Picking ions,
King Davids
Peach Harvest Concluded;
Bring Better Returns

Harvest of the 1885 apple crop in the
valley got underway this week as grow
ers began picking donations and King
Davids. While the season this year is
several weeks later than last year, the
cooler weather this summer has
brought more color and better size to
the fruit.
Several cars were scheduled to move
from the valley as packing got UNI
derway at the Weber warehouse, Han
ford HORTICULTURAL Exchange warehouse
and White Bluffs Warehouse. Early
shipments will bring the growers re-
turns of $135 per box for the ions.
Indications are that returns for the
season will run about SIPS.
The hot spell of the past week, with
number Of warm nights, took some
of the color from the fruit, but with
cloudy weather today and cooler Wea-
ther forecast, it is expected that the
color Of the fruit will be up to STAN
dard. Tonnage this year is expected to
be larger than that of last year, with
less worm damage and better size.
While no offers are being made here
for Winesaps indicated prices for sea-
sonal shipments Of Saps are reported
by the Wenatchee World at $1.20 for
the extra fancy grade, 125's to 1885.
Packoutt of Hale and F,lberta peaches
in the valley was virtually completed
the first of the week. Sales of most Of
the fruit brough the growers 55 cents
for Elbertas and IS cents for Hales,
while some small lots were sold for as
high as 80 cents per packed box at
the ranch.
Much of the fruit was trucked out
this season, one dealer who owns a
group of fruit stands at Portland MAX
| ing a number of trips in here. Re-
ports this week from Yakima and Wen
atchee state that the price has dropped
at least five cents a box, but most To-
cal growers are unaffected by the drop.
This is the first time in several sea-
sons that peach growers have received
returns which allowed them to break
even and while some of the orchards
we're frozen out by the April frost,
there was a fair sized crop. Many of
the growers have declared that next
year they will be prepared to smudge
their orchards, and will take no
chances on losing any fruit from frost

COMING SEASON
LURES HUNTERS

With the hunting seasons near at
hand, interest in the activities of the
White Bluffs Rod and Gun club is
increasing, and the meeting of the or
ganization to be held Tuesday evening,
September 3, is expected to draw a
large attendance.
Prior to the hunting seasons, the club
is planning to stage a series of trap
shoots, and following the last of the
open season on birds, it is possible that
another turkey shoot will be given by
the club. These and other matters will
be brought up at next weeks meeting,
to be held a the John Dover. Lumber
company's Office at eight pm.

IS Apple Harvest Gets Underway
Townsend Speaker
Stresses Feasibility

Meeting the objections of those who
claim the Townsend plan is unwork-
able, r. D. Oliver, in delivering the
main address at the Townsend club
picnic here Sunday, reminded his au-
dience that there were many who said
the first airplane would not fly. Today,
he pointed out, airplanes fly over
oceans and jungles And so it is with
the Townsend plan, he said; once it
is put into operation, it will become
an unqualified success.
The three speakers at the meeting,
Sam Allard, who told of the growth Of
the movement over the country; j. T.
Wilburn of Pasco, organizer of the To-
cal club, and Mr.. Oliver, of Seattle,
were all over 10 years of age, Mr.. Al
lard being 70, Mr.. Wilburn "a and Mr..
Oliver II.
Despite the fact that peach picking
was at it's height and many were work
ing in the orchards, about 1875 local
people turned out to hear the addresses
on the Townsend plan, many of them
having arrived at the Grange hall
earlier in the afternoon to enjoy a
picnic luncheon.
Describing the manner in which the
Townsend oldage revolving annuity
plan would work, and the benefits to
be derived from it, Mr. Oliver declared
that there were 1O365,000 people in
the United States who are eligible for
the annuity, The question of eligibil-
ity for the annuity will be decided by
the veterans bureau, while the inter-
nal revenue department will be in
charge of payments. In this way no
new agencies would be set up and the
program could be put in operation as
soon as it is made law.
Funds for the plan will be raised
through transaction tax of 2 per
cent, which on the nearly thirteen hun
dred billion dollars annual transactions
in the country, he said, will raise suffi-
Gent revenue to pay the 5000 per
month and meet some of the costs OF
government, thus eventually doing
away with the present system of real
estate taxes.
Much of this revenue will be de-
rived from the stock exchange and
grain exchanges, said the speaker,
pointing out that in 1929 these trans
actions amounted to eight hundred
billion dollars, thus producing rev.
enue of 16 billions for the annuity
plan.
Pointing to conditions of today, Mr..
Oliver asserted that there are two and
one-half million people in the poor
farms of % states, and that the cost
of crime each year is 10 billion dol
lars. When the Townsend plan is en-
acted, he declared, such conditions will
be wiped out; people will be able to
build new homes, improve their pro-
perty, and wages in all industries will
be increased.

