LIBRARY GETS MONEY

The city council appropriated
ST. so a month to the maintenance
of the public library, at their ses-
sion last Tuesday night. A COM
mittee from the library board, con-
sisting of the librarian, treasurer
and Rev. Osgood, appeared and
made a report as to what the library
had been doing in the past year and
asked that the city contribute funds
for the continuance of the work.
The library is open two afternoons
and evenings each week and nearly
a hundred membership cards are in
circulation. There are nearly a
thousand volumes now in the pos
session of the association and pro-
spects are bright for a good start in
the book line for the time to come
when the city can afford Carnegie
institution.

PAY MORE FOR STREET LABOR

One of the city employees hitched
up old Dobbin last Sunday and
piloted the street and alley over
some of our beautiful (?) boulevards.
The committee Immediately limited
to the City Chief of Police-Street
Commissioner that few carloads of
rock, more or less, could be dis
pensed with in the immediate loca-
ton of the Kennewick Hotel and
various other spots. The Chief
came back with the remark that he
couldn't get anyone to really wag
the business end of the rake or
shovel at the prices that the city
was paying. So Councilman Hay
don suggested at the last meeting
that the wage scale be raised, and
raised so that a man would want to
be employed by the city and would
feel that he really must not lean on
his shovel handle for more than an
hour at any one time. Hereafter,
then, rock rollers will keep 'em 60
ing for the whole eight hours.

KENNEW|CK GETS NEXT
OPEN RIVER CONVENTION
Kennewick Man Honored by Being
Elected President of Waterways
Association

Kennewick will get the next con-
vention of the Columbia and Snake
River Waterways Association which
held two-days' meeting at Pendle-
ton this week. It was not fully de-
cided when the next convention
will be called, but it is likely to be
some time during the coming fall.
In addition to being named as the
next meeting place, this city was fur
ther honored when G F. Richardson,
Kennewick's pioneer worker for the
open river movement, was chosen
president. Other officers elected
were, R. G. Beach, Lewiston, vice
president; w. R. Stuble, Lewiston,
secretary-treasurer; E. A. Munger,
Pasco. assistant secretary.
The matter of providing the upper
Columbia and Snake Rivers with
boat service this year was not settled,
though a new plan was tentatively
agreed upon for the early resump-
ton OF river traffic. Scott q. Hen
derson, who was one of the speakers
Tuesday afternoon, urged upon the
Portland delegates the necessity of
awakening the commercial bodies of
that city to a realization of the
big benefits they are letting slip by
in not more heartily supporting the
open river movement. He asserted
that while the Portland houses were
in reality the biggest gamers in hav-
ing the boat service kept up, they
had contributed very little towards
its support in comparison to Kenne-
wick, for instance, where, he said,
the residents had contributed toward
the open river movement at the rate
of 81 per capita.

MASS MEETING

A public mass meeting is called
to meet at the City Hall Tuesday
evening, April %, at 8 O'Clock, for
the purpose of considering the ques-
ton Of a city park.
While there seems to be no pro-
vision authorizing a city of the
third class bonding for this purpose
the law does permit the levying Of
an assessment for park purposes and
the difficulty might be overcome by
the purchase of site on such terms
as could be met by taxes levied for
that purpose, if this course should
be thought advisable.
Anyone having sites to offer
should submit them to the commit
Tee before the above date if possible.
Ii we are to have park this year
tnere is no time to be lost, 80 give
'ne matter your thought and come
prepared to express your opinion.

ASSOCIATION EXPECTS TO HANDLE
NINETY PER CENT OF BERRY CROP
CrowersConer with Manager
will Prepare Label and Rules for Grading and Packng-Pros-
porous Era for Berry Men Should Result from Cooperation

