4 Goes Overheard is
Not Great

one OF the Standard Oil company's
olg tank wagons, loaded with 700 gal.
Ions OF gasoline, took a bath in the
Columbia River at the Kennewick
docks Saturday. ~.
The Pasco station ran short of gas
and sent one of it's horse-drawn wa
gons over here for an emergency sup
ply. AS the tank was being driven
onto the ferry on the return trip, the
rope which anchored the ferry broke,
the boat put out from the landing
and the team and tank went into the
river. Quick work on the part of the
driver who cut the horses loose from
the wagon saved them from possible
drowning and after several hours. of
hard work the big wagon was hauled
ashore. Only slight damage was done.

TO HONOR MEMORY
OF ROBERT ELY
Local Post of American Legion
to Bear Name of Boy who
Died at Sea

kennewick's post of the American
Legion was formally named at a meet
ing of ex-service men in the City Hall
Tuesday evening and at a meeting
Friday evening of this week its organ
ization will be perfected by the cleo
ton of officers and selecting delegates
to the state convention.
The local organization will be
known as the Robert Ely post No. SS
OF the American Legion, thus honor
ing the memory of Kennewick boy
who lost his life in the World war.
The constitution of the Legion pro-
vides that no post can take the name
of any living individual and the gem
eral practice is to name the posts af-
ter some "hore" boy who lost his life
in the great war. As no Kennewick
boy lost his life on the battlefield it
seemed fitting to the majority of those
at Tuesdays meeting that the
tribute should be paid to the memory
of Robert Ely, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. |
N. Ely, who died of pneumonia on
board transport and was buried at sea.
The name of Frank Dresser, of Rich
and, who was killed in action was
suggested, but inasmuch as post may
be organized at Richland later, it did
lot seem fair to deprive the Richland
'oys of the privilege of honoring the
memory of young Dresser should they
wish to do so.

KENNEWICK MAY
BE LAUNDRYLESS
Proprietor of Star-Palace is I'm
decided Whether to Move
Plant or Reopen Here

AS the Courier-Reporter goes to
press nobody knows whether or not
Kennewick is to continue to have a
laundry ALI that Mr.. Hagerman,
proprietor of the Star-Palace knows is
that Saturday morning he will begin
to dismantle machinery and pack up
preparatory to moving from the pres
ent location. During the week Mr..
Hagerman has been negotiating with
several prospective buyers and it may
be that by the end of the week deal
will be closed for the sale of the plant.
Mr.. Hagerman says there is only
one other building in the city that can
be converted into laundry without
considerable expense and that is the
Henneberry brick On Front street.
Even if the equipment were moved
to this location it could not be gotten
ready for use next week, consequently
the town will be laundryless next week
regardless of whether the plant is
sold or not. Mr.. Hagerman has no
definite plans as to what he will do
in case no sale is made. He will
either move the plant to another town
in the state or open up in a new To-
cation here.
+. R. Jeffrey, who recently purchas-
ed the laundry building, says that as
soon as the laundry vacates work will

But Little Interest Shown. at
Special Election 60. Voting
More Funds

At the special school election Sat-
urday afternoon the 3-mill additional
tax levy was authorized with only one
dissenting vote. As there was no ap-
parent opposition but little interest
was taken in the election and there
were only 80 votes cast.
With this authorization of addition
al funds the board can now go ahead
with plans for the school year in a
manner that will insure good work
in each department. Outstanding
warrants in the sum of about SO, 100
will be retired, an additional bus will
probably be put on and an effort will
be made to engage one more teacher
for the high school.