Tuesday First
Day OF School
Everything in Readiness for
Registration Of Pupils

School bells will ring again in Han
ford and White Bluffs next Tuesday
morning, September 8, calling students
and teachers back to books and classes.
Teaching Stats in both schools are now
complete and the teachers will arrive
during the weekend to make their
first preparations for the winters work.
The past few weeks have seen much
renovating in the school buildings, es-
pecially at Hanford where the grade
school has been abandoned and ar
engagements made for the primary and
intermediate classes to be held in the
high school building.
The faculty of the Hanford schools
will be headed by Mr. Harris of Spo-
kane as superintendent. Mrs. Louis
Krug of Hanford will be the primary
teacher; Miss Elma Morasch of Endi-
colt, intermediate grades; Mr.. Furgur-
son, seventh and eighth grades; Miss
Nadine Brown of Prosser, English tea
cher in the high school; Mr.. Lipscomb
of Seattle, science instructor.
Levi Austin will again act as super
intendent of the White Bluffs schools
with Mrs. Alice Moede teaching the
first and second grades; Mrs. James
Paschen the third and fourth; and
Fred Thomet as principal of the grade
school and fifth and sixth grade tea
cher The high school staff will be
composed of Angelo Manusos and Miss
Hazel Burdett, and Willard D. Hester
of Oakesdale, junior high teacher He's
ter and Manusos will direct athletics.
New courses this year will be physics,
biology typewriting and possibly La
tin, unless the majority of students
prefers French.
The usual book charge of a dollar
for high school students and fifty
cents for grade school pupils will be
exacted on the opening day.
casionally allowing the older boys to
work in the harvest for several weeks
after school starts and then make up
their work, Superintendent Austin says
that he doubts if any such exceptions
can be made this year. At present the
state supplies almost all of the funds
with which our schools are run and
consequently has a greater control
over them; and the only excuse for
absence which the state department
accepts is for sickness, SO it is very
doubtful if they would sanction any
such late entrances during the fall
term.
The general school attendance will
probably be slightly under that of last
year, but the high school population
will probably be the same as last year
in White Bluffs.
The Vernita school district has not
yet decided upon teacher or the
opening date for their school, but a
board meeting was scheduled for this,
Thursday, evening to take the matter
up,

PATHETIC LETTER
TELLS OF HUNGER

In reading the last issue of his home
town paper the Conrad, Montana,
independents Observer, Earl Freebury
came upon a letter written by a mother
in the Odessa district of Russia to
her daughter near Conrad. The letter
has attracted much attention here,
and the Spokesman is reprinting it
this week.
The letter, dated June 10, 1895, and
faithfully translated from the Russian,
follows:
Greetings from your mother, Karl,
Lydia and Frede to you dear children
and grand children, hoping that you
are we'll. received your letter May
21st which was written April oath,
while I was staying with Elizabeth.
She walked to her sister Lydia's place,
18 miles, then Lydia's husband walked
back with her and took me home with
them, so I am here with your sister
Lydia since May 23rd I will stay here
if it is Gods will and starvation don't
force me to go away. We are so poor
that I can't explain it in words. Our
Father in Heaven knows.
Yesterday sold my last shawl to
buy a little food Now all is gone l
owned We live from what my daugh-
ter and son 10 years old earn. They
work every day, get their own meals
and little over to support five chill
dren and me. AS for clothes we have
nothing. I sit by day and make one
thing out of two old rags. We live with
out potatoes, nothing in the line Of gro
ceries, no pig for two years, no but
ter, no onions and no feed for ten
baby chicks. We thank God that our
young COW has a calf, so now we live
from part of the milk and raise the
calf from the rest of the milk. There
is no grass and no rain. Nothing but
storms and cold weather so it looks
pitiful We only have a little garden,
no other crop and no moisture.
Karl says that he has given up hope
that we will live this winter because
we eat up now what we earn, so what
will happen when winter comes? be-
lieve that God has food for us for hea-
ven and earth are His, and sinners
must be punished. So don't get tired
trying to help u.s. In Matthew ST. it
says: Blessed are the merciful for
they shall obtain mercy" If we don't
get help we will have to go and live
like beggars I'm still well but people
don't recognize me, I'm just a skeleton
1t is going the same way by Eliza
beth. The three children are alone all
day from early morning till late at
night. She is working daily. Theodore
her husband, is in Jail for trying to
look around for food in another part
of the country. She is now alone with

With number of important mat
tiers TO be discussed, the White Bluffs
Commercial club will hold a meeting
Friday evening, August 30, at the Pa
cific Power and Light companys office.
Chief among the matters to come up
is the feasibility Of holding boat races
again this year on the river here. Sew
eral boat owners of Yakima have eX
pressed their interest in another re-
gatta, and with many more boats avail
able this season, it is possible that
another event, such as held last year,
can be staged

the cabinet officer should have been
treated as other depositors, who were
paid so cents on the dollar.
Brice Clagett, representing the bank

on the grounds only the receiver could
seek return of the funds, but Justice
Wheat overruled his motion without
prejudice to the merits Of any Of
