GROWERS LISTEN TO
INTERESTING FRUIT TALKS

While the attendance at the fruit
growers meeting at the high school
auditorium Monday evening was not
large. those who were there enjoyed
very interesting and instructive
evening.
V. T. Boaz Of Yakima, secretary OF
the Central Washington Growers AS
ISOLATION, made the principal address
of the evening, going into detail to
explain how the money collected from
the growers in 1880 for advertising
had been spent and the benefits de-
rived from it. He also told of other
activities of the association to further
the interests of the fruit growing in
dustry. He said that the association
was maintaining a representative at
Olympia during the session of the
Legislature to keep in touch with and
study contemplated measures affect
ing the fruit industry and he also
explained contemplated changes in
the apple grade and pack rules.
II. V. Morgan, a grower in the Yak
ina valley, member Of the association
also made a talk, the most interest
ing part of which was a detailed ac-
count of recent visit he made to
the marketing centers in the East to
ascertain in what condition the West
ern apples were arriving and to study
conditions surrounding the marketing
of the fruit.
Another meeting of the White
Bluffs. local is to be. held within the
next month or two, when it is hoped
there will be larger attendance of
growers. At this meeting two new
members must be elected on the To-
cal board to fill the places made va
can't by the recent deaths of Robert
Nitzsche and j. E. Baker. The hold
over members on the board are R. J.
Roberts, w. H. Keal and w. F. Shaw.

kenneWick MasOns Celebrate
Silver Anniversary

Twenty-Five years ago when Ken
settled than at present, a group OF
seventeen Masons, living at points
scattered between Connell and what
is now Kiona, met at Kennewick
And after elaboration decided to
petition the Grand Lodge of Wash
ington for a charter, and as a re.
suit a temporary charter was issued
to what is now Kennewick Lodge No.
153, F. & A. NJ, allowing them TO
meet and organize new lodge. Head
ed by John ]. Sercombe, as master,
this little group set to work with
such good effect that as the lodge
meets next Wednesday to celebrate
it's silver anniversary, the roster
shows membership of IFS, meeting
in one of the most modernly equip
ed and up-to-date lodge halls in the
Inland Empire. The program begins
with a banquet at the hall at $50
p. M, after which the lodge will
convene in regular session with the
former charter members and past
master of the lodge as it's espec-
ial guests. Visiting masters. wardens,
and members of Masonic lodges be.
tween Walla Walla and Yakima
have been invited to attend. Frank
G. Sutherlin, a Masonic speaker Of
Spokane, will deliver the address

ment of Efficiency, the Director of
which is one of his appointees, to
audit the land office, but two years
ago he vetoed the section in the high
way bill which provided an audit Of
the Highway Department by the State
Auditing Department. The people OF
this state should demand the audit
ing of all the departments of the
state by capable and disinterested
auditing body and am informed that
the Commissioner of Public Lands
welcomes such an audit.
All in all, the outlook for construc-
tive tax legislation is not bright. The
report Of the Advisory Tax Com
mission is embodied in twenty-five
proposed bills. The fact that the Gov
ernor did not advocate their enact
ment into law. would indicate that his
forces in the House will oppose their
enactment If all those who supported
the present speaker are also admins
tration supporters, it follows that a
majority will oppose the suggestions
Of the tax commission. This is denied
bv many of those who supported
Templeton and only futrTe develop
ments can prove the truth OF it.

LEVEL IN RIVER
is LOWEST IN YEARS

Sam Allard says the reading on
the measuring gage at the pumping
plant at Coyote Rapids, Monday
showed the stage of water IN the
Columbia river to be the lowest since
the guage was installed, more than
twenty years ago. A new low mark
was established last year but that
occurred in March, when the river
is ordinarily at it's lowest annual
level. Should the river continue to
fall for another thirty days or six
weeks the level will undoubtedly be
considerably below the record estab-
lished in 1880. There is no ice along
the shores of the river below Priest
Rapids nor is there at this time any
floe ice running in the current.

