Yield and Quality Fine in Yakima
Valley Promise to Build
Big Still

Following the exceptional re-
suits which have been obtained on
the west side in the growing of
peppermint, experiments were con-
Quoted in the Yakima valley this
summer to see if this district
were equally suited to this profit
able crop. Eighteen plots were
planted and the results noted.
The Pacific Coast Mint Co., un-
der whose direction the expert
ments were carried on, makes the
following report on the seasons
work in this valley. "We are sat

have been from SO to 70 pounds
of oil per acre, if all of the oil
could have been saved. Have had
the oil tested and quality has been
found excellent"
If the growers who made the ex-
periments care to go into the rails

the Pacific company will build
still in this community for the ex-
traction of the oil.

GARDNER BACK
WITH HARTLEY
Accepts Appointment as
Director of Efficiency
Under Governor

Considerable political signifi
canoe may be attached to the re
turn of A. R. Gardner to the "cab.
met family" of Governor Hartley
He replaces w. G. n. Davis as di
rector of efficiency, marking the
first shift in the governors cabi
net, says Richard Hamilton, The
Courier-Reporter's Special CORE
spondent at Olympia, in his new.
letter this week.
Mr.. Gardner, having resigned
SIX months ago as secretary to the
i governor, means that the Hartley
administration is almost sure tc
change its political tactics anc
methods of contact with the peo.
pie. The indications are that slam.
bang methods will be softened. re.
sulting in a tendency toward lead.
ing rather than driving. 1t is safe
to assume that Mr.. Gardner will
become the chief political coun-
sellor" to the governor, and step
to the front as the travelling COM
panion of Mr.. Hartley as he goes
over the state.
There is another feature worthy
of note. Since Mr.. Gardner left
the governors office, the cabinet
has been without platform
spokesman. None of the cabinet
members can make much of a
speech, altho Director Barnes, de-
partment of agriculture, has oc-
casionally raised his voice on the
platform. The burden of the speech
making, however, has been carried
by the governor. But Mr.. Gardner
is pretty fair platform perform
er. So, it is safe bet that he will
be frequently assigned to carry
the administrations story to the
people.
1t is apparent that Mr.. Gard
ner's return will please most of
the members of the administra-
tion. They give him credit of hav-
ing political talent and diplomacy,
figure that he will brighten the
tone of the administration and
yield safe and popular counsel to
the governor. In other words, it
looks as if Mr.. Gardner is slated
to become Mr.. Hartley's political

HELLO GIRLS ENJOY
UNUSUAL OUTING
Their Horse Back Rides Prove
to be Rough Stuff -
Ask Forgiveness

Sunday was gala day for local
telephone operators. Attired ir
knickers and overalls and with
lunches under their arms, they
gaily made their way to the home
of Miss Oma Dunham near Rich
land. The day was greatly enjoyed
in real old fashioned buggy rides
and horse back riding.
Miss Esther Hatch and Anne
Milsap were the fortunate, or
should we say unfortunate VIC
Tins, of horse back riding. While
the rest of the party, including
Miss Garnet Meredith, Richland
operator and chauffeured by Miss
Margaret Hawkins, traversed the
country side in buggy.
''The first few miles were great"
stated the horseback riders. "But
after that-well, we were game
sports anyway And if Monday
service was not as good as or
binary, the girls ask to be excused
as they said, ''it isn't every day
that telephone operator has such
novel experiences as buggy and
horseback riding"

One of the most favorable feat

The unsuccessful attempt to get
Mr.. Addison to Withdraw in favor

some extent, and Moulton advo-

A new note was injected into
the campaign this week, when it
was announced that Geo. Sellick

will see that the kids restrain
themselves somewhat. Malicious
damage to property will be severe
ly dealt with.
There will be a window washing
orgy along the main street Mon
day, if the kids still think it is
fun to muss 'em up with soap.
The occasion will likely be tame
this year. But twenty years ago
Kennewick was treated to a real
exciting celebration. It was the
time Alex Mcneil, who was then
county sheriff, got shot a couple
of times by some tough shepherd
ers who killed the town marshall
in gun fight down by the N. P.
bridge. It was real time, in which
soap and jack-lanterns did not fig
ure to any great extent. One of
the tough boys got thoroly killed
in the fracas and the deputy mar
shall died as the result Of wounds
he received and one Of the posse
was killed that night also.
That was twenty years ago.
Let's confine this occasion to soap
and punkin faces.

CLUB HOUSE is.
FREE OF DEBT
Will Celebrate Burning of
Mortgage with a Big
=. Free Dance

The Highlands club house is GO
ing to have a fire. The place is
covered with insurance too. And
the members of the Improvement
club are going to be well pleased
with the results of the fire. Being
well pleased, they are going to
put on a big party to celebrate
the occasion. Note-This is not a
notice to the insurance company,
for the fire will consist of the
burning of the mortgage on the
club house only.
This week the officers of the
Highlands Improvement club paid
off the mortgage on the building
which has been the gathering place
for many of the community enter
prises.
Ten years ago at meeting of
the Highlands Improvement club
at the home of w. T. Mann, it's
first president, the suggestion was
made that the club have a perma-
nent home. A little building was
erected on the plot of ground
where the present structure stands
which was donated by the N. p.
l. Co. Five years later, at gath
ering there which crowded the
place to capacity, it was suggested.
by two or three members that an
addition of sufficient size to ac-
commodate the crowds be built on.
That meeting was the week be-
fore Christmas. !. BY New Years
Eve the larger place was in use
housing one of the largest gath
erings ever assembled on the
Highlands.
That night over a thousand dol
lars was subscribed by local peo-
pie to help pay for the building
which cost $500. Another thous-
and was loaned by members Of the
club, many of whom afterward do
mated their notes. In three years,
which were lean ones, only about
$400 was paid off on the principal.
In the last two years the club
has, thru the money taken in from
their weekly dances, paid off the
remaining S1100 on the building.
To celebrate the burning of the
mortgage the club will give a big
free dance within the next month
or so, to which everybody in the
county will be invited. Everything
will be free, given as an express
sion of thankfulness to the COM
munity. Details of this party and
the dates have not yet been ar
ranged.

STICKERS IN
CITY ELECTION
Scouts Secure Victims for
Job Representing the
Second Ward

The approaching city primaries
have almost been lost sight of ir
the mad whirl of the state and
county campaign. Sticker candi-
dates will be used in. this election
too.
There will be no contest for the
office of mayor, c.. A. Crawford
being the only candidate to file,
No talk is heard as to another
candidate for this office. In the
first ward Ole Brue has filed as
councilman to run against HI. B.
Terril, who is up for reelection.
In the second ward there were
no filings made. Two councilmen
are to be selected, there being no
holdover on account of the. two
designations during the last term.
However, two customers have been
found who will agree to serve if
they are elected. j. w. Vickers
states that he will serve if w. C.
Muldrow is elected too. Mr.. Null
drow also has provision tied to
his acceptance. He will serve if
Cap is elected. 1t will be necessary
to write in both names on the bal
lots to elect these men, for the fill
ings were not made in time to
permit their names being printed
on the official ballots.
j. Mcdowell >of the Garden
Tracts will take another term of
serving the city. His work during
the past year has given such sat
that none of his neighbors
has opposed him.
The real contest in the pri-
maries will be for the office of
city attorney, apparently. Both
the present incumbent C. L. Hol-
comb and Phil G. Warnock are
after the job.
The city primaries will be held
IN the Tuesday following the gem
eral election, Nov. 9. The city
general election will be held the
irst Tuesday in December.
