News of Ten
Years Ago

There will be large acreage of
potatoes harvested in the Kenne-
wick Valley this year. The first
new spuds are being shipped by
the Collins Co. this week and are
practically the first Washington
grown potatoes to be marketed.
Otto Hansen, of Spokane, has
received communications from
Washington, d. c., informing him
that the decision given in the land
court there, in the case which has
been carried on for some months,
was in his favor. His opponents
were M. N. Hudnall, Miss Bien-
hart, Chas. Robertson and Ed
Mann. They have been granted
the privilege of appealing to the
Secretary of the Interior, and I'M
less they take this course, the de-
cision is final. Some Of the finest
homesteads in the state were in
volved in this case, which fact has
made the fight of more than ordi-
nary interest to the contestants.
These are busy days at the flour
mill. Tom McKain is the able
leader of small army of workmen
who are busy putting in machin-
cry, a car load of which arrived
this week from Spokane. A new
side track from the O.-W. r. & N.
was completed last week, making it
more convenient for placing the
machinery.
DR.. and Mrs. Crosby take up
their residence in their beautiful
new home on West Second street,
this week. The lawn has been
planted and terraced and the
grounds will soon be among the
finest in the city.
All the Kennewick and Valley
folks who are looking for a good
place to spend the Fourth are cor
daily invited to the Darling ranch
known as the Geo. Cook place, two
and one-half miles southeast of
town. A big picnic lunch at noon
will be one of the browning fea-
lures of the day, and good pro-
gram Of sports is being arranged,
which will furnish all the excite
ment needed.

Prosperity for Kennewick
The Produce Company,
Kennewick, Washington.

Inc fTOQuce SOiHpduy,
Kennewick, Washington.
Gentlemen: / presume you may
have looked over the June 9Th gov
eminent crop report. The state Of
Washington is certainly to be con-
graduated upon having the larg-
est apple crop in the United States
this year, passing New York state
by over one million bushels, and Of
having 20 per cent of all the apples
in the United States. Think Of the
conditions in Virginia with only 2
per cent of a crop, in Missouri with
8 per cent, West Virginia with 8
per cent, and Ohio, Indiana and Ill
inois with only about so per cent
each. And then Washington with
90 per cent. We have one-third of
the u. S. apple crop in the west,
this year as against only one-ninth
last year. This cannot help but
spell prosperity for Kenne-
wick. Sincerely yours,
Bean Spray Pump Co.

Our harvest trade has been very
good, many large orders being sold
the past two weeks. We have the
goods to fill the orders with and
that our prices are right is borne
out by the fact that we are doing a
large mail order business in all
adjacent towns. We are enjoying
the business of a large number Of
the Connell wheat growers this
summer, and they are unanimous
in saying that Kennewick is the
cheapest place to trade.

Butter and
Eggs Higher

Butter prices advanced last week
and we are now retailing best
creamery at 43c per lb. Our pay
ing price on ranch butter is 2Sc
per lb. and the selling price is 33c
per lb.
We find that many who used to
bring us butter are now selling
their cream instead and some say
they find it just as profitable and
much less work.
Thursday of this week we adj
vanced our paying price on eggs
to &c per dozen. Bring US your
eggs, we have a market for all we
can get and you may depend upon
receiving the best possible prices
that the outside markets afford,
less the expense of cases, express
charges, etc.
If we can hope to get the top
prices for our eggs we must have
the best. Gather them daily, bring
them in often, the warm weather
has its effect on them within a
very short time. The price we get
for your eggs depends entirely on
the number of GOOD eggs we send
to market.
Flour market is weak and we are
expecting cheaper flour any time.
New spuds are coming in now
and the quality is good. Prices
have tumbled somewhat and we are
now retailing at lbs. for Csc.

Chairman White to Make Detailed Statement of

Several months ago friends of w. G.
McAdoo urged a meeting but a call
was refused by Chairman White, A
question of Mr.. Whites resignation
was widely discussed at that time.
That Mr.. White would continue as
chairman, for the present at least,
was declared by party leaders here
tonight. His friends in Ohio have
been urging him to become a candi-
date for governor for the next cleo
ton and those here declare this de-
velopment is probable.
Among business affairs of the par
ty to be discussed at the meeting is
the deficit which Mr.. White said has
been reduced since November, but
still remains matter for settlement.
Former Governor Cox, it was said.
is not expected to attend the meeting
and the question of future candi-
dacies, leaders said, would not be
raised formally, at least.

pion woman's golfer of the United

teenth green of the Hollywood Golf
Club today, Miss Marion Hollins, 4
member Of the Westbrook Golf Stub
of Great River, N. Y, succeeding
Miss AleXa Stirling of Atlanta, Ga,
who had held the title since 1916.
In the final round of the weeks
annual national tournament Miss
Hollins defeated Miss Sterling by
five and four in a thirty-six hole
match. Miss Stirling was never in
the lead and was four down after
the morning play of eighteen holes.
In being dethroned from the place,
which she has occupied as queen of
American golfers since she was
eighteen years old, Miss Stirling
suffered her first defeat in sham
tournament to an American
since she won the title. 1t was also
the worst defeat of her career. This
is the second title she has lost this |
summer, Miss Cecil Leitch having
aiken the Canadian championship
from her. She was also defeated by
Miss Leitch in the British champion
ship tournament and failed to sur
i've far in the tourney for the

(By Associated Presn.l !

Washington, Oct. 8.-Develop.
ments, which were declared to pres.
sage early reduction in railroad
freight rates and clearing of the rail
road situation geaerally came here
today from several quarters.
A group Of prominent railroad ex-
ecutives conferred today with Pre-
sident Harding .apd Senator Cum.
mings, Republican, Of Iowa, chairman
of the senate Interstate commerce
committee, and discussed steps to-
ward freight rate reductions preli-
minary to the executives meeting at
Chicago October IA. ....
Rate reductions also was the prni.
cipal topic on the program at meet
ing tonight of Democratic and Re-
publican senators comprising the un-
official agricultural "bloc." Senators
attending the meeting said there was
a wide and vigorous demand for rate
cuts as imperative to the agricultu- |
raj interests.
Senator Cummings, after his con- !
ference with the railway executives,
said he believed they would adopt !
at their Chicago meeting, his sug-
sestion for an Immediate reduc-
ion. No definite or formal assu-
'ances to this effect were given him
1t today's conference, he explained,
'ut he expressed the opinion that the
eductions would be made by the car
iers voluntarily.
The carriers then, Senator Cum
nlngs said, probably would ask the
Hallway Labor Board to reduce
'ages or appeal to congress for
egIslatlon to meet the situation
aused by the voluntary rate reduc-
ion.
Reduction Of passenger rates is
OF contemplated at this time, in the
plnlon of Senator Cummings, who
Splained that the pressing imme
late concern for agricultural, and
Il other industries, was freight rate {

to get his left arm, with his revolver

Keeping undesirable characters from
stealing rides, and they are forced to
be prompt in using force as they are
liable to be shot down at any mo-

Williams said that the reason he
ired so quickly was that he had been
old that special agents shot every
nan they caught stealing a ride on
heir trains.
