MOVE TO CANoNIzE CHARLES I.
Action of House of Convocation
Awaits Sanction by Parliament.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
LONDON, May 3.-The name of King
Charles / of England is to be added
to the Church of England's calendar
of saints, if a resolution pa ssed by the
lower house of convocation of the prov
ince of Canterbury receives the re
quired sanction from parliament Res
olutions of the convocation have no
binding power until they have been
legalized by the house of parliament
or unless they have been made under
royal license.
The attempt to canonize Charles
has been made repeatedly. Those ad-
vocating such a move see in the kings
death on the scaffold nothing but a
martyrdom for the Anglican Church
and for parliamentary government
Their opponents urge that the king
merely met the just deserts of a life
of political trickery. lying and abso-
lutism.
For many years during the early
eighteenth century the date of his ex-
ecution, January 30. was set apart for
observances and sermons in memory of
the Blessed Martyr King Charles"

our guns bombarded their defense works
with good effect

10 FIX PRICE SCALE
FOR PACKING THIS YEAR
N.v STYLE of Hallock Will Probably
Save Growers Moniey in the
Preparation of the Crop

For the purpose of discussing
questions which vitally affect the
harvesting and marketing Of the
strawberry, to bring about an
understanding regarding grade
and pack rules and to adopt a
Uniform schedule of picking and
hacking prices, Manager w. r.
Crawford, of the Fruit Exchange
has issued a call for a meeting
of al strawberry growers in the
Kennewick and Richland dis
trict, in the Commercial club
rooms next Tuesday afternoon,
April 13, at 2 o'clock.
Although the call has been is
sued by Mr.. Crawford, he has
taken the initiative only after
having conferred with Manager
Il. w. Desgranges Of the associa-
ton, Chas. H. Collins of the II.
H. Davis company and several of
the independent growers. It is
hoped and expected that every
grower, regardless of affiliations
or marketing beliefs, will be in
attendance.
Considerable attention no doubt
win be given to working out a
uniform price scale for packing.
The hallock of the new double
deck crate which will be used
this year, is similar in dimen-
si0ns to the old short-quart hal
lock and will be much easier to
pack than the hallock used last
year. For this reason it is the
general opinion that the packing
price can be reduced SO as to
save the growers many hundreds
Of dollars.
It is highly imperative that
this question be decided soon for
If the earlv blossoms are NOT
caught by frost it is predicted
that ripe berries will be on the

TO Open LANDS
IN BENTON COUNTY
Government Lands in Outlook
and Benton Projects to be
Offered to Settlers

Opening Of the government
land in the Benton Extension
and Outlook irrigation projects
has been recommended to the
reclamation service, says the Re
publican Bulletin. The order of
the secretary of the interior
throwing these lands open for
settlement is expected in due
course Of official business. Prob
ably it will take place within the
next two months. Allotment of
the land to settlers probably will
be made by lottery drawing, as
in the case of tracts opened to
settlement at Grandview about
two years ago.
The Outlook pumping project
contains about 625 acres of gov
ernment land, and the Benton
extension $40 acres, in a number
Of different tracts on both pro-
jects. Surveys showing these
tracts have just been completed.
The recommendation for OPEN
ing this land includes the rec
ommendatiOn that it be divided
into farm units, generally of 40
acres. The tracts in the Out
look project are located from two
and a half to nine miles from the
city of Sunnyside. Those in the
Bepton extension are within
three to eight miles of Benton
City. The Outlook project con-
tains 1900 acres and the Benton
extension 1900 acres, but all the
land with the exception of the
government lands mentioned, is
privately owned. There is no gov
ernment land in other projects
in the lower valley.

ONE STEAMER TO CARRY
KENNEWICK-PASCO CROWD
Boat Will Leave Here at Four
O'clock Morning of May
Fifth for Cello Canal

Kennewick and Pasco's joint
celebration committee has been
successful in chartering one
steamer for the accommodation
of Cello celebrants who wish to
take in all the fun here and also
witness the big stunts at Big Ed
dy the following day. The Ken
newick- -Pasco steamer will not
accompany the fleet on its down
ward voyage but will leave here
at four o'clock the following
morning, arriving at Big Eddy
in time for the formal opening
ceremonies of the canal.
It is not known what steamer
will be used for the trip but it'll
be one of The Dalles-C Cello line
and its operation will be under
the direction of the Kennewick-
Pasco committee. When in the
city the first of the week Mana
ger Steelsmith said the run to
Cello requires about eight hours
and in order to arrive in time for
the dedicatory ceremonies it
would be necessary to leave here
not later than four o'clock, al
though the sailing hour would be
left entirely to the discretion of
the committee.

