UNFORTUNATE CONDITION
Major W. Lewis Rose, manager of the Wigrich ranch,
has been forced to the conclusion that "white help"
cannot be depended upon to harvest hops. Weeks ahead
of time, through advertising and other means, he engaged
a crew of approximately 800 people for the job, having
written assurances that they would be on hand at a sped
f ied time. Less than half that number out in an annear-
ance, and inquiries to the others brought not a single
reply.
The result was that the Wigrich was able to harvest
out part of its crop. How much this loss is to the ranch
is not Known, but had the entire crop been harvested.
between $15,000 and 20,000 additional money would
have been expended for labor alone. So it can be seen
that the loss is a heavy one.
English owned, the Wigrich has always been a very
loyal American institution, employing as far as possible
white help, but it has been decidedly discouraging to the
manager this year, and while no radical change is to
be the future policy of the management, Mr. Rose is em
phatic in the statement that never again will there be a
loss from a lack of help at harvest time.
A shortage of help was prevalent throughout the dis
trict this year, but the Wigrich suffered the heaviest
In the Yakima district of Washington only 60 percent
of the hops were harvested, but this was due to a desire
on the part of the growers to curtail production.

We've been planning for this announcement
of $25 suits for over a week. Here are the words
we received from our buyer, who has just re
turned from the east:
"I am sending you some men's and young men's Suits that will be 'knockouts'. I
haven't seen anything like them for the money in years."
The Suits arrived yesterday. Honestly made, goodlooking and the best of heavy
weight hard finished fabrics. See them today. This store is noted for quality goods
and these Suits are best clothes value, in this town.