grown in other sections. Half a
million slips will be printed and
one put into the bottom of each
hallock, which will certify to the
purchaser the fact that the berries
were grown in the Kennewick- Rich
land district and shipped by the
Kennewick District Fruit Growers
Association.
The question of label for the
crates was referred to the strawberry
committee and Mr.. Robbins. The
label will be distinctive and strik-
ing and we believe will be a large
factor in the scheme of advertising
and safeguarding our berries. Mr..
Robbins said that the "Y" brand
label used by the Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers Association has been
received everywhere with great favor
ard that where shipments are made
through the association without the
label attached it is to the disad-
vantage of the shipper, as dealers
call for the "Y' brand.
On recent trip to the east one
OF the first sights that met him as
he left the car in Pittsburg was a
delivery wagon with box of "Y"
brand apples and farther up the
street he came upon a push cart
with another box of the same brand
on its way to some consumer.
From the fact that we have prac-
tically no competing districts, with
cooperation on the part of all and
proper care in preparing the fruit
for market, we cannot fail to make
the Kennewick- -Richland labe l
known and sought for as the symbol
of berries of a superior quality and
an honest pack. everywhere, as far
as our Strawberries can be shipped.
Formulation of rules for grading
and packing the berries was left to
the committee which consists of
three representative growers from
Kennewick and two from Richland.
Questions ofinspection will be large
ly decided by the local manager,
Mr.. Olinger, and the sales manager
from the central association. One
inspector at least will be assigned to
duty in Richland and one or more
to Kennewick.
With the arrangements for mar
keting now made we look for great
future for Kennewick strawberries.

SPOKANE firm
BUYS CREAMERY
F. F. Dean Sells Interest and Goes
to Alfalfa to Manage
s New Company

Fay F. Dean has sold his con-
trolling interest in the Columbia
Valley Creamery Co. and stepped
down and out as manager yester-
day. His interest was purchased by
the Guernsey Milan Co. of Spokane
and at meeting of the directors
yesterday w. w. Delameter was
elected manager in Mr.. Deans place.
The Guernsey-M Milan Co. will con-
duct the creamery along the same
lines as heretofore. with the addi-
ton of daily auto service for the
collection of sweet cream which they
will shipto their retail trade in Spo-
kane.
Mr.. Dean goes to Alfalfa the first
OF the week to take the position of
president and general manager of
the Alfalfa Dairy Farm Co. at a
handsome salary and an interest in
the business. This company, or
ganized by the Grinnell interests,
is capitalized at 100000 and will
develop 300 acres of dairy land. A
$4,000 model creamery will be built
this season, also an ice plant of
sufficient capacity to supply the
town of Alfalfa. Mr.. Dean will
go east soon to buy 200 head of
Holsteins in the Wisconsin country
and to look after the purchase of
machinery for the plant.
Mr.. Delameter is very much
pleased with his new property and
the local company's business since
the first of the year seems to justify
his expectations. Mr.. Dean says
that they made three times as much
butter here last month as was turned
out at Prosser and half as much as
was made at the big Hazelwood
plant in Spokane.

THE AGRICULTURAL ADVISOR

A contract will probably be closed
this week with Lee M. Lamson, of
Goldendale, to come to Benton
county in the capacity of agricul-
tural advisor for the Crop Improve
ment Association. Mr.. Lamson is
graduate of Pullman and is now
teaching at that institution, his
term there expiring May 18th. He
has had six years of experience in
the Yakima Valley as manager for
Dunn & Co. at Parker, breeders of
blooded cattle. Mr.. Lamson will
very likely have his Office at Ken
newick. He is to receive salary
of $500 and office and travelling
expenses.

J. H. Robbins, manager of the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers Asso-
citation, was in the city Friday, April
18th, in consultation with the trustees
of the local association and repre-
sentatives of the Richland growers.
The strawberry committee reported
that between IS and 80 per cent of
the crop was assured to the associa-
tion. This more than met the con-
ditions on which the central associa-
ton had agreed to lend its aid in
marketing the crop. making Kenne-
wick during the strawberry season
headquarters of the sales depart
ment of the central.
Mr.. Robbins discussed the situa-
ton very fully, assuring the Ken
newick and Richland growers the
heartiest cooperation of the central
office in making the marketing cam
paign a complete success. He
showed how great a factor the straw
berry crop could be made in the
general marketing campaign, pro-
vided the association could handle
sufficient tonnage. He said that
the Kennewick- Richland berries
stand in a class by themselves both
as to quality and time OF ripening,
and by cooperation on the part of
all the growers, eliminating compe-
tition among themselves, excellent
returns can always be secured and
he urged the committee to make a
strenuous effort to get all the grow
ers to sign up with the association.
We believe that all will do so except
possibly a few who have personal
connection with dealers in the mar
keting centers.
In discussing of berries Mr.. Rob-
bins spoke of the reputation gained
by the Yakima Valley Fruit Grow
ers' Association by the policy of ad-
herring strictly to the rule of accept
ing no fruit for shipment that did
not grade up to the highest stand
ard so that the "Y" brand has come
to stand for the highest quality and
pack that is always honest.
The question was discussed of
safe guarding the output OF Kenne-
wick. Richland berries from suffer-
ing from the dishonesty of dealers
who put on the market as Kenne-
wick berries fruit of inferior quality.

