they insist, but only to Canada as a
part of the British empire.
They admit that the same sort OF
discrimination would be important
if a war can be imagined in which
Mexico is one of the belligerents,
but in which the United States Is
neutral. The exemption affecting the

Senator'S Indignant

A small group of senators is very
indignant over a proposed COM
promise in the neutrality bill, which
would exempt the Great Lakes and
inland waterways from the cash and
carry provisions of the senate bill,
and allow just that much of the
discretionary" powers granted the
President to which, in the house bill,
the senator's objected SO much.
This group Of senators has charged
all along that the real purpose of
the advocates OF giving the Presi-
dent SO much discretionary" power
was TO leave the United States gov
eminent free in all international
difficulties to cooperate, IL 1t
wished, with the British empire. In
fact, they have been naming parti-
cular men, notably, Norman fl.
Davis, as desiring an accord be-
tween the English speaking coun-
tries which, the senators feared.
would almost surely drift into an
alliance in the event of another
World war.
They point out that this proposed
compromise is very definitely in the
interest of the British, since most
of the traffic so exempted from
the cash and carry provisions OF
the senate bill would be on the
Great Lakes. AS only two countries,
the United States and Canada,
border on these lakes. the discrin-
ination, they point out, is manifestly
in the interest Of Canada.

Peach Harvest
Is Underway

Harvesting of the late peach crop
in this valley got underway the lat
! ter. part of last week, the first
straight carlot being shipped out
Tuesday night. The crop is much
shorter than last year, and is ex-
pected to be cleaned up by the lat
ter part of next week. Estimates
place the entire output, including
Rochesters, Elbertas and Hales, at
80 cars, while last year nearly d
cars of Elbertas and FIales were
shipped from the valley.
The bulk of the late crop has
been sold at IS cents box for Ell

Last years ruling price was SO and
IS cents.
Picking of Jonathan apples will
get underway next week, quotations
on this fruit being $1.25 per box

ger. This price is not as high as
that received for the first ship
ments last year, but the same as
the. ruling price through the har
vest season.
A total of about three cars Of
prunes were harvested in the vail
ley this year, the last shipments
being made last week. Two straight
cars were shipped, the balance be-
ing in small lots. Growers received

District Must
Match Funds
With $26,400
Sale Of Bonds To Raise
Amount Expected To
Be Completed Soon.

A PWA grant of $21 900 for the
cleveland irrigation district was
approved by the Washington, DC,
office of the federal agency Tues
day, according to a telegram re-
reiyed by the Spokesman that day
from Senator Louis B. SchWellen-
zach.
A telegram to L. N. Fry, man
aging secretary of the district,
from E. r. Hoffman, Washington
state administrator of the PWA,
stated that the grant was condi-
tional upon the districts raising
SIG, 400.
This latter amount will be real
lied from the sale of bonds, on
which the district is now negoti-
ating, Fry states. 1t is practically
certain that the bonds will be sold
IN the near future, he declared.
Fry expects to go to Olympia In
q few days to discuss plans for the
project with Hoffman, Bids will
then be called for the installation
of pumps, construction of a con-
crete pump house, intake, 1000 feet
of 40-inch discharge pipe, about 10
miles of bitches and 1000 feet OF
hume.
Formation of the Riverland irri-
cation district was begun in 1884,
the organization being completed
April 2, 1885. Since that time, Fry,
as managing secretary and engln-
eer of the project, assisted by Mar
vim Chase, consulting engineer, has
been attempting to raise funds with
which to start construction of the
project.
"This project will bring about
5000 acres of raw land into produc-
ton under one of the cheapest con-
,struction costs per acre of any irri-
cation district in the state" Fry
states. 1--WE expect to put IN the
hest system available, at a cost of
about $4,000.
"Cost of the irrigation water per
acre will be less than SIS per year
including bond redemption, interest
and maintenance costs.
