If the moon changes in the morning
it usually brings rain, but when it

FARMERS MAKE HARD
FIGHT AGAINST WEEvIL
MAJORITY OF THE TERRELL
GROWERS WILL USE POISON
TO CHECK COTTON ENEMY.

The farmers of Terrell and contig-
uous counties are determined to whip
the boil weevil this year, and with
united forces will make a general as
sault all along the line on the million
dollar bug.
A large acreage in cotton. practical
ly as large as that Of last year, has
been planted at heavy expense for la
Dor, seed and fertilizer, and no chances
will be taken with the weevil. More
poison will be used this season than
ever before, and some have already
begun to apply it, especially on farms
where weevils have already been
found.
The banks OF Dawson are backing
the farmers in the use of poison. Early
in. the season they bought large guam
titles OF calcium arsenate and are sell
ing 1t at cost to those of their Gus
toners who will use it. Merchants and
Others are also taking a hand in the
fight, and are lending every possible
assistance.
While exerting every effort to make
and save cotton crop the farmers
are giving more attention to other
crops than usual. The acreage in corn
is larger than it has been in several
years, and it is being better cultivated
More potatoes will be grown the hay
crop will be large and more attention
is being given to hogs and chickens
One farmer in the southwestern sec
ton OF the county now has 700 biddies
in his yards.
The fact is the Terrell farmer is on
the way to better conditions.

AWARDS TO
BOY SCOUTS
Court of Honor Confers
Merit and Scout Badges
on Large Class

Tuesday night was big night for
the Boy Scouts. The Pasco Court of
Honor held sessions in the CONNER
cial club rooms here and dispensed
honors to lads who came before them
for examination in Scout work. If
any of the grownups think scouting
is all play and no work they should
attend the next session of the court
of honor and become disillusioned.
While the class for examination
was so large that detailed question
ing of each was impracticable, the
lads showed that they have been CIV
ing some real study to the work and
have been exceptionally well trained
by their scout masters.
Awards in Kennewick Troop No. /
were as follows: Cecil Boyer, merit
badges in craftsmanship, fireman.
ship, first aid to animals, pathfind-
ing and public health. Gerald Camp
bell, merit badges in craftsmanship,
first aid to animals, public health,
poultry keeping, pathfinding and
firemanship; Joe Siegfried, merit
badges in personal health, pathfind-
ing, carpentry, electricity, civics,
safety first, public health, fireman
ship and bird study.
Merit badges Were conferred upon
John .Horrigan, of Pasco for schol-
arship and carpentry.
The following boys were advanced
fo fho ropl nf cacNud class ccN,1fS.

man, Jim Beste, Elmer Falls, Edward

BENTON CHANGERS
MAKE FINE RECORD
This County Sends Large Delegation
to Washington State
Grange Meeting

C. C. Williams, master of Benton
County Pomona Grange, reports that
Benton County made a mighty fine
showing at the annual meeting Of the
Washington State Grange in Van
couver last week. Benton county
sent delegation of more than forty
grangers and was credited with the
largest number of any county ex-
cepting Clarke, where the meeting
was held. Every subordinate grange
in this county excepting one was rep
resented.
The Finley degree team was highly
complimented for the manner in
which it put on the work. The team
gave an exhibition on board the
steamer during a river excursion.
Mr.. Williams also reports that
Benton county has the second larg-
est Pomona Grange in the state.

ANOTHER DIG
AT TAX LIST
Seattle Has Taken Fifty
Three Millions Off State
Tax Roll

Seattle's municipal street railway,
power projects and port activities
have lifted property from the tax
rolls amounting to $53, 3,OOO,O in ac-
tual value, or an equalized assessable
value of $21, 100000, according to
Lester M. Livengood, manager of the
Spokane Taxpayers Economy League.
The deficit thus created in state rev.
enues is made up by larger taxation
of every other city and county in the
state.
This means that Spokane is pay
ing tribute to Seattle at the rate of
100000 a year in extra taxes" says
Mr.. Livengood, "Whitman county is
paying $4,000 year; Yakima is
paying $4,000 a year. Other coun-
ties are paying in proportion to make
up this $21 100000 for Seattle. Seat
tie, like ancient Rome, is levying
tribute on every other section of the
state" s
The Bone Bill, Initiative Measure
No. SO, is designed by Seattle poll
ticians to impose an additional load
of taxation on the remainder of the
state, according to Mr.. Livengood.
The bill provides for the removal of
more property from the tax rolls,
with a corresponding and necessary
increase of the tax burden elsewhere
and on all other classes of property.
Seattle might as well come out in
the open," declares Mr.. Livengood.
"When property is taken off the tax
rolls the property that remains must
bear higher tax. Appeals for tax
relief come from every part of the
state; yet all parts of the state are
now asked to aid Seattle in the re-
moval of more property from the
tax rolls, which means direct and
immediate increase of their own tax
es. Keep this up and we will soon
be driven to new kinds of taxes, as
well as to the sacrifice of property
on which taxes have become too high
to be paid"

TO WORK ON
LINKS TONIGHT
Members Of Golf Club to
Use Rakes and Hoes In
stead of Drivers

