1892 Tax Levy
Will Be Higher
Than Last Year
CURRENT EXPENSE ASSESSMENT
5.99 MILLS COMPARED TO
5.87 IN 1881

Although the county commissioners
made substantial reduction in the
budgets for next year the tax levy in
Benton county will be higher than in
1881. This year the levy was 5.87 mills
while in 1882 it will be 500, according
to an announcement of Harry Forsyth,
treasurer assessor.
The levy in some districts will be
higher than last year and in other dis
tricts it will be lower, Forsyth said.
The total levy for the districts has
not been computed, as the tax levies
for schools have not been compiled.
The state tax on the county will be
1850 mills, compared with 11.31 mills
in the last assessment. The county
levy will raise $1O8,64226 while the
state levy will produce $13S,S58.27.
The levy for this district, Mo- 1,
which has budget of $15,5OO, will be
mills. In district No. 2, with bud
get of $9850, the levy will be 2 mills,
and in district No. 8, which has a
budget of $1,000, the levy will be
mills.
The county in 1882 will raise less
money than in 1881, and the increase
in the current tax levy was caused by
the decrease in property valuations.

Two Men $40 Each
YORKTOWN , VIRGINIA

Upon their plea of guilty to petty
larceny charge, George and Alfred
Smith, two young itinerant fruit work.
ers, were fined $40 each and costs
amounting in all to $29.60, in Justice
st the, Peace M. S.. Meeks' court las1
Saturday.
The specific charge was the stealing
of two rifles, one owned by Floye
Barge and the other by Earl Wade
from sleeping tent on the r. D. Barge
orchard, presumably last Thursday
When the rifles were missed the mex
day the two Smith boys, who were
working on the place picking apples
were suspected but no attempt was
made to arrest them until after they
started to leave town Saturday after
noon. Deputy Sheriff c. I. Wright fol-
lowed them and overlook their car or
the Hanford road near the B1eakley
place. The two rifles were founo
wrapped up in their belongings.

event at the Legion smoker at Liberty
hall Friday evening of this week. King
took the decision over K o. Williams
Of Aberdeen and Tweedie drew with
Ray Brown in the last smoker. Both
of these boys are fast. clever boxers
and will undoubtedly put on good
show
In the semi windup, K. o. Riley, 1875
of Yakima, will meet Spider Murphy
1875, colored, of Casper, Wyoming
This is also six round affair Riley
knocked out Ted McAllister of Wen
atchee in the last smoker but the
Wyoming boy is said to be just as
fast and the possessor of wallop
equal to that of Rileys SO there will
probably be some thrills in this one
K. o. Green 1856, of Benton City
and K. o. Williams, 100, of Aberdeen
will put on special round event
Neither of these men claim to be fin
ished boxers but both are sluggers and
both can take it and their bout should
satisfy those who like this style of
milling
In the 4 round preliminary Billy
Mcdonald, 1875, of Pasco, will take on
Young Orchid, 1876, of Benton City,
while the 3 round curtain raiser will
feature a couple of the local boys.
The admission price is the same as
at the two previous smokers, ST. for
men; SO cents for ladies and high
school students and Is cents for grade
school students. The show starts at
8 p. m.

Rock Phosphate
N. G., Says Durdle
BY E. G. Durdle, County Agent

Reports have come to us that pur-
chasers Of raw rock rz1osphates in the
upper valley last year were very well
satisfied with the use of this material,
especially on apples and corn. These re-
ports came through those interested in
the sale of this product in the county.
Since that time we have checked with
others who have observed orchards,
particularly where the phosphate was
used, and they report that they have
been able to see very little if any re-
suits from the use of raw phosphate
from the orchards The orchards which
are showing good results where the
phosphate has been applied are or
chards which were largely in good con-
dition anyway having been we'll fertil-
lied over period of years.
During the past week we have
checked with additional growers here
and find, so far, no one who feels that
he has gotten worth while results
from it.
In a year such as this when money
for fertilizers will be rather difficult to
get, it would seem that farmers should
study the fertilizer program very care
fully and check just as closely as pos
sible to secure local information. One
should be able to maintain crop pro-
duction without loss in quality at
very considerable saving in such years
as this, particularly if he has been
fertilizing crops we'll. Your county
agent will be glad to council with you
on fertilizer matters You should also
be able to get assistance from your To-
cal fertilizer dealers.

