MORE BERRIES AT RIcnLANO

John Storland attended a meet
ing of the Richland strawberry grow
ers last week. The problem of the
Richland people is to secure pickers
if the present bright prospects for
a bumper crop materialize. They
need more pickers in proportion to
the acreage than Kennewick grow
ers do as they have to have the ber-
ries in readiness to 60 on the after
noon boat and the force of pickers
must be doubled in the morning to
take care Of the ripening crop. In
July and August of last year, many
Richland farmers put in strawber-
ries and the acreage would be ma
terially increased if it were not for
the disadvantage of hampered trans
portation facilities.

SMALL BLAZE

A small fire broke out in the
smoke house of the Kennewick
Packing Company's establishment,
Tuesday evening shortly before eight
O'Clock. The fire department re-
sponded promptly to the summons
and had no difficulty in getting the
blaze under control, as the smoke
house is built of brick and there was
little for the fire to feed upon after
the woodwork on the inside had
been gutted. The loss was approx
imately $3.50, partially covered by
insurance. Seven or eight hundred
pounds of bacon were destroyed
and Billy" is trying to work up
a fire sale on hams and lard.

ESTABLISH SCHOOL
FOR FRUIT PACKERS
More Stringent Grading Rules Make
Experts Necessary in the
Packing Sheds

The secretary of the Farmers In
stute, L. S. Grassland, has been in
correspondence with Mr.. Ashley of
the agricultural department of the
Washington State College in regard
to establishing a packing school here
this summer. Mr.. Ashley writes
that to maintain one-week s course
the expense will amount to from
fifty to eighty dollars and sufficient
number of pupils must be guaran-
teed in order that their tuition may
aggregate this sum.
One of the crying needs of the
future will be to secure experienced
packers. A standard of packing
excellence is to be established and
must be lived up to by the fruit
growers, hence it is evident that
raw hands cannot be employed in
the packing sheds without working
serious detriment to their employer.
Farmers should wake up to the
necessity of making the most of
this opportunity by preparing for
the emergency calls of the coming
seasons and to see to it that the
matter is talked up throughout the
valley and large number of pack
ers enrolled. An experienced pack
er should command better wages
than others and if some make spe-
cial effort to fit themselves for this
work, there should be a scale OF
wages devised, based on the quality
of the work performed.

SCHOOL NOTES

MIR. Shumate, representing CHM &
Company, was here visiting the High
school the last few days.
Miss Ely resumed her work the first
of the week.
Richland High school has sent word
that they will not take up the debate
which was abandoned by Finley, owing
to the lateness of the season and the
lack of interest shown. No word has
been received from Pasco concerning
their attitude.
A rule has been made denying the
use of the gymnasium to pupils who are
down in their work When their stand
ing has been brought up to standard,
they will be admitted to the gym again.

OL|NGER TO Be FRUIT
GROWERS new MANAGER
Take Charge of Grading, Packing and
Inspection for this District,
April 1st

The Kennewick district of the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers As
sociation has secured the services of
J. B. Olinger as manager for the
coming year. Mr.. Olinger will
come to Kennewick the first of April
and have active charge of the grad
ing, packing and inspection of the
fruits shipped through the associa-
ton from this district.
Mr.. Olinger is an expert in the
line, coming from the Wenatchee
district where he has had charge of
this work for the past year or so.
Before that time he had charge of
Paulhamus fruits in the Puyallup
valley, and is well acquainted with
the demands of the industry.
Mr.. Sly states that since his trip
up the river recently, both Hanford
and White Bluffs have been admit
ted into the association, making
five new districts added since the
close of last year.
More attention will be paid this
year than ever before to the grading
and packing of the fruits. in an en-
endeavor to secure a high standard
for the Kennewick products. Such
condition will 60 far toward guar
anteeing reliable markets for our
fruit in seasons to come.

