The first car of cherries in the

Fields TO See Producers; Three
Under Way

That the states only producing
gas wells were located in Benton
county was forcibly brought to the
attention of the city councilmen
and the mayor when they were TAX

of the fact that a California con-
Germ was asking for gas fran
chise in KennewiclS, hackers Of the
local gas fields desired the council
men to see for themselves the de-
velopment which was being under
taken in this community.
At the fields there are seven pro-
ducing wells, with two more now
digging and a third ready to 60
ahead. The gas is being piped un-
der pressure to supply several Of
the towns up the valley and as
soon as a larger production is OBJ
tanned, officials assured the visi-

Kennewick. They expected that
this could be accomplished late
this summer or by early fall.

Nelson Removed
10 PenitentiarY
When Sentenced
Richland Banker Given 2 to
10 Years on Each Count;
Pleads Guilty on All Four
Charges When Tried

Sentenced to two to 10 years in
the state penitentiary on each Of
four counts, A. L. Nelson, former
cashier Of the defunct Security
State Bank of Richland, was tax
en- to Walla Walla Tuesday night
by Sheriff James Shepherd. Judge
Matt Driscoll's sentence followed
Nelson's plea Of guilty on four
counts before the Benton county
court at Prosser.
Nelson was arrested in April on
the complaint of D. S. Moody, the
state bank examiner, and charged
with making false entries in the
books and records of the bank for
the purpose of deceiving examin-
ers; making false statements of
the condition Of the bank to- state
officials; forgery of a
promissory note and use of the
same as collateral and making
fictitious entries in the records to
show the banks liabilities to be
less than they really actually were.
The ex-cashier, who had been at
liberty on $4,000 bond, declined
to make any statements after his
sentence. Moody said that Nelson
the charge but declared
that he had not profited person
ally but had only violated the law
in an attempt to save the bank
from ruin.

Bonds Defeated
As Voters Make
Decision Known
District Rejects S37,500 Issue
For New Building, Repairs
Discussion of Another
Election

The special school bond election
last Saturday failed to register
the required three-fifths in favor
of the issue, although over three
hundred people voted upon the
question. The proposition was for
a special bond issue of $37, 500 to
be spent for alterations and repairs
to the high school building and the
construction of an adequate gym
nasium.
One of the most serious fea-
lures in the failure of the bond is
sue, pointed out by one of the
members of the school board, is
the fact that certain amount of
the repairs have become necessary
and cannot longer be postponed.
New floors in the high school
building, repairs to the roof and
to the heating plant must be- pro-
vided for this summer. This ex-
pense will amount to ten or twelve
thousand dollars and must be paid
for under the existing circum-
stances, this year. These items
were provided for in the bond is
sue, which would have allowed the
payment to have been spread over
the life of the issue. This fact was
not understood by large number
of the voters and since it has be-
come better known there is some
serious talk of asking the board to
put the matter up for further con-
sideration.

Big Return from
Early Crop Sale
Asparagus Has Record Sea-
sou. With Good Prices; Can

mand: Yields Strong

a,pick,s early crops nave
: oome to the front in spite
ss AZ rather unusual spell of cool
o. sln the district has been ex-
psr;sncing this spring.
ssnaragus, the crop which IS
,,.lipp Kennewick famous and
n ms, has made a remarkable
sghowing. Last year, one OF the best
s experienced for this CROP
has been left far in the rear by the
showing made this season, both IN
Quantity and price. Shippers estl-
rata that there has been better
.bsn forty percent increase in the
quantity and that the price will
sun between sl.O5 and $1.1o net to
the grower for an average price.
Furthermore, while most OF the
growers have stopped cutting for
The season, there has been and is
Til al, active demand from the
esnneries.
This cannery angle is one, too,
-bich has made much for the To-
eal grass situation. Normally the
Nav markets have been, to say
the least, not so good. This year
the price has been raised from five
and a half cents to seven cents,
plus the cost Of the container, f.
Oh. Kennewick. In addition to the
satisfactory contract with the Sum
uyside cannery, two Canadian
osnneries have purchased grass and
one in Oregon is still clamoring
for larger tonnage.
Heretofore it has been consider
ed impossible to ship grass to the
canneries satisfactorily. This year
: carload was shipped to Hamilton,
Ontario in a freight car and upon
its arrival the draft was promptly
forwarded with a request for four
Z eight cars more.
y Some very high yields have been
reported, too, this season. T. M.
Gardner, Of the valley, has har-
vested over thousand boxes of
grass from an acre and a half.
Other report similarly large pro-
auctions. The strawberry situation
has turned out particularly fine
this year. Some high yields have
been reported, the largest that has
come to the writer's notice is that
on the II. Gerber place in the low
er valley. On an acre and a quarter
Of Clark Seedlings the Gerbers har-
vested $50 crates. On the same siz-
ed patch of Gibsons, they report a
yield of $50 crates. A thousand
crates Of strawberries from two
and half acres! While definite
figures have not yet been compiled
it is thought that the price for the
year will average well up around
sS.25 per crate, as against SITS
last year.
The cherry crop, ruined beyond
al hopes early in the spring, will
make some surprising records this
year. The Parks orchard on the
highlands will harvest more cher
mes than ever before; the Liebel
place will pack out record crop,
while the Williams orchard will
produce ITS greatest tonnage this
year.
