When the leaves begin to fade
Nature dyes them quickly.
She supplants, with some bright shade,
Other hues more sickly.
So the woods are all aflame
To the deepest cover.
Nature Is a thrifty dame
Dyes the old leaves over.

Col John j. Dooley has recently
been elected director in the National

took place at the annual meeting held
in Jacksonville, Florida. Col. Dooley
was formerly chief of ordnance Of the
Maine National Guard, but resigned
some months ago because he was re-
moved from Portland to Boston, where
he now makes his home. The Col
Onel is known all over Maine and is

That some action should be taken
by the next Legislature to prevent
the wholesale slaughter Of deer from
automobiles is the belief Of some of
Dover Foxcroft's citizens who are
interested in the future of Maine as
game State and who are also well
acquainted with present conditions
in Piscataquis and Somerset counties"
says Lewiston Journal correspondent.
1T is asserted that hunting by auto
mobile Is now a popular sport among
those who desire to get a deer quick
ly and easily. The new highways
north Of Moosehead lake make this
easily possible. the auto hunters
merely riding to Greenville where
they transport their cars across the
lake and embark on the new roads,
which are excellent for cars. Riding
back and forth in either daylight or
darkness they sight plenty OF deer
which are easy victims to high pow
cred rifles. One man at the wheel
and the remainder Of the party armed
with high rifles, make the deer an
easy victim. Trips made over the
roads in the evening with electric
headlights dazzling the deer make
the killing of game very easy mat i
ter. The result il the wholesale
slaughter Of game on these roads and
at the present time there seems no
remedy under the present laws. Local
students Of the game question assert
that q wholesale slaughter Of deer is
taking place and that the chief bene-
fits come to the Moosehead steam.
boat owners, who are said to charge
p stiK price for the transportation OF
automobiles across the lake" Do not

Of your headlights. Chapter 40, Pub

Bangor is still clinging to the hope
that the Bangor customs district is to
be established, with the appoint
naent of collector, the hope resting on
the fact that the new quarters in the
new federal building in that city is be-
ing arranged and equipped for about a
full complement of customs officials
The hope seems slight, as it would be
a queer oversight in the arrangement
Of such fine building not to do just
as the government is doing. Deputy
Collector Pullen has for some time
been making collection of portraits of
former collectors to place in his office,
and has now all but four, and these
are expected to make the collec-
ton complete. A number were lost
in the big fire which burned the old
fashioned building. but the most of
these have been replaced.

WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JUNE IS, 1915
COUNCIL COMMITTEE TO
CONFER WITH CLEMENTS
City Will Probably Request That
Columbia Avenue be Oiled
From County Road Money

Whatever the city has to say about
the expenditure of Kennewick's share
of the county general road and bridge
fund, is to be said by the street and
alley committee, the matter having
been placed in their hands at the reg
ular meeting Of the council Tuesday
evening. The committee intends to
get into communication with County
Commissioner j. B. Clements and to
get the work started soon.
It is likely that the money will be
expended in oiling Columbia avenue
to connect with the Richland road.
Before the oiling can be started it
will be necessary for the city to do
some patch work on the surface. Au-
thority to do this work was given the
street and alley committee.

expressed the greatest faith in the
virtue Of the soil and climate and of
the need and good Of irrigation for the
lands and favored the organization of
the district. Attention was also call
ed to the fact that there should be the
greatest precaution in the selection of
the district directors that such an end
would be defeated to the best possible
extent. Upon such complaint it was
explained that the law provided who
,hould vote and who should not. "A
land owner who resides outside of the
counties containing the district has
no vote, and this would remove Sc
attic holders from this franchise.
The organization of the district will
place it wholly within the powers Of
the residents, and there can be no as
sessments or bonds levied unless they
so vote. It will also place the cost of
securing the district upon all lands
alike, and will not let some profit at.
the cost of others.

