1t is seldom that events turn out as satisfact-
orily as anticipated An exception to this gener-
ality, however, is the regatta held here last Sun
day. From everyone has come expressions of sat-
isfaction, and hopes that the regatta will be re-
peated again next year.
White Bluffs enjoys the distinction of having
the most logical spot in south-central Washington
for such an event. A long, open beach enables the
parking of hundreds of cars within short dis
lance from the course. The rivers current pro-
vides a smooth course which does not become
choppy after the boats have travelled over it few
times, and in general it is pleasant location for
the spectators
The one drawback in the past few years has
been in attracting sufficient boats of one class to
put on interesting races. good start made
this year, when the Wenatchee boats provided ad-
ditional competition, and from the manner in
which the event is being pubiciized throughout
the Northwest, it should be possible to stage some
thrilling races next year, which with other events
will draw an even larger crowd to the valley.
Those who worked in making this years regat-
ia a success are to be complimented, and the hope
expressed that next year their efforts will be
highly satisfactory.

THE STORY

The future of the still youthful and
comely "Widder" Marcia Howe, recently
released by death from her idling, self
ish husband, is conversational tit-bit
among the housewives of the little
hamlet of Wilton. Eligible bachelors
and widowers also evince a more or
less unselfish interest in the ''Widder."
Marcia despite her unfortunate ma
trimonial experience, finds pleasure in
her daily life, but is lonely at times,
and has invited her late husbands
niece, Sylvia Hayden, whom she has
never seen, to visit her. The girl ar
rives and Marcia takes to her at once,
while Sylvia, expecting to see a some
what elderly aunt, finds Marcia more
like sister.
Into the uneventful, happy lives of
the two women comes adventure. A
stranger, on the verge of exhaustion,
finds his way to Marcia's home. Cared
for, he explains that his power boat
ran aground in the fog. His wrist is
injured. Secretly, he asks Marcia to
hide a package containing jewelry.
which she does. The doctor comes, with
Elisha Winslow, town sheriff, bringing
the news of jewel robbery on neigh
boring Long Island estate. The stran-
ger, Hospitality put to bed, gives his
name as Stanley Heath.
| Marcia says nothing to Sylvia about
| the Jewels Heath had asked her to
hide. Though uneasy, she is unwilling,
for some reason, to believe him to be
a thief. Sylvia discovers the jewels. A
handkerchief with the initials SCH"
convinces her that Heath is author of
the robbery Sheriff Winslow had re-
ported and she realizes that Marcia
herself must have hidden them. Decid-
ing to say nothing, she puts the jewels
back in their hiding place.
Unable to write because of his in
jured wrist, Heath has Marcia "Mrs
S. G. Heath. He also wires orders to
a man named Currier to come at once
Sylvia, in her room, bedecks herself
with the jewels. At Marcia's approach,
she hides them there. Heath asks Mar
ella to bring him the jewels. They are
gone! Terror stricken, she informs
Heath. Later, Sylvia restores them to
their original hiding place. The story
continues:

Elisha looked down. He saw it was
quite loose.
"That things goin' to trip up some
body some fine day." commented he
"It oughter be cemented"
Producing his knife, Elisha pried the
brick from its place.
AS he lifted it out, handkerchief
came with it, disgorging at his feet
a flat, blue leather case.
If the sheriff's eyes bulged when he
caught sight of it, they all but popped
from his head when, egged on by curl
osity, he pressed the catch on the
box.
Quick as flash the whole situa-
ton clarified in his mind.
These were the widely heralded
Long Island jewels; and the thief who
had stolen them was here beneath this
roof!
1t was as plain as a pikestaff. Hid
den by fog he had escaped in his
boat and inadvertently run aground a,

With an air of authority, he held
out his hand.
The crowd fell back
Early afternoon found Marcia alone
in the Homestead sitting room Sylvia
had gone up the beach. Stanley Heath
was asleep; and at last the delicious
interval of solitude which the woman
coveted was here.
The basket at her elbow overlooked
with mending, but she had not yet
taken up her needle.
She could not work. Try as she
would, her mind wandered off into
byways too fascinating to be resisted
-byways which no matter how re-
mote their windings, invariably led hel
back to Stanley Heath.
In retrospect she lived over again
every incident, every word, every look
that had passed between them, until
she came to the barrier of the un-
known which her fancy bridged with

