SEND SICK MAN TO KIN
ON ISLAND OF TRINIDAD
s. Mott, of Hover, to be Transported
to Home of Relatives at the
COunty's Expense

S. Mott, of Hover, who because Of i'll
health, has been a county charge for
the greater part Of the last two years,
is to be sent to his relatives on the
island of Trinidad at the expense Of
the county.
Having learned that Mr.. Mott had
relatives on that island who were will
ing to take care Of him, but who are
not financially able to send him trans
portation, the county commissioners
at their last meeting decided that to
send him to his kin would not only be
a humanitarian act but that it would
save the taxpayers money.
BY vote of the board Commissioners
Alex McNeill was authorized to ar
range for transportation, board en-
route and clothing for Mr.. Mott, the
total expense not to exceed $15O.

COMMUNITY TREE
EARLY XMAS EVE
Open-Air Program will be Given
Early in Evening before the
= Church Exercises Start

The community Christmas tree was
almost showed under at the regular
meeting of the Commercial club Tues
day evening. Rev. w. p. Osgood, re-
porting for the committee composed of
representatives of the churches, said
it was impossible to have the commun-
ity tree on Christmas Eve without
its conflicting with exercises in some
of the churches unless the community
program was given early in the eve-
ming.
After great deal Of discussion the
club voted to leave the matter of time
in the hands of the committee. Then
motion was, introduced to abandon
the community tree this year and take
it up next year in time to prevent con-
flicting dates. After this motion was
lost by, one or two votes, Geo. w.
Sherk put new life into the PROPOSE
tion by declaring that he was strong
for the Christmas tree; that Kenne-
wick had a reputation for carrying
out the things it undertook; and that
the abandonment of the tree idea was
not to be thought of. Upon motion Of
Mr.. Sherk the committee was re-
quested to go ahead with plans for
Christmas Eve with the understand
ing that the Commercial club would
lend every possible assistance.
Chas. H. Collins, the clubs repre-
sentative on the committee, said this
morning that plans for the big tree
were progressing nicely. Manager r.
C. Mounsey, of the Tum-A-Lum, has
ordered the tree which is due to ar
rive this week, while the P. p. & L.
company has ordered special decorat-
ing material and the employees at the
local plant are drafting plans for its
illumination.
The tree will be erected at the in
tersection of Second and Yakima
streets. The exercises will begin
promptly at 6:45 Christmas Eve and
will close at 7:45 in time for all who
wish to attend the church exercises.
Mr.. Collins urges everybody who can
sing, even little bit, to be present
to help sing several of the old favor
ite carols and songs, the words of
which will be printed and distributed
among the crowd.
Santa Claus will be there with big
fat bag of candy for every one OF the
kiddies.

DAIRY EXPERT WILL
BE HERE MONDAY
DR.. Kalkus, of State College will
Give Demonstrations at
Local Dairy Ranches

Local dairymen will undoubtedly
welcome the announcement that Lee
M. Lampson, County Agriculturalist,
has arranged series Of demonstra-
tions on the prevention of contagious
abortion among dairy herds. The
demonstrations will be conducted by
DR.. Kalkus, of the extension depart
ment of the state college, Monday,
December 20.
The program has been so arranged
that it will be possible for every dali
ryman in the district to attend with
out inconvenience. The first demon
stration will be given at the farm OF
N. C. Bowles at 9:30 a. m, the second
at Ed. Sellick's at 10:45 and the third
at 2:30 p. m. at the home Of G. M
Annis of this city.

the Northern Pacific railway company
is ready to finance the building Of the
Yakima High Line which will irrigate
thousands of acres of land between
this city and North Yakima, just as
soon as the officials of the company
can be convinced that there would be
settlers for the lands.
Greetings from the North Yakima
Commercial club were presented by
Secretary Harrader, who said his club
stood always ready to cooperate with
Kennewick in any undertaking intend
ed for the general development of the
valley.

Lampson said, 'It has not been. an
easy matter to get DIR. Kalkus' as
sistance for these meetings, conse-
quently it is hoped that every person
in the district, directly or Indirectly
interested in the dairy business, will
not fail to attend these demonstra-
tions. Very little extra effort on the
part of every dairyman in getting
this information and making use of
it now will save serious blow to the
dairy business and loss Of great
deal of money in the business in a
very short time"

CHURCH'S JUICE
WON TWO MEDALS
Local Company has Received Of
fetal Notice of Highest Award
at the San Diego Fair

The Church Mfg. Co., Of this city,
received official notice this week that
Church's Grape Juice was awarded not
one, but two medals this year in Cal
ifornia. The second medal was won
at The Panama California exposition
in San Diego. This announcement
came to Manager M. H. Church as a
complete surprise as his company did
not install display at San Diego un-
til several months after the exposi-
tion had opened and he was not aware
that his product had been entered in
competition for the award.
AS one of the gold medal winners
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition the
local company has been asked to send
exhibits to the gold medal shows to
be held in the Coliseum in Chicago
and Madison Square Garden, early
next year. Mr.. Church is undecided
whether or not his company will par
ticipate in these shows.
In speaking of the growth Of the To-
cal business, Mr.. Church said it is no
longer question of disposing of the
juice but of securing enough grapes
for its manufacture. From present
indications he estimates that there will
not be more than half enough grapes
in the Columbia and Yakima valleys
to meet the companys needs next year.
Little or no new vineyards are being
planted and shortage Of raw mater
ial is already becoming a serious
problem with the local industry.
Mr.. Church says the demand for
Church's Grape Juice is steadily in
creasing. Outside of the local terri
tory it is being handled by dealers
under contracts which specify that
those dealers will handle the Kenne-
wick juice exclusively.

