RELATIVELY HAILED
AS 4TH GREAT STEP
Einstein Co-operator Traces
Land Marks of Science
Since CoperniCus.
ny the Associated Press.

PASADENA, Calf, January 90
Four great landmarks of science, with
Albert Einstein pictured as the leader
of the fourth step, are set forth by
Prof. Albert st. John, veteran astrono-
mer at Mount Wilson Laboratory.
With Einstein smiling at his side
Prof. st. John Explained the special
theory of relatively last night at the
University Club here. st. John said:
Landmarks in the field of science,
marking our progress through the ages,
are:
Copernican System First Landmark.
''First-The Copernican system that
accounts for the complicated motions
of the planets as seen from the earth.
"Second-The Newtonian law of
gravitation that placed the physical
world under the reign OF universal
law.
.'Third-The theory of evolution by
Darwin and Wallace by which we trace
our descent.
''Fourth-And such a landmark is
the theory of relatively, but whence 1t
will lead no man knoweth.
1.-The ptolemaic system ruling thought
for 1900 years was overthrown by the
deviation of Mars. Out of these min
utes,' said Kepler, we will construct
q new theory that will explain the mo-
lions of all planets That was done by
Newton.
"As Tycho's minutes of the arc of
Mars, in the hands of CopernicuS, KEEP
Ter and Newton, revolutionized the age
old medieval conceptions. so the 43
minutes of anomaly of mercury in the
hands of Einstein have revolutionized
the conception of Newton"
St. John told how for 100 years the
Newtonian theory was accepted as ex-
planning the orbits of planets and how
Leverrier called attention to the fact
that the planet Mercury was not obey
ing Newton's law.
Einstein Explains Mercury Error.
For another 100 years, said st. John,
astronomers were puzzled at this, until
Einstein pronounced his special theory
of relatively, and Mercury's actions were
found to conform to Einstein'S law.
It was Prof. st. John at Mount VIII
son Observatory who established one OF
the astronomical proofs of the theory
of relatively. One Of Einstein'S chief
desires in coming to California was to
confer with st. John and DR.. Walter
s. Adams, director Of the Mount Will
son Observatory, who established an
other proof.

Drowned Man is
Still Unidentified

The unidentified body of a man
was found floating in the Column
bit river last week near Paterson.
The body had been in the water
for about ten days. There was no
identifying marks upon the cloth
ing and the only article found
was a pocket knife.
A bruise on the head was found
but it was thought to have been
incurred after the body had been
in the water. After an inquest,
Prosecutor Charles d. Powell, de-
cided that there was not enough
evidence to warrant police action.
The body was buried under 4
John Doe certificate. "This John
Doe seems to be popular name
in Benton county," said Mr.. Pow
ell today. "More people by the
name Of John Doe have gotten in
to trouble in the local courts and
more John Does have been buried
than any other name"

WILL PIPE KENNEWICK,

Edwin Hurst, manager of the
Northwestern Natural Gas COM
pany, stated this week that his
company plans to pipe both Ken
newick and Pasco the work start
ing early in August. Whether the
work will be done by day labor or
contract has not yet been decided.
An or 10 inch pipe line will be
laid from either the Badger noun
tain well or the known gas field.
The prospect well at Badger
mountain is down 200 feet and if
dreams come true this we'll will re-
veal source of gas in this val
ley and much nearer Kennewick
than the present field. The North
ern California Drilling company
has taken over this hole and drill
ing operations have begun again.
Hurst says three rigs are drill
ing in the Benton field in addition
to the one at Badger. I'VE plan to
put down water well II the near
future" said Hurst, "as we have
80 much trouble with our water
pipes freezing in the winter time.
We have Ia miles Of water pipe
in the field."-Prosse.- Bulletin.

FAIR PLANS
PROGRESSING
NICELY NOW
Secretary Durdle Tells of Ar
rangements to be Made for
This Years Festival; More
Entertainment Provided

The local Fair promises to be
one of the best that has been held
for number of years. Fair dates
this year are Friday and Satur-
day, September IL and IL. This
makes the date a little later than
ordinary and fruit should be in
better shape. for competition and
display. Most vegetables will
probably be a little better by the
time it has had a little spell of
cool weather, rather than when the
season is too warm. Livestock and
poultry should be exhibited to bet
ter advantage, at any rate, with
the later date.
There is much more interest IN
the Fair this year than for sever
al years. The grounds committee
is planning Encouragement OF
some features so that the enter
tainment program can be better
arranged for. A complete recrea-
tional program for both afternoons
and evenings is being planned by
the committee. This will include
baseball games, small rodeo,
stunts and musical numbers by
service club, horseshoe pitching
contest, and musical numbers over
the loud speaker, the use of which
will give all an opportunity to
hear the program.
Plans are being worked out for
good seating Accommodations for at
least large part of the crowd.
With the increase in premium
money offered this year and the
addition of other departments, it
is expected that the exhibit build
ings will be filled to Overlooking
this year. In fact there is a posi-
bility that new buildings will need

