WORD COMES
FROM SIBERIA
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams Re
ceive Reassuring Mes
sage from Daughter

Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Williams were
made happy today by the receipt of
q night letter from their daughter
Mrs. j. A. McLaren, who with her
husband has been in Anadyr, Siberia
for three years. The letter was sent
from Nome, Alaska. It briefly stated
that both she and Mr.. McLaren are
well.
This is the first communication OF
any kind which Mrs. McLaren's par
entsa had received from her since last
September. 1t is exceptionally good
news in view of recent press dis
patches recounting the i'll treatment
which Americans and other foreigners
in Siberia have received at the hands
Of the Soviet government.
While the brief message is indefi
mite, Mr.. and Mrs. Williams are of
the opinion that their daughter is in
Nome, but only temporarily, as it was
their intention to remain another
year in Siberia.
Mrs. McLaren, formerly Miss Kath
ryn Williams, made her home. with
her parents here for a number of
years and was q former teacher in
the local schools.

PROSSER DEFEATS
LOCAL ALL STARS

County Seaters Come Down and Grab
Victory on Kitty Ball Diamond
Kennewick this evening was given
an opportunity to find out just how,
much, or how little, they know about
Kitty ball in comparison with other
towns where the game is played,
when team picked from the four
local teams met team similarly
nicked from the Prosser league.
In nine snappy innings the County
Seaters won to 2. Kennewick lost
the game in the first two innin@s
when fielding errors were responsible
for all of the visitors scores.
After the local bunch settled down
and began to play ball they issued
string of seven goose eggs.

BOOBY PRIZE
Johnsonians and Smithies in
Cellar - Last Game
is Friday

The last game of the present kitty
ball series will be played Friday eve
ming when the Saffordites and the
Gascoigners clash in the final strug
gle. While the outcome of this game
cannot change the relative standing
of the four teams it will be bitterly
contested for the Gascoigners are de
termined to demonstrate to the fans
that their former victory over the
league leaders was no accident. The
runnersup will be handicapped by the
absence of Captain Gascoigne who is
recovering from tonsil operation.
The game last evening between the
Johnsonians and the Smithies defin
itely decided that BOBBY honors are
even between these two teams. The
Johnsonians won to which brought
their nearest competitors down in the
cellar with them. The Gascoigners
boosted their average Friday night
when they again triumphed over the
Smithies.
In Monday evenings game the SAT
fordites overcame the four run lead
and defeated the Johnsonians 10 to 9.
The game was finished in semi dark
ness and Safford's bunch were given
only i've times to bat to their oppon
ent's seven.
q Az
Plans are now under way for the
arrangement of another schedule to
continue at least thru the month OF
August. 1t has not been decided
whether the same teams will continue
or whether there will be complete
reorganization.

Organization Started Here
in June Receives Strong
Support .
THREE WEEKS WORK
GETS IN SIS, 900 TONS
Yakima Bankers Say Cap
able Management is Most
Important Thing

The Northwest Hay association
which is the outgrowth of a mas
meeting of growers of Washington
and Oregon held in this city June 4
received decided forward impetus
Friday when the Yakima Clearing
House association, representing all OF
the Yakima banks, Endorsed it. The
only reservation made by the bankers
in pledging their support is that the
association be organized and operated
under high class and proper manage
ment. Similar endorsements have
been made by bankers thruout the
hay growing districts.
The action of the Clearing House
association was announced by He.
Lucas, president of the Yakima Trust
company.
81 have always believed in and
been interested in cooperative organ
izations among farmers" says MIR,
Lucas, 'but the main thing in every
instance after they have signed is TO
get a real board of directors and "A,
capable manager. 1t is more impCrf
ant that the manager be a business
man who knows how TO handle deals
than to know about raising hay.
"Every farmer who grows hay
should sign up for this association
and every banker and business man
in the valley ought to back it aip-
One reason that the business men
have not taken action before is that
the farmers have not asked them TO.
There ought to be a merchant and %
banker or other business man on the
board of directors. Selling hay IS a
business proposition purely, Farmers
who join the association should not
expect too much for the first year and
that is one reason why the contract
is made for five years, which, ] be
lieve is a good thing"
Lee M. Lampson local member OF
the territory and will be rushed with
who attended meeting of the com
mittee in Yakima Saturday, says most
satisfactory progress is being nade-
A check Of the work Saturday showed
that $4,000 tons of hay have been
signed up in three weeks. BE says
good progress is being made with the
sign up campaign in the Kennewick
and Rchland districts.
The second cutting of hay will m
terfere with the campaign during the
next week in a few sections, but work
will be concentrated in others where
hay is out of the way. Farm con
ditions in Kittitas county make pos
sble an intensified campaign in that
section which will be nut on this
week. 1t is expected that this cam
paign will be practically closed dur
ing this period.
The following week the general
campaign will get under way in all
the territory and will be rused with
all possible speed. No o-nosition SO
far has been encountered except by a
very few hay dealers and some two
or three bankers who are associated
with hay operators.

The Kennewick men discussed with

shown friendly attitude toward it.
He was unable to make any specific
promises as to how soon it's construc
tion will be undertaken. He says,
however, the general outlook for re
clamation is favorable. Conditions on
the government projects Of the North
west SO far visited are ahead OF what
thew were last year while heavier
federal collections and oil receipts
have resulted in an available con
struction fund Of $12,O0O.OOO for the
coming year.

INJUNCTION HA[TS
ALLEY CLOSING ACT
ENFORCEMENT HERE
Norment and Lockwood Win
on Ground Property Has
Sewer and Water.

Justice Bailey of the District SUI
preme Court today granted an in
junction against the District Com
missioners to prevent the putting into
operation of the so-called alley-clos-
ing law of September 25. 1914. which
was to go into effect June l. 1923.
The court holds there is nothing in
the statute which prohibits the use
of property bordering on an alley
where the alley is supplied with
sewer. water main and gas lights. and
it would be forced construction of
the statute to apply this provision
to the premises rather than to the
alley in the face of the plain Ian
guage of the statute.
While the court does not state it's
position on the view of the law taken
by Corporation Counsel Stephens that
the act does not apply to any alley I'M
less all the three conditions men
toned in the act are absent. IT Is
understood that he shares that view.
The language of the act prohibits
the use as dwellings of all buildings
situated in alleys of the District,
