There was ill- ness In his family that called him nome, but there is another reason why he will be missing In some of the games to be played within the next few weeks.
 He Is in the contracting business in Providence, R. l., and his em- pioyes are working on four struc- lures that must be finished on time. He stated last night that he notified Manager Frank McDonough of the local club of this fact when he agreed to play here and made ar engagements to miss a few games.
 He will be tied up somewhat with his private work for the next three weeks, and rather than have a, bar rage of questions fired at him, he explained that he wanted the hockey fans to know why he would be ab- sent. He stated that he will do his best to appear at all the home games, but he was not sure that he would be able to play in the major ity of the road games.
 After three weeks he will devote all of his time to the game and will not be out of the lineup except for injury or illness or some other un- foreseen occurrence.
 The fans who attended the game last night were just as enthusiastic !. as they were on Monday night and ! there was plenty of excitement dur I ing the contest.
 The All-New Britain football team almost caused the game with the | Hartford Giants 10 be called off for | Sunday. The local management after [ an inspection of the velodrome yes terday, fatly refused to even enter | tain the idea of trying to stage the | game there. Then, ot course, the .

the railroad companies must have
realized that a number of the
eastern Washington counties were
well prepared to defend their cas-

been in court some days, the rail-

In Washington the prospects
point to large crop and especial
ly so since a large percentage Of
the total acreage is in fall wheat.
Wheat has been favored with a.
bundant winter moisture as well
as soaking June rains.
Many farmers have been inter-
ested in the use of new machinery
in handling the drier soils of the
state and a careful check up of
any new methods should be made
at harvest time, when the real
test is evident.
Pasture conditions in the Big
Bend are splendid and demonstra-
lions Of crested wheat grass pas
ture are looking good. This is a
good year in the Palouse region
for the growth of both alfalfa and
sweet clover, which is being wide
~ grown on most farms in this
area to feed livestock.
Poultry The egg market situa-
ton has improved over the condi-
lions of last month, due largely to
decreasing receipts and lighter
storage movement which natur-
ally was followed by return of
confidence and advance in prices,
according to the bureau Of agri.
cultural economics.
Receipts at the larger markets
were lighter than those, of May by
about 20 per cent. A decrease is
the usual thing during this period.
The storage situation is still an
important factor. On June / there
were 100000 cases of shell eggs
and 36,593, 900 pounds of frozen
eggs more than on the same date
last year. The movement into stor-
age has slowed down greatly; but
the total cases of eggs stored will,
no doubt, be greater than last
year.

lions have contributed very large
ly to this increase.

ly to this increase.
The storage of butter by July /
is not likely to differ from that on
the same date a year ago. Butter
prices have remained steady with
range of but one per cent be-
tween high and low quotations of
80 score butter at New York.
Stocks of canned milk in the
hands of manufacturers reached a
new low record on June 1st, as
they were thirty million pounds
below the five year average. This
occurred despite the heavy May
pack.
Taking dairy markets as a
whole, the situation may be briefly
summed up by saying that dairy
markets are on very steady bas-
is.
Tree Fruits -The first crop for
the United States seems likely to
be less than that harvested in any
recent year with the exception of
1921, when late frost killed bios
SONS in a group of states. While
the crop of cherries, apricots,
peaches and pears will be very
short in Washington, a fair crop of
apples is expected in most locali-
ties of the state.
In the fruit belts around the
Great Lakes general prospects
point to one of the lightest crops
In years. In Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and the south Atlantic states
generally, only about one-third of
last years apple crop is expected.
In Arkansas and South Central
states prospects are equally un-
promising. The western states re.
port about three-fourths of last
years apple crop.
The marketing of a part OF
Washington's crop each year in
Europe has been greatly helped by
a representative in England of the
Bureau: of Agricultural Economics
of the United States department
of agriculture. He has been able
to open up and help retain trade.
Growers in central Washington
have been very much interested il
the 200 orchard management two
year survey which has been under
way for some time by the state
college. The first figures of results
from the study of growing ane
marketing are expected to be mad.

