Special Cooler; 3 Rivers
Responsible for 6 Straight
Cars So Far

Billed for the East, with New
York as its probable destination,
special gas refrigerator car of
cherries was shipped Wednesday by
the Big Y warehouse. This COM
pany is getting out car of cher
cies day from Kennewicl, most
of which are Bings, with a few
Black Republicans.
TIE Three Rivers got out a car
Wednesday and one today. making
total of six straight cars, Bings
exclusively. They shipped their
first car of early potatoes We'd
nesday, receiving 500 a ton in the
Eastern market. The California
situation is favorable to prices in
this district, since that state is
making only light shipments TO the
northern markets. California is
also having difficulty with tuber
moths, making fumigation of some
carloads necessary. The quality
and size Of the Kennewick crop
show up well in prospect.

ESTIMATE TOO Low
Asparagus, Berries Guido Expec-
tatiOns of Board


Checking up the estimated re-
turns on asparagus and strawber-
ries with the actual, the board of
directors of the Three Rivers
Growers association at their meet
ing Tuesday night, found that the
season turned out much better than
expected. Results of both these
early crops total more than those
of last year. Asparagus made a
particularly fine showing. One of
the main reasons for this, accord
ing to Lee Lampson, manager, was
the development of four outlets for
cannery asparagus, which boosted
the usually depressed May market.
About one-third of the asparagus
was cut during that month this
year.

Newbern Offers
City Tanked Gas
President Says Company
Can Supply Fuel Thus,
Pipes Preferred

Declaring his company willing
to supply natural gas in tank form
if desired by Kennewick people,
R. B. Newborn, president of the
Northwestern Natural Gas COM
pany, in a letter to the Courier
Reporter, said that nevertheless
he viewed the use of natural gas
piped from the field as the best
method. He explained himself as
follows:
In order that our position may
be made clear to the people, /
wish to announce that if the peo-
pie of Kennewick prefer tank gas,
we can and will supply it just as
cheaply as anyone else, provided
we are unable to secure suffic-
lent quantity of natural gas from
your local fields to adequately sup
ply your needs. / do not believe it
is to the best interests of the cit
liens of Kennewick TO supply them
with tank gas as the money ex-
pended would go directly for a
commodity supplied from Califor-
MIA, Oklahoma or Kansas, where
as the expenditures for natural gas
developed in your own locality
greatly tend to develop your own
neighborhood and / hope such de-
velopment will reach the proper
tions it has in California. My per-
sonal opinion is that in time great
quantities of natural gas, as well
as oil, will be produced in your
state. The money that has already
been spent by our company has
been furnished by Kansas people
and has been spent for your bene-
fit. / do not believe anything
should be done now to hamper or
lessen the enthusiasm for develop
ment and the supplying of tank
gas to your city would be an adj
mission on your part that you lack
confidence in your own natural gas
fields and when the people in a
community fail to have confidence
in their own natural resources
they cannot expect others to have
sufficient confidence to spend large
sums of money in developing them.
aThe recent completion of well
about one and half miles from
the center of our previous opera
tions helps greatly to prove the
sufficiency of supply of gas for
Kennewick. / know the people of
Kennewick are DESTROYS of a pipe
line laid to their city at an early
date and we are very anxious to
get this work started. All arrange
ments have been made to start the
pipe line and to commence work on
the city's distribution plant just as
soon as the additional wells now
drilling are completed and if the
people do not desire to wait
short time for natural gas, we feel
we can supply them with tank gas
just as adequately and just as
cheaply as anyone else"

The new rates become effective
today. Reasons for the reduction
were explained by Peterson.
"The new schedule, put in by
permission of the state department
of public works, is an emergency
move to help producers get a big
fruit crop to market, as / under
stand it. My information is that
this promises to be one of the big
gest cherry crops the state has
had, and Yakima valley is prepar-
ing to harvest one of its biggest
fruit crops, with the exception of
strawberries. The reduction runs
as high as SO percent between Spo-
kane and Yakima. The tariff pro-
vides for proportionate reductions
from intermediate points"
Local shippers express them
selves as highly pleased with the
cut, stating that it will add to the
ease with which cherries and other
crops are moved to the markets.

