Roosevelt Christensen
Is on Wrestling Squad

Sixteen wrestlers, including
Roosevelt Christensen, Kennewick,
were chosen this week by Harold
Berridge, coach, to compose the
wrestling squad this season. Christ
ensen, who is entered in the 145
pound division, won a letter in
wrestling last year. With only
four lettermen on the entire squad,
Berridge started intensive train

COPPER WIRE
STOLEN FROM
FAIR GROUNDS
Theft Discovered Saturday by
Herman Schmidt, treasurer
of Association, on tour of
Inspection.

Three thousand to 1000 feet of
copper wire was stolen from the
Fair grounds some time Friday,
according to Herman Schmidt
treasurer of the association. The
wire, which was insulated, was
used for outside illumination and
was valued at between $4,000 and
$175.O0.
The time of the theft was deter
mined as Friday because marks
were left where the wire had been
removed after the snow had disap-
peared. Mr.. Schmidt has been in
the habit of going down to the
Fair grounds at intervals to see
that everything is in satisfactory
condition and happened to make
a tour of inspection on Saturday.
Some copper wire has been sold
to local concern, which the police
think may be some of the wire
taken from the Fair grounds. The
wire is difficult to identify as it is
cut in short lengths with the insul-
alton burned off. The thieves have
not been apprehended yet.
Members of the board of the
Fair association discussed the adj
visibility of removing the wire
this autumn, but decided not to as
the cost of removing it and put
ting it up again would have been
approximately go per cent of the
total investment. 1t has been sug-
gested by members of the board
that it may be necessary to equip
some kind of an abode on the Fair
grounds where q couple can live
to protect the grounds and build
ings from further thievery.

'KENNEWICK TO
BE HOME PORT
FOR HALLETTS
Flying School will Have Head
quarters in Kennewick;
Municipal Airport will be
Improved and Developed

Kennewick is to become the home
port of the Hallet Flying School
and the municipal airport recently
acquired will have immediate inn
provement and development.
Geo. Hallett, lieutenant in the
aviation section of the army, with
four years of teaching and COM
mercial flying, will conduct the
school and have charge of the
building of the landing field.
Mr.. Hallett spoke before the XII
wants Club Tuesday and before
the Commercial Club today. He has
made proposition to the business
men of the city for the establish
ment of the school here and is re-
ceiving hearty cooperation from
them.
The company will shortly have
one of the new monoplanes of the
type in which Miss Bobby Trout
established the woman's nonstop
record recently. The plane will car
ry one passenger in addition to the
pilot and will be equipped with
dual controls. 1t has cruising
speed of s5 miles per hour, and can
land and take off at about thirty
miles. Fuel consumption has been
reduced to a cost of about SLIPS
per hour in this new type ship and
it has several of the newest fea-
lures making for stability and
safety.
Work will begin this week in
clearing the field, which has been
acquired on Mob Hill and a hangar
will be built in time to house the
new airplane.
In addition to the flying school
which will be established, the Hall

Fair Weather Brings
Out Local Golf Fans

With the advent of fair weather,
all of the devotees of the niblick
and mashie have descended to the
basement or ascended to the attic
to dust off their clubs and to in
spect their balls. Old golf sweaters
have been resurrected and holes in
the elbows, which have been poked
through by shoveling coal this win
ter, have been patched.
Last Sunday found the jack rab-
bits scurrying for the open coun-
try as balls resounded on the fair
ways and clicked on the oiled
greens. Members of the Kennewick
golf club report that the course
is in excellent condition. Green is
beginning to show on the fair
ways and the oiled greens are al
most as satisfying now as they
are in summer when they receive
regular attention.
Among the local adherents to
the ancient game, who were noticed
on the golf course Sunday, were
Floyd Higley, H. G. Gall, c. l..
Holcomb, Herb Shanafelt, DR.. r. L.
Lundy and Don Thompson "A
meeting of local golfers will be
called some time next week to lay
plans for the coming playing sea-

