GAME FISHERMEN SAY
CODE Is NOT FAIR
Local Sportsmen are Called to Meet at
!Ccurier-Reporter Office Mon
day Evening

Local fishermen are considerably
wrought up over the so-called "Fish-
cries code" now pending in the legis-
lature. It is claimed that the meas
ure is so framed as to hit the sports
men and play into the hands of the
fisheries interests. Sportsmen in all
parts of the state are raising vigorous
protests against passage of the bill
in its present form and are insisting
that it be amended so as to take the
sportsmen who fish with hook, line and
rod from under the control of the code
and make his activities subject to the
restriction of the state game laws only.
That the sportsmen of Kennewick
may do their part toward preserving
the rights of the game fishermen, the
members of the Kennewick Rod & Reel
club and all local hunters are request
ed to meet at the Office of the Courier
Reporter at o'clock Monday evening
when protests will be formulated to be
sent to the county's representative and
joint-senator.

WALLA WALLA TEAMS
BREAK WINNING STREAK
Kennewick Loses to Walla Walla and
Waitsburg High Play Pres
colt Friday

Two Walla Walla county teams last
week broke rudely in upon the win
ming streak of the Kennewick high
school basketball team. Friday eve
ming they were sent to defeat by the
fast Walla Walla high team by a score
of 43 to 21, and the following eve
ming the Waitsburg team defeated
them by a score of 80 to "a.
The boys, however, are not discour-
aged by their defeats. They had hard
ly hoped to have won from the fast
Walla Walla team which has defeated

have an even break with the Waits
burg team, each team having won on
its own floor. Friday evening of this

CANAL WILL, BE READY
AZ OPENING OF SEASON
Superintendent of Warren Construc-
tion Company Says Work is
Ahead of Schedule

According to C. j. Carlson, super.
intendent for the Warren Constructor
company, the work of repairing the
gravity irrigation system is proceeding
ahead of schedule and all of the work
laid out for completion this spring
will be finished in advance of the op-
ening of the irrigation season. The
company now has more than $50 men
working in its several camps and the
only thing that can possibly delay the
work is the failure of material to ar
rive on scheduled time.
z Mr.. Carlson left yesterday for Port
land to confer with officials of the
company regarding other contracts.
He expects to return to Kennewick the
last of next week.

MARKET BERRIES
THROUGH ROBINSON
Well Known Firm Makes Con,
tract with Union for Terri
tory East of Kennewick

The Strawberries, asparagus ans
early potatoes of the Kennewick- Rich
land Marketing Union this year will
be sold in all markets east of Kenne.
wick by the c. II. Robinson company
of Spokane, deal to this effect having
been closed last week by the directors
of the Union and representative of
the company.
The selling company will not, as did
the Spokane Fruitgrowers company,
send their sales force here to take
charge of marketing operations. All
accounting, as well as assembling and
inspecting, will be done by the Union
itself. In fact it will handle its own
marketing operations, but will secure
distribution in all markets east thru
the Robinson company on a per pack
age brokerage basis.
The Robinson company and it's af-
filiated companies control 10S jobbing
houses in eastern Washington, Idaho,
Iuoutdid anu The DakOI2S. FOR years
they have handled the Hood River and
California berries for their territory
and have been the local Unions hard
est competitor. Directors of the I'm
ion believe that by lining up with this
company they will secure the best dis
tribution Kennewick berries have ever
had and at the same time materially
reduce the marketing costs.
: F. 81. Krug, manager of the Union,
who worked UP the Robinson deal, is
now working fer satisfactory trade
connections in the territory west and
hopes to have closed definite deal
within the next few days.

NO MONEY FOR
KENNEWICK'S
EXTENSION
Failure of Congress to Pass Ap-
preparation Bills Holds Up
Project
u. S. ENGINEERS ARE HERE
Reclamation Board is Collecting Add
tiOnal Data on the Yakima
High Line

