IRRIGATION PLANS
ADVANCED A STEP
Ordinance for New Improvement
District in First Ward Given
Second Reading

At the adjourned meeting Tuesday
evening the city council advanced
through its second reading an ordi-
nance creating local Improvement dis
trict No. 20. This district is for the
purpose of constructing a new irriga-
tion distributing system in the first
ward where irrigation is most unsat-
isfactory under the present system.
Plans for the new system have been
prepared by Fred G. Pyle, manager of
the Columbia Irrigation company, and
are designed to give satisfactory SER
vice to all property in the district.
The ordinance will be placed on fin
al passage next Tuesday evening and
unless stubborn opposition develops
the new system will be installed and
ready for the opening of the irrigation
season.

MUST PUT MORE
PEP in CAMPAIGN
Unless More Speed is Shown in
Community Hospital Move
ment it Will Fail

It was made plain at the CONNER
cial club luncheon Wednesday that un-
less more pep is put into the campaign
the effort for community hospital
will fail. Report of R. @. Macmahon,
temporary president of the Kenne-
wick hospital association, showed
that the soliciting committees were
still far from the goal necessary to
finance the undertaking. 1t is esti-
mated that $25OO will be required to
finance the hospital movement and to
date only few hundred dollars have
been received.
The plan is for the association to
purchase the present equipment Of the
two local hospitals, combine them in
one which is to be operated by the
association. The membership fee in
the association has been placed at 81
year and it is hoped to extend the
membership over the territory tribu-
tary to Kennewick. 1t is evident, how
ever, that if the plan is to succeed,
contributions in excess of the MEM
bership fee must be made by num-
ber of individuals and firms.
Drs. Tullar and Crosby were pres
ent at the luncheon and urged quick
action. They pointed out that the
community is in need of hospital
ond that tho sicl, cannOt hp nronerlv
cared for until one is equipped. They
both emphasized the fact that the hos
pital is not for the benefit of the med
ical profession but for the benefit of
the community. =
Following the discussion, President
Trenbath announced that as soon as
the bridge campaign closes, which will
be February 20, he would request the
club to give it's entire attention to the
hospital campaign.

BRUE HEADS NEW
FARMERS INSTITUTE
Kennewick Farmer Chosen at
PascO Meeting Which is Pro-
nOunced Great Success

To Ole Brue, of this city, comes
the honor of heading, as its first pres
ident, the newly organized Tri-County
Farmers Institute, which it is hoped
will be come permanent Institution.
The organization of the i-Courty
institute was one of the Tangible re-
suits of the farmers meeting held in
Pasco, Monday and Tuesday of this
week. The Pasco sessions were large
ly attended and the good results to be
obtained from such meetings were so
apparent that the proposal to make
the institute permanent met the un-
animous approval of the farmers pres
ent. All realize that much good can
be accomplished through friendly con-
ditions in this section. The territory
embraced by the new organization is
Franklin, Berton and the west half
of ,Nalla Walla county. The affairs
of the institute will be directed by a
board of five directors, one each fir ,pl
Franklin and Walla Walla and three
from Benton.
Many farmers from this side of the
river attended the Pasco meeting and
all are agreed that the institute was
great success in every particular. The
subjects presented were timely, the
speakers were men of wide experience,
and the discussions were interesting
and beneficial.
Other officers were elected as fol-
lows: Geo. Anderson, Kennewick,
treasurer; v. L. Georgeson, county
agent Benton county, secretary; di-
rectors, R. Mauvais, Walla Walla; c.
C. Argent, Franklin; Geo. Anderson,
E. R. Wells and T. ]. Chalcraft, Ben
ton.
The institute next year will be held
in Kennewick.

Local Farmers Who Fell for Suit
Peddling Game are not Exact
ly Pleased with Deal

A score or more of local farmers
are almost convinced that after all il
does pay to patronize the home mer-
chants. They have learned too that
clothes made to fit do not always fit
and that the performance of kick
ing over unsatisfactory goods is
robbed of all its joy if the kicking has
to be done at long range.
AS the story comes to the Courier
Reporter, some time ago representa-
tive of Chicago firm made the
rounds of the countryside and sold by
the yard cloth suitable for mems
clothing. He collected $500 and left
the cloth. About two weeks later
a co-worker followed him and took
measurements for the suits. He then
sold the purchaser Innings and trim
mings and collected $12, and took the
cloth to send it in to Chicago to have
it made up. He also took the pur-
chaser's note for the balance amount
ing to between $25 and $50.
Last week the first of the suits be-
gan to arrive. They were preceded by
a letter giving notice of shipment say
ing that the suit was being sent c. o.
ID. for the balance due and that the
note was enclosed in the package. But
evidently the fellow who packed the
suits overlooked the notes for as yet
none of the purchasers have been able
to find his note in the package and

is to be Closed Caused Brisk

tically Off Market-Attalia
News Encouraging

The announcement the first of the
week that officers of the Walla Wal
IA Oil, Gas & Pipe Line company had
rome to Seattle to sign contract for
mining the gas from the company's
wells to this and other cities in this
district, precipitated lively trading in
the stocks of that company.
Following this announcement came
the report from the Rattlesnake field
that a very definite showing of oil
had been encountered in the Walla
Walla company's well No. 8. This well
was brought in for gas last summer
since which time drilling has contin-
ued. Owing to the difficult formation
several delays have been encountered
and several fishing jobs have been
necessary. The well now, however, is
in perfect shape and the drill is now
pounding away day and night.
It is understood that the oil show
ings reported were encountered at
depth Of between 1900 feet and 1,4O0
feet. Predictions are freely made that
the well will be brought in as a big
producer at depth not to exceed L.
700 feet.
While it has been known for some
time that negotiations were under way
for piping gas no details regarding the
contract are available at this time.
General Manager H. D. James, who
has been in Seattle since the first of
the week will not return until this
evening
AS result of the weeks activities
stock of the Walla Walla company
has virtually disappeared from the
market. A. w. Craigue, local broker,
reported yesterday that bids for the
stock at one dollar a share were un-
filled on the Walla Walla exchange.

ORCHARDISTS ARE
URGED TO SPRAY
Horticultural Inspector says all
San Jose Scale has not been
Winter Killed 81
(F. p, Bailev.)

Many fruit growers are under the
impression that the San Jose scale
was exterminated by the extreme cold
of December, 1919. While it is true
that the scale in the lower Yakima
valley and adjoining parts of the Col
umbia valley was so reduced in num-
bers as to cause no serious loss to
the 1920 crop, the fact remains, new
ertheless, that the scale is with us
still.
. Hidden away in well protected crew
ices in the bark and below the snow
line on young trees and sprouts a few
of the insects weathered the cold.
These were actively reproducing dur
ing the past summer. One young tree
discovered just recently harbored two
old scale bodies from 1919, which had
encircled about them colony of over
fifty live young scale.
s It is true that practically no scale
was found on the fruit this year, but
it is still present in the orchards and
wants only little time and a negli-
gent orchardist in order that it may
reestablish itself.
The state department Of agriculture
therefore, recommends that all or
chardists apply the dormant spray.
The battle against scale is now in the
orchardist's favor and it is his duty
to retain this advantage. Apply the
dormant spray and prevent this in
sect pest infesting the orchards again.
