BEAVER PoAcnER CAUGHT

F. M. Jones of Benton City was
arrested recently and when he en-
tered a plea Of guilty to a charge of
trapping beaver before Judge Truax
in the Superior Court at Prosser was
fined ninety dollars and sentenced to
ninety days in Jail, the Jail sentence
being suspended during good be-
havior.
The state law requires that any fur
dealer receiving a shipment of furs of
protected animals shall at once report
the same to the Federal Game War
den who shall investigate and deter
mine whether the furs come from open
territory or where it is legal to take
such fur. A shipment was received
by a Spokane fur house from Jones,
the shipment being made from UNA
tilla, Oregon but with the request that
remittance be made to him at Benton
City. This AROUSED suspicion and
several days investigation. led to the
belief that he was trapping beaver in
the Yakima river near Benton City
and taking them to Oregon for ship
ment. One beaver carcass was dis
covered on the ranch near Benton
City where Jones lives. When arrest
ed and confronted with the evidence
that had been secured, he pleaded
guilty to the charge.

new FRUIT LABEL FOR
PRIEST RAPIDS VALLEY

Growers in this valley have for
years felt the need of a special brand
or label for the fruit grown in this
district.
They have prided themselves on the
quality of fruit raised and the care
with which it was put up, and altho
spasmodic attempts have been made
in the past to adopt uniform label
for the whole valley, the fruit has
continued to 60 out under various
labels featuring Spokane, Wenatchee
and Yakima. No fruit dealer who
ever operated here has claimed that
the fruit from this district was det-
r:nent to the different districts fea-
tured in the labels they used, in fact,
most of them will admit that the op-
posite is true. Which raises the cues
ton: Why not label of our own2
The answer to this appears to be
on its way. The Milwaukee railroad.
anxious to do whatever it can of a
beneficial nature for the district, has
through Fred M. We'll, special agent,
been working for some little time on
a label that will feature this valley
and which they hope will meet the APP
prevail of the growers here. The la
bel is white and dark blue, the only
wording being, "P lest Rapids VAL
ley in large letters across the top
and small yellow insert in the blue
with the words, "On the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway" A
blank square about four by four
inches nrovides a place for the indi-
vidual brand of the grower, dealer or
community in the valley. :.
While here last week, M. We'll
.howed a proof of the label to the
various dealers, wat e!lcuses and in
dividual growers, and while a few
changes were suggested, the idea was
given hearty approval by everyone
chem it was shown. Mr.. We'll said he
would work out few alterations and
would then send the label to the rail-
road officials in Chicago for their
approval.

ADVICE TO LETTUCE GROWERS

Watson & Company, head lettuce
growers, with headquarters at Chica-
go, whose representative visited this
Valley a few weeks since with
view to establishing a head lettuce in
dustry here, have taken 100 acres in
the Sequim district this year, where
they believe summer head lettuce
may be grown successfully. 1t is the
belief Of Watson & Company that
spring and fall head lettuce may be
grown successfully in the Priest
Rapids Valley and they have furnish
ed seed FIR experiments this year. For
the benefit of those making expert
ments with and for Watson & Com
pany or for themselves, Mr. VIZ.
Owen, one of their field managers,
has offered the following advice to
growers as to planting:
"The lettuce should be grown in
two rows, IL inches apart, with space
for irrigation "a inches on both sides,
furrowed out or inches in depth,
the same to be cultivated after each
irrigation. / IA to IL pounds OF
seed should be sufficient to plant an
acre of ground and the space between
heads of lettuce should be IA to 10
inches. Irrigation water should not
touch the pant and the roots should
be encouraged to go down for the
water. Care should be taken to not
give too much water; the lettuce will
trrn a dark green color when it needs
water and will turn a light shade
when it has had too much irrigation"
Mr.. Owen will visit the Valley two
or three times during the coming sea-
son to view progress being made by
those growing head lettuce.

