To Try To Get Secretary
Who Will Also Be Ad-
visor to Farmers
EXTENSION AID
MAY BE POSSIBLE
To Find Out Whether De-
partment Will Cooper
ate In Such Plan

The Commercial club has under
consideration, plan to engage a
community agricultural agent to aid
the farmers in growing and market
ing early crops to which this section
is especially adapted.
Such an undertaking was proposed
at last Thursdays meeting by M. M.
Moulton. The proposal was received
with favor by the club membres and
referred to the agricultural bureau
for investigation and report.
The plan discussed is to engage
a man who will serve the club as its
secretary and advise and assist the
farmers Of the Kennewick-R -RichIand
district.
One of the first moves of the ag-
ricultural bureau was to get into
communication with Mr.. Underwood
who is director Of county agents work
in the state, to ascertain whether the
department of agriculture or the
State College could participate with
the club in such an undertaking. Mr..
Underwood replied by submitting a
proposed budget of $3.50 of which
the department will pay $1400: The
budget evidently is planned for a
county agent and does not fit the
plan which the club proposes. The
plan is not for a county agent but a
district one, part of whose time
is to be devoted to Commercial club
work.
At today's luncheon the agricultur-
al committee was authorized to con-
fer further with Mr.. Underwood if
any finacial aid for the district plan
is possible.
Chairman Williams, of the agricul-
tural bureau expects to get in touch
with Mr.. Underwood by telephone and
will be ready to report more defin-
itely next Thursday.

Arrests Man Who Answers
Description of Owen
Hudson
RIJT BODY OF REAL
HUDSON is FOUND
Suspect Picked UP Here
Makes Little Effort to
Establish Alibi

Kennewick was afforded a real
thrill Friday night when it was re-
ported that Chief of Police Jack Dale
had arrested at the N. P. depot, Owen
Hudson wanted in Grant county for
he murder of three people and the
vounding of fourth. Further inves-
tisation however proved that the man
arrested here was not Hudson whose
body was found yesterday near Coulee
in Grant County.
The man arrested here gave the
name of Joseph Houston and said he
had spent the winter in Walla Walla,
although when questioned further he
vas unable to give the names of any
people who knew him nor did he show
any knowledge Of the town.
Houston answered almost perfect
" the description of Hudson even
70 scar on the side of the nose.
he admitted that he was AZ years
Of age, which was Hudson's age. In
fact he so closely resembled the Grant
county slayer that after being taken
to the county jail in Pasco he was
identified as Hudson by Samuel De-
Pew, who lived near and was well
acquainted with Hudson. But when
be was taken to Ephrata people who
were well acquainted with Hudson,
declared positively that the man in
custody was not he.
Searchers found Hudson's body a
short distance from where his trail
was lost by his pursuers the day fol-
lowing the crime. He had shot HIM
self through the right eye with a
$3.50 rifle.
Houston is still puzzle to the Of
hcers who questioned him. They are
Of the opinion that he is either slight
y mentally deranged or is wanted
somewhere for some other crime,
hence his reluctance to talk. When
arrested he said he was waiting to
catch train to Yakima. Chief Dale
says he is the first man he ever ar
rested who had absolutely nothing in
his pockets. Save for an accumulation
OF dust and lint his pockets were alb
sclutely empty.

Twelve Poison Victims Members of
Rev. Messerli's Church

Rev. HI. C. Messerli who left here
recently to accept the pastorate of
the Lutheran church a Albany, Ore
gon, writes that he has started his
work there under most trying circum-
stances. Mrs. Messerli died within
few days after he left here and one
of Rev. Messerli's first duties in his
new church was to. conduct the fun
eral of IL members of his congra-
cation who died of botulinus poison
ing.
a'We had 1889 people in church at
the funeral and many more outside y
Rev. Messerli writes. "It was perhaps
the most impressive service ever held
in this part of the state. Floral dec
orations were wonderful and public
sympathy and participation in every
way laudable."

DEAN REPLIES
TO MOORES
Director. of Experiments
Tells What Has Been
Done at Prosser

Edward C. johnson, dean of the
College of Agriculture and director
of agricultural experiments at the
Washington State College, has writ
ten Gordon C. Moores, taking excep-
tion to Mr.. Moores' criticism Of the
work being carried on at the state
experiment farm near Prosser.
Dean Johnson says that because
of the fine publicity given the feed
ing operations it might appear that
feeding has been overemphasized at
the farm. He says that stock feeding
is only one feature of the work that
has been carried on. Three special
lists, he says, are employed at the
station, one devoting his entire time
to studying crop production under ir-
rigation, another, irrigation problems
and third. horticultural problems.
He points out also that at the be-
ginning the farm consisted of 200
acres of raw land that before exper-
iments could be conducted it was
necessary that the land be cropped to
alfalfa or some similar crop to put
humus and nitrogen into the soil.
After the alfalfa had been grown it
was more profitable to feed it on
the farm than to sell the hay, conse-
quently the feeding demonstrations
were undertaken.
Dean Johnson expressed a desire
to appear before the Commercial club
in the near future and more fully
explain the operation of the Prosser
farm. The club, at today's luncheon,
voted to authorize President Moores
to extend an invitation to the direc-
