REHRMAN NAMED
AS COUNCILMAN
Young JeweIer to Serve on City
Board from Second Ward
Road Improvements

E. H. Behrman was appointed
councilman from the second ward
last Tuesday night, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of j.
H. Mcdowell. w. G. Muldrow was
named as chairman Of the street
and alley committee, a position
held for several years by the de-
ceased city officer. Mr.. Behrman
will take his cushioned chair at
the next meeting of the council.
Plans were discussed for the
permanent improvement of Ken
newick avenue to the city limits
and the S., P & S. roads and the
street and alley committee was in
structed to proceed with the work
as soon as the material could he
secured. It is planed to rebuild
the sub-grade of the two roads
and allow them to settle during
the winter. Just as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the

FRUIT HOUSES
PREPARE FOR
BIG SEASON
Highland Orchard Co, In
stalls Latest Type Washing
Machine Apple Crop this
Year Said to be in Fine
Condition.

In addition to the packing houses
down on "fruit row" in town, sew
eral other packing sheds will be
run in this district this year to
take care Of the large apple crop.
Chief among these is, perhaps, the
plant operated on the west High
lands by the Highlands Fruit Co.
This plant has just installed one
of the latest model Moe Fruit
washers. This machine has a ca
pacity of 1000 to $500 boxes of
fruit daily, depending upon the
size and condition of the fruit.
The fruit is handled thru the
machine which thoroly washes the
spray from the fruit, polishes and
dries it, ready for the sorters and
packers. According to j. w. Wick
ers, manager for the company, this
new machine will handle fruit with
less damage in the way of skin
punctures and bruises than any
other machine so far developed.
The plant is at present working
on pears, but the. apple crop will
come on shortly and crew of
about thirty will be engaged
until about the first of November.
The company expects 10 put up
between eighty and one hundred
thousand packed boxes during the
seasons run.
The apples on the company's
tracts are in unusually fine con-
dition this year, according to Mr.
Vickers. Using the new sshootch"
pots for the control of the codling
moth has reduced the number of
sprays by about one-half, which
will also make easier work in the
packing house. The apples which
have worms or stings in his tracts
are far below the usual number
this year too. The fruit is already
of q large size and with few
cool nights the coloring will begin
to set and show up enough for
early handling

LOCALS WIN

The professional ;wrdstlers of
the Levitt Brown Huggins shows
ran into hard shedding when they
struck Kennewick. For three
nights practically all contestants
stayed the required time, then the
manager got bold and invited To-
cal fellows to wrestle Saturday
night, winners to take all. "Buck"
Lester and two Pasco men, Smith
and Collins, each pinned his man
to, the canvas and won the purse;
George Hallett, boxer, gave his
opponent bad beating and then
knocked him cold. A third man
from Pasco offered to take on one
of the professionals so pounds
heavier than himself and as re-
suit of his nerve took a terrific
battering and was knocked out.

ships Go Fast.

This week has seen the COM
mencement of active campaigns on
the part Of quite q few of the cam
didates for Queen of the Fair, and
those who have gotten out are
finding that the residents Of the
community are not hesitating when
it comes to purchasing life mem
berships in the Fair Association.
While it is get too early to get
any Of the actual figures for the
bulletins, nevertheless, Judging
from the number of coupons that
have been turned in already, near
~ everybody in the valley is saving
his coupons and the various can
didates. are receiving q very sat-
isfactory complimentary vote.
These free coupons will count
toward the selection of the win
ner just the same as those which
are attached to the admission tick

ciate an active effort made in this
manner by their supporters.
The schedule of votes for the

LIKED CHERRIES

George Heath, when he was
younger and Simmer. and lived
back in Wisconsin, used to like to
doll up in a, rubber coat and a
fireman,s hat and hang periously
to a swaking hook and ladder. He
got paid for it, too, being one OF
the city's firemen in Appleton. A
couple of weeks ago George got
liberal and sent a box OF cherries
back to the boys in station No. !
with his compliments. He received
recently a very fine letter from
the department stating that the
Kennewiek fruit was the finest
they had ever seen and that a
move was ON foot to move the
whole town out here during the
fruit season.

amendment will result in more
tax-shifting than tax-reduction.
That free classification by the
legislature will result in log rooi-
ing, discrimination against some
classes of property, litigation as to
the constitutionality of different
rates on different classes of prop
critics, initiative bills, referendum
fights and endless confusion. That
intangibles will not yield enough
taxes to give measurable relief to
real estate; that uncertain taxa
tion will discourage productive
business and enterprise.
On the whole, there will be
enough arguments on both sides

GROWERS ARE
URGED TO
GET IN TOUCH
Horticultural Committee Anx-
ious to Have Good Exhibit
at Coming Fair-Church
Mfg. Co. Offers Free Stor-
age to Exhibitors.