ENGINEER RESIGNS

Engineer Smith, who has been
employed by the city during the
past year while the sewer system
has been in course of construction,
rendered his resignation to the coun-
Gil at their last session. The body,
however, has work for him to do
before the system is finally accepted
and refused to accept the resigna-
ton. He will prepare a complete
map of the lines of the city's sys-
tenn for reference in the future, and
the work will occupy a month at
least.

BAD BEATING AT WALLA WALLA

The fast Walla Walla high school
team ran rings around the local lads
yesterday at the Garden City, the
score being 13 to 0. According to
telephone report, the game was
lost not so much through heavy
hitting by the Walla Walla bunch
as through an all-round attack of
stage fright which caused the ascen-
sion of Kennewick's balloon in the
third inning and let in seven runs.

Three-Day Session Of Dalles Distric,
Workers Proves Entertaining
and Helpful

The seventeenth annual Dalles
District Epworth League convention
which held its sessions at the M. E..
church here from Thursday night
until Sunday night was a success in
every way and is said to have been
the most helpful and largest gather
ing of its kind in the history of the
district.
There were 113 delegates regis
tered. Meals were served to them
in the basement of the church by
the Ladies' Aid society and accomo-
dations were secured for them in
private homes throughout the city.
Ten sessions in all were held and
in addition to the regular business
sessions and institute work the DEL
egates had the opportunity of listen
ing to several valuable addresses on
various subjects in connection with
the work of the League.
The entertainment of the dele
gates by the Kennewick chapter on
Friday evening was an enjoyable
feature of the convention. Readings
by Martin CARRIER, Grace Colley,
Lydia Evans and Mrs. E. O. Brown
and music by Mrs. Moline, Mr.. Long,
Mr.. Houston and the male quartette
were well received.
On Saturday afternoon district
officers were chosen for the coming
year as follows: President, Harry
E. Cole of North Yakima; 1st vice.
president, T. A. Swayze OF Kenne-
wick; End vice-president. w. Nesbit
Byars of Goldendale 3rd; vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Julia Warner of Grand
view; 4th vice-president, Miss Grace
Carroll of Mabton; secretary treas
urer, Miss Alice Terry of Selah;
Junior League superintendent, Miss
Grace Troffer of Ellensburg; assist
ant president, Miss Bella B. Mark
of North Yakima.
The prize banner was awarded on
Sunday evening to Madras, Ore. i,
for having the most progressive
chapter and for having done the
most work in comparison to its size.
The missionary banner was pre-
sented to North Yakima chapter.
Resolutions were adopted by the
convention extending thanks to the
people of Kennewick and to the
Ladies' Aid for their hospitality, to
the several ministers of the district
for their service and assistance and
to the Commercial Club for the auto
ride.
The young people of the NJ. E.
church also wish to commend Mrs.
McMillin and Mrs. Raymond for
their able work as managers of the
kitchen and dining room, and to
thank the people of Kennewick for
their kind assistance in making this
convention such a pleasant success.
It was not fully decided where
next year convention will be held
but it will Lot be north of Kenne-
wick.

| IMPROVEMENTS IN WEST END

Property owners in the Olmsted
addition petitioned the city council
for a foot bridge across the canal at
Second street and for fire hydrant.
The matter was turned over to the
street and alley committee with
power to act and it is likely that
both requests will be granted.

BIG DEVELOPMENT
SCHEME AFL0AT
Report Of Proposed 10000 Acre
Irrigation Project Arouses
Speculation

