Oil Burner Explodes
Under Printing Shop

"Cannons to the right of them,
Cannons to the left of them"
Such might apply to the Cour-
ier-Reporter, only in this case it
is explosions in the back shop; ex-
plosion in the front office; explo-
sion everywhere. Because the oil
burner in the basement of the
Hover block, which is situated di-
rectly underneath the Courier-Re-
porter, shorted last night about
z o'clock and blew up. A similar
explosion occurred last autumn.
The floor in the back shop was
raised about four inches, the roll
ers of the large press were covered
with bits of dirt and calcimine, and
one of the plate glass windows in
the office was broken. Some Of the
bricks in the chimney in Gascoigne
and Fyfe's office were loosened.

At the time of the fire, all of the

wick to 90 to the scene of the fire,
oven if it could have arrived in

which is owned by C. C. Williams
was partly covered by insurance.

NEGOTIATIONS
DROPPED BY
ASSOCIATIONS
No Concentrated Marketing
Plan for Crops of Straw
berries, Asparagus, Pota-
toes will be Effected Now

Negotiations between the Yah-
ma Fruit Growers Association and
the 8 Rivers Growers Association
have been broken off and the plan
for concentrated marketing of the
ground crops of asparagus, straw
berries and early potatoes will not
be effected this season.
In an unofficial conference be-
tween Captain ]. w. Vickers, vice
president of the 8 Rivers board,
and j. Walter Hebert, general
manager of the Big "Y'', and DR..
James, president of the latter or
ganization, in Yakima yesterday,
the conclusion was reached that
cooperation could not be completed
this year.
The 3 Rivers organization has
made their budget for this year and
has entered into an agreement
with Lee Lampson,, their manager,
to sell their crops this year. It is
impossible for them, under the
circumstances, according to Wick
ers, to enter into an additional con-
tract for an outside salesman to
merchandise their early crops. He
bert would not agree to any sales
man, who at present, is employed
by any of the contracting organi-
cations.
Regret was expressed by the
Big "Y" that the plan which He
bert proposed was not suggested
to both organizations at the time
of their annual meetings. It is an
ticipated that similar program
will be considered by the associa-
tions next year.
While no marketing plan, which
will cover the entire production Of
early crops of the district, viii be
in use this year, negotiations were
dropped in the conference yester-
day with a spirit of good feeling
and mutual understanding on the
part of both associations.

SEDAN TURNS
OVER ON ROAD
AT RICHLAND
Six Kennewick Young Per-
sons Returning from Dance
Shaken Up; Dorothy Hew-
tits Arm is Broken

A Chevrolet sedan in which six
young persons were returning
from a dance at Richland last
night, overturned on the highway
just this side of the Richland club
house at 1880 o'clock. The occu-
pants of the car, Lawrence Scott,
the owner, Ethelyn Kit, who was
driving, Dorothy Hewitt, Neil Pad
en-, Enid Rider, and Dallas Cookie
sustained merely shock and bruises
except Dorothy Hewitt, who had
her left arm broken above the ell
bow, as far as could be ascertain
ed this morning.
The condition of the pavement,
which was a sheet of ice in GER
tain places because of the chinook,
which this district is experiencing,
caused the accident, according to
iPaden. The highway, where the
accident occurred, is straight, but
the car skidded into the ditch and
turned over.
The car was righted by the men,
who had been riding in it, with the
assistance of other persons return
ing from the dance. Scott and Pad
en- were able to drive the car to
town. Other occupants of the car
were brought to town by other
persons returning from Richland.

STATE UNITY
STRESSED BY
YAKIMA MAN
Faith" is Topic of Address
by A. C. Cherry at Meeting
in Observance Of Washing
ton Week.

