WONDERFUL QUALITY

1t looks like old times over at the
depot every evening now with the
large express shipments of soft fruit
that are being shipped out. Cherries
cleared UP the first Of the week ex-
cept enc or two of the larger
orchards and yellow Transparent Ap-
Piles and early peaches have been
making up the bulk OF the shipments
since, with a sprinkling Of odd var.
iet;es of soft fruit such as Yakamines
and black cap berries. The Yakamines
were shipped by Chris Hinderer, and
the berries by George Van Buren
Tie first q ate of apricots for the
season was shipped Tuesday evening
by w. r. Roberts. The cots wifi soon
be making up the major part of the
shipments but it is npt expected they
will be rolling in any great quanti-
ties until next week.
i As general proposition the fruit
sent out SO far this season, particu-
larly where the trees have had any
thing like the proper care, is the fin
est that has ever left the valley.
Growing conditions have been ideal
and the fruit has taken, on lots of
size, weight, color and flavor 1t has
also been singularly free from blem-
ishes and worm infestation. Economic
conditions in the country may be
such this year that the fruit will not
command any fancy price but if the
later varieties of fruit mature as has
the early stuff, the consumer never
got any finer than he will receive
this season from the Priest Rapids
Valley.

FIRE DESTROYS
R. ]. ROBERTS HOME

Fire, Tuesday afternoon, complete
ly destroyed the fine residence on the
r. J. Roberts orchard property north
of town. The origin Of the fire is
unkncwn although Mr.. Roberts be-
lieves it was due to defective wire
ing.
Mr.. Roberts had just returned from
trip to town about S o'clock and
Mrs. Roberts had come in from the
orchard where she had been with
the crew thinning apples on the
place, to begin preparations for the
evening meal. Their first knowledge
of the FIRE was when Werner Blair
came running across the road from
the Chairman place where he was
working and told them that smoke
and flames were coming from the
house. near where the fireplace chirn-
ney passed through the roof. The
flames spread rapidly and when dis
covered were beyond control, and
the whole upper part of the house
being ablaze. With the spread of
the alarm a large crowd quickly as
sembled at the place anxious to help,
but there was nothing they could
do but stand and watch the house
burn.
Mr.. Roberts desk and Mrs. Roberts
organ. family heirloom, with few
odcs and ends of clothing and dishes,
were saved, the rest Of the furniture
and contents burning with the house:
The house was built by Mr.. and
Mrs. Roberts about five years ago.
The outside walls were made OF
cement blocks. The plumbing and
other fixtures, including the furnace,
were modern and up-to-date and the
whole home was one of the finest
in the valley.
Mr.. Roberts estimates his loss at
$4,000 with insurance Of $4,000 on
the house and $500 on the furniture
| Mr.. Roberts had brought all Of
his important papers out to his home
from the bank few days previous
to the fire to look up some matters
and the insurance policy was with
them in the desk that was saved.
AS soon as the insurance is ad-
justed the Roberts expect to begin
plan for rebuilding, but it is probable
that construction will not be started
before fall.

SUB. STATION OPERATOR
HAS CLOSE CALL

c. c. Hagen, operator at the sub
station at Hanford, rniraculously es-
capped death at the station Monday
afternoon when he in some manner
came in contact with the $4,000 volt
wires.
The contact threw the power off
on the whole system and sounded
the alarm in the cottage near the
station, where Mrs. Hagen was at
home nursing her nephew, Donald
Danley, who was suffering from a
broken leg received when he fell into
the well at the Murray place last
week, and, knowing that something
serious had happened, called for help
and rushed to thet station where
she found Mr.. Hagen lying on the
floor with his clothing on fire. She
extinguished the blaze but not be-
fore Mr.. Hagen had been quite
severely burned.
A telephone call was sent to the
P. P. & L. office at White Bluffs
and Ralph Windso,, accompanied by
D. S. Wilkinson left Immediately and
with DR.. Devin, who had also been
summoned, administered first aid.
Mr.. Hagen was conscious but
seemsd dazed and could offer no
explanation as to what had happened.
From the burns on his hands and
body and by marks on the wires
and other equipment in the station
it appeared that while working there
Mr.. Hagen had fallen between the
wires in such manner as to cause
an arc and it seemed probable that
the whole $4,000 volts had passed
through his body. He was taken
shortly afterwards to the Pasco hos
pital under the care of the power
company physician.
Mr.. Hagen received severe though
apparently not very deep burns on
his back and on his right arm and
leg.
| When this was written Mr.. Hagen
was reported to be resting nicely at
the hospital with an excellent chance
for recovery although it was diff
cult at this time to- tell whether or
not he would suffer any permanent ill
effects as result of the accident.

