TO GET READY
FOR THE FIFTH
LOAN DRIVE
Plans for Conducting Victory
Campaign to be Outlined at
Luncheon Monday
TROPHY TRAIN is COMING
Quota Has Not Been Announced, but
Payments are to be Spread
Over Six Months

Plans for conducting the Victory
Loan campaign in the Kennewick dis
trict viii be perfected at luncheon
at Hotel Kennewick Monday noon. E.
w. Trenbath has been named chair
man Of the local drive and he has made
the following committee appointments:
Organization, M. w. Mattecheck, n.
r. Vibber, E. M. Sly, j. w. vickers;
soliciting, A. F. Brown, Horton Hunt
ington and r. f. Hanke; publicity,
A r. Gardner, and A. j. Copeland;
speakers, M. M. Moulton, chairman.
The campaign will open Monday,
April 81 and will continue until May
10. Mr.. Trenbath has not as yet been
advised as to the amount of Kenne-
wicks quota but it will probably be
about the Same as for the fourth Lib
erty loan. Altho the plan of campaign
has not been definitely mapped out,
it is probable that the individual all
lotment system which proved so sue
cessful in the last drive will be adopt
cd.
There will be series of Victory
rallies held at the several community
ccnters in the district and the eve
ming of April 25 the special Victory
War Exhibit train viii be here. This
train as did the trophy train of the
last Liberty loan, carries American,
French and German munitions but the
number Of pieces carried is much in
excess Of the equipment Of the other
train. The Victory train is in charge
of returned American officers who saw
actual service at thesfront with Uncle
Sans fighting forces.
Altho the amount Of the loan has not
yet been made public Carter Glass,
secretary of the treasury, has an
nounced the following plan of pay
ment:
Ten percent with application on or
before May 10; ten per cent on or be-
fore July Is; twenty per cent on OF
before August IL; twenty per cent on
or before September 8; twenty per
cent on or before October z; and twen-
ty per cent on or before November
IL, with accrued interest on deferred
payments.
Payments in full can be made on
May 20, the ten per cent required with
hsving been duly paid on
or before May 10. Payment can also
be completed on any installment date,
with accrued interest.

SNAKE BRIDGE
NOW ASSURED
Walla Walla and Franklin C0un.
ty Voters Authorize Bonds
at Special Election

Z A highway bridge across Snake riv-
er is now assured. At special cleo
tion Tuesday the voters Of Franklin
and Walla Walla counties authorized
the commissioners Of the two counties
to issue joint bonds in sum not to
exceed $230,OO0 for the purpose of
building the bridge near Burbank.
The bonding issue carried by big
majoriti-s in both counties. In Frank
lin the ratio was about 27 to / and in
Walla Walla, to 1. At former
election the bonding issue was defeat
ed in Walla Walla county.
This bridge will be an important
connecting link in the Inland Empire
Highway and when built will undoubt-
edly pull much of the traffic via Pasco
which now goes by way of the Hover
Alfalfa ferry. 1t is thought that the
bridge will also hasten the building
of bridge across the Columbia be-
tween Kennewick and Pasco.

AUTOMOBILE DEALS ALL
SAME AS CRAZY QUILT
"Fuzz" Reser Says he has Frank Beste
e Beat-Beste Loses Track of
His Deals

4 It's long, long trail that winds
thru the automobile transactions Of
the week. B. E. Reser, of the Ken
newick- Garage, claims that he has r.
F. Beste beaten this week for real
finesse in putting thru deals. He be-
gan the week by selling new 1919
Buick Skies to Thad Grosscup and
Gouey Williams. Then he sold the
Grosscup's old Buick Six to Geo. w.
Sherk and Sherk's old Buick Six to
w. L. Blakeley, and Williams old
Buick Six to F. L. Bash and Bash's
old Buick Four to Mr.. Foster. Dur
ing a brief breathing spell he sold
Maxwell to Mr.. and Mrs. McNaul.
Beste says he made so many deals
that he lost track Of the names Of the
purchasers and makes of cars carly
in the week. The few. deals he remem-
bers is the sale of Dodge to William
bennington of Prosser, Ford to o. B.
Rollins of Richland, a Dodge to 81.
Adkins, Of Richland and Buick to ].
d. Moore of Walla Walla.. Now he is
afoot except for his Hudson Super
Six.

TWO BIG RANCH DEALS
Harley Peter Sells River Road Farm
Buys E. III. Harsha Tract

Harley Peter Sells River Road Farm
Buys E. III. Harsha Tract
One of the largest ranch deals ever
made in the Valley was closed last
week when Harley H. Peter purchased
the 60-acre alfalfa and stock farm of
E. H. Harsha, just east of the city
limits. Mr.. Peters purchase came
close upon the heels of the sale, of his
40-acre alfalfa farm on the River Road
to Pardena Brothers, of Black Dia-
mand, Wash, who have already taken
possession of their new place. Mr..
Peter takes possession of the Harsha
place April Is.
Mr.. Harsha came to Kennewick
eight years ago from Chicago and
altho he had no previous farm train
ing or experience, he has been emil
nently successful. He has stuck pref
ty close to hog raising and notwith-
standing the ups and downs Of. that
industry in recent years, he has made
it pay year after year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harsha and family will
leave for their former home in Chi
cago Sunday.