For the purpose of conserving
Kennewick's interests in the rate
hearing which is to come before
the Interstate Commerce COM
mission soon, M. M. Moulton, E.
M. Sly and T. "A. Swayze have
been named by the Commercial

to it that Kennewick's claims
are presented.
The hearing is on the request
of the railroads for lower trans
continental freight rates to in
terror points. In the request the
names of Spokane and Walla
Walla Walla are specified and it
will be the duty Of the committee
to see to it that the line of di-
vision between interior and the
coast territory is not placed at
the Columbia river. We're this
done, Spokane, Walla Walla and
intermediate points, including
Pasco, would be granted rates
lower from the east than Ken

COLORS ARE HERE
FOR CELEBRATION
Pennants and Caps are Received
and Distributed Among the
Business Houses

The Commercial club received
this morning, through Vibber-
Clifford, shipment of pennants
and caps to be used in "dolling'
up the celebration crowds on
May Fourth. The colors are a
loudly speaking red and it is the
purpose of the committee to have
every Kennewick representative
wear a cap and carry a pen
nant in the Pasco parade.
The pennant bears the slogan,
'sPort of Kennewick, Where Rail
and Water are at Your Service"
and is set off with a reproduction
of Kennewick's harbor showing
steamers unloading cargoes at
the dock with the N. P. bridge
in the background. The message
which glares forth from the cap
is, Don't Keep it Under Your
Hat, but Shout 1t -Kennewick's
a Comerw
The pennants and caps are to
be distributed among the local
merchants for sale and the net
profit is to be turned into the eel
ebration fund. A cap, cane and
pennant will cost the small sum
of fifty cents one half a dollar.
1t has been suggested that any
club member who shows up at
the next club luncheon without a
cap, pennant and cane, be COM
PEELED to buy an outfit and be
fined an additional fifty cents for
gross negligence.

Authorized Capitalization is In
creased from $25,000 to
100000
NAME is CHANGED TO
THE PRODUCE COMPANY
No New Lines of Merchandise Nor
Bigger Stocks will be Carried
Says Manager E. nj. Sly

AT a special meeting Tuesday
afternoon, the stockholders of
the Kennewick Fruit & Produce
company voted to increase the
authorized capitalization of the
company from $4,000 to $780,
600 and the change of the firm
name tossThe Produce Company"
dropping the words 'Kennewick"
and Fruit" These changes,
however, are not official and are
contingent upon the acceptance
of the amended articles of in
corporation by the secretary of
state.
The provision in the bylaws
which limited the amount of
stock that could be held by any
one person to 5000 was abolished
and a new bylaw adopted which
places the limit at $1,000 and
provides that stock may be sold
in still larger blocks provided the
sale receives the authorization
of the board of directors.
Asked if the increase in capi-
tai stock had been made for the
purpose of handling new lines of
merchandise, Manager E. M. Sly
said, "Emphatically not. / know
it has been rumored that we are
contemplating putting in shoes,
clothing and dry goods, but there
is absolutely nothing to this ru-
NOR. The increase in capital was
not made for the purpose of car
rying any larger stocks or more
lines. The business will be con-
Quoted along the same lines as
we are following now. The only
possible addition, and that will
not materialize for
some time, is the installation of
a mill for grinding alfalfa and
grains for the manufacture of
chopped and mixed feeds and
plant for the manufacture of
spray material. There is a plant
OF this kind in successful opera
ton in Walla Walla and another
in Sunnyside and / believe it
could be made a valuable branch
of our business.
The changes will in no sense
detract from the cooperative
features of the company and
raising the limit of individual
stOckholdings does not mean that
we intend to have any fewer
stockholders-in fact / am of
the opinion that the change will
result in an increase in the num-
Der of farmer stockholders"

was represented at Tuesdays
meeting and the vote on the
changes was practically unani-

BODY OF UNKNOWN
man IN COLUMBIA
Brought to this City and Buried
and Later Exhumed at Re-
quest of Yakima Woman

The body of an unknown man
was found floating in an eddy of
the Columbia, last Friday by a
Irancher, near Coolidge. Under
taker l. N. Mueller was immed-
lately notified and the body re-
moved from the river and was
brought to this city Saturday
morning. The man was of med
ium heighth and build, Of rather
dark complexion, smooth shaven
and evidently about 45 years of
age. The body had evidently
been in the water about 80 days.
There was absolutely no clue by
which the mans identity could
be established. A few trinkets
and a wad of paper were the on
ly articles found in his pockets,
the only possible clue being the
trade mark of the Weigle Cloth
ing company, on his shirt, which
also bore a laundry mark. He
was dressed in a blue serge coat
and light checked trousers.
Thinking that the body might
possibly be that Of a Mr.. Miller,
Of Burbank, who mysteriously
disappeared from home in jan
uary, Mr.. Mueller at once COM
municated with friends of the
missing man who were convinced
that the body was not that of
Miller.
Owing to the badly decompos-
ed state of the body it was bur-
led Sunday morning in the local
cemetery but was exhumed Mon
day at the request of a Mrs. Lar
son, of North Yakima, who
thought the body might be that
of her son. The son left home
last December to come to this
part of the country in search of
work. His mother has had no
trace of him since. In general,
the description of the dead man
was that of the missing son, who
Mrs. Larson, said, purchased all
of his clothing of the Weigle
company. After viewing the
body, however, she was led to be-
lieve that it was not her son be-
cause of a dissimilarity in the
teeth.
