One shipper exchange received tbe report
from the wenatehee section that the damage
In that particular section will run from 2
to 6 per cent. Parabaatla wired damage to
8UT mane. Delicious. Spitaenberg and Pear

the beneficiaries of life insurance real
ise more than passing benefits from

ing on tbe part of those who secure
life insurance is said to be responsible
for the loss of ' most of the legacy

Trench Credit Syndioate Closed
William P. Bonbright & Co., syndicate
managers, announce the closing of the
American syndicate participating in
the new $16,000,000 credit arranged
for French banks.
Like the two earlier credits of sim
ilar amounts negotiated by Messrs.
Bonbright & Co., Paris, In conjunction
with Bankers Trust company and Wil
liam P. Bonbright & Co., New Tork,
this new credit differs entirely from
such loans as the Anglo-French and
the recent British loan. Those loans are
represented in this country by the direct
obligation of the contracting nations,
while the new Bonbright credit is evi
denced by drafts drawn by the prin
cipal and most responsible of French
banking houses on American banks of
equal standing which accept and dis
count tbe drafts at a prearranged rate.
The drafts are then either held by the
banks themselves or sold, or it de
sired they may be redlscounted In the
federal reserve banks.
The proceeds then are available in
American dollars In New Tork and are
expended under supervision of Wil
liam P. Bonbright Co, the American
Syndioate Managers, only for Ameri
can products exported to France.

members and now County Assessor
Reed is to be asked to Increase the as
sessed valuation. No sooner was Lom

"The assessed valuation of the
property is only $1400. I move that s
copy of the letter be sent to the
county assessor."
It took the council less tiisa a min

was unanimously adopted. - The city
commissioners contended 'thai If Lom
bard valued his property at $100,000
it should . be assessed for- more than
$1400. The city engineer had fixed tbe
damage to bis property at $600.

of tha moat prosperous years la the

tbe annual report Just issued from Los
Angeles for the 1U-1$ seasoa by Q.
Harold Powell, general manager of tba
exchange.
National advertising, whereby Po
pie have been made familiar with the
many valuable uses of oranaea and
lemons, is credited with having much
to do with the Increase la consump
tion. During the season when Calif or
nla navel oranges are on the market -the
consumption of oranges ts two
doaen per month per family of five -and
during the summer when Cali
fornia Valencies are sold, one-half "
dozen per month per family. The av
erage consumption of lemons Is one
half dosen per family per month.
O rowers' Organlaattaa OeJaav It is
evident that the non-profit, 09-oper
atlve system of marketing citrus
fruits is steadily gaining In favor ia '
California, if one can take figures as
a guide the proportion of tbs crop
shipped through the exchange during
the 1916-16 aeaaon being 4tt per cent
larger than in the preceding year.
This Increase,'' writes Mr. Powell,
"represents the largest annual gala In

Since the close of the shipping season
several associations of growers have

An indirect tribute is paid the
greatly abused middleman when it is
pointed out that on transactions with

volume of business from bad debts ,
and all other causes amounted to only
