COMPARATIVE TESTS MADE
WITH EARLY POTATOES
Irish Cobbler Fails to Equal Earliest
of All in Production in the
Brue Patch

Owing to shortage Of some of the
more familiar varieties of early seed
potatoes last spring number of the
farmers planted for the first time a
new variety known as the Irish Cob
bier. This variety was represented to
be the equal Of the Earliest of All both
in quality and yield.
Some of the farmers at the sugges-
tion Of County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson, kept comparative data on
these two varieties and the results
show that the Earliest of All is by far
the heavier producer. Ole Brue kept
figures on two carefully measured
rows of these varieties. From the
Irish Cobbler he harvested 312 crates
and from the Earliest of All 511
crates. The two varieties were grown
in the same patch under exactly the
same conditions. The Earliest of All
yielded at the rate Of seven tons to
the acre.

FRUIT COMPANY OPENS HERE
A. F. Capenter & Company, of Yakima
Establish Branch i'm Collins Stand

A. F. Carpenter & Co., of North
Yakima, have rented the old Collins
warehouse on Front street and have
opened branch house in charge of
w. v. VanAlstyne. This firm has
been among the prominent cash buy
ers of fruit in the upper valley for
several years and are maintaining
braches at Zillah, Naches and Hanford.
Mr.. VanAlstyne, who was inspector
for the Kennewick- -Richland Market
ing Union during the strawberry sea-
SON, and was later placed in charge of
the early potato pool, has acquired a
large acquaintance among local grow
ers and it is the intention of the COM
pany to make the local branch perma-
nent, keeping it open the year around
if business will justify.

inently in the "top-notchers" in the

perfect title to his claim by one years
residence.

KENNEWICK LAD
WRITES FROM BORDER
Pat Mooney Says Scorpions are
Worst Enemies He Has Seen
and Snakes are Plentiful

P. L. Mooney, the Kennewick lad
who is with Company H, Second In
fantry of the Washington National
Guard, now on duty at the border, is
apparently taking kindly to military
life in spite of the hot rays of the
southern California sun.
Writing from Calexico to J. G. Kel-
,'ley, of this city, Mr.. Mooney says:
"I am in my tent taking it easy as
/ it is too hot to be outside. There GER
tainly isn't much excitement here just
now. There are 2250 Washington and
Oregon national guardsmen and 1900
regulars in camp, but it is reported
that three companies of coast artillery
are going to leave Wednesday.
"Across the border from us 1900
Mexican troops are encamped. They
have shown no hostility but they keep
an eye on us. They have light look
out and keep a man on it all the time.
We go down to the border every eve
ming after drill and listen to the Mex
lean band. This band was with Presi-
dent Diaz and they surely can play.
"Our daily schedule is about like
this: We have reveille at 4:15 in the
morning and at $500 we 60 to mess
and then from 6 to 8 we drill. At
11:00 o'clock we have dinner and mess
at 5 p. m. Between 6 and z in the eve
ming we drill again. At 7:15 retreat
is sounded and taps at 10 and then
our days work is over.
1--WE can hear the Mexican bugles
every morning. They have reveille at
8 o'clock and drill early. Yesterday
was Sunday and we had our regular
march. We were presented with three
Spanish American war flags by Mrs.
Fortune.
II don't know how long we will be
here. The report is that we will prob
ably be here about six months, but
don't think it will be more than three
or four.
"The worst looking enemies have
seen were two scorpions and the
snakes are so plentiful that we are
getting used to them"

years of practice here his work has
not been characterized so much by
spectacular trial ability as by thoro-
ness in detail and ready and definite
knowledge of the finer points of law.
His temperament as well as his ex-
perience and training make him par
ticularly fitted for judicial duties and
he will undoubtedly have strong fol-
lowing in this county.
There are four candidates in the ju-
dietary race, the other three being
John Truax, Of Ritzville; E. A, Davis,
of Pasco; and G. w. Hamilton, Of
Prosser.

