should be paid off by means of
bonds and the city had no au-
thority by law to pay off any
warrants issued after June 1
while older warrants were still
outstanding. So the city exper-
fenced the sensation of having
money it couldn't expend.
Now that the bonds have been
disposed of, not only the war
rants issued prior to June 1, but
practically all Of the outstanding
warrants can be retired. City
Treasurer j. L. Johnson is this
week issuing a call for all war
rants up to August 81 and with
in another month, or as soon as
the county treasurer RENTS the
second half of the 1914 taxes, all
warrants can be retired and the
city's business placed upon a
cash basis.

CASE DISMISSED

Creston Brown, son of Capt.
Brown, of the Hanford Flyer,
was acquitted of a charge of vio-
lating the game laws, in Justice
Staser's court Tuesday after
noon. Young Brown was accused
of shooting ducks on the Colum-
bia river, from the Flyer. The
information filed by County
Game Warden O'Connell recited
that the shooting was done about
three miles above Richland on
November 9. Several witnesses
testified that they heard the
shots, saw the ducks fall and
the Flyer alter her course to pick
up the game. Passengers on the
boat that day testified that no
shots had been fired and that de-
fendant had no gun. The pros
ecution was conducted by Pros
ecuting Attorney Hal H. Cole
while Gerard Rysick handled the
defense.

BERRY GROWERS
TO MEET MONDAY
To- Consider Crate Question
Basket Factory will Not
Operate This Year

Now that the frost is on the
pumpkin and the corn is in the
shock, the strawberry growers of
the valley have turned their at
tention to plans for harvesting
and marketing next years crop.
Last year at this time the ques-
tion of the size of crate was up
for consideration; this year the
question is, where are the grow
ers going to buy their crates?
It is understood that Coats &
Marks will not operate their bas-
ket factory here next. season,
which means that berry crates
will have to be shipped in. For
the purpose Of discussing plans
for purchasing crates to the best
advantage a meeting of all straw
berry growers, regardless of
their marketing affiliations, has
been called by Manager w. r.
Crawford, of the Fruit Exchange,
for Monday, November 80, at 2
o'clock p. m., in the Commercial
club rooms.
In speaking of the reasons for
the call, Mr.. Crawford pointed
out that, owing to bulk, it was
not practical to ship in set-up
crates, while on the other hand
the collapsible hallocks had not
given satisfaction. In order to
overcome both of these undesir-
able features, he has devised a
plan which he believes can be
adopted with profit to the grow
ers.
Mr.. Crawford emphasized the
fact that the meeting is not in
tended for the Exchange shippers
alone, but for all berry growers
of the valley.

Kennewick's First Hog Excur-
sion is Success Down to
the Smallest Detail
THIRTEEN AUTOS HAUL
CROWD TO HOG RANCHES
Byron Hunter and Prof. Hyslop Pro-
pound Proper Methods of
Swine Raising