CUT ORDERED in J.
LIGHTING RATES
FOR RESIDENCES
Long Expected Decision in Pa
cific Power & Light Com
pany Case is Received
IRRIGATION MEN ARE HELPED
Public, Service Commission Orders Re-
ductions Over Entire System
Court Action Probable

The state Public Service commission
Wednesday handed down decision
ordering reductions Of Is to 80 per
cent in the residential lighting rates
charged by the Pacific Power & Light
company. The reductions apply to all
towns served by the company in the
state. Irrigation power users are to
pay for the acting load instead of the
connected load, and not for either in
stallation or maintenance and the
company is ordered to prepare a def
mite schedule for all large power
users.
The decision does not affect indus
trial power or commercial lighting,
but simply irrigation power and resi-
Dental lighting. Kennewick's pres
ent rate of 1873 per kilowatt hour for
the first 80 kilowatts is ordered re-
duced to 10 cents per kilowatt hour
for the first 60 kilowatts. The same
rate is ordered for Pasco, Toppenish,
Sunnyside, Dayton and Pomeroy. In
these cities the present rate ranges
from 1873 to 11.25.
In North Yakima and Walla Walla
the rate is fixed at 81a cents for the
first 60 kilowatts, cents for the next
go and cents for all above 120. The
present rate is 10 cents for the first
30 and cents for all over 80 hours.
At Granger, Grandview, Wapato,
Mabton, Richland Waitsburg and Zil-
lah the rate is fixed at IL cents per
kilowatt hour and at White Bluffs,
Beverley, Benton City, Kiona, Ringold,
Wahluke and Dixie the rate is IL
cents. The minimum is fixed at $1.00
per month.
The decision also covers discrimina-
tion between the large and small u.s.
ers of electrical power, the commission
ordering a discontinuance of special
reduced rates to large consumers.
The decision was unanimous, being
signed by Commissioners Reynolds
Lewis and Spinning.
Perhaps the most radical change is
in the irrigation rate as the mainten-
ance and installation charges have
been eliminated and the users are to
be charged on the basis of active load
instead of connected load. Connected
load means the full horsepower of the
machine while the active load means
the horsepower actually used.
The Public Service commissioners
estimate that the new schedule will
produce an immediate revenue of 81
per cent on the power company's in
vestment. In making their estimate
they accepted without change the val
uation fixed by their engineer, Mr..
Phipps, of $4,700,000 for the entire
system.
1t is probable the power company
will carry the matter to the courts.

GROWERS VOTE TO
STICK TOGETHER
Sentiment at Richland is Unani-
nous in Favor of One Con-
troll for the Strawberries

Richland, December 15-A large and
enthusiastic crowd of strawberry
growers attended the mass meeting
last Saturday in the Richland high
school building. Frank E. Sickles, of
the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers as
sociation, was present to outline the
policy of the association in regard to
a local cooperative union Of the Rich
land and Kennewick strawberry grow
ers and gave most interesting and
instructive talk. Incidentally, he said
that the association had never hand
led the strawberries but that they had
been handled entirely thru the local
members of the association who were
also local growers. He stated that
the association would not be at all
averse to a cooperative association
of the Richland growers provided they
all got together and formed sub
stantial marketing union.
Growers representing close to lao
acres of strawberry land were pres
ent at this meeting, or about 85 per
cent of the land devoted to their cul-
ture while a number of Kennewick
business men came along to help the
good work, among them being Messrs.
L. E. Johnson, A. R. Gardner, E. M.
Sly, H. A. Bier, M. M. Moulton G. E.
Tweedt and E. A Knerr. Lee Lamp
son was also deeply interested visit
or.
T. j. Chalcraft was chosen chair
man of the meeting and Carl Willis
secretary, after which a general dis
cussion took place with the result that
the greater part of the attendance ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of a local
union. Several growers were in IA
vor of remaining with the associa-
ton but felt that it would be impos-
sible to market in this way without
friction.
A committee composed of A. L. Mel
son, B. T. Simmons, James Kaas, J.
Erickson, Roy Gardner, H. E. Comp
ton and F. A. Friermood was appoint
ed to arrange for the permanent or
ganization and also to act as body
to pass on the rules and grading OF
all berries marketed thru the local
union. All the interested growers
present at the meeting signed up as in
favor of the home association and
the only thing left is to get busy, or
ganize and make business of selling
the famous Richland strawberries to
the best market for the highest price

Mesdames Harry Miller, H. E. Comp
