Address Of Jack SpIawn to be Feature Of Pro-
gran at North Yssima Meeting

The program of the four-day
Washington and Idaho Christian
Endeavor convention, that will
meet in North Yakima, June Is,
26, q and %, is coming on apace
and those who have attended pre-
vious gatherings of the kind de-
clare it one of the best that has
been arranged for many years.
One feature of this will be the
address of welcome, on the part
of the City of North Yakima, by
Mayor A. j. Splawn, familiarly
known as Jack" who is a pioneer,
having come to this country in
1862, as he tells it. He has grown
up with the country and is a typ
ical frontiersman, though he has
given up his gun many years ago.
At least he does not carry strap
ped to his hip, as in the days
when he herded cattle from the
Columbia to the Canadian line
and slept on his saddle blanket
with his saddle for a pillow. Il 1t
will be a picturesque meeting of
the old with the new-the pioneer
land he is with but one exception
the first man to come to this Sec
ton of the state) and the young
er empire builder.

Mrs. j. H. Gravenslund received word
the first of the week from Mrs. C. H.
Wehrley, of Forest Grove, Ore. that
their oldest son. Clarence, was quite
seriously scalded recently while working
in a milk canning factory. While lift
in a can of milk to his shoulder, steam
pipe near him burst, hitting him full
force, and had it not been for the pro-
lection of the can it would probably
have proved fatal. As tits, he will pro-
badly lose the use of his right arm The
Wehrleys are well known here and have
the sympathy of their Kennewick
friends.

Necessary Sixty Per Cent Secured
at Special Bonding Election
Held Tuesday L.
WASN'T ONE VOTE TO SPARE
One Less Vote For or One More Against Would
Have Reversed Result But Little
Interest is Shown

With not even one vote to
spare, the proposition to bond
the city for S23, 900 carried at
the special election Tuesday. To
win it was necessary for the issue
to receive 60 per cent of the votes
cast. The total votes in the three
wards was lis, of which SO were
for, and 46 against bonds. Sixty
per cent of 115 is SO, so that the
difference of just one vote would
have changed the result of the
election.
There was probably never be-
fore so little interest shown in
any city election and the vote
was not more than one-fifth of
the total vote of the city and less
than half of the total registra-
tion. There was little or no open
campaigning done for or against
the issue and a number of the
voters did not wake up to the
fact that there was an election
until after the polls were closed.
That sentiment in the third
ward is strongly opposed to bonds
is indicated by the vote there of
13 against and five for. In the
first ward the proposition carried
by a margin Of seven votes, the
result being % for and Il against.
Bond sentiment showed up much
stronger in the second ward
where the vote was SO for and IL
against.
The bonds, which the election
authorizes, are to be used in re-
firing the present warrant in
debtedness of the city. By the
terms of a previous contract the
issue has been sold to Keeler
Brothers of Denver at 53. The
company has already investigated
the proceedings of the council to
date and their attorneys have
held that such proceedings have
been entirely regular and accord
ing to the provisions of law.
City officials are of the opinion
that there will now be no delay
in securing the money on the
bonds and Immediately retiring
the warrants.

STARTED WITH
EVE BROOD SOWs
Finley Rancher is Rapidly Building
Up Profitable Pig-Plant From
Small Beginning

One of the finest droves of hogs
ever shipped from this point came
from the C. E. Shelton ranch near
Finley, Tuesday and went to
make up a car of porkers shipped
to Seattle that evening by G. E.:
Finley. Mr.. Skeletons drove con-
sisted of thirty Duroc Jerseys,
seven months old, averaging
from 100 to 200 pounds each, and
every one was in absolutely prime
condition.
This shipment brings the num-
ber of pigs marketed by Mr..
Shelton this season up to fifty
head and he reports that he will
have a hundred more, just as
fine, ready for the October mar
ket. These are the increase from
the five original brood sows with
which Mr.. Shelton started his
herd last year, and anybody hold
ing the opinion that hogs in this
valley cant be made to pay, will
have his ideas corrected by a talk
with this rancher and by taking
q look over his pig-plant.

