BE ECAREFULO
DITCH WATER
Manager MuldroW Asks the
Cooperation Of Farmers
Water Out July 20

Now that the summer season is
here in earnest, it is proper to call
attention to certain matters of canal
operation and maintenance.
While the great majority of water
users of the Kennewick Valley are
well informed, fair, and considerate
OF others in their use of water, there
are some who do not seem to realize
the necessity of restraint.
The regulation of water in this dis
trict is based upon state law. In
Washington all water belongs to the
state, and the state proposes that it
be used for beneficial purposes, and
not wasted. No person can own water
in this state, he can only own the
right to use it on his land to the ex-
tent of its needs, without unreason-
able waste. The law makes unreason-
able waste of water crime.
To deliberately run water to waste
in this district, is not only against
the law; it is against the regulations
of the district, against common sense
and decency, and consideration for
neighbors, and also against the in
terests of him who does it. For the
District is a partnership affair. If a
neighbor on light land fails because
he cannot get enough water to grow
full crops-those on the heavier soils
must carry his share of the burden.
Now as to regulation Everyone
admits that this is a necessary evil.
1t would be nice if there were an un-
limited supply of water and every
body could open his gate when he
pleased and close it when he got
ready, but that cannot be done on
system like this. Even when water
is plentiful, neighbor down the
ditch may be damaged almost as
much by throwing an extra head
down on him unexpectedly as by cut
ting his water short.
1t is the aim of the management to
make the regulation as simple as
possible; to avoid arbitrary or bur-
densome requirements, but in the in
terest of good service thruout the
district it is necessary that the SER
vice gates be handled by the patrol
force, as soon as the hot season is on.
There is evidence that few water
users have been doing little regu-
lating on their own account between
the. visits of the ditchwalker. The law
calls this stealing, so does common
justice. There is no difference be-
tween taking neighbor's water and
taking his potatoes or his apples. This
sort of thing must be stopped or
someone will find himself in serious
trouble.
If an emergency occurs so that it
is necessary to handle gate before
the patrolman's next visit. call to
the manager will bring someone to
look after it.
The next weed turnout will PROB
ably be between July Goth and 25th.
Those on light lands especially should
take full advantage of the cooler
weather to get their places well wet
up before that time.

LOSE II TO IL

The base ball team went to Connell
last Sunday and took the worst de-
feat suffered by any team in the en-
fire league this year, the score be-
inp II to IL. At the end of the sew
enth inning the score was 16 to !
and our team was willing to concede
defeat right there. The Connell root
ers wanted to see the whole nine in
nines and so Kennewick gathered
ten more runs in the next two frames
and say they could have won with
one more inning to go.
This defeat, together with a win
by Pasco makes tie for first place.

better BULLS MEAN
BIGGER BANK BALANCES
KENNEbEC IN ACTION

In order to combat with refriger-
ator cars of milk being shipped into
Boston markets from New York
state in order to keep the supply up
with the demand for disease free
cattle ordered from out of the State,
the Better Bull campaign, Is being
launched all over the State and the
kennebec phase of which was in
\ augerated last Saturday in this city.
w. +. knight of Clinton, one of
the directors of the New England
Milk Producers association, called at
tention at a meeting called by the
Kennebec Farm Bureau, that the
greatest need of the milk industry
In New England at the present time
Is lower cost production. This Is
because milk is being shipped in such
large quantities into the Boston
markets at lower prices. Lower
prices are needed to crowd the New
York milk out of the market. A
rapidly increasing demand for mich
cows from Maine, to be shipped to
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut is also noted and this is
because Maine has a smaller per
centage of tuberculosis among cat
tie. In the past the mich COW de-
mnnd was made upon New York and
Vermont. This State, 10 order 10
continue supplying the demand,
must get good producing stock.
The meeting of Saturday was pre-
sided over by Harry r. Hysom of
China, county dairy project leader,
He stated the purpose Of the meet
ing and gave a report of the meet
ing of county leaders held at Orono
in June. He stated at that time
leaders, discussed situations in the
State and decided one thing they
could do better stock conditions was
Better Bull campaign.
Why this time is the best to con-
duct the Better Bull campaign, ac-
cording to r. F. Talbot of Orono,
Extension Dairy Specialist, is be-
cause prices upon pure bred cattle
are lower now than they have been
for a number of years. The college
will be able to render service in the
carrying on of the campaign. The
movement has the backing of the
Farm Bureaus of the State, the
ton and the Maine Bankers Asso-

