turning from Iowa, where he has
been attending college. The cars
turned over and remained upside
down with the occupants stunned,
and lay for more than an hour be-
fore another car came along and

u. P. AGENT ASKS
C. OF C. TO HELP
Says Railroads Keep City, Schools
and County in Operating
Condition

Calling attention to the fact
that the railroads in Benton coun-
ty pay large proportion of the
taxes and that the railroaders
spent nearly a hundred thousand
dollars here each year, A. F.
Brownell, agent for theU. p. gave
g brief talk before the local cham
Der OF Commerce at the luncheon
THIS noon. He made a plea for
greater patronage from among
The farmers and businessmen of
the community and asked a pledge
to ship by rail.
MI. Brownell said that his COM
pany alone paid Benton county
nearly forty thousand dollars this
year in taxes, while the bus lines
PAD a total taxes less than was
spent to maintain the damage they
wrought to the highways of the
community. He said the railroads
were already compelled to reduce
sne,r service by taking off trains
and that officials were consider
ing cutting off two more trains
through here.

The Legion boys had work bee
down at the swimming hole Mon
day night. The steps were given a
going over, a couple of benches
for spectors were installed be-
tween the trees and a couple of
loads of sand were spread to make
the approaches a little nicer. Dur
ing the hot spell over the week
end quite number of residents
made use of the new equipment
and larger numbers are looked for
as soon as the water comes up a
little higher and the weather
warns up.

PACK GRASS
WITH DRY ICE
Replace Cans with New
Method of Preserving;
Experiment Now

Fasteners may be eating Ken
newick asparagus in the near fu-
ture just as fresh and crisp as To-
cal residents. Experiments were
conducted this week at the Three
Rivers warehouse in new method
of preserving the famous Kenne-
wick green asparagus, which may
revolutionize the industry.
The new plan is to freeze the
product here, keep it under SUBJ
zero refrigeration until the retail
sale is made. The purchaser need
only take the product home, put
it into the pot or kettle and cook it
in the ordinary way.
M. r. Daughters, research chem
list for the General Foods corpora
ton, was here Wednesday conduct
ing the first of the experiments.
He had fresh grass picked, treat
ed it in various ways, packed it in
one-pound cartons wrapped in cell
ophane, froze it with "dry ice" and
shipped It to the main offices Of
the company in Massachusetts,.
There the product will be exam
ined at intervals to ascertain its
condition, which, if satisfactory,
will be developed next year. Mr..
Daughters stated that his COM
pany was making speciality of
this method of handling many
kinds of perishable foods and that,
for the most part, it was proving
highly satisfactory. He saw no
reason for thinking that his ex-
periments with the local product
would not prove entirely satisfac-
tory.
In case his company desided to
handle the local product he thot
they would erect treating plant
here to handle such of the crop as
would ordinarily go to the can
neries. The cost of processing is,
at present, about equal to that of
the canning, but that the product
was so much more satisfactory to
the purchaser that that form of
handling would soon find a reader
sale on the eastern markets.
The most important feature of
the company's process is the use
Of "dry ice", which keeps the pro-
duct at a temperature of 100 or
more degrees below freezing. His
company has specially equipped
refrigerator cars, delivery wagons,
warehouses and display cases for
the handling of their specialties.

DIR. Rue to Have
New Hospital Soon

Mrs. George II. Rue writes that
upon their return to Soonan, they
found that plans had been made for
a new hospital, in the capital Of
Korea, Seoul, and for them TO
move there Immediately. Funds
are not available for the compile
ton of the hospital this year, so
DR.. Rue will have office practice
only, and if successful will have
enough patients to keep the hos
pital full by the, time it is complet-
ed. He has new x-ray and other
electrical equipment for his Of
fees, so it is up to date in sup
plies. They state they are busy in
their new home and enjoy it very
much. Their address is DR.. Geo. H.
Rue, Outside East Gate, Seoul,
Korea.
The Rues were former residents
of Kennewick, and visited here in
the early spring, while on a six
months leave from Korea.

NOW SECOND
Protested Game is Dis
carded; Team III a S
Good Chance

Last Sunday the Kolts played
Toppenish at the local base ball
park and went home winner to the
tune of 5 to 1. 1t was a good game,
good crowd, good and hot, and a
nice time was had by all. The
Kolts were on their toes and
played the same kind Of ball they
are going to play the balance of
the season. In the second inning
we landed on the Toppenish pitch
er after two were down and wound
up the inning with four earned
runs, the first score of the game.
Toppenish's lone score came in the
ninth. Anderson's hit between first
and second brought in the first
two scores. Record, in his first
start, pitched a four-hit game for
Kennewick and played nice
game, Evett and Clark played their
usual good game, with Evett get
ting three hits out of five trips to
the plate.
Hudnall made a sweet, sweet
catch of a drive to center and it
looked so much like safe hit that
two Toppenish runners were near
ly home, when Hudnall doubled at
second for the third out. This, we
think was the first double on part
of the locals this season. Other
league scores for Sunday were:
Pasco 6, Yakima a; Grandview z,
Goldendale 6; Mabton 9, Sunny
side K

at Walla Walla Next

Quite a number of Pasco golf
ers came over the bridge last Sum
day to play on Kennewick's course,
which is in fine condition at this
time of year. The visitors were
matched with local players and an
interesting tournament was held.
Next Sunday both teams will go
to Walla Walla, where they will
participate in the four-city tourn-
ament. A later date has been set
for the game at Waitsburg. Ken
newick is now leading the league
in points, and the club stands a

