corated with bridal wreath spirea.
Leota Byrd, Halle Simms, jeanette
Huntington and Hope Taylor were
flower girls forming an aisle with
white ribbon festooned with bridal
wreaths and pink chiffon bows for the
bridal couple. .....saa
The bride and groom left at 1850
for Spokane amid a shower Of rice and
flowers. After a short honeymoon

MRS. A. BURNS DIES AT
HER HOME in THE VALLEY
Was Not Seriously Ill Until Day
before Her Death - Funeral
Held Tuesday

Mrs. A. Burns died Of anemia early
Monday morning at her home between
this city and Finley. Altho in i'll
health for more than a month her con-
dition did not become serious until
Sunday and her death was a sad sur
prise to the many friends of the fam
lily. Funeral services were conducted
at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock by Rev. K. S. Tontz, of the
Congregational church.
Mrs. Burns was born in Scotland,
November a, 1865. She was married
to Mr.. Burns March IL, 1892 and
came to America that same year. They
lived in Spokane until two and half
years ago when they came to make
their home in the Kennewick Valley.
Mrs. Burns was a member Of the
Westminster Congregational church of
Spokane. She was known to her
friends as a quiet, unobtrusive, but an
exceptionally fine woman who was de-
voted to her family and her home life,
Besides her husband she leaves two
daughters, the Misses Jessie and Jean.
Her brother, M. Marr, Of Salem, and
Mr.. Burns brother, Of Tacoma, came
here to attend the funeral.

three weeks late, is being held back
by cold cloudy weather. Aside from
delaying the marketing season wealth
er conditions, however, are not prov
ing serious menace to the crop. The
berries are growing and when the sun
does begin to shine the grade will
probably run heavy to extra fancies,
and the first pickings will be unus-
ually heavy.
One Of the worst features of the
backward season is the upsetting of
labor calculations. Pickers are al
ready beginning to come into the val
ley and most of them can not afford to
be idle and the growers cannot afford
to pay them wages with nothing to do.
Manager p. r. Parks, of the Spo-
kane Fruit Growers, who is here this
week, says that because of abnormal
conditions in every line Of business it
is impossible to make any reasonably
accurate forecasts of the market. He
knows of no reason why the berries
should not bring good prices. Altho
late, they are still in the lead Of other
Northwest berries. The greatest dam
ger of slump in price is from rapid
ripening. Mr.. Parks says that should
the weather turn hot the berries will
come on with such rush that it will
be impossible to pevent congestion in
some Of the market cities.

in their hall. A parade will be formed
at the foot Of Second street and will
proceed to the hotel corner where au-
tomobiles will be waiting. Short de-
coration services will be held in River
View cemetery and all citizens are in
vited to take part in the ceremonies.
The Memorial Day program will be
given in the Methodist church at 2
o'clock p. m. The program will be
opened with short memorial service
by members Of the local G. A. r. Post.
This service will consist of the read
ing of orders from national G. A. R.
headquarters and the speech Of Gen.

RECITAL ENJOYED

A large audience enjoyed recital
given by the piano and violin pupils of
Mrs. 7. B. Hopkinson in the Methodist
church Monday evening. With the
exception of few numbers the pro-
gram was given by children whose
work reflected great credit upon the
teaching methods of their Instructor.
The sale Of souvenir programs netted
the local auxiliary of the Red Cross
$13.05. "

ASK FRANCHISE
FOR STOCKYARDS
Seattle Packer Wants Permis-
sion to Build on his Site
Near s., p. & S.

Kennewick's stockyards have come
to life. At a special meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening an ordinance
granting to c. H. Frye, of Seattle,
was given its first and second read
ings. The ordinance which was drawn
by Mr.. Frye's attorney, provides for
the closing of one Of the city's streets
near the S., P. & s. depot and gives
Mr.. Frye, his successors or assigns,
the privilege of operating stockyards
in the city limits on the property
which he now owns for a term Of fifty
years.
The franchise ordinance was given
its first and second readings without
discussion. 1t is probable that q
clause fixing the time for beginning
construction will be written into the
ordinance when it comes up for final
passage at the councils first regular
meeting in June.
In requesting that the ordinance be
passed Mr.. Frye wrote that he ex-
poets to begin construction Of the yard
at once and asked that there be no de-
lay in passing the ordinance. It was
to speed up the passage that spec
ial meeting Of the council was called
So far as is known the yards will
be built according to the plans as out
lined several months ago when the
Seattle Portland Union stockyards
company was Incorporated by Mr..
Frye and other prominent packers
and stockmen Of the Northwest. At
that time Mr.. Frye and his associates
purchased a site Of about Ia acres
near the s., p. & s. depot.

