TO THE PUBLIC

Due to the fact that our doctors
who went to the army have all re-
turned and that there is now no
shortage of physicians, and no great
epidemic raging such as we had the
past winter and spring, and especial
ly the desire on my part to devote ev-
cry moment of my time to my duties
as all-time health officer, / will do no
more private practice at all.
1 must give my undivided atten-
ton to the prevention of diseases
which are preventable, looking after
vaccinations, quarantine and isola-
ton, disinfection; frequent inspec-
tion of all public service places, such
as hotels, restaurants, butcher pens,
meat markets, depots, ice cream fac
tories, bakeries, candy kitchens, bar
ber shops, bottling works, ETC., to see
that they are clean and kept so.
/ will begin medical inspections of
the school children of the county
soon, along with numerous other du-
ties that an all-time health officer
iHuSt pcIloiLi.
l will not be competitor of any
doctor in the practice, and | ask and
expect nothing short of full and
hearty cooperation at all times in
the prevention of preventible dis
eases; and every doctor in the coun-
ty will find my department always
ready to serve them in every pos
sible way. We shall cooperate to
the end that much sickness and suf-
fering will be prevented, realizing
that the greatest economy in the
world is good health. There can be
no economy practiced in the home
where there is sickness.
We will have DR.. Boswell, of the
State tuberculosis Sanitorium, soon
for tour of the county with his tu-
berculosis exhibit; and we will be
able to examine quite a few people
with reference to tuberculosis. DR..
w. S. Leathers, director of public
health in Mississippi, will be with us,
and make several addresses in the
county.
The Mississippi State Board of
Health will do everything possible to
make the people of good old Monroe
County healthier, happier, and more
prosperous.

The Price of Cotton Seed.

The Commercial Appeal publish
es a report from Jackson that a
committee. which seems to be a
subcommittee appointed at mass
meeting held in Jackson in August.
has agreed on a price for cotton
seed of $4,000 a ton for hill land
seed and $500 a ton for delta
seed. This would give the farmers
of this section about SO cents a
bushel for cotton seed this fall
Now, the time has been when that
would have been a fair price but
that time is not now. Fifty dol
lars a ton is entirely too low a price
for cotton seed in comparison with
the price of other things. The
farmers should refuse to sell at $50
ton and demand a fair price.
Farmers of the south will lose mil
lions of dollars if these prices are
allowed to stand. Now, who is this
committee of alleged farmers and
what right have they to fix a price
for cotton seed? This whole matter
should be investigated at once.
Farmers should hold meetings, il
necessary. and protest against this
unfair price. Mr.. Garner, commits
sioner of agriculture, should explain
his connection with this affair and
what it all means. On its face il
looks like an effort to rob the farm
ers and we should not stand for it a
minute. Ripley Sentinel.

HORSE TRADER is GIVEN
DECENT BURIAL BY FRIENDS
Body of William Carter Laid to Rest
in Toppenish Cemetery on
Monday Afternoon

Altho he was a homeless, wandering
horse trader and his last dollar was
stolen from his dead body by his slay-
er, William Carter, murdered at his
camp on the Yakima river, Fiday,
February Ia, does not fill pauper's
grave nor was he buried at public ex-
pense. He was given decent Christ
ian burial at the hands of his friends.
Carter was one of the oldest and
most widely known horse traders of
the Pacific Coast. For years he has
followed his nomadic profession and
at some time during his career he has
pitched camp in almost every town
and village from southern California
to the Canadian border. Altho he and
his money We're always soon parted
the friendships he formed were last
ing. Altho he was rough and uncouth
his friends bring testimony that he
was always law-abiding and possessed
of rugged honor and simple honesty.
When the authorities pronounced as
futile their efforts to locate the dead
mans relatives, his friends, horse
dealers and traders from Yakima to
Kennewick, asked that his body be
turned over to them. They purchased
a casket, had the body properly pre-
pared for burial and shipped it to Wa
patio where funeral services were held
Monday afternoon. Burial was in the
Toppenish cemetery, where lot was
purchased by the friends.

p. Tracks East of Kennewick-
Richland Building

The Wenatchee Fruit Exchange will
soon begin the construction of new
warehouse and Office building in the
warehouse district north of the N. p.
Tracks. The Exchange has leased from
the railway company a frontage of $50
feet just east of the Kennewick-Rich-
land Warehouse company's building
and will erect building so by 80 feet
this year with the intention of en-
larging it later on.
Joe Bonn, the Exchanges county

