icultural association in Wenatchee
last week report an exceptionally In
teresting program and q large at
tendance.
Of special interest to farmers of
this district is the action Of the as
sociation favorine the establishment
of state grade and pack rules for
cantaloupes, asparagus and onions.
The legislature will be requested to
clothe the state department Of agri-
culture with authority to prescribe
standards for these crops the same AS
is now done for apples and other
tree fruits.
The proposal that no fruits be ac-
cepted by railroad for shipment
except upon a certificate Of inspec-
tion was turned down by the reso-
lutions committee as being impracti-
cal. While there IN. no differences
of opinion as to the desirability Of
such, the requirement, It was pointed
out that enforcement would require
an army Of inspectors to cover q
small and obscure shipping station.

NOT FEARED
Health Officers Say Diph-
iberia Situation is Well
in Hand

That there is no cause for alarm
because of the few cases of diphther-
ia in the community, is the belief of
both County Health Officer Spauld-
ing and City Health Officer Tullar.
To date the disease is confined to
the families Of G. A. Quasi and !. N.
Mueller. There are several cases in
the Quasi family but all the patients
are convalescing as is Frank Mueller.
DR.. Tullar took very prompt mea-
sures to prevent the disease becoming
epidemic among the school children.
Every pupil in both grade and high
school has been examined at frequent
intervals. At each examination child
rem showing the slightest throat dis
order have been sent home.
A number of children have been
taken out Of school by their parents.
DR.. Tullar says that this is absolutely
unnecessary and is working a need
less hardship on the children, the
teachers and the district. The allot-
ment of state money is made upon IN
attendance record and the district is
deprived of state money on every
child that is out Of school.
with frequent examinations the
safest place for the child is in school"
said DE-. Tullar. "The first symptoms
of any disorders which would tend
to weaken the child's powers of re-
sistance and make it more suscept-
able to diphtheria or any other con-
tagious disease would probably 5e
detected sooner by the examining
physician in school than by the par
ents in the home"

LOCAL BOYS MAKE GOOD

Eric Waldorf and Phil Hitchcock,
who have homes near Finley but who
are now attending W.S.C., were fav-
orably mentioned in report from
that college, containing the wrestling
lineup. The squad has been trimmed
down to only Is and evidently these
two boys have shown the necessary
specifications to be admitted to that
16. Eric who has just finished q
successful football year has his name
now on the list Of light-heavies to
support W.S.C. in the coming season.
Phil will feature in the class Of the
middleweights. Both boys were
strong athletic figures in the Kenne-
wick High school and now they do
not seem to be doing too badly in
college.

c. E. GRIFFITH
DIES In CAR
Pioneer Farmer Succombs
to Heart Failure While
Driving Auto

