IMPROVE THE PARK

The City Park is taking It's
place as social center in Kenne-
wick. The trees make a good
shade and the green grass looks
like an oasis. The Kennewick
Chapter, P. E. o. has given q
drinking fountain which is being
installed. This is surely a timely
gift and the members of the park
board are unanimous in voicing
their appreciation of the hand.
some fountain, which will add
greatly to the convenience of the
public.
The board is putting in wad-
ing pool, circular in shape, %
feet across. There are benches and
tables for use by picnicers and
the board are planning other i'm
provements. The grounds of the
high school are very attractive,
also and the rock garden between
the two places adds greatly to the
appearance of that part of the
city.

BIG BASEBALL
GAME MAY 80
Umatilla Champions Will
Play KenneWick's Best
Here Memorial Day

The Kennewick Berry pickers
have done so well this season that
Manager Ferrell has lined up a
real game for them next Wed
nesday, May 30. UmatilIa, lead
ers of the Wheatland League, will
play here on that date, a game
that promises to be perhaps the
best of the season.
The Wheatland League comprise
several of the towns in the east
ern Oregon district: Arlington,
Heppner, lone, Wasco, Umatilla,
and Condor. Umatilla has been
leading the league so far this
year and has a fast hitting aggre-
cation of players. Local dopesters
predict that the Kennewick boys
will have to tighten up consider
ably if they expect to hold their
own against the wheat farmers
from across the Columbia.
The game between Kennewick
and Richland last Sunday was a
listless encounter. The sun was
rather hot, the players showed lit
tie enthusiasm, and the game,
from the spectators point of view,
was uninteresting. The final score
was: Kennewick 16-2O-7; Richland
7-8-14. Warter, John Alexander,
and HudnalI did their share to-
ward making the game worth
while by hitting home runs, but
even their efforts failed TO help
matters much.
Penney plans to have the best
players in town in the lineup for
the game with Umatilla Memorial
day. Ward Johnson will probably
hold down first. Glenn Highly, who
showed up well in the catcher's
berth two weeks ago, will pro-
badly do the receiving, while War
ter and Hudnall will again alter
nate as pitchers. Two new players
that come highly recommended
may also be used, Devourer and
Buzz" Meyers who have been
playing with the Pasco team this
year. Penney will probably try
them out Sunday and if they live
up to expectations they should
add considerable strength for the
Umatilla game
Richland comes to Kennewick
again Sunday, May 81, for a re-
turn game with the fellows here.

A dozen or more Kennewick

The Walla Walla course has a
couple of water holes which prov

one had a royal time, which was
the principal object of the trip
anyway. Next Sunday at nine

Grandview. There will be about
twenty visitors, according TO word
received today, and all the local
players are urged to be present
to show the visitors a good time.

TO HAVE WEATHER
BUREAU AT YAKIMA
Summers Lands Station for Yak
ima-Will Aid Frost Warm
ings and Shipping

Report of an appropriation OF
$1,000 year to establish a full
time, first order weather service
at Yakima was made this week
by Representative John w. Sum-
mers. This weather bureau sta
tion, it is believed, win be Of
great importance to fruit and We
getable growers up and down the
valley and that it will render ma
terial assistance in working out
the preceding, storage, and ship
ment problems. as well as aiding
frost prevention work.
Congressman Summers has been
active during the present session
and has helped ecure passage
of several bills of value to the
the Yakima valley and Eastern
Washington. A particular instance
was the appropriation of $4,000
for the study and working out of
storage preceding and shipping
problems.
The weather bureau, which will
be established July 1, was secured
after favorable reports from the
district forecaster at San Francis
co, the weather bureau at Wash
ington d. c., and the secretary
of afiriculture. Considerable push
ing was necessary on the part of
Summers to get the appropriation
approved. The weather service will
be permanent.

