DivOt Diggers to Organize for the
Coming Years Activities
Urge Early Work

When the grounding snuck out
of his winters hiding, he was ac-
companied by a host that had not
been figured on. Tuesday-and
since for that matter-was such
beautiful day that myriad of
golf bugs were released and many
of our prominent citizens were at
tackled and severely bitten.
So, it was decided that the golf
club have its annual meeting next
Monday night at the Commercial
club rooms to plan for the COM
ing years activities. Every mem
Der of the local club is urged to
be present and take part. Work
on the course should be started
shortly and other plans perfected

IS SUICIDE
AT RICHLAND
Mrs. Anderson, in Fit of
Dependency, Takes
Own Life

Mrs. r. A. Anderson committed
suicide Friday by shooting herself
with a shot gun. The tragedy oc-
Cured at the family home near
Richland while Mr.. Anderson was
away after stock and their sons
were at school. She left no word
but as her health had been bad
for several years, it is thought
dependency caused the act.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon in the Mueller Under
taking parlors, in charge of Rev.
f. N. Morton, of the M. E. church.
Music was furnished by a quartet
from Richland and burial was in
the local cemetery. The funeral
was largely attended by the Rich
land people, by whom the family
is highly respected.
Sarah A. Anderson was born
June II, 1881 and was 45 years
OF age. She is survived by her hus-
band and two sons, the latter be-
ing students in the Richland high
school.

BRIDGE TOLLS
rs LIVE TOPIC
C. C. Hears More About
Financial Barriers be-
tween the Two Towns

The matter of having the bridge
tolls lowered appears to strike a
responsive chord with most of the
Kennewick business men, judging
from the fine attendance at to-
days luncheon. President d. G.
Rodgers reported having received
a letter from the secretary of the
bridge company relating to the
discussion that was held last week.
Last week it was suggested at
the meeting that the two coun-
ties join in the operation of a free
ferry, or ferry making a very
nominal charge for crossing, in
case the bridge company refused
to lower the tolls. Secretary Car
penter reported at this meeting
that the matter of securing and
operating ferry was a simple
matter.
While everyone was agreed that
the tolls were rather high, there
was some discussion relative to
the method of procedure. With the
opening of the Vantage bridge on
the Sunset highway this summer,
the local Commercial club, as well
as all others in the Yakima valley,
are anticipating considerable di-
version in the tourist traffic. In
the effort to lower the tolls, it is
thought that somewhat larger
portion of this traffic might be OBJ
tanned for this valley.
A committee was appointed, OF
will be within twenty-four hours,
to take up the larger aspect of the
case, that of securing aid from the
state in taking over and making
free not only the Kennewick-Pasco
bridge, but all others in the state
on a primary highway. This COM
mittee will exert the influence of
the club, working in conjunction
with others of the valley, toward
a measure with this end in view.
President Sparks, of the Ellens-
burg Chamber of Commerce. was
a guest of the club and spoke
briefly, stating that his organize
ton was willing, as always, to
cooperate with the local club in
matters of mutual interest. He
said that his community would
give every aid possible toward Sc
curing the lowering of the finan-
:ial barrier on our highways.
The matter of using the Com
mercial club rooms for offices for
the new county agent, the county
;lub leader and other uses was
referred to the house committee
and the board of governors who
will meet early next week, upon
he call of the president.

XIV ANS TO
BEAUTIFY CITY
Mems Club to Urge More
Care in Community's
Appearance in Future

The program of activities fol
the Kiwanis club for this year as
proposed by the public affairs
committee at the meeting this
week laid particular stress upon
cleaning up the city. The second
airy objective was the improve
ment of the tourist park.
1t was pointed out by speakers
at the meeting that the best pos
sible form of advertising for the
community, once the prospective
settler had arrived within our linn
its, was a tidy and prosperous
looking village.
The city Identification plan was
to be obtained by year-round eff
fort on the part of all members
and others whom they could influ-
ence to remove unsightly build
ings and discarded machinery; to
create a spirit of cooperation a.
mong other civic organizations
and citizens to have all vacant
lots cleared of weeds, rubbish and
unsightly and useless buildings; !;
to assist in planting small grass
plots on vacant corners and in
front of sign boards along the
main street; urging upon property
owners along main street the adj
vantage of painting buildings.
1t was the aim of the club to
assist and cooperate wherever nee
essary to make Kennewick's tour
ist park one of the best in the
valley.
1t is planned to place Kiwanis
signs on all highways at the town
limits, and assist in any program
toward the improvement of the
park or playground.
Activities to be assisted and
supported but not sponsored by
the club at the present time in
cluded street lighting and hotel
Improvement. In the list of activi-
ties which the club should adopt
a policy of supporting and assist
ing whenever possible and to which
every member should lend their
moral support at all times, were:
the Boy Scout movement, Big Bro
ther movement, Junior farm clubs,
marketing problems, bridge toll
program, getting out the vote, dem
tai and medical clinics and milk in
the schools.

