THERE are three names in which
there is great similarity in origin.
Weaver, Webster and Webb, all three
representing the trade of weaver of
cloth. Evidently, when the mandate
went forth commanding all heads of
families to adopt surname, or Sir
name" as it was then called, every
one cast about for the most suitable
cognomen. Naturally, weaver was
not unaware of the suitability of that
name, not only as a surname but as a
trade mark. Some of the weavers de-
waited slightly and used synonymous
terms-Webster and Webb. So it was
that the Weavers, the Websters and

Fine Spirit Shown. In
Christmas T.B. Seal Sale

That the success of the Christmas
seal sale will be due in large part to
the fine spirit shown during the CAM
paign by the general public and to the
untiring efforts of the county leagues
and chairmen is the belief of Mrs.
Charles c.. Miller of Seattle, president
of the Washington tuberculosis Associ-
alton which annually sponsors the sale.
"The sale of Christmas seals this
year proves anew that people will
spend according to their interests" said
Mrs. Miller. "It is by no means too
late for those who have not yet re-
ported on their seals to have part
in the work by sending money for
them. If majority will respond in this
way, funds for the statewide 1884 pro-
gram will be assured" continued Mrs
Miller.
ION behalf of the Washington Tu-
berculosis Association, may I express
to all our appreciation for the support
given to our "a affiliated county leagues
and to the association by the public
the press, the schools and the many
devoted workers who braved the ele-
ments for days that the fight against
tuberculosis might not lapse. May al
enjoy Happy New Year,"

Legislatures Efforts

Editors Note: The following article
concerning the accomplishments Of the
present special session of the Washing
ton state legislature, is written by Fred
j. Chamberlain, Olympia correspondent
for the Washington Grange:
This session of the legislature has
closed the fourth week and the end Is
not yet in sight. Last week the bars
were put up against any further intro
duction of bills and the count stood as
follows: Senate, bills III, memorials IL,
resolutions is; House, bills 215, me-
MORALS 10, resolutions II, or total Of
800.
The legislature had submitted IL
liquor control bills, 6 delinquent tax
extensions, IA altering election laws, 10
mortgage measures, "a on highways,
IA labor solutions, gasoline bills, 20
on counties, II on taxation, 8 on bank
ing, "a on cities and the balance were
miscellaneous There were proposals for
10 different boards or commissions with
salaries from nothing to $500 for each
member, besides several proposed inves-
| legations.
| So far this session, the Senate has
bills The House has passed "a House
| bills and seven Senate bills. Among
the important bills passed by the Sem
ate are the following: the liquor con-
troll, eugenical sterilization Of degen-
crates, leasing state lands for the ex-
traction of petroleum or natural gas
relating to removal of regents of insti-
buttons of higher education and state
highway to the Coulee DAM
The following bills have passed both
houses: Session expense bills, validating
irrigation district bonds, releasing
Coulee Dam from payment of water
fees, Furnishing kidnapping with life
sentence or death, limiting the courts
on labor injunctions, allowing cities tx
purchase airports outside limits, defin-
ing the duties of the emergency relief
administration, rules and regulations o.
state game commission, and a fair com.
petition act for agricultural activitie!
in this state.
One of the surprises of this session
with all of it's wet expectations, is that
SO far it has been totally temperate
body as not a single drunken legislator
has appeared on the floor. I believe thi
has never occurred before and SHOULD
be commended. Many legislators arr
new and inexperienced, but the grea
body of them manifest desire to d.
the right thing and the final result
of the session are hopeful.