Data Gathered
For Publicity
For This Valley
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO
BE FEATURED IN PHOTOS
AND NEWS STORIES

Lon Cook, publicity agent for the
Milwaukee railroad west of Butte, with
headquarters in Seattle, was in this
valley Wednesday, taking photographs
and gathering data for news stories to
be published in the Coast papers and
the Milwaukee magazine.
AT the White Bluffs high school,
Josephine Westling and Elaine Cole
man. All club girls, were featured in
a demonstration of apple pie baking.
A recipe for making apple pie was
given to Mr.. Cook by these girls and
this recipe will quite likely be published
in the magazine.
AT the grade school, Evelyn Barge
and Pauline Leander were featured in
making onion sandwiches. Evelyn and
Pauline were winners of the prize in
the Junior Demonstration contest at
breakfast.
Somewhat similar photos were taken
in the Hanford schools, those whose
pictures were taken being lola May
Conkling, Shirley Slavens, Lois Heard
and Betty King.
In company with c. G. Mccormick,
agricultural development agent OF the

points along the route of the railroad
where pictures were taken and news
data gathered as in this valley

Two White Bluffs
Ladies Fly to Yakima

Not that they are particularly "air-
minded, they say, but rather because
they wanted to enjoy the thrill, if such
there be, of flying, Mrs. r. E. Gibbins
and Mrs. r. S. Reierson boarded a
commercial plane at White Bluffs last
Sunday and flew over to Yakima
This was the first time that either OF
the ladies was ever up in the air, they
fsay, and they enjoyed ALI the sensa-
tons of the first of such adventures
Thirty-five minutes after they took
off from the White Bluffs landing
field they were at the Yakima airport
Cross currents of wind, the pilot told
them, slowed up the speed of the plane
somewhat.
They followed fairly closely the route
of the White Bluffs Yakima road and
estimate the average altitude on the
trip at 1900 feet.
Mr.. Gibbins and Mr.. Reierson drove
over to Yakima in car and met their
better halves and they all finished out
the day by attending show, return
ing home in the evening

Proper Dressing Of Turkeys
To Be Demonstrated

According to an announcement made
by County Agent E. c. Durdle, series
of three or four demonstration meet
ings on turkey killing and dressing will
be held in the county in the near flu
ture. These are being held in response
to demands from turkey growers who
have had quite little difficulty in
the past in dressing birds SO as to
get them to grade out the U. S. rs.
Some of these growers have told the
county agent of considerable losses
sustained last year because of a poor
understanding of the essentials for
killing and dressing 1t is hoped, said
Mr.. Durdle, that through these series
of meetings that growers will be able
to secure better price for birds this
fall.
Definite places and dates of holding
these meetings will be announced
little later, probably through letters to
turkey growers.

The biggest warehouse event of this
season occurred Sunday when the
warehouse crew, with White Bluffs and
Hanford friends, gave charivari for
Walter Schirm and his bride, formerly
Miss lone Moshberger. The young
couple we're married Saturday in va
kima. The charivari was given at the

had met Walters charming bride, we
played couple of hilarious games.
Stanley Gray, of Hanford gave us

young folks also gave couple Of num-
bers. Joe Fouty Chat quiet, retiring
person at a party) organized a court
with Arno Krug as the judge, and the

the young couple left for Portland

we have their promise that we shall
see them again.
Mrs. Wendeborn, we really feel sorry

Benson Ranch Artesian
Well to Be Concerted

Mr.. and Mrs. George Scott of the
Benson ranch returned home Monday
evening from a few days business mis-
sion to Portland and Seattle. They
were accompanied on the trip by Mrs
Della A. Brown of Cold Greek. While
in Portland Mr.. Scott purchased equip
ment and material for the concreting
of the artesian well he is drilling at
the ranch. The hole is now down 1000
feet and it is being concerted for the
double purpose of keeping broken
pieces of rock in the lower stratas
from falling into the we'll and to MAIN
tain the same diameter of the hole in
stead of being made smaller as is the
case when iron casting is used.

Warehouse Chat

Saturday, Mrs. Sutherland substitute
table.
Tuesday, Leland Jackson was caught
in the act of suspending himself by
rope from a warehouse rafter. Cues
toned, Jackson first denied any at
tempt at suicide, claiming he was only
trying to lengthen his neck, but later
broke down and confessed to reporters:
Night after night, day after day, am
haunted by horrible visions of apple
worms and huge San Jose scales,
creeping out Of the Gull box and fol-
lowing me around At night I dream
Of them; in the day, have to tend
To them; I was almost distracted and
saw way to end it all" We are think
ing of finding SOMETHING for Mr..
Jackson to do, SO that such morbid
thoughts will not enter his mind.
Last week the White Bluffs Ware
house reporter asked us to tell her If it
is merely coincidence that Snuce Is
said to MARBLE the same song that
one Of their sorters seems to favor.
We can only say that we can often
hear his wonderful basso profundo
echoing through the warehouse. AL
though he greatly prefers the song in
question to any other, he hasn't learned
all the words as yet. But still it may
be said that he is making progress and
the next time this popular duo get
together they'll be well schooled in the
It Love You" songs-with, of course,
the cooperation of both warehouses.
Next week in these columns, we will
introduce Madam Jose Scalum, our
clairvoyant, who can take one look at
an apple and tell you some very start
ling things about its past. Nothing
is safe from Nine. Scalum. We hope
you will like her.