Dale Smith, chairman of the hor
ticultural committee of the Fair
association this year, would like
to get in touch with every grower
in the community who has fruit
products which might be exhibited
at the fair. He says that there is
not a clear understanding of the
fair program among the orchard
lists at this time; that he or any
of the horticultural committee,
which consists of Jay Perry, j.
A. Mclean, A. Lehnhard and him
self, would be glad to talk matters
over with any grower wishing to
exhibit.
Prunes, beaches and all soft
fruits to be placed on exhibit
should he selected now. Cold stor-
age is the only way in which such
fruit may be preserved and for
this purpose the Church Mfg. Co.
has offered free use of its cold
storage rooms.
The work of lining up good
horticultural exhibits has been ra-
ther slow, and Mr.. Smith urges
that fruit growers and the com.
mittee get together and do some
worthwhile work toward making
their division of the fair COM
plete success.

association will hold picnic in
the park at Prosser next Wednes-
day and all church people of the

will be games and sports of all
kinds, followed by the big CON-
munity dinner. The purpose of the
gathering is, first to get acquaint-
ed and have good time, accord
ing to F. e. Lacey, of Sunnyside,
who has the arrangements in
charge. Second, to get a compre-
hensive idea of the plans of the
association for the future. Every
one interested is invited to attend.

THREE SEEK
ELECTION TO
COUNTY JOB
Candidates for County Offices
are Slow to Declare Them
seIves-A. f. Brown Files
for Commissioner - Demo-
Gratis Get Busy.

Saturday Of this week will be
the last day for filing for the var
ious state and county offices, and
at the present time the county
auditor has applications for but
few Of them.
Perhaps the most interesting fil-
ing to the people in this end Of
the county is that made by A. F.
Brown yesterday for the office Of
county commissioner from this
district. He filed on the repub-
lican ticket as have also Charles
E. Lum. of the valley and R. R.
Wooden, manager Of the Grange
store. P. A. Combelic is the pres
ent incumbent.
For the commissionership the
people of the district vote on the
candidate in the primaries, but in
the general election the whole
county votes. In the middle dis
trict Ira Hawley will file for re-
election. There have been no 9TH
er candidates mentioned for his
position, tho there are one or two
more possible candidates for the
job from this district.
A rather unusual thing, for BEN
ton county, at least, is the filings
that have been made for the post
of precinct committeeman. Three
democratic candidates from this
end of the county have filed: F..
Bentley and Frank White, and
Dixie Taylor. red English, Of
White Bluffs filed for committee
man from his precinct on the re-
publican ticket.
Knute Hill of Prosser recently
filed as a candidate for the legis-
lature on the democratic ticket.
E. j. Miller, also of Prosser filed
yesterday on the republican ticket
for the same office. It is not thot
likely that there will ibe any other
candidates for this office, so they
will have to fight it out in the
general election.
Judge Truax Of Ritzville has filed
again for Judge of the superior
court, position he has held for
some years. There viii be, likely
no other candidates for this office.
Outside of the offices mention
ed above there are no vancancies
in the. county offices to be filed
this year.

TELLS OF THE
WORLD SUNDAY.
SCHOOL MEET
Eight Thousand Delegates at
tend 9th international Con-
vention at Los Angeles
M. E. Delegates Outnumber
All Others.

