LOCALS HAVE BEEN
HITTING THE BALL
Kennewick- -Richland Stands next
to Head of Batting List
Play Here Next Sunday

Manager C. A. Doan, Of the Kenne-
wick -Richland baseball team, has
changed his mind. He had it written
down in his little book that one Of the
weaknesses Of the local club was in
ability to hit the ball. Quite natural
ly he was greatly surprised this week
when he received the official record
of the seasons play and found that
Kennewick- -Richland stands next to the
top of the list in batting. Pasco is
the only team with better batting
record. Likewise Pasco is the only
team with a worse fielding record.
81 am convinced that the reason we
are next to the cellar in the percent
ages is that the breaks have been
against US" said Manager Doan. "Our
batting hasn't been weak, it has just
been inopportune. We haven't been
able to bunch our hits or swat the ball
in the pinches. Some of these fine
days the breaks are going to start our
way and when they do, watch US"
Sunnyside, which early took the lead
and are now tied with Wapato for first
place is next to the tail-enders in bat
ting, but have the cleanest fielding re-
cord of any of the teams. The total
hits and errors for the season follows:

vention and they enjoyed every minute
of it. Mr.. Beavers was strong Nc.
Adoo booster but he is in no sense dis.
gruntled over the selection Of Cover.
nor Cox, whom he believes will prove
a very strong candidate. He says that
for the most part the western dele.
gates were for McAdoo while the East
was for Cox. He predicts that as the
campaign advances the league of ma
tions will loom up as the big issue be-
tween the two parties.

the whole it is a credit to the town

his business since he opened up shop
in the little corner shack a few years

RETAIL PRICE OF
GAS Is DISCUSSED
Members of Commercial Club do
Not Believe Raise was Justi-
fied-Pittenger Defends it.

The increase in the local retail
price Of gasoline came in for consid-
erable discussion at the Commercial
club luncheon Wednesday. The concen-
lsus of opinion seemed to be that the re-
cent advance of 8 cents per gallon
was poor business policy on the part
of local dealers. e. M. Sly, the only
dealer present, said that from the
standpoint of profit the increase was
probably justified but from the stand
point Of policy it was not. He said
another meeting Of local dealers was
to be held this week and he expressed
the opinion that the former price would
be restored.
In this connection II. L. Pittenger,
manager of the Liberty Motor COM
pany, has given the Courier-Reporter
the following interview:
"The gasoline situation is one which
is interesting a great many people at
the present time, directily the garage
men and Indirectly the general public.
On the oath of May a meeting of the
men handling gasoline in this town
was called and the shortage and scar
city of gasoline was first brought up.
A schedule was arranged for the de-
livery Of gasoline to the pumps in
town but before this schedule was In
real working order it was found that
the quota for Kennewick would be less
than was supposed on May oath. Since
that time deliveries to the pumps have
varied little but not so very much
and only for day or two at time.
It was not known at first when more
liberal supply of gasoline would be al
lotted to this territory and for that
matter it is still not known. The To-
cal men have continued the handling
of gasoline for the old profit when
gasoline was plentiful. The necessary
expense for the handling of gasoline
has increased since the shortage, ne

strengthens our belief that oil will be
struck in our we'll No. which is now
under way farther down the slope.
The new well also proves our geolo-
gist's theory that the structure. upon
which we are operating extends west
to within five miles of the Snively
ranch, while still farther to the west
is similar tho smaller structure
which leaves the Snively ranch in the
downfold between the two domes."
1t is not the intention of the Walla
Walla company to continue drilling in
well No. 8 to a depth beyond the bot
tom of the gas stratum. In nfact they
have already begun moving those
parts of the rig which will not be used
in finishing the well, to new location
where well No. will be started just
as soon as the present well is COM
pleted. The company is to unload q
rig in Benton City within few days
and orders have been placed for a

pany's big standard rig with which

Gently came from Burkburnett, Texas
with a full crew Of experienced drill
ers. So far they have broken all pre-
vious drilling records in this field and
have the big hole down more than $50
feet. This well is being drilled for
oil and will be put down at least 1000
feet unless production is secured at a
lesser depth. ..-
As a result of the new strike the
Walla Walla company's treasury stock
has jumped from $3.50 to $500, while
the demand for curb stock has becos>.

