TIME TO TREAT FOR SMUT

In treating oats for smut the best
practice is to wait until just before
seeding time The farmer will then bo
sure that his seed is free from the
spores 1t is true that some farmers
treat for smut earlier, in February or
early March. If treated earlier. 1t Is
hard to get the seed oats completely
dried out, and ii they are stored when
damp. the terminating power will be
damaged Some times oats which have
been treated are stored again in bins
or sacks where they may again be-
come infected with smut spores Smut
treatment just before planting is the
safest practice

ripe Strawberries. He brought his
first ripe ones to town last Satur-

Reports of ripe berries in many
patches are becoming numerous
and it will only be a few days un-
til the first crate will be rounded
up and shipped out.

MAN KILLS
HIS FORMER WIFE
Harry Favor Fires Three Fatal Shots
at Woman, Assists Victim to Bug
sy and Makes His Escape

Harry Favor, of Prosser, shot
and killed his divorced wife, Lu.
cile E. Schultz, about 7::3O last
Saturday evening. The tragedy,
which was the elimination of q
long series Of domestic troubles,
occurred two miles north of Pros
ser while Miss Schultz, with Miss
Edith Fordyce and Miss Iska
Wilcox, was driving to the home
of her parents Mr.. and Mrs. L. B.
Schultz. At q point near the
farm of j. D. Powell, Favor ap-
peared and stopped the rig by
seizing the horses bride. He
commanded his former wife to
get out of the buggy and accom-
pany him. Following her refus-
al he drew an automatic revolver
and fired three shots. two of
which passed through the wo-
mans left arm and pierced her
body. The wounded woman was
hurried to a hospital in Prosser
and died about eleven O'Clock the
same night.
After the shooting, Favor re-
mained on the scene and assisted
Mr.. Powell to get the wounded
woman into his buggy. He re-
Powell to take the re-
volver and kill him and then
struck off through the sagebrush
and up until this afternoon had
not been apprehended.
The day following the crime
blood hounds were brought from
Granger and succeeded in trailing
Favor to a water tank at Mabton
and the authorities are of the
opinion that he boarded a train
at this point. Yesterday a man
answering his description was ar
rested in Ellensburg but he has
notyet been identified as the slay-
er.

GETTING READY
FOR STRAWBERRIES
American Express Will Have Spec
ial Representative in Kennewick
During The Shipping Season

In order to facilitate the hand
ling of the Kennewick fruit crop
over their lines, the O-W. r. & N.
will, with the beginning of the
strawberry shipping season, in
augurate special service on the
Yakima branch. It is probable
that no change. in the present
time table will be necessary but
the east bound motor which ar
rives at Kennewick at 1920 p. m.
will be taken off and replaced
with a steam train carrying
through express cars for both
Spokane and Portland with main
line connections at Wallula.
The schedule is being worked
out by Carl Church, of Portland,
special representative of the
American Express company who
has been in Kennewick since the
first of the week. Mr.. Church
will establish temporary head
quarters here during the berry
season and personally superin-
tend the handling of shipments
for his company. I'VE are going
after the business this year and
we are going to give the shippers
said Mr.. Church yester-
terday. Under the schedule
we are working out the berries

the evening and be landed in
either Portland or Spokane at
seven o'clock the next morning."

take stock in the new corporation
at least to the amount of their
claims.
At meeting of number of
the patrons last Saturday after
noon this plan was unanimously
endorsed and a committee was
appointed to solicit stock SUBJ

time it was planned to meet
again Saturday of this week but
the committee will be unable to
complete its work and formulate
its report by that date and the
meeting has been postponed until

