LOOKING BETTER

n S POINTED OUT last week by the
= Courier Reporter whether the
year 1923 is good or bad will be de-
termined largely by local crop and
market conditions. Unless crops are
better and prices of agricultural pro-
ducts higher this year than last, this
community cannot hope for prosper
ity regardless of what may be the
conditions generally turnout the coun-
try.
There is every indication that crops,
especially the fruit crop, will be much
better than last year. Only once have
the apples been hit by disastrous
frost. That once was last year and
it is not probable that Jack Frost
will repeat next spring. If not or
chards of this district should produce
the biggest crop in their history.
With every forecast favorable for
improved business and industrial con-
ditions turnout the nation the out
look for profitable market is much
better than it was a year ago.
There is a note of optimism among
economists and business and finan-
clai experts. All are agreed that the
worst has been passed and 1928 holds
greater promises than did 1922. In
MS special article to the Courier-Re-
porter this week Roger w. Babson
says that while 1923 should not be
looked forward to as boom year,
conditions are on the upgrade all

vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which new all-Ameri-
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes Of super-type would

In many respects, this aeroplane is

the same Curtiss motor used in the

with wing radiators, the most radical

WILL THE PEOPLE RULER

a S THE TIME draws near for the
- new county officers to take their
places, the question of who is going
to be county commissioner from the
Prosser district becomes one of un-
usual interest.
At the general election in Novem-
Der the citizens of the county ex-
pressed their preference for c. E. De-
Bow. By their ballots they said in
no uncertain terms that they did not
wish A. G.. McNeill, who is serving
by appointment, to continue in Of
flee. Yet by reason Of legal tech
nicality McNeill may continue to sit
and the expressed will of the people
be defeated.
In becoming candidate Mr.. DeBow
acted in good faith and the voters
who went to the polls and marked
their ballots for this office acted in
good faith. It was legally and Of
ficially advertised through the pub
ished notices of the county auditor
that Mr.. McNeill's term would ex-
pire. Filing of candidates. were call
ed for and accepted. The nomination
OF Mr.. DeBow was certified and his
name was printed on the official bal
lot. Mr.. McNeill accepted the stu
alton as it was. He announced his
candidacy and solicited votes in both
the primary and general election
campaigns. His candidacy was in
itself an admission that he expected
to abide by the expressed wishes Of
the voters. The voters have told him
they do not want him. Is he going to
abide by this mandate or is he going
to grab at a technicality and hang on (?
This isn't the first time the voters
Of Benton county have told Mr.. Nc
Neil they did not want him as COM
missioner. In 1916 under exactly the
same circumstances as existed at the |
last general election he was voted
out Of office which he held by APP
pointment. He gave up the office !
then because it was not known there
was chance for him to hold on.
If he is true sportsman and a
good politician he will relinquish the
office he now holds so that the other
two commissioners may carry out the
will of the people by appointing De-
Bow as his successor.

PACIFIC COAST CREWS
ARE DECLARED STRONG
BY LAWRENCE PERRY,

From the Pacific coast comes woru
that both the California and
Washington eight-oared crews will
demonstrate in their approaching

than they were last year. If this
proves to be the case so far as the
sweep swingers of Seattle are con-
cerned they will be pretty much on
a par with the unbeatable Navy eight,
which captured the Poughkeepsie
regatta last June, with Washington

Both universities have had boats

January. training hard for the honor
of winning the championship of the
west coast and then of coming on
to Poughkeepsie to represent the
prestige of Pacific aquatics.
In the past two years the west
erRers have done mighty well. In
1921 California finished second to the
Navy and last year Washington was
the runner-up, leaving the members
of the Intercolle giate Rowing ASSo-

vania and Syracuse. to fight it out for
the lower positions.
The showing of Washington on the
Hudson inspired the Yale rowing au-
thorities to select the Seattle coach
and his assistants as coaches at New
Haven and this was a sad loss to
Washington. Rusty Callow, however

now working at the sweeps, divided
among five varsity shells and seven
