The selections must all have bear
ing on the temperance question and

ton recited by the winner of medal
cannot be repeated in contesting
for another medal. Mrs. E. O.

ELDOM since the days when
the inspired men Of Holy Writ
= walked on earth has there come
to the human race such star

woe as that made recently by daring
physician. In a manner somewhat
similar to that of the high officials of
Biblical times the medical powers have
subjected the self proclaiming Samari-
tan to searching doubt
Meantime the suffering and dying
victims of the worst disease scourge
known all over the country have been
reused to feverish wonder and ex-

promises.
DR.. Friedrich Franz friedman, a
comparatively young German physi-
clan from Berlin. who dares to say he
can cure persons suffering from the
white plague, is cause of the medical
sensation. One young man committed
suicide and another died Of exposure
because of DR.. Friedmann's unfulfilled
promise shortly after the German sa-
want came to the United States. For
days hundreds of emaciated, shriveled
and wasted victims of tuberculosis be-
sieged 339 Fifth avenue, where the
physician had declared he would treat
tuberculosis patients. only to find that
DR.. friedman was not permitted to
practice.
DR.. friedman had boldly come to
the city from across the ocean after
much heralding and had announced he
was ready to treat the rich and poor
alike. The advisory board of the de-
partment of health in New York
straightway investigated the claims of
the newcomer and offered to give him
every opportunity Of demonstrating
his serum in one of the tuberculosis
hospitals before competent medical
men. The board prohibited him, how
ever, from practicing upon patients
until he had passed an examination
and received license. just as all other
practicing physicians were forced to do.
This plan was not in accordance with
the wishes Of the physician. Thus,
while thousands Of consumptives wrote
to him and came to him from many
distant points with pleas for help, he
remained inactive.
Meantime word came from investi-
gators in Berlin that Dr. Friedmann's

Letters from the eople

more years and have studied condi-
lions and marketing more thorough
ly than any other one man as re-
CARDS the Kennewick Valley at least.
During that time I have seen the
output steadily grow from a few
crates of strawberries to a great
many cars. All this time, owing to
the continuous changing of growers,
it has been a problem to get the
stuff put up the way ones market
demanded and such failure in many
cases has held to blacken Kenne-
wick Valleys good name and has
made selling a hard matter. But
this is getting better year by year
and as the dealers and the growers
get together more closely this will
naturally improve.
The truth of the matter is, the
growers of the Kennewick Valley
have received higher average prices
for what stuff was marketable than
any place around.
| maintain that any firm or other
company of men who say they can t
sell the products until they have a
control of all or 80 per cent of the
crop has wrong idea. There is
no way that growers could lower
their net prices for products any
quicker than by the eliminating of
competition. | have read, and SO
have you, articles in local news
papers wherein certain people have
laid the blame of their failure in
showing good net results to the fact
that they had competition. What
would you think Of a grower who
said, I can't grow stuff as long
as my neighbor grows stuff"
There is room for two or three
unions or two or three firms to bid
for Kennewick's produce and any
right thinking farmer will agree
with me if he will stop and use his
own thinking ability and not let
some other fellow do it for him.
1t takes years and years to get
fruit to selling f. o. b. It's not a
mere trifle as you may think. Did
you ever stop to think what hap
pens to any one community when it
is controlled by one concern? No
matter what the line is, no one firm
can sell all the trade in any town.
| want to see any association sue
coed but let them drop the spirit of
trying to control merely for tonnage
and get down to showing better re-
suits and let the membership be in
creased as their results will merit.
That's fair, is it not? Don't accept
any such foolish idea that I or any
one else has to have all the crop to
sell. Learn to creep before you
walk; just so learn to handle well a
little before trying to dictate to the
masses.
say work together-get together
on selling prices each day-easiest
thing in the world; but don't for
get that to eliminate competition will
surely be disastrous. We all want
to see Kennewick prosper and see
her go on the market as Kennewick,
not as a little side issue.
| wish it to be understood that
am not antagonizing better methods
of marketing but rather | welcome
them. But they must be tried and
have merit-real dollar-a cents
merit-before I would jump at them
if [ were you.

WANT TO Be ENLIGHTENED
March 18th, 1918.

Kennewick, WASH,
Gentlemen:
Referring to the "Nohfe TO Water
I7ors" now appearing in the col
umns of the Reporter" there are
several statements therein that are
not quite clear to many of the 1853
members of this Association, and
General Manager Rudkin will, no
doubt, take pleasure in enlighten-
ing us through the medium of the
press.
He states the three dollar rate for
a double water right" is below the
actual cost of the service rendered,
but is given to the farmers as an
act of philanthrophy.
The sworn testimony of officials
of the n. P. Irrigation Co. before
the Public Utilities Commission was
that the actual cost for maintenance,
per acre, was S1.63 and that the
ditch could readily carry double the amount
ofsvater at nominaly THE same cost.
Which statement is correct?
Regarding the offer to sell per-
petual water right for an additional
acre-foot at $500 per acre and a
maintenance charge of IS cents per
acre.: Interest on $500 per an
mum at per cent will amount to
S1.75; add to this maintenance
charge of IS cents per acre and the
old contract maintenance charge of
$1.OO-total s3.5O-for a water al
lowance of one second foot (for 100
(acres) and one acre foot. Will
you kindly advise us, Manager Rud-
kin, whether or not the offer of a
so-called double water right of two
second-feet at $500 per acre is more
economical to the farmer than one
second-foot pro rata )and one acre
foot. Would we not get about two
thirds more water in an irrigation
season from second-foot for 100
acres than we would from an acre
foot?
From your testimony before the
Commission, Manager Rudkin, that
your company bought this ditch be-
cause it was a necessary evil" and
that as soon as their land holdings
were sold that the farmers could
have the ditch - we were somewhat
in doubt as to whether or not they
would sell US an additional perpetua.
aOater right. - Is this offer still open?
We would greatly appreciate it,
Manager Rudkin, if you would favor
US with an early reply.
