KILLS A GOOSE
WITH REVOLVER
Bill Strickler Brings Down Honker
with % Pop Gun-Hunters
are Lucky

Hunters have been bagging wild
geese in the hills during the past
couple of weeks. Nearly every
day someone reports bringing down
one of the big boys. Pits have been
dug all over the Horse Heaven
hills, and the old decoys have been
wiped off and put into use again.
One of the most unusual occur
ances in the goose hunting line
was the killing of big one last
Sunday with a revolver. Bill
Strickler had parked his car and
was returning to a pit where he
had left his shotgun when a flock
came over. Lying prone he let fly
and brought one down. That's the
first and only revolver shot on
record that bagged honker.

INVITED HERE
Nationally Known Evan
gelist May Come to
Kennewick for Night

Kennewick people may have an
opportunity of hearing the ma
tionally famous evangelist, Billy
Sunday, week from Monday
night. Rev. F. N. Morton, who at
tended one of the Sunday meet
ings being held in Yakima, made
tentative arrangements for his

institute at Winona, Indiana, and

GO to that insiution. He will re-
quire a guarantee collection of
$100 for the evening.
People from all parts of the
state are going to Yakima to hear
this noted evangelist deliver his
forceful sermons, and it is thot
that should he come to Kennewick,
there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing a thousand listeners.

RADIO FANS
GET NEW YORK
Tune in on Hook Up of
% Large Eastern
Stations

Radio fans around KennewicE
were given thrill last Monday
night when a fine program broad
cast from WEAF, New York. was
received on many sets. T. C.
Browne, of the Highlands, hap
pened on to the program first and
the word was soon phoned around
town and nearly everyone who
tried, succeeded in tuning in.
The program was the first Of a
series to be broadcast this winter
under new plan. Twenty-Five of
the larger stations in the east
were hooked up together and the
program was sent out under one
wavelength. By combining the
power of the % stations and les
sening the number of separate
waves the reception was unusually
fine thruout the country.
According to a statement pub
lished in the daily papers, this
program cost $4,000, and it was
estimated that 100000 listeners
enjoyed the offerings of the var
ious artists. Mary Garden sang
three songs, Will Rogers gave a
numerous reading, the New York
Symphony orchestra gave several
selections and the Metropolitan
Opera company had some num-
berS.
It required the services of 100
radio operators to handle the %
stations participating and over
5000 miles of leased telephone
wires were used. ... r.
The western stations are plan
ming similar circuit, the first
unit of which will be on the air
Saturday night of this week when
Spokane, Portland and Seattle will
broadcast simultaneously, with an
all night program. One interesting
feature will be a trio, with one
member in each of the cities.

MINT GROWING
IS EXPLAINED
Think Crop May be Very
Profitable on Some
Valley Lands

Monday night about 40 farmers
and business men met in the
Woodman hall to plan a new indus
try for the Kennewick district
the growing of peppermint and
distlling it into oil.
Omar W. Rich called the meet
ing to order and gave a brief ac-
count of the starting and expert
ment this year. About May 1st
W. J. Turnidge, president of the
Pacific Coast Mint Co., of Port
land called on Mr.. Rich with a
small load of peppermint roots and
asked his help in getting them
planted to test our soil and eli
mate for that industry. With Mr..
Rich, Mr.. Turnidge called on O.
B. Olson of Olson's Island where
the land was almost pure sand, and
j. F.. Schneider who has heavy
volcanic ash soil near Finley, and
T. J. Chalcraft of Richland who
has the general mixed sandy,
loamy ash soil of good depth. All
of these men planted out about
one eight of an acre each of Mr..
Turnidge's peppermint roots. Mr..
Turnidge visited these paintings
three more times during the grow
ing season and took photographs.
The last time he put it in sacks,
labelled and hauled it to Port
land and distilled out the oil.
The results, under unfavorable
conditions convinced Mr.. Turnidge
that Kennewick district could pro-
duce peppermint oil equal to the
best grown in Oregon or any other
place, and get two cuttings yearly
to their one.
So he came to contract to
plant, supervise and distill from
two thousand acres between Ken
newick and Yakima.
Mr.. Olson and Mr. Chalcraft
made reports of their experiences
with peppermint end said they
intended to plant more this year.
Mr.. Turnidge gave history of
the peppermint industry and pre-
sented his contract plans for start
ing around Kennewick. A commit
tee consisting of M. N. Hudnall,
j. E. Hampton of Hover and Lewis
Tweedt, was appointed to arrange
with Mr.. Turnidge for Kennewick
district for the next three, five or
ten years.
There will be another meeting
to which everyone is invited. next
Monday night, November 20 at
the Commercial club, in Kenne-
wick at 8 o'clock.
One of the most interesting
parts of Mr.. Turnidge's talk was
his account of how Mr.. Hays be-,
low Portland, sold $4,000 worth
of peppermint from 12O acres this
year to the Beachnut Co., and also
contracted for three more years to
furnish them 10000 pounds yearly
at SIS per pound or 100000 a year.

