For Apricots
Better Prices To Result Is
Claim; Few Growers
At Meetings

An effort to draft grades for april
cots probably will be undertaken, it
was intimated by w. j. Robinson, dir
ector of agriculture, and j. I. Griner,
supervisor of horticulture, following
grade meetings held in Yakima and
Wenatchee last Friday and Saturday.
Growers voted, 20 to II, to adopt
state apricot grades at the Wenatchee
meeting, after discussion showed that
the shipping of immature fruit had
done much to ruin the prices for this
fruit. Some opposition was expressed
by those who felt that the adoption OF
grades would lead to an increase i'll
cost of production through the extra
work and necessary inspections.
At the Yakima meeting, only three
growers and four shippers were pres
ent, the growers voting unanimously
against the adoption of state grade.
declaring that there was already too
much regulation and that there was
no need of grades for this fruit.
Little interest in the proposal to
adopt grades was shown in this valley
and none of the growers here attended
the meetings.

River Reaches

Too Swiftly

flow of water sufficient to cover
five million acres one foot deep within
eight days-that is the size of the
Columbia river at its flood stage, &C
cording to officials of the Coulee Dam
project, who drew this picture to show
the comparison between the Columbia
river and the Colorado river at Boul-
der Dam.
The comparison, as published in the
Wenatchee Daily World followed
news story recently issued, which de-
clared that, when Boulder Dam was
completed, it would take three to four
years to fill the one hundred mile long
reservoir created back of the dam.
The average flow of the Colorado
river, which Boulder Dam will block
off, during peak year, is $4,000 sec
ond feet. During year in which
minimum amount of water runs OFT,
it has an average flow of 1880 Sec
ond feet
The Columbia river, on the other
hand, at extreme low water stage dur
ing the winter, has a run-of of about
$4,000 second feet, while at the peak
stage during the latter part of June,
the average flow is about 365,00O Sec
ond feet.
If Coulee High Dam is completed at
the flood stage, or late in the spring,
it will take only eight days to fill the
reservoir with the 5,O28,000 acre feet Of
water which will be impounded there
Should the dam be completed at the
low water stage, on the other hand, it
would require about twelve weeks for
the water to fill the lake which will be
$50 miles long and from two to three
miles wide.
The run-off in the Columbia river
is slightly below average at this time
but it is considerably below the leve]
of last year. when the river came with
in several feet of reaching its peak
during the latter part of May. The
river stage at Coyote Rapids on Wed
nesday was 513.5 feet, compared to 8
reading of 522.1 feet on the same date
last year.
A backward spring has kept the flow
of the river down to considerable
extent, but during the past week il
began to rise at the rate of almos
half-foot a day. This week it ha'
slowed down, and for several days wa:
at a standstill.

Civic Opens
Press Agent
Skit Tonight
Director BurIeigh, Fanchon
Fattig Play Leads in
Louder, Please

All that meets the public eye and
ear can not be accepted as the whole
truth any more than believing all
that glitters is gold. and it will rest
with the Civic Theater cast of
Louder, Please" to prove that point
tonight in the first performance OF
the years third production.
Heading the Civic cast is Direc-
tor Frederick Burleigh as Herbert
White, Hollywood publicity specialist
whose philosophy is based on put
ting up a good front and letting the
rest take care of itself.
AS one of the three leading
ladies'" Fanchon Fattig will be seen
for the second time in a Civic play
about Hollywood publicity. Miss
Fattig played in last years once
in Lifetime" and came off with
honorS.
The story of Louder, Please"
concerns Polly Madison, a movie
star whose popularity is sagging.
For the purpose of boosting her
stock, Mr. White is called in. His
triumph is almost complete-he
has gotten his protege lost at sea-
when things begin to happen, things
which even he, press agent, never
dreamed could happen.
But Norman Krasna, the author,
dreamed they could happen, and the
resulting play has become known as
one of KraSna's most sparkling
dramatic efforts.
The play will be given each night
| through Wednesday.

Lead Born Here
Robert Loves Graduated
From Tech in 1916.

When an Indianapolis theatrical
son comes back after being away
for 10 years, it's time for rejoice
ing; but when he comes back twice
in one year, in two different plays,
it's time for real celebration.
Robert Loves, born n raised in
indianapolis, is playing one of the
male leads in The Old Maid" Pu-
liter prize play, which is to be seen
at English's for the last time to-
night. Mr.. Loves was seen as the
leading male in Pagan Lady" last
year. Previous to that he hadn't
been home for a decade
Mr.. Loves has had the expert
ences which make for we'll
rounded career. He has been in
successes and in distinct "fops."
It's all in the game. He admits he
had trouble learning his lines for
THE Old Maid" because the char
acterS beat around the bush rather
than coming to the point and that
just doesn't happen to be Mr.. Loves
personal idea of how to do or say
things. He likes the play though,
thinks it fine piece of writing.

School, graduated in 1916. He at