A front page news story under a
New York dateline in last Sundays
Tacoma Ledger has created no little
interest hereabouts and has given
the local wiseacres chance to do
some extra-fancy prognosticating.
Here, in substance, is the story:
THE Benton county company,
backed by capital of $14O, ,OOO,O 900,
will soon begin the development of
40, 900 acres which it owns in Ben
ton county. Four thousand 1O-acre
fruit farms will be added to the re-
sources of this great state when the
project is completed. Docks will
be built along the Columbia river,
along which the land lies, and the
Northern Pacific railroad. which is
financially interested, will extend
its line from Kennewick to the new
townsite which is to be called Berg
kamp, after the president of the
development company, George B.
Bergkamp.
Ready in 1915
Several Pacific Coast and New
York banks control the corporation
and the Guarantee Trust company
of New York is Eastern fiscal agent.
Mr.. Bergkamp hopes to have every
thing in readiness for settlers before
the opening of the Panama fair. He
estimates that there will be thous-
ands 90 to the Coast during the fair
with railroad rates low and never
return to the East, but find their
homes and fortunes and health in
Washington"
Just where this 10000 acres of
land can be is the question. The
only large body of land known to
be owned by the Northern Pacific
in this county, lying near the river.
is back of the sand hills between
Richland and Hanford, near Rim
gold, in the territory traversed by
the survey of the proposed Kenne-
wick Northern.
If the story has any foundation
of fact, the development of a pro-
ject of this extent will, of course, be
of great value to Kennewick for it
will mean another railroad leading
out from here and the distribution
from this point OF an immense
amount of supplies. In this con-
nection, attention is drawn to the
report that the Northern Pacific
has had, for some time, plans pre-
pared for the construction at this
place of a steamboat larger and
more powerful than any that have
as yet been placed on this run.
If the story is merely the product
of the fertile brain of some reporter,
as many people are inclined to
think, and if said reporter will for
ward his name to the officers of the
M. Association at Kennewick, he
will be given an honorary life men,
bership in that rapidly growing or
panization.

What the Panama Canal Will
Mean to Western Fruit Growers

fruits to the London market. Here are
some of the points made:
For fully thirty years developments in
the fruitgrowing world have been en-
couraged by the thought of the ever
open English market Grow good fruit
and send Il to London seems to have been
the universal motto from Kent TO the
Antipodes, and from the Pacific Coast TO
the West Indies.
Briefly, there is a scheme in contem-
plation to bring as soon as possible large
cOnsignments of fruit from the Pacific
Coast direct to England, via the Panama
Canal If there should be a sufficiently
large demand for the oranges and apples,
then all will go well, but there are still
many knotty points to be considered. Fruit
from that part of the world is by no means
unknown in this country. California sends
regular supplies. the principal items being
apples, seedless oranges, pears, and plums.
Oregon provides apples and pears, and
Wenatchee, in the State of Washington, is
already famed for its magnificent apples
British Columbia likewise produces and ex-
ports apples of firstrate quality and hand
some appearance.
AT present the facilities for transport
although admirable, involve much labor
and expense. There is first of all the long
journey across the American continent
further voyage by sea, making a total of
quite 5000 miles The actual mileage,
however is not a matter of much moment;
it is the cost and trouble of the trans
continental route thai shippers are
anxious to avoid. All .nings considered,
it is wonderful how well the delicate fruits
stand the journey. Under improved cir
cumstances II would be delivered here well.
nigh perfect
Our American friends may as well re-
alize at once that they have a choice OF
two kinds of trade so far as England lie
concerned; either small shipments and
large prices, or large cOnsignments and low
prices. There is no other alternative. The
reduction In freights-as yet predetermined
expected to synchrOnize with the open
ing Of the Panama Canal, may go far TO
satisfy Californian growers with lower
prices on this side, and bring about the

Your fop is not to be connected with good
taste in anything and is not compatible
with an appreciation of art, which brings
forth the architecture and decoration of
to-day The fOp, including your Beau
Brummel and your Beau Nash, was the
product of a period OF thoroughly bad taste
in everything, including clothes.
In adopting beautiful clothes of color
men should not be limited to any particu-
lar period. just as in architecture we are
to-day not limited. If you like Roman
garb, wear it, If you prefer seventeenth
century Italian, take that, and so on. But
above all things maze your clothes beauti-
full, and have them express your indi-
viduality, your personality. Your clothes,
like your face, should tell what sort OF
man you may be.
Don't be afraid of anachronisms in your
attire, so long as that attire may be beau
tiful I'm not afraid of stepping little bit
out of the period. The clothes ] wear as
Violetta In La Traviata" at the Metro
politan Opera House, for example, may be
called modern gowns. But they are beau
tiful and the operate Camille was an in
dividualistic woman. She herself would
have worn what she wanted, so why
shouldn't ] as Violetta?