GOOD FERRY SITE AT
0.W. R. 8 \. BRIDGE
Commercial Club COnfers with
Church with View to Nov
ing the Ferry

Grant A. Stewart, A. F. Brown,
G. w. Sherk and E. w. Trenbath,
acting as a committee Of the Com
mercial club, went to Wallula Friday
to confer with w. D. Church as to the
possibilities Of moving his ferry to
some point nearer Kennewick.
In company with Mr.. Church they
came up the east bank Of the Colum-
bia and inspected the crossing between
Alfalfa and Hover and at the O-W.
r. & N. bridge. There is an ex-
cellent landing at Hover but shallow
water would make landing difficult
on the Alfalfa side. just below the
O-W. bridge there is apparently an
ideal crossing as regards currents and
approaches, but there IS some danger
of troublesome winds. The landing
on this side would be within half a
mile of the Kennewick- Finley highway
and there is a good road on the other
side into Wallula.
The. Alfalfa people are strongly in
favor of the lower crossing and are
investigating the probable cost Of
building a suitable approach on their
side; of the river. Although Mr..
Church is disposed to favor the idea
of moving he informed the committee
that he would not commit himself
TO any plan until he had thoroughly
investigated the proposed sites and the
possibilities for loss or increase Of
business.

ed to the public and was continuously
on the job until old age and the mar

FIRST PEACHES WERE
SHIPPED LAST FRIDAY
Box of Mayflowers is Sent to
Chicago by HI. H. Davis Co.
from Mann Orchard

Kennewick's peach harvesting sea-
son was ushered in last Friday, June
IL, when the H. H. Davis company
shipped the first box of Mayflowers
to Chicago. Sales Manager Chas. H
Collins made the distant shipment for
the purpose Of advertising Kenne-
wick's early ripening season and to
all Chicago buyers attention to the
fact that the Northwest's 1915 peach
crop was on.
The company has not yet received
returns from the box which was to
be sold at auction. The peaches came
from the orchard of w. T. Mann, on
the Highlands.
Since Friday peach shipments have
been steadily increasing and yester-
days receipts totalled about so boxes.
Growers were receiving 60 cents a
box.
Red and black raspberries and dew
berries have been in market for sew
eral days with receipts increasing rap
idly and apricots are expected in by
the first Of next week, q few ripe ones
having been picked YESTERDAY by W.
R. Weisel
Local buyers are rather reluctant
in making any predictions regarding
the peach market, but all are agreed
that the general trend Of prices will
be low.

TO A
FAMOUS ORCHARD
Horticultural Inspector Powell
Will Take Local Growers to
w. p. Sawyer's Ranch

District Horticulturalist Powell will
run an excursion from Kennewick,
Richland, Prosser and intervening
points over the O-W. R. & NJ, June
29th, to w. P. Sawyer's orchard in
Parker bottom.
Mr.. Sawyer is one Of the Oldest
and best fruit growers in the Yakima
Valley, part of his orchard he set out
90 years ago. He firmly believes in
alfalfa in the orchard and also the
proper pruning Of tree so that it
will carry it's own fruit without
breaking the limbs or the extra un-
necessary expense of supporting the
limbs with props, wires, etc. While
Mr.. Sawyer's soil and conditions are
not the same as many of Benton
county's growers are, he carries along
with his work certain principles rel
ative TO fruit growing, which every
grower should have. It is well worth
any fruit growers time to go up and
spend day and sit at Mr.. Sawyer's
feet and hear him talk on this SUBJ
ject. He is the man who fathered the
new horticultural law through the last
legislature.
There will be other successful fruit
growers from the Yakima valley at
this gathering.
Mr.. Powell will notify growers In
next weeks paper whether or not the
railroad will give special rates and
what trains the excursionists will
take.

ACCEPTS
SECOND STREET WORK
Final Payment is Made by City
and III. L. Wilson Company
Released from Contract

Second street is doing just what it
should do and exactly what we ex-
pected it to do" said E. C. Wilson to
the city council Tuesday evening, in
speaking Of the bleeding" Of the oil
macadam improvement. "A peculi-
arity of this kind of construction is
that the hot weather brings the oil
to the surface, where it should be.
When these bleeding spots are sanded
the oil is absorbed and there is form
ed what is known in road construc-
tion as seal coat. This bleeding will
continue to some extent during the
hot weather this summer, but will not
reappear again next summer"
This explanation was given by Mr..
Wilson at the regular meeting Of the
city council Tuesday evening, when the
question Of accepting the work and re-
leasing the H. L. Wilson company from
their contract, came up for consider
alton. The figures of the public im-
provement committee and the con-
tractors showed balance of $599.38
still due on the contract. Upon re-
commendation of the committee, the
council voted to accept the work and
to issue warrants in payment Of the
amount, less $40, which was retained
20 cover the cost Of sanding the
bleeding spots as they may appear
from time to time during the summer.
Regarding the so-called soft or dry
spots in the road where there seems
to be insufficient oil, Mr.. Wilson said
q oil was there and would be drawn
to the surface during the hot weather.
He suggestd that no attempt be made
to patch these spots, as he was con-
fident they would tighten up before
the summer is over.
