ONE BID FOR AIR MAIL


When the government opened bids
for the various air mail routes made
possible to establish under the Kelly
bill last year, seventeen bids were re
ceived on eight routes. One bid was
made on the Pasco-Elko route. Wal.
ter T. Varney Of San Francisco en-
tered bid for 80 per cent of the
revenues derived on the route, the
maximum allowed under the law. He
also planned on using four planes for
the service two in the air and two in
reserve.
The schedule as announced Wed
nesday by the post office department

leave Elko at HAS in the forenoon
and arrive at Pasco at ABS, making

POOL SWEET POTATOES
Kennewick Courier ReT o ter

Sweet potato growers of the valley
perfected their organization Tuesday
by the election of permanent officers.
L. w. Belden Of White Bluffs was
elected president; F. L. O'Brien of
Richland, vice-p-es.; L. E. Freeman
of Richland, secretary and Lee M.
Lampson, manager. The state depart
ment of agriculture appointed r. D.
Sawyer of Richland as member at
large on the board of directors.
At their first meeting it was decid-
ed to adopt the U. S. Department of
Agriculture grade rules, consisting of
u. S. No. / and U. S. tumble pack.
The spuds will be handled in daily
pools. So far this season about car
load has been shipped in small lots
and full car will roll Wednesday Of
next week. The price being received
now is three to three and one-half
cents per pound here. 1t is estimated
that about 10 to 20 carloads will be
shipped from the valley this year.
er than the yellow but from all points
come compliments on the quality OF the
potatoes.
The experiment station is testing
out the different varieties and bv next
year will have found kinds of yellow
potatoes that will yield as well as the
red ones.
Those acquainted with conditions
here predict that with an average
price of three cents per pound sweet
potatoes will be big money maker
for the grower
Favorable reports from the grow
els, from the marketing agencies and
from the consumers indicate that the
sweet potato crop will increase in this
section.

STOLEN CAR RECOVERED
IN kENNEWICk

The new sport model Star touring
car of Rural Carrier Ray Slavens Of
Aanford, which was stolen from in
frcnt of the Hanford postoffice last
Friday afternoon, was found in Kcnne-
of the police station
A stranger, apparently in hurry
to get somewhere-or from some
where-drove into Hanford about
o'clock Friday afternoon in Star
roadster and after making a few in
quiries about crossing the Columbia
river and saying he had no money to
pay ferryage, could not start the road
ster again and took the touring car
that was parked near, Mr.. Slavens
having just come in off his route. The
loss was not discovered until several
minutes later and more time elapsed
before the sheriff's office was notified.
Superintendent Burkman and the
other White Bluffs teachers who were
returning from the teachers institute
at Benton City, passed the car near
the phone station about six miles
south of Hanford but at the time, of
cou''se, they did not know it had been
Sto-eH. WHen ne IlISt SlSHIeQ Tie car
coming about a mile or two off, Mr..
Burkman said, it was travelling at
terrific speed but it had slowed down
to moderate speed when it passed.
AS soon as he received word, the
deputy in Sheriff Shepherds office left
immediately in a ear and went toward
kennewick and he, with Mr.. Slavens,
who had left lIanford about the sam. .
time, found the car there.
A man was arrested IN Pasco that
evening for having stolen car in
Kennewick and it is presumed he is
the one that stole the Siavens car. It
is thought by some that the man may
have been one Of the prisoners who
escaped in the sensational Jail break
at Seattle last week.
The Star roadster in which the man
drove to Hanford, was found to be in
bad shape, the engine being so badly
burned out that it could not be start
ed. It is said that the roadster was
owned by a woman in Yakima and
was stolen there Friday noon.

