BOILING OF
CITY WATER
MUST CONTINUE
Crosby Says as Long as There is
Contamination the Order
Must Stand
Is NOT in THE RESERVOIR
Pacific Power & Light Company Plans
Building of Chlorine Gas Treat
ing Plant

There is nothing to do but to be
patient and continue to boil all drink
ing water in the city," said Health Of
ficer Crosby this morning when asked
how long the "boiling" order was to
hold good.
DR.. Crosby said frequent samples
are being sent to the state board Of
health and until these tests show the
water to be free from contamination
there is nothing to do but to continue
to boil all drinking water. The Pacif-
ic Power e. Light company is coope-
rating in every way possible with the
city authorities.
Manager l.. r. Stafford, Of the p. p.
& L. gave out the following statement:
"Rumors that city water is contain
mated at the reservoir are untrue. The
reservoir is properly screened and has
been drained and cleaned at regular
intervals. No filth or organic SUBJ
stance has been found.
"Tests of the water have been made
frequently and up to last week results
were negative. Reports on recent
samples Were received from the State
Board of Health last week, however,
and indicate that water taken from the
Columbia River below the mouth of
the Yakima is unfit for drinking pur-
poses. aFs -a.-s. a
"The company is taking immediate
steps to remedy this condition, prob
ably by the installation of modern
chlorine gas treating plant. The cost
viii be considerable, but as long as the
company operates as water utility, it
feels that no expense is too great
where public health is involved.
"We wish to thank the local physi-
clans for their able and timely assist
ance in locating the trouble.
''The treating plant will be rushed
to completion as fast as supplies can
be obtained. In the meantime BOIL
THE WATER"

STATE POLL TAX
PAYABLE MONDAY
County Assessor will Turn List
Over to Treasurer who will
Send Out Statements

Upon the receipt of the list the
county treasurer will send out state.
ments to all who must pay the tax
The poll tax is payable in the same
manner as property tax, it is due May
1 and must be paid by June 1. After
that date the collection will be placed
in the hands of the sheriff who will
add the cost of collection to the tax.
County Assessor Ben Rupert is put
ting the finishing touches to the poll
tax list which he will turn over to the
county treasurer before May 1. The
assessor has been at work on the list
for several weeks and as completed
he believes it will be found to be 95
per cent efficient. Mr.. Rupert has
compiled the list from data in his own
office together with additional infor-
nation gathered by his field deputies.
In adopting this method the assessor
has saved the expense of a special poll
tax census which would have cost ap-
proximately $4,000.
A section of the new poll tax law
states that "Any person, firm or cor
poration, or company, or agent there
for, having in their employ, persons
liable to pay poll tax as herein pro-
vided, shall, before making to any
such person any payment of wages or
salary after the first day of May of
each, require of such person satisfac-
tory proof that he or she has paid
the poll tax required, and, in event
that such proof is not furnished, such
person, firm, corporation, or agent
thereof, shall deduct from the wages
or salary due and owing to each of
such employees the sum of the poll
for which such employee is then liza
BILE and pay the same to the county
treasurer on behalf of such employee"

ted with practically no peaches in
some sections and fairly good yields in
others. Prospects are for fair crop
of sweet cherries and full crop of
pears. So far the Strawberries are
coming on in 100 per cent condition.
None of the blossoms have been nipped
by the frost, beds are in excellent
condition and crop prospects Were nev-
er better at this time of year.
The present unsettled weather con-
ditions have caused the growers some
concern but owing to a friendly wind
the Columbia river district escaped
the heavy frost which last week did
considerable damage to the fruit in
the east end of the county and farther
up the Yakima valley.

nance by Judge Staser

1t cost "Goldie" Clark one hundred
dollars yesterday for the privilege of
peddling a small cargo Of "kawn''
whiskey inside the corporate limits of
the city. 1t would probably cost him
more but he was arrested under the
city ordinance and was given the linn
it by Police Judge c. Staser.
Clark, who has been making Ken
newick for years as horse trader,
drove into town two or three days ago.
1t wasn't long after his arrival that
Chief of Police Jack Dale and Deputy
Sheriff C. E. Copeland began to scent
moonshine. 1t was not until yester-
day morning, however, that they were
able to connect up with Clark. When
arrested he had no liquor in his pos
session but delivered three suit cases
containing empty jugs to the police
and when taken before Judge Staser he
plead guilty, paid his fine and left
town.

bayior-Must Report to Court
Each Month

Nine Kennewick boys, ranging from
10 to Is years old, were adjudged de-
lnuuents by Superior Judge John

urday. The boys were sentenced to
the State Training school at Chehalis

some twenty whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the So
called "boy gang" which has been
keeping the local police authorities
busy for a month.
Of the twelve, Harold Christensen,

nounced sentence are: Paul McCurdy,
Joe Kerchell, Tom Carlson, Howard
Hembree, Jennings butcher, Murray

kkins and Donald Woods. r..... ..s

GOOD PROSPECT
FOR FRUIT PRICES
Reports Indicate that Nations
Crop will be Light and Grow
ers are Urged to Spray

Making due allowance for the COM
mon tendency to overestimate injury
to growing crops by frost, there ap-
pears to be little doubt but that the
nations fruit crop has been seriously
damaged and the outlook is bright for
good fruit prices this year.
Among those agencies who have
been making a careful survey of fruit
crop conditions is the Hardie Mfg. Co.,
manufacturers of sprayers. In let
ter to their local agents, the Columbia
Garage, this company says: "We en-
close you copies Of two letters which
we have just received from our home
office. You no doubt have seen in the
papers news concerning series of
freezes which occurred in various
portions of the East beginning Easter
Sunday. While these two letters show
only the results in two widely removed
sections, Arkansas and Maryland, Mr..
Hardie writes US that this freeze en-
braced all the territory in between
with the exception of Michigan and
New York, and this is the light bear
ing year for New York state.
"In face of this idence it would
appear that this is no time to let
down on spraying nor neglect keep
ing orchards in first class condition"
The letter from Arkansas written
by a Hardie dealer says: "We know
what we are talking about, when we
tell you the apple crop in Benton
and Washington counties will not be
10 per cent of normal crop. We will
have a few Jonathans and possibly a
few other earlier varieties. The late
varieties are approximately all gone.
Very few of our orchard men are
even going to keep up spraying.
Doubt if 10 or Is per cent of them
will look after spraying their orchards
from now on" 81 Il
From Maryland another Hardie
dealer writes: "From the reports we
are receiving it would indicate that
the entire fruit crop in this territory
is almost complete failure. There
may be few apples scattered around
but we can get no information that
there are any peaches whatever left
and in most instances the growers
claim they positively have no apples
left. The writer personally visited a
good many orchards and while he has
found few apples, it looks as though
there were not enough left on the
trees to pay for spraying and har-
vesting."
While local growers admit that the
danger from killing frosts is not yet
entirely over they are predicting a
bumper apple crop this fall. The low
temperatures of two weeks ago did
considerable damage to the Delicious
and Jonathans but the Winesaps,
which constitute the bulk of the crop
have escaped injury and the trees give
evidence of being loaded with fruit.
Latest reports indicate that the
peach and apricot crop will be spot
