She has sponsored rumors of European conquests to gain the interest of New York society. Drake judges her by this reputation.

FROST DOES NO
DAMAGE HERE
THIS SPRING
Late Freeze Hits Regions on
All Sides, Causing More or
Less Damage to Gardens
and Soft Fruit.

Heavy frost was reported be-
tween Sprague and Spokane last
night and frost to a more or less
degree was reported thruout the
Yakima valley down as far as
Richland, also. Around Kennewick
the thermometer did not quite
reach the freezing mark and all
kinds of fruit remain unchanged
from cold weather.
This spring has been one of
rather unusual weather thruout
the valley, and one which will be
remembered for years to come, no
doubt. Since things began to grow
this spring there has been no frost
of any kind and the weather, ex-
cept for the winds has been es-
pecially favorable for the growth
of the grass and strawberries. The
peaches, apricots, cherries and
other soft fruit has been develop
ing rapidly, the weather being cool
enough to permit of quolity a nd
size.
At Hover, the section of the
Yakima valley most famous for its
soft fruits, the peach crop is so
heavy that thinning will be the
practice in all the orchards. The
apricots in that section too, have
already been thinned to permit the
trees to carry the weight.
The early varieties of cherries
are being picked now with the Tar
tarians and Bings following by the
last of next week. From all re-
ports, this years crop will be near
" as large if not equal to the bum
per crop in '28 and the price out
look is very favorable. Many of
the younger planting will come in
to their first bearing this year and
growers are happy over their
prospects.

Owners of strawberry patches in

S. P. & S. PAYS
$4,000 TOWARD
LOCAL SCHOOLS
County Taxes from One Rail-
road More than $108,00 /;
Two Thousand a Month to
Good Roads.

OF the Sos, 631 SO in taxes which
the S. P. & S. railroad will pay to
Benton County this year, more than
sea, 900 will go for educational
purposes, H. j. Turner, general
tax agent for the road told MEM
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
this noon.
For county purposes, his road
will contribute nearly $4,000 this
year and the roads will require
nearly $4,000 of the earnings
from the railroad, while for veter-
ans relief will go a trifle under
$500 this year, according to Mr..
Turner.
Mr.. Turner's talk was for the
purpose of asking from citizens
the same sort of treatment that is
given their competitors, he said,
and his talk which was illustrat-
ed with large gratis, showed the
fact that one fourth of every dol
lar which the railroads received

various sorts. Taxes of every kind
have been heaped upon the rail-
roads faster than upon any other
business, he said.
Mr.. Turner called attention to
the fact that 40 million people in
the United States owned the rail-
roads, that life insurance o M
panies, trust companies and banks
all over the land were investors in
railroad securities and should they
ever fail the disaster accruing to
the financial structure of the Unit
ed States would be appalling.
"Ours is land not of MEM
ories", Mr.. Turner concluded,
"but Of expectations. We are a
people who think in terms of the
future. But for America, the
splendors of the future are large
~ conditioned upon her railroad
development. We have not yet
reached the terminus, for the pres
ent is but a way station. The lines
come to us out of the past, freight
ed with experiences and stretch
forward in the direction we must
travel in the years to come"

EXPLOSION AT
PROSSER STILL
is A MYSTERY
William SiIlman and Sister
Blown to Bits in Car as
Dynamite is Set Off; Mo-
tives Lacking for Deed

Prosser's mysterious bombing
Monday morning, which ended the
Ices of William Sillman, 81, and
his sister, Mrs. Rose Auritt, 56,
both Of Spokane, apparently was
suicide and murder, according to
statement made this noon by Coun-
ty Prosecutor Charles L. Powell.
Sillman apparently set off the
dynamite blast which demolished
his light coupe and cut and mang-
ed the two bodies. That the ex-
plosion was accidental was hardly
possible, Powell said, following in
vestigation of the sale of the dyn-
amite, caps and battery to Sill
man himself.
Cause of the suicide and murder,
is such suppositions are correcr,
still remain mystery, Powell add
ed. despite the findings in the in
vestigation which point to suicide,
the coroner has not yet filed a
suicide report" he continued.
Sillman, accompanied by his
sister, were returning to their
ranch two miles east of Prosser on
the main highway shortly after
nine o'clock Monday morning and
had just turned off the highway
into the lane leading to their ranch
when the terrific explosion blew
their car to bits and dismembered
Sillman and tor his sisters body
in two.
Apparently the dynamite was
carried in front of or under the
front seat, Judging from the
wreckage, and the hot shot bat
terry had been wired. The explo-
sion thru Sillman's body rs or 80
feet and his sisters body was found
some distance from the road.
Early in the week a murder
theory was forwarded, Prosser
residents recalling the fact that
last summer a large barn on the
Silliman tract was mysteriously
destroyed by fire and little later
in the summer the house was also
burned to the ground from some
unknown cause.

