TO PROTEST AGAINST
RAILROADS. STEAMERS
Commercial Organizations of Colum-
bia Valley will Oppose Applica-
tion of s., p. & S. Ry. Co.

Kennewick will be represented
at the interstate commerce
hearing in Portland by M. w.
Mattecheck. The commercial
club at the weekly luncheon yes
terday voted to send a delegate
to join with representatives Of
other Columbia river towns in
entering a protest against the;
operation Of boats on the river
by the S. P. & S. Railway COM
pany. Mr.. Mattecheck was
chosen at a meeting of the gov
erning board yesterday evening:
The Panama canal act provided
that the. operation Of railroad
owned boats should cease July 1
of this year. The S. p. & S.
have asked for more time in
which to discontinue their steam
er service This application is to
be opposed on the grounds that
the operation of the railroad
steamers stiles rail and water
competition and stands in the
way of the organization Of an in
dependent line.
M. M. Moulton; who repre-
sented the club at a meeting in
Portland last Thursday evening.
was out of the city and no report
of his trip was given to the club.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of organizing an effort
to secure the passages of the ma
tional rivers and harbors bill now
pending in congress. After adj
opting some strong resolutions to
be sent to the western congress-
men, the meeting voted to send
Jos. N. Teal, of Portland, to
Washington, d. C. to use his ut
most endeavors to get the bill
through.
| As the result of the delay in
congress work on the Cello canal
has been shut down ever since
last Friday and work on other
Columbia projects will be sus.
spended within a short time un,
less the appropriations become

PEAR CROP CLOSE TO
THIRTY FULL CAR LOADS
Bartletts Overrun Original Estimate
Association will Handle about
Sixteen Carloads

The Northwest 8 nrSC StralgnC
carload of the 1914 Elberta peach
crop will be shipped out tomor-
row by the Fruit Exchange. The
peaches will come from the Owen
Jones and Hamburg orchards on
the Highlands and will mark the
beginning of the rush in the
peach shipping season. 1t will
be fully ten days or two weeks
before the Yakima Elbertas start
moving. The exchange is OPEN
ing the market at 35 cents a box
to the grower. This price is
lower than last years opening
quotations but in view of a gen.
eral lower trend of the markets,
is apparently satisfactory to the
orchardists.
The exchange had out its first
grapes today and will send out
its first full car Of watermelons
tomorrow. The melons will be
loaded by Harry Yamagama from
his patch on the Alex Miller place
on the Highlands. The melons,
although grown on raw land, are
Of the finest quality as are also
the cantaloupes which Mr.. Yama-
gama has been marketing from
the same tract during the week.
The big end of the Bartlett
pear crop will have moved out by
the last of the week. The total
shipments handled by the asso-
citation and the exchange will be
about 80 carloads which is far in
excess Of earlier estimates.
In speaking of the pear crop,
Manager H. w. Desgranges, OF
the Fruitgrowers' association
said: 'The crop has far ex
ceeded our original estimate o.
1000 boxes. To date we have
shipped over 1000 boxes or l.
carloads and there are about 1OO'
more boxes to come yet. Thi
increase in the number of boxe
handled by the association is no
due as much to error in our esti
mate, although that has overrul
some, as to the large increase il

three weeks. It may be inter
