NEW PLUM is
MAKING BIG HIT
Miller Ranch Starting on
Production Of Improv-
ed Variety

Cherries are fine; asparagus is
good (if you like it); apricots are
not so bad: peaches would be good
(if we had any and apples GER
tainly have their place. But the
finest fruit this section raises can
be found on the j. p. Miller ranch
south of town.
He has about a hundred trees,
now three years old, and just
coming into bearing, Of Climax
plums. They are the prettiest and
sweetest fruit produced in this
section.
The Climax plum is CONNER
cial variety $4,000 cars out of Cal
ifornia this year) and is one Of
Burbank's crosses Of a Jap plum
with the European variety. Suit
able to our light soil conditions,
the trees have done well and the
fruit is just beginning to ripen.
They are Of hardy stock, tho sus-
ceptible to frost in the spring,
like cherries, tho in the bud and
tree they withstand the cold
weather well being much strong
er than peaches, for instance,
which they are suplanting.
Mr.. Miller is expecting a fine
crop next year from his plum
trees, which were introduced into
this section by Horace Wray.

PRIEST RAPIDS
BONDS ARE @ X
Land Owners Effort to
Halt Sale Fail; Court
.Sustains Officials

Permission to bond the Priest
Rapids irrigation project was
granted last week by the hearing
in the Benton County superior
Court on a petition signed by 81
landowners in the district.
Sale of 100000 of the $685..
600 bonds authorized to the Mil.
waukee was granted to finance
the purchase Of the power proper
ties and irrigation facilities by the
district.
Two suits had been brought by
landowners of the district to stop
officials from issuing the bonds
and selling them. The land own
ers charged the officials of the
district with arbitrary action and
fraud in attempts to control votes
by the exclusion of certain lands.
Testimony was taken for three
days.
The Judge in announcing his de-
cision, stated that no evidence had
been presented in support of the
charges. The finding of the court
in favor of the district will permit
them to proceed with the sale of
the bonds, unless sue haction is
halted by an appeal to the SUI
preme court.

AUTOGIRO is

Windmill" Airship Stops

Gals Thrilled

The first Autogiro ever seen in
the Northwest flew over the
Northwest flew over Kennewick
Sunday afternoon, giving local
residents their first sight of the
windmill" airplane.
The Autogiro landed at the Pas
coport on its way from the fac
tory to Seattle. Many local people
went to the field to view the novel
ty which many claim will huper-
cede the present type Of airplanes
for most purposes. The peculiar
plane made several flights carry
ing passengers.
The Giro has windmill" ar
rangement of four vanes in place
of the customary top wing, and
the revolving blades suspend the
plane in its flight, and permit it
to descend vertically more slow
ly than a man in parachute. 1t
will take off with run of less
than 80 feet and land in less than
that much space. 1t is mans near

Giro's speed range is from % to
125 miles per hour, while the COM

safely under so miles per hour.

Bank" Failure Hurt Seattle
Failure of the Puget Sound and
Home Savings association, both of
which are closed, have hurt bus
mess and prabably will delay the
return of normal economic condi-
tions in Seattle. While the actual
loss to shareholders may not to-
tai more than $4,000, 900, the clos
ing of the two institutions has
tied up more than $21 100000 be-
longing to $4,000 shareholders or
depositors, mostly wage earners ;
and naturally the SCI 100000 is
not available for trading purposes
or as credit, pending liquidation.
But the community took the two
blows without going down and the
people of Seattle deserve credit
for setting an example of calm
and faith under provoking and
trying circumstances. Bankers ex-

KENNEWICK is
NOW IN LEAD
Locals Win, Pasco Loses;
Tie or Win Pennant on
Protest Game