Gabriel Jadden Caught
BY Sliding River Bank

Gabriel Jadden of Wahluke barely
escaped serious injury or death last
Thursday when he was caught in a
landslide along the river bank. Mr..
Jadden is severely bruised and has sew
eral cracked ribs but is gradually i'm
proving.
The accident occurred when Jadden
was driving his band of sheep along the
north side of the river. The sheep had
been pastured on Locks Island and he
wished them moved to the mainland
before lambing time. With the assis-
lance of Glenn Slower, owner and oper-
ator of the Wahluke ferry and A. D.
Olson, the sheep were ferried across the
river and landed near Locke's old
pumping plant.
The three men were driving the sheep
along the north bank of the river when
assembled the steep bank, Earring ii
loose. Slower noticed the crumbline
earth and shouted to Olson and Jad-
den, who were directly beneath it
Both men jumped, but Jadden was
caught by the edge Of the slide.
Although tons of earth fell, ladder
was not completely covered and the
other two men were able to extricate
him, take him to his home and apply
first aid. 1t was at first thought that ar
arm and several ribs were broken. Tht
weight of the falling earth bruised hin
from head to foot but no bones were
broken.

January to March 81, as earlier re-
ported, but will be open the entire year,
according to Virgil B. Bennington,

In letter to j. M. Shinn, secretary
of the local rod and gun club, Mr..
Bennington states that one OF the first
regulations of the state game commits

rivers, where they lie wholly within the
state of Washington, during the entire
year until further notice for any and
all fish common to the water.

Apple Price Rise
To Benefit Growers

The steady advance In the price OF
apples will benefit the growers to q
large extent, 1t Is estimated by SHIP
pers, as the tonnage remaining IN the
growers hands Is placed at 30 per
cent with the rest owned by dealers
Current prices will give the producer
returns well above the cost of produc-
ton, as Winesaps are now being quoted
at $1.35 and $1.50 for large fancles
and extra fancies on board the cars
Delicious are returning from SLIPS to
$1.85 box Demand for larger sizes Is
light at present, while export sizes are
being sold easily, and are being shipped
as fast as there is boat space for them
While many growers sold early in the
season, the actual quantity OF fruit
passing out of grower control has been
greatly exaggerated, Yakima shippers
assert. Growers financed by federal
agencies have not been urged to sell as
long as prices were advancing, but the
crops of some have been bought by fac
tors because they needed stocks te
offer the trade.
According to reports received today
Thursday from Wenatchee, extra fancy
Delicious are selling at $500 a box

established new high record for the

Loan Plans AS
Yet Undecided

Methods Of financing the 1884 fruit
and vegetable crops are now engaging
the attention of growers, dealers ana
other interested parties. It is expected
that within the next few weeks some
definite program will be adopted Tor
the financing of crops in this state.
w. j. Kincaid of White Bluffs re-
ceived a letter this week from John A
Schoonover, president of the Produc-
ton Credit Corporation of Spokane
which states that an informational
meeting will be held in Yakima within
the next few weeks to inform growers
generally concerning the set-up OF the
Production Credit Corporation of Spo-
kane and as it applies to the organ1za-
ton of a local association.
Mr.. Schoonover states that assoc1a-
lions to be formed will be based or
geographical lines rather than commo-
dity lines as many commodity groups
would be unable to furnish sufficient
loan volume.
Prior to the year 1882 all fruit pro-
duction loans were made by the Fedora
intermediate Credit Bank of Spokane
During 1882 the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation financed six new
credit corporations which advanced
substantial sums in the northwestern
fruit districts. The Department O.
Agriculture also made limited emer-
gency loans that year for fruit produc'
ton.
At the close of 1882 a new govern
mental agency, the Regional Agricul
tural Credit Corporation, was created
and, with the other two loan agencies
advanced large sum to assist north
west growers in producing last year
pear and apple crops
The Federal intermediate Credi
Bank does not loan direct to the grove
but to Production Credit Corporation
or other corporation qualified to estab
lish credit relations with the bank
Three types of organization ma
receive these loans: Self-containe
growers cooperative associations, co
operative marketing associations, or ag
ricultural credit corporations, whic
loan to growers who market thei
crops Independently of any pooling Q
cooperative agreement.

The earnings at the plant for each
month of this period were:

In 1882, the first year that excess
power was sold to the power company,
the district earned approximately $6,25O
in seven-m month period.
The revenue produced this year Is
considered very favorable, since the
power plant has been operating with
only one generator since the middle OF
June Since the close Of the irrigation
season September 30, the plant has
been able to generate energy at about
the mayir,lm capacity of the one tur-
bine, due to the high stage of the river
