IN
COUNTY PAY
IN S275,OOO.
Four Railroads Add $175, 900
to Exchequer; Three Pro-
test Part Payment; u. p.
Pays Up in Full

Over $685. 900 was collected
by the county treasurer last month
for taxes, according to word re-
ceived this week from the county
seat. About half Of this amount
was received from the four rail-
roads which operate through this
county. Many property owners
waited until the last moment to
make their first half payments on
last years assessments, which
prevented them from becoming de-
.linquent.
All but one of the four railroads
operating in Benton county made
payments under protest. The
Union Pacific did not enter q pro-
test and paid it's real taxes in full.
The concern was assessed So, 290.
Taxes paid by the railroads
amount to s1S7 ,093, as the North
ern Pacific paid one-half of it's
$92 ,522 assessment, the S. p. & S.
paid half of its 500, 461 assess
ment and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul paid half of its as
sessment of $1O,623. Tax collec-
tions for the month of May this
year, are less than for the same
period last year, altho they are
considerably larger than the off
Gals had anticipated.

ADVANTAGES
OF DISTRICT
NOT REALIZED
Quality and Production Are
Greater Here Than in Any
Other Section, Says New
Mans with Churchs.

Kennewick people do not, by
any means, appreciate the won
ders of this area, in the opinion
of Herbert II. Fletcher, sales pro-
motion manager for the Church
Grape Juice company stated in a
talk before the local Kiwanis club
Tuesday.
Mr.. Fletcher called attention to
the fact that Horace Wray, for
one, is authority for the statement
that his berries produce at the
rate of 700 crates per acres, while
the average berry production is
about 80 crates per acre. His
company purchased last year from
a place in the Garden Tracts,
grapes which produced at the rate
of IL tons to the acre. This in
face of the fact that the average
grape production is but 2 IL tons
per acre.
Not only is the per acre tom
mage of all our products greater,
but the season is earlier and in no
other section of the country can
such quality be produced, accord
ing to Mr.. Fletcher.

HOME PRODUCT
BEING PUSHED
IN NORTHWEST
Intensive Sales Campaign Be-
ing Put on i'm Larger Gen.
tiers; Only Pure Fruit Drink
Now on the Market

The Church Grape Juice COM
pany is making an intensive sales
drive on their SC bottle in the
northwest market and if the re-
suits of this test campaign comes
up to expectations, it is planned to
launch national campaign to
popularize their grape juice.
While our own Columbia River
valley produces the finest Con-
cord grapes grown in the United
States for beverage purposes, lit
tie has been done in the past to
carry this message outside our
own community.
The fact that our vineyards pro-
duce yield nearly three times
greater per acre than the eastern
growers and that ours is the only
juice that can be bottled without
the addition of sugar, makes Ken
newick the ideal location for this
industry.
The figures of one nationally
known beverage in the SC class,
shows a consumption of three bill
lion drinks annually or total re-
tail volume of $4,000, 100000.
This is the first time in history
that an individual bottle of pure
grape juice has been offered the
consumer at SC. 1t can readily be
seen what a tremendous field this
offers to the grape grower for his
product and is an opportunity for
Kennewick to become indelible in
the minds of the entire United
States.
Grapes, dating back thousands
of years. in history, are one of the
oldest known fruits and up until
the time of the war, grape juice
was one of the most popular bev-
erages. In line with all other COM
modities, the price of grape juice
went up until it becomes a luxury
and disappeared from the tables of
all but the wealthy.
Now, Churchs. are establishing
a precedent in marketing an indi-
vidual bottle of pure, health-build-
ing grape juice that is actually so
percent below pre-war prices.
In view of this fact, it behoves
every man, woman and child in
Kennewick to get behind this pro-
duct and boost Kennewick grapes
to the sky. Write to your friends
in the northwest and tell them of
this wonderful bargain in health
building grape juice at &c. Dealers
should see that tourists carry home
the story of Kennewick and Church
Grape Juice.

THREE LOSE
LIVES IN FIRE
THIS MORNING
Franklin Boys Suffocate in
Bed When Blaze Destroys
Ranch Home in Horse Hea-
ven; Parents Barely Escape

