Meetings to Explain Details

Taxpayers

The matter of whether the people
of this section of the county desire

entirely to the people themselves and
everyone will have an opportunity TO
express his opinions. Commissioner

or nor fight the deal, feeling that as
long as the people have to pay their
opinion should prevail.
Accordingly meetings will be held
in this end of the county the last OF
the month. The first meeting Will De
held in the Finley hall on the after
noon of Wednesday, July 29. In the
evening similar meeting will be feld
in the Commercial club rooms in Ken

POOR PRUNE IS
BACK IN FAVOR
Boarding House Special to
Make Bid for 400"
Fancy Pack to do Trick

Oh, you poor prune." OF all the
fruits that stand in need of sympa-
thetic attention the prune is it. Ad-
mlttedly one of the most wholesome,
tender and delicious of fruits it has
degenrated to one of the lowliest.
Nor is this the fault of the prune
or the buying public. Not many years
ago the prune was prepared for mar
ket with the same care that kindred
fruits now receive and it stood in
high favor in the best fruit stores.
Now it is sold in the cities only by
the huxters. There is reason for
this. During the war when labor was
scarce, the prune being hardy, was
sorted and dumped into "suit cases."
This being an easy way to prepare
it for market it tended to slovenness
and in recent years not even much
care was used to exclude the culls.
Their appearance was so unattractive
that they no longer found a place in
show windows but were turned over
to the peddlers, which cater to the
cheapest trade. All this is to be
changed. The Big Y is sponsoring
the move.
All Big Y prunes will be brot to
the warehouse where they will be
sorted and carefully packed in a
specially designed neat container with
all the fancy trimmings to entitle it
to enter into the best of society, there
to tempt the eyes and the appitites
of the fastidious trade those who
know good thing when they see it
and are willing to pay for it. 1t is
the belief Of those who are in posi-
tion to know, that the prune can be
brot back into favor with the trade if
the proper care is exercised in pre-
pairing it for market.

ROAD CARAVAN
GETS RESULTS
State Agrees with Benton
County Citizens Better
Highways Needed

The Benton County good roads car
avan which last week returned from
a tour of the principal cities of the
state, did more to eventually get
paved roads thru this part of the val
ley than any other organization has
ever done, according to local men who
accompanied the caravan.
E. j. Miller, Attorney B. E. Nc.
Gregor and Ernest w. Fry were the
three Prosser men who made the trip
A car from Kennewick, bearing Rep.
resentative M. M. Moulton and citi-
zens from Pasco and Richland, Han.
ford and White Bluffs. Vancouver
Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Wenatchee
and Spokane were the principal points
visited.
In the the absence of E. j. Miller
at the Community club luncheon
Tuesday, Attorney McGregor and Mr..
Fry outlined the trip to the club.
Without exception the cities visited
called meetings and after discussion
agreed that Benton county was en-
titled to better roads. All of them,
too, were inclined to the belief that
the proposed north and south high
way should go thru this county down
the Columbia river to connect thru
Kennewick with the Columbia river
highway.
The Benton county caravan carried
maps, prepared especially for the
trip, showing the roads of the Yak
ina valley and the attitudes. Conclu-
sive proof was shown that the only
all-winter auto route to the Sound
country must come thru Benton -coun-
ty and down the Columbia river gorge
to get to the coast. Logically also,
the road should come down the Co
lumbia and pass Priest Rapids to get
from the northern to the southern
part of the state.
Members of the caravan had also
asked that the cities visited help in
having the Columbia River highway
completed down the Washington bank
of the stream connecting Kennewick
with Vancouver. In this way the state
would be benefited by auto traffic,
which at times is too heavy for the
present Oregon road.
Attorney McGregor in his talk
pointed out that the county is now
burdened with highway maintenance
which should be taken over by the
