DRIVES HORSE AND BUGGY
1000 MILES FOR HOMESTEAD
L. G.. Moore's Speedometer Has Been
Kept Busy During the Last
Three Years

l.. G. Moore, who today made final
proof on his homestead before u. S.
Commissioner E. w. Trenbath, esti-
mates that he has travelled more than
four thousand miles for his S0-acre
farm near Vista. Mr.. Moores doesn't
mean by this that he has done any
globe trotting as all of his travelling
has been done along the 81 miles of
country road between his farm and
town.
While maintaining his three years
residence on his homestead Mr.. Moore
has looked after the city property of
his mother and there has hardly been
a day that he has not made at least
one round trip. He estimates that he
has driven 5000 miles and walked the
other 400. As result the new buggy
which he purchased three years ago
is now almost ready for the scrap
heap.

BROWN GIVEN TWENTY-FIVE
YEAR PHONE FRANCHISE
New Ordinance Takes Place of Pres.
ent Franchise Which Expires
in Five Years

A. F. Brown, of the Kennewick VAL
ley Telephone company was granted a
25-year franchise by the city council
Tuesday evening. The new franchise
takes the place of the present one
which was granted to R. A. Klinge
and later assigned to Mr., Brown.
The provisions of the new ordinance
are not materially different from the
old one other than it is drawn to more
nearly meet present conditions and to
better provide for the future growth
of the town. The primary object of
Mr.. Brown in asking for the franchise
was to secure an extension of time as
the present franchise expires in about
five years. During the last few years
he has installed some rather expen-
sive improvements and expects to in
stall others and felt that the extension
OF time was necessary to properly pro-
tect his investment.

PLAN FREE SCHOOL
FOR APPLE PACKERS
Expert Packer Offers to Donate
His Services if Commercial
Club Will Act

Clyde Perkins, local field manager
for the Spokane Fruitgrowers' COM
pany, has brought to the attention of
the business men of Kennewick the
fact that Kennewick's apple crop is
being prepared for market by out
side workers who are making from
$500 to $500 day while local labor
is doing the unskilled work and re-
ceiving not more than $3.50 day. In
other words the high-priced jobs are
being filled by outside help because of
the inexperience of the local labor.
He also points out that within the
next year or two the question of Sc
curing help to harvest the local ap-
pie crop is going to be very serious
one and urges that every available
local worker be schooled in apple pack
ing. He estimates that this years
crop of 25O carloads will probably be
doubled next year and by the end of
four years Kennewick will be shipping
a thousand carloads.
To meet this increasing demand for
expert help, Mr.. Perkins recommends
that an apple packing school be es-
tablished and volunteers to take
charge of the school without remun-
Grafton for his services. He suggests
that the school be conducted at night
for period of ten days or two weeks.
The matter was brought before the
Commercial club at it's luncheon yes
terday and DR.. B. L. Cole and A. j..
Copeland were appointed to carry out
Mr.. Perkins suggestions. This COM
mittee expects to enlist the co-opera-
ton of the Highlands Improvement
and the Valley clubs. But before any
definite action is taken they wish to
ascertain how many will avail them
selves of this advantage to secure free
schooling. To do this they request
that all who are interested make ap-
plication to DR.. Cole within the next
few days.

In Rural Districts Near Kenne-

Horse Heaven HOmesteader Walks
Twenty -four Miles to Get His
Name on the Books IT.

It is evident that the rural registra-
tion law, in effect this year for the
first time, will not keep many Benton
county voters from the polls on Mo-
yember z. At least this is true of the
voting precincts in and around Kenne-
wick. When the registration books
closed Tuesday evening they showed
better than 95 per cent registration
and the few who failed to register
probably would not have voted under
the old system.
The rural precincts where it was
feared the vote would be light and
where for several months registration
was discouragingly slow came to the
front at the finish. In the three city
wards and the seven rural precincts
tributary to the city there are a total
of 1450 registered voters, or two
thirds of the total vote in the county
at the primaries.
In the city there are but very few
who did not get their names on the
books before the clerks office closed
Tuesday night. The city total is 900,
divided as follows: First ward, ZIG;
second ward, 331; third ward, 143.
Out in the Highlands precinct there
Is one registered voter, who, no mat
ter who he votes for, is entitled to
medal for good citizenship. He is
native Of Sweden and has no inborn
loyalty to the "fatherland" to whet
his zeal, yet he stands out as shin
ing example to some of the Indifferent
city voters who have to be. escorted
two blocks to the registration office
and carried to the polls in an auto
mobile on election day. This citizen
by adoption lives on a lonely home
stead out near Badger. He thought
he voted in Horse Heaven precinct
and tramped over the hills to the
Bentley home to register, only to find
that he lived in the Highlands precinct.
de tramped determinedly back home
and the following day he hiked IL
miles thru sagebrush and sand to the
home of E. o. Keene, where he regis
tered and then walked the IL miles
back home.
The total registration in the High
lands precinct is 139. So far as is
known, this includes every voter on
the Highlands with the exception of
one and all but or 2 of the Hill
ranchers who live in this precinct.
In the Kennewick Valley precinct
l42 are registered. Registration of

lacks about ten of full registration.
IN South Kennewick the total is 11O.

