ed the word cleft" for fright"
but the wording was copied verbatim,
so Kennewick's traffic ordinance now
reyerses the rules of the road in use
elsewhere. 1t really doesn't matter
much, however, for it is not very Of
ten that two vehicles happen to ap-
proach the same corner at the same
fine in Kennewick. It is not nearly
so serious as if it had happened in
Finley. KIN.
A most considerable coyote called at
Joe Gerards' house the other morning
and took off a hen with him, but he
saved the feathers and left the egg
nicely perched on top of the pile.

day, August IL. ...,...-.. .s
The next Grange meeting will be

Young Billy Weston; who claims to
be the champion walker of the world,
called at this office last Sunday en-
route from Kepnewick to Richland.
He is walking from st. Paul to San
Francisco on $5000.00 wager, fol-
lowing the Yellowstone trail, and was
considerably chagrined to find that
the shortest route from Kennewick to
Richland did not lie via Finley. He
had some remarkable walking records,
all attested and sworn to, among
which were one mile in six minutes
and forty-four seconds and seventy
two miles in ten hours. The way he
lit out of here on his return trip when
he discovered he was headed for st.
Paul again, led us to believe these re-
cords genuine. In telling of the route
he had followed, he said he took six
bottles of beer with him when he left
Montana. "You'll have long, dry
Journey before you reach California =
we remarked. ooh, that won't bother
me-you see, I'm an Elk" he replied
with as much assurance as if he had
announced that he was camel.

tracks of a new HINT. in the neigh

wheel tracks turning in at the same
gate down along the east line of sec

Pomona meeting is announced for

miles west of Prosser.

We have another one on the Ken
newick council and no one has ever
accused us of knowing something and
not telling it. Three or four weeks
ago they passed traffic ordinance
providing that vehicles going in
northerly or southerly direction had
the right of way at street intersec-
lions over vehicles going in an east
erly or westerly direction; but on read
ing the comments on this provision in
the Live Wire Sparks, this section was
changed and the wording followed as

Valuable Chinese Coins.

An American, who recently arrived
in Picking from the far interior OF Chi.
ma. had with him when he reached Pc.
king a string of copper coins with
holes through the center such as he
had been using on his journey. The
whole string, two feet in length. was
deemed to be worth about ten or fif.
teen cents, for the coins were only
the ordinary cash" in current use In
the province of Shensi, from which the
traveller came; but upon examination
by a member of the American legation
who knows the Chinese language 1t
was found that some bore the marks
of emperors as far back as the year
2S4 B. c. On the string were cash"
representing every reign since the be-
ginning of the Ching dynasty. many
of the Ming dynasty. and even the
dynasties that precede the latter.

The weekly newspaper produces the
interest in the town in which it is
published to such an extent that it
becomes impossible to place an esti
mate upon it's worth. There is no en-
terprise that does so much for the
corporation or the individual citizen
as the paper. 1t stands opposed to
the town knocker, the town kicker,
the town fanatic and the town drones.
1t stands for progress as against stag
nation. 1t is ever ready to combat
the schemes of Missionaries and as
ready to aid the construction plans of
wise and level-headed citizens. 1t is
for the upbuilding of the community
The paper has not yet come to it's own,
however, because it is never appreci-
ated to the extent Of it's worth by the
people at large. Yet when battles are
to be fought for town or country a
rush is made to the newspaper office
always to find the loyal editor ready,
frequently without hope of reward.
Many other enterprises are encour-
aged by a bonus, but rarely is the
newspaper offered any such help and
still more often not given the support
it is entitled to. Communities fire.
Quently lose sight of their benefactor
when they fail to recognize the weekly
journal as such. The editor and his
paper stand as bulwarks of defense
against the attacks of evil or designing
schemes affecting the good of the in
dividual or town. For these and other
reasons the newspaper, town and coun-
try, should receive the support of the
public at large in very liberal de-
gree, for it is really the most impor-
tant business enterprise of the COM
munity.-Chicago Tribune.

Former Punta Gordan Writes
About Trip to Puerto Rico

Frederick w. Howard of Kin
derhook, n. Y, former resident
of Punta Gorda, after spending
the winter on the island of Puerto
Rico, writes Interestingly about
conditions as he found them
there, particularly in the growing
of grapefruit, oranges and pine
apples, crops in which Florida ex-
cells. Following extracts taken
from Mr.. Howard's s letter will be
of interest to Herald readers:
"My first visit to this tropical
possession of Uncle Sam has been
delightful, interesting, informing
and altogether indescribable. A
few words, however, would suf-
flee to assure the South Florida
growers of fine oranges and pine
apples that they need have no
present fear of hurtful competi-
ton from Puerto Rico in the pro-
duction of these fruits.

northwest coast of the island in
apparently excellent state of cul-
tivation, the trees still loaded
with ripe fruit lin the second
week of March,. These groves
were sheltered by heavy wind
breaks of live bamboo canes, for
protection against the prevailing
winds and sometimes disastrous
gales from the sea. For the most

Do Not Fire the Ranges

The wild lands are the farms
of posterity. The man who delib-
erately sets fire to the forests or
prairies destroys4 the legacy of
his children. Flcrida land needs
the organic matter that the decay
ing vegetable matter on wild
land affords.
S. S. Walker, associate chemist
to the University of Florida. Ex-
pertinent Station, cites three
phases of this wasteful practice
for the consideration of farmers.
The first is the destruction of or
ganic matter mentioned. The
other two are the destruction of
soil bacteria and the deforestation
of land Millions of little pine
trees are killed by the fires and
the loss to the soil through the de-
struction of organisms which rem
der plant food available cannot
be estimated.
That range fires destroy cattle
ticks is a fallacy according to G..
X. McQuarry, state agent. The
ticks are usually dormant at the
time the fires take place and,
hence, are hidden where they are
not subjected to the fire.
