NEW AUTO ROUTE
FROM WENATCHEE
Opening of New Road Between Van
tage Ferry and Beverly Makes
Going Much Easier

j. o. Maupin last week made trip
to Wenatchee over the new road which
has just been completed between Van
tage Ferry and Beverly. He reports
that the trip from here to Wenatchee
can now easily be made in seven hours
with good roads excepting three miles
the graveling of which is soon to be
started by Grant county.
The new route up the river crosses
the Columbia at Wahluke ferry above
White Bluffs and keeps to the other
side of the river to the Columbia fer
ry. The distance from Kennewick to
Wenatchee by this route as shown
by Mr.. Maupin's car is 146 miles. He
predicts that there will be much tra-
vel over this route this summer.
The White Bluffs Commercial club
is making plans for an automobile
excursion to be run over the new road
with cars from all towns between
Kennewick and Wenatchee. This trip
will be made later this month or early
in May.

Mercury Drops to Twenty
Nine but Growers Re-
port No Damage

The first frost warning of the year
was "broadcasted" Monday morning
over the Kennewick Valley Telephone
company's lines to all soft-fruit grow
ers who have requested the service.
The warning which was relayed from
the Walla Walla weather bureau thru
local Observer Spiegelberg, was re-
ceived about 2:30 a. m. and within half
an hour smudge pots were burning
in every part Of the orchard district.
The minimum temperature for the
morning was 20 degrees and orchard
lists report absolutely no damage even
where there was no smudging.
To supplement the warning arrange.
ments Of the Walla Walla and local
weather stations, Mayor H. w. Des-
oranges has had a tested thermometer
installed near the police station. On
clear nights Policeman C. E. Copeland
will keep close watch and should the
thermometer drop unexpectedly he will
notify central and a general alarm
will be sent out.
In addition to the general warning
the management Of the Big Y has
worked out special call for its MEM
ibers. This service, however, will be
extended to all growers who request

KENNEWICK is
CHEWED BY BEARS
WaIla Walla Bruins Romp Around
Bases for % Runs while the
Locals Get Only


The Walla Walla team Of the Blue
Mountain League was given some ex-
cellent batting and base-running prac-
tice in the second game Of the series
here Sunday. The local boys did their
best but their best was to Hold the
Bears down to % hits and % runs,
while Joe Hickey slammed out two
long drives and scored Kennewick's 8
two lone runs.
Ragged is the best that can be said
for the playing of the local team.
Burgh pitched the first six innings
and Yedica finished. Paris was in
the box for the visitors.
A movement has been started by
local fans to strengthen the Kenne-
wick lineup and it may be far diff
ferent team that goes to Pendleton
Sunday. An effort is being made to
get Evett back at third, Chief Griffin
at second and new man at short.
The six teams in the league are
now tied-three up and three down.
Walla Walla, Pendleton and Pasco
have each won two games and Ken
newick, Echo and Milton-Freewater
have lost two each.

Gle Elum Team Defeated 17-10-Play
Pasco Across River Friday

The Gle Elum high school nine was
easily swamped 17-1O by the Kenne-
wick baseballers Friday. From the

til the seventh inning when he was re-
lieved by Woods.
The local Hi athletes showed much
Improvement over the bout with Fin

made by local players. But four
marked the Gle Elum-K. H. S. contest.

HI PUPILS HIKE;
THEN COME BACK
Painting Class Numerals on Chimney
Leads. to Clash with High
School Principal

The Kennewick High school was pu-
pilless for a short time Wednesday
morning as the result of misunder-
standing between members of the up
per classes and Principal j. c. Staley.
The trouble grew out Of the rivalry
of the classes to decorate the school
house chimney with their class num-
erals.
The seniors started things by paint
ing '23 high up on the smoke stack.
They were ordered to paint out the
twenty-three and the following MORN
ing the numerals of the three upper
classes adorned the chimney. Hos
tilities came to a climax Wednesday
morning when eight of the boys were
suspended by the principal. There
upon the senior class walked out and
the rest Of the school followed them.
The walkout, however, was of short
duration. A truce was declared,
council held and an armistice signed.

