RECIPROCITY APPROVED

Several weeks ago the Spokesman applauded
the new reciprocal trade treaty with Canada, ex-
pressing the belief that, despite the premature OBJ
in competition from across the line, and the Gus
tomary cries of "wolf'' from those who make
practice of that SPORT it would be found to greatly
stimulatestrade between the two nations and that
the benefits would far more than equalize the pos
sible LOSSES
Following lull of several weeks since the sign
ing of the treaty and the first outcry of INDICATION
against it, it appears that many people are be-
ginning to regard the trade pact splendid
move AS one Northwest editor says, "After get
ting all the facts it seems that this treaty is going
to help rather than injure this section of the
Northwest" Others, apparently, share the same
opinion.
If tariff barriers could now be reduced every
where, world trade would undoubtedly revive to
such point that producers and consumers alike
would feel quick return to better times.

CHEST SPECIALIST
LAUDS SEAL SALE

That the very definite decrease in
the annual death rate from tubercu-
losis throughout the country has dem
onstrated the efficiency of preventive
measures is the opinion of DR.. S. l..
Cox, diagnostician for the Washing
ton tuberculosis association.
"The value of prevention as COM
pared with the attempted cure of we'll
advanced cases of tuberculosis" says
DR.. Cox, Unjust be obvious to us all
as the logical point of emphasis in
the present and future campaigns
against the disease.
cone of the most valuable types of
preventive work carried on by the
Washington tuberculosis association
and it's "a affiliated county tubercu-
losis leagues in the state" continued
DR.. Cox, els the Mantoux tuberculin
skin testing Of high school and junior
high school groups. The positive test
is supplemented by the x-ray and
chest examinations of such reactors.
In this way, those who are infected
are found early and through educa-
tional and preventive measures the de-
velopment of actual disease may usu-.
ally be avoided"
DR.. Cox gives the Mantoux test to
approximately ten thousand persons
each year, the service being financed
by the annual sale of Christmas seals
Mrs D. S. Wilkinson, local chairman
of the seal sale, asks that money for
the seals be turnedi as soon as pos
sible and that unwanted seals be re-
turned.

Damage To Trees By Early Freeze Is
Not Alarming, Report After Survey

trees in the Pacific Northwest have
done this year, is sometimes injurious
because of the slowness with which
the wounds heal. The shock Of the re-
cent freeze may have a decided weak
ening effect upon the trees. An appre-
ciable amount of twig injury may have
essentially the same stimulating effect
upon the trees as pruning does.
Trees affected include: apples, pears,
sweet cherries, apricots, English wal
nuts and European grapes. Peaches
and sour cherries appear to be UNI.
hurt. Romes seem to have suffered
most among the apples. In areas Of
greatest damage the early bark Of the
last several years growth has turned
brown. This is particularly true Of
Rome Beauty apples, sweet cherries,
English walnuts and apricots. This
Drowned condition is distinctly abnor-
NAL, but fruit trees sometimes make
marked recoveries from winter injuries,
Snyder points out.
In the most severe cases of damage
to apple trees, the inner bark, includ-
ing the canbium layer of wood from
one to four years old has turned brown.
Fruit buds on most seriously injured
apple trees show slight browning.
The spurs show an abnormal brown
condition particularly in the cambium
area. In areas where damage has been
slight, discoloration is less marked.
Pear spurs show considerable discol-
grafton. The inner bark, including the
cambium, on English walnuts has
turned black.
Counties visited by Snyder were Aso-
tin, Columbia, Walla Walla, Benton,
Franklin, Yakima and Chelan.

ENJOY TODAY

From Thanksgiving to New Years in America
is season unparalleled. Store lights carry spe-
cial, cheerful message; the snow-bound country
side is thing of beauty, and even when there is
no snow but gloomy, depressing weather, the at
mosphere is somehow charged with feeling of
expectancy and excitement. The man with the
worried expression is no longer the football coach,
the farmer or the business man, but just father;
and suddenly small boys behavior becomes most
exemplary.
It is a season which should be enjoyed to the
fullest and especially is this true of the season
just preceding leap year. For in that year, Amer
lea swings into it's quadrennal national political
campaign, during which the man in the street is
besieged on all sides by charges and counter
charges, promises and denunciations until his ears
ring from the constant din over the radio and his
eyes become bleary from reading the vast array of
propaganda.
The 1886 campaign might be said to have al
ready gotten underway; in fact, it has been de-
veoping since the election of 1882. But in the
interim we have had months Of surcease from pol
itcal oratory, and even during the spurts OF ac-
tivity we have been able to lend but to
the polemical diatribes while bending the other
to more pleasant matters.
With the advent of the year, the poor pub
lie will not be afforded even this measure of relief
the only solution is to become Rip Van Wrinkle
and hibernate until next November. The air will
be constantly filled with the voices Of candidates
and party men who are attempting to save the
people by urging them to vote for their side; the
nations press will be filled with attacks and de-
lenses; statistics by one party to prove the other
incompetent, and the statistics used by the
latter party to prove the party of the first part
a tribe of idiots.
Perhaps your mind is already made up as to
what you shall vote for against, but wait; be-
fore the next nine months have passed, so much
propaganda, both pro and con, will have been in
jected into your brain, that you will be be-
fuddled as rhinoceros on roller skates.
The holiday season is remarkable and happy
one; this year it is twice blessed for it is the u
before the storm the last hour of repreve and let
us enjoy it to the full

Contrary to popular notion, sauer-
kraut was probably not invented. In
Germany. Most likely the Tartars,
in Asia, made it first and introduced
it among the Slavs of eastern Europe,
who passed the idea westward.

BRIDGE WORK
AT COULEE DAM
MOVING AHEAD
Concrete Will Pour In Pie1
Frames Of Highway Span
Next Week
Await High Water
Rapid Rise May Make Pier Work
Difficult Next Few
Days

GRAND COULEE DAM ~ Now
that the caisson for the west shore
bridge-pier has reached bedrock
sandhogs for the company are
cleaning of the exposed granite
bottom.
The first of next week concrete
will be poured on the granite bed
rock and when that is completed
it will only be a matter of weeks
until the two piers for the can't
lever state highway bridge will be
finished.
The pier will probably be fin
ished about May Is, engineers pre-
dicted.
The caisson, 5000 tons of con-
crete in the shape of the pier
which has a chamber of feet high,
26 feet wide and Sc feet long, is
still under pressure and will be ST.
until the final concrete has been
placed in the hollow pier.
Workmen will pour the concrete
through the mudlocks and later
through the man-lock in the
middle. The final few inches re-
manning will be shot through
grout-hole (pipes running through
the concrete, to the top at about
80 pounds pressure until every cubic
inch OF the chamber is filled.
All that remains to be done at
ter that is to make the forms for
the rest of the pier above ground
a comparatively simple job.
With the river expected to start
rising today or tomorrow, the COM
pany may be forced to use the ex-
ceedingly high pressure of 80 pounds
per square inch to hold the waters
of the Columbia out of the chamber
Work would be difficult under the
above condition.
