TRIBAL INDIANS ARE EXEMPT.
War Department Rules That Red Men
Are Same as Aliens.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Tribal
Indians are not subject to army draft
because they are not citizens and may
claim exemption on the same ground
as aliens. The war department for
mally ruled on the question at the re-
quest of counsel for some of the tribes
men. Nearly all Indians maintain tribal
connections, it is said, and the number
who will be exempt under the ruling is
estimated at more than 10000.

STACKER SENT
TO NORTH YAKIMA
Youthful I.W.W. Bound Over. to
Federal Court by Commits
siOner e. w. Trenbath

Ed. Richeson, Stacker picked ur
by Chief of Police Copeland last Sun.
day, had preliminary hearing before
U. S. Commissioner E. w. Trenbath
this morning and was bound over in
the sum of $1,000 to appear at the next
session of the federal court. He was
taken to North Yakima on No. 1 to-
day by U. S. Marshal Thorpe.
The defendant, whose home is in
Delaware, and who has been a floater
in the West for the last five years,
says he is willing not only to register
but to enlist in the navy if released.
The youth, who was 81 years old last
January, testified that he spent regis
tration day in the jungles near North
Yakima. He reads but little and
poorly, he says, and did not realize
the seriousness of failure to register.
Older men with whom he associated
he said regarded the registration as
a joke and advised him to pay no at
tentlon to the call.
Richeson is an I. w. W., having tax
en- out membership recently in the Gle
Elum local. He claims he was forced
to join the order to get a job at the
Cascade Lumber company's camp,
which has been closed down for sew
eral weeks on account of the I. W. W.
laoorers who struck following a de-
mald for unreasonable pay and short
er hours. |!
Two other youths who were ar
rested here the first of the week as |
'lackers were released after they had
written home for their cards which
hey had neglected to carry with them. |
Local authorities are keeping the
closest lookout for slackers, and no
strangers enter the CITY who
ire not called upon to produce their
ards.

Business Men to Make WhirI-
wind Campaign to Complete
Sale of Season Tickets
PRICE GOES UP SUNDAY NOON
Manager Writes that this Years Pro-
gram is Making Biggest Hit
in Company's History :

Tomorrow (Friday) is Chautauqua
ticket day. The local committee has
outlined plans by which they expect
to make house to house canvass of
kennewick and the outlying district
and tomorrow evening they expect to
have sold the four hundred season
tickets that have been pledged. To
date about $50 tickets have been sold
and delivered and many more have
been reserved on promises. With %
big attractions the price of $3.50 for
adults season tickets makes the price
of each admission ticket only little
more than 10 cents. The single adj
mission price to four Of the best at
fractions amounts to more than the
price Of a season ticket which admits
the holder to all attractions and which
is transferable between members of
any one family. A special price of
$1.50 has been made for high school
students and $1.00 for grade pupils,
while children under school age will
be admitted free. The season ticket
sale will close Sunday noon and at
2:30 Sunday afternoon the doors of
the big tent will open for the first
performance.
Mr.. Owen, advance agent, has ar
rived in town and will personally su-
perintend all plans for putting every
hing in readiness for opening day. Mr..
Owen says the Chautauqua is a great
hing for the youngsters and when
hey have attended one Chautauqua
hey will always be loyal Chautauqua
boosters. To stimulate interest among
he kiddies Mr.. Owen will give a kite
o each of the first 25 hddies who hunt
i'm up and produce season ticket.
Word comes from the Coast head
uarters of the Ellison White Bureau
hat this years six-day program is
laking even bigger hit everywhere
han they had expected. j. J. Hurd,
ne western manager, writes:
"At several different times this
pring have written you of the pro-
ram that we had assembled for your
BIZ Chautauqua, but all that had
ritten was based on past perform
nces of the different artists and lee
lrers. have now been present for
eeks in the south where we start
arly and want to tell you fearlessly
nd frankly that we have never built
rogram that has hit harder or pleas
better. During the past weeks we
ave been in several cities in Califor-
a that have had every one Of our
'ograms, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916 and
'1T They are unanimous in telling
J that we are this year delivering
e best Chautauqua that we have ever

STRAWBERRIES
FINISH STRONG
Price Goes Up as Quality Goes
Down-A Average is Better
Than Last Year