LEGISLATURE
HAS 600 BILLS
TO DISPOSE OF
Several Hundred Bills May be
Left High and Dry with
only Is Days for Consider
alton.
BY RICHARD HAMILTON

oy OxN
Things began to happen in the
Washington Legislature this week,
but chiefly in the way of rejection
and obstruction, and it now looks
as if the program of Governor
Hartley for Capitalization of au-
thority and responsibility is going
to be wrecked on the legisla-
tive rocks. But Mr.. Hartley will
not be alone, because several hum
dred other bills will surely be left
high and dry when the legislators
hike off for their homes.
Consider the record and pros
poets: The legislature has been in
session 45 days, which leaves Is
days to go.
More than 700 bills have been in
troduced, which number, by elimi-
mating uncontested repeal mea-
sures, can be reduced to 625. And,
leaving out the repeal bills, only
27 measures have been passed as
this is written, leaving 600 bills
on hand.
Mr.. Hartley has submitted 49
executive request" bills, of which
only two have passed both houses,
while one has been killed. The
rest are in committees or have
passed one house without having
been passed by the other.
Of course the legislature may
suddenly decide to grind out the
bills by the wholesale. But, as
things stand, with only Is days to
go most anybody would be justified
in standing up and proclaiming:
"Oh, my countrymen, what a jam!"
Monday brought resounding
break, which was followed by other
breaks and threats of revolt.
First, the house, generally re-
parded as friendly to Mr.. Hartley,
caused a surprise and created a
stir by defeating the Hartley bill
for the abolition of the millage
levy system for the university,
college and normal schools. The
vote was So to 43, recording the
governors first defeat of the ses-
sion.
Moreover, the defeat of the mill
age bill saw Representatives Mark
Reed and Ed Sims, erstwhile rival
leaders, join hands and take a
whipping together. And that in it
self is SO unusual that it must be
regarded as something significant.
Four years ago Mr.. Reed led the
big fight for enactment of the bill,
and Monday, when he essayed to

Baseball and Skates
Harbingers of Spring

Spring is here! And it does not
take the thermometer, which is
steadily rising, to prove it.
Baseball has started on all of
the vacant lots of town. Almost
any afternoon after school, will
find bunch of boys on one of the
corner lots making home runs and
stealing bases. New baseballs have
been invested in and the old gloves
found and put into condition after
a winters rest.
Roller skates are in evidence too
and are not confined to the boys
alone. Whoops and spills and skim
ned knees seem to be the lot of
the venturesome as they careen
around the corners and make per-
feet circles on their skates.
A few of the younger generation
have taken to "lasooing" with en-
phasis on the double 0, as they
call it. And this latter sport nee
essitates a wary eye for the pass
erby or he will find himself lashed
to a tree by the bold cow boys.
When the youngsters are dress
ed up on Sundays, kodaks are COM
ing out of bureau drawers and off
the top closet shelf, to show by
snapshots just how much Johnnie
has grown during the winter.
Grandmother will like that infect
ious grin and do you suppose she
will approve of the pompadour?

CHANCES FOR
BRIDGE NOT
TOO BRIGHT
Item in Governors Budget
for Purchase is Taken Out
Commercial Club Works
to Have it Reinstated

Possibilities of the state taking
over the highway bridge between
Kennewick and Pasco are none too
bright, according to special COM
mittee which visited the capital
last week end. C. Diller Fratt, one
of the members of the committee
reported his experiences at the
regular meeting of the CONNER
cial Club today.
Word was received here last
week that the appropriations COM
mittee of the legislature had
stricken the item for the purchase
of the bridge from the budget as
prepared by the governor. The
special committee was sent to Oly-
mpia to see what could be done
to reinstate the item.
AS the matter now stands, the
item is out. To have it re-instated,
it must be replaced by Represent
ative Julius Hubbell of Ellens-
burg, who is none too friendly to
the proposition. Should the item
be replaced in the budget, it would
be necessary to have it passed by
the Legislature as a body.
Mr.. Fratt reported an astounding
lack of knowledge in Olympia
about the bridge, as well as an
equal amount of Indifference. He
felt that the committee had arous-
ed an interest which might be suf-
ficient to put the deal over.
Another committee will ibe sent
to Olympia this week to lobby for
the purchase of the bridge.