E. E. Gle of Fayette, one Of the
leading Hereford breeders in the
State, E. w. Towle of Winslow. a
prominent Jersey breeders, H. Har-
rington of Wayne, C. H. Harvey of
Litchfield, d. E. Foster of Augusta
were among the speakers and they
endorsed the campaign.
The conference unanimously vot-
ed to endorse the campaign and the
first step will be a county wide can
vas to see who is keeping bulls and
what kind. Every one present agreed
to go home and call a meeting of
their neighbors and make canvas
of their town, not later than Sept.
20. For this purpose. the campaign

No panic on the part of the peo-
pie of this city has been noticed by
local coal dealers despite the coal
strike which has recently been call
ed. This fact has been determined
by a canvas of the coal men of this
city who report that the demand for
coal thus far has been very little II
any more than that of the average
summer season.
The local merchants are well
equipped to handle situation Of this
sort as they all have large storage
room which can be utilized to store
their coal If it is necessary to order
it early. This they have all done
this year in order to be sure that
they have an ample supply to cover
the normal demand for the winter.
But one more barge is expected here

Distribution Control
Aided by Speed Wagon

Merchants and business men gen.
orally are becoming more and more
impressed with the fact that one of
the most vital elements in merchan-
dising success is control of distribu-
tion," says H. G. Turner, sales rep
resentatives for REQ in Augusta.
"They recognize that, in addition to
having a well-made and well-known
product, they must have the means
mand exists before substitutes are
thrown on the market and competi-
tors reap the harvest.
ITO innumerable concerns faced
with this transportation problem the
Speed Wagon has been a genuine
benefactor. Any number of examples
of this phase of the service rendered
by the Speed Wagon can be cited.
For instance, a large daily paper
in one Of the largest cities in the
world publishes several editions each
day. each succeeding edition coming
from the press within an almost in
credibly short space Of time after the
last one. Most Of the days produce
ton and distribution of newspapers
occurs within four or five hours, and
the major portion Of the circulation
covers an area with radius of
twenty-five miles from the newspa-
per office.
Motor trucks. most Of them Speed
Wagons, enable the publishers to
place their editions on news stands
and in the hands of carriers at points
scattered throughout the city and its
suburbs. The operation Is fast, de-
pendable and economical. and it fur
nishes the solution to major prob
lem for business, which, according
to one of the company's executives,
depends on speed
Bakeries supplying fresh baked
goods to large communities each day
have big distribution problem-or
did have one. Now. thousands OF
them are equipped with Speed Wag-
ons and Speed Wagon fleets that en-
able them to place their fresh pro-
ducts on the shelves of neighborhood
stores at an early hour every day.
1T Is notable that the progressive
and successful merchandisers are
those who have gained control of
their distribution in some such man
ner as these described"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-09-01

this summer, that being barge now
on the way and consigned to Pur-
linton Brothers, with that one excep-
ton the entire coal supply of the
city is now in the yards and a short
age of coal here could only be caus-
ed by the most severe weather con-
ditions throughout the winter.
1t is the unanimous opinion OF the
coal men that an advance in price
in excess of the usual fall advance
will not be necessary and that the
household consumers of the city
need not worry with regard to their
coal supply or any unusual advance
in price. 1t was predicted by one
of the men that the strike would be
over by the time the local supply is
exhausted and that no unusual con-
dition will exist here at any time.
