BOAT RACES
TO BE FEATURE
OFTHEFOURTH
Speed Boats to Put on Races
at Snake River; Drivers to
Take Gate for Prizes; Many
Agree to Come

Hopes were renewed today for
a July A celebration when it was
learned from o. S. Carey, Kenne-
wick boat enthusiast, that the Ken
newick and Pasco boat clubs are
now completing plans for one Of
the most spectacular regattas
ever attempted here.
According to Carey, some Of the
most prominent cupboard motor
boat racers in the Northwest are
to compete. Lawrence Rickert Of
Spokane has arranged to be among
the entrants. Rickert is the hold
er of many prizes and is said to
have boats that will split the wa
ter at a 50-mile clip. Other driv-
ers from Spokane, Seattle, Pendle-
ton and Lewiston are expected.
The present plans call for a
heat in the forenoon and another
in the afternoon. 1t is likely the
races will be staged at the mouth
of the Snake River, as the water
is calmer there and more adapted
to speed contests.
In addition to the regular rae
ing there is the promise of fast
spills, surf board riders, and the
roar of high speed motors, as the
drivers vie their skill and worth
of their engines against one an
other, to be the first to pass the
finish line buoys.
A committee from the Chamber
of Commerce was appointed this
noon to lend assistance to the
movement. Burns Brown was nam.
ed chairman of the committee
whose other members are Elmer
Olson, C. HI. Eakin and Ray Stew.
ems. The Chamber voted to endorse
the program and viii send official
invitation to prospective partici-
pants.

STATE TO Take
BONDS TOPAY
DITCH REPAIRS
Special Election July 2 to
Authorize Issue; to Hold
Mass Meeting to- Explain
the Proposition.

Some confusion seems to exist
regarding the bond election to be
held July 2 to authorize an issue
of $4,000 against the Columbia
Irrigation District.
The money is to be borrowed
from the reclamation revolving
fund of the state and is to be as
sessed to the property owners un-
der the ditch. The annual per acre
charge will amount to about IL
cents, according to Bartholet, SUI
perintendent of hydraulics of the
Department of Conservation and
Development, who came over to in
vestigate the situation at the time
of the break in the canal.
z Due to the fact that the dis
trict had no money other than their
operation expenses, it became i'm
perative that the expense of MAX
ing the repairs be taken care Of
from some other source. An agree
ment was made with the state to
handle the loan from its irrigation
fund, spreading the repayment
over a ten-year period, at an in
terest rate of but one percent. Au-
thority for this action on the part
Of the district is what the election
is all about.
Full details as to the polling
places, the time of the election and
80 on are printed in another coll
umn Of this paper.
The cost of making the repairs
on the ditch will not amount to the
$751; being called for in the
election. Tentative figures indicate
that the work will cast under ten
thousand dollars but to play safe
at the time the notice had to be
first published, the larger figures
were given. ALI in excess of the
requirments for the repair work
will be applied at once toward re-
firing the bond issue. Thus, in the
neighborhood of $1,000 worth of
the bonds will be Immediately TAX
en up, following their authorize
ton at the election.
A mass meeting has been called
for next Wednesday evening at
the Valley clubhouse for the pur-
pose Of explaining matters con-
corning the bond election. All
property owners interested are at
liberty to attend.

iety has proven a profitable crop
N this early section, coming on the
market SO much earlier than from
other districts.
The cherry season has about
closed, the Bings being about all
on their way to the consumers, and
the late Lamberts being about the
only remaining variety. This crop
Will see its windup for the year the
last of this week. For the past

J ers report a fine yield, and in spite
Of the injury received to older
trees in the big freeze couple of
years ago, the new paintings conf
ing into bearing this year have
caused the tonnage to about equal
our normal.
New spuds are being shipped in
car lots. Owing to the ditch break
this crop suffered somewhat in
their development and the tonnage
has been cut down. The price be-
ing received, while not up to what
the local product has brought in
former years, is considered fair.
The apple crop, spotted thruout
the district, will total considerably
under the normal tonnage, though
several growers report excellent
crops. Pears have set well and the
price indications are that this will
prove a profitable crop for the
district this year.

BALL TEAM rs
TIED AT TOP
Sunday Win Makes Sway
Knot; Play at Pasco
This Sunday

The Kennewick ball team, by its
16 to i victory over the league
leaders last Sunday at Goldendale
has run into a three place tie for
the first place. Toppenish, by its
win has maintained its position at
the top.
The game Sunday was witness
ed by q fair crowd from Kenne-
wick, who made the pleasant trip
over the hills to the wheat cen
ter. The game was too one-sided to
be particularly interesting as a
ball game, but the Kennewick fans
took great deal of pleasure in
seeing the cocky Goldendale team
take such q drubbing.
Goldendale had lost the game
before the umpire called play
ball" due to the fact that their
pitching ace was in Seattle for a
tryout with the coast league, while
the Kennewick team was con" and
could have taken the game in any
event.
Next Sunday we play Pasco.
While the game was scheduled as
a Kennewick game, due to the
condition Of the grounds, it will
be played in Pasco. The Kenne-
wick tickets will be accepted.
The ball team is running short
of finances and is sponsoring q
dance at the Highlands club house
Saturday evening. They will ap-
preciate a big crowd, for the team
has finally hit its stride and they
need encouragement.

xxTINSTON SALEM, N. c.,
w Aug. 12.-The sluggish Yad-
kin river, where they're gigg1ng
frogs now and getting catfish and
bullheads, is providing Alb Walker
with one escape from the Brutus
charge which county grand jury
has brought against him.
If the stain of completely In
murder is upon his conscience,
then the. closest friend OF the late
Smith Reynolds is a consummate
amateur performer, worthy to be
cast as a juvenile heavy" with
Broadway's glamorous Libby Hol-
man.
Walker, while seeking diversion,
is facing the townfolk of his birth
place; walking in the open and
adopting a casual department that
can not be termed defiance, al
though there is reason to believe
that, even if complete exoneratlon
follows the forthcoming trial, he
will journey elsewhere for several
years.
He has appeared at the movie
theaters-laughed at a comedy on
the evening of his release on bail;
he has drifted in and out Of his
club, playing pool T n his fell
lows; he has flown and played golf
and attended church OF Sunday
mornings with his devout parents.
The strain existing is limited
rather than revealed.

II magnetic capacity for max
ing friends, long has been adj
mitted one of the more expert

countryside grow adept at the art

to it as an engagement with COM
partnership as it's chief purpose.
And as the time for his trial
slowly draws nearer, Alb continues
going to the picture shows, his
clubs, the frog-ponds, and his
friends refrain from discussing
with him the subject that is on
every tongue for miles around.
