Commercial Club Rooms

Is the present Kennewick- -Richland
Marketing Union to be made perma-
nent? If not what plan is to be work
ed out for marketing next years
strawberry crop? These are the ques-
tions which are to be considered at a
meeting of the strawberry growers
Saturday afternoon, July 1. The
meeting has been called by the direc-
tors of the union and will be held in
the Commercial club rooms at two
o'clock. sz
Members of the board are Of the
opinion that there is no time like, the
present for getting the plans under
way for marketing next years crop.
So far as is known this years plan
has given general satisfaction thruout
the district. AS a result the straw
berry industry has taken on new life
and there will probably be large
acreage set out this fall if the growers
are given the assurance that the CO.
operative plan of marketing is to be
continued.
The Richland growers will meet on
Saturday Of this week to consider the
same questions and some of their
growers will be present at the Kenne-

BENTON COUNTY TO
GO TO STATE FAIR
County Agriculturalist and the
Farmers Clubs Make Plans
for Assembling An Exhibit

The fame which has come to Ben
ton county's agricultural and horti-
cultural products thru first awards
for two successive years at the State
fair is not going to be permitted to
wane. This county will go to North
Yakima again this fall with the de-
termination to carry off first honors
for the third time. This was decided
at conference here Monday between
County Agriculturalist Lee M. Lamp
son, representatives of farm organiza-
tions and the county commissioners.
Every man present was heartily in
favor of again making an exhibit at
the State fair and committee was
appointed to outline a plan for as
sembling the products. Another meet
ing will be held at their call. In for
mer years the state fair exhibit has
been assembled thru the Grape Car
nival and the Prosser Grange Fair,
neither of which will be held this year.
This was only one Of the many sub
jects considered at Mondays meeting
which was called for the purpose of
systematizing and making more eff
cient the work of the county agricul-
turalist. AS an outcome of the meet
ing the Benton County Farmers Coun-
Gil is to be organized. This organiza-
ton will be essentially different from
the existing farmers clubs and
oranges. It's purposes will be to work
with Mr.. Lampson in an advisory ca
pacity and to coordinate the efforts
of the other farmers organizations.
A. Lehnhard, of the Highlands, 7. j.
Chalcraft, of Richland, and F. I. Bash
of Hanford, were named to draft a
suitable constitution and bylaws and
to arrange for an organization meet
ing.
Mondays meeting was attended by
C. w. Phillips, of the Apple Blossom
Grange, of Prosser, w. c. Travis and
Homer McBee, of the Horse Heaven
Grange, E. H. Dunning, of Fruitvale
Grange, T. j. Chalcraft, of Strawberry
Grange, of Richland, John Storland,
Of the Kennewick Valley club, A. Lehn-
hard, of the Highland Improvement
club and County Commissioners J. b

FARMERS OF FUTURE
ARE SHOWING PEP
County Club Leader Well Pleased
with Manner in Which Young
sters are Attacking Work

Fred Gemmell, county club leader
says the boys and girls ere showing {
lot of pep and enthusiasm in theil
work. He is highly pleased with the
showing that is being made and be-
lieves some Of the older folks are 60
ing to be greatly surprised at the re.
suits of the seasons work.
Mr.. Gemmell has planned to get all
the club members of the eastern part
Of the county together July 2 for q
club institute. In speaking of this plan
he says:
The county has been divided into
two districts, one in the western END
and one in the eastern end. This dis
trict includes the Hover, Finley, Yer.
nita, White Bluffs, Hanford, Richland
and Kennewick schools. In this dis
trict there are over one hundred fifty
Farmers of the Future" studying and
working to show their parents, friends
and themselves that they can raise
pigs, corn, chickens, potatoes, garden
truck, and can fruit and vegetables
The success of the boys and girls in
doing this has been demonstrated be-
fore at the Grape Carnival and other
fairs Of the valley. From the way the
youngsters are going at it this year
we can be assured of an even better
showing this fall.
In order to get loaded up with in
formation these club members are
plannink to get together on July 18th
and have an institute. This is to be
carried out on the same plan as 'big
folks" institute with their president
secretary, and all the necessary Of
ficers; with section meetings in charge
of an expert on that subject and with
talks, questions, and suggestions by
the club members themselves.
We shall have with us in this in.
stitute Mrs. Jones, from the State col.
lege, Mr.. Ackley, county superinten
dent of Yakima county, Mr.. Newhouse
in charge of club work in Yakima
county, A. C. Jones, our own county
superintendent, Mr.. Beinhart, one Of
the most successful hog raisers il
Benton county, Mr.. Sellick, who has
secured remarkable results in utility
poultry raising, Mr.. Audrian, wht
coached the championship canning
team of the state last year, and Other
prominent local experts.

PORT ELECTION
CALLED OFF ON
SHORT NOTICE
rrror in Boundaries of Voting
precincts Leaves Some Voters
Out in the Cold
cAIEE DELAY OF SIXTY DAYS
a.. of Morain's Addition, City View
,d Mob Hill Additions Are Not
On the Voting Map

Tho special election which was to
,,vo been held next Tuesday in the
po,+ of Kennewick for the purpose of
,douting or rejecting a comprehensive
Ian Of harbor Improvement has been
allied off. Because some territory in
.,uded within the limits of the port
x.trict is not legally in any voting
rrecinct, it is impossible to legally hold
the election.
When the Kennewick Valley precinct
vas divided into the precincts of Ken
pevick Valley, South Kennewick, Ken
r.v;ck Highlands and Kennewick
Gardens, the county commissioners
.rred in their description of the
boundaries of the precincts. AS re-
mlt that portion of Morain's addition
not inside the city limits, all of City
View addition and all Of Mob Hill ad-
dion was left out in the cold and not
included in any of the four precincts.
Voters living in these additions oc-
eupy the unique position of being dis
enfranchised in that there is no place
where they can either legally register
or vote. It is fact, however, that
Two elections have been held since the
original precinct was divided and at
each election one Of the polling places
was at the home of A. Vance, which is
n no precinct.
The error in precinct boundaries
was discovered only this morning. M.
NJ Moulton made a flying trip to
Prosser to examine the official records
and returned this evening just in time
to announce calling off of the cleo
ton in this weeks issue. The cleo
tion might have been held without the
irregularty's ever being discovered
but rather than to take chances of its
being invalidated the port commission
decided to play safe and wait until the
mistake could be rectifed.
delay Of probably sixty days will
be occasioned as it will be necessary
TO publish notice of another election
after the county commissioners have
corrected the error. Since the election
has been called off the registration
books will reopen at once instead of
remaining closed until after next Tues
day.

Ferrying Up Walla Walla River
Owing to washouts a part of the
road in the lower Walla Walla valley
near Wallula has been rendered i'm
passable. The route between here and
Walla Walla, however, is being kept
open by running the Wallula ferry up
the Walla Walla River to a point be-

been necessary for the ferry to adopt a
schedule of three roundtrips daily and
travellers are asked to take notice of
the following schedule: leave Walla
Walla landing at $3.50 a. m, 1890 D.
m. and 500 p. m; leave Benton coun-
