BRUSH FIRES THREATEN
 DAMAGE

Brush and moss fires started in the timber north of Inter- national Way during the re- cent conflagration continue to worry the owners of proper ties in close proximity to the timber. The fires have pen- chant for smouldering during the day, but suddenly become active after nightfall under the impulse of the breeze which usually develops after sum- down and have become dan gerous on several occasions during recent days.
 Frank Fisher, Premier tram superintendent, whose resi- dence is at the very edge of the timber line, has lost a lot ot sleep lately owing to the nocturnal outbreaks of flame and others in the locality have also found it necessary to stay up most of the night to keep the fires in check. An out break occurring Wednesday nipht attained Sufficiont hooJ way to attack trees and be- came decidedly dangerous be- fore being quelled by MT. Fish CT and others.
 As no water is available, heavy rain provides the only pros pect for relieving the commun- ity from what is undoubtedly a very dangerous situation. .

FOR
IRRIGATION
] LEGISLATION
Contest for State Representa-
tive Is Between E. j. Miller
and. Knute Hill, Both of
Prosser.

State and national politics have
almost obscured county affairs
However, as uninterestfng as the
campaign between E. j. Miller and
Knute Hill, both of Prosser, may
be, nevertheless it is Important that
the proper selection be made.
As pointed out in an article
elsewhere in this issue, the ruling
from the supreme court on the
Maximum Benefit" case regard
ing the irrigation assessments will
be of no value to this community
without proper action by the state
legislature. Under the circum-
stances, the district will stand far
better chances in securing this leg
islation if Mr.. Miller is sent to
Olympia than Mr.. HILL.
Two county commissioners are
also to be elected Tuesday. Ira
Hawley of the second district, and
HI. S. Hughes from the third, seem
to have everything coming their
way and are not making much of
a campaign:
Residents within the city limits
are to hold their primary for city
officers on general election day.
While there is but one ticket in the
field, candidates will be selected
for the following offices: Mayor,
city attorney, city clerk, treasurer,
councilman at large, a councilman
from the first, and second wards
and two councilrnen from the third
ward. Candidates filing for clerk,
attorney and the councilman from
the second ward are unopposed.
+ More or less discussion always
arises as to how to mark the bal
lot, in case one does not wish to
vote the straight party ticket. The
safest and surest way, Of course,
is to put the cross in the square
opposite each candidates name.
There will be no mistaking a ballot
marked in this fashion. However,
of one wishes to vote the straight
ticket with the exception of one or
two candidates, he may put a cross
in the circle at the top of the ticket
which he chooses to support gem
orally. Then put a cross after the
name of the candidate on any other
party for whom he wishes to
vote. This indicates that the voter
votes for all the candidates on the
party ticket except where otherwise
noted.
In other words, a cross in the
circle under the Republican party
votes for all the candidates on the
republican ticket. A cross in the
square after Judge Hamilton's
name. however, will count as a vote
against Dunbar, his opponent.

CARLOAD OF

Yakima Fruit and Cold Stor-

Large Lettuce Shipment
From This District.

The first carload of Kennewick
grown lettuce was shipped to Seat
tie tby the Yakima Fruit and Cold
Storage company, of which Earl

the first lettuce to be shipped from

follow.
The variety of lettuce grown is
known as "New York" and pro-
duces hard head of good quality.
Lettuce is a second crop in this
section and as it is coming in ahead
of the California late deal, is COM
manding good price. The let
tuce was planted in August and
will be harvested until the ground
freezes.
Three carloads of green tomatoes
were shipped this summer by this
house which handles all kinds of
produce and fruit. Late potatoes

Y-SIX
THOUSAND
BOXES PACKED
Highland Fruit Company Will
Install Night Crew Next
Week To Finish Apple Pack
by Thanksgiving Time.

Fifty-Six thousand boxes of ap-
pies and pears have been packed
so far this year by the Highland
Fruit company in the Kennewick
Highlands, of which Captain j. w.
Vickers is president and general
manager, and about $4,000 boxes
of fruit is to be packed yet. A
night crew will probably he instal-
led next week. The plant at the
present time has capacity of 1900
to 1900 boxes a day. With the
night crew about three carloads
will be turned out each day and
the plant should finish packing
about Thanksgiving.
Captain Vickers, who is a grow
er as well as packer, says that
difficulties commence with the
early picking. AS soon as the
Jonothans begin to show color,
about ten men are waiting for
every picking job. They tell tales
of how "John jones' will start
picking Monday and even if one
isn't ready to pick before week
from Monday, the pickers want to
start.
The Jonathans get picked in
slow and broken doses. The Romes
get out of the way, but when the
Winesaps come on the help begins
to get technical. They want to
rest on Sunday; they pick up ap-
pies off of the ground and the poor
grower sweats in an upset frame
of mind until the Winesaps are off.
AS matter of fact, Captain Vick-
ers says that only a small percent
age of the help are winners and
grumblers. just enough to worry
the grower.
in the packing plant everyone
advances reasons why his apples
should be packed first.
The Highlands Fruit company
and Vista Orchards, Inc. have 220
acres of apples and pears under
, cultivation. From one 40 acre
tract, $7,500,0O worth Of D.Anjou
and Bartlett pears were sold this
year. On the Vista ranch, couple
Of rows of cherries used as a border
netted 100000.
+ From some contract packs, the
crops run from Is to- rs per cent
culls. In the majority of cases
San Jose scale causes at least two
thirds of the culls. This year
Captain Vickers estimates that
200 carloads of apple culls will be
sent from this district and of this
amount about half will be caused
from scale. If these apples had
been all right they would have
brought in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 in the Kennewick- -Richland
district.
