MEETING OF LIBRARY BOARD

"A meeting. of. the old and new
boards of the Kennewick Library
Association was held Saturday after
noon at the library for the purpose
of placing all the business of the
organization in the hands of the new
trustees and electing officers. As
Mrs. Schenk, president of the out
going board, was unable to be pres
ent, on account of illness, Rev.
Marriott presided as chairman.
The following officers were elect
ed, by the board, as their executive
body: Rev. Marriott, president;
Mrs. G. W. Shanafelt, vice. presi-
dent; Mrs. C. O. Anderson, secre-
tary; Mrs. J. l.. Johnson, treasurer.
Among other business matters dis
charged it was decided to leave all
bills contracted during the former
administration in the hands of last
years trustees, for settlement, and
a motion was made advocating that
notifications be sent to the members
Of the Association as their yearly
dues become collectable.
Supt. M. S. Lewis addressed the
board, presenting an offer of DIR.
Hewetson to give an illustrated
stereopticon lecture on some of his
foreign travels, which would treat
largely of Africa, and one half of
the proceeds of which would be
turned over to the school and the
other half to the library.
The members of the board thought
it highly expedient that the gene
rous offer be accepted and that ar
rangements Ne made for the lecture
to be given as soon as possible

Be PREPARED
FOR JACK FROST
Manager Of Fruit and Produce Co.
Sounds Timely Warning
to Growers

These warm days lately inspire
thoughts Of spring and blossoms
and >Smndgs Pots. Only few weeks
more and we will be watching our
thermometers closely every night.
| am wondering how many of us
will be ready to go after Mr., Jack
Frost in proper manner when he
sneaks into our orchard some night,
and you may be sure he will come.
Possibly only once. Probably sew
eral times. If we are ready we will
have a crop Of fruit. IF we are not
ready our years work *cultivating,
irrigating, pruning, spraying, etc,
will be lost.
The fear of frost is not peculiar
to kennewick. Every fruit section
has it to contend with. California,
Florida, Oregon, Colorado and all
Others. Some growers here still
question the value of orchard heat
ing. My best answer to them is that
the fruit growers who have had the
most experience are the most en-
thusiastic for orchard heating. Mil
lions of heaters will be used this
spring by those who have had from
one to three or more years exper-
ience. The large and successful
growers are the ones who are sure to
be fully prepared when frost comes.
They consider it very cheap and
necessary insurance.
The 1910 Colorado fruit crop was
short John T. Moore, manager of
the Grand Junction Fruit Growers
Association, in making his annual
report, prepared a comparative
statement of the shipments for 1909
and 1910. Following this statement
he said, The above figures are
eloquent of one fact in particular
and that is, that frost prevention is
something where eternal vigilance
is the price of profit. Frost comes
like thief in the night, and, tho
the orchardist may watch and
smudge 9 nights, yet, if he fails to
be prepared the 10th night when
frost comes, all his effort, not only
OF the 9 nights but of the entire sea-
son OF preparation and care will go
for naught. Continuous vigilance
and preparedness until the very last
possibility of frost is the only sure
safeguard for fruit crop. Any.
thing less than this is flirting with
safe and tempting the terror of the
white foe.''
We will have plenty of oil for all.
Not necessary to order in advance.
But those who will require new
heaters should order same at once.

vERTREES BUYS VARIETY STORE

J. E. Vertrees of Strout, ILL.,. has
purchased the stock and business of
the Variety Store from r. Dorothy.
Mr.. Vertrees, who is a brother of
Carl Vertrees, former principal of
the Kennewick schools, arrived here
from Illinois the first of last week,
coming for the purpose of looking
after the improvement OF tracts
owned by him and his sister in Sec.
IA, and to superintend the erection
of house on his brothers. tract. 1t
did not take him long to decide that
Kennewick was good place to
stick and the above deal was a
result of his decision, less than a
week after his arrival.
Mr.. Vertrees has had long ex-
perience in the variety and other
merchandising lines. He has been
invoicing and rearranging the stock
during the past few days and will
add extensively to the lines carried.
As soon as his new goods arrive he
plans to have a formal opening, de-
tails of which will be announced
later.

