OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHoUrEAU COUNT,

FUGITIVE HUSBAND LAW

The news dispatches the other day
announced the indictment by the fed.
eral grand jury in Washington of a
score of fugitive husbands who had
lightly thrown off the yoke" Of OBJ
legation and responsibility they as
sumed when they entered into the
marriage contract. Steps were taken
to bring back for trial all these fit
ting benedicts, one Of whom vas To-
Gated in far-off Hawaii. The law
which authorized this action is in ad.
mirable contrast to the law placed
upon the Mann white slave act ~
those who contend that interstate i'm
morality Is a mere ~"cscapade" when
the feature of commerc :alization doe. .
not enter into it.
From the broad viewpoint of sound
public policy it is decidedly advisable
to punish both forms of INN orality
the desertion of a family by a IS
banl who throws upol the shoulders
of the wife the burden of support of
herself and children, and the man
who takes a woman from one state
to another for immoral purposes, with
or without the feature of commercial
ization. The law that takes this wise
and wide view of the situation is
worthy Of extension, says the Kansas
City Journal. It ought to be adopted
by every state in the union, to the
end that ne state should become the
refuge Of any man who evades the
Ay0YN0Vt0I dsyf{0o 1{<01nC{n
among which must surely be placed
the obligation of being a good father
and a good husband. The man who
breaks a contract and thereby de-.
frauds another out Of money or prop
erty can be seized in one state and
taken back to the state in which the
crime was committed. But the great
81 crime of violating the solemn con
tract of marriage, the moral law and
all the duties of a husband, father
and good citizen, is not regarded as
so serious in the eyes of the law as
1t now exists.
A fugitive husband law commends
itself to the sense OF justice of al
right-thinking citizens. Such laws
have found their way upon the statute
books of many states, and they have
been found to work real wonders in
changing the views of elusive hus.
bands. When the latter could shuttle
off their responsibilities and seek new
pastures with impunity, leaving their
families to the charity of the commu.
nifty or the help of relatives, the mat.
ter did not appear to be particularly
important. 1t was hardly an "esca'
pade." But when the prison doors
opened to receive such husbands, they
and other prospective fugitives took a
second look at the situation. The FIJI
gitive husband is a coward at heart
morally and physically, and there is
nothing the coward fears more than
punishment. The law is appearing
more and more frequently in the
character of the woman's defender
and there is no good citizen who car
deny that that is the character ir
which it should appear.

shearing gang was transferred to
the camps near Kiona where they
are at work this week.
The clip from the bands sheared
at this place is reported to have

spring, firms being represented here
in competition that have not visited
this valley for several years, accord

in person the first of the week to

from this point. The prices re-
ceived are better than were antici-

A SAD BEREAVEMENT

Mrs. Roy Washburn died at her
home in Section 7 at 4:3Oyesterday
afternoon. Her death was the result
of a complication of several diseases
all of which had come upon her in
the space of three months, as up to
the first of the year she had been in
robust health. Two weeks ago she
was brought home from a Walla
Walla hospital, where she had been
for several weeks, and it was realized
at the time of her return that the
chances for her recovery were few.
Mrs. Washburn's maiden name
was Mary Bier. She was born at
Jansan. Nebr., Sept. 1S, 1888, and
was married May 13, 1918. Besides
her husband there are left to mourn
her loss, five brothers, Henry and
Alex of this place, Philip of Walla
Walla. Fred of Seattle and David
who lives in Colorado; also two
sisters, Mrs. Meyer and Mrs. Chris
man, residing in Nebraska.
The funeral will be held at two
O'Clock tomorrow from the resi-
dence. The many friends unite in
sympathizing deeply with the young
husband and the relatives in their
great bereavement.