DOWN RIVER VIA
EVERGREEN ROUTE
Party of Good Roads Enthusiasts
Make Trip from Kennewick
to GOldendale

Benton County Good Roads associa-
tion, Secretary A. j. Elrod, of the
Evergreen Highway association, Coun-
ty Commissioner R. E. Pratt, and E.
w. Trenbath, chairman Of the Good
Roads committee of the Commercial
club, made a trip the first Of the week
from here to Goldendale to view out
a prospective route for the Evergreen
Highway which is to provide q new
Iall-the-year-around highway across
the state.
The trip was made in Mr.. Williams
big Buick Six which negotiated every
( hill and sand blow without difficulty.
At Longview ]. E. Mccullough Joined
the party, at Carley M. E. Carley be-
came passenger and at Roosevelt
w. E. Reeder was taken aboard.
In making the trip the men at
tempted to travel along the river
wherever possible. From here to
Plymouth the went across. the
Horse Heaven hills. They did not take
to the hills again until after leaving
Roosevelt altho twice they were forced
to leave the wagon road and travel
along the S., p. & S. right of way.
With the exception Of about five miles
there is good road between Ply
mouth and Carley. This stretch is
between Paterson and Sage, where a
new road is being built, about two
miles having already been construct
ed. When this work is finished there
will be good road from Kennewick
to the Klickitat county line.
It was between Alderdale and Roose-
welt I'M Klickitat county that they
were forced to take to the railroad
tracks. At each place the road could
be made passable with very little
work. A 30-foot bridge across Pine
creek would remedy one of the de-
fects and small culvert overcome the
other. At Roosevelt they left the
river for the first bench and came down
A
to the river again at Fountain and
then out thru the Goodnoe Hills to
Cliffs. They had hoped to travel by
the river route from Cliffs to Maryhill
but were forced to detour back thru
Goodnoe Hills and across the uplands
to Goldendale.
They returned by way of Bickleton
and Mabton, distance of 119 miles.
which they made in 5 hours and 35
minutes actual running time. On the
trip down they travelled 14S miles but
had they not been forced to desour
this route would have been shorter
than the other.
Alho it will probably be a good many
years before road is built along the
North bank of the Columbia, members
of the party say that at no great cost
a good highway can be constructed
along the benches between here and
J Vancouver. 4

$1O8 FOR CRATE OF
KENNEWICK BERRIES
First "a Quarts Are Auctioned
in Spokane for Benefit of Red
Cross - SIS for One Box

Kennewick's first crate Of 1917
strawberries was shipped to Spokane
last Tuesday and it's sale set new
high price for berries. How the crate
was sold at auction is told in the fol-
lowing from the columns Of the
Spokesman-Review:
The first crate of strawberries to
reach Spokane this season from the
Kennewick district, and the first 1917
northwestern fruit Of any kind Of
fered for sale brought $10s.75 at pub
lie auction in the Davenport hotel yes
terday. The proceeds go to the Red
Cross thru arrangement with the Spo-
kane Fruit Growers company, mar
keting agents for the Kennewick
growers.
The first box went to Jerome Day
for SIS, approximately so cents a
berry. J.. M. Davenport obtained the
second for $40. Other buyers at fancy
figures were w. J. Hall, S.; F. r.
Culbertson, S.; L. J. Blot and II. ].
Shinn, 81 each; II. j. Bensinger, So;
Jerome Day purchased the 10 boxes
remaining after the first lot was sold
for $50 and Mr.. Davenport also pur-
a number of boxes. There were "a
pint boxes in the crate.
H. G. Hawkins, representing the
marketing company, acted as auction
eer at first and M. Seidenbach later
relieved him. The affair was managed
for the Red Cross by Mrs. ]. v. Rich
ards, who was assisted by Miss Aileen
Slawson, Miss Doris Taylor, Victoria,
B. c., Miss Beatrice Dick, Miss Marie
Oudin, Miss Bonnie Brooke and Mrs.
Carl Ultes. Mr.. Davenport presented
each one with box. Mrs. Richards
sold hers at home to ]. P. M. Richards
for SIS and turned the money into the
Red Cross fund.
F. C. Stetter donated Red Cross
boxes in which the fruit was sold and
Van Der Loeff contributed the signs
in the hotel lobby and restaurant, call
ing attention to the auction. j. B.
Clark and Edwin Ham gave Mrs.
Richards 81 each to bid in box, it
possible, in their absence. She was
unable to secure one at the bargain
price, but turned the money into the
fund.
The crate was shipped by the Ken
newick-Richland Marketing Union and
its contents came from the patches Of
several of the union members. Two
crates were shipped Tuesday, one yes
terday and there will probably be none
today.

 IN AGREEMENT IN
 WATER LITIGATION
Prior Rights Case Dropped
 by Complainant, Probably
 Terminating This Class of Actions in Court Here

Dismissal of the action of C. T.. Thompson against the Salt River valley Water Users association, an action instituted in the superior court for the purpose of testing the power of the association to refuse to deliver water to certain land own CTS who have not signed up for water rights, means the peaceful termination of litigation covering the question of the delivery of normal flow water. It means that those, a very small majority who were plan ming to rest upon their normal flow rights and who refused to meet the association requirements for water right payments and, incidentally, payments for the whole reclamation project in proportion to their hold ings, is at an end.
 On it's part the association has agreed, through it's board of gov ernofs, to rebate penalties due be- cause the minority had not applied for water rights within the speci- fled time, provided they do so apply and pay up prior to the first of next year. Otherwise the payments will be the same as those of the great majority who have applied for such rights and paid their assessments toward the project.
 While MT. Thompson was alone in his case, he really had the backing of several others who relied upon their normal flow rights in trying to force the association, through the courts, to carry the water they are undoubtedly entitled to, through project ditches toward which the complainants had paid nothing or at least, had refused to pay any thing in the future.
 Judge Kibbey was satisfied that the position of the association was good, but 1t was felt that the slight concession as to penalties made was warranted. The acceptance of this slight concession indicates that it is realized that the chance of success in similar cases is too small to war rant the prosecution of complaints in the courts.
