The preliminaries wore duly enact-ed or approved or vetoed as the differ-enl party conventions had ordainedami at 5:16 what was left of thr notedHal Starks after his latest plungeambled out and arose to a point oforder and the disorder broke loose atonce.

Cashmere came t<> hat and werehe noohled upj but when Wenatcheec-;mir to the scratch they also weresoon holed up; but when Wenatcheetil the sth order of business wasreached. Then after Cashmere hadbeen voted down the county seatbunch finding themselves slightly Inthe majority changed the house rulesnnd voted themselves the hest men by"tie.

Till': THINNING DEMONSTRATIONAn Interesting thinning demonstra-

tion was held last Friday afternoon ailln Chumstick orchard. Mi-. Mickles,county agent, was in charge and hewas accompanied by Mr. Peters ofMonitor. Mr. Peters has had lou-den years' experience in growing ap-pies in this valley and lias made .\u25a0:thorough success, lie started in within knowledge of the Industry and

jplanted all the different varieties h •| had ever heard of. Then after a fewI years of hard work and lyine; awakenight* he began marketing apple-.some of which brought enough to paythe freight Through the suggestion"I a dealer he was aroused to til'necessity of producing a large, led anfile anil set about trying In accomplish that result. Partly through ac-cideni ami partly through experlmen-tation he finally discovered that thin- 'ning ritfht down to a few boxes on 'each tree would result in the large,red apples he desired and that thetires would hear every year, and fromthat time on he has been very suc-cessful.

In the thinning demonstration hoastonished many by the seemingruthless manner in which he cut awaythe small apples until each tree car-ried hut a small fraction of what ithad contained.

The demonstration, it is believed,will he of great value to thr industryir this community. A large crow Iwas ))resent.

PIPED ORCHARDEOR SPRAYING PURPOSES

IS NEW WRINKLEW11.1.1W1 MOSS INSTALLS SYS-

TEM THAT Hi; SAYS is MORKECONOMICAL THAN PORT-\ui.i: svnw rig.

World: An orchard piped r<>:-n| raying, thus eliminatinK the porlable spraying rig pulled bj horses \u25a0>;

a tractor, i- the realization of an idea>t William Miis.- of Sunnyslope. It

came to him five or six years ago Unitrunning ipray material through pipe-tunder pressure, JU3I as water is runthrough underground mains in a city,Would He economical. Km (hat reas-on, he 'liil not purchase a spray i-i, 1.

Hut has employed others to do hisspraying. This spring lie broughthis idea to fruition, and installed thepipe line ami pumping station.

It Works satisfactorily.Mr. Moss has built a 1000 gallon

concrete mixing tank just below hisirrigation pump. The walls of th:s<tank are six Inches thick. Besides iti- operated by the same electric moto

which operates the irrigation pump.It is the work of a minute to shiftthe bell from one pump to the other.

From this concrete lank, pipes ::\u25a0<out to all parts of the orchard.

In tlic mixing tank is a shaft withthree propeller-like blades, to agitatethe mixture. This is rotated by thes] ray pump as In the ordinary spray-ei rig. A pipe lead.- from the irriga-tion pump, and by the turn of avalve, water is diverted to the mix-ing tank.

There arc two main one Inch gal-vanized Iron pipes that serve most oftin orchard. These pipes arc burie Iten inches, At 160 fool intervals a>estbmlpipes. Below the high line canalserving a small section of the orchard, arc three-quarter inch pipe

"The chief advantage nf this sytern, says Mr. Moss, is that it i-economical. It sa\es the maintonai.ee of horses or a tractor to pu'lthe sprayer wagon, It is nol nece*sary In have a wagon. H laves thetime used to haul npray rigs hack an 'forth from the . filling station, lisaves time in mixing, inasmuch as thjconcrete tank holds 1000 gallons, \u0084

live times as much as an ordinal.\u25a0pcrtable tank-. It saves the wear amitear on machinery incidental to mo\ing it about over rough ground. Itsaves the damage to irrigating ditch-et>. It saves damage to alfalfa. IIsaves the damagp ti> branches cause !by the scraping of the wagon againstthem. It save- the labor of one man.who ordinarily drives the spray wag-on

"Further, it gives the udvantag 'steady work. There are fewer broa!<downs than when a portable riirured. The machinery is lirmljmounted on concrete liases, and i-more easily kept efficient. The pr-ure is more steady, because an elec-tric motor is used instead of an igni-tion engine."

The whole installation cost M.-.Moss about $760,-or less than a port-able spray rig coats, lie used 230(1feel of one-inch galvanized iron pipand (50 feet of three-quarter inchpipe. He uses rubber hose 100 feellong to reach the trees. The «prapump is the same as thai used on theportable rig,

Each standpipe serven a block of10 tIVPS.

One man may use the spray. \\ Mia portable riir two muni ordinarily l>.'11-ed.

Several nei«hi)orM of Mr. Moss planto Install similar plantx next sprinjr.

The unions have been voting uponthis matter and it is probable thatthey will itrike, rather than acceptthe l>i>r cut. The Leavenworth men,we understand, are strongly in favoiof .1 itrike if the road attempts t.>pul Into effect a cut larger than tlr\u25a0\u25a0

made by the labor board. The menare not laying much. The vote hasbeen taken, however, and from themeagre information gained it i- ex-pected that there will be a tieup.

The cut niade by the governmenboard koos into effect today and it itunderstood that the larger cut ii to

I become effective at the same time. Ifjthis be true the strike may come at.once.

Later, we are informed that the cutis expected to effect only shop, officeand section men, and not trainmen.I' la also reported a* coming from St.IV.ul that the cut will not be madeefleetive thii year.
