MANGLED UNDERWATER TANK
Sam Root Receives Four Broken Ribs
and Broken Leg While Hauling
Water

Sam Root was seriously injured last
Thursday while hauling water on his
ranch in Horse Heaven. He is now in
the Walla Walla hospital and is stead
lily improving in spite of four broken
ribs, a broken leg and numerous
bruises.
Upon arriving at the we'll with the
empty tank drawn by a six-horse team,
Mr.. Root alighted to take a wheeler's
foot from the stretchers. The team
became frightened and the rancher
was trampled under the horses heofs
and crushed beneath the wheels. of the
heavy wagon.
After being injured Mr.. Root drag
ged himself to his home and DR..
Spaulding of this city was summoned
to attend him. Had the tank been full

NEW FERRY OPERATING AT
RAILROAD BRIDGE CROSSING
Opens Up New Route to Towns of
Burbank, Alfalfa, Two Rivers
and Wallula

The new Kennewick- Willard ferry
operated by Paullin & Bongard, was
put into commission just below the
o-W. bridge Wednesday of this week.
The ferry gives Kennewick a new
means OF transportation with Burbank
Alfalfa, Two Rivers and Wallula and
gives tourists the option of two routes
between here and Walla Dalla.
+. Q. Paullin, one of the proprietors,
who attended the Commercial club
luncheon Wednesday, said they are
equipped to give the public the very
best of service. The new boat is
strongly built and has sufficient power
to make the crossing without difficulty.
He requested that the Commercial
club assist in posting the new route
on both sides Of the river.

MOTOR BUS WILL HAUL
SOME KIDDIES TO SCHOOL
DR.. Davidson Given Contract for the
River Road School Bus at
$3.50 a Month

Riddles along the river road will
ride to school this year in motor bus
instead of the customary covered wa
gon. At meeting of the school board
this week the contract for delivering
the children to school over this route
was let to DR.. M. P. Davidson, of the
Richland Transfer company, his bid
of $3.50 being the lowest submitted
for auto service. This is an increase of
$3.50 over the price formerly paid for
team bus. According to the school
board motor bus on this route had
almost become a necessity because of
the length of the route. In former
years some of the children have been
forced to spend four hours day on
the bus in getting to and from school
and the experience was almost beyond
the physical endurance of the primary
children.
Bids for auto buses on some of the
other routes were considered but not
accepted.

SURPRISE THEIR PASTOR

! Mrs. C. F. Miller entertained large
number of friends Wednesday eve
ming with an informal reception in
honor of the Rev. Miller, who was
forty years old that day. The affair
was complete surprise to the Rev.
Miller, as the guests were gathered in
the parlors ready to receive him when
he returned home from prayer meet
ing. But he was fully equal to the
occasion and responded in a jovial
manner to the address of Tom Swayze
who in behalf of the assembled friends
wished him many more happy returns
of the day, and assured him OF the
warm affection of the members OF the
congregation and friends and present.
ed him with handsome purse. Piano
selections by Misses Mae VanNorsdall
and Ruth Brown added much to the
Measure of the evening. Punch and
wafers were served by the hostess, and
Rev. Miller gracefully cut and served
the large birthday cake.

THREE STEAMERS BRING
FULL CARGOES UP RIVER
Twin Cities, Inland Empire and ]. N
Teal Dock Here This Week and
Discharge Freight

With three steamers, each carrying
full cagoes, arriving here from Port
land, this has been a busy week on
Kennewick's water front. The Twin
Cities and the j. N. Teal arrived early
Sunday morning and after discharg-
ing part of their cargoes steamed on
up the Snake river to Lewiston. The
Inland Empire docked early Tuesday
morning and left that same day on her
return trip to Portland. The Twin
Cities dropped down from Lewiston
Tuesday night and left early yesterday
morning for down river points. The
Teal is docked here now and will prob
ably leave tomorrow.
1t is not the intention of the COM
pany to keep all three steamers on
the run but there will be at least two
boats week until the accumulated
freight has been disposed Of and traf-
fic becomes normal.

PARKS TO MARKET
PEARS AND APPLES
Highland Growers Pool Their
Crops and Will Sell Thru the
Spokane Growers Company

