MARKET PLAN
GOES FORWARD
Progress is Being Made by
New Kennewick Rich
land Association

According to those in charge OF the
campaign satisfactory progress is be-
ing made toward perfecting the or
ganization of the Kennewick- -Richland
Growers association.
Before this association can begin
business under the terms of the mar
keting contract 85 per cent Of the
strawberry, asparagus and early po-
tato acreage must be tied up on the
six-year marketing agreement.
The plan of organization was sub
mitted to a meeting of growers at
the Valley Club house last evening
and Saturday night Of this week the
regular meeting of the Finley Grange
is to be thrown open for discussion
of the marketing contract. Attend
ance at this meeting is not limited to
grange members, but all farmers who
are interested in the cooperative mar
keting movement are urged to be
present.

SOU'WESTER
is WELCOME
Chinook Brings Joy to Resi-
dents but Fear to the
Bridge Builders.

It's here. The chinook. 1t ar
rived during the early hours of last
night when a hesitant west breeze
whipped up into welcome sou'wester
and officially proclaimed the end Of
one Of the longest cold snaps on re-
cord in this district.
With only scant covering Of snow
thruout the valley there is little ikli-
hood of the sudden thaw's bringing
high water, but grave concern is felt
for Yakima and Columbia river
bridges from ice jams. The gravest
danger is at the site of the new high
way bridge between here and Pasco
where all but the mid channel is
spanned by false work.
In anticipation of ice trouble the
Union Bridge company has ordered
large quantities Of dynamite and will
make every effort to keep the ice
broken up and the channel open. Sim
liar precautions have been taken at
the O-W. bridge near Hedges where
ice blasting has been in progress dur
ing the day.
Thenchinook leaves the winters low
,recor4 at eight below zero. Temper
atures for the week follow:

DRY FIGHT IS
NOT YET WON
Anti-Saloon League Speaker
Says Vets May Control
Next Congress

A large crowd was at the NJ. e.
tabernacle Friday evening to hear
Capt. F. B. Ebbert, associate general
counsel for the anti-saloon league.
The speaker left no doubt in the
minds of his hearers that there is at
the present time plenty law on the
booze question enough law, in fact,
to put every moonshiner and bootleg
ger in prison. He showed that the
volstead act has teeth in it and that
these teeth were made sharper by the
recent anti-beer amendment.
He declared that experience con-
vinced him that 80 per cent Of the Of
ficers, charged with prohibition law
enforcement, are honest and ready
to do their duty, and that every COM
munity is as dry or wet as the people
of that community want it. He cred
tied lax enforcement to the indiffer-
ence of the general public, and urged
that the proponents Of prohibition be-
come more alert and active.
Good citizenship, ne said, imposed
upon every person the duty to report
every violation of the law Of which
he has knowledge However, he
warned against harrassing the offic-
ers with rumors Of violation.
The fight Of the prohibitionists to-
day, Capt. Ebbert said. is to prevent
the repeal or the amendment Of the

LEGION DANCE
AT CLUB HOUSE
Robert w. Ely Boys Hope to
Raise Money to Purchase
Post Banner

An American Legion benefit dance
will be given by the Highland I'm
provement club at the new club house
Saturday evening of this week.
Proceeds from the dance will be
used by Robert w. Ely post for the
purchase Of post banner. The local
post is one Of the few in the state
that does not have its own colors and
on several occasions local legionairres
have felt embarrassed by reason Of
this fact. The posts Of Benton and
Franklin counties will assemble in
Pasco February % for the observ-
ance Of Washington's birthday. Ev-
cry other post in the district has its
own banner and the Kennewick boys
hope to be able to purchase one b.
fore that date.
One of the house rules Of the High
lands Improvement club is that the
club house will not be rented to or
ganizations or individuals for money
making purposes. However, the club
is under obligations to the legionaires
who cancelled their New Years dane
ing date on account of the club op-
ening. In return for this courtesy
the Improvement club is permitting
Saturday nights dance to be given
under the legion auspices.
A similar arrangement will be car
ried out with the Kennewick Womans
club February IL when they give
their annual dance and card party for
the benefit Of the library. The club
originally planned to use the K. Of p.
and Legion halls but the committee
in charge decided in favor Of the club
house.

