PICK AND PACK
SOLID CARLOAD
IN ONE DAY
Williams Tract Establishes 4
Record for u. s.; Hopes to
Double it This Week; Loss
is $1,000 Daily

A record, said to be unequalled
in the United States, was made by
Wallace Williams this week with
his twenty-acre cherry orchard on
the Highlands. His crew picked,
sorted, packed, loaded, shipped and
sold solid carload of cherries in
one day. Mr.. Williams stated that
the price received was satisfac-
tory.
Owing to the big loss sustained
on the Williams ranch this week
thru lack of water, but half the
facilities on the ranch Were used
in securing the above record. I'm
der normal conditions, with plen-
ty of irrigation water available to
cause the cherries to ripen more
evenly and secure a greater size,
Mr.. Williams thinks that double
the above quantity could have been
obtained. He even hopes to be able
to get two cars a day out this
week.
Lack of the water is causing a
loss conservatively estimated at a
thousand dollars a day on the Will
liams place alone, he stated.
The crop of most Importance
being severely injured by the lack
of water is the new spuds. Except
in case where grower has an
auxiliary supply of water, grow
ers are being compelled to dig
their spuds before they have ma
tured. The cherry crop, whic h
promised so well just prior to the
break is the next most important
crop to be injured.
Among cherry growers whose
productions have not come up to
promise are the Green Bros. on the
Highlands, who estimates his loss
at about $1,000. o. T. Staley and
Mayor Anon, who have cherry
trees in the Garden Tracts, I've
been attempting to fresheL up
their trees from the city system.
This, of necessity, has been limit
ed in amounts available, and both
figure on substantial losses.
Mr.. Williams this evening stat
ed that today his crew had actual
ly made the two-car record he had
hoped for.

BULGE PUNCTURED
SIS So 80
REMEMBERS 25 YRS.


The old days when Kennewick
was just emerging from one Of
the typical old Western towns,
when wide-brimmed Stetsons, high
heeled boots, and hip hardware
were considered necessary to make
the well dressed man, were recall
ed Tuesday afternoon at the fair
grounds by Alex Mcneil, who serv-
ed as sheriff in 1906.
Alex is Benton county's original
democrat, and while he has drop
ped out Of politics of recent years,
he still takes an active interest in
his party affairs, so was present
at the rally Tuesday. Twenty-Five
years ago Alex was sheriff and
he was looking for a band of rob
beers down there when one of the
suspects took a pot shot at him.
Alex then, as now, curved out in
front and the bullet tore thru the
tip of the bulge. A battle ensued,
which resulted in four deaths and
the trees behind which the band
its hid are still an object of inter-
est to the old peace guardian.

COUNTY TO PUT
$4,000 BACK IN
CIRCULATION
Current Cashing of Warrants
Brings Total for Year Up
to 100000; Districts Are
in Better Shape

Eighty-five thousand dollars
worth Of Benton County warrants
will cease to bear interest next
Saturday, according to an an
nouncement made this week by
Louis P. Kelly, deputy treasurer.
School and irrigation district war
rants are also included in the call.
The call will increase the total
of warrants retired since the first
of the year to 100000, Kelly said.
Finances of the county are in good
condition, he said, and several
school and irrigation districts have
returned to the cash basis in the
last month.
"The financial condition of Ben
ton county is much better than it
was last year at this time," Kelly
said. "This is not wholly due to
the tax collections, but because
districts have stressed economy
and have made reductions where
they were possible"
Warrants are being retired fast
er than they are issued, he said.
All districts operated on cash
basis until this year, as the treas
urer's office paid warrants from
the surplus to keep the districts
from being forced to pay interest.

