ALL-STAR TEAMS GET
READY FOR STRUGGLE

The all-star Inland Empire foot
ball team went way up in the es-
timation of football fans after the
first workout on the Gonzaga
field Monday, where they showed
UP size, strength and speed. The
Shrine benefit game, whose pro-
ceeds will finance another 20 beds
in the free orthopedic clinic at
Spokane, will be at 80 Saturday
at the Gonzaga stadium. Another
all-star team, picked from the

RIVER NAVIGATION
GROUP TO STUDY


Investigation of three places Of
navigation Of the Columbia river
began Nov. % by the Columbia
Valley association in an attempt
to bring river transportation back.
Supported by q fund raised thru
private subscription, the investi-
CATION will show tannage available
for steamboats, and barges used be-
tween Portland and Pasco and
lewiston, the cost Of erecting
shore terminals best suited to con-
ditions on the river.
United States army engineers
will aid in the determination Of
why the river is not being navi-
gated above Portland, and what
IS necessary to put it into use
again. Whether navigation is inn
PRACTICAL because of the rapids and
the absence of tonnage will also
be studied with the aim in view
Of discovering a special type of
boat which will overcome these
difficulties.

.Pasco Puts Turkey Day
Game in Basket, 27-0

With perfect weather and an en-
thusiastic crowd bent on getting
up appetites for Thanksgiving din
ners, the Kennewick-Pasco grid
clash proved to be a real football
game. Although the score of 27-0
favored Pasco, both teams put
forth some real playing. The SUI
perior teamwork of the Pasco ele-
ven was matched against the de-
termination and individual brillin-
ancy of the Orange and Black
players.
Making a touchdown in each
quarter, and winning all but the
flrst try-for-point, Pasco was at
no time in danger of losing the
game, but Kennewick threatened
the Purple and White goal line sew
eral times. A swift series Of for
ward passes in the third quarter
made the Kennewick boys look
good for q score until they were
stopped two-thirds way down
the field. Crawford's play was out
Standing, as was the work Of Mel
son and Frazier. Compared with
the Armistice Day melee, Kenne.
wick put up a strong fight Thurs
DAY, and in spite of several costly
lumbles, showed the Thanksgiving
crowd an interesting game.

dio is being generally used in adj
vertising thru the cooperation OF
the stations announcers.
Mrs. G. II. Shanafelt, county
seal sale chairman, is in charge Of
the drive in Benton county.
"The purchasing of tuberculosis
Christmas seals offers you the op-
portunity of making some one a
present of the most precious pos
session in the world, health" Mrs.
Shanafelt commented. "These tiny
seals, sold for one cent each, have
made possible an organized cam
paign against tuberculosis. These
accumulated pennies provide tu-
burculosis nurses for a vast num-
Der Of communities, clinics, super
vised by specialists in chest dis
eases, open air schools and pre-
ventoria. Most important Of all is
the widespread educational cam
paign which they make possible.
sFor the past two years, a def
mite program has been carried on
to emphasize the Importance OF
early diagnosis in order to dis
cover the disease IN it latent stage,
especially in childhood, and there
by render preventative measures
more surely effective for early
discovery means early recovery.
Let your letters and Christmas
packages bear these messages OF
health and happiness. Seals will
be placed in the grade schools next
week for sale by the children"

3-Rivers Election
Held in Harmony;
Crops Discussed
Cherries Kennewick's Best
Bet, Says Lampson; Now
cry, Powell, Dam and Hud-
nall Reelected to Board

Marked by harmony, the annual
meeting and election of directors
of the Three Rivers corporation
was held Tuesday morning. j. E.
Mowery, nominated by Richland
to take the place of John Dam,
who resigned, Fl. C. Powell, nomin-
ated by the Finley-Hover district
to succeed himself, were elected to
the board of directors.
One or two minor arguments
were brought up, but there was no
disagreement on major points. Dis
cussion of strawberry grade rules
and varieties was postponed until
a meeting of strawberry growers
is called December Is. A copy Of
the summary made of the finan-
cial condition of the cooperative
by certified accountants was hand
ed to each member present.
The report Of the manager. Lee
Lampson, was heard in detail. It
dealt with markets and market con-
ditions.
Asparagus markets were about
the same this year. April prices
were good, but those of May un-
certain due to competition from
eastern asparagus. The outstand-
ing feature of the strawberry sea-
son was the continuing tendency
which is crowding Kennewick out
of the long haul markets. Straw
berries from Missouri and Ankan-
sas undersold the local product
100 percent in Dakota, Montana
and central Canada. Because Of
changing the variety from Clark's
Seedlings to another berry which
is not such good keeper but .
heavier producer. Last spring was
unique in that it was the first
time since 1922 that California
shipped Strawberries to northwest
markets all during the Kennewick
season.
"The most important factor in
early potatoes" Lampson contin-
ued. ssis the question Of how heav-
ily California will plug our mar
kets. This cannot be predicted
week ahead during the season. The
amount grown here has no serious
effect on prices because any diff
ference will be swallowed up in
the quantity grown by the south
ern state"
Lampson took an optimistic view
of cherries, declaring that it Is
Kennewick's one best bet. The
small crop of this spring brought
unheard of prices for carload lots,
averaging 1858 cents per pound on
Bings. Cherries have a wide sell
ing outlet, and the Kennewick crop
has clear sailing for two-thirds OF
its run, coming between the Cali
fornia and upper valley seasons.

