Republican Ticket

Postmaster A. H. Wheaton,
who will sever his connection
with Uncle Sam this. month, an
nounced to the Courier Reporter
this afternoon that he will to-
morrow file as a candidate for as
SCISSOR on the republican ticket.
Mr.. Wheaton has made an ex-
cellent postmaster, is a careful
and competent clerical man, is
widely acquainted with people,
and widely conversant with con.
ditions in Benton county, and
may be expected to give the same
satisfactory service in the assess

postmaster.
So far as Mr.. Wheaton knows
there is no other aspirant for the
republication nomination. If
there is, he will have a hard man
to beat, in Mr.. Wheaton.

ELEVEN CLAIMS ARE
RECORDED YESTERDAY
Clark Brothers & Klein Continue Ex-
plorations but Deny Rumor of Or
der for Drilling Outfits

The oil rush is on. Clark Bros.
& Klein, by their explorations in
the vicinity of the gas we'll in the
Rattlesnake district, have started
something. The auditor yes.
terday received filings on eleven
claims and it is reported that an.
other bunch of at least fifteen
will come in today. Yesterdays
filings were: Harry C. Benson,
Sagebrush Annie Gusher; Ida
Mauglos, Hail Stone Gusher;
Robert Moore. Emma; A. d. Pat
terson, Jack Patterson; Adrian
Utz, Little Giant; O. S. Brown,
Horn Mine; c. j. Alexander,
Jewel; w. B. Wigton. $4,000;
Frank B. Mason, Blue Bell; F. C.
Tnll, Jimy; Chas. D. Morgan,
Lucky Strike.
With the exception of Ida Maug-
los, whose home is in Zillah, all
of the above are from Prosser
and all of the claims are in Sec
tion 32-11-27, with two excep-
tions. These two are in 10-1O-26.
A. C. Klein, HI. A. Slee and
Geologist c. M. Edgett are still
camped at the we'll and are con-
tinuing their Investigations. E.
G. Sinclair, geologist, associated
with Walter Nichols of Spokane,
left Tuesday for the Calgary
fields but will return later. The
party came in from the well
Monday night to replenish sup
plies and rest up for a day.
When asked to verify the rumor
that his company had ordered
two outfits and would start drill
ing Immediately, Mr.. Klein said
the report was without founda-
tion. I'VE are not ready yet to
say what we are going to do and
will not be until our geologists
have finished their Investigations
and given us a report" he said.
Neither Mr.. Edgett nor Mr..
Sinclair were willing to say what
opinions they had formed from
their Investigations to date. Mr..
Sinclair said that as yet he had
discovered nothing that would
tend to discourage the oil theory.
On the other hand, aside from
the gas well, he had found moth
ing of a very encouraging nature.
This, however, he said was not
surprising as he did not expect to
find any strong surface indica-
tions of oil in a country where
the formation is such as it is
here.

GUARANTEE
OF si,5OO Is IN SIGHT
Details to Be Handled by Joint Com
mite from Commercial, Improv-,
ment and Live Wire Clubs

There is to be a Fourth Annu.
al Grape Carnival and it is to be
held this year. All doubt on
this score was removed at the
regular meeting Of the Com.
mercial club Tuesday evening
The committee in charge of the
SUBSCRIPTION list report e d
pledges amounting to about
$1,000 with a promise of 5000
more. This with other sub.
scriptions that are reasonably
sure will complete the necessary
guarante fund of 1,5O0.
In view of this showing the
club voted to give the carnival
The standing carnival com.
mittee, M. w. Mattecheck, w,
j. Hoyt and G. M. Annis; was
authorized to name three addi.
tional members and invitations
were extended the Highlands
Improvement club and the. Fin.
ley Live Wires to appoint COM
mittees to work with the Com.
mercial club.
It was evident from the, dis
cussions that. there is a strong
sentiment in favor of enlarging
the scope of the carnival to in
clude livestock and it is probable
that the committee will arrange
for at least a one-day stock
show.
One of the big items of ex-
pense in the past has been the
rental of a tent in which to
house the carnival. The tent
evidently has fallen into disre-
pute with the carnival promo
ters and it may be expected that
the show this year will assume
the proportions Of a street fair
or be partially housed in q
structure intended for perma-
nent use. 1t was pointed out
that the money that has been
expended for tents and lumber
in former years would have
built a structure that might
be used for several years to
come.
Mr.. Mattecheck announced
that Wednesday, Thursday. and
Friday, September Is, II and
18 had been named as the carni-
val dates, Saturday having been
eliminated to allow more time
for assembling an exhibit for
the state fair at North Yakima.