washington needs state unity
and state consciousness" A. G.
Cherry of Yakima said Tuesday
noon at the meeting sponsored by
the Kennewick Kiwanis Club and
the Comercial Club in observance
of Washington Week. Mr.. Cherry
spoke on Faith" "The purpose
of this meeting and similar meet
ings, which are being held through
out the state this week is to In
culcate this idea into the residents
of the state" he continued.
'sThere is a sound basis for this
belief when one considers the nat
ural resources of Washington. Vast
acres of virgin forests comprise
the largest body of standing tim
Der in the United States. The only
large coal acreage in the North
west is situated in Washington
and our other mineral resources
have just begun to be developed.
We have some of the finest harbors
in the world and more potential
water power than any state in the
Union.
"In farm products, Yakima coun-
ty stands fifth in the United States
as the Yakima valley is one of the
richest valleys in the world and
the possibilities of the Columbia
basin lands are unlimited. In our
fisheries and in brick and tile pro-
ducts, we stand second to none.
Our climate and our scenic beau
ties are unsurpassed and it only
needs faith in our economic and
natural resources to sell Washing
ton to the world.
''We have in this state a high
type of citizen, men who love their
homes and who have faith in each
other. Fellowship is necessary for
each man to achieve the highest
that is in him and team work be-
tween men is essential if the COM
munity is to prosper. The element
of character determines the success
of nation and the character of
men determines statehood"
DIR. L. G. Spaulding, president
of the Kiwanis Club, presided. r.
w. Sprague, president of the Conn
mercial Club, concluded the meet
ing as DIR. Spaulding was called
away before the end of it.
Mis- Patricia Longmire, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. G. Longmire,
dressed in ballet costume of gold
en- yellow, did a Daffodil dance at
the conclusion of the luncheon.

LEGISLATURE MAY
PASS DRY BILLS
Prohibition Forces Seem to be in
Control of Legislature This
ss Year at Olympia

Prohibition forces seemingly are
in control of the Legislature, and
the indications, are that several
measures for strengthening the
state dry laws will be passed.
Tests made in the house showed
that the drys are strong enough
and in the mood to see to it that
the several prohibition bills are
pushed along, instead of being
buried in committees as in the
1927 Legislature. In fact, the drys
of the house already showed signs
committees, that they wanted the
dry bills placed on the calendar
and, it can be recorded, the rules
committee hastened to obey. Then,
when the dry bills were placed on
second reading, the prohibition
forces defeated every attempt to
weaken the bills with amendments.
So far, tests indicate that prohib-
ition can count on the support of
at least 63 of the 81 members of
the house.
Up to date, the house has acted
on three bills. 1t passed the drunk
en- driver" bill, introduced by Rep
resentative Hall, Spokane, which
provides for sitter penalties
5000 fine and six months in Jail,
forfeiture of drivers license on
the second offense and depriving
judges of the discriminating power
of suspended sentences for drunk
en- drivers"

WHEAT GROWERS
TO MEET FEB. 25
Arrangements Have Been Com
pleted for One-Day Session
of Dry Land Farmers

Arrangements have been COM
pleted for one day meeting of
the wheat growers of the county
and other nearby dry land wheat
sections, to be. held at the Com
munity Club rooms at Prosser, on
Monday, Feb. 25. The program
will start at 9:30 o'clock and the
meeting will close probably at 4
o'clock.
This meeting is the direct re-
suit of a request from wheat grow
ers of the Horse Heaven section.
The purpose is to hold a round
table meeting with Leonard Heg-
nauer, extension crops specialist
and Mr.. Wanser of the Lind Ex-
pertinent station. 1t is anticipated
that newer information will be
available as the result of expert
mental work at the Lind station.
Both of the above men will be
present at the meeting.
A large part of the program will
consist of round table discussions.
However, some of the farmers
have asked particularly for dis
cussion of wheat varieties best
adapted to this section and for
discussion of the problem of trac-
tors VS.. horses in this section. The
making of artificial manure from
straw thru the use of chemicals
and weed control will also be dis
cussed. It is probable that all of
these topics will come up for dis
cussion in the forenoon, leaving
the larger part of the afternoon
program to a round table discus
sion following the discussion of the
above topics by Mr.. Hegnauer and
Mr.. Wanser.

panic by wagons and camping
outfits, crossed the Columbia
river on the ice Saturday at
Hanford. The band belongs to
George Hendricks. As this is the

on the ice, the sight created
much interest and a large group
of people gathered on the river
bank to watch the crossing and
to take pictures of it.

al music between acts.
The music was excellent, the

markably well, and the chorus
work being all that could be be de-
sired. The little role of Princess

Eurada Vinson, who was most
charming maid of Japan. Anon

istic cat without "a moral institu-
ton" The role of FAIRY Moon
beam" was taken by Dorothy Al
lison, who sang with lovely voice
"the song of the fairies" The
fairies were from the Washington

cess were Rosalie Whitney, All
leen Olbrich, Alice Altroge and Ed
ma Goodnight.