Anton Case Goes
to Re-TriaI; Jury
May Get 1t Today
Highlands Woman, Convicted
Once of Numbering Hus-
band, Claims Second Chance
Because of Poor English

The retrial of Susan Anton, &C.
cused of numbering her husband
last year, is occupying the Benton
county Superior court this week.
Up to late hour this afternoon
the case has not yet gone to the
jury, altho it was expected that it
would be in their hands sometime
tonight.
Mrs. Anton was convicted at the
first trial of numbering her hus-
band while he was sleeping out of
doors in haystack on their ranch
on the Highlands. She professed to
know nothing of his death and sub
mitted that he must have been
kicked in the head by the horses
which were loose in the field.
Of foreign borth and speaking
very broken English, she is bas-
ing her grounds for retrial on the
grounds that she did not at the
time understand the admissions
she made just previous to and dur
ing the trial. She claims to under
stand English better since her
term spent in Jail waiting for a
new trial.
The case is being tried before
Judge Robert M. Jones of Seattle.
Jurors selected are Alice Agnes OF
Hover. school teacher; Adolph
Rudins of Prosser, hotel manager;
L. T. Campbell, Prosser, insurance
agent; R. E. Larkin, Kennewick,
wheat rancher; F. r. Knops, Ken
newick, farmer; A. B. Moffatt OF
Kennewick; Mckinley Desgranges,
Kennewick, refrigerator engineer;
w. Hibbett, Kennewick, farmer; A.
A. Melgard, Prosser, farmer and
Stuart Mercer, Prosser, laborer.

WORK ON LOCAL
FARM SITUATION
Agricultural Appropriations Com
mittee Dealing with Problem
Of Yakima Valley

Numerous agricultural problems
apertaining to the state Of Wash
ington are being thrashed out this
week in hearings Of the Agrical-
tural Committee which visited the
Pacific Northwest last summer.
Foremost of these is an appropria-
tion to carry on experiments to
produce a better variety OF wheat
which will resist more effectively
smut, cold, heat and drouth. Work
along these lines viii be carried on
in conjunction with the Washing
ton State College at Pullman.
Congressman John w. Summers
of Washington, a member Of the
committee, stated that the commit
tee was also making a study of the
animal industry as well as dairy
ing. In this connection the COM
mittee is studying feeding methods
and the handling of stock; market
ing and other phases which VIII
tend to yield better net profits for
the farmer. Work along this line
is Of particular interest to the
farmers Of Benton county and Of
Western Washington.
Beef cattle problems have also
been taken up with the idea Of
aiding the farmer in every tEay
possible and to grant appropzia-
tions so that helpful experimental
work may be carried ont success
fully.
A study Of poultry, its diseases
and other problems of vital import
ance to the poultry raisers is an-
other subject which has received
considerable attention by the COM
mittee.
In the timber field It has been
reported TO the committee that the
Department Of Agriculture has
been successful in eradicating the
European larch canlrer which had
made its appearance in the New
England States. IL was largely on
the insistance Of Congressman
Summers that complete eradication
work was done before the destruc-
tive pests spread to western for
ests.
Congressman Summers will also
insist on ample funds to continue
the fight against white pine bIis-
ter rust in Washinokor O-o..o,,
and Idaho.

