COUNTY SEAT
FIGHT ASSURED
Mrs. Carter Reports that Pc
tition Calling Election
is Over Top

There is now no doubt but that the
question Of moving the count yseat
from Prosser to Benton City will
be on the ballot at the November
election. Mrs. Carter of Benton City
reports that the petition asking for
the proposition to be submitted is
now over the top. Signatures con-
siderably in excess of the required
percentage have been secured but
Mrs. Carter has not ceased her labors.
She hopes to put the petition over
the top by at least five hundred names.
To date tMrs. Carter has solicited
no signatures from Kennewick but
has confined her efforts to the rural
districts. In some of the country
precincts she reports the names of
100 per cent of the qualified voters.
In her opinion there will be no great
difficulty in polling the necessary
sixty per cent at the general election.

pany Come to Survey
the Work


|, j. A. Crowford and Allen H. Rey.
snolds, directors and F. Grove, at.
torney, for the Benton Franklin In.
tercounty Bridge company, came from
Walla Walla to Kennewick yesterday
to make survey of the work being
done on the new highway bridge be-
tween here and Pasco. The trip was
made preparatory to the annual meet
ing of stockholders in Walla Walla
today.
The directors expressed themselves
as well pleased with the progress OF
the work especially in view of the
loss of one span of false work by
high waetr.
The steel work is now going for
ward without delay. The bed has
been laid from this side to one of
the mid-stream piers where the tow
ers of the cantilever span is rapidly
going up.
While it is not yet possible to set
a date for the bridge opening Resi-
dent Engineer Bertram Dean believes
it will be possible to put traffic across

HILL ROAD
NEEDS FIXING
Commercial Club VIII Urge
County Commissioners
to Make Repairs

With the exception of stretch OF
500 feet about Ia miles out of Ken.
newick the shortcut road across the
hills to the Columbia Highway by
way of Plymouth and Umatilla is in
good condition. While the natives
have little difficulty in negotiating
this part of the road it has given con.
siderable trouble to tourists and fol
that reason Umatilla has temporarily
stopped routing tourists this way
From this way the road can be trav.
eled without much inconvenience.
The trouble at this place is from 8
sand blow which cannot be overcome
by strawing or sagebrushing. Roac
Supervisor c. E. Duffy accompanied
by a delegation from the Commercial
club visited the bad stretch this
morning and worked out a plan fol
overcoming the blow. This plan will
be submitted to County Commissioner
Pratt with the request that the work
be done without delay as much ira.
vel is offering for this cutoff.
Considerable sagebrushing has beer
done on the road this summer and
for this reason those who travel il
are urged to be careful of fire. Two
fires along the road were reported
this morning by the Commercial club
party. Drivers are cautioned not to
run over the sagebrushed sections
with open cut-outs and to be careful
of lighted matches and cigars and
cigarettes.
VIM. Switzler, owner of the Ply
mouth Umatilla ferry, who was in
Kennewick yesterday, says that traffic
up the Columbia Highway is daily in
creasing and considerable percent
age Of the cars will come to Kenne-
wick by the hill route if the road is
put into better condition.

HOPE TO SAVE
CHERRY CROP
Big Y Expects to Make Cam.
paign to Induce Growers
to Smudge Trees

According to H. w. Desgranges,
local manager of the Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers association the cherry
growers of this distrist might have
averted loss of $4,000 last spring
had they been prepared to smudge.
Regarding the desirability of protect
ing the cherry crop by smudging he
says:
"The cherry season is over and
while the crop was better than ex-
pected, it is now possible to approx
mate the loss, and the sad part is that
this loss may have been averted had
the growers resorted to the use of
smudge pots. This community will
not take this risk another year. The
growers are aware that they cannot
afford it; The Big-Y is giving the
subject of smudging special attention.
The various methods are being in
vestigated and the NOSE successful
system will be adopted. That cherries
can be saved by smudging is proven
by several growers up the Yakima
valley, where full crops are being
harvested, notwithstanding that frost
conditions were worse than here.
There was shipped from here ap-
proximately four cars Of cherries.
Shippers agree that there should have
been TWENTY-FIVE. Conservatively eSti-
mated this represents loss of some
$4,000.
Growers must give serious consider
alton to smudging. The half million
dollar losss to our fruit crop, could in
large part have been avoided, if
proper precaution had been taken.
Every wise business man insures
his property. To be prepared to
smudge is only another method Of in
surance.

