T. (. Heineman Sends Open Letter to
Good Government Organization
with Call to Citizens in
General

The dollar Campaign" with which
the Good Government organization
hopes to wipe out its campaign debts,
is doing great work, according to Luz
clan j. Clarke, secretary. OF the $4,000
deficiency already $500 has been can
celed, and subscriptions are coming
in rapidly. However, not all the sub
scripitions are limited to a single dol
lar Nearly every letter contains from
So up. The following letter has been
sent to Secretary Clarke for consid-
GRAFTON by the organization by I. w.
Heineman:
"The eye of good citizens every
where is on Los Angeles BY the sue
cess of the Good Government candi-
dates at the last election, by tina de-
feat of the corrupt S. p. machine,
in spite of all it's vile trickery, fran
tic efforts and lavish exepditure, Los
Angeles has become the STANDARD
BEARER FOR CIVIC PURITY.
"rhe world recognizes this The
newspapers everywhere comment on it,.
But already we are facing a crisis.

porations, special privilege and mon

cenary uses, IS IN THIS: 1T TAKES
MONEY TO RUN AN ELECTION
"Those who have the stomach to
enrich themselves by corruptly ac-
quired special privileges, monopolies,
perversion of governmental function
and corruption of functionaries, will
ingly and literally have furnished the
money, repaying themselves after
wards thousands and millionfold, out
of corruptly legalized exactions from
the people.
1.-The campaign is over. The victory
Is ours. But balance of $4,000 ex-
penses incurred remains unpaid. That s
the rock on which civic purity, popu-
lar liberty, honest government by and
for the whole people may founder.
THAT'S THE CRISIS!
"And the S. p. machine knows 1t
and already is rubbing its hands in
glee, at the prospect of returning to
power, at the next municipal election.
And if we, the people, have been beat
en- with whips heretofore, they will
beat us with scorpions hereafter. For,
when the workers whose devotion to
Good Government has given us the
victory this time, will be disgusted at
the apathy and ingratitude of the peo-
pie and therefore unwilling to make the
municipal election, then will be the
grand opportunity of the S. p. machine
and 1t neither sleeps nor slumbers.
Here is your open purse it will
cry out, to all those waiting to feed
TO the public crib. No deficit in cam
paign expenses where l pay the bills
And thousands will flock to its STAN
dard But the forces of Good Govern
ment decimated by disgust and apathy
will be defeated.
"Citizens of Los Angeles, will you
sell your birthright for a mess of pot
tage? NO! you answer?
"WELL, THEN, PAY THE BILL.
but how? A good citizen has sug-
gested that each of 5000 who voted for
Good Government shall contribute one
dollar. That's a good idea, but 1t
must be made more practical
LET 5000 artistic certificates be lith-
ographed, suitable for framing. Let
them read: This is to certify that
(here insert the name Of the contrt-
butter of 81 or more) in the struggle
of the City of Los Angeles for civic
purity and against corruption, has
borne his full share working, voting
and paying the bills Let the certi-
ficates be signed by the leading MEM
bers of the Good Government league.
Six hundred such certificates would
raise $4,000, enough to pay the expenses
of distribution, collection, printing and
the deficit
"The time is coming, and soon, when
children will point to-the name in that
certificate and say with pride, That
was my father
"Mr. Editor, I am not citizen of
Los Angeles, but 1 love good govern
ment Here is my dollar. l want my
certificate, and in fact 1 am willing
to pay for several"

DAILY BOAT SERVICE MAY 1ST

The Summer schrdu'r Of the Col
umbia Steamboat company will 20
into effect May st. While the
river traffic has not yet developed
sufficiently to warrant the expense
of operating two steamers, the COM
pany has decided to put the steam
er "Todd" in service along with the
"Gem,' thus giving daily service,
in the hope that with the opening
of the Summer season the increased
transportation facilities will bring
increased traffic and enable the
company to maintain a service
which will aid in the development
Of the district.
Under the new schedule freight
shipments will be SO arranged that
the Gem" will make practically
ho stops bstween Pasco and Han.
ford excepting for passengers, mails
and perishable fraigh,, reaching
Hanford about 1880 p. M, White
Bluffs, about 2:30 p. M, and Wah
luke about 4:3O p. m, running
beyond Wahluke to Priest Rapids
every alternate Saturday, (return-
ing Sunday or as much oftener as
traffic beyond Wahluke will Justify.
The "Gem' will run up-riyer on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
returning down-river Wednesdays,
Fridays and Sundays.
The ''Todd' will run up-rivcr on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
returning down-rivcr Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays.
1t is hoped that with active irri
CATION in the up-river valley this
season the taaffic may prove suf-
6cient to support a daily steamer
service.
A schedule of down river freight
rates will shortly be announced ssand
will go into effect in plenty of time
to apply on the movement OF this
seasons crops from the up-river
country. These rates will be such
that the ranchers, farmers and
others will be enabled to market
their produce at the lowest possible
cost.

