CHERRY CROP is
HEAVIEST EVER
More Than Twenty Straight
Cars Shipped Besides
Big Express Orders

Contrary to the current report that
the Kennewick cherry crop was ruined
by frost and that orchard heating
was failure, there is now moving
out of Kennewickthe heaviest crop
in the history of the district.
Nineteen cars have been shipped
up to date and the end is not yet.
This is straight cars besides heavy
express orders.
"We are in the midst of the most
successful cherry harvest that this
district has ever had," said H. w.
Desgranges, manager of the Big Y,
which is handling 80 per cent of the
crop. weather conditions have been
perfect and never have we shipped
cherries of higher quality. The
yield has exceeded the most optimistic
estimates by one-third. All previous
records of shipment were smashed
last Monday when four cars were
loaded out by the Big Y and one by
the Barton-Gleason company. 1t is
indeed gratifying, after four years
of effort to induce growers to resort
to orchard heating and after the pes
imists have had three months to talk
about the failure of orchard heating,
to ship out record crop. following
the severest frost at cherry bloom
ing time. The success Of orchard heat
ing is proven beyond any argument.
There were some failures it is true,
but with added experience it will be
possible to entirely overcome the
frost damage. Seventy-five thousand
dollars will come into this commune
ty as a reward for burning few
tons of coal and the loss of few
nights of sleep. 1t is only matter
of time when cherries will be one
of the most important crops in this
district. Those contemplating new
planting should not overlook proper
pollenizing varieties. This is the most
important factor in successful cherry
growing. This is not only good
crop year but every indication is that
it is going to be good price year"

Kennewick team has won this year.
The first game of the season, played

Captain Warde Johnson, who is all

this year.
In Sundays game Marty Hudnail

one run, while Kennewick scored
eight times. Richland has been con-
sidered the hardest team in the
league for the local team to beat but

ages, grabbing off eleven hits.

GILMORE QUITS;
STOCK FOR SALE
Towns JeWeler Refuses to
Fight Hay Fever Any
Longer

). b. Gilmore, the towns only jew
eler, is going to quit business, so he
says in this weeks issue. "Can't fight
hay fever and make living at the
same time," is the reply he made as
to his reason for the move.
Mr.. Gilmore came here from Ell
lensburg eight or ten years ago, buy
ing the stock and building from Skill
man Van Cott. Since his arrival he
purchased fine home and his busi-
ness hassprospered. However repeated
attacks Of hay fever have caused him
to desire to make change in the
hopes of benefting his health and
that Of his family.
Beyond the fact that he will seek
a change Of climate, Mr.. Gilmore has
made no definite announcement as to
his future plans. It is more than like
ly that his building will be occupied
by the same kind Of a business after
Mr.. Gilmore leaves, however.

GOLFERS WIN IN
SUNDAY MATCH
Walla Walla Visitors Lose
Their. First Contes -
Play at Pasco Sunday

Local golfers won the tournament
played with Walla Walla on the Ken
newick course last Sunday by score
of Is to nine. A twelve-man team
was matched with local players who
were on their game and put up a
good exhibition. This is the first match
that Kennewick has won this year
and the first one that the Walla Wal
la club has lost.
A feature of the game was the fact
that three of the matches were halved
all thru, the number one team Mul-
drow and Batchelder playing stroke
for stroke.
After the game fine dinner was
served the visitors by Hooper who
had fried spring chicken as the prin-
cipal item.

London. Oct. 16.-(AP)-Edward
Albert Patrick David. Prince of Wales,
rejoined his family around the heavy
laden dinner table at Buckingham
Palace tonight and partook with them
o; "a feast of a wandering son home
from his voyages.
Earlier today his royal highness had
returned to his native land from 80
weeks ambassodorial trip to West and
South Africa and three countries of
South America. Never before had his
fathers subjects given the prince such
a welcome as they did when he drove
this afternoon through the misty,
dreary streets of the capital from Vic
toria station to Buckingham Palace,
where he threw aside the pomp of his
position to rest in the intimacy of the
family circle after his strenuous voy-
age.
From early in the day until o'clock
in the afternoon when the heir to the
throne reached London, a light rain
fell on crowds which lined the route
to the palace.
The king and queen and the princes
sisters and aunts arrived at Victoria
Station Is minutes before the appear
ance at o'clock of the special train
bringing the prince from Portsmouth.
where he landed at noon.
The formality which demands that
the king precede the queen in greeting
their children was cut short by King
George as he pushed the prince into
the open arms of his mother. The
queen was given mighty hug and
kiss on each cheek. Then the prince
turned to kiss his sister, Princess
Mary, Viscountees Laselles, and his
sister-in-law, the Duchess of York.
His great-uncle, the Duke of Con-
naught, and others of the royal family
then greeted the prince, who, after
shaking hands with the officials and
diplomats, with his father and two
brothers entered the waiting open car
rage and while the bands played
drove off into a two-mile line Of
cheering subjects.
Later the prince drove to his resi-
dence at st. James Palace and retired
from the sight of the eager crowds.
