Put Taft Out of Business.

Roosevelt can take satisfaction in
the fact that he helped to put his
old friend Taft out OF the presiden-
cy, even though in putting him out
he ruined the party that has caus-
ed the rain to fall and the sun to
shine for 10 these many years; yea,
has even given the American citi-
zen courage and energy to toll.
Now then, if the soil refuses to pro-
duce under Democratic rule who
will be to blame but Roosevelt for
bringing about the defeat of the old
Republican party.-Macon Times

The Harvest Trust Robbers.

In the Harvester Trust Investiea-
ton in Chicago last week VIM. N.
Racy, comptroller of the Interna-
tional figured which show that the
profits of the Mccormick Harvest
ing Machine Company for the five
years preceding the consolidation
OF the manufacturing concerns was
S25,OOO,O0O. This was 1000 per
cent on the capitalization of the
plant. Who paid this enormous
profit? The farmers who bought
the product of this plant. Is it any
wonder that our manufacturers of
farm machinery can ship their
products abroad and sell them to
foreigners for less money than they
sell them to our home farmer? The
day for changing this condition of
affairs is at hand and every farmer
IN the United States owes it to him
self to lend his aid to crush out
this huge monopoly. The political
campaign is ended but the CAM
paign for better distribution OF
the benefits of our industrial enter
priseS has just begun.-Worth

LIND BADLY BEATEN

The Kennewick ball boys further
fattened their already obese batting
averages at Lind's expense last Sun
day, winning by l6 to 6.
The hot weather made the game
rather listless one and both pitch
ers were hit hard. The heavy stick
work for Kennewick was done by
Sweazy, Larkin, Reams and Shinn.
The boys say that the Lind root
ers wanted to back their team to a
fare-thee- well, at odds of 80 to 20,
and if any the Kennewick sports
had been at the game they could
have cleaned up a nice little bunch
of easy coin.
Next Thursdays game with Han
ford and later game with Prosser
will probably wind up the season.

White SLAVERY CHARGE
Brought to kennewick for Preliminary
Hearing and Bound Over to the
Grand Jury

Tong Gong, a Chinese storekeeper
of Pasco, was arrested the first of the
week on a charge of white slavery,

ton officials. He was given a pre-
liminary hearing Wednesday after
noon in this city before Scott Z.

moral purposes.
The Federal authorities were
represented to the case by Oscar

WHAT WILL BRING
: 100000 TO KENNEW|CK
..se will be twenty-five Bushels
Per Acre-B eadins has Commenced
i Ton DAYS Earlier Tnan Usual

Conservative estimates place the
l,o Of the Horse Heaven wheat
erop this year at little better than
100000. This covers but that
portion Of the district that is tribu-
..rv to the Kennewick shipping
points, from the station at Badger
east to the river.
The average yield of the entire
oron on the hills is placed at twenty
Gre bushels to the acre, which
mark was set in 1907 and has not
been equalled until this year. The
basis of the calculations was made
mon the actual number OF sacks
that have already been sold, and
the number will undoubtedly be in
creased later in the season.
The grain is in fine shape, and
but for the winds Of the past week,
the work of harvesting would have
been in full blast by this time. In
a few sections heading has already
commenced, and the combine own
ers are planning to begin work the
first of the week. This year, owing
to the fine stand, the work is a
week or ten days ahead of the aver
age.
The returns from this years crop
will put many of the Horse Heaven
ranchers in the automobile class,
and the total receipts will hurry the
total fruit crop of the valley to keep
pace. As the ranchers are the back
bone and mainstay of any perman-
ent community, their prosperity
will mean much to this entire Sec
ton.

CHERRY TREES NET
GROWERS S. APIECE
Average for Crop Said to be $500 an
Acre-SOme Mammoth Packs
Exhibited

Further proof of the superiority
OF the Kennewick cherry has come
to light in the past week. The
hundred per cent perfect mark has
been removed from the nine by ten
pack and given to the box that has
but eight cherries to the row each
way. These mammoth cherries
were raised on the Theo. Kirchner
place about two miles up the river,
and are fruit from six-year-old trees.
His entire crop averaged pack of
eight by nine, and his trees will net
him about five dollars apiece.
This, it must be remembered, is
the first year that the cherry trees
in the valley have yielded anything
like a full crop, as the trees are
mostly in the six-year-old class.
Cherries, according to authorities,
are not at their best until eight or
nine years old.
On basis of sixty pounds to the
tree, as Was gathered on the Kirch-
ner place, and with the present
prices, the one crop will net about
five hundred dollars to the acre.
Mr.. Kirchner has sold his entire
crop to the H. H. Davis company
for a dollar a box of ten pounds.
Geo. Hartje in the Garden tracts
has sold his entire crop at an aver
age price of three dollars to the
tree. His returns will average with
many others in the valley, whose
receipts will run about three hum
dred dollars to the acre.
These extra fine packs have near
ly all been shipped to the East, and
form convincing advertising for
this section of the best state in the
Union.

