Too Much for Him

By the aid of his wonderful lamp
and the genii thereof, Aladdin had
built him delightful bungalow in one
Of the suburbs of Cathay. The first
day of his occupancy he again sum-
moned the genii:
~ think / will 60 to town." said
Aladdin. 81 have some business to at
tend to. Take me to the station in five
minutes"
The genii made gesture of despair.
"What is my lords commando" he
inquired in trembling accents.
"Take me to the station in five min
utes," repeated Aladdin sharply.
The genii made another and more
despairing gesture.
"Alas" he cried, "that cannot do.
1t is beyond my powers. Nobody but
the real estate man from whom you
bought these lots knows how to reach
the station from here in five minutes.
The best I can do is eleven minutes,
and I'm supposed to be some genii."
And then, to sort of square things,
the genii brought Aladdin seven bas-
ms full of jewels, without being asked.

Hay prices are still soaring in and

ATTEND CREAMERY MEETING

An auto load of the most prominent
dairymen of the Richland district went
down to Kennewick Tuesday to attend
the annual meeting Of the stockholders
OF the Kennemick Cooperative Cream
cry. New officers for the ensuing year
were elected, Carl Willis, Of Richland,
being chosen member of the board OF
trustees. The outlook for the future
OF the enterprise seems very bright
indeed, when one considers that the
treasury shows a surplus of over 5000
after many improvements have been
completed and all bills paid. The Rich
land farmers are more than satisfied
with the showing made during the
year. In August the largest amount
OF cream hauled to Kennewick on one
load totaled but 311 pounds, fhile
the last load taken down weighed 1909
pounds. Sam Ross, who drives the
cream wagon, and who is one OF the
most progressive dairy farmers in the
Richland district, is more than salts
ned with the showing made and all
members of the company in Richland
look for great gain in the output OF
butterfat from this district in the COM
ing season.
The dairymen, all stockholders in
the creamery, who took the trip down
70 attend the meeting were Messrs.
r. Z. Biendorf, Sam Ross, Carl Willis,
u. L. Dietrich, C. C. Harding and A.
M. Lausch.

ASSESSOR STILL AT
WORK ON SURVEY
Wheaton Expects to Save County
Money and Compile Com
prehensive Records

County Assessor A. H. Wheaton
snent the greater part of Monday and
Tuesday in Richland in the interests
~ his assessment work for the year
1916. He is at present making a gen.
oral soil survey and farm classical
t;on with the idea of compiling data
to be kept in the assessors office so
that it will not be necessary every
wear to do this field work.
In the past the assessor has had
at least three deputies in the office as
well as himself at cost to the county
Of nearly 100000. At present there
IS but one office man. This year Mr..
Wheaton's allowance is only $500 and
he is doing the work in the field alone,
with deputy in the office at Prosser.
After the assessment roll is COM
Melted the assessor expects to give the
farmers chance to attend sort of
"crievance" meeting at which they can
express their views as to the taxes
levied against their holdings and have
an opportunity to readjust any assess
ments which seem to be excessive or
insufficient.
BY doing this work in the way Mr..
Wheaton is handling it data can be
arranged in the Office, together with
plats, soil surveys, contour maps and
farm classifcations, so that in the fu-
ture all assessments can be made di-
rect from the Office in Prosser and
the assessor will simply have to go
thru the county and make note of any
improvements instituted since the levy
Of former years was made. Mr..
Wheaton, if elected again, expects to
continue his work along the same lines
until completed and systematized in
such way as to be done for the least
possible expense to the tax payers.

meeting Oh henNeWlck growers nelO In
Kennewick Monday afternoon. Among
those who made the trip down were
C. Havstad, C. D. Mitchell, James
Kaas, j. E. Mowrey, John Erickson, F.
A. Friermood, j. r. Gardner and F. ].
O'Brien. These are the men who have
the strawberry situation most at heart
and who are working hardest to try
to form some permanent organization
which will give the grower a chance
to make living profit from his crop.
If such cooperative union could be
formed to control the price, market,
etc., instead of the farmers being fore
ed out of the strawberry business on
account of the lack of returns, more
acreage than ever would be planted to
this crop, which is one to which the
Richland district is ideally adapted.
It is to be hoped that the Kennewick
growers will finally get together and
assist the Richland growers to the best
of their ability as one cannot success