Number Of Business Men Favor Oh
.ervance Of Fourth and Com
mercial Club Gets Busy
COMMITTEE OUT FOR FUNDS
Eueush Money Not Yet Subscribed, But Solicitors
Believe Sufficient Amount Can Be Raised
BY Conplete Canvass

Kennewick's eagle, which has
been cooped up since 1912, was
trotted out a few days ago by
some of the business men, who
after a thorough examination de-
cided there was a good healthy
scream left in the old bird yet
and that he should be given an
opportunity to pull off a few
stunts on July Fourth.
Although the celebration idea
came a little late it is rapidly TAX
ing definite shape and it now
seems assured that the Fourth
will be fittingly observed in Ken
newick. The latter part of last
week and the first of this, a pa
per was circulated for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the wishes
Of the business men. At the
regular meeting of the CONNER
cial club Tuesday evening the pa
per, which was in the nature of a
request for a celebration, was pre-
sented. It bore the signatures
of more than thirty business men.
Upon vote of the club, Vice
President H. r. Vibber named
Guy ]. Hayden, John Brog and
DR.. B. L. Coleato solicit funds
and to go ahead with plans for
the celebration lif sufficient en-
couragement was received. Mr..
Hayden declined to serve on the
committee because Of lack of time
and L. H. Marks was later man,
ed as the third member.
The committee started the SUBJ
scription list this morning and at
noon had secured sufficient funds
so that the celebration is practi-
cally assured. I'VE have not yet
secured the minimum amount
which we consider is necessary
to pull off the celebration, but
judging from the subscriptions Of
those who have been solicited,
we believe we will be able to
complete the fund.-" said Mr..
Brog this afternoon.

SHIPPING CHERRIES
TO many CITIES
Single Crate Shipments Will Go As
Far as New York and as Far
South as Florida

A fruit season never passed
that some paper somewhere does
not remind it's readers that God
might have created a better fruit
than the strawberry. but he
didn't. Well God almost did,
when he created the big, bright
Bing cherry as it is grown in
Kennewick. AS a result of this
seasons shipping the Kennewick
Bing is not only going to become
known in the markets of the
Northwest but to some extent in
all parts of the United States.
In answer to an advertisement
inserted in q Seattle newspaper,
the Kennewick Fruit Exchange
today sent out individual crate
shipments to Florida, to the
Woolworth Building in New York
City, to Hampton Beach, Long
Island; to Syracuse, New York;
and to numerous places in the
Mississippi Valley states.
The crate sent to Long Island
was ordered by a Seattle hotel
proprietor who writes that his
eastern relatives will be glad Of
an opportunity to boost for Wash
ingtoD fruit.
The first full carload which was
sent out by the Exchange last
week was sold in st. Pauland
the purchasers Immediately
wired orders for another full car
shipment. The cherries brought
the very top quotations and the
price paid for the car was $500
more than that paid for a car Of
California cherries sold the same
day on the same market.
The second full car was billed
out Tuesday evening by the Ex-
change and was destined for Gin
cinnati but may be diverted to
other markets enroute. The car
contained 1910 10-pound boxes of
mixed Bings and Royal Annes.
The bulk of the crop has been
harvested and this will probably
be the last full car this season.
Growers express themselves as
highly pleased with prices and
many Of them will net very sub
stantial returns from their trees
this year.

Association Gets Out Shipment on
June 9 and Sets New Rec
ord For Earliness

What is thought to be the earli-
est shipment of peaches ever
made in the Northwest. was sent
out Tuesday, June 9. by the Ken
newick District Fruit Growers
association. The peaches were
of the Mayf1ower variety and
were grown on the Gould Farms
on the Highlands. Mr.. Gould
was but a few hours ahead of
VIM. Kenyon who brought his
first ripe peaches to the associa-
tion yesterday.
The first shipment last year
was made June % and the fact
that the season this year is start
ing fully two weeks early augurs
we'll for the Kennewick peach
grower. Managers of the asso-
citation and the exchange agree
in saying that the peach market
outlook is much more favorable
than for the two years past. The
local crop will be early and of ex-
cellent quality, while big short
ages are reported in some of the
principal peach producing Sec
tons of the country.
