An assistant will be assigned to Mr. Nahs- toll in the near future to enable him to make more frequent visits to the vari­ ous districts. Special investigation of "Packing Houses and Storage Facilities,” con­ duct d by U. T. More. Mr. More is now in Washington to consult with his chief regarding this work, after having made a preliminary survey of the situ­ ation in the Northwest.