the Yakima and Columbia valleys
There are now about 400 acres .o1
these varieties grown within shipping
distance of the local plant. Plans OF
the local company include the culti-
vation of 100 acres Of company vine
yard. IF there are no new private
paintings, that will yield half mil
lion gallons of grape juice annually,
But as the capacity of the plant is en-
larged the vineyard acreage is certain
to grow larger, for vitaculture offers
exceptional advantages to the grower.
In the Chautauqua grape belt the av-
erage yield is 21s tons per acre, in the
Ohio and Michigan belts the average
lis three tons, while in the Yakima and
Columbia valleys the average yield, at
a low estimate, is six tons per acre,
and in some instances this yield has
been doubled. Last year l., H. Kuhn,
of zillah, harvested and sold IL tons
of Concords from one acre.
The contract price is $40 a ton, vine
yard run, with containers furnished
by the company. At the low estimate
sof six tons per acre the annual gross
returns from an acre would be $240.
Growers estimate that it costs SIS a
ton to produce the grapes, which leaves
an annual net return of S210 an acre.
In the Grandview district grape grow
ers who have been selling their grapes
to the Kennewick plant year after year
are this year digging out bearing
peaches, pears and even apples
for the purpose of increasing their
grape acreage for the reason that they
can get, one year with another, larger
returns from their vineyards, with less
work, than they can from their or
chards.s With climate ideally adapt
ed to viticulture, a market that in
sures profitable returns, there is no
question but that the grape acreage
will increase just as rapidly as the
market increases and the local COM
pany will always have an unfailing
supply of raw materials. With the
thousands of acres of bearing orchards
in the district there is no question as
to the supply of raw materials for the
manufacture of apple juice products.
The question of labor lis not a Sc
rious one, as NO large force of skilled
labor is required in q plant Of this
kind. Compared to the volume of busi-
ness the number Of laborers required
is perhaps smaller than in almost any
other manufacturing business. Most
of the work is done by machinery. Al
plant that will receive the raw mater
ial at one end and turn out the fin.
ished product at the other, with no.

KENNEWICK GRASS
In Big DEMAND
Cool Weather Holds Back Cut.
ting and Standing Orders
Can't Be Filled

The cool weather is holding back the
asparagus and Manager F. H. Krug,
of the Marketing Union, reports that
the demand is far in excess of the sup
ply with the price firm at S1.S0 crate
f. o. b. Kennewick. At no time since
the season opened has the Union had
grass enough to fill more than one
fourth of its daily orders.
The new crate is steadily growing in
favor with jobbers as is shown by the
following from the columns of the Sc
attic Produce News:
considerable comment has been
heard slong the street, both among the
dealers and the retailers, over the
great Improvement seen in the pack
of Kennewick asparagus this year.
Last season the Kennewick grow
ers used the shoe box" pack, and
traders toIrd it a little hard TO sell
this str OK. This year the Kennewick
grass is coming in 12-pound flats with
!. partition across the center, which
prevents any shifting and saves bro
ken stalks. 1t also makes nice dis
play box for the retailer just as it is.
3This work is commended by all of
the dealers and retailers consider the
putting in of the partition an impor-
tant step for the better.
'The only asparagus received today
came from Kennewick, and it was be-
ing offered at 25 cents per pound in
good lots. California grass was be-
ing held at 20 and 25 cents"

JOSEPH HESS is
CALLED BY DEATH
Pioneer Highland Fruitgrower
Passes Away Following Long
Illness of Tuberculosis

Joseph Hess, one of the pioneer or
chardists of the Highlands, died at his
home early Tuesday morning. Funeral
services were conducted at the home
this afternoon at 2 o'clock by mem
bers of the local TO. @. F. lodge1dnd
interment was in the local cemetery.
Mr.. Hess, whose death was due to
tuberculosis, had been in poor health
for more than year.. He wintered
in Arizona winter before last in the
hope that he reain his strength and
overcome the disease, but for several
months his condition has been grow
ing. steadily worse, and for several
weeks before his death he was confin-
ed to his bed.
Mr.. Hess made. his home here for
ten years and was among the most
successful fruitgrowers in the dis
trict. Even after his health became
broken he continued to keep his place
in excellent condition. In 1912 he was
awarded a prize offered by the N. p.
/. company for the best kept orchard
and most attractive home on the High
lands.
The following obituary was read as
part of the impressive funeral cere-
monies of the Odd Fellows:
Brother Joseph Hess was born at
North Dakota, November Is,
1881, and departed from this life at
2 o'clock Tuesday, April 8, 1919. On
June 80, 1907 he was married in Far
go, to Miss Teal Maloney, who died
February 20, 1915. To this union one
son was born, Lambert, now seven
years of age. November 16, 1915,
he was married to Miss Lydia McKen-
zie, of Spokane, who during his months
of illness was his faithful companion
and constant attendant, doing every
thing within human power to ally his
suffering.
Besides his widow and young son
Brother Hess leaves three sisters, Mrs.
Dietzman, of this city, Mrs. Laist and
Mrs. Shebler, of Bismarck, North Da-
kota, and one brother, Christofer Hess,
of Erie, Pennsylvania.
"In the autumn of 1909 Brother Hess
came to Kennewick and in passing he
leaves this home as testimonial of
his industry as farmer and his worth
as constructive citizen. His life has
been characterized by hard toll, rug
ged hdnesty, and that indomikable
spirit of the western pioneer, who has
delivered into the hands of modern
civilization the wilderness and the
desert and has asked nothing in return
but the satisfaction which comes with
the knowledge of good work well
done. At all times Brother Hess has
kept his life we'll ordered and has
merited the esteem, respect and love
of those around HIM. AS member of
this order he lived up to its enduring
principles ard Incorporated into his
daily. life It's teachings
