APPOINT JACK FROST
RECEPTION COMMITTEE

A. w. Cook, who has had charge
of the frost warning service in the
county for the past few years, is
back again and is getting his equip
nent ready for the work this spring
He was in this valley Tuesday, setting
up the stations here.
Mr.. Cook started the work a few
years ago with a few stations at
Kennewick but the scope of the
service has been extended so that
it now includes all Of Benton county
with six stations at Kennewick, six
at Prosser, six in this valley and
one each at Benton City. and
Richland. The stations in this valley
will be at the same locations as last
year, the three at White Bluffs being
at the Alex Parke, George Bradshaw
and Ira Hawley places. A fourth will
be located at the Albert Grell place
in the In-B-Tween and the two at
Hanford at the Norman Anglin and
w. S. Weber places.
Arrangements are being made with
Mr.. Wilkinson of the local telephone
company IT, again broadcast the
warnings in this valley, Mr.. Cook said.
No definite date has yet been fixed
for starting the warnings this spring,
Mr.. Cook said Thee weather has
been holding back the fruit buds and
the warning will not be started until
they have swollen enough to be in
danger from frost. XXI
Accurate thermometers are neces-
sary where growers are depending on
them to determine the temperatures
and Mr.. Cook says he will be in
White Bluffs next Tuesday forenoon,
March &c, to test the thermometers
for growers in this valley. He will
be at the cold storage plant and he
requests that all growers who want
their Thermometers tested should
leave them at the cold storage plant
not later than Tuesday morning.
In travelling over the county setting
up his stations, Mr.. Cook said, he
found the prospects for soft fruit
somewhat varied. In the Prosser dis
trict he said he believed there would
be fair crop of all kinds of soft fruit.
The same condition, he thought would
prevail in this valley. In the Benton
City, Kennewick and Richland dis
tricts the winter injury has just about
wiped out the soft fruit with the
exception of the cherry crop on the
higher ground wich promises a fair
yield. -.r.

A REAL EVENT

The Carabet dance in Community
hall in Hartford last Saturday lived up
to all prediction promises and was
just about the most enjoyable affair
of its kind given in the valley in the
past, year. So. 4.siss 5.gs,.
The dance attracted an unusually
large crowd, there being a. number
of the older people there who do not
make haiti of attending dances,
but who thoroughly enjoyed every
minute of it.
The little acts. dialogues and songs
that were on the program between
dances were all good and added the
spice of diversion that helped to make
the evening enjoyable.
The green punch, cake and sard-
witches were served at the little tables
about the hall, la cabaret, also had
their part. in making the evening
success. The service was high class
and UP to date and the attractive walters
in their white uniforms and grateful
and pleasing manner also added nice
little touch to the affair.
The dance was sponsored by the
White Bluffs Bands official musical
organization of Benton County Pom
ona Grange. ard the funds raised will
be used in helping to finance the band
in the trip to the state grange meet
ing in Spokane in June.
The total gross receipts for the even
ing were $l87.O6 and after dedr,:ting
incidental expenses the net receipts
were 1898. The gross sales of the
lunch and punch were $52.05; table
reservations SIS; cigarette girl So: and
the balance from the sale of dance
tickets.
The band Toys have asked the
Spokesman to expess their apprecia-
ton to every one who helped in any
way in making the affair success.

TO EMPLOY AN ATTORNEY

A meeting of the new water COM
nittee was held Tuesday evening at the
high school. Due to the illness of the J..
F. Bleakley, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee appointed to draw up tentative
bylaws and constitution for the pro-
posed corporation of water users, that
matter had to be passed up for the time
being. A committee was appointed to
solicit funds for the employment of an
attorney to represent the water right
owners in the litigation that will come
up as the receivership draws to close.
At present the water right owners are
not represented by counsel in this pro-
ceeding and as matters are to be deter
mined by the court within the next
few months that will have consider
able bearing on the water right owners
interests, it is important that they
have an attorney to represent them.
If the day is nice numter of the
water Users are planning to drive up
to Priest Rapids next Sunday for a
picnic dinner and to look over the
power site. The river is unusually low
at this time, affording an exceptional
opportunity to, view the rapids.

Governme ent Trying to Break Down His Evi-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Efforts by the Government counsel to break down the testimony of Capt. J. K. Robison, retired Navy of ficer, that the Elk Hills lease was awarded only half of the oil re- serve to the Pan American Com pany was started as soon as the Fall case was resumed this morn ing.
 Capt. Robison was in charge of the Navy Bureau of Engineering at the time the lease was negotiated.
 Capt Robson was placed on the stand yesterday by the defense counsel in an attempt to disprove charges that Fall accepted $100,- 0G0 bribe from E. L. Doheny for approving the lease. Robison tes- tified Doheny agreed to bid on tho Pearl Harbor project only after the Naval officials sketched to him the horrors that war might come on the Pacific Coast and the ne- cessity of having a fuel supply sta- tion at Pearl Harbor