SEVERE STORMS IN
RATTLESNAKE HILLS
Hundreds of Acres of Wheat
Fields Devastated by Rain,
Wind and Hail

The Kennewick valley and hill
districts escaped the severe elec-
trical, rain, hail and wind storms
which were more or less general
the first of the week throughout
eastern Washington and Oregon,
and which destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of growing grain
and fruit crops. Although there
were slight electrical disturb
ances and light showers Sunday
and Monday in the Kennewick
country no damage from the
storms has been reported.
1t is estimated that the fruit
crop around North Yakima was
damaged to the extent Of $751;
600 and thousands of acres of
standing grain was beaten into
the ground in the fields of east
ern Oregon. The storms fury
in Benton county was vented in
the Rattlesnake country north of
Prosser.
Much Wheat Ruined
Today's Prosser Independent
Record will say:
In the country to the north of
Prosser much damage has been
done to the wheat fields. A strip
of territory about a mile wide
and seven miles long was beaten
into the ground with practically
a total loss. In this district was
many acres of ripe wheat, some
fields of which were partly har-
vested, and some which were not
yet touched.
The storm in this district,
twelve to fifteen miles north of
Prosser, broke Sunday evening
and was only of about five min
utes duration, that being suffi-
cient to destroy the wheat and
kill the rabbits which lay in the
path Of the hail stones. Roads
were washed out, bridges swept
away, traffic tied up and a gen.
eral condition of havoc prevailed.
Monday afternoon another
storm visited the hills, this time
being farther to the east. Here
it was more of a cloudburst than
a hail storm, but the effects were
as disastrous. Fields were
ruined. Water rushed down the
canyons taking away pig pens
with the pigs. carrying away
buildings and bridges and con-
tinuing in its torrent to the Yak
ina river, taking with it a Sec
ton of the Kiona- Benton canal
and one of the O-W. r. & N.
bridges.

NEWSPAPER men
COMING To CARNIVAL
Editors of Weekly Publications
in Kittitas, Yakima and Ben
ton Counties to Meet Here

The editors of the weekly
newspapers Of Kittitas, Yakima
and Benton counties, to the
number Of almost a score will
assemble in Kennewick during
the Grape Carnival. At a
meeting Of the press associa-
iont embracing these three
counties in Prosser last Satur-
day, an invitation extended on
behalf Of Kennewick by the
Courier Reporter, was accepted
and the next meeting date set
for Saturday, September 10th.
The next regular meeting of the
association is not until the lat
ter part of January but as Il
number of newspaper men ex-
pressed a desire to visit Kenne-
wick during the carnival a spec
ial meeting was arranged.
Considerable in t e e s t at
taches to this meeting as it is
the intention to have present
Fred w. Kennedy, director of
University of Wa s h in g t o n,
School of Journalism. Mr.. Ken
nedy will address the editors on
the methods Of cost finding in
the small shop.
At Saturdays meeting the
newspaper men went on record
as favoring a state law that
will fix a minimum charge for
legal advertising in towns of
the third and fourth classes
and the matter of securing leg
islation to this end was turned
over to the legislative commit
tee. A committee appointed to
draft a uniform schedule for
job printing will report at the
September meeting.
Guests Entertained
At noon the visiting editors
were guests of the Prosser
newspaper men at luncheon
and listened to a brief address
by L. L. Lynn, president Of the
Prosser Commercial Club, who
outlined that organizations ac-
complishments since the first
of the year. The speaker paid
the country newspaper man a
high compliment, saying that a
repetition of the panic of 1893
had been averted during the
past two years by the fine spirit
of optimism shown by the
country press. In the after
noon the visitors were taken
for an automobile ride over the
fine macadam roads and thru
the orchards in the vicinity of
Prosser.
Editor Kingston, of the Sc
lah Optimist and Angus Hay of
the White Bluffs Spokesman,
were voted into the association,
which now comprises represen-
tatives of fifteen weekly news
papers in the three counties.

