PASCO DROPS
ANNUAL GAME
Kennewick Takes First of
Two Football Matches
with One Touchdown

Kennewick defeated Pasco in their
annual Arnistice Day clash Tues
day by the score Of 6 to o. IL was a
clean game, and was by far the best
playing seen on the local field this
year. The teams were handicapped
in the first half by the wind and
rain but in the second half it cleared
up and it developed into an ideal
football day.
The first and only touchdown of
the game was scored in the early
part of the second quarter, Seward
carrying it across. The try for point
failed, the ball striking the goal post.
With four minutes to go the Kenne-
wick team rallied and came within
one foot Of the goal line. The whistle
spoiled what looked to be a sure
touchdown.
The third quarter was comparative
ly even, neither side making any
large gains, and at the end of the
quarter it was left on the forty
eight yard line.
The biggest thrill Of the game
came in the last quarter. By series
of passes and line bucks, Pasco work.
ed the ball to within few yards of
the goal. Here the line held and
the ball was lost on downs. Twice
more Pasco rallied and came to with
in scoring distance only to lose the
ball on the fourth down. Kennewick
punted out of danger and the game
ended. Kennewick 6, Pasco O.
Thanksgiving the team will journ-
ey to Pasco, where the two teams
will clash in the annual Turkey Day
game.

SCOUTS TAKE
ROLL CALL
Boys to Make Annual Drive
For Renewal of Red
Cross Membership

Kennewicks two Boy Scout troops
have volunteered to take charge of
the annual Red Cross Roll Call this
year. The roll call which is put on
each year between Armistice and
Thanksgiving is for the purpose of
soliciting renewals Of memberships
in the Red Cross at the regular dues
of one dollar.
The scouts are new at this work
and they should have the hearty CO.
operation Of the entire community.
They plan to make their drive Sat-
urday of this week. The town will
be districted and the thirty or more
lads will make house to house can
vass. In addition to this work they
will establish enrolment booths in
some Of the stores and will open head
quarters in the room next door to
the postoffice where Saturday after
noon they will give a demonstration
in scouts first aid work.
Kennewick has an excellent Red
Cross record. During the war the
local branch more than met every
quota assigned it and since the war
a large PERCENTAGE Of the wartime
members have renewed their men,
bership during the annual roll call.
The Kennewick branch has never
ceased tn function. AlthouOh ;ts ac-
tivities are not carried On in q pub
lie manner, it is quietly extended
aid to the needy and unfortunate
of the community. Funds for this
work is supplied through money col
lected in the roll call.
Be ready for the scouts when they
call. If they miss you, Leslie White,
scoutmaster of Troop 2 will take
your membership dues at the Cour-
office.

Four Candidates in Fight
For Gavel in Lower House
Of Legislature
BATTLE is BETWEEN
NEW AND OLD GUARD
Attempt of Reed Forces to
Control is Opposed by
Hartley Supporters

M. M. Moulton, who has been elect
ed to his third term as Benton coun-
tvs representative in the state legis-
lsture, is one of the central figures
in a lively contest now in progress
to determine who is to be speaker of
the lower house at the 1926 session.
Mr.. Moulton is one of the four active
candidates for the position and while
he is regarded as dark horse his
friends are Of the opinion that he has
an excellent chance Of landing the
speakership. Other contenders are
Pliny Allen of Seattle, Floyd Danskin
Of Spokane, Olaf Olsen Of Deer Park
and Elmer Halsey Of Charleston.
The fight for the speakership, how
ever, is not between these four men
but between the new and the old
guard Of the republican party. AS
stated by the Spokesman-Review, the
fight reveals the following features:
q. A bitter drive, headed by Mark
E. Reed, speaker of the 1923 legis-
lature, to retain control of the house
by the forces that went down to de-
feat in the primary with e. L.
French, goyernorship candidate of the
Hart administration.
2. Whether Governor-E Elect Hartley
will have full control at Olympia, or
If he will be forced into having con-
tinually to fight or compromise with
the group that has controlled the leg
islature for years.
8. Whether the republican organ
ization which won control at the
Wenatchee convention is strong
enough to retain its power.
So far Hartley has taken no part
in the fight, but his friends are NOV
ing rapidly to insure what they call
ga fair deal for the Hartley admins
tration." French is taking no part
either, but those who backed him are
determined to obtain enough power
in the legislature to form a substan-
tial club over the Hartley admins
tration.
The Reed forces which control Ia
coma and southwest Washington have
endorsed Olsen with Halsey as sec
ond choice. Seattle and King county
are backing Allen while Spokane is
on the fence as between Danslsin and
Olsen. Moulton is known to have
considerable support in the counties
of the eastside outside Of Spokane
and in the northwest outside of King
county. 1t is understood also that
the Allen support is willing TO swing
to either Allen or Danskin IL it de-
velops that the Seattle man cannot
win against the southwest combina-
tion. Either Moulton or Danslrin is
acceptable to the republican organ
ization which came into control at
the Wenatchee convention.
All of the four candidates together
with a number of leaders of the op-
posing forces are in Spokane today
and it is expected that the issue Of
the battle win be known by tonight.

