 Charging that the members of the U. S.

PIONEER OF
HIGHLANDS DIES
Geo. A. Albright Passes Away
Spent Ten Years in Gold
Fields of Alaska

After a lingering illness lasting
many months, Geo. A. Albright passed
away Saturday morning, July 2. He
had been suffering from tuberculosis
and complications of stomach all
ments.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, Rev. Messerli officiating, at the
Lutheran church. Interment was in
the local cemetery.
Geo. A. Albright was born at CO.
lumbus, Ohio, May 1, 1865. He was
united in marriage to Miss Kathrine
Back in New York in 1885, In 1900
Mr.. and Mrs. Albright went to Alas
ka where they lived for ten years, be-
ing there during several gold rushes.
They were among the first purchas-
ers of land on the Highlands, buying
a tract in 1910 and developing it and
building a residence in 1912. Mr.. Al
bright has always been identified with
every public movement, subscribing
to patriotic funds and donating to the
Highlands club house and park devel-
opment. He always proved himself
genial and helpful neighbor and
was popular with his associates.
During his last illness he was ever
cheerful and optimistic and often dis
cussed his religious faith and died a
professed Christian. He leaves his
widow, a nephew and a large circle of
friends to mourn his loss.

CHAUTAUQUA TAKES WE'LL
Interest and Attendance is Excellent
Thruout Week-Play Makes Hit

Chautauqua closed last Sunday eve
ming as it started with good interest
and splendid attendance. The pro-
grams the last half of the week were
we'll received as those of the first days:
The play, "It Pays to Advertise"
proved the big hit of the week. In
spite of the fact that many additional
seats were placed in the big tent the
crowd overflowed the seating capacity
and many stood throughout the per-
formance. The clever comedy was well
played and was by all odds the most
popular of the week.
The kiddies had their fun Saturday
forenoon when they took part in a
fancy dress parade on Second street.
There were many clever costumes and
it was with difficulty that the judges
selected the four prize winners as fol-
lows: Smith Brothers, as "Gold Dust
Twins" Joe Seigfried as an aviator;
Margaret Hoyt, as "Bo Peep:" and
Jean Gardner, as an oriental animal
trainer.
Miss Violet MacLean, the director,
experienced no difficulty in securing
the signatures of thirty guarantors
for next years chautauqua.

been overdrawn in the last two or
three years, it stands practically alone
among the counties of the state. The
records in the attorney generals of
flee are full of such overdrafts and no
body has ever been prosecuted or re-
called because Of them; in fact, at
every session of the legislature spec
lal acts are passed to validate war
rants that have been drawn in excess
of the legal reserve. Nor are the
commissioners alone charged with the
duty of keeping the several funds
above the reserve. They are compell-
ed to rely largely upon the county
auditor and the auditor in turn is
guided by the reports of the county
treasurer. Reports of the state bu-
reau of accountancy show that until
very recently conditions in the Benton
county treasurer's office were such
as to render it impossible to accur-
ately ascertain how much or how lit
tie there was in any of the county
funds. Is it any wonder that some of
the funds were overdrawn?
The charges as filed are Just plain
bunk fatty padded with political pro-
paganda ready-made for the Prosser
correspondent to "shoot" into the COL
umns of the daily papers.

NO CASE AGAINST PRATT
Prosser Editor Says There are Really
No Grounds for Recall

w. r. Sproull, editor of the Prosser
Record Bulletin, who spent the Fourth
of July holidays here, has returned to
his home in the lower valley. Sproull
says there is really no case against
County Commissioner Pratt of Kenne-
wick, against whom the recall is at
present being evoked in Benton coun-
ty, though there is no doubt that the
commissioners of the county, when
viewed under present conditions, were
extravagant. "The commissioners
were extravagant, of course" Sproull
says. "but so We're all of us. I know
a number of people who are now heavy
borrowers at the bank because they
were extravagant during the boom
period when the rush to spend was
common. The commissioners made the
same mistakes many other people did;
thew assumed the good times would
continue indefinitely. The officials
We're not extravagant as times were
then. but under the light of present
events thew appear to have gone too
rapidly. That was a mighty common
fault."-Yakima Republic.

BUSY YEAR FOR
CHURCH Mfg. co.
Local Company Increases Capt..
tai Stock and Will Enlarge
PaScO Plant

