MILWAUKEE DINING CAR
Superintendent here

This Valley had as its guests last
Wednesday. L. M. Jones, Superinten-
dent of Di+ing Car Service, and w.
L. Ennis. Supervisor of Refrigeration,
both Of the Milwaukee Railroad at
Chicago, whose mission here was to
look over the field with a view to
purchasing for the Milwaukee din
ing car service all vegetables and
fruits suitable for use on the dining
cars, as the needs of the company
might determine. In line with the
statement made by Mr.. Byram when
visitor to this Valley some months
ago, it is the railroads intention to
feature the Valleys vegetables and
fruits on the menu cards, with appro-
pirate advertising. ps
It is also the intention of the rail-
road company to purchase what it
may need of the best and most choice
fruits Of the Valley to be rendered
gratis to the patrons of the dining
cars with the compliments of the
railroad and the Priest Rapids Valley
The dining car needs, for starter,
will be light, according to Mr.. Jones,
but purchases and shipments in
greater quantities will undoubtedly
develop later. 1t will begin with
strawberries and be followed by all
vegetables and fruits in season, such
as new potatoes, cantaloup water
melons, cucumbers, corn, cherries,
peaches, nectarines, apricots, grapes
of all kinds, pears, apples, etc. Pur-
chases made Of vegetables and fruits
for the railroad will be paid for by
the railroad company direct to the
growers, vouchers reaching the grow
ers 80 to 40 days after purchase. The
top market price will be paid for
such purchases, the commodity at all
times however, to be the very best
that can be purchased.
The refrigerator service mentioned
by the Milwaukee officials at the lun-
cheon at White Bluffs on April rs,
will be established from Valley points
to Seattle. beginning Monday, May
10; and Mr.. Ennis authorizes the
statement that this service will be
continued on to Spokane and points
east as quickly as the farmers of the
Valley will establish markets in that
direction. Mr.. Jones also stated that
it was the intention to run refriger-
ator car to Chicago once, and per-
haps twice, weekly in the near future
with dining car and other supplies,
and that space in this car would be
available to the farmers of the Valley
for shipments of Lei. vegetables and
fruits, Spokane, Avery, Missoula,
Butte, Deer Lodge, Three Forks.
Bozeman, and other points east. Such
service should be of great value to
the growers of the Valley.
In company with Fred M. We'll,
Special Agent. the party left for Seat
tie. via Othello, Wednesday evening.

ASPARAGUS PRICES UP

Up until Tuesday evening of this
week the Three Rivers Growers AS
sociation had shipped 80 cars of as
paragus this season.
And the grand and glorious" thing
about it is that the beginning of this
week the price advanced to $500 a
crate (. o. b.. Kennewick.
This is an unprecedented quota
ton for asparagus with the season so
fat advanced and Mr.. Lampson said
Tuesday that he had two more cars
sold which would go either to Ruf-
falo, Philadelphia or Detroir
The demand continues strong, in
fact, greater than the supply.
Mr.. Lampson is of the opinion that
cutting will continue for at least an
other thirty days and that this will
be the record year in the asparagus
industry for the Yakima and Column
bia River Valleys.-Richland Advo-

STATE TRACTS TO Be
SOLD ON june 1ST

Tuesday, June l, at Prosser, has
been fixed by the state as the time
and place for the sale of the unselect
ed tracts in the state land settle
mcnt project in this valley.
The sale is to start at 10 a. m. an6
the tracts are to be sold separately
at public auction. Thirty-nine tracts
of appr oximately twenty acres each
are to be sold. The tracts and the i'm.
rrovements thereon have all been ap
praised, the appraised value running
from $500 for the lowest to $1275 fol
the highest per tract.
The total appraised value of the 80
tracts is $34,o25, while the state has
an investment of $1e2,257 in the pro
rerty.
The tracts will be sold for not less
than the appraised value and upon
the following terms and conditions
Net less than one-tenth of the pur.
chase price must be paid at the time
of the sale and one-tenth of the pur.
chase price must be paid annually
thereafter, with interest on ali de-
ferred payments at the rate of six pei
cent per annum: Provided that any
purchaser may make full payment ol
principal and interest at any time and
obtain a deed. The first installment
of interest will become due and pay
able one year after the date of the
contract of sale and thereafter all in
terest will become due and payable
annually On said date.
NJ lid 1acc kIa,, %b q
appraised value of each parcel oi
land offered will be accepted.
All sales of these tracts are made
subject to the reservations of oils
gases, coal, ores, minerals and fos-
sill of every name, kind and descrip-
ton, and to the additional reserva-
tions contained, in Section one Of
Chapter 14o of the laws of 1917.
In the published notice of sale
the legal description of each tract
was used instead of the numbers
placed on the tracts by ]. c. Scott
This may be confusing to prospec-
tive buyers but the Spokesman has
traced these descriptions out and will
furnish the tract number and apprais-
ed value to any one interested.
There seems little doubt that every
tract will be sold for at least the ap-
praised value, for this appraised value
represents less than half of what the
state has invested in each tract and in
great many instances it is less than
a tenth.
The set of buildings cost the state
approximately $500 per tract. Figur-
ing the land at SIS an acre, which
every one will agree is sufficiently
low when compared to similar land,
would add another $500. The cost Of
the well on each tract will run around
$500 and by adding another $500 for
fencing, leveling. ETC., the value Of
each tract will run around $4,000.
The terms of onc-tenth down and
ten years on the balance will also be
an inducement to any one interested
in owning and developing a tract of
land for a home and a farm.