CLUB TAKES RAP W
AT BOTH FERRIES
Petition Asking that Franchises
Be Revoked will be Filed
With Commissioners

The spirit of, dissatisfaction with
the ferry service across the Columbia
especially at Hover, which has been
growing for some time, reached a eli
max Wednesday when the Commercial
club voted to petition the county COM
missioners to revoke the franchises of
the Kennewick-Pasco and the Hover
Alfalfa ferries.
This action was precipitated by DIR.
A. G. Tullar, who charged that the
Hover ferry service was abominable
and the Pasco ferry not much better.
He said that James Gavin, who op-
crates the Kennewick Pasco ferry
owns large interest in the Hover
ferry and consequently has monop-
oily on the crossing business in this
section of the country. The business,
he said, was ample and the charges
high enough to warrant first class SER
vice, but the ferry owners persisted
in turning deaf ear to all complaints
and showed no disposition whatever
TO give any accommodation either to
local or tourist trade.
DR.. Tullar's accusations, especially
as to the Hover ferry, We're heartily
seconded by several of the club mem-
oers. E. M. Sly said he had received
frequent complaints against the Ho-
yer ferry, among which was one from
4 business man of Pendleton who had
lriven thru here recently.
The motion to ask the commissions
srs to revoke the franchise was car
led without dissenting vote, with
ome of the members not voting. The
secretary was instructed to prepare
he petition and file it with the county
commissioners Immediately.

WIPDNG APPLES
IS NEW JOB AT
PACKINGHOUSES
Somebody Back in Boston Dis
covers that Apples are Spray
ed with Arsenate "
SUMMERS SENDS WARNING
u. 81 Chief of Chemistry Rules that
Excessive Spray Deposits Must
be Removed r.

Not little excitement was caused
in fruit circles here this week upor
the receipt of word that the city and
federal authorities in Boston were con.
demning Northwestern boxed apples
because of the spray deposits on them.
The information reached here in a
telegram to j. w. Vickers, of the
Highlands Fruit company, from Con-
gresham John w. Summers. The
telegram follows: "Notify your pack
ers apples and pears are being con-
demned in Boston by city and federal
authorities on account of large amount
Of visible spray testing arsenate of
lead. just attended conference here
with all concerned. Department of ag-
riculture rules only safe plan will be
for you to remove excessive visible
spray deposits. This applies to all
shipments thruout the country"
After conference with local grow
ers and shippers Mr.. Vickers sent the
following wire to Congressman Sum-
mers: "Apple growers of this district
are unanimous in requesting most
strenuous opposition by all North
western members of congress to any
adverse legislation affecting boxed APP
pie industry. Cost of removing spray
deposits from fruit at this stage of
packing season is prohibitive on ac-
count of shortage of labor and no fa-
cilities or process for such work ex-
cept by hand. This deal looks like
propaganda of eastern apple inter-
ests.n
In reply to this telegram Congress-
man Summers wired: "No legislation
is involved. U. S. Chief of Chemistry
rules that excessive amounts of ar
senate of lead must be removed by
washing or wiping. My letter fol-
lows"
Now the local growers and shippers
are wondering just what the u. S.
chief means by excessive" 1t is
claimed the Kennewick apples have no
more spray on them than in other
years-in fact recent rains have rem
dered them exceptionally free from
any visible spray deposits. When ask Z
ed If he was going to wipe his ap- {
pies, Mr.. Vickers replied that he had 9
been looking them over pretty thoroly 7
and couldn't find anything to wipe off. I
Altho they look upon the affair as
tempest in teapot and as eastern .
apple propaganda, local shippers are Q
playing safe by wiping the apples as Q
they are run over the sorting tables. n

THREE THOUSAND

JUICE DAILY

ing Season
PLANT STILL INCOMPLETE
Grapes are Rolling in from Upper
Valley and Tons. of Apples
are Being UnlOaded