ssY" GROWERS
FAVOR PLANT
Central Association Votes to
Build Cold Storage Plant
in Kennewick

The annual meeting Of the Yakima
Fruit Growers association was held
at Yakima Tuesday.
The meeting was one Of special in
terest to Kennewick and Kennewick
fruit growers. Upon its action de-
pended the success or failure Of the
contemplated cold storage plant for
Kennewick. Manager Swigart's re-
commentator that the construction
Of cold storage plant at Kennewick
be one Of the improvements under
taken by the association this season,
was adopted without dissenting
vote. The association recognized the
fact that a cold storage plant at Ken
newick is not local institution only
but will serve the needs Of the entire
valley when needed and that the ma
jor part of the financial burden should
be born by them. It is now up to
Kennewick growers to do their part
and this much-needed institution is as
sured. This is an opportunity for CO.
operation to demonstrate its effec-
,tiveness.
Local Manager Desgranges, who at
tended the meeting says: "Our cold
storage plant is assured. I have no
doubt but that our growers will meet
their quota Of the subscription to the
bonds and that is all that stands In
the way Of actual construction. We
are only asked to subscribe for one
fourth of the cost Of the plant. The
terms are so attractive that the sub
scriptions amount to but little more
than the actual saving on storage that
can be made. Surely the growers are
not foolish enough to let this oppor-
tunity slip by"

Volstead act. He predicted that the
eighteenth amendment was in the con-
stitution for all time, but said that
there is grave danger that the en-
forcement act will be amended so as
to permit of the sale of beer and other
beverages containing, as much as five
per cent alcohol. The brewery in
terests, he said, are making the fight
of their lives to send a wet majority
to the next congress. To carry on
the prohibition fight he called for s.
year financial pledges to the Anti
Saloon league. -..
The school flag contest conducted
in connection with the meeting was
won by the Washington school.

CITY TO START WORK
SOON ON PEST HOUSE
Place of Isolation to be Built on Lots
Owned by the County-On
Mob Hill Probably

When the city checked up its bank
account at the close of the year, il
was found that with hardly an ex-
ception, the different departments
had carried on their work and kept
their expenditures below the annual
budget.
As a result the city has on hand
sufficient funds, with the aid of the
county, to erect a pest house, the need
of which has been forcibly emphasiz-
ed during the winter.
The house will be built on property
to which the county has acquired title
by tax sales. The exact location has
not yet been determined but it will
probably be in the Mob Hill district.
Work on the house will start just
as soon as the weather will permit,
said Mayor Desgranges today.

Newly Made Still and Mash
Found in Shack of Ste
vens Brothers .-E
TRANSGRESSORS MAKE
PLEA OF DESTITUTION
Art Collins Sent to County
Jail for Peddling Booze
at Club House

