Legality Of Government RecIama.
ton Questioned.

1t appears from a decision of the
U $. Supreme Court last week that
that tribunal doubts the constitu.
tlonality of the 1922 Reclamation
Law.
Should the entire court follow the
ruling made by Justice Brewer, work
would be stopt ON the numerous gov
ernment irriga ton projects intended
to recl'iim nearly 81 million acres of
land. The court seems to hold that
the Constitution gives no authority
for such control of arid land as to in
'cluded reclamation by irrigation. In
addition to this the court expresses a
further doubt as to whether reclama-
ton work can be carried on by the
government where it owns less than
half Of the land.
Because irrigation is not one of'the
powers conferred on Congress by the
Constitution. A strict construction
ist view would deny to Congress the
authority to make laws providing
for it.

The Fat Mems Ball Game.

The ball game on the Prosser
grounds between the Prosser and
kennewick Fats was a hOtly con
tested affair, resulting in u score OF
13 to II in favor of the county seat
heavy-weights. The Kennewick 200
Founders put up the best game and
led in the score thruOut the game up
to the 9th inning. The boys claim
they got the worst of 1t in this inning
in variety of ways, putting out
four men, the Prosserites sneakt on
the batting order, putting up only
their best batters. The east end
heavy-weights are beathing forth
dire threats as to the vengence they
will have when the return game is
played here. The Heberlein boys
were the batting stars for kenne-
wick.

OF the Big Muddy. At this point il
is proposed to build q :large q I'm to
hold back the waters of the Big
klickitat and Big Muddy as there is
not water enough as it is for the

crew of lrvey ors at work and there
is no question but what the canal is

kuhnhausen, and will be great en-
gineering feat when accomplished -

Less Frost as Country Gets Older

Old residents of the Yakima valley
who have been here since the dam
aging frost this spring are of the
opinion that as our valley gets older
in cultivation and vegetation in
creases in quantity, danger from
frost damage will greatly decrease.
These men base their opinion largely
on their own experience.
The first years when their fruit
trees reacht bearing age, only a
slight frost would do severe damage
and sometimes practically destroy
the crop, in fact do .auchl Gcre dam
age than a heavy frost does now
They agree that such are the facts.
They are not able to explain why
this the case. One theory for 1t ad-
vanced by them that after the vege-
tati Oh becomes dense the sun rays
early in the morning must shine thru
RI haze or sort OF mist arising from
the vegetation, before striking the
plants. 1t is well known that the
suns heat on the plants coated with
frost is what does the damage. Here
in Kennewick as yet that protecting
haze does not appear and the sun
shines hot on the plants with the di-
rect rays within a few minutes after
it rises above rhe horizon. Older
trees are of course less easily dam
aged than young. tender ones

FINLEY FACTS.

The alfalfa has just commenced to

that it wonld not bloom on account
OF the late frosts but that idea is dis
PEELED now and the first cutting

Robt. Cannon has gone with two
teams to work with Duffy in Adams
county.
Roscoe Fisher has a position with
the railroad company at Finley,
keeping a list of the material that
comes in and goes out of town.

Sunday in kennewick 1t did here

YOUTHFUL NICK CARTER
CAPTURED IN PORTLAND

PORTLAND, April s.-George
Brown. armed with tin star of the
American Detective association and a
pair of brass knuckles, set out to do a
little soft shoe" work last night and
as a result landed in the city prison on
a charge of carrying concealed
weapon.
Brown. who bore unmistakable signs
of rusticity, is a member Of that or
ganization of sleuths, which furnishes
a certificate of membership and an en-
blem of alleged authority for 81 per
annum. The pseudo detective attracted
the attention of Patrolman Thorpe
and Patrolman Anundson by lettering
in the red light district without any
apparent business. When accosted by
the policemen, Brown disclosed his
identity in whisper, but his myste--
rious manner failed to impress the Off
GERS, and upon being searched the
brass knuckles were found in his
pocket.
The rival of Nick Carter was re-
leased later in the night upon deposit
of $25 cash bail. Upon being asked how
he enjoyed detective work, Brown
stated he made money easier than by
working.
