picketing and claims of unfair" this
week. At the ball game between White

the way the game was going, left the
grandstand in the ninth inning and
gathered behind the umpire to see that
the game was run to their satisfaction,
In the last half of the ninth, with
the score Z to 4 in favor OF the visitors,
the first two Toppenish men were
walked and the third was given free
pass when he was hit on the arm. The
next batter doubled bringing in two
runs. With two out, two more runs
were driven In, making the score 81
in favor of Toppenish and ending the
game.

early in the game, counting runs In
the first and second innings. They were
held scoreless from then until the

The Early Potato Code Committee

This change in price was effective at

Delivered sales to Puget Sound mar

their quotations by at least the five
cent raise on Friday morning, July IL,

The committee feels that this ad-

potatoes has increased both East and
West during the past week. Many
shippers had been selling at the 81

the order.

Who'll Be First To
Get River Salmon?

Are you interested in fishing9 And
are you interested in accomplishing
something that no one else has done?
If YOU are, then here is a chance to
earn $3.50 and to have good time
while earning it.
The White Bluffs Rod and Gun CLUB
has announced that it will give prize
of $3.50 to the first person who can
catch a salmon in the Columbia river
between Wahluke ferry and the F. r.
Taylor ranch, with very few limitations
as to the kind of tackle used.
Although salmon are numerous IN
the river here, fishermen have tried
for number of years to hook one. II
has seemed impossible, however, to
get even bite, they say. Local fisher
men who have caught salmon IN the
Columbia along the lower river neal
The Dalles or along the upper river
above Wenatchee have tried their luck
here to no avail. For some reason, the
salmon do not seem to be interested
in food while passing through this

The local sportsmen's club is anxious
to discover the reason why no one has
yet caught salmon here, and believ-
ing that a little competition might
stir matters up and interest more peo-
pie in trying, they are offering this
prize The contest is open to every
one and no time limit has been set
The only requirements are that thu
fish must be caught within the area
mentioned above, and must be caugh
on ordinary fishing tackle, either b.

Northwest's Apple
Crop Best In U s

Although the apple crop in the
Northwest is better than in any other
section this year, the condition of the
apple crop is estimated at only 449
per cent of normal, according to the
government crop report for July l..
-qIhis is the lowest July condition on
record with the exception OF l9O7 ana
1921. The condition recorded for July
/, 1888, was 56.6 per cent and the ten
year G922-193D average is 6l.2 The
decline of 3.8 points during June was
less than usual.
The July / forecast of total apple
production is 1901 900 bushels, COM
pared with the estimated 1888 produc-
ton of 142,981, 900 bushels (revised
with 40, 1000 bushels produced in
1882 and with the five-year 1927-193l)
average of 156,303 900 bushels.
The decline in condition during June
was greatest in states where drought
conditions have been extraordinarily
severe Except where moisture deflcl-
ency has been pronounced, the fruit
has developed we'll and indications art
that the light and scattered crop vii
be of good quality. The dryness ha:
permitted good control of scab, aphis
and insect and disease damage in gen
eral, with the exception of widespread
cooling moth infestation in Ohio, Viz
ginia and the western apple states
and worm damage in Washington ant
Oregon The apple crop Is from two Il
five weeks ahead of usual development
in Colorado, Idaho, and the western
coast states.
According to the forecast, Washing
ton will produce 32,30o,O00 bushels thi
year as against 29, 100000 in 1888. Ore
CONS production will increase from 3,
4 100000 bushels in 1888 to 4,938,OOO Il
1884; Idaho will produce only 3,45O,0O