URGES HEATING
FOR BERRIES
"Des' Thinks Plan Will
Work Out in Saving
the Early Crop

Protecting Strawberries from
frost by artificial means of heat
ing can be made a success, is the
opinion of HI. w. Desgranges,
manager Of the Big Y. Mr.. Des-
oranges has had much to do with
the developing of the practice of
orchard heating for tree fruits in
this district.
When asked for his opinion as
to the applicability for saving our
strawberry crop he replied: sI am
certain that frost damage to the
Strawberries can be prevented by
the proper installation of equip
ment and the use of good judg-
ment during the firing periods. I
have been one of those who have
questioned the feasibility of apply
mig orchard heating to save straw
berries, knowing that heat rises
very quickly from the ground.
"We have learned a few things
about orchard heating in the past
few years and there is still much
to be learned. Heretofore we have
been applying the wrong principle
in so far as heating for straw
berries is concerned. In California
they are heating successfully for
tender garden crops and if they
can do it in California we can do
it at Kennewick.
eve are indebted to Albert w.
Cook, our weather man, for bring
ing this information to us. Last
spring we carried out some ex-
periments in the patches of Roy
Washburn and Roy Yamaoka, and
while the spring was not favorable
for extensive tests, the results at
tanned justifies the belief that it
can be made success.
1T means putting the ordinary
idea of orchard heating into re-
verse gear. For ground heating
the radiant heat must be depended
upon and this can be secured to
remarkable degree by the proper
placing of the pots. With pots
placed twenty feet apart we sue
ceeded in raising the temperature
on the ground seven degrees. This
in practically every instance would
be sufficient to save the crop.
"The secret lies in elevating the
pots about two feet above ground.
Radiant heat travels straight in
every direction, and this gives op-
portunity for a portion of the heat
to spread out and down over a
considerable area whereas if plac-
ed on the ground there is but one
escape and that is up with the
result frost will do damage within
a few feet of pot burning at full
capacity.
ii believe the smudge pot will
re-establish the strawberry indus

HERE IT Is
!. ONCE AGAIN
More Dope on Wenatchee
Southern-To be Run
ing by July, 1923

Information from a reliable
source has come to the Spokes-
man that the building of the We
natchee Southern railroad is not
myth but reality. According to
this information, both links, the
one from Wenatchee to Beverly
and the one from Hanford to Ken
newick, are to be built and are
covered in the one construction
contract.
Both links are to be completed
and ready for operation on July
l, 1928. To do this, some construc-
ton will probably have to be un-
dertaken during 1927. AS the
Priest Rapids branch of the Mil
waukee from Beverly to Hanford
is to become part of the Wenat-
chez Southern, some improvements
will also have to be made in il
to put the roadbed in proper con-
dition to stand the heavier traffic
The southern link will go from
Hanford thru Richland to con-
nection with the O.-W. r. & N
at a point few miles northwest
of Kennewick. The O.-W. r. & N
is a part of the Union Pacific
System. That road now has nc
connection with Seattle and Puget
Sound except thru Portland. This
condition might result in traffic
agreement whereby the u. p

WASH SPRAY
FROM FRUIT
New Method Cheaper and
Better According to Ex-
pert from Oregon

Apples and pears should be dip
ped or washed with solution of
hydrochloric acid whenever pos
sible during the coming year, Hen
ry Hartman, Of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, told 800 fruit
growers at the annual meeting of
the Yakima District Horticultural
society which opened in the Cham
Der of Commerce at Yakima this
week, according to story printed
by. the Yakima Republic. Hartman
outlined experiments conducted in
Medford and on the college cam
pus which indicated that washing
is the only method to bring the
spray residue below the British
tolerance and predicted that the
new method would take the place
of the wiping now favored.
Experiments at Oregon Agri-
cultural college also indicate that
the cleaning process should take
place as soon after the fruit is
picked as possible. Where fruit is
held in cold storage it is essential
that no decayed apples be allowed
to pass through the dipping solu-
tion.
Methods whereby the solution
may be made disinfectant as well
as an effective cleaning prepara-
tion are being worked on, but have
not been perfected, Hartman said.
It has been found that the pres,
ence of decayed fruit will cause
some spread of the disease thru
the solution.
Where apples or pears are taken
out of cold storage they can be
cleaned at an extremely low tenn
perature quite as effectively as at
the higher temperatures, the ex-
periments have shown. Where ap-
Piles are held in storage for sever
al weeks before being cleaned it
will probably be necessary to use
a stronger solution than when they
are cleaned Immediately after be-
ing picked.
Thousands of dollars will be
spent by fruit packing concerns in
the northwest because of the
change in the method of cleaning
which most persons connected with
the industry feel will take place
next year. Large sums were spent
this year on wiping machines, but
it was found these would not
bring the apples down to the .01
tolerance which has been fixed as
the goal by the United States in
spection department, the Oregon
man held.
Machinery which will do this
work outlined by Prof. Hartman is
being worked out by a number of
companies and will be on the mar
ket in short time. 1t is estimated
that the cost of such machine

which was shown in Cy Smiths

more less comment and was un-
doubtedly the basis for the rumor
that Ford had gone into the gro