If there was anything lacking
to make Kennewick's first hog
excursion an unqualified success,
none of the seventy-five men
who took the trip Tuesday, knew
what it was. No detail was
lacking, even to the roast pork
and apple sauce for lunch. The
day was ideal, the roads (for
Kenewick roads) were good, the
attendance was excellent, the in
terest marked, and even the
hogs were happy.
The excursion was admirably
planned by County Agricultural
ist Lee M. Lampson and was as
admirably carried out under his
direction. 1t was an education
al treat and a joy ride all in one.
The seats in the automobiles,
with few exceptions, were occu-
pied by men who were not out
for a days recreation but for
the purpose of learning more
about hogs and the hog industry.
AT every stop talks were made
by Byron Hunter, of the u. S.
department of agriculture, Prof.
Hyslop, of the animal husbandry
department of the state college,
and Mr.. Lampson. These talks
were of thoroughly practical
nature and were thoroughly alb
sorbed by the men who heard
them. Five farms, where fully.
one thousand hogs were kept,
were visited and on no two farms
were exactly the same methods
being followed. This gave the
instructors an excellent oppor-
tunity to commend the good
features and criticize the bad,
and to make specific and practi-
cal suggestions.
In the forenoon the farms of
HI. P. Miller and j. B. Clements,
near Richland, were visited.
Mr.. Miller raises Duroc-Jerseys
and has about 120 head. Here
Prof. Hyslop gave an interesting
talk on the Duroc-Jersey type
and illustrated his points by Sc
lecting from young herd, three
gifts which Mr.. Miller will keep
for breeding purposes. Of the
five breeders visited, Mr.. Miller
is the only one who runs his hogs
in the orchard. He has pastnr-,
ed his herd between the trees
throughout the summer and has
done so without injury to any
of the trees. Mr.. Miller's
method of feeding furnished an
other interesting feature. He
is feeding rolled barley and
chopped alfalfa-90 pounds of al
falfa to 210 pounds of barley.
The feed is mixed and cooked in
a large vat. Mr.. Hunter ques-
toned the advisibility of cooking
the feed and referred the farm
ers to Prof. Henry's book.
Feeds and Feeding" for the rel
ative value of cooked and raw
feeds.
The stop at the Clements
ranch was made for the purpose
of showing the farmers what
not to do. Last September Mr..
Clements purchased a number
of spring pigs which had been
pastured on alfalfa and given
no grain. He now has them

At Special Meeting Council Close
Deal with Keeler Brothers
of Denver
OLD WARRANTS CALLED
FOR PAYMENT AT ONCE
Bonds to Bear Five and Half Per
Cent Interest, But City Pays
Denver Firm $3.50

The city's $4,000 worth of
funding bonds have been sold.
The money is in the bank. The
city treasurer has called in all
outstanding warrants issued be-
fore August 81 and the world
looks brighter to the mayor and
the city council. The sale was
made at a special meeting of the
city council Monday morning
and the deal was made through
Keller Brothers of Denver, who
contracted for the purchase of
the bonds last spring before the
election was held.
III. Keeler, one of the brothers,
was present at the meeting. He
explained that at the time they
solicited the purchase of the
bonds they intended to place the
issue with a New York insurance
company. While the issue was
being perfected the European
war broke out, the bonds market
slumped, and the deal with the
New York buyers was off. Ac-
cording to the original agree
ment Keeler Brothers were to
take the bonds at 511a and the
city was to pay them 1925 for
printing and other preliminary
expenses. Under the terms of
the sale which was closed up
Monday the bonds are taken at
51a but the city pays Keller
Brothers $1O55 in addition to the
1925. With this premium fig
ured as interest, the bonds are
still within the six per cent limit
fixed by the bonding ordinance
and the state law, and the city
will be saved two per cent on it's
Indebtedness.
AS there seemed to be consid-
cradle doubt as to whether or not
the city could hold Keeler Broth
ers to their first agreement, the
city fathers considered that
Mondays sale was the best way
out of the difficulty.
In way, the bond PROPOSE
tion had led the council into a
rather perplexing situation.
Last March when the state ac-
countant checked up the city's
finances he found a heavy out
standing warrant Indebtedness
which would be impossible of
liquidation for many years to
come because of the fixed
charges for light and water in
terest on the sewer bonds, and
other necessary operating ex-
penses. He, therefore, recon-
mended to the council that a
bonding election be called and
the warrants retired. The elect
ion was held June 9 and the bond
issue was authorized by the peo-
pie.
The war and the delay placed
the city in the rather peculiar
position of accumulating funds
which it could not disburse. The
bonding ordinance provided that
the money obtained from the
sale of the bonds must be used
in retiring the $50 warrants is
sued prior to June 1. AS the
time dragged on money began to
accumulate in the current ex-
pense fund but it could not be
used in paying off any warrants,
because the ordinance provided
that all warrants prior to June 1
