GROSSCUP RANCH HAS
$2O,OOO.OO FIRE LOSS
Local Insurance Firm Pays Loss in
q. Record Breaking
Time a

Richland was visited with a $4,000
fire Saturday evening when the garage
and tool house on the Grosscup farm
a few miles above town were reduced
to ashes. The fire was record
breaker for Richland and the payment
Of the insurance was a record-breaker
for the local firm of Trenbath & Gas
coigne, who handed Mr.. Grosscup a
check for 5000, the full face of the
policies, three and half days after
the fire.
The building, valued at $4,000 con-
tanned Caterpillar tractor, Knox
tractor, a Buick touring car and q
Ford, besides the bulk of the tools on
the big ranch, all of which were a
total loss. 1t is thought the fire
started from defective wiring on one
of the cars.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

At the August meeting Of the coun-
ty commissioners, The Courier-Re-
porter was made the official newspa-
per of Benton county. The contract
for the county printing was let upon
the regular legal state rate, which
was submitted by each of the county
papers, the circulation of each being
the determining point. The Courier
Reporter has the largest paid-in-ad-
vance circulation of any weekly news
paper published in the Yakima valley.

BRIDGE PLANS UP
... FOR APPROVAL
Highway Commissioners o. X. is
all That is Holding up Let
ting of Contract

Plans for the Benton Franklin
bridge are now in the hands of the
state commissioner of public highways
for approval, and as soon as his of
ticial sanction has been put upon
them, calls for bids will be published,
according to a report made at We'd
nesday's session of the Commercial
club by President E. w. Trenbath.
Thereupon the work will be rushed, as
it is desired to have the bridge in op-
Grafton by the middle of next summer.
That there will be keen competition
in the bidding is indicated by the fact
that seven firms now have the plans
and specifications for the sub-struc-
ture, which has been tentatively ap-
proved by the commissioners. 1t is
expected that the contract for the con-
struction of the sub-structure will be
awarded by September 1, so that all
possible work may be done during the
low water stage of the river.
Revenues of the Walla Walla-Frank-
lin bridge across the Snake river are
averaging between $50 and $40 per
day, which far exceeds the preliminary
estimates. It is expected that with
the competition of the Kennewick-
Pasco bridge and the subsequent i'm
provement in the Translate high
ways a marked increase will be made
in the tourist travel, through this
section of the state, a large number
of which now take other highways,
owing to the bad river crossings.

HE pamphlet circulated by the
Crssall committee is an interest
~s r. starts with a statement by Attor-
- r. J. Snively, who in his very
r.,t ~ sentence says, "Graft is the hard
. ~ thing in the world to prove"
:, other words, here is Mr.. Snively's
.,mission ! that in this case there is no
sr .-0of of graft. The charges filed by
=. recall committee and the grand
:arv,s - report bear Mr.. Snively out.
Ths Courier-Reporter challenges any
80 toIuoint out one single instance in
;.har document where County Com
";..;oner r. E. Pratt is definitely and
xrsctlv charged with ever grating
:. nenny or receiving one dollar that
Al not legally and rightfully belong to
Mr. Snively knows there is no proof
ror evidence of graft against Mr..
pr.tt but he was hired to draft re-
ali uetition and he has sought to earn
sismoney by loading the petition with
generous portions of ''molasses to
cstch flies.' .,. -. :
The writher of the pamphlet does
rot dignity the publication with his
dgnature. He, too, was hired to write
n He has done his best and this pa
rer wishes to compliment him in that
be is unwilling to assume personal
responsibility for its contents.
He admonishes to voters to 'bear in
mind that FRENCH is responsible for
mvinc the Hall trucks in Portland.
That Pratt bought thousands of dol
lars worth Of trucks, rock crushers,
ETC.. in Portland"
So FRENCH was responsible for
the purchase of the Hall trucks. In
paragraph nine Of the racall petitions
the voters of Benton county are asked
to recall Pratt because these trucks
we're purchased, but the pamphlet
writer says FRENCH not PRATT was
responsible for the purchase. ~
But Pratt purchased thousands of
dcIlars worth of road machinery in
Portland Did he? How many thou
sands of dollars worth? What were
the items Of purchase? When were
they purchased? What was the price
paid? Was the price higher than the
retail price? Was the county de-
ftauded? If the recallers know that
Pratt made these purchases they must
know the answers to the foregoing
questions. If there was anything
crooked about the transactions why
didn't the grand jury, why didn't
Snively, why didn't the recall commit
tee and why doesn't the pamphlet
writer say so in plain English. The
public is entitled to the facts. If the
ncallers haven't the facts they are
shooting off their mouths unnecessar-
lily. They tell the voters what French
paid for the Hall trucks where are
the facts and figures about Pratt's
purchases?
Here they are, the only ones giver
BY the recallers. He bought an un.
used Cleveland tractor for $400 less
than it cost new and the machine has
been worked almost continuously
SINCE its purchase on the roads in thi:
district. The tractor deal was carried

gossip in John Towards neighbor

0een wagging about it ever since.

Two automobile drivers accused by
witnesses of being under the influ-
ence of intoxicants, and whose ma
chimes were In collision with others,
have been fined 500. as required by
the state law, the magistrate very
properly denouncing the driving Of mo-
tor cars by intoxicated persons and
promising that others appearing be-
fore him on similar charges would be
severely dealt with. This is well
come change from the custom of treat
ing such cases as mere escapades,
punishable by small fines, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t is presumed
the imposition of the statutory fine
was followed by the clerk of the court
notifying the state highway commits
sioner, who will determine whether the
cases require suspension or revocation
of the licenses. If the example thus
set, backing the warning of the magis-
trate, In these cases Is followed In all
ether courts the intoxicated driver
should he driven from our streets and
highways, as he ought to have been
long ago.

In all our urging Of the farm boys
to stay on the farm, we must lot for
get that some boys have talents for
other work. and without their heart
in farm work, will make a miserable
failure at farming, says the Farm
Life. So while it is most desirable
to make home life on the farm pleas
ant and attractive to the young peo-
pie, It is criminal to hold boy to the
farm when he has a talent for other
work. Had a certain boy with crav-
ing for law been held on the farm, our
country might have been without the
guiding hand and brain of Abraham
Lincoln In those trying sixties. One
must make sure that the boy has a
fair opportunity to Judge the appeal
the farm makes, but If he has other
talents, they are equally God-giyen
talents, and must not be buried. We
have enough failures on the farm as
1t Is.

PLANT TREE EoR new BABY.

In the inland sections Of Japan,
where the rice fields and the fishing
villages Of the coast and the inland
sea have given place to the forms of
farming which the average man OF
that country best knows, there are
some few stretches of forests and tree
covered plains and hills that are i'm
pressive as well as picturesque. But
in most of Japan the tree is a pains
takingly planted, carefully tended
and artisticaIly trimmed creation.
sometimes giving the impression Of
being more man-created than "happeh-
ing by accident" One of the reasons
there are almost invariably fine trees
surrounding the homes of the weil-to-
do of Japan is because when a baby
is born tree is planted in honor of
the newborn child, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The tree is called ''the
baby's tree" often is given the name
of the child, and both tree and child
grow up together. During the years
when the baby is growing up the
childs tree is watched over both by
the parents and their gardener, as
well as the child. Many a Japanese
mother would fear that her child was
about to die If the child's tree were
to become sick and die. And they
take it as the best possible omen when
the tree fourishes better than any
other tree In the neighborhood. Moth
ing is permitted to harm this tree I'M