WHITE BLUFFS WINS

The best thing that can be said
about the ball game last Sunday is
that White Bluffs won. AS a high class
exhibition of the national pastime the
game left several things to be de-
sired. The home boys, while hitting
better than usual made several bob
bles, especially in the inield and the
Othello club was off in both it's hit
ting and fielding. The big thrill of the
game came in the third inning, when
with the bases full and two down
Helge Swanson connected for two
Dagger to center, clearing the bases
and taking third himself on the throw
in. White Bluffs scored fve runs in
this inning, which really decided the
game.
Schumacher for Othello started off
as though he were going to duplicate
his feat Of the week previous in shut
ting cut the local club. After the big
blow-up in the the third, however, he
pulled himself out of the box and a
soutripaw went in and finished the
game. Swannie's arm is still sore
and julius Ross of Hanford pitched
for White Bluffs. Julius pitched a
nice game, mixing his underhand ball
with fast and slow ones. and with air
tight support would have got by with
only one run charged against him.
The final score was to 3.
Dimond was back in the game for
the first time this season and played
second. While his fielding showed
lack of practice he looked good and
will greatly strengthen the club if he
can be induced to play regularly.
Howard Cox Of Hanford went in as
a pinch hitter in the third and caught
the rest of the game, Helge Swanson
going into center field. Helge con-
nected for a couple of two baggers
and played a nice game in the field.

Because of an epidemic of other
meetings Tuesday evening, the stock
holders meeting of the White Bluffs

poned the meeting to a date to be an

will be full attendance. r. r.

ers thereby breaking his record by

number Ruth was positive he could
make.
In all probability Ruth would have
broken his record this year had op-
posing pitchers not given him so many
intentional passes.
When the pinch presented itself,
couple of runners on and Ruth up, the
opposing pitcher was invariably orr
dered to walk him.
A number of other managers insisted
that their pitchers give Ruth no good
balls to hit and always pitch to his
supposed weakness.
All these things tended to curtail
Ruth's chances to take his healthy
swing.
1t is really surprising that Ruth
made as many home runs as he did
considering the handicaps he was con-
stantly working under.
Mack and Speaker
| Two American league managers,
| Connie Mack and iris Speaker, adopted
most drastic measures in an effort to
keep the Babe in check.
! have seen the pitchers of both
these clubs give Ruth an Intentional
pass with a man on first and their
team in front by only one run.
Franking Ruth to first in such sit
uation is ordinarily considered bad base-
ball, since it puts the winning run on
first if the team in the field has only
a lead Of one run.
However, Mack and Speaker used
! such a system during the season just
! closed and both have the statistics to
| prove that they profited by the pro-
/ gram.
While Ruth doesn't time the ball as
The did in 1921, when he 'made the So
home runs he is still the greatest
threat in baseball.

RHEUMATISM

IT'S GONE! That awful agony!
Il Rheumatism can't stand the rich,
red blood that S. S. S. helps Nature
build.
But rheumatism will bring pain and
misery to your joints and muscles just
as long as you are without plenty OF
rich, red blood in your system.
It's the red-blood-cells that S. S. S.
helps Nature build that drive out Of
your system the impurities that cause
rheumatism. And until you do build
up your blood to where it is pure and
rich and red, you simply can't get rid
of rheumatism.
And S. S. S. is the thing. Red blood
conQuers rheumatism. Everybody
knows that.
S. S. S. means millions Of red-blood-
cells-means health all ~
over. No more rheuma,
tism. Nights of rest-l
days of joy, filed with \0.AA.J
the happiness Of accom-
plishment - made pos
sible by body brimful
of red blooded life, energy and vitality.
That's what the end of rheumatism
means-that's what S. S. S. brings to
you. Get S. S. S. from your druggist.
The larger bottle is more economical.

ONLY TEN DAYS
LEFT IN WHICH
TO REGISTER

Only ten days remain in which to
register for the general election of
November 2. The registration books,
which have been open since Septem-
Der IA, will close at S O'clock October
Is, after which they will remain
closed for county, state and national
registration for period of two years.
Including today, IL days remain be-
fore the closing of the registration
books, but since one of these days
is a Sunday, there are only ten days
in which voters can register.
The League of Womens' Voters is
striving to get every voter in the
county registered before the books
close. Mrs. L. J. Tuttle, president OF
the league, stated Monday that the
league now has a captain working in
each street in the city, calling on
voters who are not yet registered.
"The registration for the primaries
was unusually heavy, and we eX-
pect the registration for the coming
election to greatly exceed that Of any
former election Mrs. Tuttle states.
However, to accomplish this, we need
the support of all the people and we
desire to call their attention to the
few days that remain for registration
before it is too late"
Douglas has gained a number of
voters since the date of the pri-
maries through persons becoming of
age in that time or having completed
a residence of one in the state. A
number of persons made the mistake
during the primaries of thinking they
were registered because they had
registered for the last city election,
but an entirely different registration
is required for the state election.
