THURSDAY TO BE BIG
DAY GRANGE WEEK
Population of Kennewick will bs
Trebled by Visiting Delegates
to State Convention

Thursday, June 3rd will see more
neople in Kennewicla than has ever
gathered here at one time before IN
it's history. In addition to our normal
population there are now many tran
sients working in the fruit sections.
Sunday the big crew for the paving
work will arrive and on the 31st a
thousand or so grangers from all ov-
er the state will begin to assemble
here for their annual convention. This
week word was received by the local
committee that on Thursday of that
week 1900 grangers from Yakima
county would swell our population
for the day. Between three and four
hundred cars will be used to bring the
big delegation.

two feet and is still going down.
From present indications it would
seem that the work being done there
will result in this land all being re-
claimed and again made fit for cul-
tivation. Four or five hundred acres
of the best land in the county will
again be made productive instead &C
a feeding place for ducks.
The shovel is operated by two men
and the cost of operation, not taking
into consideration the rental or de-
probation of the machine, is about
eighteen dollars a day. We were told
by the men in charge of the opera
tions that they are digging about
four hundred feet of ditch each day.
The ditch now being dug is about four
feet deep and eight feet wide. Pro-
perty owners affected seem to be
well pleased and the statement is fire.
quently heard that the work being
done is the most effective of any ev-
er undertaken in the county. The ORR
ginal system cost about thirty thous-
and dollars it is stated while it is be-
lieved that the present method would
duplicate the system and give much
better results at a cost of not over
fifteen hundred dollars.
When the work at Benton City is
completed the machine will be moved
to Richland if present plans are ear
ried out and considerable work will
be done there in the district south of
town. 1t is expected that considerable
work will also be done in the Fin
ley district later in the season as
surplus water is rendering q consid-
cradle area there unfit for cultivation.

COUNTY SHOVEL
RECLAIMS LAND
Feeding Places for Ducks
Once More to be Used
as Farm Land

With the idea in mind of rendering
assistance to the various drainage
districts of the county in solving the
problems confronting them in their
efforts to curtail the encroachmcnt
of seepage water, which is every
year rendering increased acreage
worthless, the commissioners last
winter bought Thew shovel for use
in enlarging and maintainging the
drainage bitches in the various dis
tricts where it can be profitably en-
ployed. This assistance by the county
was deemed advisable because of the
fact that in nearly all instances the
drainage systems now in operation
are inadequate and the property with
in the districts is unable to bear the
burden of the cost necessary to put
the sytems in shape to properly drain
the land. AS result of existing con-
ditions an increasingly larger amount
of land is going bad each year and
title to it is passing to the county
for delinquent taxes and assessments,
throwing it off the tax rolls and thus
making the burden heavier on the
land which is still arabic and which
is becoming less each year.
This shovel has been working for
some time in the drainage system
east of Benton City, the management
of which is vested in the county conf
missioners thru petition of the land
owners within the district. The old
ditch has been widened and deepened
from it's mouth at the Yakima river
for about two miles thru that portion
of the valley most in need of drain
age and to say that good work is
being done is putting it mildly in
deed. Land that has been under water
every season for years dried out since
the ditch was deepened and the water
has lowered in many places at least

LADDER HEADS
CHANGE PLACES
Herb Shanafelt Now on Top
Visitors Have a Lot of
Fun on Course

Sunday was guest day on the local
course and Some interesting features
were noted. The outstanding surprise
of the day. was the feat of "Bill''
Marsh who turned in a lower score
than the two leaders on the ladder.
"Bill" went around with Frank Beste
and Herb Shanafelt who were con-
testing for first place on the ladder
and beat 'em. But Beste now occupies
second place on the ladder and Shan
afelt is at the top.
E. S. Mcdonald got a par on the
long seventh hole-a feat that some
Of the clubs best golfers have diff
Guilty in performing. Joe Martin is
another who has talked nothing else
since Sunday terribly bitten by the
bug.
No sport has made such a popular
appeal as golf. It is in fair way
to become "of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people," as Walter
Camp so ardently desired. It's divi-
dends proceed from the healthful ex-
ercise in the open air. It trains the
eye, coordinates the muscles, increas-
es the lung power and accomplishes
a balanced development of mind and
body without the attendant dangers
of most recognized sports. No other
game offers the wide range of par
ticipation, the all-round physical up
building or the possibilities of whole
some companionship out of doors. It
may be enjoyed by old and young of
either sex.

