BALL PLAYERS
ARE SLUGGERS

The Kennewick baseball team
has five men who are hitting bet
ter than three hundred. Upon this
TACT is based the hope for another
winning team, as it was super
ior stick work which copied the
Tag for the hometowners last
year. Other teams in the league
nave come to look upon the Berry
fickers as tough men to beat, ow-
ing to their propensity to clouting
me apple clear out into the tall
grass.
Clark, new man this year,
mas so far topped the list with
= seasons average of 500. Ross
nillsey comes next with an aver
age OF 1859, followed by Farley,
with .444, Hudnall, 374 and Gabby
Siassner with 333. The game Sum

OF
NORMAL TELLS
ADVANTAGES
Speaker at Luncheon Asks
Parents to Consider Higher
Schooling; Need of Educa-
tion Becoming Greater

A delegation from the Cheney
Commercial club was present at to-
days luncheon of the Kennewick
Chamber of Comerce. DR.. Har-
grave, president of the normal
school there, was the principal
speaker for the delegation. He was
trying to "sell" his education plant
to local parents, and in a very in
teresting talk, told of the advant-
ages to be secured at his institu-
ton, over others in the state.
He said that education was the
largest and most effective indus
try in the United States today;
that two out of every seven of our
inhabitants were connected with il
in one way or another; either as
attendants or as administrators.
The cost of operating the schools
in the United States was more than
two billion dollars year.
He said that democracy could
only be successful thru education
which by the way was undergoing
some decided improvements in re-
cent years. He said that never
again could the two colossal
blunders of the present generation
ever be repeated, if the youth of
today were permitted to secure the
proper edcuation. He referred to
the world war and the present &C.
onomic condition. Both of these
terrible experiences could have
been prevented if the youth of the
past generation had been given
the proper education.
DIR. Hargrave was followed by
Mr.. Brown, secretary of the Cheney
Chamber, who spoke briefly Of the
friendly feeling their community
had for this section, and closed
with special invitation to visit
their organization.

Thousands of Sandwiches and
Thousands of Dishes of Ice
Cream Served; Modern
Plant Is Admired by All

Fully eight thousand people at
tended the opening of the Twin
City Creamery last Saturday, ac-
cording to Manager Paul Spreen.
And all of them were hungry, APP
parently, for six thousand sand
witches were served and eight hun
dred and fifty gallon of ice cream
were dished out.
People from all over this area,
from Ritzyille to Pendleton and
from Prosser to Walla Walla were
present. Many of the visitors were
old customers, but also large
number were curious to see a mod
ern creamery plant. All were given
ample opportunity to view the new
building and machinery and many
aompliE. ents We're received by the
force in charge.
Several local institutions sent
flowers to the opening of the new
plant, which is conceded to be a
most welcome addition to the bus
mess institutions of the city.
C. III. Dickerson of Richland won
the $40 bonus for bringing in the
largest amount of cream that day,
his total being 81.59 pounds of but
terfat. Cecil Cummings, of Wal

INCOME
BILL TO GET
SUPPORT HERE
Group Representatives Plan
to Secure Local Backing;
Bill Aims to Relieve Tax
for Schools

Local endorsement of Initiative
No. SO was started Tuesday night
when several representative citi-
zens held a meeting to formulate
plans for having the petitions cir
culated in this district. The bill
provides for a state income tax,
the purpose of which is to force
a contribution toward the operat-
ing expenses of the state from
those people who are enabled to
evade their proper share owing to
the fact that they happen to own
no real property upon which as
sessments can be made.
The provisions Of the new bill
are said to based upon the ability
to pay and deductions are made up
to certain amounts for those who
are paying taxes upon real prop
erty. The main provisions similar
to the federal income tax, but the
exemptions and deductions are
simpler and palmer and there is
less possibility of evasion.
One of the principal feature of
the proposed bill is that the en-
tire proceeds are to be applied to-
ward the operation of the schools,
thus relieving the heaviest single
item from taxation on real prop
erty.
The bill has the endorsement Of
the Farm Bureau, the State
Grange, educators, realtors and
other organized groups.

Big Crop

The heaviest cherry crop ever
produced is expected on the Wal
lace Williams tract on the High
lands this year. In 1928 a 15O-ton
crop was harvested, according to
while experienced fruit
men estimate that the crop now on
the Williams tract will total at
least 200 tons. On cherry orch
ards which have received good
care, bumper crops are expected
from the indications on the trees
at this stage. Some complaint has
been received about the twins
which are numerous this year, but
experienced growers state that
this is an indication only Of a
bountiful yield.

BEST IN WEST
is THE OPINION
OF ENGINEER
Local Projects Combine More
Advantages Than Any 9th
err Irrigated District, Says
Chief Engineer a.e..

"Due to several advantageous
conditions, the irrigation projects
here at Kennewick are the best in
the west, in my opinion" said H. e.
Wilbert, engineer in charge Of
the rehabilitation of the Highlands
system, in talk made Tuesday to
the Kiwanis club.
shy experience with the reclaim
alton department has given me
wide knowledge of irrigation pro-
iects and an insight into the prob
lens which confront them. The
combination of natural advantages
here are more numerous than in
any other section that ! know of"
he continued.
Mr.. Wilbert pointed out that our
early and long growing season
gave this section a decided advant-
age in being able to grow the high
er priced crops. The lack Of nee
essity for expensive storage reser-
voirs, due to the steadily increas-
ing return flow from the irrigat-
ed districts farther up the valley,
assure us of a never failing water
supply. Improved and more eff
cient pumping apparatus, cheaper
energy and greatly improved
distribution system gives to the
Highlands project an exceptionally
high rating. The refinancing plan
is without equal in the United
States, containing, as it does, the
possibility of the plant itself not
only functioning for the benefit
of the land owners but also of re-
turning its construction costs.

