many times persons are at a loss t
know the reason, when in reality, jus
what have said has taken place.
1t is likewise extremely difficult worl
to accomplish good results when shippe
eggs are used, and unless it is impossi
bic to supply the eggs for incubation
yourself, never purchase them from
away. The chances are that they viii
not hatch after you get them.
In setting the hens in hot weather
great care must be taken to dust botl
/ them and the nesting material thor
oughly with some good insect powder
and place the nest in some good, COO
and secluded place. She should have ir
additional one or two good dustings dur.
ing the period of incubation, besides,
supply her with a good dust bath tc
WallOw in each morning when she comes
off for food Provide cool, fresh water
in abundance. | would suggest, if pos
sible, that where the hen is used for
Matching in the summer time, a vessel
containing water and another containing
food be placed in front of the box, on
either side where she can partake at
her will during the day. Remove this
at night. and in the morning let old
Biddy come off for her supply; thus al
lowing her exercise.
Remember, if you are going to hatch
during the summer, the hens must re-
ceive attention. Neglect means loss.
Where one feeding and one replenishing
drink of water will suffice during colder
weather, it will not be sufficient during
the hot summer days.
1t is necessary, too, that the little
chicks receive special care after they
are hatched. In order to keep them Wig
orOus and growing, they must be pro-
vided with well shaded runs, partica-
larly during the heat of the day. | don't
mean by this that they are to be ex-
cluded from all sunshine, for this is es-
sential. Nothing can thrive, grow well
and be healthy without some sunshine.
the hot sun of the day is in
furious and indeed deadly to young
chicks. Give them their portion of this
element in the mornings and
evenings when the suns rays are not so
hot Their coops and brood
ers too, must be we'll ventilated. The
heat necessary for their young bodies
must be regulated. Give them enough,
Dut not too much.
One of the best methods, where you
,an spare the time, is to train them to
lse the fireless brooders, as these are
he most successful for summer raising.
Keep all corn away from the chicks |
Turing the hot weather; as it is too |
leatinG. Give them plenty of good grain |
oOd. minus the corn, and keep grit and |
.harcOal in front of them continuously, |
ogether with green food and fresh |

upply them with q good growing mash |
ood in addition to the grain ration.
live this about three times a day for
he first week, after which it may be
ept in front of them constantly.
All summer hatched chicks should be
laced on large shady grass runs as soon
s possible after they are about four
r five weeks old. If these suggestions
re followed, and the conditions sur
Ounding yOu are favorable, l believe
nat you will find it profitable to raise
hicks the year around.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Don't force any of your pullets for
early laying if you intend to use them
for breeding purposes when they be-
come older. Breeders should never be
forced, but on the contrary, keep them
growing. A bird that lags in growth is
as equally unfit for breeding purposes
as one that is forced.

the boat to crossing between Hover
and Alfalfa. By changing the loca-
tion the ferrymen believe they will
not only obviate several miles of bad
road on the other side of the river but
will be able to get business they
could not expect at the crossing near
the .O-W. bridge.
Ever since the moving of the ferry
from Wallula the Hover people have
.contended that the Alfalfa Hover
crossing was the best one on the river.
w. d. Church refused to move to this
location because of the difficult land
ing on the Alfalfa side and the strong
river current. arrangements have
been made for dredging a good land
ing on the other side and Messrs.
Paullin & Bongard say they will have
no difficulty. in navigating the river
with their new boat. /.

KENNEWICK is
BEST LOCATION
in NORTHWEST
Largest Importer and Breeder
of PercherOn Horses in Amer
lea Opens Branch Here
DISTRIBUTE TOTHREE STATES
After Three Years Investigation the
Dunham Company Decides Best
Facilities are Here

After looking for three years for a
location for branch from which they
can satisfactorily distribute thruout
the states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, Dunham's Oaklawn Farm, of
Wayne, ILL.,, has selected Kennewick.
Dunham is the largest importer and
breeder of imported Percheron horses
in the United States and for three
years his company has. been selling
stations from a Northwestern branch
but not with entirely satisfactory re-
suits because of the problem of eco
nomic distribution. The branch was
first located at the Union Stockyards
at Portland, but this was too far west
for the Idaho, eastern Washington and
Oregon territory. Northwestern head
quarters We're then changed to Poca-
tello, Idaho, but this was too far east
for the Willamette Valley and west
ern Washington territory.
"We believe we have at last found
just the location we have been looking
for" said VIM. T. Tracy, branch man
anger. "Kennewick seems to be ideally
located to meet every demand Of our
business. Here we are centrally To-
Gated and can ship into one section of
the three Northwestern states as con-
veniently as into any other section.
When we sell horse we have the
choice Of three railroads and the riv-
er- In fact in one days travel we can
reach practically every point in our
,erritory. IF things work out here as
we confidently expect they will, this
branch will be permanent" (
Mr.. Tracy has rented the old Sham
'ock barn on Front street. The first
arload of fine stations left the Farm
n Illinois yesterday and is due to ar
i've here Monday or Tuesday Of next
week.