During the past few years new era has entered
in the production of apples Where in the past new
orchards were being brought into bearing and the
standard Of production raised to such point
that Washington stood first in the nation both as
to quality and quantity of fruit grown, today or
chards are being removed by the thousands of
acres, or are being allowed to dry up
This condition, which is sadly noticeable
in this valley, applies likewise to every other dis
trict of the state. And while it is condition that
is not pleasant to contemplate, it will, no doubt
result to the benefit of the industry as whole.
During the process of building up the industry
costs of production rose to such point that many
were not in position to continue in the bust
ness. Unless ready financing was available,
less the grower himself had sufficient means to
keep going throughout the poor years, several sea-
sons of low prices were enough to deprive grower
of thing he had worked so long to build up.
But as these acres of apple trees are being re-
moved, problem presents itself to the grow
ers OF many districts in the eastern part OF the
state What can be grown on this land now? High
priced land high taxes and high water costs, which
could be supported when apples were bringing
good money, result in cost of production which
is too great for many crops And climatic condi-
tons unfavorable in many districts to the
growing of diversified crops.
Here in the Priest Rapids valley that problem
is Of little consequence. Throughout the years it
has been proved that climatic and soil conditions
here are favorable to the growing of nearly any
crop, and, compared to the more highly developed
districts, the cost Of land and taxes are low, and
the cost of water, while still high according to
some standards, is lower than in many sections.
Apricots, peaches cherries, asparagus and
strawberries are but few of the early crops which
have been proved, by experience, to be suitable to
this district. And production of such crops
sweet potatoes and wine grapes promises to fully
justify the claims made by those who are trying
them.
In the final analysis it will be found that con-
dtions in this valley are superior to those pre-
vai]ing elsewhere With such wide latitude of
possibilities open here the proper advertising and
the proper development should result in the in
hux of many settlers.

THE NUISANCE AGAIN

Wholesale arrests by city officers

the fishing season isn't a very hard
riddle to solve. Yet, if a few of
these individuals, so inclined, feel
they must give way to certain

The trouble lies directly with
those beer dispensary proprietors
who set UP their bars in anticipa-
tion of intercepting a few of the
Observation-Disclosures dollars that go in
to circulation at this time. It is
this sort of an establishment that
should never have been granted a

one woman proprietor that you

whole thing into a nutshell. The
wonder is that she had the courage
to say it.

OLDER INDIANS PASSING

The passing of Joseph Louie this
week brings regret to all who knew
him and to those who are inter
ested in the Indian race. He was an
outstanding example of the older
Indians whose ranks are being so
swiftly depleted.
He was honest and upright and
of good moral character. Physically
he was the equal of men many
years his junior and had been ac-
lively engaged in fishing and yari-
Gus outdoor pursuits until two
months ago Like most of the old
er Indians, Mr.. Louie had good
teeth; so good, in fact, that he died
possessed of 80 sound teeth which
had never needed a dentists atten-
ton.
He bought a home on Church
street several years ago upon which
he yearly made improvements and in
all ways he stroye to be a good
citizen.
With the passing of the older
Indians Wrangell is losing a unique
and valuable part of its population.

HANSEN STARTS MOVEMENT
FOR MEMORIAL TO PIONEERS

Filler Hansen, superintendent of
the Pioneers Home in Sitka, has
started movement toward the
erection of a memorial to the pio-
neers of Alaska. His letter, sent 70
the Alaska press, follows:
In the two years 1 have been
superintendent of the Pioneers
Home one Of the thoughts that has
been uppermost in my mind is a
Memorial to the Pioneers of Alaska.
There are now 47o Pioneers buried
at Sitka. The remains of other
thousands are scattered through
cemeteries in various parts of the
Territory or crumbling away in un-
marked graves along trails and
creeks. TIE recognition of the SER
vice of the Pioneer to the Terri
tory of Alaska can only be full
filled by the erection of a rerman-
ent and fitting monument.
Probably every true Alaskan
will concede that such a Memorial
should and viii be built. 1t is my
opinion that the initiation of this
project should not be indefinitely
postponed The Pioneers of ninety
eight are gradually diminishing in
number. If this matter is constantly
left to the future the day may come
when the people of Alaska will for
get their debt of gratitude to the
Pioneer and the Memorial will not
then be built.
My belief is that the proper
body to start this project is the
Pioneer Igloo of Alaska. If they ap-
point a Committee to decide upon
the cost, nature and location of the
monument it will unquestionably re-
ceive the support of individuals and
organizations throughout the Ter
ritory.
1T would probably be an mop
perfume time to open this subject
if my plan entailed the raising of
funds by popular subscription This
is not the case. There is now in
the hands of the Board of Trustees
of the Pioneers Home a sum of
money bequeathed to the Pioneers,
