and conferring with the officials o1
the company. He pronounces the
plant perfect and says that the resi-
dents of the town and valley have
little idea what an epoch in the
history of this country is marked
by its erection. He points out
that it will be the best key to the
situation of the farmer who pur-
chases raw land or alfalfa tracts and
must wait for three years until an
orchard comes into bearing, before
realizing any profits off his invest
ment in Kennewick fruit lands.
Dairying is the salvation of the
country said Mr. Hanson en-
phatically, when discussing the pro-
spects of the new industry, "and it
is not an experiment, as its profits
are realized all over the eastern part
Of the state.'' Mr.. Hanson is in
terested in the cow testing associa-
tions which have been organized in
various dairying sections Of the
state, two at Mt. Vernon, one at
Arlington, and one in prospect at
Stanwood and also at Chehalis.
The purpose of these is to secure
accurate information as to the rel
ative value of different breeds OF
cows to the farmer. The govern
ment is assisting in this work by
furnishing record bookings. Each
cows milk is weighed and meas
ured, also the amount of butter
produced and the farmer learns
what's what in cows. Mr.. Hanson
advocated the adoption Of such a
system for this territory.
While here Mr.. Hanson made ar
rangements for holding a dairy
meeting here about the middle OF
November. L. Davies, State Dairy
Commissioner, State Senator Paul.
Eamus, T. J. Langdon and other
well-known dairy authorities will
be on the rostrum and the meeting
will consist of morning, afternoon,
and evening sessions. 1t will be
held for the purpose of instructinf
the farmers in the latest methods
of successful dairying and will be q
big boon to the creamery and it,
patrons.

DEPOT-WARM|NG

After several false starts and post

July ninth but have succeeded in
keeping their friends and relatives
in entire ignorance of the pleasant
event for over three months. Both
of the young people are we'll known
in this city as the bride was forme r.
ly Miss Lulu F. Halloway, the eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. P.
Holloway, residing up the river,
and through her the younger set
have become acquainted with Mr..
Newton, who is associated with the
Interstate Rubber Company, of Spo-
kane.
Dozens of friends and even the
members of Mrs. Newton's family
have been busily engaged in prepa-
rations for the wedding which was
supposed to be scheduled for We'd
nesday of this week, which date also
was the 43rd anniversary of the
brides parents. In face of this,
the announcements which were
sent out Wednesday to the effect
that the marriage was performed
at the home of Mayor Hindley of
Spokane, Sunday, July 9th, was
distinctly a surprise to all recipients.
After participating in the cele-
bration of Mr.. and Mrs. Holloway's S
anniversary, attended by a few
friends and relatives, Mr.. and Mrs.
Newton left on the afternoon train
for Spokane, where the groom has
a beautiful home prepared.
Mrs. Newton was a member OF
of the High School class of 1910
and a prominent member of the n
|. L. E. Club. Her many charm.
ing qualities and accomplishment
have made her a general favorite
among a large number of friends
who have recovered sufficiently from
the joke played upon them, to ex
tend congratulations to the happy
pair.

CALL BIDS FOR SIDE
WALK DISTRICT NO. |.
Council Aims to Complete Part Of
Work Before Cold Weather---Irri-
CATION system. Too

A call for bids on the laying of
the cement sidewalk, and the form
ing of an irrigation district of
Beach's first and second additions,
and Menhinick's addition, were the
main things accomplished at the
session of the city fathers Tuesday
night.
Feeling certain of the open weather
for at least six weeks yet, in which
it will be feasible to lay the cement,
the call for bids was made on this
one district. In this district there
are some $4,000 square feet of
walk called for and the cost will be
in the neighborhood of $40, 900.
The boundaries of the district
are, roughly, all that territory lying
east of Yakima street, between
Front and Fourth.
The plans for underground irri-
CATION pipes for the same section OF
the city were gone over and the
committee ordered to 60 ahead with
the installation. Galvanized iron
pipe laid underground, tapped at
each lot is what the plans outline.
This system is used quite extensive
| " in Wenatchee and in California,
but Kennewick is the first city to
install the system for parking and
lawns.
Cash will be offered to owners of
teams or autos who yank the ap-
paratus to future fires. Just what
the prize will be was left to the fire
committee.
City Attorney Holcomb was ap-
pointed as chief diplomat in the Sc
curing of the waivers for the right
of way for the road'to the S. P. Il
S. depot, and for the widening of
the upper portion of Washington
street.
A special meeting of the council
will be held on the 9th for the
purpose of hearing objections to the
regarding of Kennewick avenue.