tor over ten years, ended December
81 with the filing of dissolution
notice. This action was taken with
the mutual consent and mutual re-

cided that the condition of his

AL through the game they RACED
me and everytime they did I hand
ed them one better. One guy said
something while he vas at bat l
didn't like.
"LisSen, you. I intended 70 let you
hit the ball, but just for that Ill
strike you out. Take that, and that

1 guess that taught these birds
something for they kept their traps
shut from then out. OF urse we
win the game, 3 TO /. and they
got lucky and made three hits, all
scratches.
Barred From World Series
1 thought when l went up there
that Id get a chance in the world
series, but II seems that the rules
are against ii, which was a good
break TOR the AS. Anyhow, il made
me mad when l found out that l
wouldn't get q chance to play. And
wasn't thinking about the money,
either. l wanted 10 show those
birds just how good I was. In fact,
until that time l didn't know how
good l was myself and wanted TO
find out.
AS you know the Cards won. Just
why Street didn't use me any more
I never could figure, but the game
I beat the Pirates cinched the
flag for US so I guess that was
the reason. Anyhow, l was learning
a lot.
Joe Sugden was elected as my
roommate. Now l like Joe a lot; he
Is a fine guy, but his idea OF what
a big Lacquer should do is 20 years
old. If l wanted a date. Joe said
no, I better stay IN. IL I came in
late he wanted to know where l
was. And imagine this~Joe fig
ured $50 was late.
While Joe and / never actually
fought. we did have some rows. He
wouldn't believe me q couple OF
times when I showed him my watch
which said Oils. He always pulled
out his own dollar timepiece and
said:
mo, Dizzy, either your watch
stopped or someone set it back
while you wasn't looking. Ny watch
says u IS 2 q. m"
Just Wait Till Next Year
When world series time came, the
players were excited and talking
about whether Cochrane could hit
a curve or If Foxx was a good fast
ball hitter and whether Groves
curve was as good as Hallahan's
and all that. This got under my
hide.
You birds next year won't be
talking about whether M guys

That trip me and Tony Kauf-
man took to New York TO join the
Cardinals was the longest ' ever
took and the first time I'd ever been
to New York. what a burg that
IS! They call Broadway the big
white way, but II looks like the
street in Duffunies carnival and
tent show that used 20 come 10
Spaulding. Okla, at fair time.
When We got there Tony and me
went TO the Alamac where the
Cards were stopping. The first
person connected with the Cards
that I saw was Joe Sugden, a scout
and coach.
We'll, joe" I said. Il told you al
st. Joe that Id be up here and
here l am. You can tell those
birds they can start spending their
world series money now"
That afternoon 1 went out 10 the
Polo grounds with the Cards. We're
playing the Giants and the Dodgers
were leading the league by two
games, the Giants and Cards we're
tied for second, so this was a big
series and there was a big crowd
out there.
Stunned by Huge Crowd
At first the sight OF that crowd
kinda flabbergaSted me. but after
/ was in there a couple Of min
utes I found out that the bigger
the crowd the easier 1t Is 10 play
in front Of. In fact. / like crowds.
Give me a crowd TO pitch in front
OF and I'm twice as good as or
binary. And I'm pretty good when
just ordinary.
Before We left the hotel I saw
Gabby Street. the manager.
How about pitching this after
noon?" I asked.
But Gabby says no, that he in
tends 70 use Wild Bill Hallahan.
Bill wins his ball game.
That night / asked Street again.
"Now's the time TO use me. Ill
beat those birds and another de-
featll break their backs I pleaded.
But again he said no, just keep
my eyes open and be ready when
ne wanted me.
That was kinda hard TO take
on account that down in Houston
they used me every f.urth day and
to relieve N between. I must have
let Gabby know that / didn't think
his judgment was so good because
he kinda got sour on me.
Things rambled along through
this series and then the Brooklyn
series and finally back home and
me not getting a chance. I sure was
peeved. Gabby evidently didn't be-
lieve I could stand the gaff. and
worrying about riding that bench
made me sick the last half OF the
road trip.
Then Comes Big Moment
We come into St. Louis \ half
a game in front. Pittsburgh was
playing US. I'm not feeling any too
pert and wasn't expecting TO get
called on. I think Branch Hickey
must have done something about
1t because he was there that day.
