EXPERT HERE TO LOOK
AFTER PEACH PACK
X. A. Thatcher of North Yakima will
Superintend Packing and Grad
ing of This Years Crop

The Yakima Valley Fruit Grow
er's Association is attempting to es-
tablish reputation for extra fancy
fruits in all the western markets.
First class fruit and uniform pack
are the main requisites for the
best trade. To educate the grow
ers toward the proper selection of
the fruit and the desired pack =,
the association has hired an expert
to spend his time during the COM
ing peach season, illustrating the
best methods.
r. A. Thatcher, of North Yaki-
ma, arrived in Kennewick the first
of the month, and since has been
visiting the members of the local
branch of the association. He will
personally superintend the pack
from the different places. A no.
ticeable improvement has already
been made in the packs received at
the warehouse.
In addition to the work OF
Mr.. Thatcher, the fruit will all
receive a second inspection before
shipping and every box will be cor
rectly graded before leaving the
local yards. In this manner the
outside markets will be assured that
the grade of Kennewick products
will be always as represented and a
steady demand for our fruits will
be the logical result.

CLUB PLANS ANOTHER
UP-RNER EXCURSION
Publicity Committee Now at Work
on Details of Second Annual
"Get-TOgether"

Though no date was set, the Com
mercial Club, at Tuesday nights
meeting, ordered its publicity COM
mittee committee to get busy on the
preparations for the second annual
up-river excursion.
Last years excursion, which was
held on August 10th, afforded a
day of great enjoyment for over 400
Kennewick people.
Two big steamers were chartered,
a round trip rate of s1.OO charged
and when all expenses paid small
balance was left to go into the Clubs
treasury. The excursionists were
royalty entertained during their
stops at Richland, Hanford and
White Bluffs, and 50 much good
feeling was stirred up between this
city and the towns visited that it
was resolved that the affair should
be made an annual event.
This year it may be necessary to
choose a later date for the picnic,
as the ranchers will be more than
busy with their large peach crop
during the fore part of the month
of August. The date will be set
after the up-river people have been
conferred with. It may be reason
ably assured that the live ones"
who constitute the publicity COM
mittee will put forth their best ef-
forts to out-do last years success,
and will have some schemes on tap,
when the big day comes. to add in
terest and enjoyment to Kenne-
wick's annual boat ride.

Want TO BUILD BIG CANNERY HERE
Promoters of Half-Million Dollar Company
Consider kennewick Most Advantageous
Location for Their Plant

territory, we are convinced, is there
another location so central to all
districts as this one. Here we
could draw from the Wenatchee
country which will soon have a rail
line south to this city. Then there
are the several districts of the Yak
ina valley. the Walla Walla coun-
try, Hood River and White Salmon,
and a water haul from lewiston
Charleston and the Hanford-W White
Bluffs country.
While it may seem to some that
our plant will be too large and our
capitalization too heavy for present
needs, we are convinced fro m
thorough investigation that it is only
by means Of a large plant manned
by experts and thoroughly equipped
to take care of all manner of fruit
by-products, that we can achieve
the greatest success.
The canning and evaporating of
various fruits will of course be the
main business Of the plant, but we
will also be equipped for picking,
preserving, the making of grape
juice, vinegar and denatured alco-
hol.i
Mr.. Sly and Mr.. Olinger, repre-
senting the Commercial Club, had
a conference with Mr.. Wilson We'd
nesday and went into the details of
the proposition quite thoroughly.
Concerning what was brought out
at the conference, Mr.. Sly said: Il
am thoroughly convinced that Mr..
Wilson and his associates are in
dead earnest about this and that it
is an opportunity which Kennewick
cannot afford to pass by. More
over, / believe that the men be-
bind the company thoroughly real
ize the advantages to them of build
ing the plant in this city and if
they receive any financial encour-
agement here, this is where it will
be placed.
Mr.. Wilson assured us that he
would have no trouble in floating
his bonds in the east, provided that
capitalists there could be shown
that the fruit districts at this end
would be financially interested in
seeing the plan become success.
While the promoters do not ask
that site for the plant be given
outright, they have right to ex-
pect that they will be able to ac-
quire such land (about three acres)
at a reasonable figure"

GOVERNMENT DREDeE WORK

Captain S. V. Winslow, of the
government dredge, Umatilla, has
received instructions to organize a
crew and be ready for service on
July s. 1t is expected Major Nor
row, official in charge of the river
improvement, will arrive in Lewis
ton on the morning of July 7, and
will make the trip on the Umatilla
to Pasco, for the purpose of inspect
ing the river. The first work of the
Umatilla will be to bring the drill
scows from Pasco to the lower Snake
river, where work for the summer
will be mapped out.

new TEAM TRACK

The Northern Pacific is extend
a team track west along the south
line of it's right of way on Front
street, to aid in handling the fruit
shipments out of this place.
The extention will be five hum
dred feet long and it is likely that
additional platforms will be built to
help in handling the spud and hay
crops.
Surveyors are now at work on the
house tracks for the new warehouse
and the construction crews will
start work as soon as this extension
of the team track is completed.

Within the next few months work
will be commenced on a 1925, 900
fruit cannery and evaporator plant
to be located somewhere central to
the fruit districts of eastern Wash
ington, and Kennewick has very
favorable chance of being the site
selected.
Rufus R. Wilson, representing a
number of Seattle men who are in
terested in the enterprise, stated
the outlines of the plan before the
Commercial club this week and a
co mmittee consisting of E. M. Sly,
J. B. Olinger and H. M. Bartlett
was appointed to investigate, and go
into the details of the scheme.
According to Mr.. Wilson, who
has been in Kennewick for the last
ten days, preliminary plans for the
establi shment of the plant have
been under way for the past year.
The promoters estimate that $780,
600 will be necessary to build the
plant and finance it successfully.
This money they propose to raise
by the sale of bonds and are count
ing on $4,000 of Kennewick S
money going into the deal if the
plant is located here. They hope
to raise $4,000 more in other fruit
districts near by and if they can do
this, they have assurance that
the remainder will be taken care of
by Portland, Seattle and eastern
capital. The company will be cap
italized at $500, 900, consisting of
s25O,OOO in common stock, in ad-
dition to the $3.50, 900 in bonds.
In speaking of the proposition,
Mr.. Wilson said: 1T is readily un-
derstood by everybody interested in
the fruit industry that such plant
as we are planning will be an alb
solute necessity in eastern Wash
ington within the next year or two.
In fact, if the plant was ready for
operation now it would result in an
immense saving to the growers this
year. There is not an evaporating
plant in the state of Washington
all the dried fruits consumed in the
state are shipped in from the east
or south.

Kennewick. Nowhere in all the
