GOOD TOMATO. SEED

To obtain good tomato seed, select
one or more plants which have a high
proportion of good fruits, taking into
account size, smoothness, solidity, and
freedom from crackin in the fruit, and
vigor, productiveness, and freedom
from disease in the plant. The whole
seed crop from a plant with uniform
ly good fruit will be better than that
from a superlative fruit from a plant
with some uneven or inferior fruits.
Tag the selected plants and let the
fruit remain on them until thoroughly
ripe but not decayed. Tomatoes inter
cross only slightly and it is fairly safe
to save seed from more than one var
iety in the garden.

Body Of Unknown Man

the body to indicate identity and af-
ter an investigation by Charles Cope
land, deputy sheriff of Kennewick, an6
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Powell
it was taken to Prosser and buried in
the cemetery there.
The man appeared to have been OF
middle age and was dressed in work
ing clothes which caused the Officers
to believe that he might have beer
a workman on the Rock Island Dam
but reports from there said that ne
one was missing.
Officials said that the condition Of
the body indicated it had been in the
water for some time and that they
believed it may have floated con-
siderable distance.
A pocket knife found in his pocket
was the only clue to identity but Of
ficials have been unable to learn his
name.

Court Signs
Two DEGREES
In Water Case
PROJECT WILL PROBABLY BE
OPERATED BY RECEIVER FOR
REST OF SEASON

DEGREES in the two suits in the wa
ter case, one in which a group of the
landowners sought TO enjoin the Priest
Rapids irrigation district from the is
1uance and sale of its bonds and the
other in which the district asked for
an order OF the court confirming all
of it's actions in connection with the
sale of the $l25,000 OF bonds voted by
the landowners in the district, were
signed by the Court on August a.
The two cases were consolidated by
stipulation and tried before Judge
Leayy in the Superior Court at Pros
ser at a hearing beginning July 8.
At the conclusion Of the three-day
hearing on July 10, the Court, in an
oral decision announced from the
bench, denied the application for an
injunction and granted the petition OF
The irrigation district for an order con-
firming the steps it had taken in the
issuance and sale Of is bonds. The de-
crees carry out this decision.
The losers have until September 4, or
thirty days from the date the DEGREES
we're signed in which TO appeal to the
Supreme Court.
1t is not known whether an appeal
is being contemplated but it is prob
able the district will make no effort
to acquire the irrigation project until
after the appeal period has passed.
AS this will be only one month be-
fore the close of the irrigation season.
it is believed that Judge Webster may
feel it expedient to continue the re-
ownership until the irrigation season is
over In that event it will be necessary
for him to continue for another 30
days the time in which the district will
have to complete the bid made for it
by w. H. Keal at the receivership sale
in Yakima last February.
In order to get an idea of the ma
ture of the first necessary improve
meilts to be made at the Priest Ra-
pids power plant as soon as the title
to the irrigation project passes to the
Priest Rapids Irrigation district the
district board, in company with Mar
vim Chase, receiver for the project,
and Joe Picatti, who has charge of the
operation of the plant this year, spent
Monday at Priest Rapids going over
the plant and power canal
This preliminary work is being done
now so as TO have it out of the way
and save time when the project comes
TO the district.
The board has made no decision as
to the nature of the Improvements to
be made but expects to have some
rather definite plans worked out by
The end of the irrigation season.

Oiling Started
On Local Road

Construction crews Of the DIESEL Oil
company, which concern hes the con-
| tract for oiling the White Bluffs Han
ford road, arrived in the valley the
first of the week and are now at work
on the Job.
The oil mixing machine Is located at
Hanford but the oiliag has been start
ed at White Bluffs. This was done So
that the heavy trucks and machinery
being used would not have to travel
over the newly oiled road, which would
started at Hanrord, &c was originally
planned.
The start was made at the Malone
corner and will come directly south to
the Lott corner. 1t will then go south
west down Federal avenue in town to
the corner between the Trading Com
pany store and the Commercial ho-
tel. From there it will follow the
White Bluffs Hanford road to the
junction with the Hanford- Kennewick
road at Hanford.
Lots of dust is being raised by the
heavy trucks and machinery while the
road is being put in condition for the
oil but this, OF course, will all be set
tied when the job is completed for
which every one will be thankful

NEW SEPTIC TANK
INSPECTED BY MUDHEN


w. A. Kaefer and Charles English
the first of the week finished their
vacation job of building septic tank
back of the drug store. Thursday
morning when they went out to re-
move the forms for the concrete they
were surprised to find a mud hen in
one of the compartments, the fowl
having apparently gained entrance
through the small hole at the top
Where it came from and why it should
take up its abode in the tank is a
mystery. Charles removed the mud
hen, took it to the edge Of town and
told it to fly back to where it came
from. 1t seemed to understand and
flew off in the direction of the ponds
southwest of town.

