LAND OWNERS
UNANIMOUS
FOR DISTRICT
Election to Create Kennewick In.
rigation District is Carried
Solidly
UP TO THE GOVERNMENT NOW
Highland Ranchers Demonstrate their
Willingness to Heartily
...- Cooperate ..

That the land owners under the pro-
posed Kennewick extension Of the
Sunnyside canal are ready to cooper
ate effectively with the reclamation
service in putting thru the project was
demonstrated Monday when the elec-
tion to create an irrigation district
was carried without dissenting vote.
There were total Of 40 votes cast
for the district and none against. A
further evidence that the landowners
mean business and do not intend to
let their personal differences interfere
with unity Of action in the district,
was the vote for directors. j. j.
Rudkin, Gordon H. Taylor and e. N.
Hughes were elected directors by al
most unanimous vote. There were 127
votes cast on the Highlands. OF these
Rudkin received 120, Taylor 107 and
Hughes 123. In Kiona 13 votes were
cast, all for the creation Of the dis
trict. Accurate returns on the direc-
tor vote are not obtainable but it was
unanimous, or practically so, for the
three whose names We're printed on the
ballot.
The county commissioners on Sep
tember a will canvass the vote and Of
ficially declare the district created.
hen there will be no further work for
the land owners until plans for the
project have been approved and the
government is ready to act. The gov
eminent will build the project and will
accept the district bonds in payment
for its work.
Altho it is impossible to say definite
ly when official action will be taken IL
is understood that the engineers have
made their report on the project and
The decision of the interior department
should be made soon.

PEAR HARVEST is
ON In FULL SWING
Season Price Will Not be Far
from $35 a Ton-EIbertas
Start TO Move

There is no apparent slackening Of
demand in the pear market and the
price remains firm around $35 ton.
Eastern markets are reported TO be
buying freely and while the price may
drop to $50 dealers do not predict any
material slump in the market.
Pear harvest is coming up TO its
peak with receipts increasing daily.
The two selling agencies and the three
cash buyers have started carload ship
ments and every local packing house is
daily increasing its force of packers.
AS yet there has been no labor short
age either in the orchards or the ware
houses and Indications are that the
crop will be sent TO market in the best
of condition. The pears are running
a little small but the quality is good
and the percentage of culls is very
small.
This week vii see the finish of the
Slappy peaches and the beginning Of
the Elberta harvest. The Slappies as
did tho earlier varieties ripened up
unusually small, but the price at no
time dropped below as cents box.
Altho the Elbertas may be slightly
smaller than usual they will run more
nearly normal than the other varieties.
Buyers are offering to contract the Ell
bertas at 45 cents and there seems to
be no doubt as to the strength Of the
market.
Grapes have also started to move
at good prices. Watermelons and can
taloupes are likewise bringing good
prices and without hardly an excep-
tion everything in the fruit line is
fetching prices that are very satisfac-
tory to the grower. What the apple
market will be is still matter Of con-
lecture. If the grower is able to mar
ket his crop at fair price, this will
be without doubt the best year or
chardists of this valley have ever had.

a member of the Kennewick Branch

AT WORK FOR
SOLDIER BOYS
Kennewick Branch of Red Cross
Opens Headquarters and
Starts Active Work

The Kennewick branch of the Rec
Gross opened headquarters in the Com
mercial club rooms Tuesday when 9
, number Of the ladies spent the day
cutting out garments ready to be made
up. The local branch is starting out
with the intention of furnishing the
patients equipment for one base hos
pital. The first work will be on pa
jamas and ice and hot water bag COW
ers. To these Of the ladies who prefer
to knit the Red Cross will furnish yarn
needles and knitting specifications,
these supplies being furnished from
the national headquarters.
The Red Cross is making special
effort to supply the army with 1,5O0,-
600 sets of knitted articles before win
ter. It is hoped the result of this eff
fort will be that no American boy will
suffer from the cold in the trenches
this winter because he is not properly
equipped with warm clothing. In max
ing the appeal for the mobilization of
the country's knitters the Red Cross
leaders point out that the boys who go
into the trenches need knit clothing
much more than troops in any other
branch of the service.
Two new Singer sewing machines,
sent here from the Singer company's
North Yakima branch, have been in
stalled in the Commercial club rooms
and are for the use of any of the Red
Cross workers. Any inquiries regard
ing the work should be made to Mrs.
w. I. Mann, who may he reached by
telephone at her home on the High
lands and who will be at the club
rooms Tuesday of each week to give
out materials or receive completed
work.
The local membership of the Red
Cross has been growing rapidly and
before the winter is over it is expected
that several hundred women will be
working for the boys who must go to
fight. There seems to be some misun-
derstanding regarding membership.
There is only one Red Cross and con-
sequently only one membership. Ev-
cry person who pays the annual MEM
bership fee of one dollar becomes a
member of the Red Cross, no matter
TO what official unit of the Red Cross
The dollar is paid. The person who
pays his or her dollar to an authorized
of the Kennewick
Branch becomes exactly the same kind
# member as the person who sends
heir dollar to national headquarters
1t Washington, d. c. They are both
members of the American Red Cross
md are still members no matter where
hey go. The only difference is that
ifty cents of the dollar paid into the |
ocal branch is returned to it for ex-
,enditure here while all Of the dollar !!

