ROSA PROJECT
PROGRESSING
is REPORT NOW
Congressman Hill Optimistic
Over Possibilities for Final
Approval; Makes Inquiry of
Mead

Representative Knute Hill, DEM
ocrat, Washington, today quoted re-
clamation bureau officials as pre-
dieting an early approval, under the
work relief program, of the Rosa ir-
rigation project in the Yakima val
ley, according to an Associated
Press dispatch today.
Hill said that while he was dis
appointed in the delay on the pro-
ject, which would cost approximate
ly $4,000, 900, he believed it would be
approved and construction started
within short time.
After a call at the White House
and a talk with DR.. Elwood Mead,
commissioner of reclamation, the
representative said the project was
being held up pending further in
vestigation by the bureau of the
budget. He indicated, however, that
he believed favorable action would
be taken shortly.
Although officials of the bureau
5 of reclamation refused to make any
definite predictions on the project,
1t was said the project is coming
along" and things now look favor
able"

Local Residents Visit
Working Gold Mine

I. S. Gleason, G. l.. Powell, E. II
Behrman, CIas. Dimond and r. E.
Reed spent Sunday investigating a
gold mine in the hills back Of Ell
lensburg. The mine is in active OPP
Grafton and all phases of the game
were looked into. Both the quartz
and the placer types were investi-
gated and both proved very inter-
esting to the visitors. The quartz
mine has a tunnel into the vein
and drifts along it for several hum
dred feet. The pilot mill gathers
the concentrates which are then
melted in retort. The process gath
ers about ninety percent of the yell
low metal in the first receptacle
and the ore runs from ten or twelve
dollars to hundreds of dollars per
ton. IF further tests prove as fav-
orable, a mill capable of handling
hundreds of tons per day will be in
stalled, according to officials. The
mine is operating regularly now.
The school is being handled by
Robert Johnston and Iverson Brow
nell, both Red Cross registered in
structors and assisted by Fred
Smith.

Average Apple
Crop Forecast
For This Year
Condition is 71.3 of Normal;
22.6 Points Above Last
Year

The June | condition Of the United
States apple crop is reported by the
government at 7l3 per cent of normal
which is 22.6 points above the very
low condition of 48.7 reported in June
last year and 35 points above the av-
erage June / condition for the ten
year period, 1923-1932, says the Pacific
Coast Packer this week.
EARLY season indications point to
favorable apple prospects for most
states, the exceptions being confined
chiefly to the south central group OF
states. Low temperatures and heavy
rains delayed the blossom period and
the subsequent development of the APP
pie crop in most of the important
northern apple regions. Apple oondl-
lions are below average in all OF the
North Atlantic states except Pennsyl-
vania. In New England, all varieties
had fairly heavy bloom except Bald
wins and many of these trees are still
showing the effects of winter injury.
The apple trees in many non-com-
mercial areas of New York are being
defoliated by serious infestation of
| tent-caterpillarS.
| For all north central states, except
Kansas, the apple prospects are above
average, although reports from Illinois
indicate considerable concern over the
development of apple scab. Prospects
for the Shenandoah-C umberland-Po-
tomac region apple crop are slightly
above average although many Virginia
growers report a poor set on the York
Imperial trees. Some scab infestation
blight and aphis damage are reported
from this area.
In Colorado, the irrigation water
supplies are again normal in all fruit
districts but large early broods of cod
ling moth are a disturbing factor at
present.
Hood River and Willamette valleys
in Oregon report spotted apple crop
prospects due to many trees which
bear on alternate years.
In Washington, all apple trees eX-
orally full Of bloom In early May but
the apples did not set well In some
orchards. There has been little COM
mercial loss from late frosts and good
crop prospects are reported from the
Wenatchee- Okanogan and Yakima dis.
tricts. The cooling moth flight has been
very heavy this season but has been
under control as emergence was fairly
: uniform and growers are spraying
more heavily than ever before The
| first forecast of production will be
made in the July crop report.

COMPILE COMPLETE
WORLD RADIO LOG

Recognizing the trend of the radio
receiving set industry toward the "all
wave" receivers, and anticipating the
growing need for comprehensive list
Of short-Wave radiophone stations to
facilitate the use of these sets by the
buying public, the Department of
Commerce. Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce, last August COM
piled log, or directory, covering data
Oh some 2400 short-Wave radio stations
throughout the world. 1t was compiled
from official and unofficial listings
containing basic information obtained
from publications of the Bureau de
rUnion International DIES Telecom-
munications, the British Broadcasting
Corporation and the U. S. Federal
Communications Commission.
Up to that time it was the most
complete work of it's kind available
anywhere and thoroughly indispensable
to owners of short-Wave sets. The log
met with such instant favor that the
supply was quickly exhausted. To fill
this unprecedented demand the Blu
reau has just published revised and
enlarged edition of this log. Its size
is inches by 10 inches, and It's 1873
pages, in addition to carrying the sta
ton lists, has the following charts
World time zones, foreign pronounce
ations, distances and much other ma
terial that is of vital concern to users
OF shortWave sets
Many were disappointed because the
first edition was not sufficient to meet
the demands The bureau urges that
all who wish this second edition to
place an immediate order and while
they last they will be on sale at 25
cents a copy at the Seattle Distric'

