WALTON LEAGUERS
TO HAVE MEETING
Lovers of Nature Invited to Hear
Details of Organization State
Officer to be Present

If you are interested in out
door life in any Of its phases, you
are invited to be present at the
meeting of the Isaak Walton
League to be held in the basement
of the Methodist church next
Thursday evening. All members
of the local chapter, especially are
urged to be present. 1t is planned
to have one of the state officers
of the association present to make
the principal address of the eve-
ming.
The League is doing wonder
fully effective work in preserving
wild life and game in the east and
is finding a ready response from
nature lovers in the west where
the organization is just this spring
being started. The preservation oi
forests, streams, and. scenery are
among the clubs activities as vel
as conservation of the birds and
fish and other game native to oul
country.
The meeting promises to be al
interesting one, to men and WON
en- alike and special invitation i
extended to the Boy Scouts to b
| present.

sweep the republican county con-
ventions, making it more and more
certain that the Hoover forces will
rule the republican state conven-
tion at Yakima, May 5. The big
test in this state for Mr.. Hoover
was King county, where many of
the political boys were cold toward
his candidacy, preferring Vice
president Dawes, and the precinct
meetings held last Saturday estab-
lished him as the popular choice.
Some effort was made in Seattle
to line up support for Frank Low
den, but the efforts were futile.
Mr.. Hoover scored in all other
counties on the west side. Mr..
Lowden won out in Whitman coun-
ty and picked up some support in
other parts of the wheat belt, but
hardly enough to make a showing
in the Yakima convention. So Mr..
Hoover may be safely listed as the
fayorite presidential candidate of
the republican party Of Washing
ton.

WIN
GREAT GAME
Good Pitching Stops Rich
land Sunday-Play at
Finley Next Sunday

With Bill Smith in the pitchers
box displaying lots of steam, and
with Glenn Higley, Martin Hudnall
and Joe and John Alexander doing
good work with the stick, Kenne-
wick triumphed over the Richland
baseball nine Sunday afternoon to
the tune of 1873. The Richland ag-
gre gasion put up good fight,
showing fair team work, but never
after the second inning was the
issue in doubt, Kennewick having
a good lead. Batteries were: Ken
newick. Smith and Montgomery;
Richland: Shoppe, Perkins and Per-
kins, Moore.
Aitho Bill Smith was able to
keep the opposition in hand, al
lowing but four hits and striking
out thirteen, the Richland fellows
showed I'd well and deserve a
great deal of credit. The visitors
looked as tho, with little more
practice and good manager to
give them a proper line up, they
could do great things.
A fairly large delegation OF To-
cal fans were at the field Sunday
| for the Richland game. Two weeks
ago the spectators did considerable
| grabbing when the weather man
did not see fit to furnish a pleas
ant day for the White Bluffs
game. However, last Sunday was
about as ideal baseball weather as
Kennewick will ever have, it be-
ing warm enough so that those on
the benches were comfortable ano
yet cool enough for vigorous play.
1 ing. :,
Kennewick will take on the slug
ging Finley Sand Rats next Sun
day on the Finley field. The Fin.
ley team, it will be remembered
is the one that administered sucf
an ignoble defeat to Kennewicl
in the last game of the season las
year. At present the lower vale!
town has several players of Uni
verify calibre in their lineup, IN
cluding Mel Anderson and Nat
Witt. and promise to give Ferrelpt
Strawberry Pickers a hard scrap.

CITIES HELP
TO CUT TOLLS
Statewide Aid Promised
in Urging Purchase of
Kennewick Bridge

A gratifying response has al
ready been made to the plea for
help in getting the Kennewick-
Pasco toll bridge opened. The Com
mercial clubs of the two towns
have united in pushing this matter
and a resolution has been drafted
and forwarded to all the towns of
the eastern part of the state as
well as several of the larger cities
on the coast.
Letters from four of the larger
towns were read at today's meet
ing of the club, which indicated
they were heartily back OF the
proposition. The matter will be
brought to the attention of the
highway department before theil
meeting for adopting the budget
for the coming biennium and it j:
expected that the required sun
will be included as one of the prin
cipal items.
Unofficial reports from Olympii
indicate that the bridge tolls cal
be removed shortly after the frs
of the coming year. should th'
owners of the bridge agree t,
accept the states offer of pur
chase. Businessmen Of Walla Wal
la, where the bulk of the bridgv
stock is owned, are aware Of tn
business advantages offered thei
community by opening the bridg'
and it is likely that their Influence
will be no small factor in persuad
ing the bridge company to accep
the states offer.
Towns from Spokane to Ellens
burg are expected to endorse tn
resolution sent them recently an
with a united support such as j
being received by the Lolo pas
proposition from the two states