Five Aspirants File Declara-
tions of Candidacy
with Auditor
HAMILTON is THE
LONE DEMOCRAT
James Shepard to Contest
Lords Claim to Sheriff
Nomination

Deputy Sheriff w. w. Lord was
the first aspirant for office under
the wire last Friday when the filings
of candidacy opened. Mr.. Lord, who
has been chief deputy under Sheriff
L. c. Rolph, will seek the republican
nomination. He will be opposed by
James Shepard, of White Bluffs. Mr..
Shepard, who was in Kennewick yes
terday, announced that he was on his
way to the county seat where he ex-
poets to declare his candidacy today.

up-river country during the encum-
bancy of c. E. Duffy. Both he and
Mr.. Lord are ex-service men and
active workers in the American Le-
gion.
Ben F. Rupert, who is finishing his
second term as county assessor. has
filed for the office of auditor on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Rupert has
been twice elected as a democrat, but
henceforth declares he intends to be
worker in the ranks of the G. o. p.
S. j. Harrison, who is filling the
unexpired term of f. L. Bash, has
filed for the republican nomination as
commissioner in the first district. To
date he is still alone as there have
been no other filings from either of
the other districts. Alex McNeill,
who succeeded Commissioner French
by appointment, is reported to be in
receptive mood and will probably
become candidate on the democratic
ticket. Commissioners Pratt is serv-
ing his second elective term and is
not eligible for another. r. H. Briggs
who some tine ago announced his in
tention to succeed Mr.. Pratt, has not
filed his candidacy.

ton is all alone on the democratic side
of the ballot. He has filed as can
didate for reelection. He is serving
his second term, but his first was by
appointment.

as republican candidate to succeed
himself.
Representative NJ M. Moulton said
this morning that his filing will be
mailed to the county auditor today.
With the exception Of the represen-
tative, who is elected for two years

elected for two and four year terms,
all county officers this year are to
be elected for four year terms.

PORTABLE BUILDING

After considering various ways and
means of housing Kennewick's stead
lily increasing school population the
board has decided upon the erection
of portable building for the accom-
mediation of one room.
The building will be put up on the
high school campus and will be used
for one of the grades, but as yet no
decision has been made as to which
grade.
The portable building plan was de-
cided upon only after efforts to rent
suitable rooms had failed.

EVERYBODY EVEN
IN TWILIGHT GAME
Married and Single Men Play Tie and
Umpires Break Even-At-
tendance Too Small

Everything at the married and sin
gle mems baseball game yesterday
was all right but the crowd. Most
folks sought their twilight recreation
elsewhere than at the ball grounds
Those who did come out received more
than their four-bits' worth, as the
rivals were very evenly matched or
the field and sidelines.
The final score was an to 8 tie
One of the features of the game was
the shameful manner in which the
fatherly aggregation treated Joe Pet
erson's special brand of curves and
shoots in the seventh. They fell on
Joe for whole nestful of swats and
chased in five runs which gave them
z to 8 lead. In the last of the
eighth, however, the youthful per-
formers took revenge on Jett and
evened the score, while Miller, who
replaced Peterson, held the papas hit
less.
Honors were just about even be-
tween Penny Ferrell and Joe Liebee
who umpired.
The baseball dance at the open air
pavilion in the evening was no better
patronized than was the ball game.
As revenue producers for the ball club
the two affairs did not register very
strongly.
A return game is being arranged to
break the tie.

BRITISH WILL NOT TREAT
U. S. LOANS SEPARATELY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 1.-The British
government cannot treat the repay
ment of the Anglo-American loan as if
it were an isolated incident in which
only the United States and Great
Britain had any concern. says a note
addressed today by the earl OF Balfour,
acting foreign secretar. to France, Italy,
Jugoslayia. Rumania, Portugal and
Greece.
This transaction. continues the
note. is but one of connected series
in which Great Britain appears
sometimes as debtor and sometimes
as a creditor. If. it says, Great
Britain's undoubted obligations as a
debtor are to be enforced. her not
less undoubted rights as a creditor
cannot be left wholly in allegiance.
The policy favored by his majesty,
the note states. is that of surrender
ing Great Britain's share of German
reparations and writing off through one
great transaction, the whole body of
interallied Indebtedness.
