TAX MIDDLE is
TIED up AGAIN
G&GNg NelS e

Hopes of securing the Mp. tax
payments this month were sent
glimmering yesterday when 2
group of the unemployed in Sc
attic brought the settlement to 9
standstill BY threatened suit
against the payment.
Headed by N. C. Mann, the COM
mittee sought to intervene on the
grounds that the county commits
sioners did not have the legal
right to arbitrate taxes. The case
was thrown out Of court, but they
have indicated that they will APP
peal, in which case settlement will
be delayed for at least another 80
days.
"We thought we should have
the money for distribution to the
various counties this month"; said
County Commissioner III. s.
Hughes today. "The money would
have relieved the warrant situa-
tion to very large extent in this
county at the present time" he
said.
While, Of course the present
basis of settlement is advantage

,G&g& gEgN @&G

The early potato markets Of the
Northwest market centers were
from twenty-five to fifty cents
higher than any other markets On
early potatoes during the time Of
the early potato delivery last
summer, according to HI. E. Dro-
bish. For two years Mr.. Drobish
has been telling early potato grow
ers of this section that they had
a unique situation in the early po-
tato dea. as related to the North
west markets, because Of our earli-
ness and our proximity to the mar
ket.
Last year through decrease in
yield because of water shortage
and quality of seed in many cases,
and decreased acreage, there was
produced in this area a slight
shortage of early potatoes to that
our markets were above other
markets at the time. If this situa-
ton could be logically worked out
by growers together ahead Of time
or even by growers getting togeth-
er at market time and shipping
the surplus to outside markets
each year might bring what last
year brought in the way Of a fay
orable market.

ESTABLISH NEW
CHARITY BASIS

Those charged with the serious
duty of administering relief in this
community have endeavored to do
away with charity as it is usually
construed; that is, giving some
thing for nothing and thereby
causing people to lose their self
respect. A program which provides
work and opportunity to earn the
necessities of life for themselves
and families is the committees
idea of helping those who need as
sistance. This program obviously
is not intended to refuse relief 20
the sick and those unable to work.
If this community is to avoid
death and suffering it win be nee
essary for everyone making up .
part of it to do his or her part.
The public's part consists not only
of making various contributions
but also of reporting cases OF suf-
fering. If any casualty comes from
lack of necessities in this commun-
ity it win be from the ranks Of the
proud, silent sufferers.
1t is hoped no one viii neglect
to report suffering and no one
needing aid viii refuse to accept

EVERYBODY HAS
AUCTION MONEY
.G3G@g&g&g&@SS

More than three hundred arsl-.
cles were auctioned off this (Wed-
nesday) afternoon at the last OF the
Winters Good Will Auction days,
and people from all parts OF the
county were present to participate
IN the merchants distribution OF
prizes.
On account of the weather the
sale was held out of doors again,
and much good-natured rivalry was
evidenced among those in attend
ance. The prices brought by the
various articles were much high
er than previously, for everyone
realized that the little green scrip
would have no value after today.
Nearly everyone, however,
pinched off few two-bit pieces in
order that they might attend the
special show which is sponsored
by the merchants committee. The
show is well filled at the time of
going to press this afternoon, al
tho quite large number, of
course, are children who were adj
mitted free.
The show is screen adoption
Of the famous comic strip. ALittle
Orphan Annie" and features Nit
ii Green. The show is an excellent
one, it is said, and the other num-
bers on the program are equally
good. An effort will be made, it is
understood, to have the show OPP
Grated on the same basis at least
once month during the winter
months.
The largest item on the list is
still without an owner. The bid
ding got so fast and the amounts
SO large that the tellers haven't
finished counting yet. The box con-
tanning the largest amount will de-
termine the ownership.
The merchants hope that their
customers will appreciate the idea
behind these auction, that it is
an expression of appreciation for
their patronage and they hope that
everyone succeeded in securing at
least one Of the items provided.