LITTLE BOY KILLED
IN RUNAWAY At MESA
Nine Year.Old Son of Chas. Robin.
son, of Finley. Crushed Under
Wheels of Heavy Wagon

A sad accident occurred last Fri
day afternoon at Mesa, resulting in
the death of George Newton, the
nine-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. E. Robinson, of Finley.
Mr.. Robinson had been ranching
in the Palouse country and has late
ly traded his farm there for a forty
acre alfalfa tract one-half mile be-
low Finley. He and Mrs. Robin
son and four children were driving
overland from Palouse to their new
home when the accident occurred.
Mr.. Robinson had removed the
brides from the team, to let them
drink, when they became frightened
and started to run. Mrs. Robinson
and the children were all thrown
out, and the rear wheel of the heavy
wagon passed over the head of the
little boy, crushing out his life al
most instantly. All the occupants
of the rig were more or less bruised,
Mrs. Robinson suffering quite seri-
Gus injuries.
J. O. Short, who is an old friend
of the family, was communicated
with and left for Mesa on No. 4,
Friday evening. The body was
brought to Kennewick that evening
and funeral services were held from
the Mueller Undertaking parlors
Sunday at 2:3O, conducted by Rev.
F. L. Fraser. Several hymns were
sung by the quartet and an instru-
mental number was rendered by
four of Miss Burlingame's violin
pupils. The stricken family have
the deep sympathy of the commun-
ity in their bereavement.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank the friends
who with kind works and deeds
came to our assistance during the
dark hours following the death and
burial of our beloved son and
brother.

CONSTRUCTION IS BEGUN ON COMMUNITY WAREHOUSE

Kennewick has long laid claim to
having the ideal location for big
distributing point for this section
of the Inland Empire. Until now,
however, the claim has not been
productive of any particular build
ing activity, though wholesalers on
the Coast and elsewhere have seen
and acknowledged that in time they
would be compelled, by reason of
our transportation facilities, to put
in stocks for distribution at this
point.
The rapid strides made in the de-
velopment of this section, and the
steady influx of population, have
hurried their plans by some two
years at least.
F. J. Arnold, who has spent the
past few weeks on the Coast, has
this week begun the construction of
Kennewick's first community ware
house-the beginning of business
that will in the course of a few
years be of such proportions that,
should all our other various re-
sources fail, would be sufficient ex-
cuse for thriving city. More of a
city, say, than Pasco is with it's

nesses during the ceremony. Mr..

mainstay of an N. P. payroll, or
Prosser, with the court house as
her only excuse for being other than
village.
Mr.. Arnold began work on the
construction of his warehouse this
week, after he had secured sufficient
information to warrant the expend-
iture. The building will he of ce-
ment, two stories, 5Ox12O, with full
basement. The location is the one
that was purchased from Thayer &
Sly, and is ideally situated for the
purpose, being in a plat that is
bounded on three sides by compet-
ing lines. Two house tracks have
been promised by the railroads, CIV
ing access to the Northern Pac fc
and the O-W. R. & N.
A direct outlet to the docks is
planned and will be built as soon as
the river is open to general traffic
upon the completion of the Cello
canal. The opening of the Pan
anna canal will give wonderful
impetus to the development of this
Northwest country and Kennewick
will be among the first to reap the
harvest that is bound to come.

RAIDERS HELD FOR TRIAL
President Of Defunct Bank Bound
6v1r 10 District Court at Lakota.

LAKOTA, Aug. 1o.-F. A. Raiders
must stand trial in the district court
on the charge Of accepting deposits,
as president Of the defunct Peoples
State bank Of Lakota, after he knew
the institution was insolvent. When
arraigned before the justice in La
kota, following the continuance Of
several days, he waived the exami-
nation and was held for trial, under
bonds, which were furnished.
MI. Raiders was taken in charge
as he left the state %penitentiary in
Bismarck, where he served a two
year sentence growing out Of the
bank manipulations at Lakota.
This new angle in the case has
caused q great deal of interest in
Nelson county, where so many resi-
dents were affected by the failure OF
the bank. It's affairs are still in the
hands Of a receiver.
S. "A. Floren, the cashier, got a SEN
tence of seven and a half years, Rah.
ders getting off with a much lighter
! sentence.
