NO DAMAGE
YET TO CROPS
Snow and Frost Do No Com.
mercial Hurt; Slows Up
Grass Growth

With the first box of asparagus
shipped, and soft fruit trees in full
bloom last Thursday night, the
thermometer dropped below the
freezing point, only to be followed
by the seasons first all-day snow
storm. Owners of cherry orchards,
and others began to heat before
midnight and kept up the night
long seige and the soft fruit crop
of the district is again saved.
There was no commercial dam
age to the cherry crop and the
peaches and apricots are no long
er counted as a major crop. In
some places these fruits were not
damaged and there will be an av-
erage production - providing no
further damage is done this spring.
Thursday night the official min
imum was "a 1-2 on the Speigel-
berg place on the Highlands, tho
there were other spots where %
was registered. The asparagus,
which was just showing above the
ground was frozen back and the
growth since has been very slow,
owing to the rain and cold.

POWER TO PAY
COST OF WATER
Mead Confident Reclamation
Returns Will Pay Out,
Possibilities Great

Revenues from hydroelectric
power developed on reclamation
projects will eventually exceed the
payments on construction and the
present financial possibilities for
the support of irrigation develop
ment, DR.. Elwood Mead, commits
sioner of reclamation, said in a
statement issued in Washington,
d. c., according to a Yakima pa
per.
Such revenues will be of great
help in supporting the bureaus de-
velopment program, he pointed out.
The income from federal power
projects last year amounted to 3d.
100000. When projects started
are completed, the revenues derived
from unsold power will amount to
more than the present irrigation
payments.
Reviewing the present situation,
DR.. Mead stated that the S., 900,
900 emergency fund will be spent
this year. On July 1, 1882, the
Bureau must resume the payment
of 1000 900, and on July 1, 1888,
repayments must be started on
the $5,000,000 loan at the rate of
81, 000, 900 year. The $4,000, 900 a
year will reduce the income of the
bureau to $6,00O,000 year.
With no more than that avail
able a year, Is years will be re-
quired to complete the works now
authorized. Since the bureau will
have as little as $6,000,000 a year
to continue reclamation, other
sources of income must be sought,
and the possibilities of the sale of
electric power are regarded as
great.
The statement by DR.. Mead re-
garding the finances of the recla-
nation bureau was issued for the
information Of project officials.

IGLEE CLUBS TO
PLAY JERRY"
Annual Operetta Promises
Fine Entertainment; Lead
Parts Named

The annual high school operet-
ia viii he presented at the Liberty
theatre next Monday night. "Jer-
~ of Jericho Road" with the dis
trict's latest musical "find," Miss
Leah Lampson, in the leading part,
supported by a large cast headed
by Henry Scott, is the vehicle
which promises unusually amusing
and interesting entertainment.
"Jerry of Jericho Road" is a
very modern and swiftly moving
production and the characters have
been well placed under the direc-
tion of Misses Goodrich and Leib-
brand, teachers in the local
schools. The cast of principals as
outlined by the publicity commit
tee, which is in charge of the
Senior class, is as follows:
Bud Cosslitt plays the part of
Uncle Pete, an old-timer in the
West. Bud is going to be big hit
He does not have to act much out
of the ordinary to handle the par.
very nicely. Dick Galloway, as
Alan O'Day, the owner of the Fed
eral Rock cattle ranch, is a char
acter we do not know much about.
Geraldine Bank, the leading part,
is played by Leah Lampson. She
is known in the operetta as Jerry.
It is worth the time and money
just to hear her sing, without the
rest of the characters. Henry
Scott is taking the part of John
Dryden, a cousin to the, ranch
owner. He is the half of the lead
ing part.
The flapper Mimi is played by
Dorothy Duffy, and is handled with
professional effects. Dora, Minis
cousin, is played by Lois Brue, an
other character we know little
about. Cornelius Bean, gentleman
from Boston is played by Anon
Mueller. We do not know whether
the sailors named him or not, but
he is an interesting character.
Amos Bank, an Fastener, is
played by Lee Lampson, the boy
with the bass voice, and who can
make his voice do as he wishes
when singing.
Lettice Bank, Mr.. Banks wife,
is played by Jeanette Peter. From

GRASS READY
TO START BIG
SHIP MENTS
rod Wet Weather Slows Up
Growth; Season is Week
late: Tonnage to Be Big
gest Yet

Tuo or three warm days will see
che Kennewick asparagus business
under swing in a big way. The
oast week of cold weather has re-
tarded the growth, but a brief per-
id of warm weather will see the
rr,,s,ally fine stand, which is now
neepinp out of the ground, of a
size to cut.
The first box was shipped out
last Thursday, two days later than
the first shipment was made last
wear Since then ten or a dozen
boxes have been assembled. Tie
first of the week will see the first
carlot shipments, according to the
managers of the local houses. This
will make the start of the season
. week or ten days later than that
Of last year.
There will be about ten to fiji
teen percent increase in produc-
ton in the crop this year, it is es-
timated, principally due to increas-
production. Growers are finding
out that properly kept grass
patches show a steady increase in
cutting up to seven or eight years.
Previously it was thought that the
peak of production was at the
third year.
Market outlooks are not at all
discouraging, according to Mr..
Desgranges and Mr.. Lampson.
While both mentioned the fact that
the California, one of the two dis
tricts with which our product COM
petes in the early season, is sell
ing at an unusually low price this
spring. The Georgia crop has been
on the market for month or
more in the east, but is nearing
its close. The advent of cooler
weather the past week in the east,
too, will make for better prices.
Both local houses have made ex-
cellent cannery connections this
year. A new demand is being built
up on this class of stuff, too. The
canneries want six-inch stalks in
stead of the customary seven, and
they are paying a cent a pound
premium for it. According to the
managers, this is not an increase
in the price, but will work to the
advantage of the growers event.
ually, in that it can be cut often
er and also there will be some re-
duction in freight and handling
charges.
