JOHN BARON'S HOME
A MODEL IMPROVEMENT

A type of country home which it is
fitting that Imperial county farmers
should have has been erected by John
Baron of the McCabe church dis
trict, on his fine 100 acre tract.
The building is 46x56 over all, there
being fine wire enclosed porches on
both floors Of front and rear, the
first floor having 10 foot ceiling, the
second 8 foot. The first floor is di-
vided into kitchen, dining room, liv-
ing room, two bed rooms and bath and
avatory, with hot and cold water COM
plete and modern. The second floor
S divided into hall, five bed rooms,
and lavatory with hot and cold water.
There is fine basement under the
main part, 36x42 feet, floor cemented
and making in effect third floor.
The entire building is piped for gas
and wired for electricity.
Mr.. Baron has fine automatic gas
generating machine installed in an
outbuilding which works on the prin-
ciple of hydraulic pressure, the water
supplied from his own water works
system. The gas can be used both for
lighting and cooking although pri-
marily designated for cooking, as he
expects to use electricity.
To make his "baronage" complete
there is full system of waterworks
installed. A strong tower thirty-four
feet high, sufficiently high to throw
water over all other buildings, sup
ports a tank holding $500 gallons of
water, and, situated on the bank of the
Brawley main, no lack of water need
be feared. Underneath is large els
tern to be used as settling tank from
which water is pumped to the tank.
This is the class of building, not
necessarily as to size, but as to ap-
portionment, which is the birthright of
every Imperial valley farmer. With
local church, school, township library
auto, small ice plant, cooling apparat-
us, books, papers, magazines, the I'M
perial valley farmer is and ought to
be king of the soil and the possessor
of his own soul.

Another Mans Experience


A l.. Sly, who owns ten acre ranch
south of town, gave Press man some
very interesting facts regarding the
income he has derived from his place.
Mr.. Sly has it all in alfalfa, and is
just cutting his seventh crop. He has
raised eighty tons of alfalfa, which
is reasonably worth eight hundred dol
lars and has fed two cows and one
horse. He is lumberman by vocation
and has done all his own work in ad-
dition to the ranching, having built a
house for himself and dug bitches on
his place. He feels that if he was to
have couple or so more cows and
give all his time to careful ranch work,
looking more closely after poultry and
giving careful attention to details he
could easily make one thousand dol
lars per year off his ten acre ranch
and not have to work so very hard
at that.
A very interesting phase of the ex-
periences of Mr.. Sly and his wife is
the latter's health. After trying the
northern mountain states, Washington,
Oregon and Northern California they
came to the Imperial valley. Upon ar
irving here Mrs. Sly weighed ninety
five pounds, while now she pulls down
the beam at one hundred and thirty
five pounds, which runs the gamut of
health from misery to happiness.

The Telephone Girl

The telephone girl sits still in her
chair
And listens to voices from every
where.
She knows all the gossip, she knows
all the news,
She knows who is happy and who has
the blues;
She knows all our sorrows, she knows
all our joys,
She knows all the girls who are "chas-
ing the boys" v
She knows all our troubles, she knows
of our strife,
She knows every man who talks mean
to his wife;
She knows every time we are out with
the boys,
She knows the excuses that each fel-
low employs.
If the telephone girl told half that
she knows,
1t would turn all our friends into bit
terest foes;
She would sow small wind that
would soon be gale,
Tngulf us in trouble and land us in
Jail.
She would start forth story which,
gaining in force,
Would cause half Of our wives to sue
for divorce.
She could get all our churches mix
ed up in a fight,
Ard turn our bright days into sorrow.
ing night;
In fact, she could keep the whole town
in a stew,
If she told but one-tenth of the things
that she knew.
Say, kid, but doesn't it make your
head whirl
When you think what you owe to the
the telephone girl?

LOCAL BUSINESS PLACES
UNDER new OWNERS
Cobb Department Store Purchased by
Sherk & Co., Of Portland
Corder Sells to Pinckney

This week two of Kennewick's s
business houses have changed own
ers. The firm of T. C. Cobb & Co
was transferred today to J. w.
Sherk & Co., the new firm taking
charge of the affairs of the store
tomorrow Since last Saturday the
new firm has been busy taking a
complete inventory of the stock,
which totalled between $25, 900 and
$4,000.
Mr.. Sherk is man who has had
years of experience in the mercan-
tile business and intends to make
his Kennewick store the biggest sue
cess of his career. His family has
arrived and they will make Kenne-
wick their permanent home.
New stock in all lines has been
ordered and every effort will be
made to keep the store among the
first in the valley.
Corder's candy store and bakery
now belongs to E. A. Pinckney of
Pasco who will conduct it in the
future. Mr.. Pinckney has a similar
store at Pasco which is one of the
finest in this section of the state.
He has made reputation for the
quality of the goods he carries, and
if he keeps the Kennewick store to
the mark set by his Pasco place, he
will give Kennewick people more
than their moneys worth in his
line.

FINE STEAMER TO Be
READY IN SEPTEMBER
]. w. Greene, Promoter, Writes Of Plans
Concerning Modem Passenger
Boat and New Ferry

That there is more than idle con-
lecture in the report that Spokane
man will put modern freight and
passenger boat on the run between
Kennewick- -Pasco and the up-river
points is evidenced by the following
extracts from a personal letter to, a
business man in Kennewick, written
by J. w. Greene, who signs himself
as president and general manager of
the "Pasco- Kennewick Railway &
Navigation Company" Mr.. Greene
says:
I think now that I can move in
the next thirty or forty days. How
ever, it will depend somewhat upon
the progress that is made in build
ing my boats. I let the contract to
some Seattle parties and hope to get
the boat some time during the early
part of September.
L am only building one boat at
present, which / expect to run be-
tween Kennewick and White Bluffs.
It will be a mixed boat, capacity
about $50 passengers and fifty tons
of freight, and will have a speed of
about fourteen miles per hour. It
will be fully equipped with all mod
ern conveniences.
I am also building $40, 900
ferry boat to run between Kenne-
wick and Pasco, which / hope to
have ready by the first of October. +"
Mr.. Greene further states that he
will make his home in Kennewick,
while the general offices of the COM
pany will be in Pasco.
Mr.. Greene, in company with an
official from the general offices OF
the Northern Pacific, was in the
valley last Friday and made trip
over the territory which will be
served by the new boat.

HORSE HEAVEN HARVEST
NOW IN FULL SWING
Some Places Report Yield Above
Average, but Total Crop Will be
Far Short Of Last Year

Wheat that runs well around the
twenty-five bushel mark is now be-
ing harvested in the Horse Heaven
hills back of the Kennewick valley.
Wheat that runs twenty-five bushels
to the acre in this section is well
above the average yield, and the
threshing is turning out a greater
amount OF wheat for the amount of
straw than ever before. What
there is shows a much heavier head
this year than has ever been seen in
these hills before.
While there are several places in
this end of the Horse Heaven ridge
that are. putting up twenty-five
bushels, we do not wish to convey
the idea that the total acreage will
amount to that. Many of the places
will not have enough to pay for the
cutting. Exposed places that were
in winter wheat were subject to the
big winds of early winter which
blew much of the seed out, and in
many places the wheat that was
re-seeded was frozen before it had
reached a sufirient growth to be
able to withstand the cold. In these
places the stand is so thin that nc
effort will be made to harvest it.
Some summer fallow places are
yielding well with volunteer wheat,
it running as high as ten bushels to
the acre, it is reported.
But little new machinery is re.

The total yield, it is estimated
will not amount to more than thirty.

practically all of that amount will
