approximately 60 per cent of the ap

tb. fact that many ex-service men
who originally desired to obtain the

any security acceptable to the state.
Tha only alternative for these men is
to accept cash compensation based
upon the time they served In th. army

Issued today by Director K. L. Krench
of the state department of agriculture.
It la hard to believe, tha state

erabl. number of farmer, will take
their Inspiration from thia decision
or ar. prepared to let their land li
Idle rather than produce food at i
time when th. great majority of th.
hit. people of tb. world ar. not

"There la a distinction to b. drawn
her.. It la proper and in soma In
stance, wis. for a farmer to cease
growing on. crop that ha. proved
unprofitable to him and to turn to
another which show, better possiblli
ties. There was sanity and wiadom
displayed by the southern farmer,
who in tha last few year, have limited
their acreage In cotton in order to de
vote that acreage to the production of
foodstuff, for which they had prevt
ously been dependent upon other
states. But to let any considerable
portion of th. farm acreage lie Idle,
a. apparently proposed by th. Wash
ington conference, la a colossal blun
der.
"There Is no prospect of production
In any staple line In excess of the
world's real and pressing needs, al
though It might b. possible, through
limiting production, to increase the
price so that the poorer cannot buy

No on. can forecaat the future, even

But If they deliberately reduce pro

what prospect will they have for tha

SEATTLE, Waslu. Feb. 4. In I
statement given out in Spokane to
day to a representative of the Post
Intelligencer, Major-General George
W. Goethals, who is engaged In mak
ing a survey of the Columbia basin
project for tho state of Washington,
declared he would not be able to In
spect the city's Skagit river project,
as he had previously intimated he
would like to do. General Goethals
said he would remain In Seattle but a
day visiting friends, and would then
go to San Francisco. Completion of
the work of surveying the basin
project may take ten days. It waa

PTJGET SOUND BUREAU. Olympla.
Wash.,' Feb. 6. If the membership of
th. Spokan. chamber of commerce is
possessed of th. average sense of
humor It has th. chance for anything
from a grin to a guffaw over the in
vitation that Seattle officially extends
to General Goethals to visit and in
spect the Skagit river power project.
Tacoma may also edge in on the mer
riment. It is considered very funny
here, especially around the depart
ment of settlement and reclamation.
hlch, in a way. .Is responsible for
General Goethals' presence in the
northwest at this time.
The well-known purpose of General
Goethals' visit is to investigate and
report on the Columbia river basin Ir
rigation project. He is already at
that job. and from the outset of the
negotiations to obtain his : exDert
opinion it has been understood that
his time is limited. Tho fee for his
services, all that he asked tor. is
thought to be sufficient to Insure his
undivided attention to the one task
up to the limit of his time.
Project Big to Seattle. .
From the Seattle point of view.
however, it seems that th. Skagit
project, now in process of develop
ment under a bitter controversial fire.
looms bigger than anything else on
earth. -As long as so distinguished
an engineer as General Goethals Is in
the neighborhood It was thought
good plan to invite him over and get
him to say something, after he has
finished frittering away his time with
he lesser concerns of eastern Wash
ington. A Seattle newspaper corre-
pondent. sent to meet General Goe
thals at Spokane, gave him first news
of th. Skagit. The general expressed
courteous conversational interest.
On the strength of this Acting Mayor
Hesketh of Seattle, City Engineer
Dimock and C. F. Uhden, chief engi-
eer or the bkagit project, united In a
cordial invitation to visit Seattle and
the Skagit. In noting the fact of the
Invitation, Seattle newspapers say
that If General Goethals comes he
will be the "guest of the city." In
other words, it will not cost him any-
taing for the privilege.
Seattle Once Refused.
But the humor of the situation lies
back of thq more recent facts. Se
me was once Invited to share In
the cost of bringing General Goethals
the state; only once, however, for
he first signs of reluctance to con
tribute were followed by prompt
withdrawal, of the invitation. The
first move to secure General Goethals'
services was made by Spokane, the
natural center of interest in the Co-
umbia basin development. Dan A.
Scott, director of the state depart
ment of settlement and reclamation.
came quickly to the front with proffer
all that remained of the fund ap
propriated by the legislature for the
urveys of the project. General
Goethals' fee is $25,000. Director
Scott's department furnished approx
imately fla.OOO. Tacoma promises
bout $2000. Spokane stands respon-
ible for the remainder.
Seattle refused to come into the
pot. And not only that Seattle spe
cifically spurned the Columbia river
basin project, and through its cham
ber of commerce, declared opposition
any such undertaking. Opinion in
Spokane and elsewhere throughout
the state is that Seattle went quite
a bit out of its way to "knock."
Now. with General Goethals close at
hand, and his compensation fully
cared for by others, Seattle folk be
come suddenly eager to have him
pass on their own private project.
Before reaching Spokane General
Goethals had asked Director Scott
to make it plain to all civic and social
organisations that he was not com
ing to fill any speaking engage
ments. This was in general response
to the many Invitations to dinners
and conferences that were showered
on the general by wire as Boon as it
was known that he was on his way.
Early reports of General Goethals at
work on the Columbia basin survey
show him plowing- through snow
and enduring a good deal of season
ably cold weather. Whether, when
this is dona. h. will regard a trip
into th. snow-clad fastnesses of the
Skagit as a diversion, remains to b.
seen.
Volume of Sales, However, De

