ANOTHER BREAK In THE CANAL

The third bad break in the ir-
rigation canal this year occurred
Tuesday night at the C. E. Grif-
feth ranch about six miles up the
valley. The lower embankment
of the canal was torn away for a
distance of about five hundred
feet, several acres of alfalfa
were covered with sand and silt
and several rods of the county
road washed out.
Thirty-five teams and a large
force of men are at work on the
break and it is thought repairs
will have been completed in time
for the water to be turned on
again Saturday evening. The
road was repaired and opened
to travel yesterday evening.
Owing to the cool weather
and Tuesday nights shower
crops will suffer none because
of the break.

WORK SOON
ON FINLEY ROAD
Commissioner Clements Says Inn
provement Will Start as Soon as
Gravel Can Be Secured

Taken to task at the CONNER
cial club meeting Tuesday eve
ming, for delay in the improve
ment of the Finley road, County
Commissioner j. B. Clements ex-
planned that the delay had been
occasioned because of his inabil-
ity to obtain gravel at satisfac-
tory prices. He assured mem
bers of the club that the road had
not been forgotten and informed
them that negotiations for the
purchase of a gravel pit had been
under way for some time. The
work, he said, would start just
as soon as the gravel deal was
was closed. He promised, in case
it was impossible to secure the
gravel. the road would be graded
this spring and the most annoy
ing defects corrected.
At the Commercial club lunch
cheon Wednesday, Supervisor H.
M. Thamke announced that nego-
tiations for the gravel were now
ready to close up. provided the
board of county commissioners
would authorize the purchase. 1t
is planned to purchase a gravel
pit of c. E. Lum for $500. Com
missioner Clements, he said, was
heartily in favor of the purchase
but the other commissioners
might not look with favor upon
the deal. He requested that the
Commercial club get behind the
proposition and back up Mr..
Clements in his efforts to swing
the deal.

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE BUSY
Details Of Celebration which will Be Given Prob.
ably First Week Of May to be
Anneuneed Later

The custom of celebrating the
ripening of the first Strawberries.
as established by the CONNER
cial Club last year, is to be fol-
lowed again this season. Action
favoring such a plan was taken at
the regular meeting of the Club
Tuesday evening and the public
ity committee was authorized to
get busy and work out the details.
Last year the Club offered a
prize for the first crate and cele-
brated its ripening with a ban
quet which was limited to the
members of the Club and out of
town guests. The observance
this year will doubtless be varied
somewhat but the primary object
as before, will be to give publici-
ty to Kennewick's early berry.
w. r. Crawford, chairman of
the committee. is already busy
with plans but is unable at this
time to announce a definite date,
the determination Of which will
be left to the weather man. Mr..
Crawford said this morning that
he thought that by next week
weather conditions would be suf-
ficiently settled so that a definite
date can be announced. If pos
sible the celebration will be held
the first week in May.
Several other matters came up
before the Club for consideration.
Chairman Moulton of the rivers
and harbors committee reported
that about $50 signatures had
been affixed to the port district
petition, In order to hasten the
work the committee was author
lied to incur whatever expense
might be necessary in hiring men
to circulate the petitions.
]. B. Thomas called the Clubs
attention to the desirability Of in
stalling mail service on the O-W.
r. & N, and the commercial re-
lations committee was ordered to
take the matter up in conjunction
with commercial organizations Of
other towns in the Yakima val
ley.
AS a tribute to the memory of
III. M. Bartlett, who was an ac-
tive worker in the Club, the COM
mittee on resolutions was in
structed to draft appropriate res
olutions of coincidence to b e
placed on the permanent records
of the Club and mailed to Mrs.