Never before in the history of the
strawberry industry in this valley has
the season closed with rising mar
ket and a demand that could not be
filled. Last evening the Kennewick-
Richland Marketing Union shipped out
about 500 crates which really marks
the close of the season altho there
will be P few struggling crates for sew
eral days yet. In spite of the fact
that the quality was poor as it always
is at the end of the picking season,
the Union berries were sold yesterday
for $3.50 which is an advance of Is
cents crate over the price received
when the market was at its height.
Because of this strengthening Of
price the berries will net the grower
from 30 to 40 cents crate more than
the average price Of $2.43 for all
grades last year. This will in a meas
ure compensate for the light yield,
which was not much more than half
the normal crop.
The condition Of the market is
shown from the following from yes
terday's Daily Produce News, Of Sc
attle:
Scarcity Of strawberries was the
rule today; and on that account early
receipts were snapped up at high
prices. Arrivals included approxi-
mately 200 crates Of Kennewicks,
112. crates Of White Salmons and rs
crates of Olallas.
"Kennewick came definitely to an
end today, along with the announce
nent that Sales Manager L. j. Blot Of
he Kennewick- -Richland Marketing
Union, was making ready to close his
and leave for his home
n Spokane. The deal today fell dis
;inctively into two grades, No. ber-
les selling at $4.25 to $3.50 crate,
With not enough in sight to satisfy the '
and No. Is, representing the
.rade which last year were somewhat I
erisively called canning berries,'

selling at So. Perhaps there could b,
no stronger sidelight on the berry
situation than the fact that No. Is
which in reality are nothing but culls
altho described as "field rum" are
able to command an amazing price in
this market. The berries have the one
good quality Of flavor; otherwise they
would ordinarily be utterly impossible,
being small and for the most part pos
itively forbidding.
"But the berries have a definite SELL
ing value, and they are bringing the
money here. All in all, it is increas-
lngly evident that Mr.. Blot, as sales
manager of the marketing union, has
handled a most difficult situation with
his accustomed skill and finesse, and
has added to his 1aurels in this latest
instance of the fine art Of distributing
produce in manner satisfactory to
all concerned" -@.
Before leaving for Spokane todav
Sales Manager L. j. Blot told a rep
resentative of this paper that each
year he is more impressed with the
possibilities Of the strawberry indus
try in this valley. "Kennewick and
Richland should be shipping 300 car
loads of berries a year instead of 25
or 30" said Mr.. Blot. Gas matter
of fact the 800 carloads could be mar
keted just as easily ae could the few
thousand crates for we could then ship
In car lots to markets that we do not
even touch now. There is no getting
around it, the Clark's Seeding is the
best berry grown and this district has
clean sweep at the market. Instead
of only partly supplying few North
west markets we should be supplying ]
he markets of the Middle West. We
never have any great difficulty in driv-
ng the California, Missouri and soutb-
I'm berries from the Northwest mar
tets and we could do the same thing ?

1T seems to me that the growers .

brain as result Of a shooting mys
terry which has completely baffled thu
local police officers. Millard was found
in his potato patch at his home in the
Garden Tracts about 2 o'clock Tues
day morning by Mr.. Danford, who has
been living at the Millard home while
Mrs. Millard has been in North Yaki-
ma on visit.
Mr.. Danford Immediately summoned
DR.. L. G. Spaulding, who upon investi-
cation discovered that the man had a
gunshot wound high up on the fore
head. When picked up Millard was in
a semi-conscious state and could give
no coherent story of the accident.
Later he became more rational but
even then his story could throw but
little light on where the shot came
from. He says that he was hoeing in
his potato patch about 1880 o'clock
Monday evening when something hap
pened-he thought the pipe which he
was smoking at the time exploded.
Some time in the night he regained
consciousness to find that he was par
TALLY paralyzed and could not rise
from the ground where he had fallen.
and where he was found next morning
by Mr.. Danford.
The wounded man was taken to |
Walla Walla at noon Tuesday where
the wound was probed to a depth of
,hree inches without locating the bull

X-ray to locate the bullet, but as yet

which seems to be the only plausible
me, that the wound was inflicted by

of the Red Cross as absolutely neces-
sary for proper prosecution of it's
humanitarian mission. Of this $4,000
q few business men of Prosser have

$4,000 to be raised in the Columbia
River Valley. The territory has been
thoroly organized and the canvass will
begin Monday morning. Every house,
hold from White Bluffs to Carley will
be visited by a solicitor and every per-
son will be asked to do his or her bit.
Will you be financial Stacker or
will you take your stand as an active
participant when one of the committee

week?
1t is not necessary to pay the money
next week; it may be paid in weekly
or monthly installments, but must all
be paid by November 1. If you have
purchased Liberty Bonds and desire
to turn one or more of them in as your
subscription, the Red Cross Society
will accept them at their face value.

which have been and are fighting the
battles of democracy are given proper
medical attention?
Our own boys will soon be actively
engaged on one of the fronts. Gen. I

There was great Joy among officers
when IL became known that they would
likely get to France ahead Of the 27th

gloom which followed orders depicting
the second-linc commands Of all men in
the ranks. In regiments like tie list

and when these were ordered 10 first
line regiments il became noiscd ABOUT
that the depleted regiments were 70 be
