GROWERS BEGINNING !.
TO HARVEST WlNESApS

The fruit warehouses have been
this week packing Romes and Deli
cious. The harvesting OF these two
varieties will >be nearly finished by
the last of the weak although IN
some of the larger orchards they will
not be off the. trees until the tirst
few days in October,s
A few of the growers started the
last of the week to pick their Wine
saps and number OF others plan 20
start the first of next week. The
Saps in many Of the orchards have
not taken on as much color as the
growers would like but the pressure
tests show that they are about ready
to be picked. The failure to color is
attributed to warm nights, CLOUDY
weather and smoky weather that
prevailed up until about week ago.
In both the Yakima and Wenatchee
valleys this same condition prevailed
and affected the coloring OF the Jona-
thans and this variety ripened and
began falling before the growers re-
allied their condition, and picking
crews were hurriedly gathered to
save as many Of them as possible.
The White Bluffs Warehouse
shipped four cars of packed Bart
lett pears this week. Although these
pears were harvested and packed,
in August, They snowed
no decay whatever and were as
firm as the day they went into cold
storage.

SAYS CROPS BAD IN EAST

Mrs. Robert Brant of Kansas
City, who is Sere on a visit with
her brother, ]. H. Cole, at the Com
mercial hotel, says that farming con-
ditions in Missouri and Kansas, in
the vicinity of Kansas City, are
particularly bad this year. It rained
so much this spring that the farmers
there were unable to plant any crops
until the first of July and the al
most total absence of any moisture
after that date ruined whatever crop
prospects they had. As conse-
quence, the price of all farm prod
ucts are unusually high, potatoes
for instance, Mrs. Brant says, now
selling for more than 5 cents per
pound and expected to go higher.
Mrs. Brant expects to return home
next week and she says that her
baggage allowance will be made up
largely of good Washington pota-
toes and other eatables.

PROMISES EXTENSIVE
GAS Development

Development that contemplates
the drilling of two gas wells within
the next sixty days and $50 within
the next two years, was announced
Wednesday by E. Edgar Adkins of
Los Angeles, who states that he
has purchased oil and gas leases on
over 5000 acres of land in the gas
region, says the Pasco Herald. Con-
tinuing, the Herald says:
Some of the land is in the pres
ent gas district, some near Mabton,
some near Priest Rapids and some
north of the present field on Rattle
snake butte. Mr.. Adkins stated
that he proposed to get large pro-
duction as early as possible and
then pipe the gas to Portland, Sc
attic and Spokane and cover all the
intervening territory. The country
he contemplates covering has a
little over a million population in
the cities and larger towns, he stated
and this population would furnish
market for some 100000, 900
cubic feet Of gas per month.
Mr.. Adkins states further that
the quality of the gas found here
is higher than that found anywhere
else in the United States, having
almost twice the heating capacity
of that found in California and be-
ing higher even than that of the
Pennsylvania gas. He further COM
putes the price of the gas as re-
tail prices Of the amount equal to a
ton Of coal as being $500 for house.
hold consumption and &.24 for
industrial use, thus representing a
saving of approximately 60 per cent
on fuel.
The possibilities of the growth
of industries in the northwest as
a result of the introduction of gas
was brot out by Mr.. Adkins as well
as it's use to produce cheap electric
power.
The proposed company has no
connection with the group that is
row laying pipe lines toward va.
kina and has not acquired any OF
the wells held by that company
The Investigations of the COM
pany have covJed Benton, Frank
lin, Grant, Yakima and Walla
Walla counties and indications OF
gas and oil have been found in all
Of them"

MIAMI SIGNS
BIG BATTLES
Garden Will Put On Annual
Heavyweight Fight For
Next Five Years

MIAMI, Fla, March 1.-CP)-The
turnStiles will click for at least five
more winters underneath the palm
trees, by the terms of a new agree
ment between the Miami city CON-
mission and the Madison Square
Garden corporation, calling for an
annual heavyweight feature bout to
be staged here ver the period in
Guiding 1930-34.
Negotiations, carried on by Will
liam F. Carey for the Garden cor
poration with the Miami city COM
mission, were completed yesterday.
The agreement means further full
fillment of the dreams of Tex Rick
ard, who not only laid the ground
work for the Sharkey- Stribling bat
tie, but revealed before his death
definite plans to establish a per-
manent winter fight headquarters
in this section.
Jack DempSey1S name was not
mentioned in the announcement Of
the agreement. but it is believed the
former champion will be induced
to support the forthcoming annual
southern fiStic features.
Miami Beach, scene of the Shar-
key-Stribling fight, offered no coun-
ter bid for future bouts, as a con-
sequence of local objections to eth
er retaining the Flamingo Park
arena or building another in that
city next winter.