AUTO PARK BUILDS
Two Cabins, Four Garages Added
60 Camp; Annual Trek Started

Cool and shady, restful haven
after long hot drive, the Kenne-
wick Auto park stands beside the
road to welcome tourists, the first
vanguard of which are already on
the road. For the accommodation of
the stream of automobilists which
will come later, the auto park is
building two new cabins, each with
its garage, and two additional
garages for present cabins.
Several cabins are now occupied
by fruit workers. But touring
parties, on the trek because of the
annual urge to be somewhere they
aren't, have already started the
flood that will swell to its great
est proportions the latter part Of
July and the first of August.

s s board of District II has de-
.;dad to hold another election. A
. . statement of the purposes
- The bond issue has been drawn
10 BY Warren c Hodge, superin-
tendeut, as follows:
aIn view of the prevalence OF
much apparent misinformation and
lark of information relative to vot-
inc bonds for much needed inn
movements of the local schools,
the Board in resubmitting the is
sue wish to have the people keep
in mind the things for which the
money is to be spent.
,sThe worn out inefficient heat
ing plant is to be replaced. The
hall floors originally of poor ma
terial are worn out and are to be
elaid. The antiquated unsanitary
toilet rooms and fixtures are to
be altered. Several new class rooms
will be constructed and several UNI
dersized ones will be consolidated
and enlarged. A large lunch room
will be provided with a kitchen
where warm supplement can be
had for a few cents to go with the
newspaper lunch brought from the
home. This will do away with the
necessity Of many of the boys hav-
ing to eat in the coal bin. A modes-
ate sized gymnasium auditorium
is to be built, as the present one
is understood and insufficient, and
the space in it is needed for luncn
room and class room space. The
kaky condition of the roof neces-
states relaying Of covering ma
terial. Thus it will be seen that
sebout one-third Of the proposed is
sue is greatly needed for repair
work.
The cost of construction would
be divided in twenty payments over
20 years. The cost of the first and
second year would be one mill to
cover interest and after that the
rate would not be over two mills
per year until paid for. Materials
and construction costs now are
the lowest they have been for some
time. These improvements would
enable the shop and agriculture
departments to be moved to the.
annex building which was origin.
ally constructed to house them. It
would make possible a small en-
iargenent of the home economics
department which would render i.

Decorators hold the fabrics to-
gether to be sure they are the
same. And all colorS should
pick up another color in the
room, in another surface, even
though the designs are diff
ferent.
It is best to have a scheme
in two or three colors. to avoid
confusion, though other colors
may appear in the basic fabric
or rug, and it's best to cover
no two pieces Of furniture with
the same fabric. though the
colors and general effect may
be the same. And Of course
they must harmonize.
It's not hard to find enough
good fabrics to go around,
when you consider the brocades
and prints. large and small,
the stripes and plain fabrics
that are available. IF you do
not feel sure Of your taste or
knowledge, by all means con-
suit a decorator. Their services
cost nothing, and often their

By WILMA LA VILE
IT'S not only spring time, and
cherry blossom time, but it's
time to freshen up our homes,
to do over a room or so, to give
the whole house q brighter.
lighter appearance.
So today we're going to con-
slider the building of the color
scheme of a room, the way pro-
feSsionals do it, which is the
same way any Of us ought to
proceed to have an effective,
tasteful room.
First we must consider the
size of the room. If it is small,
figured fabrics must be used
with discretion, and only small
figures chosen, usually. If it is
a big room, it can accommodate
large, splashy effects, and
brighter colors than the small
room.
Plain colors and figures must
be mixed in the right proper
tion, too. Not all the surfaces
can be covered with figures, nor
can all figures be the same size,
for q pleasing balance.
Most decorators begin with
the rug or draperies, and build
the scheme around the colors
Of this chosen basis, consider
ing of course the color Of the
walls.
AS many rooms are built
around the draperies, and as
draperies are often Of hand
blocked linen or chintz. we will
assume that you use the colors
