GET BURGLARS
HIGH SCHOOL,
Local Officers Have Job
Landing Pair One
Has Record

About $50 last Tuesday evening
chief of Police G.. E. Duffy was
s1.rned that some prowlers were
about the high school, and in COM
nany with ]. B. Hayden made an
Investigation which resulted in
the arrest of two burglars after
= hour of skirmishing, gun shots
and general excitement.
The officers thought at first
that they had simple job of rout-
;ug out some local boys, but when
Duffy entered the building he
fmnd he had real task chasing
some experienced night workers,
and got outside the building to
ureyent their escape while he sent
for more help to guard the four
sides Of the building. He fred sew
eral shots to hold the intruders,
and while Hayden was watching
TWO sides, ran to E. c. Smiths
who Joined the officers after phon-
ing Deputy Sheriff MeGee.
Before aid arrived however, one
Of the burglars jumped from a
second story window and can.
Hayden emptied his gun at him
but it was unnecessary as the fell
low had sprained his ankle and
had to stop. This man stoutly
maintained that he was alone, but
Duffy was sure he had heard more
than one running in the building.
Investigation proved this to be
true as the chief after searching
most of the building, found sec
ond man hiding on the third floor.
The fellow meekly surrendered,
saying "It's hell to get picked up
on second story job like this
one."
This second man proved, as
Duffy guessed, OF be 'shard bird"
Finger prints revealed that he
had record for serving time IN
both Kansas and at Walla Walia.
His real name is Edgar Cooper,
but he was sent to Walla Walla
on a burglary charge under the
name Of Jack Logan in 1924. He
was sentenced to serve from 5 to
10 years, but was paroled by Gov.
Hartley last December. Search OF
this man revealed a flash light,
some jewelry, souvenier coins and
FIVE dollars in cash. He is about
Is years old.
The other man was but 10 or
20. He said his name was Jack
Warner and claimed Baltimore as
his home. The officers are unable
to find a previous record on this
fellow, who intimates that he will
probably plead guilty. Cooper.
however, will be sent back to Wal
Ia Walla to finish his term with
out the expense of trial.

TO HOLD FAIR
IN SEPTEMBER
Committee Decides This is
No Time to Quit -
Lundy President

At a meeting of the Kennewick
Fair association Friday evening
it was decided that no reason in
the world existed why this COM
munity should not put on another
show this fall, as the district is
to have bumper crop, and busi-
ness conditions are such that the
officers feel the fair will surely
be financial success.
It was pointed out that the Ben
ton county display took the first
prize at the state fair last year
with a display assembled mostly
from products shown at the local
fair, and it was felt that in spite
of financial adversities that the
local organization was under obliy
cations to continue the good work,
and again attempt to get into the
money at Yakima, where the state
fair will be held the week begin
ming September Goth. With this
idea in view the committee decid-
ed to hold Kennewick's fair, Sep
tember 18th and 18th.
DR.. R. L. Lundy who had pre-
viously stated that he could not
again serve as president of the as
sociation was prevailed upon to
again accept the office of presi-
dent, with C. C. Williams vice.
president and Lester STRAIN secre-
tary-treasurer. The followin g
chairmen of the various depart
ments were also named: A. /
Smith, agriculture; j. Perry, hor-
ticulture; J. Calvin Rorick, live
stock; j. N. Weldy, poultry; Mrs,
j. A. Hatch, home economies; Mrs.
A. C. Anon, art; Mrs. G. CARRIER
antiques and curios; Gertrude
Gage, boys and girls work; Joe
Martin, novelty and L. F. Semon
publicity.
The American Legion has beer
asked to put on queen contest
or some other stunt that will ere
ate interest and help provide funds
for prizes. The committee believes
it will not be necessary this yeal
to make any large expenditures
as materials valued at severa
hundred dollars have been accum
ulated in the past few years. The
committee has decided to NEE
once a week to work out furthel
plans as the season progresses.