Death came suddenly to one of
Kennewick's pioneer citizens Satur-
day afternoon when Charles E. Grif-
fifth was seized by heart attack and
collapsed at the wheel Of his car.
Mr.. Griffith had driven into town
earlier in the day accompanied by
Mrs. Griffith and was apparently in
as good health as usual. He attended
the Price e. Lincoln auction sale and
from there started to drive to the E.
r. Carnahan home, on Pacific street,
where Mrs. Griffith had spent the af-
ternoon. As he neared the house he
was stricken with heart failure and
fell forward across the steering
wheel. The car was going at a slow
rate of speed and angled across the
street and came to a stop against a
tree. Mr.. Price, neighbor was in
the rear seat of the car at the time.
A physician who was hastily sum-
moned pronounced that death had
been almost instantaneous.
Funeral services were conducted
Tuesday afternoon in the Baptist
church by Rev. John A. Shaw. The
services were attended by hundreds
of the family's friends from all
parts of the valley. Interment was in
Riverview Heights cemetery.
Charley Griffith was one of those
unpretentious though substantial cit
izens, who enjoyed the friendship and
commanded the respect Of all who
knew him and rarely if ever incur
red the emnity Of anyone.
He was born in Dunmfries, Cana
da, September 6, 1854. When he was
five years Of age his parents moved
to Middleville, Michigan where he
grew to manhood and where, Octo-
Der 90, 1881 he was married to Az
veretta Belle Bray, who survives him.
In 1884 Mr.. Griffith moved to De-
Smet, South Dakota and engaged in
farming. Six years after, he came
to Walla Walla and entered into the
furniture business. He became iden-
titled with the developement Of this
district in 1904 and from the first
was firm, believer in the success
of agriculture in the Kennewick VAL
ley. Hundreds of acres now in crop
are monuments Of his skill and his
determination to assist in the re-
clamation of the desert lands along
the Columbia river. First as con-
tractor he prepared land for culti-
walton for others. Later he purchased
80 acres of raw land in the River
road district and developed an alfal-
ia farm. He sold this farm several
years ago and purchased 30 acres on
the Columbia between Finley and Ho-
yer, which he was successfully farm
ing in spite Of his advanced age.
Besides his widow, Mr.. Griffith
is survived by SON Major Gerald
G. Griffith, of Seattle, and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Harley H. Peter of Kenne-
wick and Mrs. Alton Russell, of Zil-
ah. Two. brothers and a sister are
also living. They are: Arthur w.
Griffith, of Middleville, Michigan
and Henry j. Griffith, Of Canada. and
Mrs. Ellen M. Thurston of Edmond
ton, Alta.

VOLLY BALL
SEASON HERE
Athletic Association Plans
for Strenuous Nights
in High Gym

"a meeting of the Kennewick Ath-
letic association last Monday marked
the beginning Of another busy year
for the members participating in
any of the activities of the associa-
tion.
The association was organized last
year for the purpose Of affording an
opportunity for the tired business
men to relax and take part in the
muscle developing pastimes of the
gymnasium, and at the same time
give the pleasure seeking public, a
chance to have the enjoyment afford
ed through the match games of the
league, organized within the associa-
tion. It has not only been successful
in that respect but has also made it
self self-supporting organization.
Last years reports show that mem-
bership fees and the gate receipts
from the games played, with out Of
town teams gives receipt of $2S3.03.
The current expenses of the year be-
ing $26z.42, leaves a net balance of
1851. The association deserves some
credit for this fact when it is taken
into consideration that no charge was
made for any of the local league
games.
At a meeting last Monday, at the
Commercial club rooms, the club de-
cided that the officiating staff of
last year handled things in q very
satisfactory manner for they named
them again as their head officers,
namely: DR.. A. G. Tullar, president.
L. F. Semon, vice-president, j. P.
Martin, secretary. The business COM
mittee appointed this year are w.
Stickler, Ed Tweedt, and George
Smith.
Basketball and volley ball starts
Immediately with E. C. Smith as
the athletic director and manager of
the volley ball league, DR.. C. F. Nc
Coskey as manager of the basket ball
league and Coach LeFevre of the high
school as coach for both games. A
league of a number of live wire teams
is expected to be organized. These
teams play series of games in illi-
mination for first place. Members
have expressed their desire to have
good attendance at these games.
The membership of the association
now, standing from last year, is an
even 100. Any person wishing to take
part in the activities of the associa-
tion can do so by the payment of the
fee to j. p. Martin. Practicing in the
gymnasium started Wednesday night
of this week. Membership will prob
ably be raised fifty per cent this year.

NEW LICENSE RULE


State Department Requires Auto Ll-
censes by January First
The State Bureau Of Licenses has
given notice that the date set for
the purchase of automobile licenses
is a month earlier this year that
that of pervious dates. This makes
the date December /, rather than
January /, and the date Of delinquen-
cy the first day Of January rather
than Of February.
This action is the result Of an ef-
fort to get licenses in their proper
position at a time nearer to the first
of the year. Enforcement Of this new
rule will be strictly adhered to. The
bank is not taking applications this
year which leaves Gascoigne q Fyfe
the only place that purchase is pos
sible.