Kennewick's new creamery, Oper-
ated by the Columbia Valley Cream
cry Co., is now in operation, the
first churning of the company's
highest grade butter, the Lucerne
brand, being turned out successful
ly yesterday and it is estimated that
$50 pounds will be on the market
Saturday. The building stands
complete with all equipment in
perfect running order and in two
weeks time the supply from the
valleys newly created dairy farms
will be regulated and every feature
Of the system working smoothly.
All of the nearby towns are to be
supplied with home produced dairy
products and their quality will be
such that top notch prices for fancy
butter, cream and milk will be de-
manded and received. Two grades
of butter will be made and all the
cream and milk carefully graded
and paid for according to quality.
The building has been erected
north Of the Twin City Ice & Cold
Storage Company's plant and the
interior is divided into four rooms,
the main plant and its machinery
occupying most of the space. In
addition to this, there is an Office,
store room and refrigerator. Sim
plex machinery, manufactured by
the Shelton Machinery Co. of Sc
attic, has been used throughout and
the big churn which is capable OF
turning out 24OO pounds Of butter
day, or 600 pounds to churning
the cream ripener, Jenson cooler,
cream separators, bottling machine,
pasteurizer and mold are all in
their places and ready for the open
ing rush.
One Of the best features Of the
creamery, is the refrigerator, the
erection of which was personally
supervised by the president of the
company, M. H. Church. He says
that no expense was spared in max
ing this part of the plant absolutely
without defect and it is complete
and up to the latest scientific re.
frigerating principles. 1t is room

Opening Of Creamery Means
More Prosperity for Valley

1Ox1S feet and its walls are twelve
inches through. A thermometer
hung inside may be run down to
zero on the hottest day in summer.
The brine tank and circulating
coils are placed in loft above and
these are connected with the
refrigerating department of the
Twin City Ice & Cold Storage COM
pany's plant.
The creamery and its equipment
has cost in the neighborhood of
So, 900 and the company is capital
lied for s. 800. The remainder of
this sum will be used in getting the
business on paying basis in hand
ling the supply from the farmers.
Fay F. Dean, manager, and Mr..
Blaisdell, butter maker, may be
found at the plant at almost any
hour of the day, experimenting the
work going on. w. n. Watson
has been employed in the office as
bookkeeper.
Fay F. Dean and Geo. Finley re-
turned from the East couple of
weeks ago, having purchased sever
al carloads of Holstein cows, many
Of them thoroughbred stock and all
guaranteed to be winners as cream
producers. Carley, point sixty
miles down the river, has two men,
NJ. E. Carley and A. Postern, who
will be pioneers of the new industry
in that section. A number of men
in the vicinity of Washtucna are
interested and have placed orders
for carload of cows. Richland is
enthusiastic over the possibilities of
dairying and the farmers there were
among the first to fall in line when
the agitation for making Kennewick
creamery center, was first started.
Two hundred cows have already
been placed by the creamery COM
pany and they have forty more on
hand for immediate sale. Two car
/ loads of Jerseys will be shipped here
from Oregon within the next two
weeks, and in few months Mr..
Dean hopes to have from four to
five hundred cows supplying the
creamery with milk.
The terms which the company
offer the farmer who purchases the
cows are these: The purchaser
agrees to give the cows proper care
and bring their milk to the cream
cry. The creamery pays them for
half of the cream brought in and
applies the remainder on the pay
ments for the cows. During the
season when the cows are dry, NO
payments are required. In every
case the farmer is advised to buy
the best stock, as they will produce
more profit than the scrub" COW
The directors, M. H. Church
Fay F. Dean, VIM. Blaisdell, l.. S
Grassland, B. F. Knapp, and E
Knautz are all enthusiastic over th,
new plant and the prospects for fal
