DWELLING IS Z
BURNED TO GROUND
House Occupied by Geo. Baxter
Destroyed-Owned by Frye
Packing Company

A dwelling house near the S. P. &
S. depot, occupied by George Baxter
and family was completely destroyed
by fire shortly before noon today. AL
though inside the corporate limits the
house is not within reach of any fire
hydrant and all efforts to stay the
flames We're futile. Members of the
fire department ard volunteer work
ers formed bucket brigade for the
protection Of other nearby dwellings.
The building was owned by the Frye
Packing company, of Seattle, and was
one of the two dwellings on the tract
purchased by the Seattle company
several years ago for stockyards pur-
poses. u
Mrs. Baxter, who was not at home
at the time the fire broke out is un-
able to account for its origin as there
was little if any fire in any Of the
stoves at the time she left. Indica-
tions are that the fire started in one
of the front rooms on the first floor.
A number of household articles Were
carried from the burning building but
the Baxters' loss will be considerable.

ese must be thoroughly wet with

these must be thoroughly wet with
spray.
The dormant spray Of oil or lime
sulphur has some value in controlling
orchard mites and red spider. Where
these pests were present last year the
tree trunks and the ground for about
one foot away from the trunks should
be well wet with spray as many of
the winter eggs are deposited at the
tree trunks.
Regarding the relative value of lime
sulphur and oil emulsions it may be
said that they are of about equal
value for controlling San Jose scale
and the egg stages of green aphis,
rosy aphis and red spider. If woolly
aphis are present above ground, the
dormant application of oil will destroy
more of them than will the lime-suI-
phur. If apple mildew is present a
delayed lime-sulphur spray will have
some fungicidal value which the oil
is not believed to possess.

.MOULTON AGAIN
SCHOOL DIRECTOR
Friends of Present Incumbent
are Taken Unawares But Win
Out by Small Majority

Some unexpected excitement was
injected into the annual school elec-
tion Saturday when an eleventh-hour
campaign was started in behalf of Phil
G. Warnock against M. M. Moulton,
who announced his candidacy for re
election some time ago. Moulton
won out by the small majority of %
votes, the total being Moulton 144,
Warnock 116.
Little or no advance interest was
shown in the election as it did not be-
come known until the afternoon of
election that Mr.. Moulton would have
any opposition. AS soon as Mr.. Moul-
toms friends became aware that an
effort was being made to defeat him
they got busy and the majority Of the
26O votes cast were hustled into the
box during the last two hours of the
voting day.
Mr.. Moulton's reelection leaves the
personnel OF the board unchanged.
The other two members are Rev. F.
L. Fraser and R. H. Briggs.

JOHN MOUNSEY
PASSES AWAY
Kennewick Farmer Dies in Sc.
attic HOspital-Funeral Held
Here Tuesday

John Mounsey, of this city, died
Sunday morning at Seattle hospital
following an illness of several months.
The body was shipped to this city and
funeral services We're conducted at
2:30 Tuesday afternoon at the Muel-
Ter parlors with Rev. John A. Shaw,
of the Baptist church, in charge.
Mr.. Mounsey, who was "A years of
age, had made his home in this COM
munity for 16 years most of which
time he was engaged in farming in the
River Road district. Several years
ago he was afflicted with tuberculo-
sis from which he received cure.
Last summer he sustained an injury
to his side by being thrown against a
hay derrick. This caused a humorous
growth in the lung which resulted in
his, death. He went to Seattle the
first of the year to receive treatment
but the physicians there were unable
to ascertain the exact nature Of his
illness except by the performance of
an autopsy.
Mr.. Mounsey leaves a widow, three
sons and a daughter, two brothers,
Richard, of Seattle, and George, of
Yakima, and two sisters who live in
the east. The two brothers attended
the funeral.
Mrs. Mounsey and children will
make their home with her mother,
Mrs. Fred Moeller.