this precinct.
AT FINLEY there are approximately

UNION REVIVAL Is
NOW in PROGRESS
Meetings Conducted by Evange.
list Frank r. Margetts are
Drawing Good Crowds
Especial Correspondent

The union revival meetings, parti-
cipated in by the Baptist, Congrega-
tional, Christian and Methodist
churches of the city started Sunday in
the Congregational church. The Rev.
DR.. Frank r. Margetts, of Spokane,
formerly superintendent of eastern
Washington and Northern Idaho for
the Baptist church, and for Is years
practicing attorney, is the evangel-
ist. The Rev. C. E. Nell, of Spokane,
is singer and choir leader. Splendid
attendance and the spirit with which
the religious workers are taking hold
of the work indicate success. The
sermons already preached by Rev.
Margetts are strong, helpful and up
fto-the-minute talks on practical sub
jects. His sermon Sunday morning
on "Why This Revival and the one
in the evening on "The Needs of the
World" were a wonderful defense of
the church and a very clear presenta-
tion of world conditions, and revealed
somewhat of the reasons that prompt
ed Rev. Margetts to give up lucra-
tive law practice to enter religious
work.
The choir loft which was remodeled
to seat about so singers, was filled for
the opening service. The singers un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Nell made
the church ring with their voices,
blending in almost perfect unison.
Mr.. Nell also as soloist, has made
a great hit.
Wednesday night Rev. Margetts
spoke on ga Soldier Who Made Good"
Thursday night his subject will be:
"The Wife, A Helpmate or Hindrance"
Friday night, 'The Husband, An As
set or Liability" Saturday night ga

morning "The Only Interchangeable" !"
at 8 p. m, a mems meeting only, sub
ject, "a Strong Easy Mark" Sunday
night, "The Dance = Recreation or
Dissipation" Tuesday night, "57 Va
rieties = Not Pickles = Hypocrites," !"
Wednesday night "Lessons From and
for the Merchant"
Wednesday Rev. Margets spoke and
Rev. Nell sang before the high school.
At noon the men were guests of the
Commercial club at luncheon, after
which Mr.. Margetts spoke.
All who have heard Rev. Margetts
have expressed approval, for he has
demonstrated that he is not only a
masterful, clear-minded preacher, but
an entertainer Of no mean ability. He
comes well prepared, both from train
ing and from practical life experiences
to lead this community in this cam
paign for righteousness.

GOV. M'BRIDE NAILS
THE WET CHARGE
Republican Nominee Says if Dry
Law is Changed it Will be 4
7. Done Over His Veto

eff the legislature makes any
changes in the present dry law, ex-
cept to strengthen it, it will be done
over my protest. and over my veto,
should 1 be elected governor" de-
clared Henry Mcbride here last Fri
day afternoon. In his two public ad-
dresses in this city the republican
nominee left no doubt as to where he
stands on the prohibition question.
Mr.. Mcbride delivered his first ad-
dress at Hotel Kennawick where he
was guest at a noon luncheon at
tended by more than fifty business
men and farmers. At four o'clock in
the afternoon he addressed repre-
sentative gathering of women at the
close of the monthly business meeting
of the Kcnnewick Woman's club.
In both addresses Mr.. Mcbride paid
high tribute to the record of the re-
publican party and its standard bearer
Charles E. Hughes. With the two
wings of the party again enrolled un-
der one banner and presenting unit
ed front, he predicted a sweeping re-
publican victory in both state and ma
tion November z.
"When man becomes candidate
for a public office, if he has a record,
that record should be the basis for
determining his qualifications for Of
fice," said the speaker. He then re-
ferred briefly to his record as COVER
nor of the state and reviewed the
fight which he waged against the
strangle hold of the powerful rail-
road lobby which absolutely controlled
the state legislature. This fight
which he began, cost him the nomin-
alton for reelection but it resulted in
driving the railway lobby from Olym-
pia and placed on the statute books
laws creating a regulative railway
commission, abolishing the rebating
and free pass evil and assessing the
corporation on the same basis as the
individual.
Favors Dry Law
Speaking of the temperance ques-
tion he said:
81 am opposed to the Legislature
making any changes in it unless it be
TO strengthen the means of enforcing
it. Two initiative measures, one
known as initiative measure No. Is,
or the hotel bill, and the other as
initiative measure No. "a, or the
brewers bill, are before the people of
this state for adoption or rejection at
tn November election. These meas
ures are in no sense of the word party
questions. / believe, however, this
state should remain in the dry col
umn. No backward step should be
taken. In my Judgment the adoption
of these initiative measures, or either
of them, would be step in the wrong
direction.
"Gov. Listers long delayed and ov-
erdue answer to the charge made by
members of his own party that he had
assessed his appointees to pay off his
own personal obligation of $4,000 is,
in effect, confession of the truth of
the charge.

newspapers, that this $4,000 was his