Burglars Enter Kjosness Mercan-

ing and patriotic desire to follow
Old Glory to victory over the dead
bodies of numerous Mexicans,
two unknown burglars entered
the store of Kjosness Mercantile
company last Friday night, equip
ped themselves with revolvers,
ammunition, razors, pock e
knives etc. and so far as is known
they may now be scrapping
the poems down across the bord-
er.
AS soon as the robbery was
discovered Saturday morning G.
A. Kjosness locked the doors,
excluded all customers and tele-
phoned to Walla Walla for blood
hounds. About two o'clock a
guard from the penitentiary and
City Patrolman Sam Carrithers
arrived with three dogs. The
hounds were put on the trail and
tracked the robbers through the
back door, up the alley and on up
Front street to Seventh, down
Seventh to the river, down the
river bank and across the bridge
to Pasco. At the N. P. depot in
Pasco they lost the trail and it is
the supposition that the robbers
caught an early morning train
and were probably miles away
by the time the dogs arrived.
Through Back Deer
The robbers entered the store
by boring "a holes with a brace
and bit around a panel in the
back door. They secured a few
stamps but no money although
they broke the lock to the strong
box on the inside Of the safe,
went through the cash register,
and rummaged the drawers of
the Office desk. Included in the
loot were three revolvers, several
boxes of cartridges. a number of
expensive pearl handle pocket
knives, five or six razors and
numerous other small articles.
Other than the trail followed
by the blood hounds, the burg
lars left absolutely no clue. The
police saw but one stranger on
The streets during the night to
whom suspicion might attach. |
This man was arrested the next
morning in a raid on the jungles
along the water front and on the
Islands between here and Pasco.
He was later released as there
were no circumstances whic h
pointed to his guilt.
1t is probable that the robbery
was committed between one and
Two O'Clock in the morning while

CONSIDER TAXPAYERS UNION
N. w. Mattecheck Will Submit Figures as Se-
cared During Visit To The County Seat
Monday Discussion to Follow

At a special meeting of the
Commercial club this evening the
taxation and good roads question
will be discussed and some def
mite action taken as to what ex-
tent the club wishes to cooperate
with the Taxpayers Union of
Prosser, in their efforts to cut
down the taxes in Benton county.
The report of the committee
named two weeks ago to compile
data as to the money in the diff
ferentroad funds and theamounts
that have been expended on roads
in the county as a whole and the
three road districts, will be SUBJ
mitted.
M. w. Mattecheck one MEM
Der of the committee went to
Prosser Monday and it is under
stood he will be able to make
comprehensive report this even
ing. Of Mr.. Mattecheck's visit

says:
County Auditor L. L. Lynn,
took Mr.. Mattecheck over every
foot Of built road in this vicinity,
and had his Office prepare a
statement from the records.
showing the amounts that have
been spent on the various roads
in the county. This statement
showed that of the money spent
on roads since 1909 the West end
has had about $12, 600 more than
the East end out of an approx
mate expenditure Of $37, 500 state
money and $115, 600 county mon
ey, considerably less than 40 per
cent. Of the money spent in
road building since the first of
the present year, the West end
has had $40, 999. .02, and the East
end has had $11, 034.45 a differ
ence in favor of the East end.
The farmers of the west end
have donated a great deal of
work on all of the roads built
here, and this has made it possi-
BILE to accomplish great deal
more with the money expended
than could have been done in all
Of the work had been paid out of
the public funds.
Mr.. Lynn told Mr.. Mattecheck
to go back home and see if they
were getting the same value for
the money they are spending for
road building that we are here.
The people Of the West side have
earned how to build roads and
AN now make the most of the
money expended"

COLUMBIA VALLEY
LEAGUE IS OFF
Highlanders Fail to See the Fun and
Withdraw Congregational
Lads Beat Hanford

The season for the Columbia
Valley Baseball League is over.
The Highland team has with
drawn from the league and all
bets have been officially declared
off. The Highlanders by the way.
did not quit because they were
cutters, but because they did not
feel that the interest the public
was showing in the league pro-
position was sufficient to justify
the expenditure of purchasing
suits and maintaining a team. It
is thought that by combining the
Highland and the Kennewick
playing squads, one team can be
organized and games scheduled
with other towns and more GIN
ger put into the local baseball sit
uation.
The third game of the league
series was played Sunday with
Richland defeating Finley at
Richland by a score of II to z.
The game between the Highlands
and KenDewick on the local dia-
mond gave promise of being a
lively contest but on account of
the rain was called in the second
inning with the score board read
ing two to two.
cssgss Wn
The troubles of the league are
not bothering the youngsters of
the Congregational Baseball club
any. Last Saturday they jour-
neyed up the river and trimmed
the Hanford team to the tune of
5 to 2. The Hanford team is rat
ed as one Of the best in the val
ley, but the Congo lads showed
just a little bit better class. The
Hanford Flyer was held until af-
ter the game and brought the boys
home all thoroughly happy and
well pleased with their trip.