FRUIT PRICES
RULE HIGH
Compared with Prices Last
Year Show Much High
er Level Throughout

Comparison Of prices received for
some OF the standard varities of fruit
shipped out of Kennewick, this year
and 1923, reveals some very interest
ing facts and inspires hope for the
future. With the stocks of the dry.
ers and canning plants at a very low
level it is reasonably certain that
good prices will prevail for the 1925
crop.
In 1928 the Elberta peach market
opened at IS cents and rapidly de-
clined until the bottom was reached
at 46 cents. This year the crop start
ed to move at 95 cents and continued
to climb until the close of the season
found Elbertas selling at $1.1O. These
figures are taken from the records
on file at the Big Y.
Last year the Bartlett pear market
started off in the dumps with $50 as
the top offer for No. 1 canning stock.
Most Of the crop went into storage.
The market gradually revived and
ended at around $50 ton with an
average for the season Of $40.78. This
year the market opened brisk with
the Gamers offering $50 . ton. With
ample facilities FOR holding the crop
the growers were in no hurry to sell.
The market was kept hungry and
prices advanced, resulting in returns
to the growers Of $500 q ton for
No. 1 fancy Gamers and $500 for
No. 2, or an average Of $69.43. Stand
and fancy boxed pears brot $2.12
and standard C-grade $1.57.
Jonathan apples which last year
brot barely harvesting expenses this
year net handsome profits according
to the Big Y pools which have been
closed.
Jonathans shipped prior to Aug
ust 80, brought for Extra Fancy
standard, $2.25; sitter $1.50; Fancy
$1.70; C-grade $1.25-95c.
Second pool, which included the
balance of the Kennewick district
crop, Extra Fancy, $1.85-$1.45; Fam
cy, $1.60-$1.20; C-grade, $1.35-95c;
Combination Fancy and C-grade,
$1.25-$1.40; with an average of $1.51.
The apple market continues strong
with prospects for further advance in
prices. Rome Beauties are now quot
ed at $1.85, $1.65, $1.25 while Wine
saps are held at $2.45, $2.15, $1.75. s

Representatives of Four Or
ranizations to Meet Here
Monday Morning
r.AMPSON PLANS
CONFERENCE
Relieve Four Associations
can Use Same Statesmen
in Middle West

Lee M. Lampson, manager of the
Three Rivers Growers and the Cen
hal Washington Cantaloupe Ex-
change has been quietly evolving a
ulan to coordinate the activities of
several growers cooperative market
~ organizations handling farm pro-
duets other than tree fruits.
for the purpose of discussing plans
% effect some kind Of working agree
nsent, Mr.. Lampson has arranged
fcr meeting to be held in the Com
msrcial club rooms in this city next
Monday at 10 o'clock am. The Wal
b Walla Gardeners association, the
Grandview Grape Growers, the Cen
hal Washington Cantaloupe ex-
change and the Three Rivers Growers
wnl be represented by their mana
fers and two members of their boards
Of directors.
Mr.. Lampson explains that con-
solidation of these organizations, or
the creation of a central selling agen-
g for the four is not contemplated.
he believes, however, the joint en-
ployment of statesmen to work the
markets of the Middle West, will be
found to be practical. Each of these
organizations this year was forced
to extend its marketing operations
beyond the Northwest. The Three
Rivers Growers marketed consider
able asparagus in Minneapolis and
Chicago. These markets are also used
By the Walla Walla Gardeners % an
outlet for their onion crop. The
Gfandview Grape Growers entered
the Minneapolis market this year as
did the Central Washington Canta-
loupe exchange. These two associa-
tons expect next year to enter the
Chicago markets.
All Of these organizations, Mr..
Lampson says, have felt the need Of
direct representation in these mar
kets-a man to push sales, inspect
shipments and adjust claims. The
volume Of business, however, has not
Justified any one of them maintain
ing men in Chicago, Minneapolis and
other cities east of Spokane.
These four organizations are now
permanently organized and are each
ysar handling an increased volume
q products" said Mr.. Lampson. "All
q them have a volume of products
mat cannot be marketed in the North
vest, consequently new markets must
g found in the Middle West and
EAST The Grandview Grape Grow
srs this year marketed AZ cars Of
sfapes and will have a larger ton
mage next year. The Three Rivers
asxt year will ship between Is and 90
eafs OF asparagus. The Walla Wal
= onion business has outgrown the
northwest markets and the same is
9ue Of the Central Washington can
aoiupe crop. In short all of the four
examinations are facing the prob
,em Of developing new markets. None
" them are competitors and there is
ssefy reason to expect good results
nom some kind of a cooperative plan
serve all of them"
