MUST PLAY THE
GAME FAIRLY
Secretary of Fruit Exchange
II Scores Some of Growers for
Their Dishonesty
SELLING ORGANIZATION
HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING
Has Done $97, 1000 Business on Capital
of $360-No Complaints from
Its Members

It's MEMBERS
Starting business last March
with an actual cash capital of
$500, the Fruit Exchange, to the
first. day of January, did a busi-
ness of $97, 900, $70,O25 Of which
was paid the growers of the val
ley for their products, and came
out on the right side of the led
ger. These are some interesting
facts taken from the report of
Secretary w. r. Crawford as
submitted to the stockholders of
the Exchange at the annual
meeting Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Crawford prefaced the
tabulated part of his report with
a brief review of the organiza-
tion and activities of the Ex-
change. He pointed out the nu-
merous handicaps which had
confronted it this year that
would not be encountered next
year.
To the man who packs funk"
in the bottom of his crates and
boxes and attempts to sell it as
fruit, Mr.. Crawford paid his
compliments in no uncertain
language. "Not a few growers"
he said, "unmindful of their best
interests as individuals and the
reputation which the Exchange
sought to establish, and the fact
that for the first time in the his
tory of this valley, opportunity
was offered to cooperate in an
earnest endeavor to establish
and maintain a "K" brand of
their own that would create a
demand for Kennewick grown
products thereby contributing
to. the advertising and upbuild-
ing of this, their own community,
were not at all bashful in taking
advantage of every opportunity
offered by an inadequate inspec-
tion service, to put one over on
the Exchange every time they
could, through dishonest pack
ing and dishonest branding of
their products.
81 suppose there were some
who entertained the erroneous
opinion that they had better get
what they could, and all they
could, while the getting was good
while others were just naturally
endowed with a grating dispo-
sition which would prevent their
being honest even though they
desire to be.
"These crooks have got to be
sought out and branded so that
such shameful practices in the
future can be reduced to a min
imum, if the Exchange is to sue
ceed and enjoy a normal growth
and an enviable reputation for
distributing honestly packed and
honestly branded products"
In speaking Of the annual
meeting Mr.. Crawford said. "The
meeting was most harmonious.
Every action taken was unani-
nous and there was not one COM
plant voiced against our sys-
tenn Of marketing or the service
we rendered the growers last
year."
The meeting which was held
in the Commercial Hotel hall was
largely attended by local stock
holders with only small repre-
sentation from the Richland con-
I,tingent. r. McGhan, of Richland
and w. H. Allison were elected

CITY CLERKS OFFICE HOURS
Mrs. Soth Will Keep Office Open Each
Day From 1880 Till 2:30

Until spring at least, City
Clerk Mrs. M. E. Soth will be in
her office at the city hall each
day from 1890 p. m. until 2::3O
D. m. The Office is to be kept
open during half of the noon
hour for the accommodation of
those who do not find it conven-
lent to call during the business
hours of the day. 1t is probable
that during the spring and sum-
mer months these hours will be
slightly changed.
The registration books are
now open for the new year and
all voters, whether they were
registered last year or not, must
register again before they are
eligible to vote in any elections

TAYLOR LAD LOSES TOE
He Thought Weapon was Unloaded
and Pulled the Trigger

Another "unloaded" gun was
discharged last Saturday and as
a result Linn Taylor, son of Mr..
and Mrs. D. L. Taylor is minus
the third toe of the right foot.
Young Taylor, with some other
boys, was examining the gun at
his fathers home at the time of
the accident. Linn, thinking the
weapon, a 16-guage shotgun, was
unloaded, pressed the muzzle
against his toe and pulled the
trigger. The charge made a
clean cut and no injury other
than the loss of the toe was sus-
tanned by the lad.

ROAD BIDS NEXT MONTH
Commissioners Accept Plans and Or
der Auditor to Advertise for Bids

Through the quick work of the
good roads committee of the
Commercial club a months time
has been gained in the building
of the Kennewick- Finley state
highway. Instead of the question
coming up for consideration at
the February meeting of the
county commissioners, bids for
the construction of the highway
will be opened at that time and
the contract let.
The new specifications which
embody the wishes of the good
roads committee were accepted
by the commissioners this week
and the county auditor was in
structed to call for bids.

