BERRY SEASON Is
RECORD SMASHER
Highest Priced Carlot of Fruit
Ever Unloaded in Seattle. was
Shipped from Here

"a carload of Kennewick strawber-
ries. consisting of 1000 crates and
valued at $4,000, f. o. b. shipping point
was received here at noon today. This
is without question the highest priced
car of berries or any other shipment
of fruit ever received on the Seattle
market"
The above from Tuesdays Daily
Produce News Of Seattle is just one
more bit Of evidence that the Kenne-
wick -Richland Strawberries are this
year smashing all former records.
With the season practically at an end
the price is still holding firm at $500
and the Union is daily turning down
orders for thousands of crates in ex-
cess of the local supply.
The above car was the third full
carload to be shipped to the Seattle
mharket this year. The second ar
rived in Seattle last Thursday and of
it the Produce News says: "Never in
the history of the street has finer
carlot delivery Of strawberries been
made than was received in the delay
ed shipment from Kennewick yester-
day aftrnoon. It took just one hour
to unload and deliver the ITO crates
of berries and in another hour not a
crate was seen on the Avenue. Price
today is $500 fob. Kennewick. Lo-
cal market 81 per crate.
To date the Kennewick- -Richland
Marketing Union has shipped in ex-
cess of $4,000 crates and the total
crop will probably reach the 1900
mark. Right thru the season the ber-
ries have been of exceptionally fine
quality and the Unions records for
the season show practically no allow
ances for inferior stuff.
What is believed to. be the finest
crate of berries ever packed out of
this district was delivered to the Un-
ion yesterday by Perry Willoughby.

RICH PUTS RED YOUNG
OUT in FIFTH ROUND
Kennewick Lad Demonstrates his SUI
periority Over Yakima Fighter
at Baseball Smoker

Ritchie Davis (Henry Rich) of this
city, put Red Young of Yakima down
and out in the fifth round of their six
round bout at the baseball smoker
here last Friday night. 1t was aSclean
fast fight from start to finish but the
Yakima man, who is one Of the VAL
ley's cleverest boxers, was no match
for the local youth. After the second
found it was clearly Ritchie's fight.
In that round he sent Young to the
mat with ripping upper cut to the
face and from that time on he had
the Yakima fighter in trouble. The
end came near the end of the fifth
when Ritchie sent wicked jab to his
opponents solar plexus.
This will be young Rich's last fight
for several months as he has decided
to give up boxing, at least until next
winter, and possibly for all time. His
decision comes as a keen disappoint-
ment to many of his Walla Walla ad-
mirers who had him listed as one of
the star performers at the big Amer
lean Legian smoker in that city June
16.
In the preliminaries Eugene Haw-
kins again secured two falls from Eric
Waldorf, the first fall, however, did
not come until both wrestlers had tir-
ed themselves out in dead lock. Ken
newick's boxing midgets gave fast
three-round exhibition. Clyde Mylke,
one of the original midgets, did not
show and his place in the ring against
Buster Devenney was taken by Jen-
nings butcher.

YAKIMA MEN
COME BY PLANE
Aviator Says Kennewick has One
Of Best Landing Fields in
State of Washington

80 [
r. /. Erlichman of the Yakima Avi-
alton company and Photographer Tar
tar flew to this city today in one of
the Yakima company's Curtiss planes.
Mr.. Erlichman is working up pro-
position to issue an aerial map of the
state of Washington showing the land
ing facilities in the various towns and
cities. These maps are to be distrib-
uted thru the aero clubs to $4,000
aviators.
It is the belief of Mr.. Erlichman
that as soon as this state can show
adequate landing facilities it stands
an excellent chance Of getting aerial
mail, commercial aviation and aerial
tourists. He said that Kennewick had
one of the best landing fields in the
state and for that reason it would un-
doubtedly be selected as one Of the
principal landing stations for cross
state flights. a.. :
Mr.. Erlichman was met at the local
field by President Trenbath Of the
Commercial club, Mayor Tweedt and
several other business men who as
sured him that Kennewick stood ready
to meet any reasonable demands that
might be made upon it in any cam
paign to encourage aerial transporta-
tion.
Mr.. Tartar took scores of pictures
of the towns and the farming COM
munities between here and Yakima.
