FIRE FIGHTERS
EARLY RISERS
Members of Volunteer De-
partment Make Two Early
Morning Calls

Twice within a week Kennewick
fire boys have been routed out of bed
by early morning biazes.
At five o'clock Friday morning a
call came from the farm of Ed Sell
lick & Sons, down the valley, where
two sections of modern poultry plant
and about 1900 baby chix were burn
ed. The fire had been brought well
under control by bucket brigade by
the time the department arrived and
the work was soon finished after the
truck was brought into action.
The second run was made at four
o'clock Tuesday morning when the
Shoe Hospital on Washington stree.
was Quilted by fire. It is not known
how the fire originated as it WAS not
discovered until after there was a
gasoline explosion and the whole in
terror of the small frame building was
a mass of flame. By the time the
hose was brought into play the fire
had spread to the two frame b1ild-
ings to the north, one occupied by
j ". Thompson, sign painter, and the
other vacant. The Shoe Hospital
building was damaged beyond repair
but the other two were not greatly
damaged.
Harve Hendricks, proprietor, had
only recently installed new power
shoe repairing machine, which to-
gether with other equipment, will be
practically total loss, only partially
covered by insurance. The buildings
were owned by Chas. Conway.

FIREMEN'S BENEFIT
BASEBALL SUNDAY
Joe Martins Colts will Romp with
Benton City and Firemen
Will Get Money

If you were a member of the vol
unteer fire department, you would
want to carry accident insurance,
wouldn't you? Of course you would.
You wouldn't wish to dig into your
own pocket to pay the premium on
the insurance, wouldn't you? Of course
you wouldn't.
Kennewick's fire boys feel about this
matter just as you would feel. The
city hasn't the funds to pay for the
accident insurance, which costs about
$4O0 year, and there isn't enough
money in the departments treasury
to pay this years premium. That's
why the fire boys have arranged a
benefit baseball game for Sunday af-
ternoon.
The game will be played at 2:30
between Joe Martins Colts and the
Benton City team. 1t will probably
be the only real baseball game played
in Kennewick this year. If you can't
attend, buy ticket anyway.

rettaz in view of the fact that he had
already been offered the principalship.
Mr.. Fraser, however, .contended that
1t was never his intention to make Mr..
ueretaz principal but to have him take
over some of the former duties of Mr..
Staley and Mr.. Eidall and to continue
as teacher of science, and that in eff
fering him the principalship Mr.. Smith
had exceeded the authority delegated
to him by the board. In reply to this
accusation Mr.. Smith rendered his res
lgnation. The offer to continue in his
former capacity was declined by Mr..
Guerretaz.

but one motive in making the trip
to become better acquainted with
their neighbors. He emphasized the
desirability for cooperation between
the communities Of the Yakima val

of all communities. A. r. Gardner
responded briefly for the Kennewick
club.

Richland and on the return trip stops

BERRY CROP
is WINNER
Cool Weather Puts Size into
Berries and Helps Labor
Situation

In spite of cool weather, by the end
of this week as many full carloads of
Strawberries will have been set roll
ing, as were shipped out of this dis
trict last year. The 3-Rivers Growers
shipped the first car Monday when
more than a thousand crates were re-
ceived. Another car went out Tues
day. There was no car shipment yes
terday, but even at the present rate
of ripening there will be at least one
full car out each day during the re-
mainder of the week. So far no cars
have been sent to the Coast markets
which are overstocked with California
berries. The car lot shipments have
been made to Great Falls and Havre,
Montana, Spokane and Calgary.
Northwest growers are doing their
best to clean up California stocks and
the market is showing stronger ten
denotes than at this time last week.
The ASSOCIATION is holding its price
at $3.50 crate and the demand is
increasing at this figure.
Cooler weather has worked to the
advantage Of the grower as it has
enabled him to meet the labor short
age which threatened week ago.
Pickers have been drifting in daily
from all parts of the Northwest and
it was reported today that with few
exceptions the growers have ample
crews to handle the crop unless the
weather turns unusually hot. q
With the vines untouched by frost
and cool ripening weather practically
every patch in the district is turning
off berries Of wonderful quality. Most
of the pickings are running almost
entirely to extra fancy.
Geo. d. Peters, manager of the Ken
newick Supply & Storage company,
which is supplying most of the grow
ers with crates, says he has raised
his estimate Of the crop on this side
of the river from $4,000 to As, 600
crates