the opening of the grass and ber-
ry seasons. A car of strawberry
boxes arrived yesterday and car
of hallocks arrived today. A car
of grass shook will arrive Satur-
day. The three hallock stitching
machines will be started next
week and will work until the berry
season is over. While the price of
first class box shook is higher
this year, the delivered cost of the
crates will remain the same as last
year.
Mr.. Lampson states that there
has been about ten per cent in
crease in the berry acreage this
year. Though the acreage of the
grass has not been greatly en-
larged, the increased productivity
will give a considerably greater
tonnage over previous years. The
opening date for grass shipments
will be about normal, according to
Mr.. Dampson; that is, about the
first of April. From 1922 to 1925
the first shipments of grass were
made about April first. In 1926,
the early year, the first grass roll
ed on the 18th of March. In 1927
and '28 it was the middle of April.

C.. C.. WILLIAMS
BUY EXCHANGE
E. G.. Lape Sells Business
Back to Former Owners !;
New Management Assumes
Control Monday

Alfred C. Anon and Carl Viii
liams have purchased the Farm
ers Exchange from E. G. Lape, to
whom they sold the business about
six months ago. They took charge
of the business Monday of this
week.
Anon and Williams started the
business several years ago, deal
ing exclusively in farmers merch-
andise, specializing in dairy cattle
and feed. They, being practical
farmers of long experience in this
section, had a, special knowledge
of farmers requirements. Desir-
GUS also of building up the dairy
industry of the community they
have continually striven to re-
place the poorer grade cows with
animals of proven production.
During the favorable weather,
the Farmers Exchange sponsored
a series of auction sales for farm
ers, which proved popular. Here
people sold, bought and exchanged
property for only the cost of the
services. The firm
will again arrange this feature if
there is sufficient demand for it.
While they are planning to dis
continue handling tires, the firm
will continue to operate their
trucks.

WALTER CHAPEL
HERD HEADS LIST
Records of Cows in Herd Improve
ment Association Released
for February

Figures showing the records of
cows registered in the Benton
County Herd Improvement Asso-
citation, during February, have just
been released by Ted Newell, the
tester for the Association.
The average production for the
month per COW is 579.3 lbs. milk
and "a lbs of butterfat. The Walter
Chapel herd led the rest on rec
ords. Mr.. Newell reports that a
total of $40 cows were tested dur
ing the month with 98 cows on the
standard plan basis. There were
nine cows producing 40 lbs of but
terfat or over. A large number of
tail end cows have been turned to
the butcher since the association
has been started.
The summary for February in
three high herds includes Walter
Chapel with cows; 687.3 lbs.
milk, 31.4 lbs. fat, 4.57 per cent
fat and number of cows with more
than 40 Lbs fat, 8; Experiment
Station with 21 cows, 623 pounds
milk, 3O.5 lbs. fat, 3.72 per cent
fat, a cows with more than 40 lbs.
fat; George Chapel with 5 cows,
GIG lbs. milk, % lbs. fat, 4.54 per
cent fat and / cow with more than
40 lbs fat.
Cows producing 40 pounds of
butterfat or more includes Irriga-
tion Branch Experiment Station

fat; "Julia," 1890 lbs milk, 49.S

4O.1 lbs. fat. George Chappel-
"Spot," 1131 lbs. milk, sos lbs.
fat. Rowland and Leonard-"Rose"
1850 lbs. milk, Al lbs. fat.
Due to extreme weather condi-
tions during the month, the aver
ages are not as high as can be
expected and it is felt that next
month the association will have a
much higher record. Several new
herds have entered the association
and will be on test during March.

Priest Rapids Lease
To Expire Tomorrow

The present lease on the Priest
Rapids power site will expire on
March /. Unless construction work
is started by that date, the lease
will be automatically cancelled
after which the title will revert to
the government, according to an
announcement of the secretary of
the water power leasing board in
press dispatches.
While the Priest Rapids site is
probably one of the best hydro
electric power sites in the country,
its most serious drawback is that
it does not seem capable of devel-
opment on the unit plan. If devel-
oped at one time, it would supply
more power than the state of
Washington now consumes.