without the other.
A number of prominent farmers in
the district north of town are circulat-
ing petition requesting the board of
county commissioners to make a
change in the proposed extension or
continuation Of the Richland to Han
ford highway. Instead Of following
the transmission line the petitioners
request that the road be laid out to
follow the center line Of section 2,
in township 8, and along the center
line Of sections 35, 26, % and IA in
township 10 to the Fruitvale school
house, thence by the shortest available
road to the pole line. The farmers
who have this matter under way feel
that by careful investigation the
board will prove to its own satisfac-
ton that it is the most feasible route,
serving as it will the greatest number
Of people and being tributary to the
largest amount Of improved acreage.
They also contend that It can be con-
structed more economically than any
other. A great number Of the farmers
have signifed their intention Of sign
ing the petition when it will be pre-
scented to the commissioners for their
consideration.

granted 2.year,od steers Mt $3.50, an
advance of 10 cents over the best pre-.
vious price. These steers were shipped
in from Terrabonnie. Pulp.fed steers
brought $40 to $7.s5. Cows were up
quarter at $G,25 for the best grade,
and other butcher cattle were cores
pondingly strong.
The bulk of the hogs were also of
finer quality than for some time. There
was an advance Of nickel in the mar.
ket, the top going to $500.

SALEM DRUGGISTS
SHY ATD AFF|DANTS
FOR SELLING ALCOHOL
One Druggist Considers Them
Not Only Unnecessary But
a Hindrance

The fact that only one out of Salem IS
eleven drug stores has secured a set of
affidavit blanks to sell alcohol indicates
that local druggists shy at the mass of
red tape that encumbers the working of
the 1916 Prohibition law. One of the
most prominent druggists in Salem ex-
planned this morning that affidavits
were not necessary to their business and
in fact were useless according to his
way Of looking at the law.
He said that denatured alcohol could
be sold freely and that there were
numerous methods prescribed by law for
denaturing alcohol, that is, rendering it
unfit for drinking as beverage.
The druggist went on to say that he
did not need affidavit blanks because
he sold only denatured alcohol, and if
the customer desired the alcohol for ex-
ternal uses only that the customer did
not object to the alcohol being rendered
unfit for drinking purposes. This oper-
ated as a check also, because if the Gus
toner objected to the alcohol being de-
natured it indicated that the customer
did not want it solely for external use,
but for drinking purposes and the drug
gist would therefore refuse to sell it.
Alcohol is in greatest demand for
linaments, hair tonics and in prescrip-
tions. For linaments alcohol can be de-
natured by adding camphor or carbolie
acid which in. reality added to its value
as a linament but rendered it unfit for
drinking. In prescriptions the druggist
stated that alcohol became a compound
and the other ingredients put in made
1t medicine and excessive drinking
would have other effects than render
ing the drinker blissfully intoxicated.
"Now, for example," said the drug
vendor, "suppose a man secures a pre-
scription and comes here to buy a pint
of grain alcohol. We find his prescrip-
tion to be all right and we sell him the
alcohol upon hmis affidavit that it is to
be used for medical purposes. He then
goes to bootlegger and secures q sup
ply of whiskey, mixes the two and gets
drunk. If he is arrested the police be-
SAH " NphuNi hhtip ne But thC bOOAcs
Our affidavit on file shows them in
minute and they have only to present it
to jury to secure a conviction and
our fine is already up in the shape of
a bond"
eff we have no affidavit blanks we
are unable to sell grain alcohol even on
a Doctors prescription and can sell on
ly denatured alcohol and it relieves us
of lot of responsibility since we can
refuse to sell grain alcohol under any
circumstances except when it has been
denatured. All of this can be done
without securing any affidavit blanks or
depositing any bond, so what's the
use.
Out of % drug stores in Marion coun-
ty, eight have secured affidavit blanks,
two in Silverton, and one each in Salem,
Aurora, Mill City, Hubbard alt. Angel
and Woodburn.
The fact that these drug stores have
secured the blanks does not in any way
indicate that they intend to make a
business of selling grain alcohol but the
simply explains why, in one
man S opinion, Salem druggists have
not secured more affidavit blanks.