Washington Farm Situation

With the peak of the dairy pro-
duction in the country reached, we
can now view the production trend
for the first part of this season.
Nearly all reports on production
reveal increases over last year.
Butter production covering May
shows an increase of six per cent
over May of last year, and receipts
at principal markets have been
running almost five per cent above
those of last June. Most of the
increase occurred during the last
80 days. Favorable weather and
pasture conditions in dairy sec

cessfully defend this phase of the
case. Personally, do not expect
that these matters will be finally
settled or determined for several
years, as they will undoubtedly go
to the circuit court of appeal and
thence to the supreme court of the
United States before being ulti-
mately decided.
So far as Benton county is con-
cerned, we only ask that the rail-
roads pay their fair proportion OF
the taxes, no more or no less and
when they do this, we will be sat-
isfied.

Wheat-W Wheat prices have adj
vanced due to unfavorable crop
news in North America and unfav-
orable seeding conditions in the
southern hemisphere. For the COM
ing season the best official trade
information indicates that the
wheat and rye crops in Europe
will be little larger than in 1926.
This will be sufficient to make up
for probable reduction in mar
lettings in North America and the
southern hemisphere.

Announcement

The Directors OF the First National
Bank of KenneWick, announce the SALE
Of the stock of the bank held by Mr.
L. b. johnson and 7. M. Fine, to %. a
Fechter Of Yakima, and the election Of
the later as President of the bank. Ia
succeed Mr.. Johnson
Of Mr. Fechter, his successor, it need only he
said that he has for twenty-five years been presi
dent of the Yakima Valley Bank and Trust Com
pany, an institution which, during that period Of
time, has increased it's capitalization from $45 900
to S350OO0
He has acquired majority holding of the stock
of the bank, and while not a resident of Kenne-
wick has long been identified with it's interests
He will have active management of the bank
and will govern its policy.
The First National Bank has always been
strong bank but now, with the introduction Of
new money, has become as strong as the strongest
Under the new management it begins business
with clean slate.
There is today no stronger or better bank in
the State of Washington
Its cash on hand and unpledged liberty bonds
are approximately 500 Of its deposits. The force
of this will be more fully appreciated when it is
considered that the Federal Reserve Banks re-
quirements are only 790 of Demand deposits and
go Of Time deposits.
The policy of the bank under new management
will as in the past, be directed to the upbulldlng
Of the community and its members insofar as IS
consistent with safety and conservatism. It's loans
however, will be absolutely confined. to such as
comply with the rules and requirements OF con
sentative and sound banking policy.
It will not, under any circumstances sacrifice
safety to expediency or to community or indlvl
dual welfare.
In next weeks issue of the Reporter will appear
statement of the Banks Resources and Labl-
ties as to this date, that will be source OF JUST
fable pride to the Directors as well as to the peo-
of KenneWick.
The Directors wish to take this means of ex.
pressing their appreciation of Mr.. Johnsons loyal
and faithful service to the bank and the commun-
ity.
Believing that a good sound bank is a commun-
ity's best asset the Directors ask for the support
of the people in carrying out these policies to the
end that the community and the bank may grow

FARM SHOP

Does anyone have any farm shop
tools that they don't use and they
will be willing to donate to the
school shop?
When the shop is completed it
must be equipped, and many tools
are necessary. These are expensive
when bought new. but it is thought
that various people may have some
extra tools and that they would be
willing to donate them to the boys
for use in the shop.
Common" tools. as saws, planes,
ETC.. are acceptable, but the most
appreciated ones will be those of
"a special character. Pipe wrenches,
car wrenches. chisels, pipe cutters,
soldering irons, ETC., r desired.
A fully equipped shop should con-
tain every tool that will be needed,
regardless of the job to be done.
Now that we are going to have a
place to work and a place to keep
tools, an effort will be made to get
a complete stock and take care of
them.
Will anyone donate any such tools
for our use? II so, we will surely
appreciate II and will receive them
any time. A phone call is all that
is necessary to have one of the
boys call and get what o have
to give.

Mr.. Hossfield in winning the
championship again. not only
showed remarkable manual skill
but also strength of character; for
after being defeated in the 1913
contest he held the championship
for three years. He then lost 1t
for three years and has held it
again for the past two years.
Last year his rate was 1872 words
