SUE RAILROAD
FOR DAMAGES
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Brough-
ton Ask Fifty Thousand
for Death of Son

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Broughton, of
this city have brought suit against
the O-W.R.&.N. company to collect
damages in the sum of $4,000 for
the death of their son Ted. The COM
plant was filed in the superior court
yesterday by Phil G. Warnock, attor-
ney for plaintiffs.
Young Broughton lost his life by
drowning in the Columbia river May
10 when he fell from the new rail-
way bridge under construction five
miles below this city.
The complaint alleges that Ted was
called upon to tear down scaffold
which he had no part in building; that
the scaffold, which was suspended
from the floor Of the old bridge, had
been so constructed as to destroy the
natural perpendicular of gravity and
that when the last cross tie was re-
moved the main support upon which
Broughton was standing swung back
into natural alignment and precipi-
tated Broughton into the river.

CLUB TO TALK
WITH FARMERS
Effort will be Made to As
sist Growers to Get
Crop Settlements

Because of the numerous COM
plants of fruit growers that they are
unable to get satisfactory settlements
for fruit sold on cash basis to some
of the firms operating here, the Com
mercial club has called meeting for
two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Octo-
ber 9 in the Liberty Theatre.
All growers who feel that they
have not received fair treatment on
this years transactions or believe
that the Commercial club can in any
way assist them, either in getting
settlements for fruit already sold or
marketing their later crops, are in
vited to attend this meeting and sub
nit their problems.
81 do not know that there is any
thing the club can do for the farm
er in this, respect, but we are willing
to try" said Secretary Crawford in
announcing the meeting. "If the
growers can suggest any practical
plan and will give US their coopera-
ton we are ready to go. This call
is not limited to Kennewick growers
but to all who market thru Kenne-
wick, including the district from Rich
land to Hover"

Delegation Of Hermiston
Farmers and Business
Men are Coming
SEEK INFORMATION
ABOUT EARLY CROPS
Kennewick Men Asked to
Join them at Luncheon
at Christian Church

Seventy-five farmers and members
of the Hermiston Commercial club
will come to Kennewick next We'd
neday to investigate farming and
marketing methods in this district.
This excursion has been worked up by
the county agent of Umatilla county
and the secretary of the Hermiston
club who visited Kennewick several
weeks ago.
Sixty thousand acres of new lands
are being put under irrigation on the
Umatilla project and the people of
that district hope to get started right
by growing the right kind of crop.
An effort will be made to specialize
in early crops which have been so
successfully grown here. Soil and
climatic conditions on the UmatilIa
project are similar to those of this
district and the crop seasons are prac-
tically the same. For this reason the
Oregon farmers propose either to
ask for membership in the Three Riv-
ers Growers association or form an
association of their own and affiliate
with the one here.
During their stay here the Oregon
visitors will be the guests of the Ken
newick Commercial club and the man
lagement of the Three Rivers Growers.
They are due to arrive here at ten
o'clock. They will be taken around
the countryside with short stops at
several farms where they will be
shown orchards, asparagus and straw
berry patches and potato and corn
lands.
At noon luncheon will be served
in the basement of the Christian
church. Secretary Crawford wishes
to have at least 25 local farmers and
business men present at this luncheon.

FIRE PREVENTION

The week of October z to 13 is to
be observed thruout the state as Fire
Prevention week. Chief w. l.. Marsh
of the Kennewick Fire department
says the best way for Kennewick
folk to observe it is to make sure
that chimneys are clean, that stoves
are properly put up, that all rubbish
has been removed from furnace rooms
before fall fires are lighted, and to
rake up and burn all dry grass and
weeds around their places.

WATER STOPS
FIFTEENTH
Short Shutdown Rendered
Necessary to Kill the
Moss and Weeds

In announcing another weed-killing
shutdown of the irrigation system,
Manager w. C. Muldrow of the Co.
lumbia district says:
Water was turned off today to kill
the green moss and weeds in the
canals. The manager had hoped to
carry on till the end of the season,
but the moss conditions on the lower
bitches developed to such a serious
point that another turnout was the
only thing to do. Only about one
half the users are now using water
at all and the weather is such that
little loss can result to anyone. The
water will be on again Sunday.
1t has been determined to turn out
the water for the season on October
Is, if the weather conditions will al
low. 1t is a big advantage to the dis
trict to get as much work done on
the bitches as possible in the fall
as it saves the spring rush that Of
ten results in getting the water start
ed little late. Work on the upper
main canal was light last year and
more must be done this season
Those who wish to work their teams
on the bitches this year are request
ed to advise the office as to when
they will be available and how they
can be reached, by phone, if possible
1t should be possible to begin work
between Oct. 25 and Nov. / and the
work will probably be available all
the time that the weather will per-
NIT until spring.
The last meeting of the board of
equalization will be held Saturday,
Oct. 6. The rates for next year are
the same as last year. This is an
unusually good showing, conidering
the carry-over next year due to the
change in the dates of payment
Most irrigation districts have had to
increase their rates 25 to so per
cent to provide for this.

