MERCHANT ANSWERS
BARTLETT'S RESOLUTIONS
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space in your
paper to answer the resolutions Of
fered by H. M. Bartlett to the stock
holders of the Fruit & Produce Co. g.,
published in your last weeks paper,
and said to be unanimously adopted
by that organization.
This resolution, | think, is mis-
leading, does the merchants a great
injustice and is intended to prejudice
the stockholders of the Fruit & Pro-
duce Co. and other ranchmen against
the merchants of Kennewick.
We are know full we'll that the
prosperity of a farming community
is the foundation of all prosperity.
l can say for my own firm, and I
think the ranchmen and all others
in this vicinity will bear me out,
that we have always done all we
could in our feeble way to assist
every public improvement that
comes up, and we have extended
credit more than we were able, to
many people for months, to bridge
them over the hard places.
AS to the exorbitant prices that
are charged, l will say that we keep
in touch with and keep the price
lists of the leading retail stores of
the surrounding cities and will COM
pare prices any time on the same
grade of goods. We have duplicated
a number of bills for goods that
were made out to be purchased in
other cities.
Everyone knows that for the last
four years the markets have had a
downward tendency, and it is pre-
posterous for any firm to step in on
a downward market and claim they
have done all this and saved the
people from all this extortion by
the merchants of Kennewick.
AS to the get-rich-quick part of
the business, will say we never made
a net profit of 24a per cent off the
people, but we would be glad to
make. a contract with the people
for net profit of 10 per cent and
the people may keep the other 14a
per cent.
There are few items that we
will admit that we have sold too
high and those are ranch butter,
eggs and vegetables. We can ship
in from the nearby towns and sell
from 5 to 10 cents per pound less
than our local stock, but in order
to help out the ranchmen we have
kept the prices up on these articles.
Last spring we held the price up on
new potatoes to 3 cents per pound
until we found that the ranchmen
were selling them all over town at
Il cents.
This resolution also requested the
merchants to cut out all this need
less expense in conducting their
business. So far as our business is
concerned, we pay no high salaried
officials and do most of our own
own work, also our drayage. We
sold our horses and wagons and put
the same money into an auto de-
livery that will do more and better
service and cover twice the TERRITORY
in half the time.
Respectfully,
w @ KrNc

MANIAC GUIDES SHIP TO RUIN
When Captain Leaves Bark insane
Man Takes Command and
Sails Away.

Philadelphia. S Somewhere In the At
lantic ocean, mastered by. maniac
and manned by a frightened crew. the.
bark Ravensport is rushing
to destruction, according to story
told here by Captain Jansen OF the
steamship Admiral Schley. which ar
rived from Jamaica.
The Ravensport was bound from
Dunhrk, Scotland, to q gulf port. On
the voyage giant Swede sailor be-
came insane and cut and slashed the
crew at will. He was captured and
confined after two Of the crew had
been seriously injured. Captain Duus.
master Of the ship. put OF in small
boat for Buff bay to get medical aid.
Just as the yawl reached shore the
maniac broke loose and commanded
the crew to raise anchor. When they
were unable to do 30 he ordered the
chain broken. When Captain Duus
saw his ship sailing away he started
in pursuit in the small boat. A chase
OF ten miles wore out the men who
were rowing and they were forced to
turn back. Captain Duus believes that
the maniac is speeding the ship to
destruction on the shores Of Cuba
The Ravensport is a steel bark OF
1,642 gross tons and is owned by.

WOMEN MEMS PEER

The premier asserted that ''the in
terests of women had not been unduly
neglected by the house of commons
and Miss Royden asked him what de-
gree Of neglect was "due?" She point
ed out one instance after another
where the interests OF men has been
protected and those Of women ig-
nored; declared that .even good gov
eminent is no substitute for self-gov-
eminent and that women had be-
come politically conscious and never
would be sent to sleep again.
& There Is but one way of finding out
what the people think, said the prime
minister, "and that is through the
representatives they send to parlia-
ment.'' :sss y.
True" answered Miss Robertson,
"and there has been "a majority
for women suffrage In the house of
commons for Is years."
There is only one course open to
the suffragist and that IL to prevent
the return of the liberal party to pow
er at the next general election. Eng
lish women are trained in politics and
II the suffragists would lay aside all
minor difference and concentrate on
this one object, they could accomplish
it. The Women's Liberal federation.
an annex of the liberal party, with q
Of over 100000, could do
this unaided. It would mean, of course.
the retirement from Office OF the men
Of their own families and the defeat
OF the party to which shey always have
belonged, but many of them are pro
pared to make this sacrifice. It seems
to be accepted on every hand that the
conservative party when 1t comes into
power again will grant some measure
OF suffrage to women. This will not
be done as a matter OF principle, but
because it will not wish to subject
itself to the experience OF the liberal
party at the hands Of women, and be-
cause the sentiment OF the country is
SO obviously in favor Of their en-
nchisement.

LIKE CLIMATE OF CALIFORNIA
Th&t Of Palestine Greatly Resembles
the "GoldeA State" Recent Inves-
LEGATIONS Have Shown.

Recent investigations of Palestine
by the Jewish agricultural experiment
station at Haifa show so many SINH
lsrities between its climate and soil
and that Of our, own state Of Cali
fornia that 1t Is believed most Of tho
types of vegetation can be successfully
tTansplanted to our Pacific coast.
There are 5000 listed species which
grow wild In Palestine, and almost the
same number have been classified by
botanists in California.
Both countries have warm and
dry season that are similar; the same
diversity OF soil and vegetation within
small area mountains that run up
and arid regions. Even the shores Of
the Dead sea are similar to the edges
Of the famous Death valley of Cali
fornia. S5a
For these reasons the bureau of
plant industry, through cooperation
with the agricultural station at Haifa,
is carrying on the work OF transplant
ing Palestine to California. 81 Not
literally, OF course, but through the
introduction of many Of the strange
plants that are found nowhere else
than in Palestine. T..
Many Of the Palestine fruits are
already growing in California, such as
the olive, pomegranate. fig. date.
orange and apricot. The Jaffa orange
is said to be one Of the largest grown.
and it ia now being introduced in Cali
fornia TO rival her famous navel
oranges. s
The carob-tree or "sweet-pod," called
"St. Johns bread" is also to be intro
sduced into our arid regions. This 10
one Of Palestine's greatest forage
plants. The tree grows to a height Of
rs feet and often yields 450 pounds Of
forage per tree. The Palestine salt
bush" that furnishes so much food to
the camels and sheep Of the Holy
Land is another plant that thrives on
the alkaline soils Of our west.
A, species of lotus Is being intro
duced to prevent fields from being
overwhelmed by the shifting sands Of
dunes. This plant is enc Of the best
found in Palestine for fixing the shift
Ing sand. The plant grows to height
Of SIX feet, and sends out suckers, to
form: small clumps OF new parent
plants. It completely binds the sand
together and prevents it shifting with
the wind. This lotus produces q
palatable fruit which the Arabs in the
valley OF the Jordan highly prize as
food.--Harper's Weekly.