COW CATCHER
GETS AHORSE
Terrible Train Wreck
Doesn't Happen; Kid
Thinks Nag Hurt

This is story of a terrible ac-
cident that didn't happen.
All conditions were set for pill
ing up a passenger train with its
load Of human freight into the gull
ley just west of tiwn Monday
night, and railroaders familiar
with such occurrences cannot fig
ure out yet why it didn't happen.
These are the details.
A youngster living on the lower
end of the River Road borrowed q
neighbours horse. He had ridden the
animal down the hill from the
golf course, and attempted to lead
the animal across the railroad Gull
vert over the draw at the foot of
the hill. It was in the late after
noon, just before eastbound N. p.
passenger train No. 2 was due.
The horse was nearsighted- or
something-and slipped between
the ties. All the kid could do fail
ed to get the horses legs up onto
a firm footing again. Hearing the
approaching train In the distance
the youngster abandoned the horse
and fled across the field.
laundering down the grade came
the train. The horse, fast between
the ties could not be seen from the
engine cab as it was around the
curve at that point. With a jar
that was felt thru the entire train
the engine hit the horse and
kept on it's way!
A smashed cow catcher and a
totally ruined horse, few broken
ties in the culvert are all the dam
ages now chalked up, tho railroad
ers cannot perceive why the train
was not derailed from the impact.
The youngster remarked after
the accident that he supposed the
horse was pretty badly hurt"

an P. HAS PART
NUP BUILDING
Local Projects Aided by
Roads Cooperation Ex-
press Appreciation

That the N. p. railroad has had
- small part in the development
~ fh;s section was brought to light
today when Secretary Carpenter
rsad a letter from G. Fl. Plum
mer. western land agent for the N.
D in reply to communication
sent him recently from the local
chamber. The letter follows:
At have received a copy of the
resolution adopted by the cham
her expressing the appreciation of
;ts members for the assistance
rendered by our company in the
reconstruction of the Highlands
irrigation project. We value very
highly this evidence of the good
viIl and the friendly feeling of the
Kennewick people for our COM
pany.
1--WE have had special interest
IN Kennewick since our company
rebuilt the gravity canal a num-
Der of years ago and undertook
the settlement of that district and
the exceptional growth and de-
yelopment of the community has
fully justified our faith in the
project. Our interests as a trans
portation company serving your
community have been closely allied
with your prosperity and when re-
Gently the opportunity was pre-
sented to US to aid the Irrigation
District in its program for plac-
ing the system in sound finan-
eial and operating condition, the
plan received the enthusiastic sup
port Of our officers in st. Paul, as
well as in the West.
1--WE were glad of the opportun-
ity to assist IN carrying forward
the work started by o. A. Fech-
ter and the late John J. Rudkin
for bringing to a full development
the Highlands area on which Mr..
Rudkin had expended so much Of
bis time and thought. 1t was par
ticularly gratifying also to have
the whole-hearted support of the
State Department of Conserva-
ton and Development in this
work. Director Barnes has shown
the greatest interest in working
out the details of this program. It
has also been a pleasure to work
with your fellow-townsman, M. NJ.
Aoulton, upon whom has devolv-
ed the duty of bringing the mat
ters Of reorganization to success
full close"

YEGG CRACKS
FORD co. SAFE
Grab Suspect at Yakima
Next Morning; Get
Finger Prints

Yeggs broke into the z. C.
Smith Motor Co. office Sunday
night, broke the lock- off the safe,
opened it and fled with all the
money in sight. The checks and
other papers in the safe were neat
\ y piled up and left in plain sight.
Deity removing a pane from a
rear window, the thieves entered
the shop, prowled around until
they found an overcoat in one Of
the rooms, put it down on the
floor, tipped the safe over on il and
went to work. Knocking off the
dial, they used punch and drove
the pin out of the lock, when the
door was easily opened.
The job was the work Of experts
for there was not an unnecessarily
scratch or mark on the safe, moth
ing was battered up or exploded.
A couple of taps with a heavy
hammer, then with a punch and the
safe opened like pie.
ADD to Burglary story -VeDmk
Quick and clever work on the
part of the police has resulted in
the arrest Of man to whom cir
cumstantial evidence points strong
ly. He is now being held in jail at
Yakima. Night Patrolman Bert
Moores noticed a car parked in the
railway cut west of town Sunday
night. He gave the car, which was
empty, a going over, noted the Ii
cense number, etc. He returned to
the police station to look up the
registration and to see if the car
had been stolen.
When he returned to the car
again it had been removed.
Calling Highway Patrolman Mar
win Carnahan to notify him to be
on the lookout for the car, he re-
turned to town. Next morning the
car was stopped on its way out Of
Yakima and the driver held for in
vestigation.
The man being held has a police
record for doing similar job, is
under suspicion of having commit
ed a similar one in Dayton recent
" and is out on parole from anoth-
er institution. Officers are unde-
cided as to whether they can Sc
cure enough to convict, unless the
finger printing proves his guilt
conclusively.
The loss was covered by insur-
ance.