STOCK YARDS
ARCHITECT IS
GETTING DATA
Representative of Seattle-Port-
land Union Stockyards In
spects Local Site
is IMPRESSED WITH LOCATION
Cannot Authoritatively Say When
Work on Yards will Start-Is
Drafting Plans Now

Theobald Buchinger, architect fo,
the Seattle-Portland Union Stock.
yards company, is here this week from
Seattle for the purpose of collecting
data preparatory to drafting prelim-
mary plans for the new union stock
yards to be built in this city.
Mr.. Buchinger has been taking
measurements and making drawings
of the 5O-acre site which the company
recently purchased near the S., P. &
S. depot. After collecting all his data
the architect expressed himself as
highly pleased with the proposed To-
cation. Owing to the uniform slope
Of the land and its location between
the tracks of the three railroads, suit
able drainage and adequate shipping
terminal facilities will be easily pro-
vided for in the plans.
Mr.. Buchinger is not an official or a
stockholder in the company and could
not speak authoritatively as to when
work will start on the new yards. He
says all he knows was that he was in
structed to come here and compile suf-
ficient data from which to draw plans.
It had been the intention Of Mr.. Frye,
president of the company, to accom-
pany him, but he was prevented from
doing so because of other business de-
mands.
Not only was Mr.. Buchinger well
pleased with the proposed site from
an architectural standpoint but he was
favorably impressed with the advan-
tages Of Kennewick as location for
q large union stockyards. He studied
in detail the transportation lines lead
ing into this city from the livestock
sections Of the Northwest and the
lines out of here to the principal cities
and market centers.

Ton for Bartletts in Bulk
-JOnathans in Market

The pear grower is holding a close
second to the wheat rancher in the
matter Of high prices. Altho dealers
point to lower prices in the East as
evidence that the top has been reached
the local market is holding firm at
$1.50 box or $50 ton in bulk to
the grower.
Mondays New York market sales
amounted to more than Il cars of
Bartletts fully ripe, and the market
was reported strong and the average
$3.15 per box. Auction sales in Chi
cago yesterday ranged around $2.95 a
box.
The bulk Of the local pear crop will
have been marketed by the end of the
week, all of the five local concerns
having been shipping in carload lots.
For the most part local growers are
disposing of their pears in bulk. Five

MUCH JOCKEYING
FOR COMMISSIONER
Each Neighborhood of District
No. 3 Has Favorite Son
in the Race

Local political interest this week
has centered around the office of coun-
ty commissioner from this district.
With but two more days left in which
to file, Ed. Zimmerman, of Richland,
is the only candidate legally in the
race. Mr.. Zimmerman is democrat
and the republican ticket is still a
blank:
In the republican ranks the contest
is not so much between men as be-
tween districts. Richland, the High
lands, the Section Seven district and
Finley each have their sfavorite" son
and as yet none have shown DISPOSE
tion to get out of the way for the other
fellow. As the situation now stands
the city of Kennewick will hold the
balance of power and it is this factor
that is bothering the candidates and
their supporters. For the most part,
the city voters are noncommital as to
their preference for any Of the pro-
posed candidates.
Those who are figuring most prom
inently in the preliminaries are Cor
don Moores, of Richland; E. o. Keene
of the Highlands; c. E. Lum, of the
Valley and c. E. Cox, of Finley. Dur
ing the week the districts have made
several unsuccessful efforts to get to-
gether. As the situation now stands,
with the Kennewick vote an unknown
quantity, no one district can figure
that it has any decided advantage over
the other, and each district is desir-
Gus of effecting compromise and
joining forces with some of the other
districts.
So far, Jas. X. Hawkins, of the
is sharing all the legisla-
tive honors. He hasn't an opponent
in either the primaries or the general
election. 1t is understood, however,
that j. B. Clements, who is in Pros
ser attending meeting Of the coun-
" commissioners, will file for the
nomination before Satur-
lay evening. Grant Stewart, who
vas expected home from the northern
,art of the state, has not yet arrived
'ut will probably be heard from be-
ore the last, of the week.
County Engineer T. j. Wright is
formulating more company on the
epublican ticket. Guy n. Heberling,
f Prosser, and Robt. @. Macmahon,
f the Highlands, have both filed for /
he nomination. Mr.. Heberling was I
efeated by Mr.. Wright two years ago /
9th at the primary and the general g
lection. Mr.. Macmahon, since COM c