APRIL z SET AS
CLEANUP DAY
All Premises to be Made Spic
and Span on that Date---
City will Help

Thursday, April =, has been
named as Cleanup Day, and all
good citizens are hereby urged to
get busy between now and that date
and get all rubbish piled up near
the alleys where it will be handy
for the garbage wagons which will
be operated at the city's expense
that day. The tin cans and other
garbage which has collected, as such
things will, during the winter will
all be removed Systematically, street
by street, throughout the sewer dis
trict. All property owners who
fail to clean up and prepare for the
town drays will be required to bury,
burn or cart away the rubbish at
their own expense later on.
Cleanup Day has been announced
for two reasons. One is for the
purpose of making Kennewick a
neat-appearing community and the
other is to get an early swat at the
festive fly whose buzzing is already
heard in the land. Either should
be an incentive for every house.
holder to get busy with his rake and
shovel.
Last year Cleanup Day was little
more than farce, but little con-
certed attention being paid to the
Mayors proclamation. This year
it is going to be different story,
says Health Officer Crosby. Not
only will general observance of the
cleanup order be expected, but the
work will not be allowed to stop at
that-the premises have got to be
kept clean all summer. Systematic
inspections will be made by the
health board and every sanitary
regulation prescribed by city or.
dinances will be enforced, particu-
larly in the matter of disposing of
stable refuse and garbage. Atten-
ton is hereby called to the notices
by the health board printed else
where in this paper. The board
will have regular meetings twice each
month at the Commercial Club
rooms, on the second and fourth
Fridays at which times any person
desiring to present any questions or
offer any suggestions along the
lines of a more healthful commun-
ity will gladly be heard.

ASSESSORS IN FIELD

County Assessor John Severyns
has appointed his deputies and the
active work of appraising the real
and personal property of Benton
county is now under way. In this
community the jobs have been given
to Grant A. Stuart, who will assess
the city realty; Fred Watson, who
is appraising the city personal prop
erty and A. c. Speigleberg who is
looking after the country personal
list. Other deputies in this end OF
the county are H. S. Hughes, Fin
lev and Hover; Ira Hartman, Kiona
and J. w. Thompson, Richland; !;
M. V. Heberlein, Horse Heaven !;
G.. n. McCuloch, Expansion and
Patterson and William Primer,
Carley.
The above deputies are to appraise
the town realty and peasonal pro-
perty only, the work of assessing
all the country realty having been
placed in the hands os A. c. Jones
of Prosser and Manley B. Haynes
of Hanford. This departure from
the system of previous years is for
the purpose Of securing a more
eouable appraisement and it should
work out we'll, as two deputies OF
sound judgment should be able to
return a more evenly balanced list
of Valuations than was possible when
the work was left to the judgment
of all the district deputies.

CONTEMPLATE BIG
STORAGE PLANT HERE
Fruit Growers Association Would Build
Distributing Warehouse and Cooling
Plant at This Point

The building of huge cold stor-
age warehouse at Kennewick is an.
nounced as being planned by the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers As
sociation, though it is not likely
that the erection of the plant will
be attempted until next year. The
K ennewick warehouse, from which
the fruit may be moved either east
ward by rail or to Portland by boat,
will become necessity. in the judg-
ment of the association, with the
opening of the Columbia to naviga-
tion and the completion of the Pan
anna canal. With the opening OF
these important trade gateways,
Yakima Valley fruit will be given a
cheap mode of distribution not only
to the west coast and the Orient but
to seaboard points on the east coast
and Europe.
The contemplated cooling and
storage plant at this point is the
third step in the plan of providing
ample cold storage facilities for the
associations products in this valley.
The first step was taken last year
when association members secured
the Bussell plant at Prosser. This
plant has capacity of 200 carloads
and there is ample space for en-.
largement. Preceding equipment
was added and the first seasons re-
suits proved the wisdom of the un.
dertaking.
Now it is announced from North
Yakima that the association has
secured the funds necessary to build
at Zillah this spring cold storage
plant with a capacity of 500 car.
loads. At a public meeting last
week Zillah citizens agreed to donate
the site. The investment will be
about $4,000.

Wenatchee men who met Yaki-
ma men in Spokane few days ago
asked about the peach prospects
here and said that in Wenatchee it
was reported that all of the peach
buds had been frozen, or were about
to be-he had forgotten which it
was; but there were not going to
be any Yakima peaches this year
anyway, says the Republic.
Yakima peach growers are little
concerned about the crop prospects
here and less about those in Wen
atchee, butwatch eagerly for reports
from eastern districts. According
to these, New York will not have
more than 25 per cent crop and
Texas less than half crop. From
the Fruit Trade Journal of New
York of March Z, the following ex-
tracts are taken:
