TWO BALLOTS
AGAINST TAX
Special School Levy of Nine
Mills Carries by Big
Percentage

At the special school election Satur-
day there were only two votes cast
in opposition to the special tax levy
OF 9 mills. Owing to the absence of
an evidence of opposition to the pro-
position the vote was extremely light,
the total cast being only 81.
The additional levy will be used by
the board to install a new heating
plant in the Washington building, pro-
viding and equipping one more school
room and to meet the necessary ex-
penses of maintenance and operation
of the school plant.
Bids for the new heating plant have
been called for and the contract will
be let so that the building will be
ready for occupancy at the beginning
of the fall term.
AS yet the board has reached no def
mite decision as to the additional
school room. If there is suitable
room in the city it may be rented,
otherwise small, inexpensive build
ing will be erected on the high school
grounds.

HIGH WATER DOES
ONLY SMALL DAMAGE
Work on Columbia Bridge will Not be
Seriously Delayed by Loss of
False Work

Several bents of the false work be-
tween two of the piers of the new high
way bridge across the Columbia have
been swept away by high water. Cool
er weather the last few days has
checked the rise of the river and en-
gineers are of the opinion that little,
if any, further damage will be done.
The normal high water stage was
reached Monday but the peak of this
years high mark is not expected for
about another week. Engineers in
charge of the work have been making
a careful study of records for years
back and compiling facts as to the
amount of snow in the Columbia wa
tershed and they are of the opinion
that the water will go but little high
er before it starts to recede.
The loss of the false work will re-
tard the work some but will not cause
any material delay. The work of lay
ing steel will be postponed to wait
the passing of the high water peak
The report that crew of 40 steel
workers had arrived in Pasco as pub
lished in yesterdays daily press was
denied this morning by Resident En-
gineer Dean. No such crews have ar.
rived.

SUNNYSIDE
NEXT SUNDAY
Sundays Baseball G a m e
Promises to be One of the
Fastest This Season

Kennewick's baseball players are
looking forward to one of the hardest
battles of the season Sunday when
they play Sunnyside here. The visiting
team is one of the snappiest organic
ations in the Yakima valley and have
been going strong.
Manager Gascoigne says that if
Kennewick fans want baseball the rest
of the summer they must register in
greater numbers on the sidelines. The
present team he says cannot be held
together unless they get better sup
port than they have been getting.
Sundays game with Richland was
one of the closest Of the season. Ken
newick broke tie in the last half of
the ninth and won to 5. Yedica was
in the box for the visitors and mater
tally brought down the batting aver
ages of the locals. Tuesday at Han
ford Kennewick won by score of Ia

Local Irrigation District has
Water Now for High
Line Project
WALLA WALLA JURY
FIXES VALUATION
Power Company and Others
Are to be Paid S4S, 100 for
Their Rights

The Kennewick Irrigation District
is now the owner of the dam in the
Yakima River at Prosser. A jury in
the superior court in Walla Walla
Saturday fixed the value Of the dam
together with 28 miles of right Of
way and all other rights of the Pac-
ific Power e. Light company, z. F.
Benson and the Nelson Rich estate
at $48,100.
Both parties to the litigation have
expressed themselves as well pleased
with the verdict. As matter Of fact
it is understood the power company
was willing to sell its rights for $780,
600 and the district had been willing
to pay $4,000.
This case marked the successful con-
clusion Of the irrigation districts ef-
forts to acquire water supply for
the Kennewick high line which will ir-
rigate $4,000 acres of the valleys
choicest lands. The water which flows
over the Prosser dam together with
the stored water contracted for from
the government is sufficient for the
maximum demands Of the project.
The acquisition of these rights prac-
tically insures the early construction
Of the project should the Smith-Mc-
Nary reclamation bill be made law
by congress. The project has been
surveyed and has the approval Of the
u. s. reclamation service and all pre-
liminary details has been carried out
in accordance with the provisions Of
the Smith McNary bill.

Potato Crop Is Threatened!

The Colorado potato beetle threat
ems to become serious menace to the
potato industry of this county. Con-
troll measures, properly carried out,
will eradicate this pest. Before this
campaign of eradication can be effec-
lively carried out the places where
the beetles are at present must be
found. This will require the help Of
every potato grower.
You are asked to cooperate to the
extent of examining your potato
plants for potato bugs, their larvae
or eggs. Please report the result of
your investigation to v. L. Georgeson
at Kennewick, by letter or by phone,
during office hours. The telephone
number is 1851. IF you wish to phone
in the evening, call David w. Bryant,
whose number is 3173.
The important thing is to look over
your potatoes and make a report,
whether you have these beetles or not.
It is as important to know that your
field is not infested as it is to know
the beetles are there, so make some
kind of report.

