roads are doing.
When taking into consideration
what the railroads have done Tor
Kennewick in the way of develop
ment work they are carrying on,
the amount of taxes they pay,
the payroll they maintain in your
city, their assistance of your irrl-
cation work and their attempt to
attract settlers to your community,
we feel as employees whose livli-
hood like yourselves is dependent
on those rail transportation COM
panies that we are justified in
asking you to take the same stand
that Pasco has done, and which
other cities and towns are now
taking up.
You will also be interested in
knowing that we have in this
state around 10000 railway and
express employees, and by using

STREET LIGHTS
COMING ALONG
3 Poles to Block on
Main Street; "A in
Entire System

Preliminary plans for the street
lighting system soon to be install
ed were gone over at the council
meeting last Tuesday evening, and
the ordinance creating the i'm
provement district was given its
first and second readings. A plat
showing the estimated cost to
each of the lots in the district were
on file and were also considered
by the council.
Individual assessments for the
lots run from SIS to $50, depend
ing upon whether or not the pro-
perry faces ON two of the improv-
ed streets.
The system will consist Of a.
standards, set four to the block
on each side of the street from
Washington street to the Hotel
Kennewick corner, with a wider
staggered spacing on Benton street
to the paved highway. Single
globes mounted on concrete posts
about fifteen feet high will com
prise the system which will cost
in the neighborhood of $1,000 In
stalled. Half of this amount viii
be charged to the abutting pro-
perty owners and the remainder
will be absorbed by a general bond
obligation covering the entire city
Following the final adoption OF
the plans and the publication Of
the ordinance creating the district
the call for bids will be issued
and the work will be concluded in
the early fall, according to the
plans of the city.

And Again the Trusty
Cat" was Parked

In the swee sma'" hours Mon
day morning hasty call was Civ
en- the police by an excited tele-
phone operator that Plowman's
was being broken into as the burg
lar alarm was ringing.
The police made a wild dash in
the rain and chased an imaginary
burglar. The alarm was ringing
all right, but no man or animal
could they find. Upon investigation
it was found that the heavy rain
had shorted the telephone wires,
which sprung the alarm. Next
morning when Mr.. Plowman came
down he told the force he hadn't
connected the alarm in the new
place and he seemed in doubt OF
so doing as he already had such
an effective one at work for him.

BRIDGE DEAL
TO GO THRU
Stockholders Appear Will.
ing to Accept Offer;
Open July LIST

That the bridge company will
accept the offer made by the state
for the purchase of the bridge
seems assured from the tone Of
a letter received early this week
by local stockholders from Secre.
tary Grove of the company. A
stockholders meeting is to be held
in Walla Walla Saturday of this
week to- accept or reject the
states offer of 100000 for the
structure.
Local stockholders seem to feel
assured that the deal will 20
through and that the tolls will be
removed July first according to
the appropriation made at the last
session of the legislature.
Going ahead on the assumption
that the deal will go through, q
committee from the Chamber Of
Commerce from both Pasco and
Kennewick met to consider plans
for a joint celebration. It was de-
cided to combine the ceremony OF
slashing the barrier between the
two towns with the Fourth Of
July celebration and to make the
day one of the outstanding events
of this section of the state this
wear.

Rain Cuts Twilight
Game at End of First

What promised to be q rousing
old fashioned base ball game was
cut short Tuesday night by the
rain. The ex-stars were all rib
bed up to show the Kolts just how
the national pastime should be
performed-and at the end of the
first inning seemed to have proved
their point by having the long
end of q 3-2 score. The Eek" line
up all seem to be united in de-
claring that the highlight Of the
game was the way Joe Martin
played second base. No doubt the
rain prevented the drug stores
from doing whale Of business
Wednesday in arnica and other
pain-removing linaments.

WARNS AGAINST
BERRY BLIGHT
Situation Serious This
Year; Damage Due to
Fungus Growth

Following is a copy OF a letter
from DR.. F. d. Heald, plant path
ologist at the state college, writ
ten to o. B. Roberts, horticultural
inspector at Kennewick, June 8,
which is self explanatory:
: Gan examination has been made
of the strawberry specimens which
you sent under date of May %.
The specimens show the condition
which has generally been desig-
mated as black root.
sIt is probable that Rhizoctonia
plays a part in this condition, but
is not the exclusive causal agent.
"This disease has been reported
from various localities in the
Northwest and has been studied in
some detail in Michigan.
'The affected plants exhibit
poor vitality, are more or less
stunted and show q tendency to
dry up during periods of dry
weather. The leaves may show
more or less of a purplish color
ton and the roots in the extreme
condition are black, corl1y in tex
ture and apparently dead, while in
less pronounced cases some of the
roots will show black, dead areas
with poor celebration Of the por-
tions not directly affected.
"For some time the cause Of
this disease has been somewhat
uncertain. A number of different
soil infesting fungi seem to play
part in the production Of this
disease but the indications are that
none of these fungi are virulent
as the result Of certain unfavor-
able environmental conditions. It
seems that unfavorable weather
conditions, either unfavora b e
temperatures or injurious condi-
tions of temperature and moisture
combined, put the plants in a
weakened condition, which then
fall prey to fungi which probably
would not be able to attack per-
fectly vigorous, normal plants.
According to studies that have
been recorded for this disease, dip
ding plants in formaldehyde and
organic mercury disinfectants are
of no value. Soil sterilization has
also been tried without avail. The
principal recommendations that
can be made concerning the reduc-
ton Of losses from this trouble
are first, the selection of strong,
vigorous plants which have clean,
white roots when new paintings
are being made; second, the care
full and rapid handling of them
in setting so that they may be
subjected to as little drying out
and mechanical injury as possible;
and third, the adoption of a short
rotation, practicing good cultiva-
ton and the use of suitable ferti-
lizers to keep the plants in as Wig
orous condition as possible"
