was reported to have handed
Ritchie such a lacing.
White proved that he is very
heady and not easily excited but
he did not show the punch that
the fans were looking for.
White has been touted as the
best of the corners in the light
weight division and the most
likely opponent for Freddie
Welsh, but judging by the show
ing he made here in his recent
encounter with Ritchie's sparring
partner, he has been overrated.

CREDITORS MEET

At the meeting OF the creditors of
the Chas. HI. Collins Co. Wednesday
afternoon Owen Jones put in a prior
claim for two cars of peaches alleged
to have been shipped and mis-
directed. The claim was against
the Northern Pacific and stands
ready to be delivered as soon as the
referee decides whether or not Mr..
Jones is entitled to his claim or
whether he must stand his chances
and take share and share alike with
the other creditors.
The taking of the testimony occu-
pied the major part of the hearing
and the referee gave the attorneys
ten days in which to prepare and
submit briefs of the case. E. L.

matter and Attorney Johnson, of
Pasco, represented the Person Page

GOSPEL MEETINGS

Rev. George Robert Cairns, the
well-known pastor-evangelist, who
preached here for short time last
spring, is to return and hold another
series Of gospel meeting at the Bap-
tist church beginning Monday night
at 7:30. DR.. Cairns has conducted
many successful meetings both in
this country and in England and he
is a preacher of unusual power. His
methods are sane and all who at
tended the meetings last year re-
gretted that he could spare so little
of his time from his busy pastorage
in Spokane.
The meetings are interdenomin-
ational in character though carried
on under Baptist auspices. A most
cordial invitation is given to all.

GRAPE JUICE
SALES CLIMB
Manager Church Predicts that Out
put Of factory will be Trebled
This Season

/A<new> product of the local grape
FMice factory has been added to sup
ply the insistent demand which the
initial product created. The pure
juice of the grape is too cloying for
many tastes so Manager Church is
putting out form of the juice di-
luted with Waukesha mineral
spring water, slightly sweetened and
carbonated.
This new carbonated juice is
superior in several respects to his
staple brand and the samples that
were put out have brought substan-
tial orders. Repeat orders are
coming in with every mall" said
Mr.. Church this week, and each
tells of the superiority of the local
product. That is the kind of praise
we like to hear.
From present indications it will
be necessary to increase the capacity
of the plant for the coming years
business and to more than double
our storage facilities. We handled
over $50 tons of grapes last year and
and we figure that we will use at
least three times that amount this
year.
The apple cider branch was
mostly in the nature of an expert
ment, but we used a carload of
apples and get enthusiastic endorse
ments from critics to whom we have
shipped samples. Our product is
pronounced the superior of the i'm
ported elders both as to flavor,
quality, color and sediment. The
trade is taking to it nicely"
The Northern Pacific hassent ina
big order for the individual bottles
of grape juice which will be served
exclusively in their dining cars.
The Palm candy store in Spokane
serves Church's Grape Juice ex-
clusively as do several other big es-
adjustments. The Davenport has
had trial order and state that they
will continue to handle the Kenne-
wick product. In Seattle the Bon
Marche has demonstration at work
all this month with the juice and

EXPECT TO HANDLE
$50 CARS OF MELONS
Fruit Exchange Will Develop Tonnage
Of this Profitable Crop---Ber1y
- Pickers to Get Csc

Wednesdays meeting of growers
who will ship through the Kenne-
wick Fruit Exchange this year was
well attended. The growers agreed
to pay strawberry pickers thirty five
cents per crate of twenty-four full
pints and packers are to receive
twenty cents.
1t is estimated that there will be
$50 cars of melons and cantaloupes
shipped from the Kennewick Rich.
land district this year, according to
the acreage pledged to those crops
at the meeting. 1t was agreed that
the 'Burrell's Gem" cantaloupe
was the best variety to raise in this
valley, both as to flavor and ship
ping qualities, while a limited num-
Der of Rocky Fords" can also be
marketed profitably.
The tom Watson" variety of
watermelon was recommended high
ly and a considerable acreage of
them are to be grown. The com
mercial possibilities of the casaba or
winter cantaloupe received consider
able discussion. w. S. Haxton is
the champion casaba grower of the
valley at present and his talk will
undoubtedly influence number of
other growers to raise enough of
this variety to make it factor on
the market.
The Exchange has agreed to put
in large stock of seeds of the ac-
cepted varieties of melons and can
taIoupes at once. Any grower who
has not already listed his acreage
should give his figues to Mr.. Matte
check or Mr.. Collins at once as it is
an important part of the marketing
plans that the acreage which will be
shipped through the Exchange be
approximately known.

