this week with the first of the late
summer and fall shipments Of pears
and apples. Two cars Of pears have
been shipped from the White Bluffs
Warehouse this week, one car on Tues
day and another car today Part OF
car of pears was also shipped today
by the White Bluffs Horticultural Elk
change warehouse. All shipments have
been to eastern points, the White Bluff
Warehouse shipping the pears loose ~
hugs, and the Exchange packing them
+ No prices have been quoted on this
years pear crop as yet. Cannery activ-
ity is uncertain, and the California
pear crop has been on the market for
a short while, making the pear deal
quite uncertain.
First apples of the 1888 season were
shipped from the White Bluffs Ware
house this week. Some of each variety
have been sent to the coast for ship
ment to Alaska Since the last boats
for northern Alaska points leave Sc
attic the latter part Of this month,
it is necessary for apple shipments to
those points to be made during the
first part OF the month. The crop in
all districts is about ten days later
! than normal this year, and these early
shipments are somewhat smaller than
usual
Prospects for the 1898 apple harvest
in the Priest Rapids valley point to
a larger crop than last year, as well
as a cleaner crop. N. p. Anglin, deputy
horticultural inspector. estimates that
the commercial crop from Hanford
and White Bluffs this year will am
cunt to about $50 cars, although pack
and grade rules yet to be adopted may
change this estimate somewhat. Last
years crop was about 100 cars under
this figure. Some Of the orchards ir
the valley will have the cleanest croE
in a number of years, while in some
orchards worm damage will be heavier
than usual, the average being some
what cleaner