MARKETS LOOK GOOD TO SLY

r. Nj. Sly, Manager Of the Fruit
Growers Association returned from
a short trip to the Coast Wednesday.
He purchased a car load of straw
berry crates and other supplies for
the Association. Very favorable ar
rangements for marketing asparagus
Strawberries, etc, at several Of the
larger cities have been made and it
is his opinion that the prospect is
excellent, especially in Seattle for
strong demand for our berries at
very good prices.
Mr.. Sly is advocating a much
larger average in the kcnnewick
Valley, of asparagus and straw
berries. He says our market is al
most unlimited if we pack every
thing first class and that we can al
ways be sure Of top prices. At pre-
sent the best kennewick is selling
strong III Seattle at four times the
price for California and from 40 to
6O% higher than other Washington
grass. If our shipments were 90
times larger than they are there
would not be enough to supply the
demand or to break the price.
Asparagus comes early and is a
sure producer regsrdless of weather

PLAN

The plan Of having the State Aid
road money expended on the Rich
ardson road leading to the boat
landing was presented by a COM
mittee composed of Messrs. Richard
son and Lundy and a resolution
was passed favorable to this by the
Board Of County Commissioners bat
the matter had to be submitted to
the Highboard of the State Of which
Commissioner Snow is chairman
and after meeting of this Board
April ID, the following letter was
sent to Auditor W. s. Jenkins:
Office Of Highway Commissioner,
Olympia, April 2, loO9.-Honor-
able Board of County Commissioners
of Benton County, Washington,
Prosser, Washington. Gentlemen:
AT a meeting of the Highway Board
held this day, the resolution cover
ing the Improvement OF a section Of
road beginning at the northeast
corner Of Moore's addition to the
town Of kennewick and running
thence castcrly along the county
road to the Richardson road and
thence northcrly along the Richard
son road to the Columbia river, was
considered and disapproved, for the
reasons: First, that in the judge
ment of the highway board this sec
ton Of road is not worthy of inn
provement under the State Aid road
law, and second, that a section of
road leading from the City of Prosser
towards the city of North Yakima
has been graded under the provi-
sions Of the State Aid road law,
with the understanding that it
should be graveled with the funds
now available.
As you will fully realize, the earth
road lately graded at Prosser will
deteriorate very rapidly during the
summer unless it be graveled; there
fore, ! would respectfully recon-
mend that you pass resolution
covering this particular improve
ment. Very respectfully,
Joseph NJ. Snow,
Highway Commissioner.
Possibly if a road more generally
travelled by the public and tax pay
ers had been selected such as the
road leading to Section or to Fin
ley, better success would have been
had, and the result been more sat-
isfactory A better selection and
another effort must be made next
! year.

EIGHT men ARE
SAVED FROM RIVER
The Accident One of the Most Fearful
of River Catastrophes Which Has
Happened In Many Years.-Most
-
Powerful Towboat South of Carlo.

NEW ORLEANS, April 26.-one of
the most disastrous accidents in many
years on the river was of yesterday
morning, when the tug boat Eagle,
owned by the Louisiana Petroleum
Company turned over and sank in
seventy-five feet of water, causing the
loss of eight lives.
1t was one of the most horrible
river disasters in recent years. The
Eagle was said to be the most pow
erful towboat on the Mississippi Riv-
er south of Carlo. She was believed
by experienced river men one of the
last vessels on the river to have been
a victim to the force of the great
stream in this way. :
The accident came so quickly that
even the survivors cannot tell just
how it happened. There was not a
moments warning for those who were
to be hurled into eternity.
Captain George George, one of the
oldest masters on the lower river, and
Pilot Daniel O'Driscoll were standing
side by side in the pilot-house at the
time talking about hiring a squad of
negroes to move some coal when they
reached the city. Their arms were
touching. In what Pilot O'Driscoll
reckons as less than half a minute he
felt his head humping up against
something and in auotffer instant he
was grasping at the boats sign,
which bore the words, Louisiana Pc
troleum Company" and floating down
the river. He was saved. Captain
George was lost. He never saw him,
never heard him. The last words
spoken were about moving the coal
up at the wharf. The belief is that
Captain George was caught in the
pilot-house, and that his body will be
found there.
