BEER BILL GETS ON BALLOT
OTHER MEASURES FAH,
Lack of Necessary Ten Per Cent Of
Signatures Bar Proposed
Legislation

Failure to secure enough signatures
will keep the proposed initiative bills
off the ballot this year, with the excep-
ton of the "Beer Consumers Act,n
which received about 70, 900 signatures
or more than twice the number requir-
ed to secure a place on the ballot. The
first-aid, home rule and fisheries tax
bills, proposed by the Direct Legisla-
ton League, did not meet with much
support, however, and fell consider
ably short of the necessary $4,000
signatures. The lack of interest in
these measures indicated that the vot-
ers are tired of making plaything
out of direct Legislation. The "non-
partisan" bill also was short Of sig
natures. This measure contained about
$4,000 words and was very comph-
Gated so much so that the original
non-partisan league repudiated it.
The only initiatives to 60 on the
ballot in November will be Number
"a, allowing the manufacture of beer
in this state and its sale to individ-
uals for home consumption, and the
hotel mems liquor act. The latter IS
Number 10, and was initiated by the
legislature in 1915. These two meas
ures and the seven referendum bills
will be on the ballot.

HARRISON GIVES
HIGHLANDERS ADVICE
CONTINUED. from first page)

tant future unless additional areas
Of tillable land are opened up. Irri-
CATION, drainage and control Of flood
lands are the best sources for this pur-
pose. Districts available for irriga-
ton, drainage, development of har-
bors should cooperate in securing fed
eral appropriations for their projects.
"The program just referred to
should be put into effect in advance Of
the time the land will be required
for use. Work done by force account
when general boom prevails, when
railroads are congested, when labor
is scarcest, worst in quality and high
est in price is poor time for any ex-
tensive construction. We are rapidly
approaching time, if we are not al
ready to it, when the public must pro-
vide work for the unemployed. What
better provision for this could be made
than the reclamation Of arid, swamp
and over-flowed lands?
"Confning my remarks to your To-
cal situation l would state that the
Sunnyside canal will carry some sur
plus water for the next few years
perhaps 20 to 80 second feet. This
could be gotten for temporary use
say about five years-while the N. p.
Highline from the intake would be UNI
der construction. The extension of
the Sunnyside would not be considered
feasible for the reason that the in
vestment in it in permanent structures
is very large and these would all have
to be torn out and rebuilt and the
canal enlarged for its entire length.
Gas it looks to me, the practical
course to pursue is to secure first the
support Of the N. P. for the building
of their Highline with the understand
ing that the Kennewick unit be built
first, and be supplied temporarily from
the Sunnyside ditch. AS to whether
this shall be done by private capital,
U. S. r. S., or combination of both
is not the vital point. The real issue
is gravity water is the quickest and
best way" An irrigation district
should be organized so as to be in po-
sition to do business if an opportunity
is presented.
"First, on account of the large land

holdings of the N. p. and correspond
ing responsibility they will naturally
be timid about supporting such an or
ganization. You must establish full
confidence with the N. p. officials that
you will incur no expense without their
consent.
Second, the survey of the N. p.
Highline was not made with view of
the U. S. r. S. constructing and oper-
ating it, and before anything could
be done by the U. S. R. s. singly or
jointly, the N. P. survey should Be
checked over and the survey made to
conform to the standards of the u. s.
r. S.
ITO accomplish this there must be
local leadership and cooperation. Com
munities get nowhere without leader
ship and leadership without coopera-
ton is blank. There must be no
division, no pickering, no this way or
that way or some other way, but with
leaders obey requests as soldiers do
officers.
do not select your leaders because
of your personal like or dislike of
them. Select solely on the basis Of
ability, willingness and certainty to
perform the duties given them. Sc
lect your leaders as certain man told
me he would his representative for the
state legislature. There were several
candidates for the. nomination. All
were on friendly and speaking terms
with this man except one, and this
man that he was not on speaking
terms with was the one he said he
would vote for because he had the abil-
ity, willingness and desire to perform
the duties Of the Office whereby the
others did not.
"This is a community affair and
with proper leadership and coopera-
ton believe that you can win and
win quickly. To start with, secure an
attorney and engineer who has the
confidence Of the u. S. r. S., and Of
the N. p. r. r. Otherwise you will
waste much time and money. Observ-
ance Of this policy saved the day for
Benton City and secured the extern
sion Of the Sunnyside canal. The same
policy will secure like results for you"