Benton county is to be repre-
sented at the Panama-Pacific
exposition by an exhibit favora-
bly, located in the center of the
Washington building. Plans for
the exhibit have been worked out
by Mr.. Silliman, of Prosser, who
will be sent to San Francisco to
place it. The exhibit will be in
the nature of a corn palace with
the walls hung with photographs
and advertising matter of the
different districts of the county.
Kennewick has been allotted two
spaces 2x4 feet for advertising
Of its own designing and among
the photographs that will adorn
the other spaces will be many
Kennewick scenes.
A few suitable photographs
have already been collected but
many more will be needed from
Kennewick. The work of collect
ing these photographs has been
delegated to .. M. Sly by the
Commercial club and any person
having pictures of suitable
scenes are requested to leave
them with Mr.. Sly or at the
Courier-Reporter office.
In writing to urge that Kenne-
wick send more photographs
County Agriculturalist says:
"In going over the plans and
material for the Benton county
exhibit to be sent to San Francis
co, we find that we need more
material, particularly pictures.
The frame for the exhibit, to
be shipped in panels and set up
down there, has been completed
by Mr.. Silliman and the County
Grange has decided to send Mr..
Silliman with the exhibit. The
center of the Washington build
ing was secured for the Benton
county exhibit. The frame and
plans as worked out will certain
ly present a striking display in
that location in the building if it
is complete. What we need now
is pictures and any other such
advertising material that will fill
out the walls of this frame. The
Prosser Commercial club has Sc
cured a collection of pictures.
Will you not take the matter up
with the Kennewick Commercial
club and see if that organization
will not secure pictures from the
photographer or elsewhere, of
the town, farm scenes, school
houses, hog excursions or any
thing of the sort"

NO CITY MONEY
FOR THE LIBRARY
All of Taxes Required to Pay In
terest and Meet Fixed Mum
icipal Expenses


President w. p sOsgood and
Vice President C. D. Rarey, of
the Kennewick Library associa-
tion called upon the city council
Tuesday evening and requested
a continuance of the city's ap-
preparation of $17.5O a month.
Mr.. Osgood explained that this
appropriation had enabled the
association to make the library
free to everybody instead of to
members only and urged that it
be continued for another year.
Although several members of
the council voiced their approval
of the plan it is probable that the
appropriation will not be made
this year because Of the lack of
funds. At the time the annual
budget was made UP the appro-
priation was eliminated because
the councilmen found that the
maximum tax levy of 10 mills
would hardly take care of the in
terest payments and fixed ex-
penses of the city. The library
matter however, was not finally
disposed of but will be taken up
for further consideration at the
next meeting.

EXCHANGE ADOPTS
new BERRY CRATE
HallOcks Will Contain Full Pint
but will be Deeper Than the
Ones Used Last Year

At its annual meeting Monday
the Fruit Exchange adopted a
new strawberry crate which is
intended to more fully meet the
wishes Of the Kennewick grow
ers and the requirements Of the
Kennewick strawberry. Much
complaint was voiced against
the full pint standard crate used
last year. The dimensions of
the hallocks were such as to
make packing extremely difficult
and unsatisfactory. AS a result
the growers clamored for the old
short quart hallock which was
especially adapted to the Kenne-
wick berry.
AS the state law provides that
the berries shall be marketed
in either full-pint of full-quart
hallocks the Exchange has
sought to reconcile the state law
and the Kennewick growers by
adopting a hallock that holds a
full pint but is slightly deeper
than the one used last year. In
order to do tis, special arrange
ments have been made with one
of the veneer mills on the coast
to supply the Exchange with
specially cut material. The new
crate is to be a double-decked
one and the crate proper will be
made of sawed pine instead of
spruce veneer as proposed ear
lier in the season. AS a rule the
difference in cost between the
sawed and the veneer crate is
two cents. But owing to econ
omy in manufacture, the Ex-
change will supply the crates
this year at 19 cents each which
is but one cent more than the
cost of the single-deck crate used
last year.
The new crate will necessitate
the building of new carriers to
conform to the new dimensions
of the hallocks.
The Exchange and the Kenne-
wick Fruit & Produce company
are now working out the details
for the manufacture of the
crates locally.

k.E. 8 ?. co. TO
BUY CREAMERY
To Purchase Local Plant and OPP
crate it as Part of their
Mercantile Business
DAIRYBiEN ARE TO TAKE
STOCK IN CORPORATION
Cow Men Will also be Asked to Con-
tract to Deliver Their Cream
to the Home Plant