As a result of two weekend raids
by local police officials two self-con-
fessed moonshiners and one bootleg
ger are serving sentences in jail.
Chief Of Police Jack Dale and De-
putty Sheriff c. E. Copeland, accom-
panied by HI. w. Desgranges Friday
afternoon raided the home of Wesley
Stevens on Maple street just east Of
the Columbia garage. The raid net
ted copper still Of local manufac-
ture, quantity Of corn and rye mash
and bottle of moonshine whiskey.
Wesley Stevens and his brother j. w.
Stevens were placed under arrest.
The two men We're brought before
Police Judge Staser on a charge Of
having violated the city prohibition
ordinance. They pleaded guilty and
were fined 500 each, the limit under
the city ordinance. Unable to pay the
fines, they were taken to the city jail.
The still was new and the two men
claimed they had not yet used it but
were preparing to cook their first
'batch" the evening of the raid. The
raid was made upon evidence furnish
ed by John Eichner Of the Kennewick
Tin Shop, who made the still.
Saturday night Deputy Copeland
and Chief Dale answered telephone
call to the Highland club house where
the Highland Womans club dance was
in progress.
Members of the Improvement club,
who have pledged themselves to
stamp out the booze menace at the
club house dances, informed the Of
ficers that bootlegging was in pro-
gress about the grounds. The Of
ficers hid and before long they caught
the bootlegger and customer in the
act of making transaction. The
two men were placed under arrest.
The salesman was Art Collins and the
purchaser David Luke.
Following his arrest Collins took
the officers to his cache in nearby
orchard and surrendered four pint
beer bottles of moonshine whiskey.
In Justice Staser's court Monday
afternoon Collins pleaded guilty to a
violation of the state law and SEN
tence of $3.50 fine and go days in the
county Jail was imposed. He was
unable to pay his fine and was taken
to Prosser the following day.
Necessity knows no law"-want,
poverty-was the defense of the trans
gressors in both these cases. Wesley
Stevens, in whose shack the still was
found, has wife, an 8-year-old daugh-
ter and an aged and invalid mother,
who recently became county charge.
Stevens testified that he had been
out of employment for months and
that his family was destitute. I'm
able to secure work he had hoped to
keep the wolf from the door by the
sale of moonshine liquor. His story
of want was verified by the officers
and the wife and child are being cared
for by the city.
Collins, who is a day laborer out
of employment, admitted that the
whiskey he was peddling was not his
and that all he was to get out of the
sale was a pair of shoes. He stead
fastly refused, however, to divulge
the name Of the man for whomshe was
the goat.
Collins story is believed by the Of
ficers who are quietly working on
clues which they believe will lead
them to the real source of the con-
fiscated moonshine.

- VALLEY DAIRYMEsN
r1;rectors Ask Farmers to
Allow Deductions from
Cream Checks

penorts submitted to the stockhoid-
!, tuesday afternoon at their annual
-..t;ng revealed the fact that unless
~ frances Of the Kennewlck Co
n,rr.tiye creamery company can be
h.l,tsred up it must very soon cease
b operate.
while the financial campaign made
l.st fsll afforded temporary relief,
- money raised was not sufficient
g enable the company to retire its
seeounts payable and leave a balance
fcr working capital.
Athe present time the creamery is
hing crowded by its creditors and it
~ sustained heavy losses during the
l,st Two months on account of a sud-
n ,lump in the butter market. The
a,amery has been endeavoring to pay
eaah to the farmers for cream and has
b,en selling it's product on thirty to
si1ty days time. With the present
volume Of business to do this it must
have surplus Of between $4,000 and
5000. This it hasn't got.
10 supply this surplus and to raise
enough money to retire some Of the
nat pressing obligations is the task
which the new board Of directors will
undertake.
In the campaign last fall the busi-
ness man subscribed literally and it is
I thought no further help can, be ex-
pected from this source.
Altar I careful consideration Of all
&s facts the newly elected board Of
dsctors have come to the conclu-
dm that il the creamery is to be
avsd the dairymen must save it.
ny have brought forward the pro-
pcaitcn that those who sell their

Agreement to permit a ten per cent

County Recorders AssOcia ton Will
 Meet in NOgaIes

According to an announcement made yesterday by l.. H. Hutchinson, county recorder of Cochise county and secretary of the State Associa- tion of Recorders, then annual con vention of the association will be held in Nogales on March 9, 10 and II. The session will close with a banquet on Saturday night, March II.
 One of the most important ques- tions to be considered by the record CTS at their annual meeting will be that of registration of voters for the coming state election. Miss Edith NJ. Jacobs, county recorder of Maricopa county, has asked w. J. Galbraith, attorney general, to give an opinion on the question of changing party af- filiatio1 after the voter has once reg istered. Galbraith has advised Miss Jacobs he will give a ruling on the question in the next few days in or der that the matter can be taken up at the annual meeting.
 The law governing the registration of voters has been construed differ ently by each of the recorders in the uast with the result that the registra- tio1 of voters is not uniform over the state. Especially is this true of the changing of party utilization. some of the recorders permitting the registrant to change his party after he has once registered and others ruling that the change could not be made.
 Other matters pertaining to the work of the recorders will be dis cussed at the session.
