CHERRY CROP is
HAPPY SURPRISE
Shipments Far Exceed Estimates
Made Following Frost-Big
Y Ships Three Cars

If all tree fruits yield this year as
have the cherries, the toll which Jack
Frost levied upon the orchards of this
district this spring will not be as
great as has been thought.
The Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
association tomorrow will load out its
third full car ot cherries, one having
rolled Tuesday and another Wednes.
day. The cars were billed to Nebraska
and Minnesota points.
There were more cherries in these
three carloads than the estimate for
the crop of the entire valley. Express
shipments have been heavy and the
total crop will far exceed even the most
liberal estimates.

OVER HILLS
TOPORTLAND
Road From Kennewick to
Plymouth is Shortest Cut
to Rose City

According to VIM. Switzler the road
across the hills from Kennewick to
Plymouth and Umatiila offers great
possibilities to the tourist who knows
where he is going and wants to get
there quickly and economically.
Mr.. Switzler who is the owner and
operator of the ferry between Ply
mouth and Umatilla, was guest Of
the Commercial club luncheon on
Wednesday. He says the road across
the hills is becoming more widely
known every day as a short cut to
Portland. To the tourist who comes
into the state through the Spokane
gateway and is headed to Portland
via the Columbia highway the Central
Washington highway from Spokane to
Kennewick and the hill road from Ken
newick to Umatilla means saving of
80 miles.
1t is 26 miles from here to the ferry
crossing and the trip can be made in
an hour and quarter. From Uma-
tilla on the Oregon side there is a
good graveled road to the paved high
way at The Dalles.
B. E. .Reser, of this city, who made
the trip from Portland to Kennewick
the first of the week in a Dodge re-
ports the road in good condition. His
actual running time between Portland
and Kennewick was 91s hours.
This spring the hill road was work
ed from Plymouth to the divide and
it is now being worked between Ken
newick and the divide. Mr.. Switzler
asked the cooperation of the CONNER
cial club in keeping the road in good
condition throughout the summer

PULLMAN TRIP
GREAT SUCCESS
Bows and Girls Club Work
ers Are Enthusiastic Up
on Their Return

The five boys and girls who rep
resented Benton county at the first
annual short course held at the State
College for boys and girls club work
ers, will not soon forget their weeks
stay at Pullman. 1t was an eventful
week full of recreation, study, and in
spiration and the boys and girls are
enthusiastic about it.
Club members attending constituted
the pick of over 5000 boys and girls
who are now enrolled in club work.
They were chosen from the % coun-
ties for their leadership, ability and
previous achievements.
The training given the boys and
girls in agriculture and home econom-
les included canning, sewing, cooking,
gardening, poultry raising, swine,
beef, dairy, sheep, bees and club lead
ership. Regular classes were conduct
ed every day by members of the col
lege faculty and extension service
specialists, and all the boys and girls
attended the classes just like reg
ular college students.
Play formed part OF the regular
schedule and DR.. Boiler, head of the
athletic department of the college
superintended that part Of the pro-
gram. Entertainments were arranged
with moving pictures and special mus
icals were given to the club members
while attending.

HOWARD ANON
IS CONFIDENT
Says Big Project Will Be
Built if Bonds are Vail
dated by Court


Howard S. Anon Of Portland, con-
tractor for the Horse Heaven Irri-
cation project, is in Kennewick this
afternoon looking after matters in
connection with this project.
Mr.. Anon says that unless unfor-
seen legal technicalities arise the
building of the project will be carried
out as stipulated in his contract with
the irrigation district. He says he
is prepared to file surety bond for
performance Of the contract within
twenty-four hours after the $32,000,-
900 bond issue has been validated by
the court. The validation hearing is
set for July z.
Mr.. Anon says that with such a
large amount involved all legal pre-
liminaries must of necessity be pro-
ceeded with carefully and slowly. Peo-
pie generally, he says, do not realize
the magnitude of this undertaking.
For instance about eight million dol
lars must be expended on construc-
ton on the head waters of the Kick
itat and Muddy rivers fifty miles from
rail transportation and in a country
which for half the year is inaccessible
on account Of snow.
.sIt is a big job" said Mr.. Anon.
"But we are aware of its bigness and
we are making our plans according
ly."

Business Men and Farmers
Readily Sign Next Years
r...- ... Contract
EXCELLENT SHOWING
MADE THIS YEAR
Kennewick Gains Reputa-
ton as Place of Splendid
Spirit

Kennewick fifth annual Chautauqua
week was brought to a close last night
with an entertainment by the New
York City Concert quartet which was
undoubtedly the premier musical at
traction of the six days program.
From the standpoint of local inter-
est, community spirit, attendance and
all around good feeling between the
Chautauqua folk and the home folk
the week must be put on record along
with other Chautauqua weeks, as a
success. Altho final checking of ac-
counts has not yet been made, the
local committee reports there will be
just about an even break in finances
this year. Members of the committe
express themselves as more than
pleased with this condition. The COM
munity is not very ,"flush" this year
and it was feared rather large def
icit might be shouldered upon the
guarantors.
There is little doubt but that Chau-
tauqua has become one of Kennewick's
permanent institutions. The attend
ance this year proved it and the peo-
pie voiced their approval when re-
quested to express their wishes. As
a result next years contract was sign
ed Tuesday evening by 35 business and
professional men and farmers.
Without exception the talent this
year brought word that the name OF
Kennewick has spread far in Chau-
tauqua circles. 1t is not big morey
maker for the system, but it is knowl
up and down the Ellison-Whitc cir
cults as place where everybody
boosts, nobody knocks and there is a
splendid community spirit-as a place
where audiences are courteous and at
tentive and there is an abundance Of
good fellowship between performances.
The general verdict of Chautauqua-
goers seems to be that the educational
and inspirational features of this
years program were stronger than
the entertainment numbers. The writ
er has heard nothing but praise for
the lectures of Private" Peat, Arthur
Walwyn Evans and Chancellor Brad
ford. Each of the trio is gifted
orator and each had message for the
ordinary, everyday individual.
As last year, play night proved the
big night of the week. The tent was
filled to capacity and the big audience
evidenced its satisfaction by perfect
attention and liberal applause. Un-
doubtedly Mr.. and Mrs. Clark back
this year stronger company in
stronger play.
In spite of the hot days the kiddies
worked diligently under the direction
of Mrs. Dickson and their pageant
was one of the features of the closing
day.
Members of the local committee are
loud in their praises Of Director Guy
Young, who cooperated splendidly with
the committee and spared no effort
to contribute to the comfort and en-
tertainment of the audiences.

TO some people who have not made

Manager Muldrow. "But if they will
t,te the trouble to investigate they
viii soon find that it is unavoidable.
There are three main types of water
veeds-the land types, that grow in
the edge Of the water; the true water
weeds that grow on the bottom; and
Tie algae, or mosses, that grow on the
surface, without roots. The first is
important only in small laterals; the
second is most effective in obstructing
tie flow Of water in the canals; while
the last is the worst about clogging
vsirs and pipes and interfering with
the distribution of water. The COM
bination Of IN these forms when hot
weather comes on and warns the
water to suitable growing conditions
for them, creates a situation that
makes good irrigation service impos-
'lble except by the expedient Of turn

aeadgate any more without putting

breaks on the upper canal.
Every method Of fighting these
weeds that anybody has been able to

with socialist politics. II. as ex-
pected, his candidacy becomes