With its new plant still uncompIet-
ed, with grapes fully ripe on the vines
and with a feeling of frost in the air.
the Church Mfg. Co., is bending every
energy to run about 400 tons of Con-
cord and Worden grapes thru the big
presses and clear the plant for the
operation of the big cider presses.
Grape juice is being put thru the
trst stages of manufacture at the
enlarged plant at the rate Of more
than 5000 gallons 3 day. Practically
all of the local grapes have been
pressed and carload shipments are
arriving daily from Sunnyside, Grand
view and Prosser. Several carloads
have already been received and about
70 more are to follow. Altho great
ly handicapped by the inability to get
building material and machinery, Mr..
Church still expects to be able to
turn out 100000 gallons of grape Juice
or more than double the output of anv
former year. A force of 80 men and
women are working with the juice and
another force of carpenters and ma
sons are busy on the uncompleted por-
tions of the new building.
While the grapes are being pressed
tons upon tons of Gull apples are being
unloaded and stored in the plant ready
for the manufacture of cider. The big
cider cellar where the mercury will
stick at 80 degrees winter and sum-
mer, is nearing completion. This cell
lar will have battery of seventeen
8, 5,000-gallon tanks this year and be-
fore next cider season rolls around
it will be operating at its full capac-
ty of twenty-six 5,000-gallon tanks.
These tanks are built of Louisiana cy-
press. They are shipped from the
south in the knock-down and put up
here. These tanks will be used ex-
.lusively for cider manufacture, the
yrape juice being aged in 5-gallon bot
les, 10000 of which are now on hand
or this years use.
Even in its rather chaotic condi-
ion, visitor can begin to understand
low thoroly equipped the new plant
Will be. There are thousands of feet
f aluminium pipe thru which will flow

raj stages of manufacture and other

i it goes into the presses, and other
lousands of feet of endless belts,

ottles from the time they go into the
lant empty and dirty until they come

Few clouds were observable on the
markets horizon yesterday, and those
which did float along with the news OF
the day had pink lining. AS result
considerable of the pail of gloom which
has been hanging over 1t for a week dis
appeared and stocks from the start were
buoyant. Taken in the order In which
they affected the market were considera-
lions behind yesterdays advances which
extended generally throughout the list
the more favorable reports from the
Presidents physician as to his condition,
settlement of the railroad strike In Great
Britain and subsequent improvement OF
foreign exchange. continued favorable
ncws from the steel district as to the
petering out of the strike, reports of a
probable 25 per cent increase in freight
and passenger rates and the conveninG
of the Supreme Court. The general opin.
ion prevails in Wall Street that the con-
ference of leaders In labor and capita
in Washington will not materialize intt

Dis1odging the Shorts.

A market operator who makes a close
study of the tape declared yesterday that
more shorts were yesterday morning run
In in the upturn at the start than in
the entire market last week. The rea-
son. of course, was that they were
caught Off their balance by an unex-
pected volume of over Sunday buying
orders and by sheaf of orders to re-
plenish further the pool positions. The
best example was to be seen in General
Motors. with an advance of IL points at
the outset. 1t closed the day with a
spectacular advance of almost rs points.
On a smaller scale the same thing was
true of Crucible Steel, In Kelly-Spring-
field Tire. in Texas Company and in
the speculative shipping stocks. The
activity of the first hour attracted much
outside buying to the market and the
wire houses were particularly busy as
the news seeped out through the country.

Rail stocks in Demand.

Although the demand does not bv any
means compare with that established by
industrial stocks. the rail stocks. as de-
monstrated yesterday are not entirely
without friends who believe that better
things are in store for them. Both St.
Paul issues and Texas and Pacific. both
classed as oil rans. were in particular
demand, st. Paul preferred crossing 70
at one time. Among the little rails, Dem
yer. Wheeling. Lake Erie and Frisco APP
peared to be the favorites. The rail
market from the outside appears rather
sloppy until ono tries to buy any consid-
cradle number of shares. The fact that
they have passed into exceptionally
strong hands and are closely held then
becomes very apparent 1t rs considered
by market authorities very doubtful II
tho rails will have any extended move
until they be returned to their owners,
but they will probably be picked up here
and there as depressions occur by long
headed investors who believe that the
turn OF the year and the return OF the
rails to their owners will bring much
higher prices.