SEES WAY OUT
OF CITY MUDDLE
Council Plans to Straighten
up City's Records
Stricter Collections

The credit of the city of Kenne-
wick will be vastly improved if the
plans now being made by the council
can be carried out. Suggestions made
by E. E. Bassett. of the state audit
ing board to the council Tuesday
night point the way toward clearing
up many of the difficulties that have
beset the present council in their ef-
forts to put the city on a sound fl
naneial footing. "
In his report to the council Mr..
Bassett pointed out that through
incompetency, carelessness and cler-
ical errors starting years ago
with the formation of the first inn
provement districts, the books of
the city are almost irreconcilable.
Leaks, in the form of interest
on bond and warrent indebtedness,
have been discovered that the coun-
cilmen had no means of knowing
about. Interpretations of money
from one account to another have
caused untold troubles and made the
bookkeeping almost impossible. Law
suits resulting from delinquent local
Improvement districts, with their re.
sulting loss to various property own
ers are in process and others threat
ened.
The settlement of these problems
has been before the present council,
in addition to their regular routine
business, nearly every meeting this
year. Suggestions made by Mr.. Bas-
sett point the way out of many of
the city's difficulties. The first move
toward Strengthening up the mess
will be a complete audit of the city's
books, with especial attention to the
local improvement districts. New
books will be opened showing each
transaction with the city in detail.
With this data to work upon the city
will be much stricter with its collec-
tion of taxes and assessments. A spe-
cial levy perhaps will be added to
the budget for the coming year to
cover discrepancies in the various
bond issues.
Mr.. Bassett pointed out that in the
neighborhood OF twenty thousand dol
lars has been lost in the past few
years directly traceable to the incom-
plete records of the city. In addition
there has been a distinct loss felt
thru the lack of credit on account Of
the LID. delinquencies in the small.
er towns. In this list Mr.. Bassett
stated that Kennewick stood high
one of the worst, in fact, in the state.

FINE RECORDS
ON EARLY STUFF
Grass and Berries Make
Fine Showing Ship Peas
i'm Carload Lots

The first car of peas ever shipped
from Kennewick was rolled Tuesday
of this week, with second following
tomorrow. So far as local shippers
were aware, this is not only Kenne-
wick's first carlot of green peas, but
is perhaps the first one ever shipped
from the state.
The recent pea growers association,
disappointed over the slump in the
Northwest market price on peas hit
on the plan of the carlot shipment 70
the east. Local prices were listed at
four and five cents per pound. The
first car was sold at seven cents per
pound here and the second at eight
cents. Both cars were shipped to
Minneapolis.
The peas are packed in crates SINH
lar to the potato crate, with rs
pounds of peas to the crate. Wrapped
in oiled paper, the peas are packed
around a ten-pound chunk of ice in
each crate. This will insure their az
rival on the markets in fresh, crisp
condition. Growers estimate that
there will be at least one more car
load picked this spring. The peas
came mostly from the Hover district,
with additions from Finley and
Richland as well from Kennewick.
With the shipment tomorrow of an
other car the asparagus record this
year stands at SO carloads, in addi-
tion to the local express shipments.
Owing to the slump in the price due
to the entrance in the markets Of
local grass the season has about
reached its end. Many of the patches
have quit cutting already for the
season.
Anticipating about the same tom
mage of Strawberries as last year
which stood at one lone carload, in
addition to the express shipments,
local growers and shippers are more
than pleased at this years showing.
Twelve full car loads have been ship
ped. The berry season has about come
to an end. The quality and prices
have been very satisfactory generally.
Cherries are now beginning to show
up in sizeable quantities and full car
lot shipments will be made during The
coming week. The crop is showing UP
fine and there will be big tonnage
according to all advices.

Iufe Tor years-who trailed with the
Reed majority told this reporter in
Seattle few days ago that he would
run Tor reelection, not as majority
member, but as democrat. He has
an idea that the republicans will be
split SO evenly on Mr.. Hartley that
lO to IL democrats, working together
as democratic party, will be in good
position to swing the legislature. SO
he is urging the democrats to con-
centrate upon the legislative cleo
tions.
The state highway department is
making studies of a plan for oiling
the gravel highways, and will make
experiments on few stretches in the
Spokane district. Under the present
system the gravel roads have a sur
face life of about five years, but it
IS believed that oiling will prolong
the service, besides reducing dust. ].
w. Hoover, supervisor of highways,
is, planning a trip to Oregon to look
into some projects that have been
treated with crude oil. It will require
legislative approval, however, before
the highway department can go into
the oiling business.
Things are again running quietly
in the highway department, despite
rumors of an impending break by Mr..
Hartley. The governor missed three
meetings of the board ca,1sinr Some
to figure that he was keeping aloof
purposely to let the responsibility
rest upon Treasurer Potts and Audit
or Clausen. But Mondays meeting
found Mr.. Hartley on hand, routine
matters were handled smoothly and
all was well. Under Ex-Governor Hart
Olympia paid no attention to meet
ings of the highway board, but now
adays the boys have their ears at the
keyhole every time the board meets
for any purpose. There is constant
expectancy of new row or shake-up.