KENNEWICK BASKETBALLERS
ANNEX ONE MORE GAME
Waitsburg is Defeated % to 20-To
Play in Walla Walla this
Week

And still the basketball team of
the Kennewick high school is unde-
feated. The game Friday evening
with the Waitsburg team was another
victory for the home boys, the score
being % to 20. According to the bas-
ketball fans this was in every respect
the "classiest" game played by the To-
cal team this year. The score at the
end of the first half was 8 to in
favor of Waitsburg. In the second
half the Kennewick lads reversed the
order of things and clearly outclassed
their opponents.
Friday evening of this week the
Kennewick team will go to Walla
Walla to play the high and will meet
Waitsburg for second time the fol-
lowing evening.
Fridays game was proceeded by a
game between the Kennewick and
Richland girl teams, which resulted
in a victory for the latter.

SCHOOL ELECTION
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
F. L. Fraser is Candidate for
School Director-To Vote on
Old School Building

The annual election of school dis
trict No. IL will be held Saturday af-
ternoon in the city hall from one until
seven o'clock. One director for a
three year term is to be elected to sue
ceed F. j. Arnold, who is serving by
appointment as successor to S. d.
Lynch.
As yet there is only one avowed ap-
plicant for the job. f. l.. Fraser, at
the insistence of his neighbors in the
Valley, has consented to become cam
didate. The Valley people feel that
they are entitled to representation on
the board. They argue that for sew
eral years they have had no director
and that board composed of one di-
rector from town, one from the High
lands and one from the Valley would
be an ideal combination.
In addition to selecting director
the voters of the district will be asked
to vote for or against disposing of the
old school building in the Garden
Tracts.

Mr.. Graham's testimony was cor
roborated by that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Seeley and by VIM. Hopkins, who came
into the cafe after the argument had
started. Mr.. Seeley testified that at
breakfast time Eatinger had started
the same argument with other of his
guests and at that time his criticism
of the government was so pronounced
that he had been. tempted to forbid the
man coming into his place of business
again.

NEARLY 900
CARS OF FRUIT
OUT OF HERE
Two Thirds of COunty's Orchard
Tonnage was Produced by
Kennewick- -Richland
THOUSAND CARS THIS YEAR
Last Years Total was Reached in
Spite of Almost Total Failure
of Soft Fruit Crop

According to estimates compiled by
Luke Powell, district horticultural in
spector, Benton county last year ship
ped 897 carloads Of orchard products,
including melons, asparagus and pota-
toes. OF this tonnage there was ship
ped from Kennewick, including Rich
land, sos cars, or 66 per cent Of the
county's total shipments.
This total was reached in the face
of an exceptionally light crop in the
other end of the county and almost
total failure Of the soft fruit crop
there being but seven carloads Of
peaches shipped in the entire county.
Mr.. Powell estimates that the fruit
crop proper, not including strawberries
or melons, was sold for $854,222. Lo-
cal fruit dealers are of the opinion
that his price estimates are probably
too conservative and that he is away
too low on the price of cherries, which
he estimates at cents per pound.
Eight cents would be nearer, accord
ing to local dealers.
The big fruit crop, Of course, was
apples, with Winesaps heading the list
with 81 per cent of all apple ship
ments While the local apple crop
was good local growers and dealers
say that it was really below normal,
especially some of the earlier varieties.
There was shipped from here 2S6 cars
of Winesaps, 80 cars Of Rome Beau
ties and only 81 cars of Jonathans.
With normal crop there would have
been nearly as many Romcs or Jona-
thans as Winesaps.
Based on last years shipments and
the present crop outlook, dealers pre-
dict tonnage of at least 1000 cars
out of Kennewick this year. The set
of fruit buds on the trees is the heav-
lest in years and to date weather con-
ditions have been ideal and orchards
are in excellent condition.
The carload shipments as compiled
from Mr.. PowelI's table follow:

Total

In Mr.. Powelps table which is print
ed on page three of this issue it should
be noted that the shipments are given
in crates, boxes, tons and cars. Grapes
and cherries are given in tons. Prunes
and plums are given in both crates and
tons, the item "8s" for Kennewick
and Richland is tons and the others
are crates. Watermelons, potatoes
and Gull apples are given in cars. I'm
der cantaloupes Kennewick and Rich
land should be credited with 10 cars
while the item @177" for Kiona is but
crates.
1t should be noted also that these
estimates are based upon railway ship
ments and consequently do not include
the neary 1000 tons of local fruits
used by the Church Mfg. company.

