Der of ladies OF the Rebekah Lodge

Can Not Blame Inspector.

Fruit inspectors who condemn in
fected fruit in conscientious per-
formance of their duties can not be
held liable, although it has been
since determined that they were
without authority because the law
providing for appointive county
fruit inspectors is unconstitutional
and void. The supreme court has
so held in affirming the judgement
in the case of K. W. Stafford, ap-
pellant, vs.. J. NJ. Brown and F. A.
Huntley, respondents. Brown was
a county fruit inspector in Yakima
county; F. A. Huntley is the state
horticulturist commissioner. The
officials destroyed a shipment of
fruit which they found infected with
codling moth and other pests. The
trial court sustained the demurrer
of the state and dismissed the suit,
which action is affirmed by the SUI
preme court.

Win Opening Game

The Kennewick ball team lived
up to what was expected of them
last Sunday by winning the open
ing game of the season from the
Connell Reds on the latter's ground
by the close score of II to 10. The
kennewickers were in the lead dur
ing the first part of the game but
two bad errors, one in the outfeld
and one in the infeld when the
bases were full enabled the Reds to
overcome the lead our boys had
piled up and there was a whirland
finish in which it was anybody's
game. Dutch" pitched the first 4
innings and Boyer finished the
game. Both were hit freely and in
fact stick work was the strong fea-
ture of both teams. No tabalated
score of the game is available but
the score by innings is as follows:

Big Fires are
Narrowly Averted
By Quick Work of the Fire Depart.
ment.

Monday was fire alarm day in Ken
newick. Two blazes starting in
different parts of town and consider
ing the high wind that was blowing.
it was certainly lucky that by good
work the Fire Department prevented
serious cOnflagratiOns. The first
fire occurred in the shed back of the
kennewick Machine Shop. 1t prob
ably caught from a spark from
the forge. Mr.. Fred Lrard saw
the smoke issuing from the roof
and gave the alarm. The fire boys
made Il very quick run laying a line
Of hose from the bank corner and
throwing Il stream of water on the
fire In two minutes. A few minutes
delay and the fire would have got
in its work on East Front street
and the kennewick Transfer Burn.
There was Il large quantity If gaso-
line distillate in the shed but the
prompt work prevented the fire
reaching 1T. The loss was slight.
The first fire occurred after II O'Clock
and hardlyhadt the hose been rolled up
when j. = Rose phoned In a second
alarm from his residence. The flames
were bursting out from the barn Of
Mrs. F NJ Simpson and the building
was about half consumed when Hose
Cart No arrived Immediately
Captain Baughman's barn caught
aud the high wind made it impOssibl
to save either building and the hard
fight came to save Captain Baugh-
mans fine residence. Hose Cart No
2 arrived and two streams of water
were put on the fire and also on the
residence to prevent it from igniting.
When the barns and contents were
entirely consumed after about half an
hours fire the houses nearby were
considered safe. Captain Ralph
Baughman's house ia badly scorch-
ed and he sustained considerable
damage from water. broken window
glass and furniture. The Simpson
barn contained several sets of har-
ness. a good hack and the NOW was
filled with hay. Her loss is over $500.
none OF which is covered by insur-
ance. Baughman has Insurance but
no estimate of his loss has been made
If there had been three minutes delay
his residence would surely have
burned. Too much credit cannot be
given to the Fire Department for
their good work.

moving at once to their home at
White Bluffs. WASH. where they liv-
ed most happily for four months,
when God called her to her reward
on April 25th. 1908.
None but those who have sat in
the shadow of a great bereavement
can justly weigh such a sorrow as
this one which has fallen upon the
husband with such despairing force
and upon parents and brothers aud
sisters, Those who have gone down
into such valley OF suffering know
the tenderest word we might waite
or speak affords no solace for such IL
sorrow. We can only by firm hand
clasp and with over flowing hearts
silently express our deepest SYM
pathy with the bereaved and sorrow
stricken ones.

The Weather Mans Visit.

G. \. Salisbury, section director
of the L. S. Weather Bureau with
headquarters at Seattle, was in Ken
newick the first of the week visiting
the local station and conferring with
l.. W. Soth. the local cooperative
observer. The kennewick station
has been maintained for eleven
wears and it's records cover a suffi-
GENTLY long period to make valu-
able and the averages taken from
them give an accurate idea OF the
prevailing temperature and indicate
the climate.
Mr.. Salisbury was making his tour
to the different cooperation stations
of the state and had come up from
Portland on the North Bank stop
ping at Lyle, Goldendale, Cliffs and
other points where the Bureau
maintains stations. The bureau has
something like 100 stations in the
state and permanent record OF
temperature, rainfall, wind. frost
and other phenomena is kept in
ashington D. c. the headquarters
of the Bureau. This accurate data
can be secured in printed form on
application. While Mr.. Salisbury
was here arrangements were made
to have Postmaster Scott display
the daily telegraph weather fore
casts which he will receive from
Portland between s and y O'Clock
every day. A little later the wealth
er flags will he displayed. This SER
vice will be especially valuable to
the farmers during the fruit ripen-
ing period.