DISCUSS WATER CASE

Judge Carroll b. Graves, accompan-
led by Marvin Chase of Wenatchee,
former state hydraulic engineer, was
in the Valley Thursday consulting
with the committee representing the
Hanford water right owners regarding
the proposition of negotiating a settle
ment with the Black Rock Power a.
Irrigation company and in the event
that such negotiations fail to prepare
for another suit in the Federal court
to determine the questions between
the parties not covered In the suit
recently tried in that court. Mr.
Chase is expected to return next
week to go into the engineering fea-
lures and will probably spend two or
three weeks in the field gathering
data along that line.
When the engineering Information is
available, the water right owners will
know what has to be done and what 1t
will cost to put the irrigation system.in
condition to furnish first-class water
right.

previous at Toppenish. Mr.. Ander-
son thinks that pet coyote that he
raised from a puppy this year, but
which straycd off month or so ago,

ing generally believed that this gets
the best results.

BENTON COUNTY may
LOSE TWO COMMISSIONERS

Benton county is facing the posi-
bility OF having two new members on
its board of commissioners. r. w.
McNulty of Benton CITY, and r. H.
Briggs of Kennewick are affected by
word recently received from the state
attorney general in his Interpretation
of new law which takes effect early
in April, says the Kennewick Cour-
ier-Reporter.
The building of the new court
house at Prosser and the Inaugural
ton of new system of road work in
the county calls for the services Of
men who are familiar with present
conditionc, and FEosser citizens es-
pecially are much agitated over the
possibility of having new members
on the board who might not be in
entire sympathy with the plans of the
present board.
The cause of the trouble lies in
the advice that commissioner under
the new law, cannot act as road
supervisor. While specifying that it
shall become the duty of the COM
missioner to supervise road work in
his district as we'll as such other con-
struction work as may be under way,
tho no provision is made in the matter
of remuneration. With the new
court house being built, the commits
sioners would be required to devote
much of their time to this work. The
two men, Mr.. Briggs and Mr.. Nc
Nulay feel they cannot afford to
make the financial sacrifice necessary.
At their meeting Tuesday, ten or
twelve Prosser business men attend
ed the session of the board, expressing
their hopes that some means could be
devised whereby no change in the
membership Of the board would be
required. At any rate, the commits
sioners have decided to hold up their
designations until the April meeting.

Twilight League
Due for Late Start
On 1926 Campaign

The Twilight League baseball
season will start at least a month
later than usual this year. according
to the opinion of Physical Director
Jack Mahan Of the Y. M. c. A. This
would start the league directly after
the high school season closes. With
prospects for a semi pro team less
than nothing at all, interest in the
amateur league bids fair to be great
err than usual. While interest in the
semi pro game Is at a low ebb there
will be enough good baseball ma
terial in the city to furnish some
tight games this year.
Cushnocs, powerful club COM
posed largely of left handed hitters
who have been death to the right
handed hurlers in the league for the
past few seasons will Undoubtedly
be back in the league and their en-
trance will promise the best of them
all sorts of competition. Fast fielders
and mean sluggers, they should be
we'll up in the standing this season.
The Calumet club will be back as
strong as they were last year. The
Calumet club is fortunate In possess
ing one Of the best batteries In the
league and the club Is strengthened
by two, players who do their stuff
regularly for Togus. Beaudoin apd
Giroux both play in the infield and
help bolster the hitting average to
make a formidable club with the
stick.
The American Legion, always
strong contenders and bad club be-
hind either Chetter Harvey or any OF
the several other good pitchers at
Iicnnco1 will MAKO a qfrnncp hid
for honors this year but will have
to show class to overcome some of
the other outfits.
Vickery and Hill has sweet field
ing team with several long hitters
on the roster. With as much mater
ial as any outfit in the city the
Printers are to be considered as dan
gerous until the final game. The
V. & II. crew will have practically all
the old gang back on the diamond
and are good enough to make it in
teresting for all of them.
A talk with some of the Gannett
players failed to disclose as to
whether or not the publishing house
from across the river would have a
team this year. However it is a safe
bet that the Gannett aggregation Will
be in the field again this year. The
team has a couple of capable box
artists in McGouldricll and Albison
and it is probable that they will put
team in the league as usual this
spring.
The Clerks blossomed out as an
athletic aggregation of repute last
winter ard there is enough material
available for Clerks team if it is
decided to form one. The direct
purpose of the league is TO give the
players a chance to keep in good
physical condition and some exciting
games result. The lateness of the
season will give the players plenty
of chance to get into mid season
form before the season starts and
there should be few easy games on
the schedule. A meeting to talk
over plans for the coming year will
probably be called at an early date.
