move postmasters and other execu
tive appointees from office without

ond and third class postmasters "with
the consent of the Senate." It also de

executive, charged with the adminis
tration of the government'! business,

APPLE FGfiECAST IS LOWER
Crop to Run 20 Per'Cent Lighter In
Washington Counties.
WenaU-hoe, Wash. The horticultur
al offices of Chelan, Okanogan, Doug
las and Grant counties have issued a
revised apple crop estimate, forecast
ing a yield of 11. So" cars of apples
instead of IS. 134 estimated last July.
This Is a reduction ot Sti37'cars or 20
per cent. It was made following a
very careful check of every portion of
the north central Washington fruit
district.
The drop in the probable apple ship
ment! Is nttribuitd by District Horti
cultural Inspectors George E. Harter
and V. II. Finnan to the early ripen
ing of the later varieties and the in
ability of the orthardiBt to got the
fruit off the trees before It fell to the
ground.