ed by figures released by the Var
ney. Air Lines, contractors on the
Pasco-Salt Lake City route, on
the eve of the big celebration of
the second anniversary of the in
auguration of the air service at

operation in 1926 the air ships
carried 1880 lbs. of mail; in the
year 1927 they carried 10000 lbs.;
and in the first three months of
1923 they carried $4,000 lbs, or
practically the same as in the sew
en- months of operation of the first
year.
Each months flight would take
plane once and a half around the
world. the monthly average being
$4,000 miles. Total distance flown
in the % months of actual opera
tion is 875,200 miles. During these
% months there has been only one
major accident, not one piece OF
mail has been lost, and the line

SOME PARTY

Monday evening, April 8, the US
ual monthly meeting Of the p. P.
e. L. Co. was held in the Masonic
hall. No business was transacted,
the event being purely social, and
one of the most successful parties
ever held by the local personnel.
There was a large local turnout,
and several guests from Walla
Walla. The personnel of White
Bluffs local gave much enjoyed
sketch which nearly, but not quite,
determined which was the greater
wrong: "Robbing Hen roosts or,
Taking a Chaw Of Tobacco" An
orchestra, which lived up to its
slogan "Sweet Music with Sting
kept the dance floor crowded with
enthusiastic terpsichoreans, and
cards were played. Ice cream, cake
and coffee were served.

TWO WRECKS
IN ONE DAY
Bill Green's Ford Rolls
Over Bank-Big Buick
Hits Tree in Yard

As the road was not quite wide
enough to permit two cars to pass,
and as each driver miscalculated
the speed of the other, Bill Green
and Elmer Olson are sadder and
wiser men today. Bill, especially,
is the sadder of the two as his
car rolled over with him in it,
smashing all the glass but not do
ing any further damage, or caus-
ing any injury to it's occupant.
The accident occurred Thursday
morning at the high grade in the
road near the Fry tract on the
south Highlands. Bill and Elmer
were in full vie wof each other,
but each driver figured he had
time to get past the other before
the grade was reached. They did
not. Elmer stayed in the road but
Bill, to avoid crash, pulled over
just little too far and his car
rolled to the bottom of the draw.

SEES ARCHERS
Amateur Records Made in
Cotest Both for Accur-
acy and Distance

A gallery estimated at over five
hundred people watched the four
teen entrants in The Courier-Re-
porter archery contest shoot last
Tuesday afternoon at the city
park. Gerald Campbell took first
money, Joe Hatch second and Bill
Sherk third in the target shooting,
Kinkaid took first money on the
distance flight with an arrow that
went 210 yards. Tony Brogunier
won second with a 176 yard flight.
F. Douglas Hawley, Scout Elk
ecutive for the Blue Mountain
council had charge of the contest
and stated that the showing made
here was the best that has been
made in the district. The three
high scores in the target shooting
and the distance flights are al
records for the Blue Mountain
council.
On account of the high wind
which prevailed Tuesday the rec
ords were not as high as have
been made in private practice, new
ertheless the showing made wa:
considered remarkable, according
to Mr.. Hawley, who also compli

REPORTS ON
PAPER MULCH
County Agent Asks About
the Results Of Inter-
esting Experiment

The following is a copy of a let
ter received from L. II. Flint, in
reply to the letter sent to him ask
ing his advice on starting of any
experimental work, after giving
him a general summary of crops
grown and general cropping condi-
tions for this section:
ssIn reply to your letter of March
'21st would start that if you will
first shake little salt on Mr..
Gates article we may proceed.
This whole matter of paper mulch
is still distinctly in the experiment
al stage. AS to the plant response
to the pineapple type of paper this
appears definite and substantial
under our eastern conditions, but
the economic utilization OF this re-
Spouse is another matter. The pine
apple type is expensive for annual
crops. and our trials with other
papers have not been completed.
Several paper companies are CO.
operating with us in the develop
ment in the west so far as annual

This matter was taken up Win

ments already running. Some work
on the use of paper not for ths
specific purpose for which this pa.
per was used however, was done
at the station one year. 1t was
found very difficult under theil
conditions to keep the paper helt
down and those having the worl
in charge rather felt that it woult
: almost be necessary to run irriga
ton bitches at the edge of the pa
per, using the dirt from the ditcl
to cover the edge and hold the pa
. per down. Another question whicl
arises is whether paper which w,
can afford to use for annual crop

: forth over it and especially woul,
this be true if the irrigation ditcl
were down the middle of the roy
as there would be much more dan

OF considerable value. We would b