BERRY PRICE ON
TOBOGGAN SLIDE
Market Goes to Pieces in Hurry and
Price is Cut in Half Almost
Overnight

Like thunderbolt from a clear sky
the strawberry market went all to
pieces the first of the week. The Three
Rivers Growers association finished
the week with daily orders exceeding
their receipts by about 500 crates and
the market firm around $4.00 and
$3.50. Monday cancellation Of stand
ing orders began to come in and by
Tuesday there was hardly an order
in sight.
Almost overnight it seemed local
berries began to appear in the mar
ket, CALIFORNIA; were still arriving by
the carloads and Hood River began to
ship in carload lots. Tuesday Cali
fornia berries were selling in Port
land at S1.00 a crate and Hood Rivers
were plentiful at SITS to 1925 crate.
This was typical of other Northwest
markets. The Montana markets re-
ported overstocks of Missouri berries
and heavy arrival of Hood Rivers.
The Dakotas and Minnesota markets
were in better shape but owing to the
hot weather the Kennewick berries
were too soft to reach those markets.
The local association shipped car to
Spokane last night. Sales Manager
Weyrauch accompanied the shipment
and personally sold it this morning.
Another car will be shipped tonight
and this will clean up the local surplus
and with lighter receipts it is possible
that the price may be strengthened
over the week end.
The shipping season is holding on
longer than was expected but with few
exceptions the harvest will be over by
the end Of next week.

With the warm weather of the past
week conducive to the rapid emerg-
ence Of the codling moth larvae, the
horticultural department is recon-
mending the application Of the second
cover spray to be finished by June
18th to 18th. This Recommendation
is based upon the date Of the first
cover spray which was June 1st. The
second spray should be applied within
IL or l5 days after the first spray, as
the largest number Of larvae Of the
season are emerging at that time.
Where for some local condition the
first cover spray was applied at some
other date than the one recommended
by this department we advise the ap-
plication to be made within the re-
commended interval time, namely IL
to Is days.

DROVE LOGS
DOWN YAKIMA
) Jackrabbits were Newcom-
ers when Frank Libby
First Came Here

Among the old-timers in the Ken
newlck country, Frank Libby, of
Charleston, Washington, who is here
visiting his nephew, F. H. Lincoln, can
qualify with the oldest of them.
Mr.. Libby beat the railroad here
and was close second to the jack
rabbits. He was pioneer of the 1880
vintage and was employed by the
Northern Pacific railroad company
when that line was built across the
state. He was one of crew of log
drivers whose work it was to float
logs down the Yakima river from the
Cascade mountains to the mouth.
The logs were floated down one by
one to near the mouth where they
were caught by booms and RATED.
From the mouth Of the Yakima the
RATS were driven to the railroad COM
pany's sawmill near the mouth of the
Snake.
Mr.. Libby says he believes he has
waded every foot of the Yakima from
the timber line to its mouth. At that
time the only settlements on either
side was at old Yakima and Ellens-
burg and reclamation of the desert
thru which it flowed was not even
dreamed of.
In those days the nearest trading
point was Wallula. This was reached
from Ainsworth by raft or row boat
From there they could reach Walla
Walla over the old Baker railroad.
For the last 80 years Mr.. Libby has
been employed in the navy yard at
Charleston and this is his first peep
at the Yakima valley since it has been
transformed by reclamation.

wick's but that every citizen in the
county regardless of the place of his
residence is vitality interested in the
success of these great enterprises and
that every citizen should be worker
and booster for these projects. A
short talk was made by A. R. Card
ner.
The audience received with hearty
applause group of songs by Kenne-
wick's quartet composed of Mrs. D.
G. Rodgers, Miss Mary Harvey, R. H.
Briggs and Fred Berg with Miss Be-
atrice Sherk as accompanist. Two
quartet numbers and solos by Mrs.
Rodgers and Miss Harvey were sung.
Leaving White Bluffs the visitors
were me by delegation of Han
ford citizens and escorted to their
town where ball game was played be-
tween the Hanford and Kennewick
teams. Following the game the visitors
were entertained at chicken supper
at the Hanford.
The program here was similar to
that given in White Bluffs. The visit
ing delegations were welcomed by
George Baxter, publisher of the Han
ford Herald, and j. C. Syfford. Re-
sponses were made by several speakers
from Prosser and Kennewick.
All in all the excursion was one of
the most successful community affairs
ever held in the county. Owing to the
fact that Kennewick and Prosser made
the trip on the same day crowded the
program somewhat and did not allow
much time for the visitors to view the
wonderful orchards of the Up-River
country. Prosser had set the date
for their excursion the day following
the Kennewick excursion but at the
request of the Up-River people they
showed their date ahead and joined he
Kennewick people.
In recognition Of their fine work the
Commercial club at its regular meet
ing extended vote Of thanks to Mr..
Plowman and members of his COM
mittee.
