Kennewick q Wheat Market.

Kennewick has done fairly well this
year for district that makes no pre-
tentions at wheat raising. The Ken
newick Grain Co., that has handled
oil the grain shipped from this station
this year have up to date shipped out
over hundred cars of wheat. As each
car will hold something over thous-
and bushels of wheat this makes tot
al of over 100, 900 bushels. Mr.. Crow
ell, the bookkeeper of the company,
informs us that he has drawn checks
to date for over $50 900 in payment for
wheat bought by the company. He
also informs us that the company has
contracts standing out for wheat that
will keep the farmers busy hauling for
the next six weeks. This will bring
the number of bushels up near the
10000 mark and give kennewick the
right to call herself wheat shipping
point, along with the numerous other
things that she has to brag about.
