CHERRIES ARE NOW MOVING
In FULL CARLOAD LOTS
First Full Car Shipped Yesterday by
Spokane Fruit Growers
Company

Cherries are being shipped out Of
Kennewick at the rate of about two
carloads daily and as in other years,
are bringing extra fancy prices on the
Northwest markets. The bulk Of the
crop this year is being handled by the
Spokane Fruit Growers company who
are receiving the cherries in bulk
from the grower and packing them
at the warehouse where force Of
forty packers are employed. The price
thus far has been ranging around 8
cents a pound to the grower.
The Spokane company shipped out
the first carload yesterday and anoth-
er will go out today. None of the
other agencies have yet shipped in full
cars but both the Pacific Fruit e. Pro-
duce company and the II. n. Davis
company have been making regular
in less than car lots, while
the Kennewick Fruitgrowers have
been consolidating their shipments
with the Spokane company.

AVERAGE BERRY PRICE IS
TWO-SEVENTY A CRATE
Crop was Very Light but Price is Best
in Recent Years - Pools
Closed

Altho this years strawberry crop
was one of the lightest ever known
the average price for all grades is
probably the highest. With the excep-
tlon OF few small accounts the Ken
newlck-Richland Marketing Union has
closed up all its pools and the sea-
sons returns can be very accurately
computed.
The Union shipped 22,4s2 crates Of
berries and the average price to the
grower is $2.7O a crate against $2.43
last year. The Union also handled
o'lio boxes OF asparagus at an aver
age price of about 80 cents to the
grower.

MAY EXPECT STOCK
YARDS IN 80 DAYS
Sharkey Says No Time will be
Lost in Completing the
First Unit

F. c. Sharkey, of Seattle, one of
the Northwest's pioneer stockmen and
livestock buyer, is here this week for
the purpose Of getting work started
on the Kennewick Independent Stock
yards. Speaking at the Commercial
club luncheon Wednesday Mr.. Shar-
key assured the members that the
building of the yards would go ahead
without delay. He said that within
ninety days the first unit of the yards
would be ready for business.
He said there was no doubt as to
the success Of the new enterprise
which has the backing Of at least nine
ty per cent Of the packing interests
OF the Sound. For many years he said
he and other stockbuyers and packers
had recognized the need of sales
yard at some central point this side
OF the mountains and that he had al
ways considered Kennewick as ideally
located for such yards. One great ad-
vantage Of this place is its location
in the heart of a great hay producing
section where stock that is not prime
for the market can be fed and then re-
shipped to the packing centers.
"Anyone who has had any exper-
ience in the stock buying business
knows that every successful sales yard
must have an inlet and an outlet
said Mr.. Sharkey. "Back Of the inlet
there must be stock producing coun-
try and the outlet must be to pack
ing industry. You have both here.
You have the great stock raising dis
tricts of the Northwest behind you
and practically all of the packing In
dustries in front Of you, and you have
three railroad systems between the
two"
Mr.. Sharkey will probably come here
as manager Of the local yards.

STORES ASKED TO CLOSE

Altho no celebration of the Fourth
of July has been planned in Kennewick
it seems fitting that this year of all
years this great national holiday
should be observed by every citizen.
Because of the present national crisis
it is well that no elaborate or expen-
sive celebration has been planned but
the people should feel it their duty to
desist from labor on that day and dedi-
cate it to quiet patriotism. z5#
AS mayor of the city wish to urge
the business men of Kennewick, inso-
far as it is possible, to close their
places of business the evening of July
8 until the morning of July 5, that
they and their employees may have
full holiday unbroken by business
cares. Geo. w. Sherk, Mayor.