The most of the Highland pear and
apple crop will be marketed this year
by P. R. Parks, manager of the Spo-
kane Fruit Growers company.
A number of the Highland orchard
lists were so favorably impressed with
Mr.. Parks work in handling the straw
berry crop this year that several weeks
ago they opened negotiations to Sc
cure his services in selling their pears
and apples. He agreed to consider the
proposition provided sufficient ton
mage would be lined up under contract.
This tonnage has been secured and the
deal was finally closed up at meeting
Monday evening.
No growers organization has been
effected other than that the growers
have contracted to pool their pears
and apples and deliver them to .Mr(
Parks, who is to market them at a
stated price per package. Mr.. Parks
is also to have supervision over the
picking and packing and has placed
C. A. Perkins in charge of this end of
the work.
The selling business will be handled
thru the Spokane Office of Mr.. Parks
company, while all accounting will be
done here by R. G. Mounsey. The Tum-
Alum Lumber company's old build
ing has been rented as a warehouse
and packing shed for pears and cook
ing apples but the winter apples will
be received and packed in new ware
house which is to be erected at Beav-
ers' siding on the N. P.
Mr.. Perkins, who has entire charge
of picking, packing, inspecting and
loading, said today that the first of
the pear crop would begin to move
Monday. He estimates the total pear
tonnage at Is carloads and the winter
apples between 10000 and 100000
boxes. These totals may be slightly
increased as the pool will be left open
for all who wish to come in until Aug
ust Is. Membership in the pool is not
limited to the Highlands. Some Of
the Valley growers have already sign
ed up and others will probably do so
later.
Mr.. Perkins said this morning he
had never seen finer quality of fruit
than is now growing on the Highlands.
Altho the yield may be little light
both apples and pears are exception
ally free from worms and will run
strongly to extra fancies.

MRS. W. A. BURLEIGH SPEAKS FOR COL. HARTLEY

any Of his literature, not because he
is opposed to labor unions but because
he refuses to truckle to any organiza-
tion for votes.
Altho Col. Hartley for several years
has been one of Everett's leading citi-
zens and has been prominent figure
in the lumber industry he is not gen.
orally known over the state but what
he lacks in acquaintance he expects to
make up in the thoroness of his cam
paign which will be carried into ev-
cry city, town and village in the state.
While Mrs. Burleigh and her advance
agent, Miss Magaret Upper are work
ing the east-side, Col. Hartley is MAX
ing the towns of the west-side. The
travels by automobile and carries with
him in the capacity of secretary, Wee
Coyle, the famous Washington foot
ball star and a red -blooded young male
quartet. The youngsters supply the
"pep" while the Colonel personally
delivers the "punch." They expect to
make Kennewick in the near future.

Washington's Leading Woman
Politician Stumps State in Be-
half of Everett Candidate


Mrs. Walter A. Burleigh, of Seattle,
the one woman in the state, who by her
keen insight into political affairs, her
boundless enthusiasm, and pronounced
feality to party precepts, has been ac-
corded official recognition by republi-
can leaders, addressed an audience in
the Commercial club rooms Tuesday
evening.
Mrs. Burleigh touched briefly upon
national issues and the leadership of
Charles E. Hughes. She spoke primar-
lily in the interests of the candidacy of
Col. Roland H. Hartley, of Everett,
candidate for governor, for whom she
is stumping the state.
With nicely phrased touch of human
interest here and there the speaker
closely held the attention Of the aud
ience as she recited the life story of

first outlook upon the sterner side of

BUYS PEA THREsHER

Jas. X. Hawkins has purchased thru
the Mattecheck Hardware company,
the first bean and pea thresher ever
brought into the valley. Not only will
Mr.. Hawkins use the machine for
threshing his own crops, but will op-
crate it for hire. County Agricultur-
alist Lee M. Lampson says machine
of this kind has long been needed in
the valley to thresh vetch seed which
has heretofore gone to waste.

camp, and whom, she claims, the hard
school of experience has better fitted
for the states first Office than any of
the other gubernatorial candidates.
From every angle, Mrs. Burleigh
declared, he posses necessary attri-
butes of a good executive, because of
his years of manual labor, his train
ing and success as business man, his
service as secretary to the governor of
Minnesota and his experience as may

FOUR MORE FILE
FOR COUNTY JOBS
Duffy, Wright and Fristoe are
Candidates for Reelection
Brown Files for Prosecutor

The week has been devoid of any
new developments, sensations or sur
prises in county politics. At noon to-
day there We're four more candidates
listed on the books of the county audi
tor than there were a week ago.
Three of the four are for reelection
and all were expected.
C. w. Fristoe has filed for re-elec-
tion as prosecutig attorney on the
democratic ticket and Andrew Brown,
of Prosser, is seeking the same Office
on the republican ticket. Sheriff G. E.
Duffy and Engineer T. ]. Wright have
both filed for reelection and it is not
likely that either will have any oppo-
sition, at least none at the primaries.
The Office of commissioner in this
district is still blank, but there has
been no elimination of prospective can
didates, with the possible exception of
C. E. Cox, whom it is understood, may
not file altho he is being strongly
urged by the Finley Grange.
About the only change in the poll
.tical jockeying for this office are: G..
C. Moores, of Richland, who last week
denied that he was a candidate, has
changed his mind to the extent that
he now refuses to say that he is def
nitely out of the race; and II. S.
Hughes, of Hover, is figuring more
prominently as a prospective candi-
date, and number of his friends are
working quietly in his behalf. 1t
seems to be definitely decided that Ed.
Zimmerman, of Richland, will file on
the democratic ticket.
Altho Jas. K. Hawkins, republican,
and Jas. B. Clements, democrat, both
say they have hopes of representing
Benton county in the legislature, yet
neither have filed and Grant Stewart,
who is at his mines at Laurier, has
not been heard from.
The office of school superintendent
is still lonesome with no bidders for
the job.
