STEAMER HUM
GOOD AS NEW
Hull of ALI New Material-Will
Develop More Speed.
tCharlevoix Courier.l

The Steamer Hum is now complete
ly rebuilt and ready for busipess.
This bbat which is owned by Mrs.
Florence Jepson Of East Jordan, was
brought TO the Charlevoix ship yards
November II, and since that time
Silas Swails has rebuilt the boat, the
hull being of new material and the
workmanship il that OF the clever
mechanic aud art.
In the construction of the hull,
l6 900 feet Of white oak and rock elm
were used Also 800 pounds OF spikes
and $500 pounds OF round iron were
used TO make this popular boat as
good as new. The water lines are
changed and the boat rests eight
inches higher out OF water than prev
ious. The boat has been repainted
White and the water lines are painted
green.
Among the improvements to be
found are water tight compartments.
which would enable the bow 10 be cut
off and still she would not sink. A
new steering gear has been added.
The smoke stack raised higher,
greatly improves the looks OF the
boat. A new ten-inch dial search
light will be placed upon the boat
The rebuilding OF the Hum has in
creased pef speed about two miles an
hour.
The new captain, William p. Jep-
son. Of Milwaukee, is young man,
who promises TO give the people the
best available accommodations pos
sible throughout the season. Mr..
Jepson has good papers aud is reliable
aud the Hum ought TO earn a reputa-
tion that Will exceed any of its pre-
yious attempts OF progression.
Mr.. Swails should be complimented
on his clever workmanship in the re
construction OF this ship, and that he
has scored another mark of success is
a question that is undeniable. Every
part Of the work was under the direct
supervision Of Mr.. EwaiIs, and shows
itself plainly as a work of art to any
one who will spend a few minutes
studying the boat.

|ASHbAUCH & co.
SELL THEIR STORE
G. B. Stewart of Lewiston is now
at Head Of Large Mercantile
Establishment

The largest deal of its kind ever
consumated in this city occurred this
week when H. M. Ashbaugh & Co.
disposed of their mercantile interests
to C. B. Stewart of Lewiston.
In exchange for the immense
stock of dry goods, clothing and
shoes carried at the "Store of Quail
ity," Mr.. and Mrs. Ashbaugh re-
ceive, in addition to a cash con-
sideration, improved and unim-
proved real estate aggregating 100
acres. This realty consists of 24O
acres of timothy land and $50 acres
Of timber in the Grangeville country,
Idaho, and 2OO-acre wheat ranch
close to Lewiston.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ashbaugh came to
this city in March, 1905. During
the half dozen intervening years
they have by hard work and straight
business methods pushed their store
into the very front rank of such .es-
tablishments in eastern Washington,
twice moving into larger and finer
quarters in their successful career.
Mr.. Ashbaugh states that his
principal reason for selling is to
allow himself and his wife a we'll
earned rest, particularly in the case
OF Mrs. Ashbaugh who will find
home life agreeable after her years
OF trying work in the store. They
do not contemplate leaving Kenne-
wick, but will maintain their resi-
dence and hold their other property
here.
We offer the prediction that Mr..
Stewart will maintain the good
reputation of the store to the last
detail. He has had extensive in
mercantile lines, though of recent
years. has been engaged in the real
estate business. He will bring his
! family here within a short time.
0. S. Ford of Krupp, Wash. and
C. S. Hanna of Grangeville were
here with Mr.. Stewart assisting in
the invoice. Mr.. Ford has returned
home, but Mr.. Hanna will remain
in the capacity of clerk. Mr.. March
and Mrs. Slaugenhaupt will retain
their positions under the new
management.

MUSTN'T SELL woRMY FRUIT

Fruit Inspector F. E.. DeSellem
writes from Prosser that he will
strictly enforce the law concerning
the marketing of wormy fruit and
has notified Asst. Inspector Stor-
land to keep close watch on the
markets here and to condemn all
defective fruit. He says:
If this valley intends to grow
fruit, the growers will have to spray
to control the codling moth. l find
that many Of the growers are not
spraying on account of the light
crop and of course the percentage
of wormy apples will be high. 1t
has been the experience of the Yak
ina growers that it pays to spray
when the crop is light.

