Big Meeting Of
Commercial Club
Many visitors from NeiehborinS
Towns.

The Commercial Club at its spec
ial meeting Tuesday evening enter
tanned a number OF visitors, includ-
ing II. P. James, secretary OF the
North Yakima Commercial Club,
and J. J. Rudkin, President f. F.
Benson of the Prosser Commercial
Club and General T. Fl. Cavanaugh;
Lee A. Johnson of Sunnyside and
Mr.. Morgan and two associates OF
Hermiston, Oregon. The attend
ancc of the Club was large, number
ing fifty.
Secretary James was the speaker
and proceeded to outline the plan
which the Club had been called to-
gether to consider. By way OF in
PRODUCTION he outlined the publicity
campaign carried on last year by
the Yakima Club by the use OF
literature, exhibits CT fruit, and by
carrying advertisements in Eastern
papers and the Club had employed
a secretary on salary who devoted
all his time to publicity work.
This year in addition to main
tanning exhibits it had been deter
mined to put man in charge OF
booth at the Spokane Chamber OF
Commerce building, at the gateway
thru which imm igration from the
East enters. The Yakima Climb had
contracted with Mr.. F. L. Reney
for a period Of three months at
$500 per week, and he was now
engaged in the work. F. F. Benson
of Prosser, was the next speaker
and traced the long continued efforts
of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce to get permanent exhibit
and success was now in sight. He
had been interested in the matter
for long time and when the Pros
ser Club decided to take the matter
up they first sought the co-opera-
ton of the Kennewick Club. They
had been met more than half way
and through the joint committee
the Space had been leased and work
of installing the exhibit begun.
The proposition of the North Yak
ina Club was later matter and
| tho Prosser Commercial Club had
sent him down to say that they were
willing to do whatever kennewlck
should decide in the matter Per
haps what Prosser and kennewick
had already done, would not inter
fere with taking up the larger work
in connection with the Yakima
Club. Hon. Lee A. Johnson spoke

= President Richardson then called
on members of the local Club for
their views. Arie Hover WAS de-
cidedly opposed to uniting with
Yakima because it was necessary
for kennewick and Prosser to dis
t'nguish their individuality. We
had adopted as our slogan THE
Columbia River Early Fruit Belt'
and separate booth with our dis
tinctive products and special at
tention to the early products would
do us more good than to unite Will,
Yakima Valley Clubs. Work had
already been done in fitting up the
booth and some products were al
ready there on the ground ready to
be put in place, when the carpenters
were through. A lease for the SPACE
had already been signed up with
Secretary Monroe. G. +. Hansen
followed and advocated the MAIN
tenance Of a separate berth but urg-
ed the advantage of paying part OF
the expense OF keeping Mr.. Roney
in charge and have his services in
explaining our soil, products, and
distributing our literature. Mayor
j.. F.. Johnson thought under the
circumstances, it was practically a
necessity to continue tile Benton
county exhibit as separate display.
he favored securing the services of
MIR. ROney and that our Club
should bear it's proportion of that
expense. James A. Rose favored
CO. operation on the ground that
there was so much in common that
better results would be secured at
less expense by the unity of effort
and the larger display that would
be possible. Rev. II. NJ. Bartlett
favored union with the YakimaC Club.
Yakima was older and had always
been the example to which we had
referred and which in due time we
expected to equal in growth as a
town, in production of fruits and
other things. We would do well to
unite with the Yakima Club. Ed
ward Sheppard OF the Ways and
Means committee favored independ-
ent action and by motion it MAS
voted that the work on the kenne-
wick-Prosser booth be continued
and that the Club contribute to
fund for keeping Mr.. Roney in
charge, the amount of the colItriln,-
ton to be determined by executive
committee of the Club

The Orchard. that Pay.

are few pear orchards which were
planted during the craze which are
still bearing and which yield good re
turns yearly. But for every tree which
is now living and b-aring 5000 per-
ished from one cause or another--most-
~ from neglect-and the word has
gone forth, accompanied by true tales
of heavy losses, that pears can't be
made to grow In South Texas"
What does this prove? Simply the
experience in every other line of In
dustry. The orchards that were prop
erly cared for are still there and are
yielding good returns. Those which
were neglected or improperly cared for
went to ruin, but who is the best wit
ness as to whether pears can be made
to grow in South Texas, one who has
made a practical demonstration or one
who has simply failed through lack OF
intelligent effort and common pru-
dence?-San Antonio Express.

IN Wisconsin is strictly prohibited by
an order issued by the State railroad COM
mission, acting as the State public utili-

important rulings respecting telephone
service are promulgated by the order and
as a result the POO telephone companies

of conference between the State COM

phone companies in Madison several weeks

that special rate of 30 per cent of the
minimum residence rates may be charged
for phones in churches, lodges, hospitals,
schools and religious associations. Stock
holders OF telephone companies must pay
the same rates as non-stockholders. Spe-

Doubtless you have noticed, when
tired, hot perspiring and dusty, how
grateful and refreshing a cool bath Is,
and what an aid 1t proves in toning up
the general health. A considerate
breeder win see that his fowls enjoy
this same comfort-only in their nat
ural way, a generous dust bath.
A commodious box or large heap OF
fine road dust should be kept In easy
reach of the fowls at all times. This
will greatly aid in keeping them free
from lice and vermin of all kinds. and
helps the plumage to retain its natural
bsilliancy.
During the warm season a good sup
ply of this dust should be gathered and
stored In boxes and barrels for use in
the winter. 1t will be appreciated by
the fowls, and will be found to benefit
them in about the same degree as in
the summer time
1t is a good plan to sift the dust rs
1t is gathered, descending all the stones
and humps. The fine dust should then
be placed In some dry place where
dampness will not affect it, until want
e,1 for use.