TO HOLD A STOP
WATCH ON SPEEDERS
City Council Adds Official Timer
to Chief Copeland's Kit
of Tools

In addition to revolvers, billies,
handouts and other instruments of
torture which makes a policeman's
life interesting, Chief of Police Cope
land has fallen heir to stop watch
and hereafter will be on the lookout
for all speed artists.
The new traffic ordinance went into
effect yesterday morning and at the
same hour the city council purchased
a new stop watch and handed it to the
chief. The new ordinance fixes the
speed limit at Is miles an hour on
Second street between Washington and
Pacific and 18 miles on other city
streets.
In the Kennewick Garages Buick
with Jess Long at the wheel Stop
Watch Copeland made an official run
yesterday morning and he now knows
exactly how fast Is and 18 miles an
hour it. He will not forget it either,
because it is so easy to remember.
At Is miles an hour it takes 18 Sec
onds to run block and at 18 miles it
takes Is seconds.
By nature the chief has very mild
and he intends to handle
the autoists gently until they have
been warned a few times-then he is
going to step right out and begin fill
ing either the Jail or the city treasury
or both.

new WHEAT SELLING
AT HIGH PRICES
Some Farmers Contract for Sep
tember Delivery at Prices of
80 to Sc Cents

The first of the 1916 Horse Heaven
wheat crop was hauled into town this
week and already several lots have
been contracted by the Empire Grain
company for September delivery. This
company purchased $500 sacks yes
terday at prices ranging from 80 to
96 cents.
In speaking of the market condi-
tions r. E. Pratt, manager of the EN-
pire company said:
Ehe wheat market during the last
three weeks in the East has been ra-
ther q sensational affair. Owing to ru-
mors of rust in the spring wheat belt
and consequent predictions Of shorter
crops, speculation has been rampant
and very effective in forcing q big ad-
vance in futures. Crop conditions in
the Pacific Northwest have steadily
improved during that period and har-
vest has commenced. The advance in
price Of wheat on this coast has been
in sympathy with the East but only
about half as much. Tonnage on the
Coast is scarce and it now looks as if
most Of our wheat would go East and
that prices here would be, based on
that price less freight. Market very
unsettled fluctuations wide.
I'VE quote 80 to 96 cents for the
different grades at this time"

tion and requested those present to
sign petition asking that it be placed
on the ballot.
Following the talkfest, the Finley
ladies served a cafeteria lunch of sand
Wlches, cake and lemonade.
The discussion, which at times was
rather strenuous, never became violent
and the best of good feeling prevailed
tnruout Intervening. Undoubtedly the
session will do much toward clearing
up some Of the misunderstandings
which have existed between the busi-
ness men and the valley farmers.

ASK REPEAL OF
ORDINANCE NO. 1913.
Finley Changers Appear Before
City Council and Ask That
Action be Taken

As sequel to the meeting held last
Friday evening in the Finley Grange
hall, A. S. Goss, Jos. Gerards and G..
E. Cox appeared before the city coun-
Gil Tuesday evening and requested
the repeal Of that part Of ordinance
No. 1913 which prohibits the sale of
cream and butter from untested dairy
herds. The three men, who repre-
sented the Finley Grange, explained
that they were objecting only to that
part of the ordinance which would
prevent the sale of cream and butter
fat to the creamery and were not ask
ing the city to throw off any Of the
regulations placed on retail sale Of
milk. 2isa
Mayor Johnson asspred the grang-
ers that the administration would
hold the objectionable features Of the
ordinance in allegiance until after the
next session Of the legislature. This
however, did not satisfy them. They
insisted they did not want "the thing
hanging over our heads"
The matter was disposed Of by re-
ferring it to the ordinance committee.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Goss
said the farmers were determined to
have the butter provision Of the or
dinance repealed and that he intended
to arrange q conference with the or
dinance committee.