NEW IRRIGATION
SYSTEM PLANNED
Wooden Fumes will be Replaced
with Concrete Pipe in the
Garden Tracts

The old wooden fumes by means of
which a large part of the Garden
Tracts has been irrigated are being
replaced with a modern system of
underground concrete pipes which will
give the Garden Tracts a distribution
system second to none in the valley.
The new system which is being in
stalled by Edwards, Fyfe & Co., will
furnish water to 81 acres. It is be-
ing built on the direct payment plan
with the cost prorated among &c land
owners.
The intake for the new pipe line
leaves the main canal east Of the C.
Staser home. 1t extends due north
to the Columbia river at the Fred
Giard place.
The system will be equipped with
seven concrete division boxes with
steel weirs and the entire distributing
system will be underground.
The new pipe line will make possible
the irrigation of the old school grounds
in the Garden Tracts which have been
unused for several years. It is un-
derstood that these grounds will be
seeded, set to trees and be used tenn
porarily for park purposes.

LOCAL PROJECT
MAY RECEIVE
FEDERAL MONEY
Sundry Civil Appropriation Car
ries SsOO,OOO for New Work
in Yakima Project
KENNEWICK is FIRST in LINE
If There is Enough Money in Recla-
nation Fund Work May Be Start
ed This Summer

The sundry civil bill the signing Of
which was one of the last Official acts
of President Wilson, carries an appro-
priation Of 100000 for work in the
Yakima reclamation project this year.
OF this sum $1,300,000 is for work on
uncompleted units and the Rimrock
dam, leaving 100000 for new work.
In submitting his estimates and rec
concentrations to congress Director
Davis, of the reclamation service, des-
ignated the Kennewick district as first
in line for the money to be expended
on new work.
With this knowledge directors of
the Kennewick Irrigation district have
been quietly at work for some time
in an effort to come to some definite
understanding with reclamation Of
ficials regarding plans for beginning
conctruction of this project. Inasmuch
as the district has already entered in
to a contract with the government for
stored water and has. voted $4,000,000
in bonds for construction purposes, it
is probable that some manner Of CO.
operative agreement will be worked
out between the government and the
district.
1t often happens that the reclama-
tion appropriations exceed the amount
in the reclamation funds the amounts
allotted to the several projects have
to be reduced. This may be the case
this year and it is possible that all of
the 100000 will not be available.
More definite information as to the
probability of starting work on the
local project will be available upon
the return of Project Manager J. L.
Lytle, who is in Washington, d. c.,
attending conference of reclamation
officials.

JAMES K. HAWKINS
ADJUDGED INSANE
Highlands Farmer is Ordered to
Medical Lake but is Given
Into Custody of Mother

At a hearing Tuesday, James K.
Hawkins, Kennewick Highlands farm
er, was adjudged insane and commit
ted to the eastern Washington hospi-
tai for the insane at Medical Lake by
Court Commissioner G. w. Hamilton.
The examination was conducted by
Drs. H. M. French and w. w. Brand,
of Prosser, with Mrs. Hawkins, son
and daughter and H. j. Leibel, of the
Highlands, as witnesses.
The state law governing insanity
cases provides that commitment to
one of the state institutions may be
stayed by relative guaranteeing that
the patient will be cared for privately.
This requirement was met by Mr..
Hawkins mother of Seattle, who gave
bond in the sum of $4,000 and took
her son into her own care.
The insanity charge followed a
stormy scene at the Hawkins home on
Saturday when it is alleged that dur
ing fit of temper the father
threatened great bodily injury to mem
bers of his family. The man was pre-
vented from carrying out his threats
by his son, Eugene, who overpowered
his father. and held him down while his
sister telephoned for assistance. The
call was answered by Deputy Sheriff
C. E. Copeland and Chief of Police
Jack Dale who took Hawkins into Gus
tody. After consulting with the pros
ecuting attorney Eugene became the
complainant to an insanity warrant.
Testimony at the hearing showed
that these fits of temper were of fre-
.quent occurrance and that members of
the family lived in constant fear of
the husband and father.
Mr.. Hawkins, who has farmed on
the Highlands for ten years, is we'll
known in this community and through
out the county. He has always taken
a lively interest in politics and in
times past has been an unsuccessful
candidate for county commissioners and
state representative. At the present
time he is an active candidate for ap-
pointment as deputy U. S. marshal for
the eastern Washington district.
