HIGH SCHOOL Wins FROM
PASCO IN FIRST GAME
Burmaster Fans Thirteen and Allows
but one Hit-Score Nine
to One

In spite of the rain and cold last
Friday afternoon the handful of
townspeople who went to b e
grounds saw right good ball game.
The local school proved too much,
however, and the game was won be-
fore the umpire took his place. The
Pasco lads went into the game ex-
pecting to hold the little end of the
club, and the score, 9 to 1, was not
surprising.
The game was fairly played, what
there was of it. but was not lively
enough to give all the members of
the teams a chance to know what
they could go. OF the Is put-outs
Cracker Howe is credited with
13. and the other six were handled
entirely by the infeld.
The Pasco boys are credited with
but one hit, it bringing in their
one and only score.
Burmaster, who "lobbed 'em
over" on occasion struck out thirteen
batters and gave but one pass. Rob-
inson, who pitched for the Pasco
boys, passed nine fellows to first
and allowed seven hits, "Soup"
Howe stretching one of them for
two bases. He struck out nine.
There was large and enthusiastic
bunch of youngsters perched like
bantams on the top roost of the
bleachers and they enjoyed every
minute of the play.
The game was the first of the
season, and is about one-third of
the total number the high school
team will play on the home grounds.
Some good material for a first class
team is listed on the high school
membership.

BOLD HOLDUP
LAST NIGHT

Last night, shortly after two
O'Clock, the Kennewick Transfer
Co. bus was held up by two high
waymen, while returning to town
from meeting the S., P. & S. train.
w. M. Service, of Silverton, Ore. ;,
who was the only passenger, was re-
lieved of $40 and his watch, while
E. l.. Baxter, driver for the trans
fer company, was cleaned" to the
extent of a couple of dollars.
The two men who did the Job
answer to the description of the men
who robbed Christ Christensen the
first of the month. One is described
as being tall and heavy set, the
other short and of light build.
Neither was masked last night.
Two men answering the above
description were camped in the
bushes near the S., P. & S. yester-
day and they are the ones the police
are now looking for. Chief Ferrell
has phoned to Walla Walla to have
the penitentiary blood hounds sent
over and if the highwaymen are
still in this vicinity there is a good
chance that the dogs can trail them
down.

COUNTY FUNDS
TO AID FARMERS
Commissioners Vote Appropriation
Of $3.50 per Month Toward
Crop Improvement Work

At their meeting last Tuesday the
county commissioners voted an
appropriation not to exceed $50
per month for the support of the
Benton County Crop Improvement
Association, which, within two or
three weeks, will have a trained
agricultural advisor at work
among the farmers of the county.
The commissioners action is a
source of much qualification to
every farmer in the county who
wishes to improve his condition
(and what one does not?) and is
particularly pleasing to F. E. De-
Sellem and L. S. Grassland, presi-
dent and secretary of the associa-
ton, who have worked hard dur
ing the past few months to arouse
interest in the work among the
farmers and business men. Besides
F., Messrs. DeSellem and Grassland,
those who were present to urge the
commissioners TO action included
| Byron Hunter, representative of
the government department of agri-
culture; M. w. Mattecheck, of
the Kennewick Business Mems
Association, and a number of bus
mess men and ranchers of Prosser
and vicinity.
How the Work Will Be Financed
What the Crop I m prove ment
Association stands for and how the
agricultural advisor will work is so
generally understood that there is
no need here to go furthur into de-
tail on those points. The cost of
conducting the county farm bureau
this year is estimated at about
$500. OF this, $500 will be paid
by the county, $1,000 by the Chi
cago Council of Grain Exchanges,
and nearly all of the balance, it is
expected, can be collected through
the farmers individual member
ship fees of $1.OO each. The Ken
newick Business Mems Association
and the Prosser Commercial Club
each have pledged $500 for the
work, to be collected if needed.
No funds were available from the
national department this year, but
it is expected that they will have
an adequate appropriation for the
work next year, and if so, Mr..
Hunter states that Benton county is
first on the list to be provided for
in this state.
The work will be under the sup
ervision of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and the Washington
State Agricultural College. The
county advisor will be graduate of
the state college and he will have at
his disposal the facilities of the col
lege and the fund of information
which has been collected there
through years of research.
At this it is not possible to
! name the man who will be employed
as advisor. Several men are
available, all practical experts, at
salaries ranging from $500 to
$4,000. It is likely that the final
decision in the matter will be left
to Mr.. Hunter and that he will de-
eide upon man within week.

pl AIMING FOR
GRAPE CARNIVAL
.~h,b Thinks Show Should be
Broadened This Year-Social
Night Every Thursday

The question OF Whether or not
vonnewick will hold a Grape Car
n;val this year was brought up at
last Tuesday nights meeting of the
Commercial Club, and while nothing
definite was agreed upon, it is safe
to say that our big autumn event
will be held and in a manner that
will eclipse even the successes of
1912 and 1913.
Not dissenting voice was heard
when the matter was brought up
for discussion, the general senti-
ment seeming to be that the pub
! licity given to the city through the
Carnival in the past two years has
more than repaid for the labor and
money which they have cost, and
that the business men generally will
again lend their hearty support to
the affair.
It was suggested that instead of
setting the Carnival dates for the
week preceding the State Fair, as
has been done formerly, we should
wait until the week following the
Yakima show. In doing so, the
Kennewick exhibit could be put on
exhibition at Yakima in a fresh
condition and much more credit
able showing made, with better
chances of landing the big prizes.
! By waiting until a couple of weeks
! later in the season, too, our grape
season will be at its height and a
finer exhibition of ripened varieties
can be made at home.
1t was suggested, also, that the
scope Of the Carnival be widened
this year to include all branches of
farm work and prizes for livestock
and dairying be offered. as well as
for grapes, fruits and vegetables.
Social Session Every Week
Thursday nights hereafter will be
social nights at the club rooms.
The question of how to make the
rooms socially attractive for the
members was brought up and it was
pointed out that the clubs equip
Ament was not being brought into
use as it had been intended when
the billiard and reading tables were
provided. 1t was suggested that,
while the rooms are free for the
!. members use on any night, if one
night IN the week were to be desig-
mated as social night" the mem
oers would become accustomed to
dropping in on that night par
ucnlarly and many pleasant eve
nlngs and much good for the club
Will result. A vote was taken and
thursday night was chosen, the
custom to begin this week.