bringing about $500 crate.
It has been estimated that the
total berry shipment thus far this
season has mounted over the $4O,-
900 mark, and by the close of the
season it is likely the figure will
be increased considerably.
Some grass is still moving, it
was learned. The Big s'Y" is still

NATURAL GAS
COMPRESSED is
ARTIFICIAL ICE
"Dry" Ice, Carbon Dioxide,
So Cold That it ssBurns"
When Touched; Tempera-
ture ITO Below Freezing

A small block of ice which
smokes and steams and will burn
the fingers, is attracting attention
this week at the Clifford
drug store. The ice is the new
"dry" ice now being manufactured
from mineral spring on the
Klickitat river. The ice is solidi-
fled carbon dioxide gas and IS
something like 10 degrees below
freezing. F. A. Kratzer, represent
ing the company which is manu-
featuring the new refrigerant, was
here the first of the week to leave
the sample of the new product.
The new refrigerant makes the
maintenance of unusually low tenn
peratures with ease at small
cost. 1t is said it is possible to re-
frigerate transportation units for
fruits, meats, or what ever the
need may be. with gas ice in
much more convenient manner. In
stead of the new product melting
as does water ice, gas ice gives off
coz gas, and has no other waste
product. and will last many times
longer than the former, with the
advantage of a small amount of
COZ ice used to get the desired re-
suits. The refrigeration ratio is
said to be about Is to 1.
r. B. Newburn, president of the
Northwestern Natural Gas Co., is
also president of the Gas Ice Co.,
whose plant is located at Klicki-
tat Mineral Springs, about 20 miles
from Goldendale, where an un-
limited supply of the natural car
bon dioxide gas is said to exist.
1t has been said by company Of
ficials that the new product is des-
tined to become one of the major
industries of the state, not only be-
cause of its value to the rapidly
developing refrigeration field, but
also in mining, industrial and
chemical manufacturing. the pro-
duction of soft drinks, and scores
of other industries, where the gas
may be used in its various forms.
The Klickitat supply is said to
be the only known source in the
state that supplies the gas in
quantities as pure as 80 percent in
its natural state.

On Transamerica

A. P. Giannini, chairman of the
boards of directors of Transamer-

America Mt. and S.A., in his first
official statement issued since his
return to California, has announced
that the future policies of the IN
stitution would be shaped to
anticipate and meet" the rapidly
growing demands of California.
Our object now and for the
future likewise will be to furnish
progressive methods and superior
financial facilities and services
that will open up greater oppor-
tunitieS and attract and stimulate
worthy business enterprises ana
anticipate and meet the substantial
demands of this fastest growing
state" Giannini declared.
These policies, he added will ad-
vocate in the future, as in the past.
the most direct, simple, practical
and economical system of running
the business of the great Banks OF
America in California as well as
other affiliated institutions, to the
end that depositors and clients and
the communities in which they live
will be properly served, insuring
profitable results for all concerned.
For more than a quarter of a
century our institutions have been
creative community forces he
asserted. "They have contributed
to home building, agricultural ad-
vancement and the development
Of every industry and the en-
couragement Of every movement
for the betterment of California.
California is the place, and
now is the propitious time to start
the wheels of progress and pros
perity moving forward again. We
worked together to bring the
Transamerica institutions back
home and secure their control by
Californians. Standing and work
ing together, we have good reason
to believe that our combined efforts
will again place and maintain our
institutions in the forefront OF
profit-making and profit-sharing

Earnsw0rth Has
Plenty OF Cups

If II. G.. Farnsworth, well known
local dairyman, wins any more cups,
he will have to build new shelf to
accommodate them. since, upon re-
ceiving for the seventh time, the
silver cups offered by the chamber
of commerce, his six foot shelf has
no more room available.
Each Dairy day the chamber
awards this cup to the dairyman
winning the highest total number
OF points in all classe of dairy COW
competition. Wednesday Farnsworth
won the cup and when he took it
home to place it beside the other
six, there was barely room enough
on the shelf for it. He now faces
the problem of having to cease
winning or else of having to build
a second shelf for his trophies.