DON IT NEGLECT
YOUR PRUNING
gegNeg&g eegN@E

If one has any faith at all in
the future Of the apple industry
one cannot consider neglecting the
pruning work this year, according
to G. Z. Vincent, extension horti-
culturist. Yields of fruit are now
spoken of so many boxes of extra
fancy and fancy rather than the
total production. If the next two
years continue as has the present
season, growers must get away
from &c" grades and pruning is
one Of the best means of elimina-
ton of this low grade.
Il the next year is to be the
neavy year in fruit production then
pruning can be speeded up during
this pruning season. But on the
eontrary If next year is the light
crop year one should do as little
pruning as one can get away with.
mr.. vincent stressed particularly
e some Of the older apple trees
which has now been stressed for
tnis year in this county. First the
aeed OF detail pruning on those
uees that have become so heavily
spnrred up and yet are not bear
ing good crop. He also empha-
sl.ed the need of a tree spacing
Mogram in any orchard where
acre is any tendency to crowding.
lee spacing will never pay any
SsHer dividends than it will right
wv m many orchards it will pay
SOD dividends.
Pruning demonstration meetings
nsle conducted over most of the
s.unty and included work on cher
.s' prunes, peaches, apricots, as
rs su as the various varieties of ap-
pes. Mr.. Vincent has been in
s s.ucsor in horticulture at the
Ss.ee College for some 13 years
-. certainly presented the sub
=. matter in a clear-cut and very
''rceful way. 80 -

THAW lessons
ICE JAM THREAT
g&g&gkeg N@ 81

Danger from the huge ice pack
that has been threatening three
highway spans across the Yakima
river for week, and flooding
much farmland, was said to be,
|slackening today.
Highway Supervisor, James
4. Maxwell said early this week
that at the beginning Of the thaw,
he had special crews on watch
night and day, guarding the
steel Fallon bridge, and the twin
wood steel spans at Grosscup,
above Richland in the event that
the gigantic ice jam should let go
with crash and carry bridges
and farm property before it.
--latest reports from the stricken
section said the condition was
gradually becoming better and that
the ice wan melting gradually, let
ting flood waters flow off slowly
down the main channels Of the
Yakima.
Several families in the stricken
area had made full preparations
to flee from their homes, as the
ice jamming in the river had fore.
led waters to within a few feet Of
the doors.
Signs of relief were heard from
them when the chinook winds
started to erase the ice packs gent
lily enough to allow waters to es-
lcape without further damage.
Although the damage already
caused by the jams will be heavy,
no estimate has yet been made.
One of the heaviest losses so far
reported has been H. B. Terril, who
reported the loss of Is stands OF
honey bees. Terril said this loss
will amount well over q $1,000.
Numerous motorists from the
Kennewick-Pasco regions motored
Ito the scene of the spectacle to wit
ness the splendor and wild beauty
wrought by Old Man Winter.

NEW YORK. June 3.-The stock
market today staged deliberate but
Impressive recovery
There were periods of hesitation and
OF realizing, one of which came toward
the close so that final quotations were
substantially under the best, but volume
always fell off on the reaction and
the market was most active on the
advance.
The street interpreted favorably a
provision in the tax bill as reported
TO the House putting the inpost on
sales OF electricity on the consumer
and the public utilities were strongest
a1ter that news was made public.
American Telephone was heavy in the
last hour and many industrials came
down from their highs
The 1arket opened higher, gained
momentum as the day went on and
stimulated feeling of optimism long
wanting in Wall Street The reason
1or the turnabout was not obvious in
business developments. For that reason
II was looked on with skepticism bv a
certain element, arguing that there has
Deen no change in industry to warrant
recovery in stocks. They added that
the improvement was artificial" and
could not be justified. They overlooked.
however, that much of the depression
IN the outside world had been due to
the spectacle of continuously declin-
ing security market.
PROBABLY what encouraged buyinp
more than anything else was the belief
that the bond pool" was about to be-
gin TO work, if it had not already done
So The advance in bonds was looked
on as showing the way to stocks.
Short covering went on in a large
scale, accompanied by new buying.
More important was the evident relief
from lquidating pressure which had
weighed down SO heavily in recent ses-
sions. While there were minor reac-
tions during the morning and periods
OF hesitation, volume was largest on the
recovery.
