INDUSTRIES START
rs RELATED

Government estimates of total
1897 fruit production, placing this
state almost six million bushels OF
apples ahead of the second high
est state and next to the top in
pears, drew attention to the early
commercial attempts as revealed in
information gathered by a WPA
field writer ON the American Guide,
federal writers project.
According ito historic records, Sc
astian Lauder and Charles and
Joseph Schanno, who first began
the tide Of immigration to the va
lkina valley, inaugllrated Washing
toms first steps toward apple SUI
premacy when they dug a small
ditch to divert water from Wide
Hollow Greek to their fields and
gardens.
From these first crude attempts
grew the great irrigation projects
of today such as the Yakima Val
lev and the Ro1a reclamation.
The Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics of the United States depart
ment of agriculture August 10 esti-
mated Washington's total apple
crop at 29,40O,OO0 bushels, which is
100000 bushels less than the July
estimate but almost q million and
a half bushels more than the final
crop figures for Last year Estimated
total production for the second
highest state, New York, is 23,800,-
600. washington pear production is
set at an estimated $40, 600 bushels,
exceeded only by the California
production.

FIRE CHECKED BEFORE
MUCH DAMAGE DONE

Fire threatened the B. G. Root
home at Hanford Monday after.
noon, but was soon controlled, a
woodpile and small building be-
ing entirely destroyed before the
blaze was checked.
The fire, which started in the
yard, was discovered by MIR. Stroud,
a neighbor, who happened to be
passing by, and who called nearby
residents who checked the blaze.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Root we're out

probably have been beyond control
had it not been discovered so quick

SUGGEST A SQUELCH
why not squelch all this
Scarlet O'Hara business? pens
Mrs. Sam Davis. Naturally it
must be a box office name, so
who better than Joan Crawford
and no one but Clark Gable
could do Rhett Butler"
Iszatso? Director Christy Ca
banne thinks Preston Foster has
the Rhett Butler role cinched.
But some M-G-M star is likely
to get Scarlet. Inasmuch as the
United Artists national conven-
ton was given the names of all
Selznick pictures on the next
years program, and Gone With
the Wind" was not among them,
looks as though M-G-M will re-
lease it, if and when produced.
So it might be Norma Shearer.
But this could go on forever.
Or could it? Second the motion
to squelch.

Fox convention that the Will
Rogers pictures crossed more than
100000 for that corporation in
1886. The leader of the reissue
features was Connecticut Yam
kee," which ran up crosses Of
100000.
1t sets up most unusual prece-
dent and demonstrates that the
beloved Observation-Disclosures had
such a hold on the affections of
the movie-going public it survives
after death.
In the case of earlier idols who
were cut down at the height of
their screen fame, the reissue of
their hit pictures was something
less than a success. Hard to ex.
plain why, except there is a gen.
eral feeling that watching stars
who have gone to glory and the
Great Beyond constitutes a de.
pressing experience. This applies
to the features of the late Marie
DreSsler, Rudolph Valentino and
Lon CLANCY.