WILL PROBABLY
KEEP CHAUTAUQUA
Alth0 Contract Has Not Been
Signed it Will Doubtless be
Here Next Year

Altho it has not yet been definitely
decided, it is reasonably certain that
the Chautauqua will become a perma-
nent feature Of Kennewick's commun-
ity life, or at least that it will be
brought here again next year. The
contract has not yet been signed up
but has been left with Chairman e. w.
Trenbath of this years local commit
tee and already a number of business
men and farmers have signed it. 1t
is proposed another year to increase
the local committee from twenty to
thirty members. The guarantee will
be the same, four hundred season tick
cts, three hundred Of which have al
ready been pledged on the cards
passed out the closing days Of the
Chautauqua.
Chautauqua closed Friday evening
with the Graus Swiss Alpine Yodlers,
which not only proved to be the most
popular attraction of the week but
which drew the largest crowd in spite
OF the fact that it had a strong rival
attraction in Barnes circus.

TO ORGANIZE
RED CROSS HERE
Auxiliary to the North Yakima
Chapter to be Formed Mon
day by Mrs. w. L. Lemon

Mrs. w. L. Lemon, Of North Yali-
ma, will come to Kennewick Monday
for the purpose of organizing an aux
iliary of the Red Cross. The organi-
zation meeting will be held in the
Commercial club rooms at 8 o'clock
Monday evening and every man or wo-
man in the community who wishes to
become Red Cross member or is in
terested in the work is invited to be
present. 49,
Mrs. Lemon last week organized an
auxiliary at White Bluffs and will 20
from here to Richland to organize
there. -
At the time the D. A. r. auxiliary
was organized here some time ago
there was no chapter Of the National
Red Cross nearer Kennewick than
Spokane, but since then chapters have
been organized at Walla Walla and
North Yakima and Kennewick has
been assigned to the Yakima district.
The D. A. R. auxiliary since its or
ganization has been doing splendid
work and is sending its supplies d.
rect to state headquarters in Seattle.
In fact it has established q record that
puts Kennewick well ahead Of many Of
the larger towns. It however, operates
only as an auxiliary to the National
Red Cross and not as part of it.
The new auxiliary will be a part Of
the national organization working un-
der the direction and supervision Of
the North Yakima Chapter.

LABOR SITUATION
GETTING SERIOUS
State Council of Defense is Now
Working on l. w. w. Problem
Fruit Crop Threatened

L
The State Council of Defense re-
Gently appointed by Governor Lister
is at present bending every effort to
prevent the curtailment of production
which is threatened by labor difficult
ties.
Already the logging and mill In
dustries have been tied up in different
parts of the state and with fruit and
grain harvests but few weeks away
there is grave danger of labor short
age unless some amicable settlement
can be reached with the /. w. w. who
are apparently the chief disturbing
element in the labor situation. Tuesday
of this week committee of farmers,
millmen and others gathered from all
parts of the state, and laid their dif-
ficulties before the governor and his
advisors. They asked that the I. w.
w. be declared an outlaw organiza-
tion and steps taken to curb their act
ivities in the state.
The Defense Council, however, has
refused to resort to.any such drastic
measures until q thoro investigation
has been made and an effort put forth
to bring the workers to reasonable
terms. Chas. Hebbard, Of Spokane,
commissioner Of food supply and con-
servation, E. P. Marsh, Of Everett,
commissioner Of labor, and A. L. Rog-
ers, Of Waterville, commissioner Of
farm labor, are now in the Yakima
valley conducting this investigation
and the entire council of Is members
will meet in North Yakima Monday.
The threat to the fruit industry Of
the valley is two-fold. In addition to
the demand for b scale Of wages high
er than ever paid, the, fruit growers
face shortage Of boxes, without
which they cannot market their fruit.
Guthrie & Co., which has 15-year
contract to furnish logs from the vi
cinity of Gle Elum to the Cascade
Lumber company Of North Yakima,
has been unable to operate for nearly
two months. AS a consequence the
Cascade company, the principal man.
ufacturer Of box shocks, is unable to
fill half the orders offered it.
For every branch Of agriculture and
horticultural activity the agricultural
workers organization, a subsidiary
of the I. w. W., has formulated a SER
les of demands.
In every case the demands include
an eight-hour day, with "time and
half" for overtime work and "double
time" for Sunday and holiday work.
In no case is the wage to fall below
$50 month, exclusive of board and
lodging. Some Of the scales demand
ed are:
Clearing land, $3.50 day.
Picking soft fruit, $3.50 day.
Picking apples or potatoes SIS day.
Timber operations, $3.50 day.
All river work, SIS day.
Teamsters, $5 a day.
Fruit box making, Sc day.
Apple and peach packing, 81 day.
Baying, So day.
Stacking, SIS day. X
All farm laborers are to receive a
minimum of $50 month and for ir-
rigatCrs $75 month is asked. If the
work in any class of labor is more
than half mile from the living quar-
ters the trip each way must be made
on the employers time. The demands,
both for agricultural and timber work
are for one bunk for each man; no
two-deck hunks, mattresses and bed

