Dublin. -Easter demonstrations in

eminent, which the adherents of the
republican cause considered would be
suicidal, but there was a series of out

The malcontents took new angle

CUT COST OF PROPOSED
DRAINAGE SYSTEM in HALF
Main Drain West is Eliminated and
Cost of Sub Drain No. Two
Reduced $1,000.

By the adoption Of modified plans
the county commissioners at the regu-
lar meeting Tuesday, just about cut
in half the cost of the proposed i'm
provement in the Haxton draining
district east of the city.
The biggest item of expense was
Topped off by elimination of the main
drain west which would have started
near the S. p. & S. depot and run to
the Columbia river.
The amended plans include cleaning
out and putting the old Haxton ditch
to grade, and building lateral known
as sub drain No. 2, from near the
Emil Albrecht place. Plans for this
drain were altered so as to reduce the
cost about $1,000.
An election will be held March 19
for the purpose of chosing two super
visors. Voting will be at the home OF
George Anderson from one to seven
p. m.

TO START THE
HAYDON & LLOYD
BUILDING SOON
Contract Let to A. v. McRey-
nOlds who has Two Other
Buildings Under Way
FINISH THIS ONE JUNE FIRST
Half of New Building is Leased to
Columbia Clothing Co.-Ken-
newick Club in Other Half

A. v. McReynolds is the successful
bidder for the construction of Hayden
e. Loyd's new building on Second
street. Bids were opened and the con-
tract awarded to Mr.. McReynolds on
Monday. s.... ~. .. .a
The building is to be one-story
structure so by 100 feet. The side
and rear walls will be Of concrete
blocks and the front Of pressed brick
and plate glass. The building will be
divided into two 25-foot rooms, one OF
which will be occupied by the Kenne-
wick club, of which Messrs Hayden
and Lloyd are proprietors, and the re-
|mainder has been leased to the Colum-
bia Clothing Company.
Mr.. McReynolds said today that
work on the new building would start
just as soon as the material could be
gotten on the ground and if every
thing goes well it will be ready for
occupancy June 1. Mr.. McReynolds
already has two other buildings un-
der way on Second street. The foun-
dation of the new Liberty Theatre has
been completed and the laying Of tile
started Wednesday. The masonry
work on the office building of the Wal
la Walla Gas, Oil & Pipe Line COM
pany has been finished and carpenters
are at work on the roof.
The letting of the Hayden & Lloyd
contract brings the city's business
building total since the first of the
year, including new buildings and en-
largemcnts, to about $4,000. So far
as is known no other business build
ings are in immediate prospect, but
by the first Of April saws and ham,
mers will again be busy down on Ap-
pie Row. By that time work win
probably have been started on the
Yakima Columbia company's and the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers asso-
citation cold storage plants.

Commercial Club Appoints Com.
mittee to Formulate Plans
for Suitable Grounds

1t has been a hard old winter, but
spring is here at last. The ground
hog may get his shadows crossed, the
robin get here too soon, and even the
pussywillows go wrong, but when Joe
Martin starts talking baseball, spring
has most assuredly punched the clock.
Joe has been developing baseball
symptoms for several days and yes
terday he appeared before the Com
mercial club at the weekly luncheon
and got himself appointed on a COM
mittee with George Tweedt and B. E.
Reser to investigate the question of
a ball park, finances, etc.
Mr.. Martin attended meeting of
the managers of the Yakima Valley
teams last Thursday in Sunnyside and
will attend a similar meeting this eve
ming. This year it is planned to have
the Yakima Valley league divided in
to two sections of four teams each.
The upper league will comprise Yak
ina, Wapato, Sunnyside and Grand
view and the lower league will include
Prosser, Richland, 'Kennewick and
Pasco. The two divisions will be gov
erned by the same rules and will adopt
the same schedules. At the close of
the season the two winners will meet
in a post-season series for the cham
pionship of the entire Yakima Valley.
The adoption Of this plan will elm
mate all long trips and thereby mater
tally reduce expenses, while the cham
pionship series will tend to sustain
interest which oftentimes is killed BY
one teams early taking the lead and
maintaining it thru the season.