ALSO OPERATE EXPERT
MENTAL AND SHOW FARM
Want Company Organized to Raise
Hogs on Scientific and Systematic
Basis Committee Appointed

For the purpose OF raising hOgS
on a scientific and systematic
basis, and conducting an expert
mental and demonstration farm,
Kraber Brothers. of Finley, ap-
peared before the Commercial
club Tuesday evening and asked
that organizations cooperation
IN establishing a model hog
ranch. In short, the plan con-
templates the organization of a
company for the purchase or lease
Of a suitable tract of land, which
is to be equipped, stocked and
operated along scientific lines.
In addition to accumulating pro-
fits for the members Of the COM
pany, one of the objects of the
ranch would be the tabulation of
data showing results of various
feeds and combinations, with
practical demonstrations. Also
results Of intelligent feeding Of
good stock as compared with hap
hazard feeding of grade stock.
In bringing the matter before
the club, Kraber Brothers called
attention to the rapid growth Of
the hog industry in the valley.
It is estimated, they said, that
between $4,000 and $40, 1000
worth of pork was shipped out
this year. whereas two years ago
hogs were being shipped in to
supply the local demand. The in
dustry has now reached the stage
where it has been clearly dem
onstrated that it can be fol-
lowed with profit throughout the
valley, and benefits from a model
farm, such as they propose, would
come not only to the company,
but to the farmers and the busi-
ness men.
Ot8IteO 10 MOntnS Ago
Kraber Brothers started in the
hog business near Finley about
fifteen months ago, with limited
capital and poor facilities for
handling the stock. They now
have 81 thoroughbred Duroc Jer-
sey sows and 81 pigs, in addition
to 40 grade sows and about 25O
grade pigs. Closely kept records
of feeds and costs show that they
are producing pork at about one
half the market price. With ade-
quate capital and facilities they
believe they can beat this figure.
County Agriculturist Lee M.
Lampson was present at the
meeting and voiced his hearty
endorsement of the plan, saying
that he believed great benefits to
the valley in general could be de-
rived from such a farm. He ex-
planned that methods worked out
at the eastern Washington ex-
pertinent station cannot always
be adopted in this section of the
country with profit to the farmer.
There the plentiful cheap feed is
grain while here it is alfalfa, and
the combination of feeds in
tended to produce the most pork
often produces it at a cost which
leaves the farmer no profit.
The plan likewise met with the
approval of several of the club
members and a committee con-
sisting of G.. w. Sherk, Geo. F.
Richardson and Grant A. Stewart
was appointed to investigate the
proposition more fully and re-
port at the next club luncheon
Wednesday of next week.
The extent to which the Krab-
ers are asking the clubs cooper
alton is that it endorse the plan
and assist them, through commit
tee and publicity, to interest suf-
ficient capital to carry tout the
undertaking.

Logical Location for Distribu.
tion Of Yakima Fruit Crop
Shippers Say
TO ADOPT THIS PLAN
WITH 1914 OUTPUT
Yakima Association Consolidates
Small Shipments and Bills from
Here in Mixed Car Lots

A new feature in marketing
the fruit crop Of the Yakima
valley has developed this week,
which shippers regard as proof
that Kennewick is the logical
and natural distribution point
for the bulk Of the crop of the
entire valley. For the past
week, the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers association has been
picking up small shipments at
their different stations and
sending them to Kennewick
where they are consolidated and
billed out to the trade in mixed
car lots. Although this plan has
mot been followed in former
years it is meeting with great
success and encourages local
|shippers in the belief that even
tually large storage and assem-
Filing fruit warehouses will be
|erected here and Kennewick will
Ebe YflHde the central shipping
station. for the entire Yakima
valley.
The association was led to
adopt the plan this year in order
that the early products of the
Columbia Valley might be COM
bined with the later products of
the Yakima Valley in supplying
an increasing demand for mixed
car shipments. And the con-
tents of some of the cars are in
deed well mixed. A car billed
out by the association Monday
night illustrates the wide varie-
ty of products. Manifests of
the car show that it contained
nine varieties of peaches, seven
varieties of apples, four varie-
ties of apricots, two of pears,
one of crab apples and one Of
Prunis Simoni.
Peach Shipments Fall OF
Just now there is a lull in the
peach receipts, the earliest var
ieties having been harvested,
while the later ones will not be
in market for about two weeks.
Last week ten straight carloads
Of peaches were shipped from
here but there will probably be
no straight cars out this week.
The pear crop is just beginning
to move, both the association
and the exchange having equipt
their warehouses for packing
the crops of their customers.
Strawberry Returns
The North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors this week announced
what are practically their final
strawberry figures, showing an
average net price secured by
that agency of $1.871z per crate
and 81 1886. 90 per car, for a total
of 151k cars sold at a total net
price of $2O2,417.72. The dis
tributors in a bulletin claim that
this was $.821a more per crate
or $577.4O more per car than
was obtained by the private or
independent firms operating in
the Northwest, according to fig
ures being reported by them.
Of the cars shipped by the dis
triDutors, 10 came from this dis
trict, 124 from the Hood River
and White Salmon district, and
171a cars from the Spokane dis
trict.
