BURGLAR ENTERS DRUG STORE
Visits Colsnbia Pharmacy d Early Mor.ing and
is isSurprised By Hotel Clerk

Because he paid an early MORN
ing call to the Columbia Phar-
macy shortly after daylight Mon
day morning, John Aron is now
occupying a berth in the county
Jail at Prosser and will answer
to a charge of burglary at the
next term of superior court. 1t
wasn't drugs but money that
Aron was after. He entered the
store by breaking a pane of glass
in a rear window. His efforts
were unrewarded as he was
caught in the act by Night Clerk
Hunt of the Commercial Hotel.
Just about daylight Aron came
to the hotel and asked Hunt for
some matches. A snort time af.

the city was agreeable to moving
the fire hydrant near the mill so
as to furnish fire protection to
the Standard Oil compa ny S
plant, provided the city was not
asked to stand any of the cost of
the change. The expense of
making the extension is estimat-
ed at about $500.
City Attorney C. L. Holcomb
reported he was Of the opinion
that the city had no authority to
grant the o. w. r. & N. company
permission to use the tracks
along Front street for spotting
fruit cars. The right to use the
street had been obtained. he
said, by condemnation proceed
ings against the abutting proper
ty owners with the understand
ing that the second track was to be
used only as a passing track, and
the city had no right to abrogate
this agreement as between the
railroad company and the. pro-
perty owners.

TO BUILD STORAGE
HOUSE AT z|LLAH
Officials Of Two Railroads Visit
Proposed Site to Make Track
age Arrangements

President J. D. Farrell of the
O. w. r. & N. passed through
Kennewick yesterday evening on
a special train enroute to Portland
from North Yakima. Mr.. Far
rell, in company with President
George T. Reid. of the North
Yakima & Valley Railroad and
vice president of the N. P, had
spent the day in the Yakima Val
ley.
The purpose of their visit, ac-
cording to statements made by
Mr.. Farrell, was only in connec-
ton with the arrangement Of
trackage connections for the new
cold storage warehouse of the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers As
sociation at Zillah, Zillah having
been definitely determined upon
at a meeting the executive board
in North Yakima Saturday.
THE Fruitgrowers' association
is doing good work;is taking hold
of a big problem in the right
spirit, and I am sure will prove of
benefit to the growers, said Mr..
Farrell. The building of this
warehouse at Zillah is a step in
the right direction, and while so
carloads will not make much of a
hole in an 5000 carload crop it will
help, and with other warehouses
going up, and, / understand,
more planned for the future, the
effect is certain, it seems to me,
to be a steadying of the market.
1t is always a bad plan to have to
sell your product, whether it is
fruit or grain or anything else, in
a hurry, and a good thing to be
able to hold it and be able to name
the price yourself. Another mat
ter we are looking into, as we
travel, is the prospective demand
for cars this fall. With big crops
everywhere, it is going to be i'm
possible to move it all within a
few weeks, and the warehousing
here is our interest as we'll as the
growers For that reason the
companies are glad to give such
help as they can in making trans
portation to and from the ware
houses convenient and cheap"

PATERSON ORCHARDS
PLEASANT SURPRISE
Manager Of Fruit Growers Asso-
citation Says There Will be Good
Crop Down the Valley

Responding to an invitation
from the fruit growers at Pater-
son, H. w. Desgranges, manager
of the Kennewick- -Richland Dis
trict Fruit Growers Association,
and C.L. Hamilton, field manager
of the Yakima Valley Fruit Grow
ers' Association. went to Pater-
son last Monday.
II was agreeably surprised at
the showing at Paterson" said
Mr.. Desgranges. It is a much
larger district and further ad-
vanced than I had thought. We
found that there would be some
eight carloads of pears, six of
peaches, two Of apples, some
small fruit and about a, 600 crates
of strawberries and tomatoes.
The orchards are we'll kept and
are very thrifty. They are but
five years old, just coming into
good bearing and promise that
Paterson will be a prominent
fruit shipping point in a few
years. We found the growers
anxious to learn all about the
methods of the Association. We
spent but five hours at Paterson,
but when we came away we
brought with US the application
of every grower in the district.
They will ship through the local
district here this year but plan
to. organize a local at Paterson
another year.
I'VE went by auto over the
Horse Heaven hills and made
the run of 80 miles in two hours
and forty minutes. The wheat
fields in the Horse Heaven are
looking exceptionally good. They
have had plenty of moisture and
the farmers are all hopeful for a
full crop"
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1914-04-23