S10O, 600 IN BUDGET FOR
new COURTHOUSE

Included in the temporary budget
passed by the county commissioners
of Benton County at the September
meeting are two items, $4,000 for
the repair of county vaults" and
100000 for court house." one of
which will be eliminated at the Octo-
Der meeting when the permanent bud
get is adopted. If the commissioners
decide to go ahead with plans for the
building of court house it is not
likely they will spend $4,000 to re-
pair the old vaults and if they decide
to defer the building of court house,
the 100000 item will be eliminated.
Both items were included in the
temporary budget because the law
provides that no item not included in
the temporary budget adopted in Sep
TENDER can be added to the permanent
budget passed at the October meet
ing altho the commissioners are priv
ileged to omit in the permanent bud.
get any item they see fit in the tenn
porary budget.
On the 100000 court house item
in the temporary budget, two commits
sioners, DeBow and McNulty voted
yes" while Commissioner Briggs
voted mo-. MI. Briggs explains his
vote by saying that at the time Of
his election three years ago he signed
pledge not to vote for the building
of court house during his four
year term and that he feels bound by
that pledge unless he can be convinced
that great majority of the voters de-
sire to release him from it.
After the October meeting we will
know whether the county seat ques-
ton will be settled by the building OF
a court house or whether like the Old
Man of the Sea it will be riding our
backs in the coming election next fall
and those following until it is finally
settled.

AlRPLANEs NUMEROUS

Eight or ten airplanes passed over
White Bluffs Monday morning, travel
ing west. The planes were returning
to Portland, Vancouver, Wash, and
other points on the Coast, from Spo-
kane where on Sunday they had taken
part in an aerial circus in which two
aviators were killed when one of the
planes fell. Several of the planes that
flew over Monday intended stopping
at Yakima to refuel. In travelling be-
tween two points the airplanes take
the most direct route and the fac.
that they flew over White Bluffs on
tfei: way to Yakima is pretty conclu-
sive evidence that this place is on the
most direct route between those two
points.

the finance officer, ]. E. Leander, and
by him turned over to me was S42.40
making the total amount collected and

For the benefit of the Hanford
readers I wish to state that on Mon

reason unknown to me it has not APP

VISIT THE COMMUNITY
FAIR SATURDAY

Although the dates for the Co m
munity Fair this year were pur.
posely set for time when it was
thought there would be lull in
the fall work. the exceptionally
large apple crop has kept every one
on the Jump aud the exhibits have
been slow in coming in. Most
every one waited until. this, Fri
day morning to bring their show
stuff; in fact. exhibits were being
brought in all during the fore
noon and the stock will not be
brought in until Saturday morning.
There are many interesting and
unusually large and attractive ex-
hibits and it will pay every one to
take few bours{off Saturday to
visit the Fair.

the Milwaukee railroad and by their
contributions, fund of not less than
SIS nor more than $50 has been rails
ed which is to be awarded to the
settler whose tract in the state land
settlement project on the last day of
the Community Fair at White Bluffs
shows the most advanced state of
agricultural development.
kilograms announcing the offer of
this prize have been posted in various
business houses in White Bluffs and
Hanford and as there are several
tracts that show Remarkable Develop
naent, the final awarding of the prizes
will be watched with interest.
The Red Shield Creamery COM
pany helped out at the Fair by con-
tributing a crate of five pound
bricks of their best cheese to be
awarded as prizes as the Fair COM
mittee sees fit.
One of the closing features Of
tie Community Fair Saturday even
Jog will be the big dance at the
White Bluffs Hi auditorium. Mu-
sic will be furnished by the Mystic
Five and the Band. The receipts
are to 60 toward liquidating the
Bands indebtedness. A super is
to be served at midnight.
F. Z. Koppen has received notice
that his exhibits of grapes grown at
his Place at Wahluke, was awarded
second prize at the Spokane Interstate
FAR. There were twelve varieties of
American and European grapes in the
exhibit. Mr.. Koppen first exhibited
his display at the Grant County Fair
at Neppel, where they captured first
prize, and the officials of that Fair
persuaded him to enter the exhibit at
the Spokane Fair. The European
varieties were made up of Hanburgs,
Malvoisies, MaAgas, Romonas and
Tokays.
