SKETCH MADE
FOR CITY HALL.
No Action Taken Yet, Pend
ing Other Plans -
Spend $4,000

The same firm Of Spokane archi-
tects that secured the contract for
drawing the plans of Benton County s
new home, has submitted plans for a
new city hall for Kennewick. The
sketches were on display at the coun-
Gil chambers last Tuesday night and
received favorable comment.
Owing to the fact that but the one
set of plans was available no action
was taken, pending word from other
architects that have been asked to
submit sketches.
The architects guarantee that their
plan can be erected at a cost of a
little over $4,000, which amount is
about as high as the council cares TO
go for this purpose.
AS soon as the council reaches a
decision as to which plan will be ac-
cepted. this paper will print picture
Of the proposed structure and the de-
tails of construction. A vote upon the
proposition will be taken later.

SAYS INSPECTION CORRECT

j. Irving Griner, state supervisor
Of horticulture, stopped in Yakima
last week en- route to the potato show
at Spokane, to investigate reports
from shippers that there was wide
difference in fruit inspections in Yak
ina and Benton counties. A car from
Benton county was found and was re-
inspected by Mr.. Griner, State In
spector E. e. Hill and Federal In
spector F. E. Bailey and found to
conform with the best inspection SER
vice in the state. According to Mr..
Griner, inspections in both counties
are on par.

MARKET
MOST ERRATIC
Peak Prices Followed by
Big Slump Causes Panic
Pool Prices Shown

With the closing of the Big Y pools
the 1925 Jonathan crop goes into his
tory and it is history that will be
referred to in future years as the
most erratic market condition ever
Experienced. The season started off
with the growers expecting high
prices and declined to contract when
favorable prices were offered. This
developed buyers strike and when
harvest arrived there were no buyers.
This caused panic among the grow
ers and they seemed possessed with
but one desire, that Of getting rid
of the Jonathans at any old price.
Prices dropped to the lowest level and
for a time there was no sales for the
poorer grades at any price. After the
furry the market settled down and
prices have steadily advanced and the
late Jonathans will clean up at very
good prices. The Big Y pool sheets
show the following returns:
First pool: Extra fancy. SO and
larger, $1.95; 90 to 125, $1.85; 138 to
1853. s1.65; 175 to 200, $1.25; ZIG to

ecutive shot at an eagle and brot
down flock Of crows which were
destroying the states business crops.
The governor has accomplished
something else which for years has
been the dream Of the solons who
have labored for the best interests
OF the state. He has forced into coali-
tion, the supporters of the five in
stitutions Of higher education of the
state; he has forced them to abandon
their individualistic. selfish ideas to
combine to work for the benefit of
all as a unit. This alone should make
the special session stand out as one
OF the most constructive the state has
ever had. The attack upon the insti-
tutions of higher education, jointly
with the drive against the common
schools, has forced an educational
combination which, if it functions as
a unit, will be Of more lasting benefit
to the state than any recommendation
Hartley or any other governor ever
made.
The first days Of the actual sittings
of the legislature have been filled
with possibilities of ruptures and up
sets, of new combinations and new
organizations. The results have not
been as the average politician would
expect. Instead of being destructive
they will prove to be constructive.
If fight with the governor brings
about clean cut constructive pro-
gram Of necessary legislation, Hart
ley may suffer personally but he has
accomplished by an indirect method
what he never could have hoped to
have brought about directly.

Fish as a STAPLE Food

Everyone who has given any
thought to the subject must have
realized that the fishing industry OF
the United States was prosecuted or
an enormous scale: But it will be
news to many of them that the an
nual catch is over 100000 ,00C
pounds of fish. Analyzing the distri-
button of catch in millions of pounds
we find that the Middle Atlantic
states stand far in the lead,s with a
total catch of S64,000,000 pounds, fol-
lowed by the New England states
with 467,000,000. South Atlantic
states, 333,000,000; Alaska, $4,000
900; Pacific coast states. 2S6,000,000;
the Mississippi river division. 49,
100000; the Gulf states. 1000 900;
the Great Lakes with 104 100000, ard
Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake
with over 100000 pounds of fish.
An enumeration of the multitudin-
Gus craft and the diversified gear
which are used in recovering this
rich store of food from our seas, lakes
and rivers would make story in it
self, and we must be content, Just
now, to state that the total tonnage
of fishing vessels reaches the large
figure of G9,555 tons: the total num-
Der of men employed is 100000. ana
the cost Of the equipment is $751;

Mystery Of Sound Board

The sound board Of q piano, al
though it is actually a thin sheet Of
fir wood, is a wonder not fully under
stood in it's effects Most people know
that every note has u complete and
very elaborate set of vibrations which
give it it's pitch and character, and all
these separate sets are reproduced in
the sound board quite independently.
Even In comparatively simple music
there are frequently thousands of vi
brations going on in that piece of
thin brittle wood. which we can hear
but cannot see; and with all the
crossing and recrossins OF the vi
bration lines which must take place
there Is never any confusion, and it
IS possible to select any group of vi
bratons as the one to which we can
pay the most attention. Perhaps
even more wonderful is the fact that
the piano maker can make the board
susceptible to different kinds of vi
bration without knowing how he does
it.

PISTOLS IN THE MAILS

It would seem to be within the
power of the Government to prohibit
the sending Of pistols through the
mails. It Furthermore would seem
possible for State to prohibit the
sale of publications containing adj
vertisements of pistols to be sent
through the mails.
All this might or might not accom-
plish some good. but the chances are
that it would prove beneficial. Our
wits have come to anything but a
pretty pass II we are to be stump

men.
AS matters now are the Postofflce
Department permits the sending In
the mails of pistols into states. the
laws Of which provide that only
those duly licensed may have legal
possession Of these weapons. Thus
does the Federal Government permit
encroachment on the prerogatives OF
the States. much after the manner
for eign governments permit their
flag to protect the smugglers OF
liquors into this country in defiance