3O-YEAR-OLD
ISSUE FOUND
IN HOUSE WALL
Courier Dated June &c, 1902
Found When Building Is
Demolished; Was Only Is
sue Missing in Volume

In tearing down one of the
houses built in the valley in the
early days, a copy of The Column
bia Courier, dated June 26, 1902,
was found between the walls. The
old paper still bears the 1egible adj
dress of w. II. Adams.
In size, the weekly was II by Is
inches, had eight pages, three of
which were printed locally. A few
of the names mentioned in it's
pages are still familiar, altho 80
years have passed since it's publ
cation.
1t was in the spring of 1902 that
the first water was brought to
Kennewick by the present gravity
system. Townpeople stsged big
celebration on the event of the
opening of the irrigation system.
Mention was made of the occasion
in the paper, which also indicates
that conditions have not changed
so terribly much in the thirty
years.
The paper states: We've had
the excitement of opening, and liv-
ing thru it. Then came the sand
storm, and closing the opening,
all of them, but we are all look
ing anxiously up the ditch line.
Monday afternoon was the
time and Kennewick the place; that
is, one of 'em. The event? Well, for
once my pen and my nerves are
unequal to the task of description.
You've seen in various papers that
in divers and sundry other places,
to-wit, Walla Walla ard elsewhere,
the wind, yes sir, the wind, blew
with vicious vindictiveness and
vehement velocity, in some places
blowing out large plate glass win
dows. Notwithstanding the hor-
rible reputation Kennewick has for
wind, we are, am proud to state
that no large plate glass windows
were blown out of this town, or
the country imediately adjacent or
contiguous thereto. And further
this deponent saith not"
The finding of this particular
issue was a peculiar coincidence.
Newspapers make practice Of
keeping copy of each issue and at
the end of the year, binding them
into a complete volume. This Of
flee has such file of issues since
the first one. As it happens, cas-
ually checking thru the first file
we discovered that this particular
issue was missing from our bound
volume. Its discovery and return
makes our files complete, includ-
ing both The Courier and The Re-
porter, since 1902, when the Cour-
ierNwas founded. A complete and
intimate record of the happenings
Of this community, since it's earl
lest days are thus to be found in
our files. They may be seen ut
any time by those interested.

porary reduction in the power

Comments

Senator Stimson of Pasco, who
was a guest of the Chamber of
Commerce this noon, made a couple
of observations concerning Kenne-
wick which may not have occurred
to local residents. He said when he
first came to this country there
were five saloons here and one
grocery store and that local peo-
pie felt that the grocery business
was overdone. He said he noticed
that the sign of a wrecking estab-
lishment had been painted over the
old saloon sign one one of the
buildings-that perhaps It should
have been that originally. On an
other building which he knew had
been used as a saloon, now appear
ed a Pickle Factory sign. He thot
that is what the original sign
should have been.

BE CAREFUL
ON BRIDGES

State Highway Patrolman Mar
vim Carnahan stated today that pc
destrians and motorists crossing
inter-city bridge should use ex-
treme caution. due TO the narrow
ness Of the bridge, and the absence
of a pedestrian walk.
He declared that when two cars
are approaching after dark it is
difficult to see anyone afoot, and
that the motorist and pedestrian
should use extreme care. Pedes-
TRANS should be on the alert, and
not stand in the roadway any more
than is possible, till such a time
that walk can be constructed
alongside the roadway.
He also warned that the 25-mile
limit placed on the bridge is to be
strictly needed, as faster travel
causes the structure to vibrate and
weaken the supports.
The state law, officer Carnahan
stated, says pedestrians walking
along highways should keep to the
left, or face approaching traffic,
and whenaa vehicle draws close TO
them they shall step to the side Of
the road and give clearance.
Canadian declared that the duty
of the Highway Patrol is to protect
lives and property and TO make the
highways safe, so they are asking
the cooperation of everyone TO be
aware cfSthe bridge danger.

WHAT IS TIT. and how does it improve cigarette taste?

Turkish tobacco are all merged into one Chesterfield tobacco.
 This welding or Cross-Blending goes beyond ordinary blending or mixing tobaccos together. It actu- ally makes every kind of tobacco in Chesterfield partake of the quail ities of every other type.
 It's the Cross-Blending of fine Turkish and Domestic tobaccos that gives Chesterfelds a distinc- tive, better taste.
 They are milder. They have flavor and aroma which, we be- ieve, you will like.

YOU'VE heard how fruit of one Il variety has been crossed with fruit of another to produce a new and more pleasing flavor. The loganberry, for example, is cross between the raspberry and the blackberry.
 ChesterGeld's Cross-Blend gets the same result-better taste by a different method.
 It welds together the different kinds of several varieties of tobac- co. Many types of Bright tobacco, great many types of Burley tobacco, and numerous grades of
