the telephone company stated that
Ambrose B. Killen, repairman at
Dover, had received honorable men
tion for his prompt rendition of
first-aid to a resident of Dover,
who was suffering from loss of
blood caused by cut artery in his
wrist. The award to the Diamond
State organization is one of the few
group awards made in the Bell
System since the Vail memorial
fund was established in 1921. Vail
awards, it was explained, are made
to telephone employees in resogni-
ton of outstanding acts or public
services which conspicuously illus
trate the ideals of public service
held by the late Mr.. Vail, former
president of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
The following citation accompanied
the announcement of the recogni-
ton given the Diamond State Com
pany employees: For conspicuous
devotion to duty and for extra
ordinary labors in the statewide
restoration of service. The bliz-
zard of January % and "a. 1885,
severe in all parts of Delaware, fell
heaviest on the central and south
ern parts of the state. Sleet and
gales prostrated practically every
open-wire toll line south of Smyr-
ma, 1850 poles were crippled, Ia
exchanges were isolated, and local
plant badly damaged. The heavy
snow which Immediately followed
the sleet together with storm OBJ
structions, made roads impossible,
and for over a week the tempera-
ture held close to zero. Before the
height of the blizzard was reached,
the Diamond State organization
was bucking the blocked roads to-
wards it's center. AS patrols
brought word to Dover of the ex-
tent of the damage, it was clear
that the emergency was beyond the
resources of the Diamond State or
ganization, and men and trucks
from Pennsylvania were called for
and emergency materials ordered
in wholesale. Traffic women stay
ed at their switchboards, many
sleeping in the rest rooms at night,
to help with the disrupted traffic.
Commercial employees got quick
word by whatever means available,
to all subscribers advising as to
the extent of the damage and the
measures being taken to correct it,
and undertook to find living accom-
mediation for the several hundred

DimOnd Not To Law In Regard
 Patents Claims
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. June 18-Ob- Jections from the territory of Al aska prompted Delegate Anthony J. Dimond to announce that he would impress for enactment at this session his bill to reduce the time for adverse claimant protest to grants for Alaska mining claim patents, which he said had been requested by Senator Wagner to kill the bill of the com mittee which had already passed the house.
 It was thought first that there could be no serious objection to this bill but since he has receiv- ed prostests from oldtime pros pectors who are apprehensive that it would place them al a disadvantage with larger opera tors and would limit the time for filing adverse claims to sixty days after the close of publica- ton of existing laws which al- lows eight months as was en- acted, Dimond said. because of the hardships of travel and bad communication in the territory, which made it difficult for p.as- pectors to keep closely informed of developments.
 Dimond said he was consider ing the reintroduction at the next session a bill authorizing federal appropriations for agricultural experiment and extension work in Alaska A bill was sent to the white house by congress that the house passed last night, and Dimond said it authorizes seven ty-fve hundred dollars for Alas ka the first year with graduated increases thereafter, until a per manent total of forty-seven thou sand dollars is reached at the end of ten years.
 Most of the initial appropria- tions will probably be expended on experimental farms at Matan- uska Valley and Fairbanks. He said he anticipated the presiden- tial approval of the bill which received favorable reports from the agricultural and interior de- partments and the budget bureau

Prices On All
Varieties OF
Fruit Uneasy
Rochesters Still Bringing
Growers so Cents
Per Box

Uncertain demand this week kept
prices on nearly every variety OF
fruit at lower point than had
been expected, with the possibility
that on some varieties the prices
would drop in the near future.
Rochester peaches are bringing
local growers so cents net per IL
pound box for 84's and larger, but
the fruit has not sized up as well
as in other years, and much OF the
local fruit is smaller than this size.
Two straight cars of this variety
have been shipped out of the valley
within the past week, with a num-
Der of express shipments also being
made.
Local growers have been offered
$50 per ton for fancy and better
Bartlett pears delivered this week,
but prices after this date are very
uncertain. Reports from Yakima
are that handlers there are offering
the fruit at $3.50 per box, but there
are few takers, and it is said that
the price is set to drop soon. Can
neries have not yet entered the
market.
About one car of winter banana
apples will be shipped from herr
this season. The only price known
to have been made on this varlet!
is 80 cents per packed box to thu

SET VALUATION ON
COUNTY PROPERTY

Real and personal property as
sessed valuations for Benton county
for 1886 will be $4,782 800, accord
ing to statement released by Ben
Knox, county treasurer. last week.
This valuation does not include the
railway, power company, ferry and
telephone company properties, which
are assessed by the state tax COM
mission. This assessment has not
vet been made so the final amount
is indefinite although it is expected
that the total of all property Will
be more than it was in 1888 When
it totaled $8,387 1881.
Sales of property in Horse Heav-
en- and from the various Irrigation
districts have added much property
to the tax rolls.
"Not a single assessment was
made with the idea that more TAX
revenues. would have to be raised"
declared Mr.. Knox. Assessments IN
the Rattlesnake were raised more
than they were in the Horse Heav-
en-. Some valuations were raised IN
Prosser. In Kennewick we found 10
buildings that had never been on
the rolls and one that had been
that had been assessed at $500 we
raised to $4,000 and it Is not TOO
high now. Some properties in Han
ford and White Bluffs had never
been on the tax rolls. Properties
which we considered assessed too
high we have lowered.

CONFERENCE IS
HELD ON LOCAL
BARBER RULING
Beauticians Ask Mayor for
Interpretation of City
Ordinance.

A committee representing the
Indiana Association of Beauticians,
headed by Charles l. Anderson,
president and attorney, conferred
with Mayor Kern today regarding
the effect of enforcement of the city
ordinance on barber shop inspec-
ton.
Mr.. Anderson, who said he ex-
pected to file temporary injunc-
ton in county court this after
noon. pointed out that 30 per cent
Of the beauty shops in the city
would be forced to close unless they
are exempted from the ruling.
Beauty shop inspection, Mr.. An
derson contends, is covered in an
act of the last Legislature. The
city ordinance, he states, was
passed without knowledge of the
beauticians and necessitates three
inspectors, who periodically check
shop sanitary conditions.
On the committee with Mr.. An
derson were A. F. Ellis, Paul Korby,
Mrs. Beatrice Montague and Mrs.
Jean Hill.
James E. Deery, Corporation
Counsel, told the Board of Health
that the city ordinance did not af-
feet beauty shops, concurring with
Mr.. Anderson regarding the act Of
the Legislature.