BUYERS SUGGEST
BERRY. CHANGES
Jobbers Say Consumer is Unwill-
ing to Pay as Much for Small
Berries as for Large

Manager F. HI. Krug of the Kenne-
wick -Richland Marketing Union has a
hobby. It is that to get the money for
the fruit the grower must put it up
according to the specification Of the
fellow who buys it. Mr.. Krug has
recently returned from a trip to the
coast where he called upon brokers,
jobbers,. and wholesalers who last
year handled the products shipped by
the Union. He came back with
pocket full of suggestions for changes
in preparing this years crop for the
market.
"The jobbers Of the coast are unan-
imous in urging change in our grade
and pack rules. for Strawberries" said
Mr.. Krug. "They suggest that we
put out two grades, four. by four and
a. five by five pack, with a spread of
price between the two grades. They
insist that the capper sells the ber-
ries and that the five by five or five
by six pack is an absolute drug on the
market as long as there are any four
by fours to be had. They argue that
the consumer is unwilling to pay as
much for five by five berry as for
four by four and there is no good
reason why the grower should refuse
to make a differential in price. The
jobbers are willing that the Union
shall continue to set f. o. b. prices on
the berries but they are unwilling to
pay as much for crate of small ber-
ries as for large regardless of the
fact that there may be no difference
in the quality of the two. If this is
what the trade wants, am in favor of
giving it to them and ]. shall recon-
mend that this plan be adopted by our
growers.

ior berries should be graded and crat-

:. o. Keene Urges That Special
Session of Legislature Grant
Some Relief
WANTS TAX LIMIT RAISED
plight of Districts of Second Class is
Told by Clerk of Kennewick
District

"Consider the elementary schools y
is the plea which E. o. Keene, clerk
Of the Kennewick school district, has
sent to Governor Hart. No sooner
did Mr.. Keene learn that a special
session of the legislature had been
called for the purpose of making en-
ergency appropriations to keep open
the doors Of the state university, the
state college and the state normal
schools until the beginning of the next
biennium, that he dispatched a. letter
to the governor asking that some re-
lief be granted district schools.
In his letter Mr.. Keene sets forth
that while first class districts in the
larger cities and the small rural dis
tricts where only one teacher is en-
ployed may have ample finances, hum
dreds of second class districts, like
Kennewick are facing a very serious
shortage Of funds. The governors
attention is called to the fact that
finances raised by ten mill levy, the
largest levy permitted by the state
laws, are wholly inadequate to meet
the necessary running expenses of the
schools, and in many districts it has
been necessary to call special cleo
tions to vote additional levies to keep
the dooss Of the schools open. Mr.
Keene suggests the maximum direct
levy be raised to Is or even 20 mills.
Unless some such action is taken
at the special session, Mr.. ,Keene,
points out that special elections will
be necessary again next fall. The
legislature will not convene in regular
session until 1921 and the budget for
next years school expenses must be
made up next fall.
The special session will convene in
Olympia March % at the call of Gov
enr Hart for the purpose Of ratify-
ing or rejecting the national Woman's
Suffrage amendment and to vote ad-
ditional funds for the states higher
institutions of learning. 1t is probable
however, that another measure will
be introduced among which will be
the so-called soldiers bonus bill.

set last week when T. A. Warnock
sold j. O. Cleve's 5-acre orchard home
to j. w. Tyson, for $1,000 or $1260

The Cleve place is one of the finest
small orchard tracts on the Highlands
and made fancy production record
in 1919. Mr.. Tyson, the new owner,
came here about a year ago from
Occur d'Alene, Idaho. He will take
immediate possession of the place and
Mr.. and Mrs. .Cleve will occupy the
Gascogne bungalow until they have
made definite plans for the future.
This afternoon Mr.. Warnock closed
a deal for the sale1of the j. B. Buntin
1O-acre orchard on the Highlands to
j. c. Swayze of the valley. The con-
sideration was $1,000 cash. The Bun
tin tract is in bearing orchard but has
no dwelling house on it. Mr.. Swayze
will continue to live in his attrac-
tive home in the valley.
Mr.. Warnock also reports the sale
OF the Grin Smith 5-acre home on the
Highlands to Frank Johnson, of Lind,
who will arrive within the next few
days to take possession of his new
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith moved
some time ago from their place. to

his home on Kennewick Avenue to F.

Highlands. No sooner had the trade
been made than Mr.. Moulton sold the
place to E. M. Smith, of the River
Road. Mr.. Smith will take posses
sion just as soon as Mr.. Krug can
find another house into which to move,
as Mr.. Moulton does not give possess
sion for year. He expects this sum-
mer to build a new home on his lots
on Kennewick Avenue.