EARLY SPUDS ARE
ROLLING FAST
Marketing Union Expects to
Have Out Is Cars by End of
Week-Price is $130 Ton

Kennewick's early potato crop is on
its way. Manage F. II. Krug of the
Kennewick-Richland Marketing Union
reports that by the end of the week
fifteen full carloads will have been
shipped out in addition to a consid-
cradle tonnage in express shipments.
The first carloads were sold at $140
"a ton but the price has dropped to
$4,000.
For the most part the crop is of
good quality and some excellent yields
are reported. Some of the growers
have finished digging while others
have not yet started. One of the grow
ers to finish harvesting his early crop
is George Anderson Of the Valley, who
year after year has made good as a
spud grower. This year he harvested
nearly 80 tons from 3h acres or a
yield Of eight tons to the acre. His
gross returns were $1,000 an acre and
the job is all finished.
Mr.. Anderson's patch furnishes 9
striking example Of what commercial
fertilizer is, worth to the potato grow
er in dollars and cents. On part of
his land he used 1000 pounds Of fer
tilizer to the acre, 800 pounds on some
of it and none on the rest. By keep
ing exact figures on results he ascer-
tanned that on the land fertilized with
800 pounds produced at the rate Of
5125 pounds more spuds to the acre
than the unfertilized land. Figured
at 500 ton this increase was worth
$256.25. The cost of the fertilizer
was $26, leaving net increase of $3.50
per~acre. The fertilized potatoes were
planted three weeks later than the un-
fertilized and were harvested at the
same time. Had the fertilized pota-
toes been left in the ground three
weeks longer the difference in yield
would have been still greater. Mr..
Anderson knows that it pays to fer
tilize.

Big CROWD ATTENDS
THEATRE OPENING
Thousand People Attend First
Performance at Liberty-Miss
COrfman Dedicates It

Within half an hour after the doors
of the new Liberty Theatre were
thrown open last Saturday evening the
building housed the largest indoor au-
dience ever assembled in Kennewick.
By the time the lights were dimmed
and the first picture thrown on the
screen every seat in the new show
house was filled, the foyer was filled
with people standing and the lobby
was crowded by many who patiently
awaited the second show.
The first reel was followed by a
short dedicatory ceremony at which
Phil G. Warnock presided, introducing
in turn Mayor Geo. E. Tweedt, A. r.
Gardner, C. Navarro, of Seattle, rep
resentative of the Paramount-A Aircraft
film company, p. ]. Murphy, owner Of
the building and w. A. Baker, manag-
er and proprietor Of the theatre. The
first three speakers congratulated Mr..
Murphy and Mr.. Baker upon the fine
theatre building and its superb fur
nishings and appointments and be-
spoke for the new enterprise the hear
ty and loyal support Of the commun-
ity. They were complimented upon
their faith in the future Of the town
and upon the industry they had shown
in backing that faith with their cap
ital.
Mr.. Navarro said that he had been
present at the opening of many the
atres in the state but that he had seen
none the equal of the Liberty in a
town the size Of Kennewick. He as
sured his audience that Mr.. Baker
could be relied upon to give them pro-
grams that would in every way be in
keeping with the high class of the
building.
Mr.. Murphy said that the one aim
that had been carried out in the build
ing was the comfort and convenience
of the people, while Mr.. Baker assur-
ed his hearers that "service" would be
the motto of the new theatre both in
the selection of programs and handling
the crowds.
Following the speaking. program
the new house was formally dedicated
by Miss Alice Corfman, who, costum-
ed as the Goddess of Liberty read a
brief dedicatory message to the people
of the community. Miss Corfmap was
attended by Miss Violet Woods and
Miss Charlotte Lincoln, winners of Sc
cond and third honors in the Liberty's
popular voting contest.
Altho the evening was exceptionally
warm, the opening was a splendid sue
cess. The picture program was un-
usually long, yet the house was well
filled for the second show and fully
one thousand people attended the the
atre during the evening.
The Liberty is in every respect
modern city theatre reduced to small
town proportions. The building was
designed by and built under the direc-
tion of Architect F. A. Swingle and