GLUCK SPRINGS
NEW METHOD
He Will Accept Checks and
Hold Them Until Money
is in the Bank

E. M. Gluck, Kennewick's Shoe
Man, is not much of fellow to give
heed to precedents, conventions or
customs. He has some very original
and some very unique ideas. Several
months ago he set the people talking
with an advertisement in which he
said shoppers were not wanted in his
store; that all shoes looked about
alike; that his business was to sell
shoes and not to wait on people who
came ''to look at Shoes"
In his advertisement on page four
of this issue he springs a new one.
He announces that he is running in
the face of the times and offers to
accept post-dated checks in payment
for shoes and to hold those checks
without interest, if need be, for a
year. In view of the fact that the
merchandising of Kennewick is prac-
tically on cash basis this announce
ment is comparable with some of Hen
ry Ford's business precedents.
Gluck doesn't stop with post dated
checks. He announces that in the fu-
ture ten per- cent of all of his sales
will be donated to city hospital fund
and the donation will continue as long
as he is in business in Kennewick.

Mrs. Bert Meyers Seriously
Hurt by Her Brother-in-
Law w. E. Reynolds
YOUTH is NEEDLESS
OF WOMAN'S WARNING
Snaps One Pistol in Own
Mouth to Prove its
Harmlessness

Mrs. Bert Meyers was seriously,
perhaps fatally, wounded Monday af-
ternoon when her body was pierced
by bullet from an "unloaded" re-
volver in the hands of her brother-in-
law, w. E. Reynolds.
According to the story told by the
injured woman after she had been
brought from her home in the Garden
Tracts to the offices of DR.. A. G. Tul-
lar, Reynolds, a youth of 10, was
playing with two S2-calibre revolvers.
With gun in each hand he was
twirling them around his fingers. She
demonstrated with him and asked him
to put the guns aside, saying they
made her nervous. To show her the
guns were not loaded Reynolds placed
the muzzle of one in his mouth and
pulled the trigger. Mrs. Meyers then
picked up her baby and went into an
adjoining room. The youth followed
and continued to tease her by toying
with the guns. To prove that the
other gun was not loaded he pointed it
at her and fired.
The bullet entered the abdomen at
the pit Of the stomach and came out
in the back, missing by less than an
inch both the aorta and the spinal
column.
DR.. Tullar said today that while
the wound is of serious nature, the
woman has a chance for recovery. His
worst fears are of complications due
to puncture of the pancreas.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyers have not made
their home in Kennewick long, having
only recently come here from Idaho.
At the present time he is employed
by the Edwards-Fyfe company. Rey-
nolds and his father are farming the
Layson place on the River Road.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF BASIN LEAGUE
Large Crowd is Expected to Attend
Columbia Basin Project Gath
ering in Pasco

Trustees of the Columbia Basin Ir-
rigation League at their meeting in
Spokane April 5, decided to call the
annual meeting of the League on the
birthday of the organization, April

friend of the project, every CONNER
cial organization in the four north

Last year the first convention
brought an attendance of 52s. League
trustees confidently expect an at
tendance of 1000 this year.
Pasco has extended both formal and
informal invitations for the meeting
and the citizens there promise every
facility to expedit ebusiness.
The trustees wish to impress upon
every friend of the project that this
will be the most important meeting in
the history of the organization. The
unexpected progress made. at Wash
ington, during which the bill author.
izing federal investigation of the pro-
ject, was showed thru year before
there was any expectation, makes it
imperative that full advantage be
taken of the situation this year.
The opportunity to hold the advan-
q q
ually presented in the investigation
by the federal engineers who are now
en- route.
Senators, congressman, governors,
federal and state officials from the
four northwestern states will be es-
pecially invited and as all of them are
enthused over the project, the meet
ing is assured of number of brilliant
addresses.

KING TUT PUNCH

1t is not recorded whether or not
King Tut was a drinking man, but
even tho he were prohibitionist he
could not possibly object to his name
being used on the label of delight
fully refreshing drink. At least the
Church Mfg. Co. is Of that opinion and
they have named their newest soft
drink, which is finely blended mix
ture Of fruit jules, King Tut Punch.
The new drink is advertised as very
"rich and elaborate" and good enough
for any Egyptian kings table.