Plans for taking over the local
creamery by the Kennewick
Fruit & Prudoce company have
now been practically matured
and it is probable that next
month the transfer Of the pro-
perty will be made and the oper-
alton begun by the purchasing
company.
Operation of the plant on the
present cooperative basis has
not been successful for the, rea-
son that many Of the dairymen
of the valley have refused to take
stock in the company and have
been shipping their cream to
city creameries. This is es-
pecially true of the dairymen
around Richland nearly all of
whom have been sending their
cream to Tacoma.
The step of the Fruit & Pro-
duce company has been taken at
the earnest solicitation of many.
of the dairymen who are stock
holders in the two companies.
When the proposition was first
put up to them, Manager e. M.
Sly and the directors of his COM
pany refused to consider it. La
ter, however, they consented to
take over the creamery provided
the dairymen would subscribe
and pay for $1,000 worth of stock
in the Fruit & Produce company
and bind themselves to deliver
their cream to the local plant
for at least one year. It is un-
derstood that these require
ments have been met and that
the deal will be made. The plan
does not contemplate the merg-
ing of the two companies. The
creamery is to be purchased out
right by the Fruit & Produce
company and operated as a part
of it's mercantile business.
In speaking Of the proposed
deal, Mr.. Sly said, "Our company
has. consented to purchase the
creamery because we believe its
operation is necessary to the
continued and future success of
the dairy industry of the valley.
The creamery was a failure un-
der private management because
the majority stockholders were
non-residents and did not have
the interests of the valley at
heart. Under cooperative man
agement it has not been a sue
cess because Of poor patronage
and lack of working capital. At
one time fully half of the cream
was supplied by Richland dairy
men. Since the reorganization
nearly the entire output of the
Richland dairy farms has been
shipped to Tacoma. At a meet
ing in Richland Saturday the
dairymen voted unanimously in
favor Of our company's purchas-
ing the plant and every man pre-
sent agreed to contract to de-
liver his cream to us for at least
one year.
with the increased capital
we have asked for, I am conf
dent our company will have no
difficulty in successfully handling
the business and in so doing l
believe we will be doing a good
thing for the valley"

New City Council Passes Res0-
luton Declaring Its Inten-
tiOn to Oil
J, FROM WASHINGTON TO
" THE KENNEWICK HOTEL
Plans Contemplate Grading, Gravel
ing and Oiling-Six Councilmen
For It - One Against

After being officially sworn in,
and becoming comfortably set
tied on the aldermanic cushions,
Kennewick's new city council
Tuesday evening, lost no time in
setting in motion the machinery
which is to carry out the pre-
election promises of Mayor Rich
ardson and the four new council
men. One of the first official acts
of the new body was to pass a
resolution of intention to i'm
prove Second street from Wash
milton to Pacific street. The res
olution sets forth that the street
shall be improved by grading,
graveling and oiling to a hard
surface and instructs the public
improvements committee to pre-
pare plans and specifications.
The entire cost of the proposed
improvement is to be assessed
against the abutting property
back to the alleys on either side
Of the street. Monday evening,
dinance the mayor said the de-
January 25 is set as a date for
hearing complaints against the
improvement.
Councilman Sercombe, one of
the three hold-over members of
the council protested vigorously
against the resolution and re-
corded both his voice and vote
in opposition to the proposition.
Upon his demand the vote on the
resolution was taken by roll call
which resulted in the other six
councilmen voting for it and
Mr.. Sercombe against it.
In his message to the council
Mayor Richardson recommended
the passage of an ordinance that
would permit the street work to
be done by force account rather
than by contract. AS grounds
for recommending such an or
dinance the mayor cited the de-
lay necessitated by calling for
bids would be obviated and the
work could be put under way be-
lore spring and labor furnished
70 many local people during the
quiet months. City Attorney c.
3. Hamlet informed the, council
tnat such an ordinance would
conflict with the state law which
provides that bids must be called
Tor all work where the expendi-
ture amounts to $500 or more.
The mayor also recommended
fSlat the salary of the street
commissioner be reduced from
$so to $65, in keeping with the
reouctions recently made in the
o.ner salaried jobs. The city
attorney was instructed to pre-
pare such an ordinance and SUBJ