Help Us Out!''
= = -
p. o. Frantic

Faced with a mountain Of
Christmas mail which threatens to
be bigger than ever this year, the
post office department has laid
down certain rules whose observ-
ance will greatly aid both sender
and postoffice clerks.
If you are going to send 10 or
more Christmas cards, prepare and
mail them two or three weeks in
advance, as millions are mailed and
cannot possibly be handled and de-
livered if mailed only two or three
days before December %. Patrons
may mail their cards two or three
weeks before, if delivered to the
post office in person, or tied in a
bundle, labeled to show what they
are, and deposited in street let
ter or package box. They will then
be segregated, stamped with the
date on which they are to be de-
livered, and delivery effected one
or two days before Christmas.
=
December IA is the maximum
limit for mail points requiring
four days travel or more; Decem-
Der is for three days, December 18
for two, days and December 20 for
one day. Parcels and cards for To-
cal delivery should be mailed not
later than December 81. Parcels
and envelopes may be marked
"please do not open until Christ
mas"
The use of a special-delivery
| stamp will assure delivery on
Christmas Day if mailed at the
proper time. ALI valuable third and
fourth class mail should be insur-
ed.

Gas at KenneWiCk
By Summer, Says
Assistant Today
Morrison of Northwestern Co.
Predicts Service for This
City and Pasco, Depending
on Prompt Financing

Kennewick and Pasco may have
natural gas service next summer
providing financing arrangements
can be made promptly, according
to j. S. Morrison, assistant to R
B. Newbern of the Northwest Ma
tural Gas company, who spoke at
the Commercial Club luncheon to-
day.
Morrison gave a resume of his
company's operations in the field.
He said his company had over q
million dollars invested in the field
at the present time and that the ina
vestment would prove profitable
over a period of years judging
from results from every test which
they could make. He stated that in
these tests covering a period Of
four months gas was allowed to
escape which would have served
the four towns now piped for q
period of Is months and that the
flow had not been varied thruout
that period.
Every test made of the field had
proven favorable, Morrison said,
and that every. detail of the plans
which the company had made have
been carried out without single
change.
From the wells now producing
there was a daily flow Of in ex-
cess of three million cubic feet Of
gas, but that in states where gas
had been in use for some time
there were state laws which pre-
vented the use Of more than 20
percent of the output. This, he
said was good business practice,
and while Washington had as yet
no laws limiting the sale Of natur-
al gas, his company would con-
form to the accepted practices IN
other sections and would retail but
a limited amount.
Morrison said that his company
had plans for a detailed study Of
the entire northwest which would
be undertaken in the spring. The
best known engineer in the United
States, accompanied by a geologist
of national reputation, will survey
the state with the purpose Of fur
ther development Of the gas and
oil industry.

Re-Finance PIansa 4
Pushed Swiftly by
Water Bond Men
Engineers Report of Column
bia Irrigation District Con-
ditions to Be Basis for
Agreement with Owners

Pursuant to an arrangement with
representatives of the holders of
bonds of the Columbia Irrigation
district, James MeKittrick, engin-
eer for the Federal Land Bank Of
Spokane, and Prof. Hegnauer of
the State College at Pullman spent
everal days in the valley last week
making a study of the lands, crops
and financial affairs of the dis
trict with a view toward rendering
report upon the economic con-
ditions here.
A bondholder committee is now
engaged upon the task Of persuad-
ing some 240 bond holders to de-
posit their bonds with the COM
mittee SO that negotiations can be
taken up with the district direct
ors for the readjustment of the
present bond obligation of the dis
trict. The report of these men,
who are recognized authorities, is
to be used for guidance in the set
tlement which will be worked out.
There have been a number Of
conferences between officers Of the
district, the Federal Land Bank
and representatives of the bond
holders, several Of whom have Wis
tied the district.
"The men who compose the bond
holders committee are a splendid
group of men," says w. c. Null
drow. manager. "They have had
long experience in such work and
are familiar with irrigation dis
trict affairs. They have been fully
posted on our conditions and diff
ficulties, and already know our
situation practically as well as we
do. The quickest and best settle
|ment can come only through every
body's working together. The best
settlement for the bond owner is
one that will be fair and generous
to the land owner, securing his
hearty cooperation. The bondhold-
ers are showing every disposition
to meet the land owners at least
half way"
As soon as the bondholders COM
mittee has secured a substantial
majority of the bonds, they will
be in a position to initiate action,
and Muldrow is sure that no time
will be lost in working out a plan
for the necessary financial read
justment in conjunction with the
district affairs. Commenting upon
the refinancing, Muldrow says,
sIt is a long time since there
has come up a matter so import
ant even vital, to this district, both
town and country, as this pending
bond readjustment. There is an ex-
cellent prospect of a settlement as
speedy as is consistent with the
complications of the matter, and
it will be settlement advantag-
eous to and fully protecting land
owners of the Columbia Irrigation
District"