SCHOOLS EAT
UP TAX SAVING
State, County and Road Lev
les are Reduced but the
Schools Increased

In spite of the fact that the state
general tax levy for next year has
been reduced mill and a half, the
county levy reduced mill and a
tenth, and reductions from one to six
mills in road districts, the taxpayers
of Benton county will be required to
pay more taxes next year than this.
The reductions in state, county and
road district levies will amount to
abount $50, 900 but levies of the school
districts of the county show an in
crease of $4,000.
"This tax reduction business is ra-
ther uphill work." declared Commis-
sioner R. H. Briggs. "We pruned the
county budget to the limit but we
couldn't lop off enough to make up
for the increase in the cost of op-
Grating the schools"
The county levy next year will be
ten mills. This years levy was Ill
mills. In Commissioner Briggs dis
trict the road levy is cut from five
to four mills; in Allard's district
from seven to six mills and in De-
Bows district there will be no road
levy as he has large enough car
ry-over to take care of next years
needs.
The county's assessed valuation
.trx,,- ~, ;,,o,o,e.. of ,>.r~,,<s &L.x, Conn
600, due largely to increasing the
taxation ratio on railroad property.
In the city of Kennewick next
years taxes will be about the same
as this. The levy will be slightly
reduced and the valuation is little
greater. The total levy this year for
all purposes was 21 mills. The new
levy will be 20.2 mills.

GAS DOLLARS
FLOW SLOWLY
Clubs Call for Funds to Pay
Engineer Not Quickly
Answered

Will every individual, every corpo-
ration, and every business, social and
fraternal organization in Kennewick
and vicinity donate one dollar, before
Saturday night Ovtober 6, to pay for
a preliminary survey and report of a
competent gas engineer to determine
the potential benefits, feasibility, cost
of construction, maintenance and op-
Grafton of natural gas distribution
system for domestic and industrial
purposes in this community?
The above is the opening paragraph
of letter sent out Saturday by the
Commercial club. Saturday night is
almost here but to date the flow of
dollars has been rather scanty. The
dollar letter was mailed to the same
list to which the fuel QUESTIONABLE
was sent. Evidently there are a lot
more people who are willing to tell
the amount of their fuel bill than
there are who are ready to spend a
dollar to help start something to re-
duce it. More dollars are needed.
C. R. Collins, of Seattle, who has
been jointly engaged by the Kenne-
wick Commercial club and the Pasco
Chamber of Commerce has been at
work since Monday. He has finished
the counting of the houses in Kenne-
wick and other field work and is now
working in Pasco. BY the last of the
week he will have collected suffi-
cient data from which to begin the
preparation of estimates of the cost
and operation of a gas distribution
system in the two towns.

SOME GOT EN-
OTHERS DIDN'T
Ducks were Plentiful Open
ing Day but they were
High Fliers

Some got ducks and other didn't.
This is the score of the first days
shooting of the duck season which
opened Mnoday morning.
Reports of hunters in general in
dicate that ducks are more plentiful
this year than for several years, but
they are surely high fliers, at least
they flew high Monday, which was
an ideal day for stacking the fourth
cutting of alfalfa but anything but a
duck day.
Hunters were fortunate enough to
get places at the choisest ponds came
home with good bags but those who
had to take pot luck along the Yaki-
ma river did not fare to well.
County Game Warden Nick Pal
mer who was out on the firing line
all day was nightly well pleased
with the behavior of the shotgun
wielders. "They are fine bunch of
fellows and real sportsmen," said Mr..
Palmer in speaking of those who
hunted the ponds and the Yakima riv-
er above Richland. 81 don't believe
there was an attempt to beat the clock
The first shot I heard was three
minutes before starting time and
three minutes isn't enough to make
a fuss about"
The only arrest made was of Cal
ifornia fruit packer who is employed
at Benton City. He was hunting with
out license. The warden took his
gun and 500 bail for his appearance
in justice court in Pr0sser.
Last week the opening and closing
hours for shooting were given for the
first week. Here's another week:

HUNT OF OREGON
CHOSEN MANAGER
Lampson Expects to Re
tain his Position with
Three Rivers Growers

Lee nj. Lampson manager of the
Three Rivers Growers of this city
was named secretary and assistant
manager of the Northwest Hay As
sociation at an all-day meeting of the
board Of directors Sunday in Yakima.
L. A. Hunt manager of the Oregon
association, and w. L. Dimmick, for
mer county commissioner of Yakima
county were named manager and
president respectively of the North
west association. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Hunt will at once tender his res
ignation a manager of the Oregon
association.
Commenting upon his appointment,
Mr.. Lampson assured the Courier-R Re-
porter that he has no intention of
deserting the Three Rivers organiz-
alton which he has so efficiently man.
aged this year, provided the member
ship wishes him to continue. Before
accepting the position with the Hay
Growers he had definite understand
ing that his employment will not
continue beyond April 1, 1924 after
which date his entire time will be
required by the local organization.
Between now and next spring he is
to be allowed enough time to look
after brokerage connections and other
preliminaries necessary to marketing
next years early crops in this dis
trict. The two jobs work well togeth-
er. The busy seanson of the Three
Rivers association is in the spring
and early summer, while the peak of
the Hay Growers activities is in the
fall and winter.
Headquarters of the Northwest as
sociation will be in Yakima. Mr.
Lampson will begin his work there
Immediately but will not move his
family from here until later.
The new association controls 150,-
600 tons of hay in Kittitas,, Yakima,
Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla
counties. The Oregon association
which controls 10000 tons and is put
ting on campaign to increase its
tonnage to 10000, will eventually
combine with the new organization
thus forming one of the largest CO.
operative marketing associations in
the Northwest.
Methods of bringing about financial
relief for needy hay growers was one
OF the main items of business at the
first executive board meeting yester-
day. Manager Hunt announced it is
the plan of the association to secure
funds to assist its members within
the next 8 weeks.
"We will not be able to help our
members so much this year as we
hope to in the future due to the new
ness of our organization. Funds for
aiding association members will come
mainly at this time from local banks.
Later we may get money from the
intermediate Land Credit Bank at
Spokane. We will loan money to our
members only on sound security; no
goodwill security or hot air financ-
ing goes in this organization" Hunt
asserts. The board of directors will
meet Oct. 13.