year ending October 29, 1921. of f5,

expenses reduced the surplus account
from 113,271,796.20 to $1,299,255.43. a
decrease of over $11,900,000, according
to tho financial report made public
today.

that cash in bank is more than $2,

000,000. a ratio of about five to one.
Commenting on the report In a mes
sage to stockholders. Nelson Morris,
chairman of the board of directors,
said:
Th. year just closed has probably
been the worst year in the history of
both ta livestock and packing busl-
j. The tremendous drop in all
livestock and wholesale meat prices
to below pre-war levels has made it
impossible to operate except at a
loss."
CHICAGO, Feb. 5. The two fea
tures of the meat trade durinjr Janu
ary from the viewpoint of the consum
ing public wer the fact that whole
sale prices of fresh pork remained
practically unchanged despite an in
crease of about $2 a hundred in
the cost of live hogs, and the vigorous
demand for ham, a statement by the
institute of American meat puckers
said today.
Light stocks of pork and hogs at
market centers Indicate packers have
refused to accumulate large stocks at
present prices, the report said.
An effort is beln made to market
as much pork -as possible while It is
fresh, rather than to place it out
cured.
Trade was described as fairly good
for January. The market for live
cattle showed a lower trend, be
cause cattle receipts and beef ship
ments in January were heavier than
for the latter part of December, said
the statement.
Live lambs during the month
showed an Increase of over 2 cents,

mund Gehrig, Summiit orchardist,
whose neighbors, Philip, Alphonse and
Frank Kollas, are seeking to enjoin
from the use of the spring, is creat

that the recent adjudication of the
water rights of the Hood River val
ley, just passed on by circuit court,
grants them the waters of Yew Wood
creek. They declare that the spring
is a source of the creek.
The defendant, however, says that
the spring in question is fn marshy

channel until he cut one, developing
the waters of the swamp in supplying
his home with water and irrigating a

PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Feb. 5. Announcement that
the Great Northern Railway com
pany Is planning new facilities and
extensive improvements at Wenat
chee. Involving possible expenditure
of $500,000, will have no deterrent
effect on the efforts of the- promo
ters of the Wenatchee Southern Rail
way. News dispatches of February
1 from Wenatchee told of the pur
chase by the Great Northern of 60
acres south of the city, including two
tracts over which the Wenatchee
Southern had already surveyed its
right of way, andBpeculated on the
effect this might have on the pro-
Tvnaed new railroad. According to
Wenatchee men in Seattle this week
It may cause some slight modlfiea
tlon of the surveys for the Wen
itches Southern line, but will not
nhantrA the sreneral purpose.
The survey for the Wenatchee
Southern has been completed all the
wn v lhrourh from Wenatchee to
Kennewick, following down the west
bank of the Columbia river.
Coat Is Estimated.
FaiimatAfl have been made of con
ntnn mats- th maior portion oi
th. rttrt nt wav has been obtained,
and the deeds are ready to be placed
on file. The city of Wenatchee has
granted the new company rrancnise
for the use of certain streets and
alleys. The Wenatchee Southern's
application for a certificate of neces
sity has been received by the inter
state commerce commission at Wash
ington D. C, and has Deen reiertcu
to Governor Hart and the public serv
ice commission of the state of Wash
ington for recommendation. The
project, according to those interested
in it 'has thus been brought along
almost to the point of final determi
nation and the beginning cjf con
struction. The Wenatchee Southern company
was incorporated in October, 19-0.
The forces leading the -movement for
the new line were the Pomona grange
of Chelan county and' the Wenatche
Commercial club.
Th, smart fr. -numose is to build a
line of railway, comparatively of
short distance in itself, that will con
nect up with every transcontinental
line in the state. - At a point &J miles
south or wenaicuet- ti,.ii..w..
be made with the Chicago. Milwaukee
Xr St. Paul, with the assurance, it
was said, of joint-user privileges over
that line for the 47 miles Into Han
tnA Tho distance to be built from
Hanford to Richland, on the Northern
Pacific, is 21 miles, and from Rich
land to Kennewick approximately
eight miles. Tie proposed line con
nects with the Orejron & Washington
at a point about five miles west of
Kennewick.
The Wenatchee southern wouia
thus give a north-and-south line
through the state, from Oroville, at
the international 'boundary, to Pascc
with access to all- parts of the conn
try by its connections with four
transcontinental lines.
Work Is Financed.
Work on the project has been
financed by the people of Wenatchee
and along the proposed route, an
easy water grade all the way down.
The project originated in the losses
said to have been surtered. in past
years y the fruit growers of central
Washington caused by delay in the
movement of orchard crops. We
natchee fruit growers -have estimated
the 1919 loss in that district at ap
proximately $5,000,000. Some of this
loss, it was admitted, came back to
the growers in the settlement of their

claims', but they maintained that the
net loss of the one year alone would
have been sufficient to buildl a con
siderable stretoh of the new railroad.
Each year tho orchards of north
central Washington are producing a
greater fruit tonnage. The shipments
of the Wenatchee district in 1919
amounted to 12,156 cars, whereas
more than 14,000 ears movea out in
192L The Wenatchee district, proper,
has sjbout 14,000 acres under water,
but there Is now a plan for the irri
gation of 46,000 acres of land in that
part of the state which needs but the
touch of water to be fertile in the
highest degree. It is contended that
th. utmost possible enlargement of
facilities by the present single east-andt-west
transcontinental railway
would not be sufficient to meet th.
requirements if central and north
central Washington are to be further
developed.

Don't Stub Your Toe
NE dark night so the story goes a certain
monarch placed a large boulder in the middle of
the road. Thousands of his people, thereafter,
severely stubbed their toes or troubled to walk around.
At length, one lusty youth wiser than the rest 'seized
the stone and heaved it from his path. And where it had
rested, he found a bag of gold.
Are you stubbing your toe? Are you overlooking
any bags of gold? How about the advertising in this
paper? Do you read it consistently? It, is a bag of
gold to many of our readers.
In our columns you will find the advertisements of
alert, progressive merchants and manufacturers who
seek to tell you something they think you ought to know.
This advertising is news about the very things that inter
est you most articles that will save you money, lessen
your work, or add materially to your comfort and well
being. Thrifty men and women read advertising. To them
it is a plain, everyday business proposition a duty they
owe themselves and their purses. It tells them where
they can buy exactly what they want at a price they can
afford to pay.
Advertising pays them. They make it pay.
It will pay you, too. Read it.