FAIR BOARD
ASKS HELP OF
BUSINESSMEN
More Financial Aid Is Needed
to Put Community Show in
the Clear Again; Consider
Additional Day

That the businessmen should
get behind the work of putting on
the annual fair with more support
and enthusiasm, was urged upon
the Chamber of Commerce this
noon by E. C. Durdle, secretary Of
the fair association.
Feeling that the annual fall fes-
tival was an institution of mutual
benefit, and one from which both
farmers and businessmen could re-
ceive benefits, members of the fair
board were of the opinion that the
businessmen should contribute to
a somewhat greater extent to the
business of conducting the fair
this year. A committee composed
of both businessmen and farmers
has been selected to ask the mer-
c hants for donations shortly.
Heretofore the only expense they
have been called upon for has
been that of publishing the pre-
MUM list.
Last years fair came out of a
couple of hundred dollars in the
hole. That is, the association was
unable to pay it's bills, but the
permanent improvements made
were far more than the total
still owing. A check of the ma
terial assets of the association
shows a total of about thirty-five
hundred dollars, while there is
only couple of hundred still to be
paid, part of which expense is for
the accident which occurred on the
last day.
Completion of arrangements for
the final purchase of the grounds
is also part of this years plans.
This work must be done before the
port officials are permitted to
make any expenditures which
might prove advantageous to the
fair.
The committee in charge of the
solicitation will be active the
early part of the week and COR
dial reception is expected from all
who are interviewed.

Its the Nerts!"

She's tough lifei For the past
two weeks we've been importuned
to "give 'em hell, about the ditch,
politics and religion. About an
equal number of partisans have
approached the editor on the 9TH
er side. Ser Hevings sakes, lay
off," What to do-what to do?
Now comes a flock of the young
er democrats. They see the "first
run" of the paper in which we
make a facetious remark about
their parade. "It's the nerts' they
cry and bring up what they claim
is the original telegram filed for
the outside dailies to prove their
case. sTany rate, they seem to be
in the clear. The telegram didn't
report that Hundreds of people
paraded the streets of Kennewick
in the broiling sum-" even tho the
dailies did have it that way.

Street Commissioner Gus Henke
said today that all irrigation water
users in the city are to be. asked
to do their watering during the
morning and afternoon, and dur
ing the evening until about 8 o.
clock. Henke said this system to
be used for short time, will give
the citizens better chance to
catch up on their irrigation sched-
ule, as he intends to put his crew
to work after 3 pm. on turning
water into the parking strips thru
out the city. This system will give
each person more time to water
their gardens and lawns.

KIDS
ATTEND CAMP
AT PULLMAN
State Gathering of All Club
Members Proves Profitable
Session in Opinion of the
Local Delegates

Twenty All club members Of
Benton county returned MondaY
night from Pullman where they
had spent five days on the campus
of the state college at the 18th
annual club camp.
1t is hard to convey picture
of this camp to anyone who has not
visited the campus while the 900
boys and girls from all parts of
the state are there, states Mrs.
Mary Davis, who accompanied the
group. Attendance at classes (four
on each of three days) supervised
recreation on Rogers field, songs,
stunts, and yell contests between
counties, a style show and inspi-
rational, educational and humor-
Gus programs in the college audi
torium, all go to make up week
never to be forgotten.
The privilege of attending camp
comes as a reward for All work
well done and it is. the general
rule in Benton county to send one
or two delegates from a club
these delegates to be at least 10
years of age and to have success
fully completed one year of club
work. Usually the clubs raise one
half of the expenses and the del
egate the other half.
The honor and privilege of at
tending camp means so much to
these delegates that they are will
work hard to bear their half
of the expenses wedding onions,
picking strawberries, asparagus
and peas, ushering in theatre,
cleaning house, collecting and SELL
ing sacks and empty salad jars
which these boys and girls were
happy to do in order to earn their
$5.35, which was their share of
the expenses.
The 20 boys and girls were a
decided credit to Benton county.
They behaved like the energetic
ladies and gentlemen which they
are and won first place in the song
contest, with song written by
Ward Fyfe of Walnut Grove COM
munity. Ward belongs to orch
ard club of the Walnut Grove vi
cinity, led by P, P. Black. In addi-
tion to the honor of winning the
song contest, Lois Brue, Kenne-
wick, brought further honor to the
county by placing second in the
cotton dress division of the style
show.

showed where users of this serv-
ice could save much money.
The state public works depart
menet was scored by Martin very
strongly, and urged placing tax
burdens on the shoulders of those
who are better able to pay.
Martin commented favorably on
the Grange income tax bill and de-
clared that real property tax Of
