nuts that fall in the spring should
also be burned in order to lessen the
numbers of the fall generation.
Burning the limbs and twigs under
all pecan, hickory, and persimmon
trees is important as control for
the hickory twig girdler which did
considerable damage this year. The
eggs are laid in the twigs which
are then cut off smoothly, as the
insect must develop in dead wood.
Unless these limbs and twigs are
burned, the grown girdlers will come
out the next spring and summer and
repeat the damage of the previous
year.

Attorneys Bruce McGregor and

to secure a jury that would de-

Day in October

Bridge company turned the new
highway bridge across the Column
bia to the Benton-F Franklin Inter-
County Bridge company. Charles
G. Huber, builder of the bridge
and principal stockholder in the
corporation was named general
manager of the company.
Considerable time was devoted
to a discussion of the present
schedule of tolls. A few minor
changes were ordered but for the
present the passenger rates will
not be changed.
w. j. Honeycutt, toll taker, re-
portS that for the "a days the
bridge was in operation in October
the total receipts were $5,7S3.65 OF
an average of $157.65 per day. This
amount is in excess of the esti.
mates of the most enthusiastic
bridge boosters. Mr.. Honeycuti
says the big surprise has been the
volume of local traffic between

Yakima Noses Out Three
Point Victory Over
KenneWick High

The hardest nut in Central

Zimmerman, Of Walla Walla, has
at last been cracked. The speedy
Yakima Hi team discovered the
method and defeated Kennewick in
close game last Saturday. But
the Rennewick grid boys did not
go down easily.
They fought and fought hard.
More than once the Yakima squad
pulled out of serious difficulties.
When a Kennewick back fumbled
on Yakima one yard line and when
Fraser in an attempted place kick
missed by fraction of an inch, are
examples of these difficulties.

exchange of punts between Beste

yard line, only to lose the ball on

wick 'braced but was unable to
prevent a place kick. The score
was then Yakima 8, Kennewick o.