Domestic Commerce, 500 Federal Office

RIVER CLOSE TO
1884 HIGH MARK

Rising but one-tenth of q foot In
the past three days, the Columbia
river today reached a stage OF SOB
feet at the Coyote Rapids pumping
plant. This reading is the highest re-
corded thus far this season, and is just
one foot below the peak of 1884.
Continued cold and unsettled Wea-
Their has held the river at approx
mately the same level for the past few
weeks todays reading being but 1.3
feet above the reading of June and
seven-tenths of foot above the read
ing of June 10.
Several times during this period the
river has started to come up rapidly
but each time has dropped off before
any large rise was recorded. Most OF
the sudden increases in the flow of the
river are thought to be caused by
heavy rains along the northern part
of the river, rather than from in
creased runotf of melting snow from
the mountains
Since the peak stage of the river Is
normally reached on June 20, there is
some speculation as to whether today's
reading will represent this years peak
A sudden hot spell. will undoubtedly
bring a much greater rise, but con-
tinuation of present weather conditions
is expected to result in gradual rum
off of snow from the upper watershed
which is not apt to raise the height Of
| the river.

SHIPPING POINT
MARKETING COST
AVERAGES CSC

The total cost to fruit growers of
shipping point marketing services for
apples in the Wenatchee and Yakima
districts averaged 60 cents per box DUR
ing the - years from 1922 to 1888, ac-
cording to Chester G. Hampson, as
sociate agricultural economist, in a
report of studies over period Of years
that has just come from the State Col
lege press as Experiment Station Bull
letin No. 312
The peak of 688 cents per box was
reached in 1927, after which decline
began. BY 1888 the costs had been re-
duced to 55.5 cents per box, a decrease
of 10 per cent. The costs are divided
in the following proportions: packing
services, 80 per cent; boxes, % per
cent; Warehousing, ii per cent; stor-
age, 10 per cent; selling, II per cent

First Transparents
Shipped tuesday

Shipments Of cherries from this
valley neared the peak this week as
all growers were busy picking. The cash
price Of 9 cents a pound for Bings ana
Ianberts has held steady, with re-
ports from eastern markets indicating
good demand for the fruit. Prices on
the New York auction We're from $500
up for 15-pound boxes of Bings and
on the Chicago market were around
$3.50.
One car of Bings, made up of 2R
tons from this valley, with the remain
der from lower Yakima valley points,
was shipped east on consignment early
this week, growers believing they could
get better than the cash price offered
here
First Transparent apples to be
shipped from the valley, and the tlrst
reported from any district, were sew
eral boxes sent by express Tuesday
from the w. S. Webber ranch. Quo
tations on this fruit so far are $50
ton for the seasons run.
1t is understood that buyers are hes
itating to make definite offer for
apricots, but are attempting to sign
up growers on consignment or joint
account deal There is difference OF
opinion ranging from low of $2S
per ton to high of $50 per ton for
No. is, and it is expected that the
opening price will be somewhere be-
tween these figures, says the Pacific
Coast Packer. Picking of apricots is
expected to start here in about a week.

League Leaders
To Meet Sunday
Valley League Standings

What promises to be the outstanding
baseball attraction of the season Will
be dished up to local fans Sunday
when the Hanford A.C. nine plays
host to the pace-setting Toppenish
team. The two teams are tied for first
place in the valley league, Toppenish
with three wins and Hanford with
one, and the result Of this game Will
probably determine the championship
of the second half.
Toppenish has strong team this
year. With an effective pitching staff
and heavy hitters, maintaining team
batting average of 1888, it has record
OF ten straight victories, losing the
eleventh game to the Yakima Indians
of the Northwest league.
! According to the records, Hanford is
quite bit weaker at bat, having
team average of 1858, but in the past
games the players with lowest batting
averages have been credited with driv-
| ing in large portion of the runs and
| nearly any of them can be counted on
to get hit in the pinches Emil Wag-
ner is leading the hitting list with an
average of 1884, DeRigio is second with
.343 and Joe Wagner third with 1903.
| Hanford has an aggressive team,
ready to take advantage Of every break,
as is shown by the fact that their 49
runs SO far this season have been made
on 70 hits
In the first game Of the season be-
tween Toppenish and Hanford, the
locals gave the reservation nine its
toughest battle of the season, the game
going to twelve innings before Toppen-
sh could push over the winning run
Sunday, with the game on the Han
ford field, and with every Hanford
player determined to beat Toppenish
fans can be assured of nine or more
exciting innings. Play will start at 2:30
In the only game of the valley league
Sunday, Yakima came back after Its
defeat by Hanford to pound out q
AL victory over the strong Wapatc
team.
