Also is Here to Press His Suit for Separation from His
 Wife,

New York, Nov. 26 P)-Count Ludwig salm Hoogstraeten is here to press his suit for separation from his wife, the former Miss Millicent Rogers, and possibly to become an American citizen.
 He refused to discuss his pending separation suit upon arrival yester- day. but through his attorney said he was taking his regular place in the German immigration quota with the idea of establishing a permanent residence.
 The count was met at the dock by a federal agent and taken back aboard the liner Homeric for ques- tioninS regarding his residence. The matter was soon settled, however, and examination of his baggage proceeded.
 He said that while he did not know whether he would see his wife before their suit comes up in De- cember. he anticipated meeting his small son, Peter.
 The court allows me to see him four times a week, and I am certain ly going to take advantage of that legal right" he said.
 The count held up his hands in protest to a question regarding his admiration Of American girls.
 Don't ask me anything about girls, whether foreign or American" !" he said. "Remember I'm a married man.

NO BLIZZARDS
SHOW UP HERE,
FruitgroWers Sleep, Save
Orchard Heating Fuel
Records Quoted

Despite the terrible storms that
have played havoc over the middle
west for the past week, the Kenne-
wick valley has so far escaped the
damaging cold weather. From Mon
tana to Texas blizzards and cold
weather and high winds have been
reported during the past week and
local fruitgrowers have been fearful
of it's effect in this district.
During the past week the coolest
night was Tuesday when, in isolated
spots the temperature dropped to 25
above. No commercial damage was
done, as the frost was only in evil
dence in spots which were easily
saved by the use Of orchard heaters.
A north wind yesterday aroused the
fears of many of the growers and
Weather Man Albert Cook was busy
all day at the phone answering in
quiries as to the minimum tempera-
ture. The low mark was 40.

COUNTY LEAGUE
is EXTENDED
Teams from Sunnyside and
Prosser Join-Play with
Pasco Here Sunday

The town boys had nice game OF
ring-around-a-rosy out at the base
ball diamond last Sunday. Wallula
came up and participated in the fes-
tivities. The affair was called off on
account of darkness at the end Of the
ninth with the score at 13 all.
The boys have reorganized their
team this week, combining the town
team and the p. p. & L. team organ
lied last week. A new league has al
so been formed and all arrangements
made for the summers schedule.
The new league will contain teams
from Sunnyside, Prosser, Benton
City. Richland, Pasco and Kennewick.
Two games with each team will be
scheduled, one at home and the other
away. The season will start April
18 and end on the Fourth of July.
Next Sunday Pasco will come over
for a practice game and Kennewick
will return the compliment on the
sixth, when Pasco will play double

FIRST CARLOAD
is WEEK EARLY
Full Carload Rolls to Buff
falo on Last of March
Price is $3.50 Here

Kennewick's first full carload of
asparagus was shipped this year just
one week earlier than last year, set
ting. new record for the valley. The
car was rolled from the Three Rivers
Growers association yesterday and
was billed to Buffalo, and was sold
for $3.50 at Kennewick. The car had
been sold for three days before the
shipment was made. The buyers have
placed an order for an additional car,
even before the first has arrived.
Asparagus has been rolling in fine
this week, according to the local
dealers and another full car load will
be shipped from Kennewick tomor-
row. This in addition to the daily
shipments to the northwest markets,
which at the present time are absorb
ing more than half of the tonnage
of the valley.
The quality of the asparagus this
year is exceptionally high. One buyer
in Spokane telephoned this morning
that he had plenty of California grass
on hand but that it wouldn't sell, and
and asked for big shipment of the
Kennewick product.
In an effort to better control the
Northwest markets asparagus grow
ers up the valley as far as Sunnysidc
have been enlisted as members of the
association. Prosser growers are
shipping the bulk of their crop thru
the association this year and last
night local directors went to Sum
nyside where 81 growers were signed
up, with an acreage of S5. The con-
troll of this heretofore independent
product will do much to prevent flood
ing the Northwest markets with con-
signed grass and will stabilize the
prices in these centers.

were spared to make this last fill

below the wash, the full length of
the break and double plank cutoff
wall was built, carried ten feet into
the ends and brought up with the fill.
This was puddled in on both sides.
Water was kept running into the hole
and the dirt was all dumped into
water and tramped into puddle by the
teams. All gopher holes found were
followed out and puddled. If this fill

MY general observation of the

that the reorganization of the sys-

teachers. Additional burdens and an
increase of at least Is pupils during
the year have apparently had any
thing but a depressing effect upon
staff that has been decreased by
three. The teachers seemed happy and

CONTRACT FOR
PAVING IS LET
Five Miles of Cement Road
to be Built Between
Here and Richland

