THE GIANT.

There came giant to my door,
A giant free and strong.
His step was heavy on the floor,
His arms were ten yards lonsl
He seowled he frowned, he shook the ground,
| trembled through and through
AT length looked him in the face,
And cried Who cares for you?"
The mighty giant as spoke,
Grew thin and pale and small;
And through his body, (as 'twere smoke
/ saw the sunshine fall.
Such giants come to strike us dumb,
But weak in every part
They melt before the strong man gaze
And fly the true of heart.

4 NEW RAILROAD.

kennewiCk is to have a new
railroad soon. Such is the direct
information given to c. y. Lundy,
kenneWiCk's representative on the
boat landing proposition by Second
Vice President c. NJ. Levy on Mon
day i'll the latter's office at Tacoma.
I'VE cannot see our way clear to
give Kennewick a boat landing
and river connection this year. >
said Mr.. Levy speaking for the
Northern Pacific management
but we have something better.
You people at Kenrewick can de-
pend on the construction ii the I'M
mediate fnture Of road through
through the valley to connect with
the Sunnyside extension from
Mabton. Eventually the line will
be extended down the Columbia
to Portland. KenneWick will be a
junction point with full compile
ment Of yards and switches, a rail
way center Of Importance. On the
Portland route the right Of away
has been already secured for the
greater part Of the distance. Large
markets will then be opened to
Kennew;ck farmers under the pres
ent ditch and those settling on land
under the Leadbetter canal that
will be put in by the government.
kenneWiCk will be the railroad
town between Spokane and the
Coast.

NotOWn or community can afford
to be without the best schools at
taina bic. The residents of a COM
munity have 10 right to curtail the
education Of the young. Whenever
the school facilities become made
quate Oh account of cramped quart
ers, too few teachers for the number
enrolled or a course Of study not
not sufficiently advanced for many
of che pupils, then that community
should expaud its school system to
meets the lerger needs. IN the pro-
viding of school rooms it is cheaper
to build than to pay rent. A peti
tion has been circulated and largely
signed by our citizens, stating the
need Of a new school building The
school board is soon to have meet
ing to consider the matter and such
liberal action as the situation de-
mands will undoubtedly be taken
by them. They have already taken
steps to ascertain the number of
pupils qualified to do high school
work. Conversant with the COM
nuility's needs and backed by the
excellent public sentiment here a
central high school will be one of
the immediate public improvements
of kenneWiCk.

Timely Strawberry Notes.

In the spring of 1901 came from
Minneapolis to this pleasant Yaki-
ma valley locating at Prosser, coun-
ty seat of the newly formed Benton
county. Propagating strawberries
and selling plants have leen given
close attention since. The Clarke
Seeding is the berry of uncommon
quality for shipping, splendid flavor
and dark red to center. The only
complaint being that they were
rather shy bearers. I have now
selected from good bearing hills for
four years and find them full up to
the standard of productiveness. l
have tested over IS different varie-
ties in this valley and from this
practical experiment consider the
following leading profitable sorts:
Warfeid Brandywine, Sample and
Magoon as shippers. For close
markets Haverland and Enormous,
very prolific. The War6eld has
uncommon good qualities for can
ming, because it holds its peculiar
fne flavor better than any berry I
ever tried. The only objection to
the Marshall is its sparce bearing,
but it has the delicious wild berry
flavor, is very sweet and large.
AT this season strawberry raisers
should not loose sight of the fact
that from now until winter plants
are making CROWNS. Every runner
cut from hills of prolific and vigor-
Gus origin, results in an additional
crown. Keep runners off. Cut at
least every two weeks, and trim
close SO as not to have parasites
drawing nourishnent from the
mother plant.
Manure literally now and give
fairly deep cultivation up to Aug
ust, then gradually going shallower
as the season progresses. In no
business can a man engage to get
more pleasure and profit tor the
money invested than to grow straw
berries and I know of noiplant that
will SO readily respond to good
treatment in measure of hundred
fold as the strawberry, Who would
expect to raise fine, large thrifty
cabbage head among weeds? Yet

The Farmers Bank.

You can't bust the milk man
is a common saying and a true one.
The reason is also given in the
same terse language. He goes to
town every day and brings back
money Milk and butter are in
daily use and good prices are glad
ly paid for good articles. All our
valleys are wealth producers but
they should produce more We
should develop them to the utmost.
They are all the gold mines we
need if we will work them right.
We need more COWS, more good
ones. We need a creamery. We
eau raise the alfalfa and the stock
and turn golden butter into golden
coin. kenneWick should produce
sufficient dairy products to supply
all her needs and be a large shipper
of these commodities to the outside
trade. Let's do it! Get busy
buy or raise more COWS.
