FIRST BROOD OF
WORMS HATCHING
Horticulturalist Says Next Spray
Should be on Not Later than
June Sixteenth


District Horticulturalist Hill warns
the apple growers not to relax their
vigilance in fighting the Cooling moth.
He reports that in the Kennewick
district the worms are Matching out in
large numbers. He estimates that
the peak of the first brood will be
reached between the 18th and 10th
of the month. At the Spresent time
the fruit should be well covered with
spray and another spray should be
completed not later than June 16. This
should be sufficient for the first brood
of worms.
The second brood will be Matching
about July 10 and it will probably be
necessary to have the first spray COM
pleted from the 9Th to the 10th. A
later notice will be issued by Mr.
Hill on the second brood.

POWER COMPANY
WANTS PERMIT
Pacific Power & Light Com
pany Asks City for New
5O-Year Franchise

L. A. Stafford, local manager OF
the Pacific Power & Light company,
appeared before the city council Tues
day evening and asked for 50-year
light and power franchise for the
Inland Power & Light company. Mr..
Stafford explained that the Inland
company is temporary corporation
organized by the p. p. & L. company
for the purpose of putting thru the
Kennewick- Umatilla power line and
other extensions which could not be
undertaken by the parent company at
this time owing to the status of its
outstanding bonds. 1t is the inten-
ton later to transfer all of the hold
ings to the p. p. & L. and discontinue
the new company.
This means that the question before
the council is really an extension of
the P. p. & L. company's present
franchise which expires in 1881. Of
ficials of the company claim that it
is necessary to adequately finance the
company's operations by means of
bond issues. The company has re-
Gently secured new 50-year franchises
in the majority of towns in which it
operates.
In the main the provisions of the
new franchise are the same as those
of the old one. 1t gives the P. P. &
L. company no exclusive rights in
the city and has nothing to do with
the fixing of light or power rates, as
the question of rates comes under
the supervision of the state depart
ment of public works. No request is
made for new water franchise.
Mr.. Stafford pointed out that Ken
newick and Pasco are. more and more
becoming the hub of the P. P. & l..
company's transmission lines. When
the new extensions have been COM
pleted the Walla Walla-Lewiston line,
the Lind line, which connects with the
Washington Water Power company's
lines, the Priest Rapids Yakima line,