Flames of undetermined origin
early today resulted in the deaths
of the three sons Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John K. Franklin, who live in the
Horse Heaven, 20 miles southeast
of here and caused property loss
estimated at $4,000 by neighbors.
The place was known as the Old
Fred Cresswell place, and is locat-
ed due south of Finley. The res
idence was two story, six room
home.
Franklin, who awakened to find
his home in flames, managed to
rouse his wife and escaped from
the house, although he suffered
facial burns. He made efforts to
awaken his sons, who were sleep
ing upstairs, but the whole upper
portion of the building was wrack-
ed by flames.
The bodies of the three sons,
Donald, %, Leroy, IA, and Lee
Grande, 8, were recovered from
the ruins of the RACED home this
morning by l. N. Mueller and Dep
uty Sheriff Charles Copeland. 6.
L. Powell, county coroner and DR.,
L. G. Spaulding also visited the
scene of the tragedy.
Helpless to aid their children,
Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin were fore
ed to walk three miles to the home
of the nearest neighbor, who brot
them to the city. They arrived here
about three o'clock. Franklin be-
lieved the fire must have started
at about IL o'clock. The parents
were awakened about one o'clock
in the morning and escaped from
the building clad in their night
clothes.
The fathers hands and face We're
both burned in his heroic attempts
in the smoke-filled building 20
arouse the members of his family.
He was reported to be near col
lapse from grief today.
The bodies of the three boys, it
was said, were recovered from the
remnants of their beds, where they
had apparently suffocated. They
were badly charred.
According to neighbors, Mrs.
Franklin declared there had been
no fires in the stoves when the
family retired, and the origin of
the fire is a mystery. Donald, the
latest to return home, went to bed
about 1890, she said.
The Franklins have lived in the
Horse Heaven and Hover for a
number of years. Franklin operat-
ed wheat ranch. The family has
many friends in Hover, Finley and
In Kennewick.
A daughter, verla May, Is, was
at the home of relative, Ben Es-
tep, in Kennewick. Neighbors said
the Franklins had intended TO take
her home last night, but through
some fortunate quirk of fate, did
not.
A second daughter, Miss Del
phia Franklin, 20, is said to be in
training at st. Mary's hospital in
Walla Walla.

DISTRICTS ARE.
IN SPLENDID
CONDITION
Local Projects Praised by N.
p. Agent; Should Stress our
Early Quality Products He
Tells Chamber

That the Columbia, Kennewick
and Pasco irrigation districts are
in splendid financial condition, and
that the Richland project soon
would be in the same shape was
the statement made by n. P.
Stapleton, director Of agriculture
for the Northern Pacific railroad
at the regular meeting of the Ken
newick Chamber of Commerce to-
day.
Mr.. Stapleton stated that of all
the projects with which he was
familiar, the local situation was
most favorable, and that the res
idents in this area should take adj
vantage of the features which
stress to a greater extent the
early crop seasons which obtain
here and tell the world about the
advantages offered by putting the
first fruits on the markets.
Mr.. Stapleton stated that if
half the knowledge concerning ir-
rigation projects which we now
have was available twenty years
ago, these early districts would
have by now achieved worldwide
fame and prosperity. He said he
was confident, from the negotia-
tions so far undertaken, that the
Richland Irrigation refinancing
would soon be completed when
that district would again become
the prosperous area which was in
the early days the promise.
In Mr.. Stapleton's opinion,
farming, which is now making the
turn to prosperity, has passed
thru its worst phase and the
brighter days are in sight for all
who engage in that industry.
The famous Kennewick Bing
cherries, of which there is an ex-
cellent crop this year, will be used
in various advertising projects.
The publicity committee of the
chamber was authorized to secure
a limited number of boxes to be
used for this purpose.

WRAY TELLS
HOW TO GROW
NEW BERRIES
Thousands of Seedlings Are
Brought to Fruit to Select
Parent for New Variety;
Experiment 20 Years

Thru the columns of your good
paper, wish to say few of the
things I might have said at the
strawberry festival. Writers, you
know, are born, not made.
For those who are interested in
learning how new varieties of
Strawberries are obtained, I will
say that they originate from seed.
Every Seeding is different and,
strange as it may seem one straw
berry will produce as many new
varieties are there are seeds in
the berry. This law holds true with
all fruits as well.
For instance, a peach with only
one seed, or pit, as it is commonly
called, produces only one tree,
and being Seeding it will be diff
ferent from the tree from which
it came and thus win be a new
variety. The work of the plant
breeder is to study and judge the
merits Of these new varieties and
destroy all that are not improve
ments, and needless to say 5000
are destroyed.
About 20 years ago my father
began growing Seeding strawber-
ries with the idea of finding a
heavier-prodncingl variety than the
Clark. The increased production
was easy to get, but the combina-
4ion of earliness, size, color, shape
and toughness of skin, shipping
qualities, foliage and growth and
hardness, along with heavy pro-
duction seemed impossible to find.
About $3.50 of all seedlings were
later than Clark. Big producers
were generally tasteless. Some
had everything desired in fruit but
the vines were unsatisfactory IN
some way. About 10000 seedlings
were brought into fruit and only
one saved. We have named it the
Wrayred. We think we have ey-
erything desired in a commercial
strawberry that will bring added
fame and fortune to Kennewick,
collectively and individually.
From the half acre We have, pick
ed over 800 crates to date, mostly
3x3, pack, and there are over 50
crates on the vines. For earliness
May Is, we picked 6 crates, thel7th
we got IL crates and the 18th 28
crates. AS for shipping qualities,
refer to the association and as for
flavor, / refer you to your own
palates.
And now in behalf of my father
who lives at White Salmon, ] thank
Kennewick sincerely for the hear
ty welcome you have given our
lucky efforts and may you have
may bigger and finer festivals IN
the years to come. Horace Wray.
