LANGILLE WENATCHEE ORCHARDISTS EXPECT A BUMPER CROP Wenatche, Wash.--Mild weather has caused the fruit growers to pre pare for the coining season aud hun dreds of acres of fruit trees are now lielng pruned. Krult spurs uever showed up with the same abundance as this spring and predictions for the coming crop exceed any thing In the history of the valley. One thousand acres of new orchard will come Into tearing this season. Resetting Trees I'lilformly poor results havefollow ed the replacing of trees that died Im mediately by other trees of the same kind. Rut If the hole Is opened up In the fall and allowed to lie until In the spring It Is safe to then plant out a tree of the same kind as that which died. The hole should be opened out a good deal wider aud deeper than necessary to receive the new tree. The purpose should tie to get out a large part of the dirt around the root system of the first tree that occupied the land.

SHIVELY &TDRISCOLL Phone 62-X COMMISSION REFUSES TO GRANT COMPETING LIGHT AND POWER FRANCHISE The Massachusetts Board of Electric Light Commissioners in refusing recently to grant to the city of Haverhill, Mass., a competing light and power franchise issued the following statement: "Experience shows that the exploitation of a new company in territory already occupied does not necessarily depend for its financial success upon the sale of electricity to the city and its citizens. That it is by no means the only source of profit to such company. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the profits of a new concern do not so much depend upon its dealing with the public as upon relations which it may be able to establish with the company first in the field." "If the request of the new company be granted, it may naturally be expected that for the time both city and commercial lighting will be offered by both companies at considerably less than present rates, but such competition, under the conditions in this case is sure to be expensive, even though for a time apparently economical or profitable. We may confidently expect, first losses, then profits; losses in the conduct of the business and the struggle for the control of the situation; then profits in the later union or consolidation with losses for a time in the supply of electricity to be converted later into new capitalization as a perpetual and irremedial burden on the pub lic. The temporary advantage to a portion of the public is reasonably sure to be followed by an undue burden upon the public as a whole, through the larger capital demanding a return, much of it representing unnecessary duplication of properties as well as losses." Another authority says: "We do not find that this condition can be escaped where a new plant is taken over by a municipality as the private company operates more cheaply than the city and its enlargement is constantly being subjected to the contingency of bond issues or direct taxa tion both of which are objected to by the people." CWe are discussing the light situation this week simply from an educational standpoint. A standpoint which the people can overcome by not encouraging unnecessary construction. As in other states the solution of the light and power rate problem must be left finally to a public service commission, a contingency which has been provided for and which the people of the state will vote on next November.
