START PACKING
JOINS THIS WEEK
Crop Light and Carries
Many Culls- Prices
Promise Fair

Fruit warehouses started up
this week on the fall run of apples.
The Big Y got under way yester-
day on the Jonathans and Lamp
son Bros. started up this after
noon. Price prospects are starting
at about the same figures as last
year, tho the crop will be consid-
erably lighter in this section and
there will be a great deal larger
percentage of culls on account of
the unusual size of the moth
flights this summer. The early
arrival Of cool nights is now about
the only help for this condition as
it is getting too late to add anoth-
er spray this year.
On account of the worms extra
sprays have been necessary, which
makes it still more difficult to
remove after picking. Also the toll
erance has been still further re-
duced, causing more expense in
washing.

CORRECTION

Word has come to US from diff
ferent sources that the Valley and
Finley Oranges were opposed to
voting special levy for the pur-
pose of continuing the bus ser
vice for the school children.
In answer to this accusation we
wish to state that the question
was not discussed or acted upon
by either Grange. The results of
the election seem to indicate that
most of the Grange members as
well as most other citizens work
ed for and voted for the levy.
We are sorry that the person or
persons who started and spread
this "street talk" to injure the
Grange are not more profitably
employed.

the picnic lunch a program was
held at which time Floyd Hutch

TO REVIVE OLD
PORT DISTRICT
Ask Election to Permit
improvements; Movies
Want Pretty Girl

Who wants to be a bridesmaid
and get into the movies?
Chance of lifetime is being
presented by the Chamber of
Commerce for some pretty young
lady to bust into publicity.
Sunday, Sept. 10, Yakima is to
hold big picnic celebrating the
opening of the road thru Naches
pass to Tipsoe lake and Rainier
park. As a feature of the day the
marriage of Mr.. Cream of Enum-
claw to Miss Peaches of Yakima
will be celebrated and brides
maid from each of the valley towns
is invited to be present-as well
as all others interested in the
event.
Three, and maybe more, news
reel cameramen will be present to
take pictures of the event. The
proposition was brought before
the meeting of the Chamber to-
day and Secretary Carpenter is
clearing his desks to take care
of the applications for the job
which are expected to pour in.
The, old Port of Kennewick is to
be revived again. Inasmuch as the
district has some fifteen hundred
dollars crying to be spent and the
only way to get at it is to func-
tion again, the Chamber will cir
culate petition to have an cleo
ton of directors, so they can get
the money into circulation.
The dock, which once belonged
to the district has become private
property and the district now
feels that it should be made pub
lie again, and part of the money
will be used for this purpose. The
directors could erect a warehouse
on the fairgrounds and rent it to
the fair association at very
nominal fee to be used for fair
purposes. The petition will be
presented to the commissioners at
their next meeting.
Mr.. Mitchell, brother-in-law
of ". M. Ward, was guest of
the club, together with Mrs. Nit
chell. He is a talented vocalist,
having studied in Europe, and he
favored the Chamber with several
selections which were well received.

ROAD OILING
ABOUT DONE
Main Drags Into Town
from Each Direction
Now Surfaced

Yesterday the oiling Of tn e
Finley-Hover road was completed.
Today the crews are replacing
some of the work done on the GEM
etery road, following which they
will start on the west end of the
Plymouth road, some six miles of
which has not yet been completed.
Kennewick now has a splendid
system of oiled roads leading into
it from each direction. From How
er to Kennewick is in splendid
shape, the highway to Spokane
over the bridge was never better;
the pavement west of town toward
Prosser, from the end of which
into Kiona has just been newly
surfaced, is in splendid condition;
and the oiled road leads from
Richland and the Plymouth road
will soon be done, leading into
town over the Highlands and the
new piece toward the cemetery is
about done.
Experience has shown that up
keep on the oiled roads in this
section is almost negligible and
with the passing of the years all
the main roads in the district will
have received the dustless treat
ment.
Owing to the smallness of the
job and the unusual difficulties
to be encountered, it is not likely
that the oiling of First avenue can
be accomplished this year. The
contractor now working in the
vicinity refuses to consider taking
on the work and it will be too
costly to get an outfit to come in
for such a small job.