but has a good record to

ATTALIA MAKES
GOOD AS A HOST
Sixteen Automobile Loads of
Kennewick People Visit the
Town Across Columbia

| From standpoint of getting &C
quainted and bringing two neighbor
ing communities into pleasant socia
relations the Kennewick-Attalia get
together affair held in the Walla Wal
la county town was splendid sue
cess. Sixteen automobiles, carrying
eighty Kennewick men and women
made the trip and every visitor came
home with high praises for the hospi-
tally of the Alfalfa people.
Altho the attendance at the dinner
was far greater than had been ex-
pected, the good women of Alfalfa
were not taken unawares and there
was an ABUNDANCE Of yellow-legged
chicken, homegrown potatoes. beans,
corn, cucumbers and all the other
trimmings for a frst-class banquet.
In all nearly four hundred people were
fed. 2s
Because Of the large crowd speech
making at the banquet table was inn
possible but after the last of the Wis
itors had been banqueted the crowd
was rounded up in the dining room of
the hotel and greetings were exchang-
ed by speakers representing the two
communities. R. R. Proudfoot acted
as POSTMASTER and the address of well
come was delivered by E. L. Hough-
ton. Responses were made for Ken
newick by E. M. Sly and A. R. Card
ner. All of the speakers emphasized
the fact that altho the two towns
were in different counties their in
terests were largely the same. All
predicted that now that new means
Of communication had been estab-
Iished between the two towns trade
and social relations would be built up
in manner that would prove bene-
fetal to the two communities.
Edward Levy, Of Chicago, who is
1isiting relatives in Alfalfa, paid a
nigh tribute alike to the people of At
;alia and Kennewick. He expressed a
irm belief in the future possibilities |
If the Columbia River valley and said
hat he may decide to make his per-
nanent home along the banks of the
.reat river.
After the banquet the more frivil-
'us of the Kennewick visitors were
at dance which like the
pening function of the evening was
by whole-souled hos
'itality on the part of the hosts and
n evident desire of the guests to full
y enjoy themselves.
Owing to the fact that the automo-
lie caravan missed the right road
ONE of the machines were crippled,
ut the damage to none Of them was
reat. The ferry was taxed to the
init and the last cars did not arrive
ONE until dawn was breaking, but
one Of these minor details, which
vere not a part Of the regular pro-
ram, detracted materially from the
leasure of the trip.

RICHLAND STORE
ROBBED SUNDAY
Goods Valued at Several Hun
dred Dollars are Carried Off
During the Night

Richland-For the second time il
less than a year the general mer
chandise store of H. F. Yedica ans
company was broken into by burg
lars Sunday night. Entrance was
gained thru a window in the rear o,
the building, the robbers using thi.
means of egress to carry out theil
plunder as we'll.
About $4,000 in shoes, overalls
knives and gloves were stolen. The
men were extremely bold, entering
the stable of Wheelhouse & Wheel
house and taking their horse and
wagon and using them to drive out
of town with the spoils. The horse
and wagon were found in the morn:
ing abandoned in Kennewick.
Mr.. Yedica is out of town but his
chief assistant, Otto Haieusen immed-
lately notified the sheriff's Office of the
robbery and Sheriff C. E. Duffy has
been on the job continuously ever
since and has several good clues which
he is following up. To date no one
has been arrested in connection with
the affair. About a year ago when the
big haul was made from the Richland
postoffice the Yedica store was en-
tered but not much taken at that time.
When seen at Hotel Kennewick this
morning, Sheriff Duffy said he had yet
been unable to find any trace of the
stolen goods. He is confident that the
rig was used more as a
blind than as means of carrying
away the goods. By piecing together
fragmentary evidence it seems very
probable that the robbers made their
getaway in a boat and that the loot
was carried to Pasco.
Working upon this theory Sheriff
Duffy, assisted by s. C. Overstreet,
special officer for the N. P. railroad,
and the sheriff's Office of Franklin
county, has made several searches in
oasco. The Chinese and negro quar-
ers were both closely searched but
lone of the missing articles found.
Sheriff Duffy is working along the riv-
r today in the hope that he may find
ONE trace of the boat.
