ARM BROKEN IN RUNAWAY

J. Eustes, who has been employed
with the Northern Pacific Irrigation
Co. for some time, was badly in
jured in runaway Tuesday morn
ing. He was driving up the hill
near the power station on the High
lands when the single-tree of the
wagon broke and frightened the
horses, who plunged into a barb
wire fence. Mr.. Eustes, while try
ing to manage the frightened team,
was thrown out, breaking one arm,
spraining his other wrist and was
badly cut about the head and face.
Both horses were badly cut by the
wire.

REPORT COMMENDS HIGH SCHOOL

Patrons of the local school should
feel gratified over the report of the
state inspector concerning the local
high school. The inspection was
made last April and clerk of the
board, G. M. Annis, received a
copy of the report this week from
Martha A. Sherwood, Secretary of
the State Board Of Education, at
Olympia. The report sets forth
the number of pupils, number of
teachers, equipment, etc., and
closes by saying: This is one of
the best equipped and one Of the
most efficiently conducted small
high schools in the state. A fine
high school spirit prevails within
and without the school,. !"
Mr.. Annis has just finished his
two-weeks' job of compiling the
school census for the district. He
found $50 children of school age,
OF which 355 are boys and 3O5 girls.
This number is decrease of seven
from last years figures.

JEWELL AND De GROAT
FIGHT TEN EVEN ROUNDS
Good Sized Crowd Get Money Worth
at Smoker-Boys Will Meet Again
at Pasco This Month

Harry Jewell, of Tacoma, and
Walter DeGroat, of Pasco, put up a
great scrap at the smoker last Fri
day and none of the $50 fight fans"
who were there can say truthfully
that he didn't get his moneys
worth. Referee York, of Pasco,
called the affair draw and nobody
kicked at the decision, for both boys
were fighting strong at the finish
and neither had a decided advantage
in any one round.
Jewell did his best work in the
eli nches while DeGroat landed
cleaner in the long range work.
The last round was a slam bang af-
fair and in the excitement Jewell
unintentionally committed foul
by swinging and grazing DeGroat's
head when the Pasco boy was down
on one knee. This nearly precip-
itated rough-house, several of the
Pasco ringsiders jumping through
the ropes to protest. DeGroat was
not hurt in the least by the foul and
both boys were slugging toe to toe
when the final gong sounded.
AS a curtain raiser Fifer and
Taylor of Kennewick boxed four
even rounds. The preliminary be-
tween Gordon, of Pasco, and Miles,
OF Kennewick, which was to have
gone six rounds, ended suddenly in
the second when Miles got his jaw
in the way of one of the Pascc lads
punches and went to sleep for about
half a minute.
There was $500 in the house and
Jewell and DeGroat netted about
500 apiece. They are reported to
be matched for another 90 in Pasco
July 10Th.
A delegation of about hundred
sports came over from Pasco on a
special to see the fight and incident
ally to boost for their celebration
and Chautauqua. At Pasco tomor-
row Saturday night Frank Street,
of Spokane, and Jack Carpenter, of
Salt Lake, welterweights, will meet
in ten round bout.

HORSE Thief RE-CAPTURED

L. G. Peterson, who was con-
victed last fall ofhorse stealing, and
who escaped while under ST. 900
bail, was captured this week by
Sheriff Mahan at Klamath Falls,
Ore. Peterson, with two others,
joke and Sparrow by name, were
convicted in the Superior Court, but
he was released temporarily on bail
which his father furnished. He
disappeared, and the sheriff's office
has since been on the lookout
for him. Once in the past eight
months he was heard from at El-
Paso, Texas, but before he could be
apprehended, had moved.
Last Friday word was received
that the man was at work on farm
near Klamath Falls, and the sheriff
Immediately went after him, pas
sing through Kennewick on his way
to Prosser Saturday.
Peterson appeared before Judge
Holcomb Tuesday morning asking
for a new trial, which was denied.
He still maintains his innocence,
but the judge sentenced him to five
to ten years in the penitentiary,
stating that he was given the limit,
owing to the fact that he jumped
his bail,

potato deal as it stands today.
Walla Walla, our only competitor
so far in the new potato business,
has been quoting $500 per hundred
weight and paying about S1.75
there, but owing to several cars
going out of here on consignment,
the price has been beaten down un-
til now the grower cannot get more
than 81 90 here and this is just the
! beginning Of the season.
THE decline is always due to
the fact that consigned stuff floods
the market and dealers sell it at
any price to make room for more.
The only way to keep our markets
in good condition is to sell only +.
o. b. Kennewick. Your stuff is
worth more 80 times out of a
hundred here than it is any place
else. It takes so much hard work
to produce a crop of peaches that
they certainly should not be per-
mitted to 60 ont on consignment
when the peach demand is just
beginning.
''The question is this: Is your
marketing concern really giving you
service by selling your fruit outright
or are they merely taking the easy
way of consigning to jobbers that
you or any one else could ship to
and get the whole returns? This is
a question that the grower may well
consider before he makes arrange
ments for the shipping of his crop.
F. o. b. is just a joker unless it
states f. o. b. Kennewick.
There are cases at times when
the fruit arrives after all sales for
the day are over and so has to be
consigned out, but those cases are
due to failure on the part of the
grower to notify the shipper that he
is going to pick on that day and to
advise him as to the prot bable
amount of his days pick. Every
grower should notify his shipper
the day before that he has certain
fruits to pick, so giving the shipper
4 day to get busy and find a
market for his particular lot. This
is very important, as growers COM