FINLEY FELLOWS ARE
FINE ENTERTAINERS
The Live Wire" Live up to Their
Name-Good Delegation Goes
From kennewick

The Finley Live Wires demon
strated thoroughly last night why
they are so named, when they pulled
off free entertainment at the Finley
Hall which delighted a crowd of
severa al hundred people. OF course
everybody in Finley and vicinity
was there besides good-sized dele
cations from Hover and Kennewick.
The Commercial Club had re-
ceived cordial invitation and eight
auto loads accepted, the delegation
including the band, orchestra and
the Highlands quartette, all of whom
helped in the entertainment. The
talent which had been rounded up
by the Live Wires didn't need any
help, however, in keeping the crowd
amused. Their black faced coined
ians were There" with a big T.
and all their other acts were well
worth while.
President Kraber of the Live Wires
told of the birth of that young but
husky and hustling organization.
He explained its purposes and ex-
pressed the hope that the little club
might become an active medium in
broadening the spirit of friendliness
and cooperation which should bind
together the several communities of
the valley, from Richland to Hover,
short talks were also given by Pres
ident Desgranges of the Kennewick
Commercial Club, Mayor Richard
son, j. ]. Rudkin and A. r. Gard
ner. Refreshments of sanwiches
and good, hot coffee were enjoyed
at the close of the entertainment.
Next Friday evening, the Goth,
the Live Wires will again get busy,
and this time will show the valley
just how to engineer a successful
masquerade ball. They expect every
dancer in the community to gather
at the Finley Hall that night and
hope that all will come costumed
and masked.

I BURGLAR GETS CASH

Monday night the safe in the Of
flee of the Fruit & Produce Co. was
entered and the cash drawer, con-
tanning about SO in cash and $50
in checks, was stolen. The thief
made his entrance through the side
window of the office and pried open
the light inner door of the safe with
a home made jimmy. 1t had not
been the habit to lock the combina-
ton, so the burglar had a compar-
atively easy job in getting what he
WAS after.
A crippled peddler who it was
thought might have been connected
with the job was located at Vista
and brought back and locked up.
The peddler was in the Fruit &
Produce store several times during
the day and might have been doing
some scout work for an accomplice.
He was requested to leave town on
No. 4 Monday afternoon but came
back again an No. Al and was again
chased out and headed west. The
prisoner was examined by Deputy
Sheriff Mahan, but nothing could
be proven against him and he was
turned loose Wednesday morning.

new RAILROAD
INCORPORATED
Million Dollar Company to Build
Line from Richland
~ to Hanford

w nat is locally regar0eO as
another step in the development of
the system of the Hartman lines in
Washington was taken last week at
Olympia when articles of incorpora-
ton were filed for the Richland
Northern Railway company. F. J.
O'Brien and B. F. Knapp, of Rich
land and Manley F. Haynes, of
White Bluffs, are named as incor-
porators. The general opinion here
abouts is that this is another North
Coast" deal-that is, the "Richland
Northern" will eventually develop
into another link in the Hartman
system, connecting the present line
at Kennewick with the Milwaukee
at Hanford. OF course, neither Mr..
Knapp nor Mr.. O'Brien are giving
out any inside information just at
present so we can only surmise
whether or not there is any signi-
fcance to the deal that does not ap-
pear in the following news story
which was published in the dailies
last Friday:
Articles of incorporation have
been drawn up for the Richland
Northern Railway company capital
lied at 81 900, 900, to build a line
from Richland, northerly to a con-
nection with the Milwaukee railroad.
1t is presumed that the connec-
tion point will be at Hanford, to
where the Milwaukee already has
built. The Milwaukee is known to
have surveys between Hanford and
Kennewick.
Engineer A.. S. Burroughs of
the public service commission sees
possibility, by making this connec-
tion, Of affording the Hartman
lines direct outlet from the Ore
gon Short Line to Puget Sound,
through possible joint arrangements
with the Milwaukee, such as have
been made in other cases in the
north west.
The Oregon Short Line, by way
of either Walla Walla or Umatilla,
has connection with the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
company at Kennewick. With an
agreement with the Milwaukee to
use the latter's line from Kennewick
to junction with the main line at
Cohasset, in Kittitas county, the
Hartman system would have a di-
rect line to Seattle and Tacoma,
without the necessity of construct
ing a new line through the Cascades
along the West Coast Survey through
the Mcclellan pass.
The articles of the new COM
pany give Manly F. Haynes, F.
J. o. Brien and B. F. Knapp as in
corporators and Seattle as the prin-
cipal place of business. The articles
were sent to Secretary of State I'M.
Howell for filing, but were returned
for corrections.