JUICE PLANT
EXPERIMENTS
Success Will Mean an En-
largement.; Product
Has Popularity

If everybody in the state Of
Washington took to grape juice
like the Odd Fellows did at their
convention last week in Prosser,
the Kennewick factory would have
to be trebled in size, according to
a report given to the Chamber Of
Commerce this noon by George
Tilbury, who acted as chairman In
the absence of Lee Lampson.
Last week, as an experiment, the
local factory took samples to the
convention. Twenty percent Of the
drinks sold were Church's Grape
Juice. On that basis, in the state
of Washington alone, there would
be a demand for 10000 cases per
year.
Now, there are less than 1000
ton Of Concord grapes grown in
both Oregon and Washington and
the local factory could then as
sumo control of the entire western
tonnage. This would require the
local factory to treble in size and
employ large number of work
men thruout the year. 1t would es-
tablish a steady market for the
grapes grown in the district and
put the industry well up toward
the front of the states manufact-
cries.
To further carry out the exper-
iment the company is planning to
popularize the grape juice by bot
Ting it up in five cent drinks. In
Church's juice there is nothing
added and nothing taken away
it is pure juice of the concord and
worden grape and is gradually ex-
tending its popularity thruout the
country.

LOOK NOW FOR
FAIR EXHIBITS
Durdle Asks Growers to
Begin Making Selections
in Field and Orchard

It is time that those planning
on making an exhibit at the Fair
this year should be planning rath-
er definitely toward this exhibit.
It would look, from the interest
already being shown, that the ex-
hibits this year win be larger and
better than ever. We hope that
every grower this year will be an
exhibitor with some product or an
other at the annual Fair.
For the benefit Of those who
may not have made exhibits or
given much attention to them we
would say that if one begins now
to watch for specimens which
would be as near true to type as
possible for the variety and pro-
duct Of the plant that one should
be able to make better exhibits
than if one waits until just before
Fair time and then goes and gath
ers just what one may get from
the garden, field or orchard. The
exhibit which will win the prize
is the one of representative size
and shape for the variety. Uni
formity is very important and yet
hard to get. In selecting apples,
for instance, for a plate display
Of FIVE, the nearer one can come
to getting five apples that look
so near alike that one could not
tell the difference between them
the nearer one would have good
exhibit. OF course, color, size and
absolute freedom from blemishes,
including bruises, insect damage,
or other blemishes, are Of extreme
Importance. The above character

THREATEN TO
REFUSE TAXES
Petitions Out Protesting
High Tax Levies; To
Ask Reduction

Feeling that the county tax sit
uation has become unbearable, a
number of big land owners of the
county are backing a movcm.nt
whereby payment of taxes is TO be
refused unless a substantial reduc-
ton is made, it was stated yester-
day by Benton county rancher,
who had over rs names on pc
tition which he was circulating. He
said that the signatures of proper
ty owners are being sought over
the entire county.
The petition read: "Notwith-
standing that the values of real
property in Benton county have de-
preciated from 80 to go percent
taxes have increased to a point
within the last two or three years,
amounting to confiscation. Fur
Their objections and protests to the
levying bodies seem futile and the
only weapon left in the hands of
property owners is to refuse fur
Their payment of taxes assessed
against real estate"
Therefore, we, the undersigned
owners of real property in Ben
ton county, hereby agree, one with
the other, to refrain from pay
ment of any real property in Ben
ton County for period of at
least two years from the date
here of or until a reduction of at
least 25 percent in such taxes is
made, or the price of farm pro-
ducts increases at least so per-
cent"
1t was declared that the names
will be submitted to the county
commissioners.

feet long and will carry nine peo-
pie. This is a larger pleasure
boat than the one they have been
using for some time and is % feet
long.
A. F. Brown and sons have been
interested in boating for several
years and have pleasure boats.

hope by next year to get enough
interested so they can organize a
club and have some boat houses.

Sunnyside last Sunday on the
Pasco diamond. The season wound
up with Kennewick team nosing
out Pasco by a half game margin.
The game Sunday provided lots

old youngster from Sunnyside
clouted two over the fence while
Evett, Kennewick's star third
stcker did the same for the home
team. A couple Of double plays in
the critical moments added excite
ment.

cup is now being suitably en-
graved, telling Of Kennewick's
record on the ball diamond for the