LIEUT.. JEFFREY
JOINS BATTALION
Field Artillery Now Well Above
Peace Strength and Enlist
ments Continue

well, goodbye, boys, I'm off and de
not expect to come back until the wal
is over" said Lieut.. f. r. Jeffrey to
his friends along the street this morn.
ing before leaving to join his battalion
of field artillery. 81 am going from
here to Walla Walla and in few days
expect to be ordered to one Of the army
training camps. From there I don't
know where 1 am going, but my itin-
erary includes both France and Berlin.
There may be some little delays in
getting to Berlin, but there is where
we are going. Goodbye"
Since being commissioned a first
Lieutenant in Major Paul Weyrauch's
battalion of field artillery, Mr.. Jeffrey
has been detailed to recruiting duty in
Benton, Yakima and Franklin coun-
ties and his efforts have brought more
than rs men into the service. The bat
talon passed the required peace
strength several days ago and at noon
today numbered 440 men or within 100
men Of full war strength. |
Batteries A and B are stationed in
Walla Walla while battery C is still
in Spokane where it was recruited by
Captains Drain and Prell. Consider
able rivalry has already sprung up be-
tween the batteries and each one is
aspiring to be the crack one Of the
battalion. Word comes from Walla
Walla that the Benton Yakima battery
has the finest bunch Of young fellows
every one of whom is keen to make
a good soldier and get into active SER
vice. Without exception the boys are
from good homes, are strong-limbed,
energetic young fellows and are in the
service because they wanted to go and
not because they had to. Undoubtedly
when the times comes for Benton
county's bunch of artillerymen to get
into action they will give good ac-
count Of themselves. Lieut.. Jeffrey
has promised to keep the community
posted as to the progress and welfare
Of the boys thru the columns of this
paper and will write as often and at
as much length as his duties will per-
nit.
Lieut.. Jeffrey was accompanied
to Walla Walla today by Clarence
Shinn, Of Toppenish who was one of |
the first Yakima county boys to enlist
and who has been doing recruiting
work, and T. o. McDaniels, Kenne-
wick Valley rancher who enlisted yes
serday. Five recruits which Lieut..
Jeffrey signed up in Yakima county
will report tomorrow. One of the re-
,ent enlistments was AL. j. Romans,
If White Bluffs, who has had IL years
If service in the national guard.

COUNTY'S DRAFT
QUOTAOF 81 MEN
NOW COMPLETE
Local Board Concludes Examin-
alton of Second Call of $50
Young Men
THlRTY-SIX ARE ACCEPTED
Only Few of Claims for Exemption
Have Been Passed Upon by
the Board

The local exemption board which is
handling the army draft in Benton
county, has finished the examination
of the second call of $50 men, making
a total of 3Os called by the board. All
claims for exemption on the grounds
of dependents have rot yet been heard
but the board has now accepted for
service enough men so that another
call to fill the county's quota is not
probable.
Out Of the second call 36 have been
accepted for service and this number
will be slightly increased as several of
the claims for exemption will probably
be disallowed.
The following list shows the dis
position of each case as it came before
the board. Wyatt Moorhead, marked
as not reported, did report, but was
not examined but asked to be certified
directly into the service. He has made
two attempts to enlist but was turned
doVn on some technicality. He still
hopes to get into some branch of the
service.

ify regarding alleged violations OF
liquor laws of North Dakota. The
hearing was postponed until Friday
afternoon, following conference be-
tween the attorneys for the men and
the state. Mr. Brennan stated this
afternoon that he thought It possible
that an argument would be reached
as he was not anxious to have the
parties appear if the testimony he de-
sires is forthcoming from other
sources.
Charge Cigarette Selling.
A new development in the situation
is the issuance of warrants on charges
of cigarette selling. These warrants
will be served Immediately, accord
ing to the states attorney.
A total of 20 men have been bound
over to the summer term of the dis
trict court and Lola Campbell, who
yesterday swore that she sold no
liquor is facing a charge of perjury
as the result Of her testimony. When
she appeared in court today she had
no attorney and the states attorney
declined to hear the case until she
had secured legal advice. and Attor-
ney Eide was assigned to care for
her interests and the case will come
up tomorrow morning. H.
MIR. Brennan stated today that he
expected the case against Olaf A. Oh.
son, wealthy proprietor of the Lexing
ton hotel, would come up before the
end of the present week. ~. r
