LEES SPEECH
WELL RECEIVED

The address of George A. Lee of
Seattle, now conceded in most quar-
ters to be the leading republican
candidate for governor, in Codding
hall last Friday evening was thor
oughly enjoyed by crowd that
comfortably filled the hall.
While his talk was primarily in
the interests of his own candidacy
and good part of it had to do
with his qualifications and his posi-
tion on some of the leading state
questions, he also took occasion
during the evening to elucidate a
little of some of the big national
questions, much to the pleasure of
the Hughes supporters and to the
disapproval of some of the Wilson
men-and women.
Evidence of a clean life are
plainly visible in Mr.. Lees looks
and every action. and the RESPONSE
BILE official positions he has held for
a man so young in years, bespeak
some pretty sterling ability that
should serve him in good stead and
at the same time be a pretty good
guarantee to the people of efficiency
should he be returned a winner at
the primaries on September 18th
and the election that follows in Nov
ember.
The Spokesman has heard many
expressions of approval of Mr.. Lee
since his address. and from them it
is only fair to presume that he will
carry off the big end of the vote in
this valley.
The meeting was also dignified
by the presence of County Com
missioner F. l.. Bash and County
Auditor j. C. Syfford. Each Of
them made short addresses, and by
their presence at least suggested,
even if they did not say so, that
they would kind of like to be re-
membered when the voters present
begin marking their ballots at the
primary.

The Kennewick- -Richland straw


The Kennewick- -Richland straw
berry growers received the final
settlement from their local organ
ization about three weeks ago for
the seasons berry crop, and it
amounted to little over S107, 900.
When one considers that the yield
was cut down materially by the
cold backward spring and the late
heavy frosts, this showing is truly
remarkable and speaks volumes for
the industry, foresight and cooper
alton of the growers in those two
places.
Every condition that made pos
sible this showing by the lower
district exists at White Bluffs and
Hanford and it is no fault of the
valley that the ranchers here are
not pulling down y. like sum of
money for berries every year. But
berries won't grow unless they are
set out, nor will they produce un-
less they receive care. But for
the amount of labor and expense
there is no other known crop in
these parts that will bring the
grower larger returns.

r. f. D. STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED

The following article is one of
two or three sent by the Postofice
Department to the postmaster at
White Bluffs for publication in the
Spokesman: r.
The introduction of any measure
so nearly allied to the people as
the rural free delivery system, and
whose growth has been so surpris-
ingly rapid must naturally be at
tended with more or less imperfec-
ton, which only practical inquiry
into operation could fully disclose.
If this practical inquiry, carefully
made, developed irregularities
which needed correction and the
application of the just and eQuit-
able rules of proper administration
temporarily Inconvenience some
and perhaps gave rise to criticism
in others, it was but an incident to
all reformatory processes and could
be expected to disappear when the
wider benefits sought and the
greater advantages to be obtained
made the object and the purpose
clear and justified the wisdom Of
the action taken. For instance, if
by the change of conveyance and
the Encouragement of routes, more
and better service could be given,
should it not be done? Whenever
and wherever such changes have
been made it has been found posi-
BILE to extend service to additional
patrons heretofore denied this ac-
commodation-from 500 to 1000
in number. Surely the slight de-
lay it might occasion to one or sew
eral patrons should meet with lit
tie or no objectiono when it was
shown that this had been the means
of obliging many others with at
least a single delivery who previ-
ously had none whatever.
In the nature of things, the
great desire of the people to obtain
a benefit which it's government
could provide and the willingness
of the Government to give it and
give it rapidly, conditions would
develop which demanded both at
tention and consideration. If,
therefore,. it became evident in
operation tthataby careful inquiry
more could. be. accomplished than
wasvbeing rendered, it was clearly
the duty of those1in control to in
vestSgate conditions with a view to
possible betterment. "The great
est good to the greatest number"
must ever be the motto of wise
and successful administration, and
officials can only hope to win pub
lie approval when such motto gov
erns their administrative acts.

Cash buyers in the valley this
week~haxaa kept the fruit picked up
about aafast as it ripened. There
is little, if any, being shipped out
under consignment. Champion,
Carmen and Slappy peaches brought
40 cents; pears. SLIPS, tumble
pack; and offers of from $1.20 to
$1.50 for apples. This includes
the G grades.
A car of pears went out Thurs
day morning billed to Winnipeg.
1t is somewhat difficult task on
account of the small acreage to get
car Of pears. But by staying on
the Job early and late, the Produce
Company were able to rustic the
last bunch necessary to bring up
the minimum weight for the car.
The peach market is strong at 40
cents, with indications of a raise
when the Elbertas begin to move.
The price of apples is more or less
speculative, but it is believed that
the prices quoted above will govern
when the crop is ready to harvest.
The advent Of the cash buyer
has instilled a feeling Of optimism
among the growers that has been
conspicuous by it's absence for the
past four or five years.
An elaborate dinner affair was
given Sunday at the Hanford ranch,
Mrs. Edmund Anderson being
hostess. The tables were spread
under the trees in the yard and
loaded with all the good things

their families, Mrs. Moran and
children and Elmer Josephson, of

very welcome guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. F. j. Bonn and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. j. Kincaid, who hap
pened along during the evening.