CHERRY CROP
LOOKS LARGE
Tonnage and Price This
Year Expected to Set
New High Mark

Preparations are under way al
the warehouse Of the Big Y this
week for the biggest cherry rrnp
in Kennewick's history. The Y
estimates that they will ship forty
six cars of cherries this year. Null
tiply this by 1884, the number Of
crates in a car, gives 81, l64 fif-
teen-pound boxes, or nearly 4GH
tons of cherries. The Yakima house
it is figured, will handle approx
mately three-fourths of the cher
ries produced in Kennewick. The to-
tai crop of the community will
probably be between sixty land
seventy cars.
The outlook for a good price for
cherries this year, too, is eXcep-
tionally good. Kennewick is prac-
tically the earliest cherry growing
district in the Northwest and Will
be on the market As soon or soon-
er than any other territory within
several hundred miles. -..v
The first cherries to be deliver
ed at a warehouse Were brought in
today by Lawrence Smith. They
Were of the early Purple" var
iety and while hardly worthy ot
the name Cherry" when compar-
ed with the luscious Bing, are
heralds of the big crop soon to
follow. General picking, it looks
now, will start within the next
ten days.
Cherry growers were caused
quite a lot of anxiety this spring
by an unusually heavy drop, but
general indications are now that
this thinning was beneficial rath-
er than anything else. The cher
ries, in most cases, are well dis
tributed over the trees and will be
of good size and guilty.
Several young orchards of the
district, inclrding those lof Bill
Green, Williams and d. F. Parks,
are reported as being heavily load
ed and will add materially to the
production of the district which is
expected to set a new record for
tonnage and net returns.

PLAN SMOKER
FO r JUNE 2
Harmon will Stage Return
Bout with Lytel-Six -
Other Events

For the benefit of the Moose
lodge, Eddie Harmon, local boxer,
is promoting a smoker to. be held
at the Moose hall, Saturday eve-
ming. June 2. The main event will
be six round bout between Har-
mond and Harry Lytel, Pasco, las
Founders.
The lineup for the smoker, which
includes six separate events, pro-
mises well. Harmoid and Lytel bat
tied to draw here a few weeks
age. According to the spectators,
Harmond had an edge on the Pas
co boy at that time, Lytel not hav-
ing had time to get into condition,
but at the coming scrap these wei.
ter weights will be more evenly
matched.
The semi-final will be four
round bout between Marvin Quin-
cy, Pasco, and Donald Woods, Of
Kennewick. Both tip the scales
at 140. Woods put up an interest
ing battle at the Sigma club smok-
er and this event should be nearly
as good as the main one.
A special feature is a wrestling
match. Fritz Bremmer will take
on Harry Grim of Ricbiand, 200 lbs,
Fritz knows his stuff pretty well
and should be in condition while
it is predicted thai Grim will be
able to take care of himself.
The prelminaries incl de four
rounds by Tony Carlson, Kenne-
wick, ITO lbs, and "Rusty" Gala
han, ITO lbs; Billy Doll, Richland
120 lbs, and Herby Owens, 12C
lbs, The curtain raiser will be
a return match between the Lape
boys, Elrie and Duane, age 6 and
z. This will not be the first pub
lie appearance of these two cham
pionship contenders, either, they
having made their public debut in
Kennewick in the prize ring earlier
in the season, and, by the way,
they furnished lots of entertain
ment.

position in the primaries.

state supreme court bench Judge
Macintosh resigned two months
ago as chef justice to open a vi
gorous campaign. He is making
few political speeches, but is
spending his time establishing
personal contact to better under
stand of the various needs and
difficulties of the people of the
state.
Judge Macintosh is well known
here. Aside from his many years
of public service, which have given
him friends and acquaintances in
all sections of the state. he has
the distinction & !. being the first
native son to become chief justice
and to aspire for the office of U.
S. senator from this state.
Completing his visit here Judge
Macintosh went to Pasco and
on the following day proceeded
eastward. He plans to spend sew
eral weeks on the east side of the
state.