Two Interesting Decisions

Two decisions just rendered by
the state supreme court are of wide
spread interest. The Supreme court
at Olympia last week decided that
the city of Colville has a perfect
right to revoke licence to run a
saloon and keep the unearned por-
ton of the cash paid for the privi-
lege, if it wants to. Also that it is
proper, under the law, upon con-
viction of the saloon percharged
with the sale of liquor to minors, to
revoke the license. These two points
were decided in the case of Arnold
Kruger, who, two years ago, ran
what is now known as the Idaho
Bar. He paid $3.50 for an annual
license, ran one month, was con-
victed in the justice court for SELL
ing intoxicants to minors. A tran
script of the the judgement of
conviction filed with the council
was their authority for revoking his
license, which they did and kept
the whole $50. Kruger sued the
city for the unearned portion of the
money and lost in the superior
court. He appealed and lost again.
The revoking of licenses should
be resorted to to a greater extent than
now is in many cities where saloon
keepers persist in disregarding the
laws governing Their business. 1t
would prove effective when a fine is
ineffective. The knowledge that
such a policy would he vigorously
adopted would work wholesome
change.
The other decision to the effect
that any gambling game, whether
conducted in public Or in private
place, is unlawful and punishable.
The decision in the gambling case
may stop private gambling alto
gether, but it conveys warning that
will probably deter many from in
dulging in games whereby they incr r
the penalty of the law.

Special Car for
KenneWick Berries
Express Company Plans Best Scr.
vice for Kennewick Shippers.


Northern Express company, of
Portland, was in town Sunday even
ing comforting with Jas. A. Rose,
manager of the Fruit Growers asso-
citation. Agent c. w. Wiegel, J. Ser
combe and Frank Emigh with ref
erence to the strawberry shipments
by express. I'VE want you to un-
de rstand that we will take the best
possible care of your berry ship
ments in the way of promptness and
care in handling," said Mr.. Hall.
Let us know what you want and
we will take care of you" The
Spokane commission men prefer to
have their berries arrive on No. 4
and for shipments to Helena and
and adjacent points on the main
line l recommend No. 4. Butte,
Anaconda and points on the loop
shoule be reached by shipments on
train No. 6. No. 5 and Is will be
principally used for the west bound
shipments. A special car will be
brought over from Pasco by the
switch engine early in the evening
for loading and will be taken on
east by No. 6 from Pasco. This is
the most convenient arrangement
as the berries can be brought in by
the growers after the days picking
is completed. The berries on this
special car 60 through to destination
without transfer and therefore are
not damaged by extra handling.
When the berries are coming in in
the largest quantities an express car
will also be switched over from
Pasco in the afternoon and loaded
in time to 60 east on No. 4 at $50
p. m. With these two cars every
day to Spokane and points to which
the large shipments are made east
and No. 16 for small shipments to
local points between here and Spo-
kane the east trade could not be
better provided for. The straw
berry crate is billed at 30 pounds
which is trifle more than it
weighs.
The special fruit rate to Seattle
is sl.O5 per hundred pounds and to
Spokane 85c per hundred. By spe-
cial arrangement Finley and Hover
on the Portland & Seattle get the
same express rate on fruit ship
ments as Kennewick. The Fruit
Growers association will put man
at Finley to receive the berries and
other fruits and they will be billed
on the afternoon passenger train by
the express messenger on the train
ifan agent is not installed in the
Finley depot before the berry season
is over. The special telephone line
down the Canal to Finley has been
connected up and is in use so that
the growers there can be kept in
close touch with the market at any
time in the day. The unusual
transportation facilities Kennewick
and the Valley has, gives the ship
pers here an excellent and prompt
service to the markets with the least
possible delay and disadvantages.
TO have the berries reach the mar
ket in the best condition is dollars
to the grower.

PLUMBERS DANCE A SUCCESS.
Two Hundred Couples Enjoy Hop at
Armory Hall.


Armory Hall.
With an attendance of about 200
couples, the dance Of the Plumbers
union, given in Armory hall last night,
proved to be one of the most success
full and enjoyable of the season. The
hall was artistically decorated in blue
and yellow draperies, the colors of the
plumbers union, and a special lighting
effect was carried out. One of the feat
ures of the special program was the
competitive waltz, won by Miss Effie
Fairweather and Frank O'Harra. The
moonlight waltz was also of special
merit, the lights in the hall having
been turned out for the number to
give way to the soft rays of an arti-
fetal moon, which cast faint shadows
on the swaying forms of the merry
dancers. The music. furnished by Tru-
ants orchestra made a hit with both
spectators and dancers, and numerous
encores were responded to. Refresh
ments were served during the evening
from an attractively-deco booth.

PORTLAND WHEAT TOO HIGH
DEALERS DISCOVER
THAT QUOTATIONS ARE BEING
PADDED.

TACOMA, Jan. 17.-Wheat quota
tons in Portland, Ore, for some time
mast. haze been so much higher thai
the market in Tacoma as TO attract
attention of wheat men, and TO
cause surprise and incredulity. The
Portland notwithstanding to figures
given-has been fully one cent higher
than Tacoma, ard yesterday the flg-
ures given were two cents above those
.ouoted at Tacoma Bluestem was
rlaced at SO cents, whereas in Tacoma
the market price was Sc cents, ana
dealers protested that even those f1g-
ures were too high. Demand from Eu-
rope is light and the Orient demand
is nil. One big dealer finally said:
..Offer Portland $4,000 bushels at IS
cents. and the grain will be forthcom-
ing if accepted
The offer was Immediately wired.
bringing a prompt response:
..Bluestem at So is an error. No such
as we'll as yesterday is SIS. :
Thus the puzzle is solved. Why
Portland should pay figures so much
higher than those prevailing in Taco-
ma has beer a source of much annoy
ance to Tacoma dealers. The best
market prices are always paid In Ia
coma, and it is likely that hereafter
the Portland mark ct maker will ad-
here more rigidly to actual values.