BANKS INTERESTED
IN FRUIT TROUBLE
Clearing House at Yakima Calls
Meeting of Valley Bankers
To Talk Troubles

With a hope of aiding in the
solution of the marketing troubles
being faced by the farmers of
the valley, L. r. Rightmire presi-
dent of the Yakima Clearing House
association, has called a meeting
OF the bankers of the valIev for
tonight to discuss ways and means
of helping the farmers market
their fruit.
The bankers are especially in
terested at this time because tba
sprayed fruits will soon start upon
the market and they are fearful
OF a REPETITION of the arsenate Of
lead troubles. California is already
having pears condemned on Lhis
account. and the valley pears. are
probably just as well covered with
the same poison.

RECORDS MADE
ON ASPARAGUS
Three Rivers Handles Big
Crop with Success
This Season

When pressed for statement
as to the average price received
for asparagus this year, Manager
Lee M. Lampson Of the Three Riv-
ers Growers association stated
that we could tell the world his
concern had averaged $1.45 for
number one stuff and the net price
to the grower would be approxi-
mately $1.3O, the highest price ev-
er received for grass in this dis
trict with one exception.
He stated that he had sold 9O,-
900 crates, 81 per cent of which
were shipped to distant points in
carload lots, which fact Mr.. Lamp
SON believes is largely responsible
for the satisfactory prices recelv-
ed. Last year the association hand
led about $4,000 crates with only
10 per cent of the shipments going
to distant markets. "We even sold
four cars in Toronto" said Mr..
Lampson, (which gives an idea as
to how we have expanded the mar
ket for grass He stated another
feature this year was the long sea-
son for asparagus shipments which
covered a period of 80 days, COM
pared to As or so days marketing
! in previous years.
The associations returns on
Strawberries showed $3.41 pei
crate, net to the growers and Mr.
Lampson feels that many farmers
in this district are overlooking q
fine opportunity by not putting
in more Clarks Seedlings.
The spud market has dropped &C
s25 as all districts now have new
potatoes. Over two-thirds OF the
local crop was sold early but there
are probably so carloads left il
the district. e

LOTS OF MURpHIEs

Benton City is harvesting one
OF the biggest early spud crops ill
ITS history according to Inspector
y. B. Roberts who has charge Of
the work in that section. He re-
ports one hundred fifteen cars
shipped out to date with approx
mately twenty-five cars yet to go.
IN many cases late spuds are be-
ing planted as soon as the early
crop is off and the acreage of the
iate varieties will be as great if
not greater than of the earlies.

KEENE TO ASK
REGISTER AID
Officers in Town Wanted
as Convenience In
Registration

The election laws of this state
require registration before parti-
cipation in an election. In the rI-
raj precincts a complete new reg
istration is required every four
years and the law provides that a
registration officer be appointed
for each precinct. Many times the
registration officer lives at some
point not easily accessible and the
law goes on further to provide
that the board of county commits
sioners or any county may, for the
convenience of voters, designate a
legal voter of such county at some
convenient place to be the regis
tration officer for one or more
such precincts outside of incorpor-
ated towns and cities.
County Auditor Keene is rec
ommending to the commissioners
of Benton county that in the next
appointment of registration offic-
ers a person be named at Presser,
Richland and Kennewick to handle
the registration for all the sur
rounding precincts, instead Of
naming a person in each precinct
for the work. It is thot that this
will prove much more convenient
for the voters and should give
greater satisfaction than the pres
ent method as everyone is in town
quite often and registration could
be made there at any time withou;
a special trip being made. Sugges.
tions as to the desirability Of THU
proposed change would be wei
coined that the wishes Of the vot-
ers might be determined in ad
vance of the change being made.
No difference in books for eacl
precinct would have to be providea
and the cost of registration woul.
otherwise be the same as under th'
| present system but it is thot tha
it would be much more convenien
for the voters. What do you thinl
about it? Drop your commissions
or county auditor a line or cal
them up and give them your ide.
on the matter.