SAVES A HORSE

One of the most unusual uses
for an auto wrecking car was made
yesterday when the E. c. Smith
Motor Co. received a call to hustle
the wrecker out to c. G. Days
place and pull a horse out of a
hole. The nag had caved in cess
pool and slid in tail first. With
only his head and front hoofs
sticking out of the narrow hole,
the mechanics accompanying the
wrecker had a job hooking onto
the horses transmission. After an
hours efforts they succeeded in
getting a body hold and the horse
was hoisted out.

CLAIM FAKER
GYPPED THEM
Kennewick Men Found no
Job After They had
Deposited Cash

A. M. Ebbett and J. r. Collins
of Kennewick reported to the po-
lice yesterday they had been bun
coed out of $500 by means of a
trick employed by a man who said
he was Jack Benson. Benson, who
represented himself to be the head
of "Jack Benton & Bros, Eagle
Bldg, advertised for two men to
take a contract hauling cedar
poles to Clayton, Wash, the po-
lice were informed.
When the two men accepted the
job Benson said he would provide
three G. M. C. trucks, but that the
two men must furnish $500 as a
deposit to cover the expenses of
the trucks. Instead of depositing
the money as previously arranged
in the Deer Park bank, Benson
got the pair to hand over the cash
to him.
This was Saturday, and when
the two men arrived to start work
yesterday. morning they. found
Benson had gone and had no of.
flee in the Eagle building. The G.
M. c. truck company never heard
of the man and it was found that
no cedar poles were used at Clay
ton, nor is there a job of that ma
ture in that town. Benson was de-
scribed as about 40 years old and
a good dresser.-Spokesman-Re-

APPLE CROP
is PACKED
Quality and Per Tree Pro-
duction is Above the
Average

The packing houses along apple
row are closing up their rush
season after handling one of the
largest apple crops that has been
grown in this district. Reports
from the various houses indicate
that between $50 and 800 cars Of
apples will be shipped from Ken
newick this year. Last years ship
ments totalled about seven hun
dred cars, and there were S7S cars
in 1923, the largest crop the val
ley has ever produced.
The early fall freeze, which hit
the apple industry thruout the
state, caused a loss here of about
25 per cent, in the opinion of the
apple men. In most sections of the
state the loss was about so per
cent according to reports, and in
some few districts even higher
than that. The Kennewick district
Jared better than most for the
reason of its early season. Quite
a considerable portion of the ap-
Piles had been picked before the
freeze.
Warehousemen are of the opin-
ion that the Kennewick growers
will fare better than those in 9TH
er sections of the west, especially
on the Winesaps. Other districts
are storing. apples which ripened
too soon on account of the frost.
These apples will not keep, even
in storage, and will have to be
dumped soon on the markets. On
the other hand, the Kennewick
crop, which may be held off the
markets until spring, should bring
a fine price. -:
P. A.. Combelic, of the K. Lane
johnson warehouse stated today
that in his opinion the quality of
the Kennewick apples was this
year far above the ordinary year.
The production per tree is consid-
erably higher this year than ever
befoe. While this years total crop
is no larger than in previous years,
many trees have been pulled, both
because of poor varieties and to
thin the orchards. Several big or
chards have had half the trees
pulled to open up the remainder,
while the total production remains
about the same. "-s
During the packing season local
workers in the warehouses, pack
ing and sorting the crop, received
a weekly payroll amounting to
better than five thousand dollars.
This money goes largely to local
residents each year. "
One of the big obstacles the
packers have had to overcome this
year has been the removal of the
spray residue. Wipers of all kinds
have been built and operated by
all of the packers. While it may
not be necessary in another year
to wipe the apples to get by the
inspections, the wipers have come
to stay; because of the big inn
b. r. a E.- .a .-
provement it makes in the appear
ance of the fruit on the markets.
