w. B. Spence has completed the
census enumeration in the three wards
of the city but will devote several days
to checking back to make sure that

If Billy Sundy of Gypsey Smith, had
slipped into Kennewick, as quietly and

Sunday, the electryifying announce

a stampede of the citizens in the

TELLS HOW TO
FEED PLANT LIFE
Major Newsom Gives Interest.
ing Lecture on Subject of
Soil Fertilization

That balanced food ration is just
as essential to plant as to. animal life,
and that all so-called fertilizers are
not balanced rations, were points en-
phasized by Major E. P. Newsom in
his illustrated lecture on fertilizers
in the Princess theatre last Saturday
afternoon.
Major Newsom said by long
series Of experiments it had been de-
monstrated that the safest and best
fertilizer is that composed of organic
matter. It is safest because it leaves
no injurious after effects and best be-
cause it is more lasting. He said
while chemical fertilizers will pro-
duce wonderful results their continu-
ed use will prove injurious to the soil.
Illustrating this point he read ex-
tracts from letter telling Of the re-
suits of using nitrate of soda on the
Valencia orange groves in California.
These groves have been heavily fer
tilted year after year with nitrate
Of soda, Today they are producing
but ~ per cent Of normal crop be-
cause of the strong residue Of caustic
soda that has accumulated in the soil.
It is impossible, the speaker said,
to determine just what fertilizer
should be used, by analysis Of the SOIL
for the reason that such IAN analysis
may show a certain chemical present
in sufficient quantities to produce good
results but there is no way of telling
whether or not this particular element
exists in the soils in available form
for plant food. An analysis may
show, for instance, that certain
soil is rich in potash but it may be
that this potash is locked up so that
it cannot be acted upon by the bacteria
of the soil and delivered to the root
feeders of the plant. The only safe
plan, he says, is to analyze that plant
itself and then put into the soil the
chemical elements necessary to the
production of that plant. It is upon
this basis, he said, that the organic
fertilizers are manufactured.
Maj. Newson, who has spent years
ir the study of soil chemistry, is rep
resenting the. Marine Products COM
pany of Tacoma, who are the largest
manufacturers of organic fertilizers
on the coast. He came here at the
request of the Kennewick- -Richland
Marketing Union who will supply its
members with fertilizers on basis
of cost plus handling charges.

LONG CHASE
Will Gray Captured out in
Desert Between Richland
and HanfOrd.
WOULD KILL HIS. FRIEND
u,r Who Has Been Making Home on
Island in Columbia River Be
! comes Insane.

Carl Hanson and Charlie Copeland
we're two jaded deputy sheriffs, last
evening when they arrived in Ken
newick with Will Gray, an insane
man, who had given them long chase
thru the sagebrush between Richland
and Hanford.
Cray for several months has been
making his home with Mr.. Willard
Who owns and farms an island in the
Columbia about 8 miles above Rich
land. The two men had been friends
for 26 years, having been pals in
Alaska in the gold rush days. Sever
Al wears ago Gray sustained an injury
to his spine and since that time has
been subject to attacks of epilepsy,
but it was not until recently that he
began to show evidence of being
mentally unbalanced.
For some time he has been getting
up at night and prowling around the
Willard premises. Several times Will
lard has been awakened to find his
old friend standing over his bed
staring blankly at him. Tuesday about
midnight he was awakened by a COM
motion in the barn. He arose, dressed
and went to the barn where he found
Gray only pArtly dressed and armed
with loaded shotgun which he at
tempted to use. Before the dement,
Cd man could fire Willard pushed him
into corner and sought safety be-
hind an embankment near the barn.
Gray then went into the house and
willard hurried to the cabin Of a
trapper who came to the nearest
ranch house and telephoned the
shsriff's Office. RT + ~s
When deputies Hanson and Cope
land accompanied by Willard and the
trapper arrived at the Willard cabin
II was deserted. They took up Gray's
trail which they followed across the
island. From the tracks it was evi-
dent that the man had been running
most Of the time. At places they
found where he had tumbled over en-
bankments Is or 20 feet high. The
searchers followed the trail to where
Gray had forded a narrow branch Of
the river to the main land. Deputy
Hanson and the trapper secured
saddle horses and followed the trail
nine miles out into the desert before
they caught up with the fleeing
maniac. He was coatless, hatless and
vet nearly to his waist but showed
httle signs of exhaustion. He told
MS pursuers that he had killed a man.
After getting Gray onto one of the
norses Hanson left him in charge of
she trapper and set out for the auto
mobile. Upon his return he found the
uapper mounted and herding Gray
vno had left the saddle and again
started to marathon across the desert.
Although his hands were lashed to
a sides Gray struggled desperately
Tree himself and ut times it was

meg neither his old friend Willard