The Church Mfg. company, of this
city, is concluding preparations for
one of the most active years since its
organization.
BY recent vote of the stockholders
the capital stock from S250,0O0 to
$3.50, 900 and to proceed with the sale
of $4,000 worth of preferred stock
which is still held in the treasury.
The increase is to be effected by in
creasing the common stock from
$125,000 to S225,000. A contract has
been entered into with the Pacific
Finance Corporation of Portland for
the sale of the unsold preferred stock
and 100000 worth of the new COM
mon stock.
A large part of the money derived
from the sale of stock will! he used
to fully equip the large Pasco plant
which the company purchased from
the Olympic Brewing company. An
ice freezing tank with a 20-ton daily
capacity will be installed. The plant
will be insulated and further equipped
for the purpose Of engaging in the
commercial cold storage business. The
plant will have a capacity of between
130 and 140 carloads Of apples while
the capacity of the KennewIck plant
will be from 40 to 80 carloads.
The company will also increase its
vineyard acreage. Fifteen acres of
Concord and Worden grapes will hear
this year, 27 more will come into bear
ing this year. and 46 acres are now
ready for planting.
Prospects for a bumper grape crop
in all parts of the valley were never
better and the local company will be
in the market for the entire ton
mage. 1t is the hope of Mr..
Church to bring this years out
put of grape juice to 100000 gal
Ions. The marketing outlook is gcLd.
Although the price of grape Juice has
declined the demand is increasing
daily and indications are that the To-
cal company will have entirely cleaned
up its stocks before this seasons Juice
is ready for the market.
crop in the middle West and East last
year and as result the factories cast
of the Mississippi are loaded up with
juice manufactured at the peak of the
high prices. Increase in freight rates
has resulted in giving Church's juice
decided advantage over the eastern
product in the western territory. In
short the local company has the rep
utation of having weathered the per-
iod of price readjustment IN better
shape, with one exception, than any
other fruit by-products company in
the West.

come heavy stockholder IN the COM

LOCALS PLAY
LOSING GAMES
JinX Still with Them on Fourth
PrOsser Noses Out in
Sundays Game

The jinx which habitually follows
kennewick's base ball players, when
ever and wherever they play the Pas
CO team was still with them the 4th.
Two errors for Kennewick, two runs
for Pasco in the third inning, tells the
whole story. 1t was a two to nothing
victory for the visitors and a mighty
scrappy contest from start to finish.
The local boys were forced to face
Moraln, behind whom they have been
playing all season and who knows the
peculiar weaknesses of each individ-
ual batter. He fed each the kind he
didn't like and finished the game
with only two hits against him. Jeff
Kirkpatrick did the twirling for Ken
newick and although in poor condi-
tion he held the visitors to five hits
and no earned runs. The score fol-
lows:
Pasco .OO2 900 0OO-2 5 2
Kennewick 100 900 OOO-0 2 z
Seven errors at Prosser, Sunday,
were responsible for Kennewick's los
ing the first league game in the last
six played. Kennewick started the
scoring by putting two men around
in the fourth. In the sixth Prosser
tied the score. 1t was still tied in the
last half of the ninth when with two
out and two strikes on the player at
bat, Prosser put over the winning run.
The score:
Prosser 400 OO2 OO1-3 II 5
Kennewick 200 200. OOO-2 5
Batteries and Campbell;

The loss of SUNDAYS game puts
Kennewick in fourth place with Wap-

MARKET REPORTS
BY WIRELESS
State Department asks Farm
Organizations to Install
!. Stations

The Federal Bureau of Markets
has inaugurated daily wireless mar
ket report from Washington City and
from several of the larger primary
markets of the East and middle West.
That service is sent out at fixed hours
of the day and can be caught by any
wireless receiving station, even those
of amateur experimenters having
meager equipment.
The department of agriculture has
taken up with the federal bureau of
markets, with which it is cooperating
in market service, the proposals to
have this national market service sup
plemented, so far as this state is con-
cerned, by daily market report from
Seattle, and if possible from Spokane
and Tacoma as we'll, covering all pro-
ducts shipped by local producers of
this state into these local markets.
To make this service of the largest
value, this department has taken the
matter up with the various organiza-
tions of farmers and producers and CO.
operative associations generally, rec
ommending that they each put in the
equipment through which they can re-
ceive this service and then transmit it
by telephone to such of their men,
bers as ask for it.
The federal farm bureau estimates
that a receiving outfit which could
take the service direct from Wash
ington can be installed at a cost of
from $500 upwards. A receiving
equipment which could take the SER
vice from Seattle alone, when that
market reporting service is installed,
would be even less expensive.
The department of agriculture hopes
to have installed at the state fair at
Yakima, to be held September 19-
"a, a sample inexpensive wireless re-
ceiving equipment, with an operator,
receiving daily the regular market
reports on the blanks used for this
service by the bureau of markets.
This will show the simplicity, low cost
and ease of receiving this daily ser
vice. Any fairly qualified amateur
student of wireless can take these
messages, after little practice.
The service which it is expected to
install at the State Fair during its
session, will be practically school
for amateur wireless operators who
expect to qualify to take this market
service for the farmers organiza-
tionS.

JOE SHOCKS THE WORMS
Kennewick Lad Makes 'em Come Out
With Electricity.

When Joe Siegfried, 10-year-old SON
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Siegfried, wants
to go fishing he does not waste any
time in the dull preliminary of dig
ging for angleworms. Not he! He
presses button and the worms come
to him. -.
Young Siegfried has rugged up his
own angleworm "shocker," which has
the great merit Of working with 100
per cent efficiency. He puts a couple
of magnetos in the ground, attaches
the wires and-presses the button.
The angleworms in the territory af-
fected by the resulting shock are
keen to get away. They almost tear
themselves in two in their eagerness
to get out Of the dirt and away from
the electric shock. Then Joe, at his
leisure, picks 'em up and puts them
in his can. The apparatus works so
well that every so often he is able to
harvest fine lot of extra worms to
feed to the chickens.