Mr.. Robbins advocates the Clark
Seeding as the only satisfactory
berry of this valley for commercial
purposes. It is we'll favored, of
good size and good shipper.
The necessity for an honest pack
was emphatically expressed by sew
eral and Mrs. E. M. Sly believes
that the most direct method of deal
ing with the trouble is to insist that
every grower place his name aud
address on the outside of every box
and crate and in this way a check
may be obtained on the growers
and faulty packing and inferior
berries may be traced back to their
producer.

TULLES BOYS SELL STORE

The Tulles Drug Co. became the
vibber-Gifford Drug Co. this week
when H. R. Vibber and K. C. Gif-
ford purchased the local store which
has been conducted for the past
four years by R. P, A. J. and Perry
Tulles.
The establishment which changed
hands through this deal is one of
the most attractive and up-to-the-
minute drug stores to be found any,
where in city of this size. The
Tulles boys have been very popular
with the local trade and will turn
over profitable business to their
successors. They still retain their
store at Newport and other interests
in this city. Russ" and Art"
have made no very definite plans,
but Perry will probably try his
nand at ranchlng in the near fu-
ture.
Mr.. Vibber, who as local manager
for the Columbia Steamboat Co.
has been favorably known in local
business circles for several years, is
a registered pharmacist and has had
many years of experience in the
work. Mr.. Clifford has also had
considerable experience behind the
counter before coming to Kennewick
where he has had charge of the COL
lection department. at the First Ma
tional Bank for the past three years.
The new firm will make a good
team" and may be depended up
on to keep up the popularity of the
west end store.

BOX FACTORY MEN HERE

Jr., representing Coats & Marks,

tails preliminary to opening the To-
cal branch factory. While at this
writing the location of the plant
had not been definitely decided, it
is possible that the Moore ware
house will be secured. The ma
chinery has arrived and Mr.. Marks

boxes by April 9Th.

THOUSAND
FOR SIDEWALKS
Practically Entire City to Have
Advantages of Good Walks
Holiday, April llth

Ordinances were passed this week
creating two more improvement dis
tricts, providing for concrete walks.
A third ordinance was given its first
reading. The two ordinances passed.
which will be found on another
page in this issue, call for GEM
ent walks all through the First Ad-
dition and Amon's Addition to
Kennewick. The call for bids was
also made. In these two districts
over three miles of cement walk are
asked for. There is now laid near
ly two miles and the contractors are
now busy putting in another mile
and a half. In the third ordinance
it was planned to put walks in
Menhinick's, Morain's and Weisel's
additions. This work is being held
up slightly, owing to the lack of as
surance as to whether a right-of-
way can be secured on Sercombe
street. The attorney was instruct
ed get busy and get all the right-of-
way possible on the highway to the
S. P. & S. station, that the work
may not be held up.
While by far the greater portion
of the new walk is only six feet
wide, Kennewick will have, when
the new contracts are completed,
some forty thousand dollars worth
of concrete walks It will be an
improvement that even the much
lauded city of Pasco cannot dupli-
cate.
The interest that the ladies' clubs
have displayed in working for
city beautiful, has resulted in the
council declaring holiday on Ar
Dor Day, April 18th. The hours
from 10 in the morning till 4 in
the afternoon will be devoted to the
planting of trees. Councilman An
mis- wanted to put in clause to
pinch" every man found idle be-
tween the above mentioned hours.
It is the intention to ask all busi-
ness houses to close during the
strenuous period.
The first contract on the sewer
on the county road is about COM
pleted, and the official tour of in
spection will be taken the first of
the coming week. Engineer Smith
reports that the work is in good
shape and ready to be connected
all that is lacking is something to
with.
DR.. Elms appeared before the
council in regard to the proposed
market day plan. He asks that
the council pass an ordinance reg
ulating the shipping of second
hand furniture into this from other
cities, without strict fumigation.
In the interests of the health of the
community the council favored
the action and will take steps to
pass a strict ordinance.
