SCOPE OF THE
BERRY UNION
Directors Consider Plans for
Handling Part of the Tree
Fruit Tonnage
MEMBERS ARE TO VOTE ON 1T
Hundred-Fifty Carloads of Pears and
Apples Minimum Tonnage to
be Considered

A movement has been started to en-
large the scope of the Kennewick-
Richland Marketing Union to include
tree fruit and to bring the unorgan-
lied orchard acreage under its control.
This plan of marketing is an out
growth of the campaign started some
time ago to bring the independent
growers into a new organization.
Last year a number Of the orchard
lists who were not members of the
Kennewick District association form
ed a temporary organization and con-
tracted with p. r. Parks, Of the Spo-
kane Fruit Growers company to sell
their pears and apples. This plan
proved generally satisfactory to those
who participated and it is proposed
this year to make such an organiza-
tion permanent. The plan of organiza-
tion did not include sales department
it being the intention of the growers
to assemble their crops under one con-
troll and to contract each year with
the selling agency that would offer
the most satisfactory terms. AS this
is the same plan that is followed by
the Marketing Union the idea of COM
bining the two organizations naturally
suggested itself to the growers.
At meeting of the orchardists at
the Highland club house Saturday
evening committee was appointed to
confer with the directors Of the Mar
keting Union. AS result of this con-
ference the Union directors have
agreed to submit the proposition to
the membership of the Union.
The policy of the Union has been
to handle no crops unless at least So
per cent Of the Kennewick- -Richland
acreage can be brought under its con-
troll. But the board has agreed to
take on the tree fruit provided it can
be assured at least $50 carloads Of
pears and apples and at least rs per
cent of the unorganized peach and
cherry acreage, and provided further
that such plan is authorized by a
vote of the membership.
The orchardists' committee is now
at work and as soon as they can line
up sufficient acreage to meet the re-
quirements Of the Union the directors
quirements Of the Union directors a
mass meeting of the Union member
ship will be called.
Those who have been active in pro-
noting the new organization are con-
fident that they will have no difficulty
in assembling the required tonnage.

TO EXTEND INTAKE

The suggestion of the Pacific Power
& Light company that the city be sup
piled with water from well in sea-
sons of extreme low water did not
meet with the approval of the city
council and as a result the intake at
the company's pumping plant is to be
extended far enough to insure an am
pie supply of pure water at all sea-
sons of the year. Local Manager A. A
Hall met with the city council Tues
day evening and agreed to carry ou'
the wishes of the city fathers.

OLD CARS LOOK LIKE NEW

/ Several local automobile owners
are being accused" of having new
cars. In pleading "not guilty" they
explain that the shiny car is the same
old one but that it has been given the
"Simonizing" process.
To sSimonizen. an old car is to give
it a finish and a lustre that makes it
look like new. This process has been
introduced in Kennewick by. VIM. II.
Broas, who is making his headquarters
at the Columbia Garage. Mr.. Broas
says that except in extreme cases Q
car can be completely refinished in one
day and that the cost is so small that
nobody need drive shabby car.
No car, however, is too shabby Ia
be restored by Mr.. Broas, as he has
the services Of an expert painter ia
retouch the spots from which the paint
has entirely disappeared.

DOKIES MAKE MERRY WITH
CLASS OF q CANDIDATES
Ceremonial of Dramatic Order knights
of Khorassan Held Here
81 Monday Night

The "Dokies" have come and gone
and during their stay in the city they
made life very interesting for class
of twenty-seven Tyros. The visitors,
one hundred of them were members Of
AL Kindi Temple Of Walla Walla and
came from their home city by special
train.
The special train was halted in Pas
co long enough to allow the Knights
to parade up town and back and to
gather in few unsuspecting Tyros.
After arriving on this side of the river
the unfortunates were herded up to
the K. of P. hall, where they were
robed in night shirts and caps and
bound together by paddock and chain.
Thus equipped they became the central
feature of street parade headed by
the Pasco band. Before being made
to tread the burning sands Of Khoras-
sans desert the candidates were ban
quoted in the basement Of the Con-
gregational church, where plates fol-
123 had been laid by the ladies Of the
church.
The customary ritualistic ceremon-
ial of the order was put on in the lodge
hall and at what hour the Knights de.
parted for their homes the town clock
knoweth not. .z
Among the Kennewick Knights Of
Pythias who took the degree were F

ued-Little Interest is Shown
Fully two-thirds Of the voters in
the Kennewick school district were not
sufficiently interested in the annual
school election to go to the polls and
vote Saturday and the selection of two
directors was rather a perfunctory af-
fair. E. o. Keene was reelected to