The contract for paving five miles
Of the Kennewick- -Richland road was
awarded by the state highway depart
ment to J. H. Collins of Occur d'Alenc
Idaho for $141 1884. The Strengthening
and regarding Of the road has been
under way for the past several
months and the work is ready for the
paving to start. The hard surfacing
will extend from the city limits for
distance of 81 miles west.
The Campbell Construction COM
pany of Sunnyside was awarded the
contract of resurfacing with 5000
cubic yards of crushed gravel about
seven and half miles OF the Inland
Empire highway on each side OF the
town of Richland.
These two contracts with three 9TH
ers, constitute the bulk of the states
highway construction expenditures
for this spring and work will be COM
menced on these projects as soon as
the contractors can get their mater
ials on the jobs.
The Kennewick paving job is the
biggest single item in this years
program. It was hoped that the state
could secure additional funds from
the federal highway fund for expen-
diture on this job, but the engineers
stated that no federal aid could be
realized on road that led to toll
bridge.
By a recent law enacted the state
highway department is empowered to
maintain the state highways thru
cities of the fourth and fifth classes.
AS Kennewick comes within the scope
of this law the state will maintain the
streets from the bridge to the city
limits. Surveys have already been
made for eliminating one or two bad
curves.

Change Horses Here for
Final Dash - Reception
for Passengers Monday

The romance of the Old West will
again live in Kennewick next Mon
day afternoon when u. S. mail
stage coach, drawn by four prancing
steeds, will dash into town on its
epochal trip from Spokane to Pasco
to participate in ceremonies attend
ing the departure Of the first Pasco-
Elko mail plane Tuesday, April 6.
Kennewick has been designated as
one of the important points on the
itinerary, and an informal reception
will be given the travellers while
teams are changed for the run to the
next town. The trip has been ar,
ranged by the Inland Empire Rela-
tions committee of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce as its contri-
button to the Pasco-Elko celebration.
The itinerary has been arranged to
have the stage coach arrive here
some time late Monday afternoon.
Cooperating with the postal depart
ment, the stage coach will make the
trip as an officially designated mail
carrier. and at each town along the
route will pick up letters of congrat-
ulation addressed to Pasco city or
mail department officials. Kennewick
persons desiring to mail such letters
should drop them at the local post
office designating "By Stage-Coach
Mail"
c. j. Powell, 63-year old pioneer
horseman, will be one of the stage
coach drivers, and old Dad Warren,
famous in western history as driv-
er of mail and express stages, will
be another. Accompanying the stage
will be at least one old time fiddler,
a winner of Spokane fiddling con-
test, and on portion of the trip. a
representative of Spokane news
paper.
Informal receptions are being plan
ned by each town along the route, the
larger points along which will be
Colfax, Palouse, Pullman, Moscow,
Lewiston, Pomeroy. Dayton. Waits
burg, Walla Walla, Kennewick and
Pasco. Upon its arrival at each town
there will be music by the old fid-
dler, probably a short explanatory
talk by a member of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce, and an ex-
change of maitland then the pictur-
esque dash toward the next stop, with
guns barking, men shouting, and a
swirl of dust enveloping the speeding
coach.
Kennewick will come in for its
share of these programs, and with its
itinerary arranged to reach here late
Monday afternoon record turnout
of the townspeople should result.
Following the ceremonies at Pas
co, where six film companies will be
represented to record the event, the
return to Spokane will be made via
Kahlotus, Washtucna, Eltopia, Con-
nell Lind, Ritzville, Sprague and

ILLUMINATING
SPEECH HEARD
AT G.. G.. MEET

Illuminating, and the proper con-
troll of light, formed the subject of
an interesting talk before the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce this
noon by w. R. Chawner, CONNER
cial agent of the Southern Sierras
Power company.
The talk was given under the
auspices Of the National Electric
Light Association Of New York, and
the Pacific Coast Electrical asso-
citation.
Chawner, who is member of the
Illuminating Engineers Society of
New York and of the A. s. NJ. E.,
will be remembered as the man who
installed the lights for the illumina
tion of the court house several
months ago. He outlined the prin-
ciples of controlling light and pre-
venting gloom, or too little light,
and glare, or too much light.
Light he said, sis the fastest
known element in existence, having
a speed of 10000 miles per second,
while the fastest man has ever trav-
eled is a speed of 300 miles per
hour in an airplane.'
He told of the important part
light plays in the daily lives of all,
and of the amount of research and
experimental work that must be
done in installing huge lighting
systems such as those which light
the way for the night flyers, carry
ing mail through the air.

"The necessity for the AllAmeri-

clearly indicates that the Swing
