SHIPPED OUT
AT HIGH PRICE
Good Weather and Quality
Compensate for Small Acre
age; Heavy Shipments to
Coast Points


Heavy shipments of early pota-
toes are being sent from Kenne-
wick this week. The small acreage
has been offset by good weather
conditions and the high quality of
the crop.
Inquiries have been received by
the Three Rivers growers from the
Fargo and Grand Forks districts
in North Dakota, offering as high
as $45 per ton, fob. shipping
points. At the present time, how
ever, coast markets are offering
better inducements, and the ma
jority of the shipments are billed
to Seattle and nearby points.
Joint cars of Yellow Transpar-
ent apples are being loaded be-
tween here and the Hanford and
White Bluffs district. Prices are
good, averaging around 1925 pei
box. Shipping of apricots will soon
begin from Hanford and White
Bluffs.

Fly at DazC11?
ains - aaHpG
No, Too Early

Day breaks at an early hour,
and probably for this reason Gov.
Roland II. Hartley did not accept
the invitation of Hallett Airways,
Inc. to call for him at daybreak on
Monday to take him via plane to
the Western States Air conference
at Boise.
The Halletts had planned, if
their invitation was accepted, to
call for the governor at Olympia,
and, with one stop at Kennewick
for fuel and breakfast, fly him to
Boise in time for the conference
opening that morning.
The governor wrote to the Hal.
let's, thanking them for their no
vel invitation, but begged to be ex.
cused because matters of state inn
portance would prevent him from
attending the conference as he had
formerly planned.

VISITTO LOCAL
HIGHLINE UNIT
Reclamation Head, with Chief
Engineer and Project Sup
erintendent Here on Survey
of Conditions.


DIR. Elwood Meade, director Of
reclamation, was in Kennewick
Sunday for a conference with the
local irrigation officials. With him
were Chief Engineer Walters, of
Denver, and Superintendent Pres
to, of Yakima.
Due to decreased payments into
the revolving fund from the cur
tailed production in the oil fields
reclamation work is not progress
ing as rapidly as planned, tho re-
payments from the projects are
greater than had been anticipated,
DR.. Meade told the local men. How
ever he thinks there will be nc
further decrease from this cause
and development work will proceed
as speedily as the revolving fund
will permit
M. M. Moulton, F. r. White and
Capt. Vickers, directors of the
Kennewick Irrigation District, were
the local men with whom DR.
Meade's party met.

Refrigerators Here
Use No Poisonous Gas

In order to reassure Kennewick
users of electric refrigerators who
have heard of read of the reported
recent deaths in Chicago due to
escaping gas from refrigerator,
Roy Skill, local manager of the
Pacific Power & Light Co., says
that the refrigerators sold here DO
not use the poisonous methyl chior-
ide gas.
Instead, Iquified sulphur diox-
;de combination of sulphur and
orypen. is used as refrigerant.
This compound is nonexplosive
nonflammable and nonexplosive. It
has the added quality of possessing
such a strong odor that the slight
est leak is immediately detected.

And No Drinks

If any argument is still waged
as to whether there are rattlers in
this neck of the sagebrush, those
on the affirmative side will shout
with pardonable glee when they
hear that Harry Packwood drove
into town last Friday with a fat
diamondlback with nine little noise
makers on its tail.
tPackwood killed the snake driv-
ing in on the Umatilla road. The
rattler struck twice, but Packwood
killed it before it hit its mark. II
drew an interested, if somewhat
squeamish, crowd of spectators
when laid on the sidewalk in 'front.'
of the post office.
The shovels and picks working
on the new road to Prosser have
unearthed lively nest of rattle
snakes there whose existence was
unsuspected. The snakes are far
more numerous in the upland dis
tricts than they are near the rivers
Richland, however, lays dubious
claim to several of the scaly ter
rors.

Dairy League Discusses
Financing of Farmers

A meeting of the trustees of the
Yakima Valley Dairy Development
league was held at Yakima Tues
day evening, with large attend
ance. E. E. Springer Of Prosser
and E. C. Durdle, county extsn-
sion agent, representing Kenne-
wick, were the two representatives
from Benton county. The league is
working on plans for financing of
farmers on low rate of interest
and reasonable length Of time
for the purchase of dairy cattle.
Details of the method of financ-
ing have not yet been worked out,
but the president of the league was
authorized to appoint two others,
who with himself, were to arrange
for a meeting with committee
from other centers, including Port
land, Seattle and Spokane, TO see
what could be planned. The gem
eral sentiment seems to favor the
purchase of either young heifer
calves or heifers around year Of
age, rather than more mature
stock. s~, s-se ~
The board passed resolution to
discourage the use Of dairy pro-
ducts as leaders by retail concerns.
The league felt very strongly that
any tendency TO follow practices
Of this kind was tearing down what
the league, a voluntary organiza-
tion aiming at improved dairy con-
ditions within the valley, was try
ing to build up.

AIRPORT GETS
PUBLICITY IN
FLYING NEWS
Visiting Aviation Editor Pre-
diets Rapid Development Of
Air Transportation in West
and Mountain States

Three pages of publicity for the
Kennewick airport and the Hallett
Airways, Inc, have been prepar-
ed by John Patric, of Seattle, pub
Usher of the Weekly Flying News,
and will appear in this weeks is
sue of the magazine.
The development of the airport
during the past and in the future
will be outlined, there will be a
photograph of the Hallett ship and
students on the local port, and a
page of Kennewick aviation per
sonals.
The Flying News is the only
aviation magazine printed weekly
in the entire West, and one of a
very few in the country published
entirely in its own plant, which
Patric has owned in Seattle for
eight years.
"Although the Northwest is at
the present time behind other sec
tions of the country in aviation
and airport development, notably
our neighboring state of California,
there is bound to be great de-
velopment within the next few
years. Our vast distances and so
called barriers of mountains and
inland waterways provide great
difficulties to other means Of
transportation, but no problem at
all to aircraft" said Patric, who
continued: Having completed 9
trip around the United States .
few months ago, visiting airport'
and airplane factories, it seems
to me that the greatest develop
ment in commercial aerial trans
portation will occur in those parts
of the country, such as ours, will
a few existing means of surface
transportation. In the crowded
Eastern centers where frequen
rail and trolley and bus service I
provided to the public, the develop
ment of regular aerial schedule
will not be as fast per capita as !
, will be in the West" -.
