APPLE PRICES
NOT SO AWFUL
Big Y Reports S2.42 to
$2.95 for First Pool of
Jonathans Shipped

That the gloom that prevailed
during the harvesting of the Jon.
athan apples was not wholly justi.
fled is shown by the returns re.
ceived by the Big Y just made
public. The pool for the week end.
ing August 14th, the average f.o
b. price is $2.42 per box, while the
large extra fancy brought as high
as $2.95. This was the first car
exported from the northwest to
arrive on the English market
which accounts for the exceptional
figures. Pool ending August 21st,
brot an average of $1.76, with
1925 as top. August 2Sth brought
$1.S0 while the pool of September
4th brought only $1.0O. These
pools included all of the Jonathans
shipped out of the Kennewick-
Richland district by the Big Y.
Later pickings did not bring the
cost of harvesting.
This is another striking illustra-
ton of what the early climate
means for the growers of this fav-
ored section.
The Bartlett pear pool also clos
ed at much better figure than
was anticipated. Number 1 cam
ners brot $50 a ton, No. 2, $23;
No. 8, $1S and No. 4, $15. Packed
Bartletts brot $1.24 for fancy 165
and larger and 94c for small pears.
C-grade brot S3c and 72c. While
these prices are much lower than
received in former years, when
compared with the price offered
at harvest time, they are consider
ed very satisfactory.
The pear market has ruled low
for the season. 1t is now showing
some signs Of recovering. The Big
Y still has ten car loads in stor-
age which they are holding for
the late market. They are the D.

WHITE LEAVES

Word has been received that
Gull White has leased a tract of
range in the Colville Indian Reser-
vation on which five thousand ewes
of the White Sheep company will
be wintered and lambed. This tract
has a frontage of twenty-seven
miles along the Columbia river
and an average width of eight
miles. 1t is part of an old cattle
range set aside by President Grant
In the seventies and includes some
of the choicest grass sections in
the state. In past ten years sew
eral hundred Indian horses have
been killed in this district alone
which has materially improved
the grass. The government agency
over two thousand horse
hides shipped out of the little town
of Nespelim in past two winters.
The Kennewick, Kiona and Ho-
yer ranges of the White Sheep
Co. have been released to Coffin
and Son.

BENTON CITY
HOTEL BURNS
Landmark Of Town is De.
stroyed by Fire Early
Tuesday Morning

The Benton City hotel was burn
ed to the ground early Tuesday
morning. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000, about a third of
which was covered by insurance.
The building, three story struc-
ture of plaster and stucco, was
erected by S. j. Harrison, back
in the boom days, when it was
planned to make Benton City the
center of the county, if not the
county seat. The building was the
largest in the town and was a
landmark of the community. The
fire was discovered on the top
floor and burned so slowly that
practically everything was remov-
ed from the building.
AS Benton City has no water
system, no effective fight against
the flames could be waged. A call
to the Prosser department was un-
answered owing to the fact that
it has no chemical.

CARPETS AID ACOUSTICS

If, when the time comes for the
soions to occupy the legislative
halls in the new capitol building,
anybody objects to walking on car
pets so deep THAI he sinks in them
up to his ankles, put that objector
down as a person who "does not
know his onions" Everything
about the new capitol has been
inquired out by an expert and the
depth of the carpets was demand
ed by an acoustics engineer. Over
the floors is to be laid a mat half
an inch thick and on top of that
comes a carpet slightly thicker.
Inc acoustics of the old house
played havoc with the oratory and
the carpets in the new building
are a part of the scheme to protect
the acoustics of the marble halls.

PASSES AWAY
Kennewick Pioneer Dies
After Short Illness
Buried Monday

Jabez B. Thomas, resident of
Kennewick for fifteen years, died
at his home here Saturday, Novem-
Der 27 after being confined to his
bed for only a few hours.
Death was caused by an embolus
in the lungs and the suddenness of
his passing came as a great shock
both to his family and,a host of
friends. Mr.. Thomas came to Ken
newick on October 1, 1911, and
has resided here continuously since
that date.
He was one of our leading citi-
zens, always took sympathetic
and intelligent interest in welfare
movements of every kind, and
could be depended upon to do his
part, and more, in any undertak-
ing of public nature for the bet
terment of the community in which
he lived. Kind and sympathetic,
good natured and cheerful, he had
many friends and no enemies. and
his going leaves vacant place in
our ranks that will be felt by the
entire community.
Mr.. Thomas was a member of
Kennewick Lodge No. 153 F &
A NJ and the local Scottish Rite
bodies. He was buried with full
Masonic honors by the lodge of
which he was member. He was
also a member and Past Worthy
Patron of Alma Chapter No. 100,
o.. E. S. and took an active part
in the work of this order for a
number of years. %. ....@. 80

WILL BE DRY
CANDIDATE
Billy Sunday Says He
Will Run for President
Has Large Audience

Probably the largest audience
that has ever gathered in Kenne-
wick was present at the Methodist
church last Monday night to hear
the noted evangelist, Billy Sun
day, give one of his, interesting
sermons. Nearly twelve hundred
people were present, every seat in
the large auditorium being occu-
pied, with eleven and twelve peo-
pie crowded into ten-seat pews.
Chairs were placed in the aisles,
in the doorways, on the platform
and in the smaller rooms opening
into the main hall. And number
of persons stood thruout the eve-
ming.
Heralded as the country's fast
est speaker and slangiest evange-
list, the large audience was not
disappointed. Taking his text from
First Peter, third chapter, fifteenth
verse: But sanctify the Lord God
in your hearts; and be ready al
ways to give an answer to every
man that asketh you reason of
the hope that is within you with
meakness and fear. Mr.. Sunday
began his sermon in the rapid-fire
style that he has created. Illus
trating his points by stories filled
with human interest and up-to-the-
minute slang, he held the audience
at close attention thruout his dis
course.
Touching on the liquor question
he said that he. who purchased the
forbidden spirits was just as much
crook as the seller and sooner
or later would receive a fitting
punishment. He said that if the
republicans put up a wet candidate
for president, and the democrats
nominated Al Smith, that he would
become candidate on the dry
platform. ''No man can become
president of the United States on
platform supported by whiskey
barrels" said Mr.. Sunday.
Nervous to a degree, Mr.. Sunday
illustrated his points with all the
gestures and antics of the profes-
sional baseball coach, ending with
a plea for converts. a.

seals thru the mail is being used
extensively as experience has
shown the universal convenience
and effectiveness of this method.
The distribution of 10000, 900
seals allotted to Washington has
been completed and already the
reserve stock carried by the WASH
ington tuberculosis association,
state agent for the sale, is being
drawn upon by chairmen whose
stock on hand is being threatened
by depletion.
Attractive posters are blooming
in unexpected places on bill-boards

popular automobile windshield

posters greet the eye on every
hand.
The goal sought is five seals for
every man, woman and child in
the state. 1t is easily obtainable if
each will do his part, remembering
that this little seal, carrying this
year the design of three brightly
garbed ninstrels, is the greatest
weapon in the fight against tuber-

these Christmas seals. .-