Farmers Threatening to
Refuse to Pay Take

Feeling that the county tax situa-
ton has become unbearable num-
Der of big land owners of the county
are backing a movement whereby pay
ment of taxes is to be refused unless
a substantial reduction is made, it
was stated by a Benton county ranch
er, who, according to a news story pub
porter, had over rs names on pc
Sition that he was circulating. He said
that the signatures of property own
ers are being sought over the entire
county
The petition read: Notwithstanding
that the values of real estate in Ben
ton county have deprecated from 30
to go per cent, 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 further payment
of taxes assessed against real estate
Therefore, we, the undersigned
owners of real property in Benton
county, hereby agree, one with the
other, to refrain from payment of
any real property in Benton county for
a period of at least two years from
the date hereof or until reduction Of
at least IS per cent in such taxes is
made, or the price of farm products
increases at least so per cent"
1t was declared that the names will
be submitted to the county commits
sioners.

Sunnyside Voters Defeat
Leuy; Schools May Close
By JAMES W. BROOKS /.

The Sunnyside school district is in
financial difficulties and the chances
of the district operating this year
seem problematical. The voters in that
district last Thursday defeated To-
mill special levy by a vote of 541 to 427
The proposed levy, designated to
raise about $4,000 for general school
purposes, was also defeated at an ell
ection last spring.
While saying he could not speak for
the board, Kirk Stone, as quoted in
the Yakima Herald, said he did not
see how the school could open this
fall The board had previously indi-
Gated they would not open unless the
additional funds were provided. Some
authorities say that district must
provide at least six months of school.
The 10 mills would have brought
the total levy for all school purposes
up to % mills, as the regular levy is
10 and that for school bonds and bond
interest is Q.
Funds which it was said the dis
trict will have left after providing for
salaries for teachers for whom it has
contracted, and after retiring out
standing warrants, will amount to
$1,000.
Cuts in valuation and consequent de-
cline in income, along with an in
crease in the number of school chill
dren, was said to be the cause of the
difficulty.

Ellis John, Montana Life
Convict May Be Pardoned

Ellis John life convict in the Mon
Jana State penitentiary at Deer Lodge,
has been recommended for pardon by
The governor of that state and the rec
ommendation will be acted upon by
the board of pardons tomorrow, Friday
August T.
There are many people in White
Bluffs who wish Ellis John we'll A
few know him personally; others know
him through the beautiful handwork
he has done since his incarceration.
Specimens Of his paintings and cabinet
work haze been brought to White Bluffs
and sold for him through the activ-
tiles of M M. Wiehl, for whom John
worked many years ago, and Mrs. w.
j. Jenkins, who became interested af-
Ter seeing some of his paintings.
According to a letter received by
Mr.. Wiehl some time ago from the
warden of the penitentiary, Johns con-
duct during the entire period of his
life behind prison walls has been ex
emplary
The money he received for his work
was constantly re-invested for mater
ial and for the last year he has been
studying the building of radios and
expects to pursue this trade in Dillon,
Montana, if his pardon is granted.

Asparagus Proves
Best Early Crop

According to the report OF Lee NJ
Lampson, manager OF the 3-Rivers
Growers association, asparagus alone
Of the crops marketed this year to
date brought better returns than were
received last year, as reported In the
Pasco Herald. Grass handled this year
averaged $1.09 to the grower as COM
pared to $103 last season. Shipments
made prior to May LIST showed an even
stronger difference in favor of this
year with $1.23 against SLIP. Tariff
duties that practically precluded ship
ping into Canadian markets after May
1st, accounted in part for the sharp
decline in May returns.
Strawberries averaged lower than last
year and the quantity and quality
were both below normal The 4x4 pack
averaged net returns of $197 and the
SKIS pack Melted SLIP. Here again the
counter duties on stuff going into the
Canadian markets affected the market
to some degree.
Some new varieties of berries were
tried out this year. In some cases the
tests were not complete enough or on
large enough scale to warrant con-
clusions, but indications were that sew
eral improved strains can be used. In
the case of the Premiers the tests were
more complete and Mr.. Lampson said
that it could be safely said that these
berries will produce from two to four
times as many berries per acre as will
the Seedlings and the new variety
comes on the market just as early, or
did this year at least, and sold right up
with the older and better known var
iety.
EARLY potatoes yielded fairly well
and the quality was good but the
prices have left much to be desired.
Mr. Lampson stated that he was sur
prised that it was possible to find
market for the entire output even at