STARTS FIGHT;
GOES TO JAIL
Stranger Gets in Bad by Roast
ing Government in Front of
AL Graham

Ira G. Eatinger, as a result of a
fistic encounter with A. w. Graham,
in the Commercial Cafe shortly after
noon Monday, is in the city Jail serv-
ing out fine of $25 and costs.
According to the testimony intro
duced in Judge C. Staser's court the
fight was provoked by the offensive
talk of Eatinger in criticizing the
government and making utterances
which his hearers construed as pro :
German and disloyal. According to
the story told by Mr.. Graham and con-
firmed by Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Seeley,
proprietors of the cafe, Mr.. Graham
was eating his dinner at one Of the
rear tables and was the only occu-
pant Of the room when Eatinger enter
ed. The stranger passed by several
empty tables and took seat at Mr..
Graham's table and almost immediate
ly started a discussion of the new
terms of the armistice and the plan
for the league of nations, offering very
pointed criticisms Of both. During the
conversation he is alleged to have said
that the stories of German atrocities
in Belgium and France were lies and
that the returned soldiers and others
who circulated them were liars; also
that he had lived in this country a
good many years, intended to continue
to live here and would fight against
the country as long as he did live here.
After the argument became rather
heated Mr.. Graham left the table and
went to the cashiers desk. Eatinger
continued his rant against the gov
ernment and Mr.. Graham accused him
of being a pro-German. His reply was
you're a damn liar!" and the fight
was on. When Mr.. Seeley parted them
the. two men were on the floor with
a table on top. Both bore evidences
of the battle about their heads and
faces and Eatinger had q broken fin
ger on the left hand.
The stranger was arrested, by Chief
of Police Shepard and before being
taken into justice scourt, he was in
terrogated by u. S. Commissioner G.
e. Tweedt. He said that until re-
Gently his home had been near Para
disc, Montana, where he had a home
stead. He is carpenter and had
come here to work for the Warren
Construction company. He claims to
have worked recently in Portland,
Bremerton and Seattle. He said he
was in Seattle during the recent strike
but had not participated in it. He is
a member of the carpenters union
but disclaimed any connection with the
]. w. w. or other organizations of
doubtful loyalty and said he was not
in sympathy with their policies. He
claims to have a son with the Ameri-
can Army of Occupation in Germany
and says the son has been cited for
bravery. He stoutly maintained that
he is thoroly loyal and that his crit
icism was not of the country, but of
the policies of the present admins
tration.

Gent Transfers and AS
sorting Companies Do
Not Need Increased Rates

Brooklyn Republicans, who have al
ready started their fall campaign, yes
terday launched another broadside at
Democrats in general and at the local
machine in particular. The two-cent
transfer order Of the Public Service
Commissioner was attacked as unneces-
sary. and an appeal made for the voters
to show their disapproval by voting the
Republican, ticket.
After charging that some persons
made more than s12,0o000O in "stock
gambling" on L. r. T. and B. r. T..
stocks since Governor Smith appointed

sioner and John II. Delaney Transit
Commissioner, the broadsidc declares:

pointed by Governors Sulzer and Glynn
were driven from Office"
questions and answers:
81. Who is Lewis Nixon? He has
been engaged in shipbuilding construc-
ton, but not in railway work. He
was Croker's lieutenant in Tammany
Hall. He was one Of the three Sa-
chems LETT in charge Of affairs when
Croker went to Europe.
80 Who is John H. Delaney? He is
not financier He is not an engi-
neer He is not a man experienced in
railway construction. He was Sui
zer's Commissioner of Efficiency and
Economy
20. Why do you pay seven cents in
stead of five cents? Because Commits
sioner Nixon so decreed
Il. Why did not the Republicans raise
the fares when in power? Because the
steady growth of the city assures that
the stocks OF the lnterborough and the
B. r. 7. will pay good dividends on the
investment at fivc-ccnt fare in the
long run, disregarding temporary con-
dtiOns.
20. Why are the corporations so