The Kolts brought home the
bacon last Sunday in their game
with Sunnyside by a score Of IL
to 8 in a game in which the Kolts
all fattened their batting aver
ages. At the same time Topper
ish defeated Pasco by score Of
z to 2. This puts the Kolts IN the
lead of the league by one half a
game, with one protested game TO
play off with Sunnyside. The bal
ance of the teams in the league
are through their schedule. If
Kennewick wins their next game
they are winners of the Yakima
Valley league. If they lose, they
are tied with Pasco for first
place.
Although the Kolts played
heads up base ball for six innings
and then with the score 9 to / in
their favor, grew careless and
started playing iPng Pong, with
the result that Sunnyside scored
5 rune in the 9TH. However, they
came back in the 9Th and batted in
s rune. In the ninth, Sunnyside
scored 2 runs, but Records tight
ened up and struck out three bat
tiers ending the game.
The game was featured by the
Kolt's heavy hitting and by Evett
and DeVoe making their first
fielding errors Of the season. Ev-
EFT played in Ia league games and
DeVoe 8, with one error each for
the season.
Batteries: Sunnyside, Rose, Rob-
ertson, Hooker, Rose and Hooker,
Bishop; Kennewick, Records and
Glassner.
Sunnyside played the game UNI
der protest. Their only reason FIR
protesting insofar as we know was
the fact that the game was UNI
pired by a neutral umpire from
Yakima by the name Of Ed Schott.
Mr.. Schott was a stranger to this
community and was appointed by
the league officials for this
game. His umpiring was very
good.
Sunnyside brought up their pro-
test at a league meeting held in
Toppenish on Monday, July 18th.
Kennewick did not attend this
meeting and offered no defense on
the protest, but Kennewick was
advised that Sunnyside's protest
was overruled and Sundays game
stands as played.
Sunday, next, the Kolts will
play Goldendale in Kennewick at
2:30 pm. This promises to be q
warm game as each team has won
one game and lost one game to
each other.

WOE TO AUTOISTS
WHOSE CARS LACK
ASH TRAY SUPPLY

"Have you an ash tray in
your carr"
This is a question state and
county traffic officers will
ask of motorists in the forest
or grain areas from now on.
A state law adopted at the re-
cent legislature provides that
each compartment of every
automobile entering forest,
range or grain areas must
be equipped with a cOntainer
for the disposition of lighted
tobacco, cigarets, matches or
fire crackers"
This law is no respectOr of
persons. It applies as much TO
the anti-smOking crusader as
to the man who is seldom seen
without a cigaret between his
lips. The leader Of the Wet.
u. may not neglect her ash
tray any more than the boot
logger may overlook his.
State highway patrOlmen
have been instructed TO check
on cars entering areas where
the fire menace is great TO
see that they are properly
equipped with ash recepta-
cles. The law provides that a
two seated car must have two
containers. One is not enough.

which can be seen at that time fol-
lows: Pastures for dairy cattle and
sheep; alfalfa varieties; sweet

ieties for cover and pasture crops)
cereal and corn varieties; fSrtiliz-

FIELD DAY IS
VERY INSTRUCTIVE

We wish to call attention to all
farmers of the county to the Field
Day to be held at the Irrigation
Branch Experiment station at the
county seat on Wednesday, July
%. A general news item on this
has been sent out by the Super
intendent of the station and this
item should be found elsewhere in
this paper, says County Agent e.
C. Durdle.
Two years ago we attended the
Field Day and gained great deal
of information which we. are sure
farmers would be able to get much
benefit from. Last year it was i'm
possible for us to attend and we
have side tracked everything to
attend the Field Day this year. We
are sure that farmers will find it
worthwhile to give a day for this
study.

Missionary to China
Speaks to Kiwanians

Miss Lucille Withers, who has
been missionary stationed in
China for twenty years, told of
some of the curious Chinese Gus
toms to members of the local XII
wants club at Tuesdays luncheon.
She told of the remarkable change
which has taken place in that
country in the transition from an
empire to a republic, a change
which has affected the entire fab
ric of the country. In her 20 years
experience the change has affect
ed not only politics and manage
ment of the government, but the
customs, manners, styles and
even the thoughts of the people
in that country.