TRANSFER is, 900 ACRES IN
SOUTHWESTERN BENTON COUNTY

Last Friday there was filed in the
auditors Office at Prosser series of
instruments by which the Worces-
ter Fruit Lands Co. conveyed to
the Washington Farm Lands Co.. :,
(both Washington Corporations
approximately $1,000 acres of land
lying along the Columbia River and
embracing the townsite of Luzon,
between Patterson and Carley in the
extreme southwestern corner of the
county. The papers were filed by
John A. Laing, of Portland, general
council for the Pacific Power &
Light Co. The Guaranty Trust Co.
of New York are eastern fiscal
agents for the Washington Farm
Lands Co. and hold a mortgage of
$454, 900 on the lands included in
the transaction.
This may be a part solution of
the big colonization story which was
published under New York date
line last April, as C. M. Maxwell,
vice-president of the Washington
Farm Lands Co., and the Guaranty
Trust Co., were mentioned in that
dispatch which told of the proposed
development of 40, 900 acres of land
along the Columbia inthis county at
an estimated cost of $l4O, ,OOO, 900.

GROWERS LISTEN TO
MARKETING TALK
Chas. H. ColGna Outlines New Grower
to-Retaler Plan Of Selling
Without Consigning

The talk given by Chas. H. Col.
Inns to the fruit growers last Men
day evening at the Commercial Club
room was well attended and consid-
erable interest was shown in Mr..
Collins new plan of grower-to-
retailer marketing. The plan was
quite thoroughly outlined in these
columns last week and we publish
below synopsis Of Mr.. Collins re-
marks of the evening:
Until the growers of this valley
go to the other end of the line, in
Vestlgate the marketing and see the
difference in the way consigned
package is treated in comparison
| with the package which the dealer
has bought outright, it is not to be
expected that they will realize fully
the evil of allowing their fruit to be
consigned to Spokane and Seattle
commission men, to be used by
tnem to break down the market
price. If the fruit is to be con-
signed the growers themselves might
oetter do their own shipping with
out cost so long as the jobbers at
these nearby points are to get the
Stuff.
Just the other day we noticed
IN the Seattle Produce news that
oewber1ies from this section were
selling slowly at $500 per crate,
| which Would mean to the grower
not more than s1.50 per crate;
while on the same day local buying
price in the markets here was So
per crate and the demand was good.
lhls Is just one of the many instances
"nere the grower gets the worst OF
we deal every time he consigns or
gives his fruit to any concern to
conslgn for him.
An illustration of the breaking

OBJECTIONS ARE
SMOOTHED OUT
West End Property Owners to be
Modified in Re-assessments-
Council Accepts Grading

The hearing of the assessment
rolls for the curbing in the Anon
addition, which was continued by
the council from last meeting, was
given Tuesday night. One addi-
tional name was added to the list of
objectors, A. V. McReynolds. Scott
Henderson was the only one of the
objectors present, however, and he
stated to the council that he would
withdraw his objections if in the
new rolls the extras were charged
to the whole district instead of to
the individual property owner. 1t
was the sense of the body that in
the re-assessment this would be
done, which will mollify the feel
ings of the majority of the object
ors.
Owing to the fact that flaw ex-
listed in the preparations of the roll,
it was necessary for the city to hold
another hearing on the rolls, any
way. In matters of this kind the
| aw provides that a certain length
of time must elapse before the final
hearing after the formal publication.
In this case the time was one day
short, and to keep the records Of
the case clean in order to sell the
bonds it was necessary for the city
to hold new hearing. At this
time the figures will be submitted
to cover the objections mentioned.
Then the matter of the accept
ance of the grading contract came
up, and for minute it looked as
though the reporters would really
have something to write about.
Councilman Desgranges didn It want
the contract accepted and said some-
thing about the engineer not hav-
ing had grade stakes set for the con-
tractor before the work commenced.
That's a d lie," shouted T.
Wright. Desgranges half stood in
his chair, switching it around, and
the council looked for some lively
action, but he sat down again when
the Mayor began pounding on the
old broken glass on the council
table. He had to pound rather
vigorously to be heard above the
raised voices, but he managed to
stave off any real action. The
whole thing was salved over then
by the city clerk asting pardon for
them crool woids which I Jest
spoke.' A vote was then taken
and the grading job was accepted.
Once again it looks as though
those long suffering residents on
east Fifth street were about to have
their road put in passable shape.
The council passed a resolution
freeing the owners from any expense
in the widening of the road, and the
remainder of the waivers can now
be secured, it is thought. Once all
the waivers are in the hands of the
council they intend to speedily finish
the long delayed work. That street
is destined to become one of the
main arteries for traffic to and from
town from the east if it is ever put
into passable shape.