terward Hunt came out of the
hotel and saw Aron peeking
around the corner of the Column
bia Pharmacy building. Later
while walking up the opposite
side Of the street Hunt saw the
man behind the counter in the
drug store. He immedia t ely.
went in search of Night Patrol
man j. B. Hayden who appre-
hended the culprit at the o. w.
R. & N. depot. Upon instruc-
tions from County Attorney Hal
H. Cole, the man was sent to Jail
at Prosser.
The burglar attempted to pry
open the cash drawer with a
chisel but was evidently surprised
by Hunt and left without taking
either money or goods from the
store.

SOME GRASS

The Kennewick Fruit Exchange
has on display in the Courier-Re-
porter window seven stalks of
asparagus which tip the scales at
one pound and ten ounces. The
asparagus was grown by w. 81.

Mexican Charge d'Affaires Given
His Passports at American
Capital Today
REBELS MAY BACK HUERTA
Reported That Meziea. ceastitutisaalists and
Fsdsrals Have Joined Fsrees Against
Anerieaas at Tanpies

That the rumor current on the
streets this afternoon to the eff
feet that Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the American charge at Mexico
city, had been slain, was without
foundation was determined by
telephone communication with
the Walla Walla Evening Bulle-
tin. A similar rumor had been
received in Walla Walla but con-
firmation was lacking in the au-
thentic telegraphic news.
According to authentic press
reports the Mexican situation up
until this afternoon was not ma
terially changed from yesterday.
The principal developments were
the handing Of his passports to
the Mexican charge at Washing
ton in return for the action of
Huerta in delivering passports
to Charge O'Shaughnessy; the
restoration Of the embargo on
the shipment of munitions of war
into Mexico and the advance of
American troops eight miles in
land toward Mexico City from
Vera Cruz.
It is reported that negotiations
have been opened between the
constitutionalist leader, General
Carranza, and President Huerta,
looking to a union Of the consti-
tutionalist and federal forces to
oppose the hostilities of the
United States. Today's press
dispatches bring the information
that a union of the two warning
factions has already been accom-
plished at Tampico.
The American forces COM
pleted the occupation of Vera
Cruz yesterday with a loss of
twelve bluejackets and marines
killed and fifty wounded, and
after a portion of the town had
been shelled by the fire of the
five and six-inch guns of the
Prairie, Chester and San Fran
cisco.
The warning note sent to Pres
ident Wilson yesterday by Cen
eral Carranza, saying that he re-
garded the seizure of Vera Cruz
By the American naval forces as
an act Of hostility to the Mexican
nation, rendered the crisis grave,
while the handing of the pass
ports to the American and Mex
lean charges is believed to fore
cast a formal declaration Of war
between the two nations.

Valleys Total Strawberry Crop Will
Not Be Materially Reduced
By Cold Weather
TREE FRUIT IS NOT HURT
Unprotected Blossoms Killed Which Will Cause
LuIl in Shipments After Ripenins
Season Opens

When Tuesday morning dawned
with the smoke of numerous
smudge pots overhanging the
valley, gloom of considerable
density prevaded alike the town
and the country but as the sun
came out, the day wore on and
the week progressed, the world
began to look brighter, until it
is now apparent that the damage
from Monday nights frost is not
as serious as was at first thought.
According to County Agricul-
turist Lee M. Lampson there was
little or no loss to tree fruit and
the damage to the Strawberries
ranges from 80 per cent of the
blossoms in some patches to moth
ing in others.
mo, the berry crop isn't hurt
nearly as badly as some people
would have you believe. Some
growers are scared worse than
they are hurt, +" said H. w. Des-
oranges, Manager of the Kenne-
wick -Richland Fruit Growers As
sociation, who, in company with
C. L. Hamilton, field manager Of
the Yakima Valley Fruit Grow
ers' Association, has made a
thorough investigation both here
and at Richland. 1T is true