ONE OF VALLEYS
FIRST SETTLERS DIES
Richard Hughs0n, Who Has Liv-
ed Lonely and Secluded for
Years, Passes Away

Z = :. x !
Richard Hughson, who was among
the first settlers in this section Of the
Columbia River Valley, died at the Nc
Gregor hospital in this city last Sat
urday night. Funeral services were
conducted Sunday afternoon in the
Mueller Undertaking parlors by Rev.
w. p. Osgood, Of the Baptist church.
Mr.. Hughson was 70 years old and
was native of England. He has no
relatives in the United States, but it
is thought he has two daughters living
in Liverpool. Mrs. Hughson died years
ago when the daughters were small
children. Leaving them in charge of
a rector, the father went to sea, ship
ping out of Liverpool as ship car
penter. He followed this life for years
and visited ports in all parts Of the
world.
About thirty-five years ago he left
the sea while the ship on which he was
employed was in Portland and en-
tered the employ of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. He came to this part
Of the country when the Ainsworth
bridge was being built.
In the capacity of day laborer
Mr.. Hughson was actively identified
with the development of the valley
from its first inception. He worked
for the old company when the first
canal was being constructed and after
it was finished he became ditch walker
for the Northern Pacific Irrigation
company and continued in that capaci-
ty until about five years ago when he
retired from active labor and went to
make his home in a little cabin on the
j. B. Clements farm. Two years ago
he came to Kennewick and has lived
alone in the little cottage near the
Catholic church.
In 1892 he filed on homestead in
Section 10. When the North Coast
railroad was built he sold rights of
way thru his land for both the main
line and the proposed Richland branch.
The rest of the acreage below the
canal he sold to C. E. Griffith and
still retained title to about 12O acres
at the time Of his death.
The old man lived quietly and fru-
gally and left an estate valued at
several thousand dollars, most of
which was in cash on deposit in diff
ferent banks.
It is understood that until his daugh-
tiers were married he contributed reg
ularly to their support, but that he has
not heard from them for more than
20 years.

TOTAL FRUIT CROP
NINE THOUSAND CARS
Average is Compiled from Esti-
mates Secured from Railroads.
and the Big Shippers

The total fruit crop of the Yakima
valley for the 1916 season will be 5000
cars, including melons, according to
estimates gathered from many sources
and general average taken. Four
representative shippers Of the valley
and both railroad companies inter-
ested in the haul were asked to give
their figures on the crop and the es-
Inmates are remarkably close, says the
Yakima Republic.
The Northern Pacific which has made
very close study of the tonnage for
the season, having had two men in the
field, figures the fruit and melon crop
at 10000 cars and allows. $50 cars for
melons. Fred Thompson, Of the Thomp-
son Fruit company, places the fruit
alone at 1926 cars, while the Horti.
cultural union is low with 1875 for
the total.
AAAS oPPiS SAoP SSIAAudISS range from
5000 cars, made both by the Union and
the Association, to 800 cars made by
Mr.. Thompson. The Northern Pacific
estimate is 1900 cars and the O-W. r.
& N. figures TOO cars. For the other
fruits the estimates are nearer togeth-
er. The Horticultural union makes a
low estimate on pears, being 200 cars
below the average and $50 cars below
the highest estimate.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection the average estimates made
here and the totals sent out by the
state horticultural department from
figures furnished thru employees of the
department. The state estimate in
carloads is: Apples, 6595; pears, 752;
peaches, 1874, and pears and plums,
40, making a total of 8279 for all
kinds of tree fruit.