Association and Exchange Managers
Are Busy with Plans for
Importing Helpers
HUNDREDS WILL Be NEEDED
Exchange will Act a. Clearing Hsuse for Il,
Meabess and viii Direct Work
in the Patches

with DrlgnC prospects IOr the
largest strawberry crop the val
ley has ever produced, the big
question which is confronting the
growers of Kennewick and Rich
land at the present time, is that
of securing enough pickers and
packers to handle the crop. Al
though some of the growers are
doing their own hustling, for the
most part the question of help is
being worked out through the
Association and the Exchange.
Both of these organizations have
plans well under way and believe
they will have no difficulty in
bringing the necessary help into
the valley.
Manager H. w. Desgranges
said this morning that members
Of the Association will need more
than five hundred helpers, the
Richland growers alone having
made application for 80 pickers
and 20 packers. Mr.. Desgranges
has notified the managers of the
district associations in the Yaki-
ma valley and a large percentage
of the needed help will be sup
piled through these branches.
The Exchange is also busy with
plans for importing help. At the
first quarterly meeting of the
stockholders Friday it was voted
to make the Exchange a clearing
house for pickers and packers.
Under this plan the Exchange
will engage the pickers, put them
in the patches Of their members
and work them under the direc-
ton of a foreman. Instead of
the pickers' tallies being turned
to the grower they will be turned
into the Exchange who will issue
checks in payment, charging the
amounts to the accounts of their
members. In this manner the
grower will be relieved of a lot
of worry and responsibility and
thru the different foremen the
Exchange will be enabled to ex-
ercise close supervision over the
picking and packing. Secretary
W.R. Crawford, of the Exchange
is now in communication with
several Coast employment agen-
cies and believes that he will
haye no difficulty in bringing
enough Japs into the valley to
meet the needs Of all those who
market through the Exchange.
The price that has been adopted
for this year is IS cents a crate
for picking and 20 cents for pack
ing. With the size of the crate
reduced to "a pints the price is
apparently very satisfactory to
pickers.

One Of this Valleys Best Known
Pioneers Dies Of Heart
Disease
FUNERAL HELD TUESDAY
Developed Two Large Orchards Near City and
was Prominent in Church Work
and Community Affairs

Rev. Hamilton M. Bartlett,
founder of st. PaM's Episcopal
church of this city, one of the
largest property holders and one
of the most widely known pio-
neers of the Kennewick Valley,
died at Shiperd Springs. Monday
afternoon at two o'clock. Death
was due to heart trouble which
had rendered Mr.. Bartlett an in
valid for several months. Mrs.
Bartlett and his niece Miss Bessie
Hart were with him at the time
of his death, his brother-in-la law
A. C. Hart having left for Ken
newick a few hours before.
Funeral services were held at
st. Paul's church Tuesday after
noon at two o'clock. The cere-
monies were conducted by Bishop
Lemuel H. Wells, of Spokane, as
sisted by Rev. w. H. Mitchell,
rector of the local church. AS a
mark of tribute to Mr.. Bartlett 8
memory stores were closed and
business suspended during the
funeral hour.
Mr.. Bartlett was born at Win
chendon, Mass, sixty-five years
ago. He graduated from Grinell
College, Ia, and later from And
over Seminary, Andover, Mass.
When a young man he entered
the ministry in the Congregations
al church at Pomfret, Conn. He
afterward entered the Episcopal
church and was assistant to Bish-
op Greer at Providence RI. Lat
er he went to Wilmington. Dele
ware as rector of the Mount Cha
min church, chapel of the Dupont
family.
In 1896 he came to North Yak
ina, where for eight years he
was rector of st. Michael's Epis-
copal church. He found a strug-
Cling little church and it was
through his efforts and faithful
work that the debt was lifted and
the church put upon a firm and
substantial footing. In 1894 he
gave up his chosen profession, be-
cause Of failing health, and came
to Kennewick to make his home.
He purchased and developed a 33-
acre fruit farm in the Garden
Tracts known as. Rest-A- Bit
ranch which today is one of the
finest orchards in the valley.
Five years ago when the High
lands were brought under irriga-
ton, he purchased 40 acres of
sage brush land and erected a
handsome country home. In ad-
dition to his own holdings ne per-
sonally superintended the devel-
opment of other tracts belonging
to friends and relatives. The
same determination and close ap-
plication to work which brought
him success as a clergyman was
characteristic of his activities as
a farmer, and his Highland home
is recognized as one Of the best
appointed and his orchard as one
of the finest young peach or
chards in the state.
Although when coming to Ken
newick, Mr.. Bartlett gave up the
ministry as a profession, he was
the father of, and the moving
spirit in the local Episcopal
church. It was through his eff
forts and his money that the
