ANTWERP-A city of Belgium re-
garded as it's principal fortified strong
hold. Although sixty miles from the
sea it is still one of the greatest sea-
ports of Europe. because the broad and
deep Schelde river gives it an excellent
outlet. It's population is almost entire
ly Flemish. Under Emperor Charles V
it is said to have been the most popu-
lous city of continental Europe At the
middle of the sixteenth century it had
population estimated at 125,000. The
great fairs held then attracted the
merchants of the civilized world. Under
the Spanish regime it declined. and in
twenty years fell to a population of 55,-
900. The treaty of Westphalia closed
the Schelde to seagong vessels, and it
was not reopened until the French did
so in 1894. Napoleon undertook re-
vivify the city, but it was surrendered
to the English in 1914. 1t began to
grow again. but was almost ruined in
the military operations of 1880. md
thereafter. Netherlands retained the
right to levy navigation dues on the
Schelde, which laid a heavy hand on
Antwerp until 1868. when it was COM
muted by the payment of about $1,000
900. The city and river are defended
by a. number of advanced fortresses and
by ramparts eight miles long. Part of

founded, and was fortified by Vauban

THIRD AGENCY
FOR MARKETING
The Pacific Fruit & Produce Co.
Likely to Establish Local
Branch-Big Concern

1t is probable that by the time the
shipping season opens Kennewick
will be supplied with third ware
house for the marketing of the val
ley's products. Dick Rist, repre-
senting the Pacific Fruit & Produce
Co., was in town last week looking
over the field and practically COM
pleted arrangements whereby his
company will establish Kennewick
branch.
The Pacific Fruit & Produce peo-
pie are one of the Vests largest
produce firms, having houses in
all the important fruit districts on
the Pacific coast. Their main Wash.
ington office is at Tacoma. Though
they are both buyers and distribu-
tors, it is stated that the Kenne-
wick Office will be concerned only
with the buying end of the business.
It is likely that their Office and
warehouse will be blished in the
old quarters of the Fruit & Produce
Co., in the east half of the building
occupied by the basket factory.
Officers of the company are ex-
pected in Kennewick the latter part
of this week to conclude arrange
ments for opening the local branch.

K. P. MINSTREL SHOW
PLEASES LARGE CROWD
Singing and Specialties are Good-Local
Lodge Nets Good Sum from Their
Entertainment

The Knights of Pythias fully lived
up to their past regulations as good
entertainers when they gave their
second minstrel show last night at
the Princess Theatre before a packed
house. Both the solo singing and
the choruses were above the average
for local talent entertainment, the
Jokes were comparatively fresh, and
the specialties in the second part
were pleasing, considering that a
majority of the performers were
viewing the footlights from the rear
for the first time.
Solos were sung by F. H. Krug,
VIM. Gleichman, J. J. Long, R. H.
Briggs, w. B. Wuth, A. C. Spiegle-
berg, D. E. Stull and DR.. w. J.
Rhynsburger. The Highland male
quartet and the Commercial Club
quartet were as pleasing as ever in
their numbers. Among the special
ties were a monologue by A. R.
Gardner, cornet duo by F. L. Young
and Jas. A. Van Norsdall, an ex-
hibition of aesthetic tangoing by the
Johnson boys, Harry Munday as
Uncle Josh,' ''Old Black Joe' in
costume by J. J. Long, saxaphone
solo by F. L. Young, a Hebrew skit
by W. B. : Wuth, and a bagpipe
solo, by Jimmy Grieves who also
did the Highland fling in costume.
A. r. Gardner officiated as inter-
locutor and w. B. Wuth, CT. Irwin,
D. E. Stull and VIM. Gleichman
were end men.
The show was put on under the
direction of Jas. A. Van Norsdall
and the company was assisted by an
orchestra of six pieces.
There was $50 taken in from the
sale of tickets.

CHIEF COPELAND PICKS
UPF|FTY-DOLLAR REWARD
Returns Deserter to Battleship Oregon,
Stationed at Bremerton-
Prisoner was Willing

City Marshal c. E. Copeland was
in Seattle Saturday and Sunday
having made the trip for the puf-
pose of returning E. J. Hanson, a
young Jack Tar who, firing of the
quiet life on the old battleship
Oregon, stationed at Bremerton,
had deserted a few days previously.
Hanson got shore leave on the fifth
and under the influence of Old John
Barleycorn decided that he had
had enough of swabbing decks and
polishing brasswork. He got as far
as Kennewick before his month g
wages gave out.
The night Hanson struck town
the S. R. O.. sign was out at the
city Jail SO Copeland "staked" the
destitute one to bed at one of the
lodging houses. The next day, out
of gratitude, Hanson told the chief
that he (Hanson) was a deserter
from the navy and that there was
$50 waiting for the man who brought
him back. He also said that if he
was returned before the 18th he
would get off easily but if he was
away longer he would get term in
the pen'' when caught.
Mr.. Copeland Immediately wired
to Bremerton and got a reply con-
firming the deserter's statement.
Starting Friday evening, he put his
man back aboard ship, got the re-
ward and also has the satisfaction
of knowing that he saved the young
fellow prison sentence.
If Hanson is good until next
August he will have the honor of
being one of the crew to take the
old Oregon" back around the Horn
to the Atlantic and thence to head
the Atlantic fleet, in 1915, on the
trip through the canal to visit the
San Francisco fair.

AGRICULTURAL
CLASSES BUSY
High School Boys Testing Soils
Planning for Com and
Tomato Contests

The Freshman class in agricul-
ture is doing some verv interesting
work in connection with their course
in soils and vegetable gardening.
One of the problems that is prov
ing of much interest as well as in
structive is an experiment being
conducted in the soils laboratory in
which large number of samples of
soils are being tested for the COM
parative amounts of available plant
foods. This not is chemical test of
soils, but a test based upon the re-
suits obtained by the actual grow
ing of plants in the soils. This is a
practical test that can be made by
any farmer and if any person is in
terested he may visit the soils lab
oratory where the work will be ex-
planned in detail.
Another interesting piece of work
that the class in agriculture is plan
ming is the growing of several thou
sand dry land alfalfa plants to be
taken to the Horse Heaven country
and transplanted where their value
for dry land forage crop will be
determined. F. P. Mcguire and
A. H. Wheaton are furnishing the
seed, which comes from Siberia.
The boys will grow the plants and
about the close of school holiday
for the boys interested in the work
may be declared when all hands will
take the young plants to the final
testing grounds.
The corn-growing contest is to be
one of the leading features Of the
school contest work in gardening
during the following season. A
number of enthusiastic business men
of the town have agreed to furnish
all the seed corn required for the
test and a large number of students
are contemplating entering the con-
test. AS yet no list of prizes has
been made out but it is expected
that it will be ready for publication
in about two weeks.
Another contest in which it ia
hoped that the local people as well
as the, students will enter, will be a
race to see who can produce the
20-pound crate of market
able tomatoes. 1t is hoped that a
prize of considerable value will be
offered for this, for early tomatoes
should be one of the leading pro-
ducts of the local district, and it is
hoped that in this contest it NAV
be determined how to grow toma-
toes most economically, as well as to
be able to set a date when Kenne-
wick tomatoes may be put on the
market.
The class in vegetable gardening
will also test several varieties of
sweet potatoes, the seed of which
will be secured in Indiana, Michi-
gan and Missouri. The boys will
grow the sprouts in the hot bed and
in this way learn the art of sweet
potato culture from the beginning.
The same boys will also grow a
lot of the Mexican variety of winter
casaba from which it is hoped that
it may be determined whether or
not this very edible melon can secure
q place on the markets for winter
use.