Tonight is work night for members
of the Kennewick Golf club. In fact
the women members of the club are
not waiting until tonight to begin
their work. They are busy over kit
chen ranges cooking the big feed
which is to be served this evening
on the lawn at the j. j. Rudkin home.
The why of it all is that at the last
meeting of the club, members were
unanimous In the opinion that the
course must be put in better shape.
The treasury is not in position to
stand the strain and in lieu of dig
ging up to meet an assessment the
members decided to don their old
togs, arm themselves with rakes,,
shovels and other implements and dc
the work themselves.
The work which will be directed by
w. c. Muldrow and Herman Schmidt,
will include the building of new tee
platforms, widening of fairways,
making two new greens and improv-
ing the others and raking the rub
oiSh oue VI eiiS SdiyoE hdzdioS VII
number four. The course is to be
heightened by moving No. six tee
back hundred yards and building
a new green for number seven.
The dues which We're fixed tempo
rarily at S1.50 a quarter, has been
raised to $500 a quarter for the men
while the dues for ladies remain as
before.
To contribute interest to the play,
the club named G. H. Shanafelt and
w. c.. Muldrow as handicap COM
mittee and all players are requested
to hand their scores to Mr.. Shanafelt
at the postoffice. The record of each
player will be kept and handicaps
fixed.

HUDNALL HURLS
SPLENDID GAME
Kid Pitcher Strikes Out Fif-
teen Benton Batsmen-
Has One Bad Inning

Suffering none of the stage fright
which seems to affect them when
playing away from home, Kenne-
wick's baseball players came through
Sunday with an to 5 victory over
Benton City. Hudnall, the Skid" pitt
cher was in the box for the locals and
with the exception of one bad inning
he hurled one of the best games of
the league schedule. He hung UP
fifteen strikeouts and allowed six
hits, four of which came in the eighth
inning. These hits coupled with two
errors were responsible for all but
one of Benton's runs.
Penny Ferrell's shakeup of the
team was apparently for the best.
Woods caught a good game while
Glispey at third and f. Gerber at
first did steller work. Next Sunday
Kennewick plays at Richland.
Sundays game at Hanford resulted
in to 0 forfeit in favor of Han
ford. Following dispute over the
umpire's decision the Richland team
refused to finish the game and left
the field in the fifth inning when the
score was to 1. President Nelson
of the Benton County League has
called meeting of the executive
committee for tonight to consider the
dispute and render decision.
If the forfeit stands Richland's
standing as league leaders is reduced
to 625. Kennewick and Hanford are
tied for second place with 500 and
Benton City registers 375.

Local Committee Confers
With Eugene Enloe at
His Home in Spokane
HE HAS NOT GIVEN
UP PIPE LINE PLANS
But Before Proceeding He
Desires that Field be
Further Proven

That the proposition of Eugene
Enloe to pipe natural gas from the
wells of the Walla Walla Oil, Gas &
Pipe Line company, in the Rattle
snake hills to Kennewick and Pasco,
is not dead issue is the information
brought back here by Commercial
club committee which conferred with
Mr.. Enloe in Spokane Tuesday. l..
Z. johnson, A. F. Brown, M. M.
Moulton and w. r. Crawford are the
members of the committee. asnar
The gas proposition has been rath-
en- dormant owing to the fact that
Mr.. Enloe has been in California for
several months. In Spokane he as
sured the Kennewick men that he
still has great faith in the possibil-
titles of pipe line and has not aban-
doned the idea of carrying out his
proposition. He reiterated his un-
willingness to undertake distribution
of the gas to the consumer. He pro-
poses to build the pipe line and sell
wholesale to the municipalities or to
a distributing company.
Mr.. Enloe made it plain, however,
that he has no intention of going
ahead with his plans until the field
has been further proven. This he be-
lieves will be done by the new well
which the Walla Walla company has
started.
Before going to Spokane, members
Of the local committee visited the
gas field and bring back encouraging
reports concerning this well. The
purpose of the company is not to
further test the field for gas but TO
go down after oil. The well is being
drilled with a big standard rig fully
equipped and the start is with an
1S-inch hole. III. ID. James, mana
ger of the company has engaged the
services of an expert driller and a
new method of operation is to be
employed which it is thought will
greatly facilitate progress. A large
pump has been installed in one of
the older wells which was abandoned
at depth Of 300, feet. From this
a strong stream Of water will be
forced into the new well and the
drillirfgs carried out as the drilling
proceeds.
As soon as gas is struck in this
well, Mr.. Enloe will be ready to pro-
ceed with the piping whenever a dis
tributing company will enter into
a contract for the purchase of the gas
at his pipe line terminals. In order
to enable the local communities to
find market for the gas Mr.. Enloe
has materially reduced the price at
which gas will be sold for manufac-
turing prices. With this concession
granted, the local committee will re-
new negotiations with manufacturing
concerns who are willing to establish
factories here if gas can be pur-
chased at comparatively low rate.
Mr.. Enloe intimated that he might
make even a greater reduction if the
local committee can show enough
business to justify it.
Members of the committee were
very favorably impressed with the
fairness of Mr.. Enloe and are con-
WINGED that he means business. They
are likewise convinced that sufficient
prospective gas consumption can be
lined up to Justify the building of the
pipe line.