I got. Not many people paid much
attention to me. You see, SO many

me as just another one of those
foreign fellows.
So l said nothing but went to a
surgeon, who treated my hand and
eventually made it as good as the
other. Meanwhile. during the sum-

but always was turned down.
Finally Thomas McArdle, the Gar

FRENCH WAR HERO NIPS
KILBANE

His skull kept intact by silver
plates and his body bearing marks
Of half a dozen wounds, Eugene
Criqui, French war hero, CraWled
into a New York ring June 2, 1923,
and administered a tasty beating to
Johnny Kilbane, world feather
wight champion.
Before the fight Criqui was far
from being popular. The wise guys
laughed at the War-worn battler
and predicted a swift and sure
knockout win for Kilbane, consid-
cred one OF the greatest Of cham
pionS at the weight.
The fight was almost a farce, all
right, but the other way around.
Kilbane, having been absent from
the ring for a long time, was al
most a Setup for the fighting little
Frenchman.
For the first few rounds Kilbane
stood up against Criqui's attacks.
And then the champion began to
fade. His showing became SO
wretched that all spectators knew
his time was up.
Criqui was anything but a dyna-
mic, savage fighter, yet his attack
was too strong for Kilbane, who
had defended his title only twice
in two years. In the sixth round
Johnny Crubpled up and passed
out of the picture.
The new champ held his title but
a few weeks. when he lost it on
points to Johnny Dundee. The Sec
ond bout, which was also held in
New York, drew $134,000.

JACK DEMPSEY
MOST POTENT
Ring FIGURE
BY ALAN J. GOULD
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Editor.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Mar. 1.-(P1
The main mystery in the boxing
business, if not the success Of the
whole heavyweight program for
1929, still revolves around the dy-
manic figure Of the Jack Dempsey.
The fight crowd that came here
for the big show left apparently
more interested III whether Demp-
sey will fight again this year, thanf
i'll what will happen next to eithef
Of the principals Of the melodramaf-
Of Miami Beach.
Dempsey would like to fight once
more; first. because he loves the
cutting game; second. because it,
would afford him a chance to re-
gain heavy weight championship
recognition and retire at least
100000 richer. Jack admits all this.
The reasons are potent in favor of a
comeback but it is a question
whether they will be sufficient.
Il don't know, honestly, what +
will do" he said. I've been turn
ing thinoS over in my mind, of
course. lJo hard TO keep away from
the game. But you know, I'm no
spring chicken any more" W
If Dempsey Zoe not return to the
ring, it is entirely conceivable that
the final test for number one rank
ing position amoT the heavy
weights for 1929 may involve two
foreign sluggers-MaX Schmeling of
Germany, who punched his way to
fame with a knockout victory over
Johnny Risko, and the acrobatic
basque. Pauline Uzcudun.
Pauline is confident he can 'take"
Sharkey if they meet, as appears
likely, at the Yankee Stadium in
June. Schrneling has passed all
tests with honOrs so far. A Paulino-
Schmeling match would lack Moth
ing in color and interest.

I climbed into the ring to face
Monte. I did not blame the spec

l started the fight with 4 good
hard punch which staggered Monte.
from then on I gave him a good
beating until the eighth found.
Then l knocked him out.
It was much easier to get nv

In my next fight I stopped this
fellow Pietro CORR.
No Wthe promoters and the fight
fans suddenly awakened to the
knowledge that ! knew how to
fight. Many aid / might some day
be the champion. Others laughed at
the idea.
1t was decided to give me a real
test. I was matched with Johann
or Johnny (2S you Americans call
hlm) RiSko of Cleveland. RiSko
had been beaten often before but
1t was believed no one could knock
hlm out. He was a dangerous man.
The fight was to be q test for me,
to see if l really had a hard punch.
But 1 wasn't worried.
Max" l said to myself, this is
the Franz Diener fight all over
again. If Risko beats me I may as
we'll take the next boat home to
Hambugr. If / beat him I will be-
come as famous and as popular over
here as l became in Europe when I
defeated Diener."
So l t Nined strenuou5ly for the
