Dance and Park Fund is
Made Larger

Real dollars to the number of about
125 were added to the steadily grow
ing park fund as a result of the BEN
eft dance Wednesday evening at the

financially the affair was an unquali-
fed success. A large crowd was in
attendance and the cool evening whet-

The pavilion was artistically decor
ated by members of the Kennewiclx,
Business Girls club and the ticket
booth and refreshment stand were op-
Grated jointly by members of the Wo-.
mans club and Business Girls clubs.
The net proceeds of the evening
were materially increased thru the
generosity of Hayden & Beste who
gave the clubs free use of the pavil-
ion.
This is only one of the many park
benefit functions which are to be given
oy the women during the fall and

IKIMPEL HELD GUILTY OF
ASSAULTING DITCH WALKER
River Road Farmer Fined $25 and
! Costs for Throwing Rocks at
Clarence Ennis.

William and F. w. Kimple, father
and son, were brought into Justice
Stacer's court Wednesday on charge
of having assaulted Clarence Ennis,
ditch walker for the Columbia Irriga-
-tion district in the River Road neigh
.borhood.
The alleged assault was the OUT
come of difference Of opinion as to
the quantity of water the Kmples
were entitled to. Mr.. Ennis testified
that the assault was begun by the
elder Kimple who threw rocks at him
as he was making his rounds sever
al days ago. Later the son took part
in the quarrel and followed Mr.. Ennis
considerable distance along the
canal right of way and threw rocks
at him.
The evidence of the complaining
witness and the defendants was con-
fiicting but Judge Staser held that
the prepondcrance of the evidence was
on the side of the ditch walker and
imposed a fine Of $25 and costs am
ounting in all to about $45, on the
younger Kimple. The father who
pleaded that because of partial para
lysis it is physical impossibility for
him to throw rock, was released
with the admonition from the Judge
that he should be fined for contempt
because of the violent language used
in the presence of the court.
The prosecution was conducted by
County attorney G. w. Hamilton and
Attorney C. l.. Holcomb was counsel
for the defendants.

~ FL.
Northern Pacific officials place the
figure at $500 cars up to September
20.
So far as can be learned there will
be no fruit actually held up today by
the failure of the railroads to furnish
all the cars called for. This is due
to the over-estimation of the shippers
as to the amount of fruit ready for
loading, sc, that the cars on hand will
take care of the most re-
quirements for today.
The heaviest movement of fruit
from the, valley this year was on Sat-
urday and Sunday, when 167 cars
started rolling on the N. P. alone, ac-
cording to General Agent H. A. Glen.

cation Co. and three thousand acres
Of land which hold no water rights
from this company. The ratio of ben
eits between these two classes Of land
has been fixed at four and seven.
The amount of water to be deliver
ed to the lands under the district has
been figured on a basis of minimum

than a double waterright for the best
class Of land in the district and ar-
approximately 500, OF three wafer
rights for the poorest class Of land
in the district. 49,
nc soil survey heard has divided
the land into four classes and the
amount of water for each class has
besr apportioned ia accordance with
the relative water requirements. Ad-
ditional water may be purchased By
parties desiring the same up to the
maximum capacity of the canal, but
it is the opinion Of the board that the
fixed will be sufficient for
the needs of any of the lands, pro-
viding ordinary care is taken Of the

lowing schedule:

river silt or soil requiring approxi-
mately the same amount Of water.
Glass B Meaning the average
sandy loam of the valley.
Class C soil Meaning very sandy
soil down to grade too sandy to ir-
rigate.
Using this for basis the following
of land was adopted:
Glass land-36 inches of A soil;
II inches A soil and "a inches B soil
IL inches B soil and 20 inches A soil
80 inches B soil and inches A soil
"a inches A soil to cement gravel.
Class 2 land-16 inches A soil 70
cement gravel;
36 inches or over Of B soil;
"a inches B soil to cement gravel;
Glass 8 land-12 inches A soil to
cement gravel;

The tourist travel during the sum-

roads appeal to the man with car,
and while we have the poorest coun-
ty, financially, in the state, the re-
ports from the majority of these tour
lists are that Benton county roads are
to be proud of. The roads of the sur
rounding counties are in bad shape,
but this does not say that we have
good enough roads in our county, and
it is the aim of the representatives
who are to attend this convention to
find ways and means of improving
the highway and byway travel in this
county.

Talks Ball I'm Sleep.

II is probable that he talks baseball
In his sleep. At any rate. he often lies
awake to think out plans for the next
day and figure on some scheme for dis
tracing and annoying the enemy.
The fans like Pat because they see
him out on the coaching lines every
inning working and hustling for the
club. But this is only part Of his days
york. After the game he usually has
4 few words to say to the boys in COM
nendation of their good plays or correc-
ton for their mistakes. In the evening
he is plotting and planning for the next
day.
AS soon as he has had breakfast IN
the morning he is on his way to the
yard ready to give the boys the benefit
of his cogltatons. He holds a meeting
OF the regulars nearly every day at
which the signs and combinations are
gone over and the prospects for the
afternoon are reviewed. His whole
thought is on his work all the time.
Pat is not one of those who are anx-
ious to get home to dinner. He does not
despise his dinner, but he does not think
of It until after he has made every pos
-sible effort to win his ball game. This
is the basic secret of his success.

In which It played the worst ball II has

On the other hand the team has twice
staged winning streaks of seven straight