CROP REPORTS
ARE NOT GOOD
Desgranges Says Uncle
Sans R ort Shows
too Many Apples

haL . 3 &
The government crop report
compiled July 1, indicates a much
larger crop of apples for the Unit
ed States than was grown in 1925.
Production last year was 164,616,-
600 bushels with. estimates this
year placed at 2Os, ALP, 900 bushels.
That part of the crop estimated
as commercial" and figured in
barrels shows an estimated in
crease from 31,8O9, 90 in 1926 to
37,514,000 in 1926.
"This report makes the outlook
for high prices look very dubious. .
said H. w. Desgranges, manager
of the Big Y, who felt that the
report was probably pretty ac-
curate statement of conditions to
date. He stated it simply meant
also, that the lower grades of ap-
pies would not be packed this year.
In the opinion of J. w. Vickers,
however, there is probable over
estimate, and also the possibility
Of early freezes catching the COM
mercial crop in New York and
other eastern states. He pointed
out that the crops in these states
are unusually late this year and a
freeze before their maturity would
completely reverse market condi
ditions.
The July report estimates a O.
100000 bushel cut in the wheat
crop and II, 100000 bushel increase
in potatoes.

NEW BUILDING,
BEGS MOULTON
Pleas for Kennewick At
Portland for P. P. &
L. Store Here

The governing board of the Conn.,
mercial club became so concerned
over the activities Of Pasco to Sc
cure the Pacific Power G. Light
Co. store, which was burned here
last week, that a demand was
made upon M. M. Moulton to go
to Portland and present the claims
and desires of this city for re-
construction Of the building at
Kennewick.
The company officials gave Mr..
Moulton a most COURTEOUS hear
ing as he pointed out the desires
of this city for continued support
by the p. p. & L. Co. He did not
attempt to deal at length on the
fact that .Kennewick railroad fa-
cilities We're superior to those of
Pasco, but confined his argument
largely to the ambition of the
community to hold what it thot
rightfully belonged to it. He told
the officials that their city, Port
land, would not. miss the loss Of
such store, but the removal here
would have a disheartening effect
upon Kennewick.
Mr.. Moulton stated that removal
even meant more than the loss
of the store, and frankly admitted
that Kennewick had real asset In
being able to point with pride to
the fact that company like the
p. p. & L. had selected Kennewick
as their trade center in the North
west. He made his plea mostly on
the point that Kennewick just SIM
ply wanted this store.
Mr.. Lewis A. Macarthur, gener-
al manager of the company was
equally as frank with Mr.. Moulton.
He did not infer that Kennewick
was not the best location from
point of service for his company.
but stated plainly that rebuilding
here had been held up mainly be-
cause of high assessed valuations.
placed upon his company's pro-
perty in Benton county. He COM
planned that assessors used invoice
values on their Kennewick store
stock for assessment values, but
did not follow the same practice
or make such high valuations on
private concerns.
Mr.. Moulton did not attempt to
defend any discrimination imposed
upon the company, but assured
Mr.. Macarthur that his city was
made up of fair minded citizens,
who could offer nothing in induce
ment, but had a desire for fair
play with all classes of property.
He pointed out that Kennewick
had not Joined in vicious attacks
upon the power company simply
becarse it was corporation, and
informed the officials that the
state tax commission was now fix
ing utilities values, and assess
ments would be the same whether
the new store was built in Kenne-
wick or Pasco.
While Mr.. Macarthur was nom
commital, he assured Mr.. Moulton
that he appreciated the fair atti-
tude of the city of Kennewick in
dealing with his company, and
that this angle would be taken into
consideration in the company's fu-
ture activities. He stated however.
that a promise had been given TO
Pasco that the company would in
vestigate site on that side of the
river before decision was made.
He expected this investigation to
be made this week.