$61O1.5O

Word from Prosser indicates that
the other end Of the county has just
about kept pace with this and the total
there will be around $4,000, making
the total of $4,000 for Benton county.
This ratio seems to have been carried
out thruout the Yakima district which
was asked to raise $4,000 and finish
ed with a total Of about $130,00O. The
state, too, will far overrun its quota
OF one million while incomplete returns
give the nation about $114,000,000.

More Than Six Thousand Dollars
Subscribed in Eastern Half
of Benton County
HANFORD IS BANNER TOWN
Two Up-River Towns Raise More than
Four Times the Amount
Asked of Them

people OF the eastern nalf or benton
county rolled up total in excess of
six thousand dollars or more than
double the amount asked of them. The
response to the mercy call has been
splendid in every part of the valley
and every district has exceeded it's
quota.
To Hanford belongs the honor ban
ner. Asked to do its share toward
raising $500 apportioned to the up
river country, that little town alone
finished the week with subscriptions
totalling $1293, or more than five
times the amount asked for it. White
Bluffs, too, did excellent work with
subscriptions amounting to $930.75.
This gives the two towns a total of
$2223.75, or more than four times
their quota.
Richland went well beyond it's quota
Of 5000 and finished with $774.35.
Thus the combined subscriptions Of
Hanford, White Bluffs and Richland
lack but $1.90 of three thousand dol
lars.
While the district from Richland
this way, including Horse Heaven,
subscribed more than the full quota
Of $4,000 the subscriptions figured on
per capita basis fell considerably
short Of the pace set by the up-river
towns. At that the rural districts had
better showing than did the three
wards Of Kennewick which exceeded
their quota by only small percentage.
The grand total as compiled by Sec
retary F. r. Jeffrey today was &c.
101.50. Because of the fact that some
OF the workers have not yet turned in
their receipt books it has been i'm
possible to accurately check the re-
suits. It is likewise impossible at this
time to give the totals for the subdi-
visions in the Kennewick district for
the reason that some of the workers
turned in their cash and cards direct
ly to Treasurer Vibber while others
reported to their team captains and
the committee has not yet had time to
list the cards and make the segrega-
tions. Contributions from some Of
the small communities down the river
are still coming in and the final re-
turns will be slightly in excess Of the
present figures.
Final totals from the up-river towns
and approximate totals for the Kenne-
wick district are as follows:

After years Of false alarms and con-
lectures friends Of Colonel Edward
Rowland Robinson Green and the;
public generally were interested in the
reports of shis marriage. Colonel
Green isl the only son of the late Mrs.
Hetty Green and is reputed to have
side stepped the Establishments of
5000 women. He is 40 years old and
has been almost a professional bach
e1or.
Colonel Green's yacht, the United
States, has recently been ref1tted at q
reported cost of $1,0O0.o00. Among
her unique features are 4S guest
rooms, one for each state. The new
furnishings and DECORATIONS of the
bridal suit are said to furnish a new
record in sumptuousness and costli-
ness.
Colonel Green's wealth is estimated
| ia $50, 100000. He has frequently
been reported as engaged. Some years
ago, when a story was published that
| he was looking for a wife, women all
| over the country applied for the dis
! tfnction. Colonel Green told a friend
recently that in his attic he had sew
eral truck loads Of photographs sent
| to him at that time.