Rev. Thompson, of Finley, who
has just returned from attending
the Worlds Sunday School con-
vention at Los Angeles, submits
the following interesting facts re-
garding the convention:
The first worlds Sunday School
convention was held in London in
1889, since which time they have
been held in the following places:
st. Louis, London, Rome, Wash
ington, Zurich, Toxic, Glasgow,
Los Angeles, Jerusalem and the
one in 1873 will be held in Rio de
Janerio.
The Shrine civic auditorium, a
beautiful hall seating 5000, was
used for all general meetings, this
year. Imagine, if you can, a cho-
rus choir of 1000 trained voices.
together with an audience of over
1000, under the leadership of this
country's foremost musical direc-
tors, singing such songs as "Faith
of my Fathers" "In the Cross of
Christ / Glory" "Jesus Shall
Reign" or "We've a Story to Tell
to the Nation" with people from
every nation, many clad in their
native costumes, joining heartily,
and you have faint idea of what
the singing before the throne with
'sthat great multitude which no
man could number, of all nations,
all kindreds and peoples and ton
gues." (Rev. 7-9).
Probably no two men gave moro
of their time, money and talents
to the advancement of the Sunday
school work than did former post
master general John Wanamaker
and Mr.. Heinz, of the 81 varieties,
and their home state Of Pennsyl-
vania headed the list in point OF
numbers, outside of California,
having All present. Ohio had 15S,
New York 1873, and our own state
of Washington 100. Foreign del
egations ranked as follows: Japan
1913, Canada 68, China 3d..
The three denominations having
the largest delegations were: Meth
odist 1747; Baptist 1874, Presby-
terians 1899.
The tenth Sunday school con-
vention had present 5000 dele
gates from fifty nations, repre-
senting a Sunday school enroll
ment of SO, 900, 900.
The two largest meetings were
held Sunday evening, July 15, at
which about 5000 young people
between the ages Of 16 and % as
sembled in the Shrine auditorium
with an overflow meeting in the
University of Southern California
of 1000 and at the Hollywood Bowl
there were gathered in and about
the Bowl $4,000 more.
On the return trip the Thomp-
son car was wrecked and Rev.
Thompson is especially warm in
his praise of the Hartford Insur-
ance Co. and the A.A.A. for the
prompt and kindly aid rendered In
settling up for the damages.

NEW GROUNDS
TO BE READY
FOR THE FAIR
Temporary Buildings will be
Erected and Used this Year
All Community Exhibits to
be Given Square Deal -
Improve Efficiency.

A meeting of the fair board and
the superintendents of the various
departments was held Monday eve
ming with good representation
of both.
Reports from the various sup
erintendents Indicate that there
is considerable activity thruout the
community looking toward the ex-
hibits to be made for the 7th and
Sth in practically all of the de-
partments.
While there was some misgiv-
ings as to just what was going to
be available for exhibit space, the
board assured all that within the
very near future the grounds COM
mittee would begin the erection
of the buildings to take care Of
the situation for this year. These
buildings will be erected on the
permanent grounds and while they
will be more or less of a tempory
nature, they will be the beginning
of permanent structures to be COM
pleted and added to later.
A matter coming up before the
board was the question Of score
for the Richland community ex-
.hibit. Some of the people Of the
Richland community felt that they
were at a disadvantage with the
score divided as it was, and they
requested that their score be made
the same as that of the Valley.
After some discussion it was voted
to make the change. A commit
tee from the Vale grange was
present to assist in working out
this problem for the grange.
The general plan for tn con-
Quoting of the Queen contest was
explained by Herman Schmidt, Of
the Kiwanis club, which organiza-
ton has charge of the contest.
Everyone seems to be well salts
fed with the plans and it seems
to be the best that has ever been
worked out. 1t is understood that
there is to be no pooling Of votes,
that every girl entering the con-
test stands on her own feet, with
an advantage, it would seem to
the contestants from the outlying
communities. Outlying commun-
tiles should get busy, as one of
the Kennewick girls is very active
at the present time.
Another meeting of the board
will be held as soon as the chair
man returns and at this time, the
superintendnts should be ready to
give the grounds committee good
idea of the amount of space which
they will need for their depart
ments.
The new system of entry blanks
and tags and judges blanks was
taken up with the superintendants
by the secretary, E. C. Durdle, as
they might be getting well ac-
uuainted with the system to be
used this year. In this way, max
ing it easier at fair time to handle
this work.

Irpuments for and Against

nis certain now that the sup

INIT the Legislature to classify
,,soerty for the purposes of taxa
- and which will be on the
v1venber ballot, are going to
s1te q fight of it. Up to this time
s. opponents of the classification

~ Now, however, the classifi-

Erely contest.
Hackers of the measure headed
b the Washington Tax Equaliza-
6on council, Seattle, started their
empaign by winning a point be.
iure the Supreme court. Oppon-
~ Of the amendmen had filed
tAeir official argument for pub
Evation in the state information
vnphlet, which the secretary of
stste is required to mail to regis
srsd voters, but the proponents
ia failed to supply an argument
within the specified time and it
boked as if they would be shut
at. But the Supreme court ruled
aat the argument could yet be
fled and published, so the offic-
ii voters pamphlet will carry
Ioth sides of the question to. be
mttled in November.
Consequently, the rival forces
n lining up for a stiff fight. On
the side of the amendment will be
found the large owners of the city
property, real estate dealers, the
range and some independent
i,rm owners, certain educational
forces and others who want re-
lief for real property, the taxa
ton of intangibles and more con-

de opposite side will be found the