RUN UP BIG SCORE
At WALLA WAlLA
Garden City Boys Come Out on Top in
Batting Spree Last Sunday
Too Hot for Good Ball

The .Kennewick baseball outfit
journeyed to Walla Walla last Sun
day, accompanied by few scatter
ing rooters, and got 'skun" by the
generous score of 13 to s.
The local lineup was perhaps the
strongest which has represented
Kennewick on the diamond this
year, but neither Cryderman nor
Larkin were in good shape to up
hold the pitching end.
Larkin started on the slab for
Kennewick and pitched three good
innings but was touched for five
runs in the fourth session, on two
singles, two doubles and a pair OF
passes. Cryderman replaced him
in the fifth and was also batted
freely besides giving a couple OF
bases on balls.
The game was played at Tuna
lum Park in connection with the
Mannaechor Society picnic. The
boys all say that the crowd was
the most fair-minded they ever
played before, applauding the good
work of either team impartially
After the game. those players who
remained at the park were the
guests of the picnicers until train
time and all have good word to
say for their German entertainers
The features of the game were
Barrett's pickup of a hot groundel
and Larkin s throw from centerfeld
shutting off a run at the plate.

cOvEY- CARPENTER

Two more OF the valleys young
people have forsaken the paths of
single blessedness and will found a
new home elsewhere. They are j.
Ernest Covey and Miss Pearl Car
penter and both are well known to
the city and locality.
The wedding was quiet affair at
the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Carpenter,
three miles up the valley. Rev.
Victor E. Marriott of the Cnogrega-
tional church pronounced the words
which made them man and wife
and Miss Helen Carpenter and Earl
Carpenter, brother and sister of the
bride, attended the couple. Miss
Leah Rich and Mr.. Gilcrest were
the only guests present besides the
members of the Carpenter family.
An early luncheon was served
after the affectionate congratulations
were extended to Mr.. and Mrs.
Covey and this was concluded in
time for the bride and groom to
catch the 12:45 train on the S. P.
& S. for White Salmon, which will
be their place of residence for a
time and is also the home of Mr..
Covey's parents.
The bride has resided in the val
ley for number of years and was a
student in high school during a
part of this time. She has been an
active worker in the Congregational
church and there are many who
regret that her marriage will take
her from the community.
Mr.. Covey has been H. E.
Beach s right hand man ever since hi
came to Kennewick from Colorado
little over year ago and is vel
thought of by all who know him

Expect Grape Crop
to be Largest Ever

\ UGUST first will be the
"A opening of the biggest grape
season the Keppewick Valley has
ever known and before the COM
ing of the December frosts, it is
estimated that 25OOO crates of
the luscious fruit will have been
shipped from Kennewick, Fin
ley, Hover and Hedges to mar
kets in nearly every state in the
Union. It is automatically stated
that the Kennewick Valley and
Lewiston District are the only
sections north of California which
are peculiarly adapted to the
growing of all European and
American varieties, and in the
enormous yield of 1911, all of
these will be substantially repre-
sented.
The cluster of Tokay grapes
shown in the accompanying cut.
was taken from a two-year old
vine and weighed four pounds
and ten ounces. The grapes are
as large as ordinary plums and
are delicious in flavor. This
specimen need not he considered
as exceptional, for all Kenne-
wick grapes which have the
benefit of scientific care are re-
markable for their size, quality,
and early maturity.
The Fruit Growers Association
is unable to give any forecast
as to the opening prices but the
outlook is favorable for good
markets for some weeks after the
initial shipments. The scarcity
of the larger fruits, which were
thinned out by the unusual spring
frosts, and the high prices at
which they are held, will make
the dema nd for grapes better
than last year.

MAY CHANGE NAME
Probable That Pan Hellenic Will Be-
come University Club

Fargo, N. D., Nov. AT the meet
ing and dinner of the Fargo-Moor
| head Pan-Hellenic association last
night, held at the Commercial club, a
movement was launched to convert the
society into a university club in this
city, which should be affiliated with
the active business mems association
and which will have headquarters in
the Commercial club.
The idea was not to revive the old
university club which existed some
time ago in this city, but to form an
entirely new society with the men,
bers of the Pan-Hellenic association as
the charter members of the new or
ganization.
New officers were elected for the
ensuing year as follows:
President-Dean Dewitt Bowling.
Vice President-Prof. A. r. Minard.
Secretary-treasurer- O. McLel-
land.
There were about sixty Greek let
ter men present at the meeting. all of
whom seemed to enjoy the semi-an-
nual revival of fraternity interests.
There was quite strong sentiment
expressed at the meeting to continue
the Pan-Hellenic association, feeling
that much more pleasurable times
could be had just as the association
now stands. Also there seemed quite
a divergence Of opinion. in regard to
the nature of the proceedings of the
proposed university club. A number Of
speakers were heard during the ev-
ening in the general discussion which
followed the proposal to change the
nature of the organization.