WILL
HAVE ORGANIZATION
Meeting is Called for Saturday, Feb.
llth. at Commercial Club
Rooms

To organize permanent associa-
ton, make plans for an annual ex-
hibition and perfect marketing Or
ganization is the purpose of the
meeting Of the poultrymen of the
valley which has been called for
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 11th, at
the Commercial Club rooms.
The interest which was taken in
the poultry show held last month
indicates that the meeting will bring
out an enthusiastic attendance of
breeders Those who h-ve tried out
the poultry branch of the farming
industry have come to realization
of the fact that we have here in the
Columbia Valley one of the best
sections in the world for successful
chicken farming, and it is high time
that an organization was formed
which will put Kennewick' s poultry
products before the consumerin the
manner the quality deserves.
This meeting, be it understood, is
not alone for the breeders of fancy
or show stock, but for every rancher
who has flock Of hens producing
eggs for the market.
Let everyone interested be there.
An association such as is planned to
form cannot help but be of great
benefit to the industry in this valley.
The meeting will be called to order
promptly at two O'Clock.

BOXING GLOVES FOR CLUB

Chief among the business trans
acted by the governing board of the
Commercial club at their meeting
last night was the authorizing of
the entertainment committee to
spend one hundred dollars to put
in shower baths, basket ball out
fit, boxing gloves, etc. The one pro-
vision made however, is that the
committee procure at least ten new
members. To make this a trife
easier, the board has decided that
membership cards are not trans
ferable, and son is not eligible
to attend using his fathers card.
No one, not a member of the club,
will be allowed the use of the baths
or other club paraphernalia.

Northern Pacific offices at Pasco,

Monday afternoon, the object of
their visit being to learn the wishes
of local people in regard to sites for

The companv's offer, as outlined
by MIR. DeForce to the business
men who were present, is a long

of right-of-way extending west from
the depot on the south side of their

on The Best Shade Trees for Differ
ent Parts of Texas Prof. Ness spoke
out OF his own experience, analyzing
past failures on the college campus
with Northern shade trees. These fail
ures and corresponding successes with
native trees have made it clear that
cypress and live oak are most suitable
for this district.
Texas, with its white glare of sun
light and dry climate, requires for
shade a dense, dark green foliage

of drouth or early northers. Cypress
and live oak meet this requirement in
Central Texas. In Eastern Texas
sweetgum, blackgum, black walnut,
white ash and sycamore have been
successful. The most beautiful tree
of all, the tulip poplar, rising like a
dome-shaped thunder cloud above the
surrounding forest" may be employed
wherever the soil is loose and the
moisture we'll distributed over the sea-
sons.
/ Prof. Ness cited trees on the campus,
giving their history, to prove that oalIs
do not, as generally believed, grow
too slowly for shade purposes.
In conclusion, he asserted that the
most arid land in Texas need not be
without shade or windbreak, since our
commonest fruit trees-apples, pears
and peaches-wherever tried have sur

Mr.. j. S. Doane, for the past four
years proprietor of the King hotel at

resolution naming S. NJ Mayfield, of
Waco; j. e. Surratt, of Mart, and l..
Tillotson, of Sealy, committee to
call general meeting of representa-

take action looking toward a perma-
nent state association of fairs. At the
conference today Secretary Larkin, of
the Farmers Congress, presided and
j. NJ. Brooks, of Clifton, acted as sec
rotary.
The fourteenth session of the Farm
ers' Congress is demonstrating the
close relation between A. & M. college
and the various farmers societies. At
each of the eight sectional meetings
held yesterday afternoon the college
was ably represented by one or more
of its instructing force.
The first of the affiliated societies
to get down to work was that of the
Rural Letter Carriers of Texas. This
body meeting in its ninth annual con,
vention, was welcomed by Prof. H. l..
Mcknight, of the college, and listened
to a business-like exposition of good
road building by Prof r. j. PottS, OF