LARGE CROWD SEES
LOCALS WIN 6 TO |

Playing as though it were the
Fourth of July and that Kennewick
was Connell, the White Bluffs club
turned back the strawberry pickers
in well played game on the local
grounds last Sunday by a score OF
6-l.
In the absence of Jack Blair, Will
la;ms pitched the whole game and did
good job of it. He came near scor-
ing a shut out, Kennewick's lone run
coming in the eighth on close play at
the plate on a short passed ball.
Neither club was able to score until
the sixth inning, when the locals
rang up their first tally. Young Hud-
nall was on the firing line for the Wis
itors and he battled on almost even
terms with Williams up to the sixth
although the White Bluffs players
were getting on the bases more fire.
quently than the visitors. The game
was cinched for the locals in the sew
enth when they scored four times dur
ing a big batting rally. During this
rally young Hudnall retired to first
base and Harter went into the box
and finally succeeded in getting the
side out.
Joe Derigio, back for the summer
from the state college, was on second
and played nice game and drove out
nice two-bagger.
In the ninth with two down, Penny,
manager for the Kennewick team,
went in to bat for one Of the regulars
and drove out a long fly that Windsor
captured near the foul line after a
hard run.
Next Sunday tht locals will tackle
their toughest engagement o! the
season so far when they will contest
team made up of Kennewi:k and
Pasco players on the local grounds.
The team will b, accompanied by
quite a crowd of boosters for the
Pasco Fourth of July celebration, in
Guiding the Pep Band" and the new
car that is to be given away as a
prize at the celebration. This game
promises to be thriller and with the
band and othr attractions there will
undoubtedly be a large crowd out
I@.V w w-tness the contest.
The final game before the big

in Pasco on Sunday, July LIST, and
the opposition that the locals will
have in that game will probably be
the same they will meet in the game

THE FRUIT OUTLOOK

NSpOItulS tIle ASAo O@sAOSh ASA
apples in the country the U. s.
Department of Agriculture says:
"For the United States as whole
the condition of this crop on june
II, was 72.2 per cent of normal as
compared with 57.2 year ago, ano
68, the ten-year average of condition
on June /. With the trees still ir
bloom on June in some important
northern sections, it is too early tc
forecast the United States crop. But
prospects seem to be fairly good ir
nearly all sections except portions
of Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, where
late frosts caused extensive damage
California and some of the Mountain
States expect apple crops larger than
were harvested in 1926. Other States
report prospects intermediate between
the very large crop Of 1926 and the
generally short crop of 1927.
"The Oregon apple crop apparent
ly will be about as large as in 1926.
In Washington the crop is reported
at IS per cent of normal on June
1, against 81 last year, and 81, the
ten-year average on June l. The
Pacific Northwest will probably have
more apples than last season, if pre-
lirninary indications hold good.
''In Engalnd the chief tore1gn
market for United States apples,
crop conditions of apples and pears
were generally favorable at the end
of April, in spite of some frost dam
age. And from present indications
Europe as we'll as the United States
will perhaps have good apple crops
this year. Excepting that in the
Netherlands, which does a consioera-
BILE business in apples, and in the
Rhineland, apple conditions are said
to be not so favorable.
+ PEACHES: "The condition OF
peaches in the United States on June
/ was 72.7 per cent of normal,
compared with 51.8 on June
year ago, and an average of 64
during the last ten years. Peach pro-
spects are poorest IN the inter
mediate group Of States from Dela-
ware to Missouri. But the South
eastern States seem likely to have
an exceptionally heavy crop, and the
same is true of California. In the
northern peach areas it is too early
for reliable forecast, but present
prospects in these States point to
a Crop intermediate betweEn the
light crop of last season, and the
very large crop of 1926. In Washing
ton, on basis Of June reported CON
dition, the prospect is for crop of
1,174,Oo0 bushels, against 250,o00 last
year, and $4,000 bushels, the aver
age harvest for the 5-year period
1o23-27.
PEARS: ."On basis of June l con-
dition, the United States prospect
for pears is 23,l3o,o0o bushels, against
100000 last year, and an average
of 20,2OO,O0O bushels during the past
five years. Washington's prospect
is for 100000 bushels, as compared
with 1,57s000 in 1926, and 100000
bushels the average production Of
the preceding FIVE years."