The people of no community are
more keenly disappointed over the
failure of congress- to enact the pend
ing reclamation bills than are the peo-
pie of this community. The failure
means that there is no money available
for the Kennewick extension of the
Sunnyside canal and probably no work
can be expected until next fall, if at all
this year.
The best that can be hoped for now
is that an appropriation can be put,
thru the new congress when it is cali
ed in special session.. which will not be
before June at the earliest.
While congress was filibustering It
self out of existence the western board
of reclamation engineers were sitting
in Yakima for the purpose of gather
ing data and passing upon the feas-
ibility of the Yakima High Line, of
which the Kennewick extension is to
be a part.
The board inspected the lands under
the Kennewick extension Saturday and
Monday in Yakima granted .hearing
to E. o. Keene and M. M. Moulton as
Representatives of the Kennewick Ir-
rigation district. While the engineers
admitted that they were as much sup
in the air. as anybody, they expressed
hope that the new congress would
speedily enact legislation that would
provide for the reclamation of new
projects. They are hopeful that Sec
retary Lanes $1OO,0O0,OOO reclamation
bill will receive favorable consideraes
tion when the new congress convenes.
Out of this appropriation it will be
possible to obtain funds to put thru
projects such as the Kennewick extern
sion and the entire Yakima high line,
if it is determinedsto be feasible.
While the. engineers hold out no
hope as to when the extension might
be undertaken both Mr., Keene and
Mr.. Moulton expressed satisfaction at
the apparent interest which members
of the board showed in the proposed
extension. The feasibility of the ex-
tension from an engineering stand
point has long ago been favorably
passed upon and the purpose of the
present investigation is to determine
how large construction cost the pres
ent settlers cen stand and what atti-
tude the owners Of large acreages are
going to take toward plan requiring.
them to place upon the market at a
per acre price to be fixed by the, gov.
all their holdings in excess Of
an established farm unit. They have
tire officials of the irrigation
district to furnish them this informa-
ton.

F. F. Bestc has owned five automo-
biles in; the last month and he is
still on foot He started out the
month by selling his z passenger
Paige to C. E. Copeland. Then he
bought Dodge, which he sold to E.
o. Keene and took Keene's Ford as
part payment He sold the Ford,
bought another Dodge, sold it to L.
M. Keene, took in Kccne's Ford, which
he sold this week to B. j. Campbell.
Now Beste is in the market for still
another used car. But with all his
swapping Frank has not been too busy
to add few trimmings to his vul-
canizing business. He has just in
stalled a Weaver Universal Tire
changer and Weaver tire spreader.
These new machines, he says, will
enable him to do better and faster
work and allow him more time for his
favorite pastime-swapping cars.

both for the sole Of the building as it
stands and for the work of tearing it
down, will be called for.

fort to retain the position.

ALEX BIER BUYS
THE MOTOR Inn
Back in Building where he Start.
ed Ia Years ago Former
Owners Going to Texas

Alex Bier has purchased the Moto
! Inn garage Of Leckliter & Carlson an,
will continue the business in its pres
ent location and under its presen
name.
Mr.. Bier says Kennewick's mo
itoring public is entitled to garag.
service second to none and he intend.
to equip his garage with all the ap
sspliances that make for efficient sser-
vice. He spent the fall and winter IL
visiting and inspecting garages in the
larger cities of the Coast and intends
to give his customers the benefit OF
this experience.
1t is rather interesting to note that
this business change brings Mr.. Bier
back to the same building in which he
first became acquainted with the Ken
newick public IA years ago in the Ken
newick Hardware company's store. OF
his arrival in Kennewick Mr.. Bier
says: 81 landed here ID years ago,
bringing with me Kennewick's first
automobile. It was 12-horse- power
roadster, which l built in my black
smith and machine shop in Dewitt,
Nebraska. i was ahead of the times,
however, for with the timid cayuses
and the loose soil of the district the
little red devil was doomed to failure
and it's remains now repose in se-
cluded corner of a peach orchard in
Section Seven. Considering the auto
mobile business out of the question
here at that time turned my atten-
tion to more peaceful pursuits until
1915 when purchased the automobile
business of Lester Holloway, located
In the Beach block. Later moved
the business to the Smith block and
with Mr.. Smith as partner started
the Columbia Garage. Since selling
my interest in that business / have
been studying motors and motor re-
pairs. This is truly an automotor age
and things are happening much faster
than. the public realizes and it is just
as essential for the garage operator
to keep abreast. of the times as it is
for the manufacturer"
Mr.. Bier has sold the blacksmithing
and wagonmaking equipment to Mr..
Losse and will discontinue this part
Of the business. Mr.. Losse will open
up new shop as soon as suitable
location can be found. ~.
Mr.. Leckliter and Mr.. Carlson will
leave about April I for Burkburnett,
Texas, where they have the contract
for drilling oil wells for Montana par
ties. They will leave their families
here and return later to make their
homes in Kennewick.
