Fine Peach Yield

4. ]. Smith is showing some very
fine Early Crawford peaches grown
on his ranch west of town. There
are four trees about ten years old
remaining alive from the old ditch,
on which the peaches grew to per.
lection, ranging from 8 to IL inches
in circumference and weighing a half
pound each. From the four trees
Mr.. Smith sold on the local market
1900 pounds OF peaches at 6 to'S cents
a pound. He has already received
over $So in cash from the sale OF the
fruit of the four trees and had besides
200 pounds put up for home use. At
this writing there still remains Is to
100 pounds of peaches on the trees.
Ii the entire product of the trees had
been sold the return would have been
something above $25 per tree. The
fruit ranches in this locality have
been the most successful producers
OF peaches this year. 2. f. MOrs'
have also marketed Il large number
OF peaches this season. The location
here Is a very superior one for fruit
growing.

Big Day for Lutherans.

Last Sunday was a big day for the
kennewick Evangelical Lutheran
congregation. it's new pastor, Rev
Henry BrOckmann, being then or
dalned into the office of the holy min
istry and inst ,lled into the congre-
CATION.
Even as early as the time of the old
irrigation ditch. German Lutherans
moved into the kennewick val ey and
the work for the Lutheran church
was first begun some eight or nine
years ago by Revs. Gihrinj and Toln-
jes; but with the collapse of the Id
ditch project the people moved away
and the work was discontinued.
The advent of the N. P canal again
brought kennewick to the front and
among the thousands who since have
found cOngenial hon es in the beauti-
ful and fertile valley are also many of
the Lutheran church. The work
among the Germans was resumed by
Rev. Muller of Milan, Wash, sue
ceeded by Rev. Herman Bohl of North
Yakima, who has had charge up to
the present time In 1904 and 1905 a
great many people from Genesee.
Idaho, moved in here. a number OF
them being veteran members of the
Norwegian Lutheran church there
These invited their former pastor,
Rev. o. G. Helleckson, to come and
preach to them, which he promised
to do. visiting Kennewick for the
first time in the summer of 1904
During the winter of the same year q
congregation was organized and Rev
HellecksOn was called as pastor. He
accepted temporarily and has been in
charge ever since.
These pastors. however, had their
hands full OF work at home and lived
at such Il distance that they could,
therefore. devote but little time to
the work here; so the people natur-
ally desired to have their own pastor
who could live in their midst and de-
vote the greater part of his time to
their service. Last winter an agree
ment was reached between the Nor
wegian and German branches OF the
Lutherans by which the Germans
were to join the already existin con-
gregation and this hen to call a pas
tor to preach mainly in the English
language as ii language common to
all. BY receiving some aid from the
mission board, satisfactory arrange
ments were made to extend Il call
and Rev. Henry Brockmann of West
Point, Neb., accepted and arrived in
the city Tuesday.
The services in the Anon hall last
Sunday morning were largely at.
tended. BY authority of President
Behrens, Rev. Bohl assisted by Rev.

of ordination and installation which

And he must 90 to Sleepytown,
You lie down at the side of him
And whisper soothing little things
In childish words, such as you
frame
To tell the sound of beetle wings
And how the FREELY gets its fame.
And soon the world grows darker yet
And to the little fellows eyes
Strange, hidden dangers now beset
The shadows places in the skies (;
But you speak low and comforting
And tell HIM none of them are
there,
That near him is not anything
But what is good and kind and
fair.
Then trembling comes his little
hands
Out through the dark and finds
your face,
As though by touch he understands
That he is In the safest place;
And so with fingers on your cheek
He sighs contentedly to sleep
And you, you may not even speak,
So very, very still you keep.
Sometimes you. as a little child,
Shall fare into an unknown night
And shall yearn for the stars that
smiled
With all their soothing, drowsy
light;
And you, as little children do.
