John Ellis of London, who during
% years as public hangman exc
cuted more than 200 criminals,
committed suicide by slashing his
throat with a razor. He retired in
1924 when his nerves began to fail
him and has since brooded over
the fact that he had sent to death
more men than any other living
man.

 That L. l. P. Gang,
 Gave a helping hand. A great biz big of Xmas cheer, Swept away many q lear, If our little gifts helped them
 Then ask you, "wasn't it
 worth while."
 
 fBy Tosfa striIcsanspares)
 Fifty L. I. P. Bowlers along with our friends and many others who contributed without being asked. helped to make over 100 tLithuan- Ian families happy. A great big bag containing everything for that Christmas dinner was given out and the many Thank You's and canning faces bespoke the appre- ciatiOn of every recipient
 The brickbats, knocks and criti- cisnis arc put on the shelf this the boys who actually deserve boost.
 Dan Stokes the big mushroom king brought his cows into the alleys and shouted, hey gang; how do you like Santa's reindeers. You can't fool us answered the boys and when they got through milk ing the cows there was plenty oi milk for those needy families n Dams bowling scores made him feel so elated that he also donated the necessary canned goods for the --nas bags. Live and let live tf Dams motto.
 sPop' Zubras put fin . phone call to Springfield = accidentally, the tires got crossed and Pop was con. necfcd with Hartford instead, tllc sweet voice at the other end be. came swccter, sweefef, and sweet. lest, 1t was honey this and honcy that and by the time Zubres finished the conversation, all the sweetness and honey crystalixcd into sugar and Pop had enough for every needy family's bag. (Yes, sir Pop i'm true Christmas style did 2 good job from tho sugar cnd). In addition to the above Zubras broke high single on the alleys with 15S down the naples to the tune ot zx0s 1t hS hhsVEC OhOo0Gn " 8bNO thHssh to receive but Pop Is satisfied bOth ways.
 "Daddy. John Mendel and Sleepy" Joe Yanavich (Joe show ed up just in time for the third game) got into ar. argument over the merits of their respective bowl ing teams and started to toss loaves c- bread at each other. the rest Oi the boys stepped in between and caught enough of the flying loavos to supply every bag with one or more loaf. Many thanks for the bread, boys.
 The mystery is solved, Doctor Stancslow was among the missing for two wceks-Hc came fin last week with q tan, a real sunny Cali. fOrnia one, and that wasn't all Doc dOnned Overalls and luggcd in enough crates of oranges to supply every bag. If that isn't furnishing the vitamins, then don't know my alphabet, incidentally Doc hit 11s and the second game which Is do. ing two good deeds in ono night both of which were greatly apprc. ciatcd, the oranges by those needy families, and that 1f2 score whlci helped his team win the game.

King Davids Go To
Asiatic Markets

Included in one of the White Bluffs
Warehouse companys cars of fruit to
Seattle this week were $50 boxes of
King David apples One hundred boxes
were for export to Calcutta, India, and
the other one hundred and fifty boxes
to Hongkong, China. The White Bluffs
Warehouse expects to ship full car
of this variety of apples the latter part
of next week for export to England.
This will about clean up the King
Davids, as the number of bearing trees
in this valley is rather limited. Except
for few odd lots, all of the King
Davids that will be shipped this year
will come from the NOVEL; orchard
north of town. The apples were pur-
chased by the White Bluffs Warehouse
on the basis of 80 cents per box,

Open River
Being Urged
On Congress
RIVER TRANSPORTATION ON COL
UNIBIA AND SNAKE is OBJECT
OF NEW ORGANIZATION

Captain Arthur Ward, representing
the Western Inland Waterways Cor
poration of Lewiston, Idaho, was in
the valley Tuesday and during his
stay here spent several hours at Priest
Rapids.
The Western Inland Waterways Cor
poration was formed for the purpose Of
securing government appropriations
for the opening of the Columbia and
Snake rivers for water transportation.
The organization is particularly inter-
ested in the improvement of that part
of the Columbia from tide water to
the mouth of the Snake and up the
latter to Lewiston, but is willing to as
sist other communities on the Column
bia above Wallula.
Through the efforts of Congressman
Summers of Washington and Senator
Stiewer of Oregon, bills were intro
duced in both the House and Senate
in the last Congress. The bills were
referred to committees in both houses
who asked the War Department en-
gineerS for a review Of previous sur
veys and report based on present
conditions. These engineers reported
that further improvement of the Col
umbia between Cello Falls and Wal
lula appears to be justified but we do
not consider it advisable for the United
States or local interests to invest in
additional navigation facilities for the
Columbia river above Wallula and the
Snake river below Lewiston, until re-
suits have been obtained on the Col
umbia below Wallula.'
Mr.. Ward said his organization was
primarily interested in water trans
portation and not in the power devel-
opments urged by other organizations
The necessary appropriations, there
fore, would be comparatively small. He
was interested in seeing what difficult
ties might be encountered in the build
ing of locks at Priest Rapids in the
event an effort was made to open the
Columbia for water transportation
from tide water up to at least as far
as Wenatchee.
In the event of such an improve
ment, the building and enlargement of
the power canal and locks at Priest
Rapids, Captain Ward said, could be
undertaken jointly by the irrigation
district and the government at a ma
terial saving to both.

District Directors Pass
On Exclusion Petitions

In ruling on the Is petitions for ex-
clusion of land from the Priest Rapids
Irrigation district, the district board,
at it's meeting Tuesday evening, al
lowed the petitions of r. w. Eastland,
Matyas Fekete, Pat Healy, John w.
Larsen, Martin Paroz and Joseph j.
Derigio; denied those of H. H
Boie, George w. Clark, Joseph j. De-
rigio, administrator; j. H. Greutz-
macher, John Loson, Robert w. Mac
Donell, D. E. Malone, Martin F.
O'Brien and Theo. A. Spratlen, and
continued until the September 9th
meeting the petitions of Bert Riegle
and j. F. Conkle.
The petition of Ernest P. Koontz,
which was advertised with the other
II, was withdrawn before the hearing.
The original hearing was held on
August but that meeting was con-
tinued until August Is to give those
who might care to do so, an oppor-
tunity to appear before the board and
offer additional evidence in support of
their petitions.
In passing on these petitions the
district board applied the same rules
that were used at hearings last year
and which were approved in the recent
decision of the state Supreme Court.

Home Club Loses to Yakima
Team by Score of Z to 9

Although they outhit their oppon-
ents 16 to IS, the Priest Rapids Valley
ball club was less successful in con-
verting it's hits into runs and dropped
the decision on it's own grounds last
Sunday to the American Fruit Grow
ers club of Yakima by score of Z to 9
The contest was close one and the
final outcome in doubt until the las
man was out in the ninth.
The visitors were the first to score
counting twice on three hits in the
fourth inning. The home club came
right back with two runs to tie the
count in the last half of the same
inning. Neither club saw home plate
in the fifth but in the sixth the visi-
tors ran up their count to four an6
they scored one more in the seventh
another in the eighth and three in
the ninth. The home club got three
runs in the seventh and two in the
ninth and had the tying runs on bases
when the last out was made.
Herb Cords was in the box for the
Priest Rapids club during the first
four innings and Joe Wagner worked
the last five. Julius Ross, hurler for
the Fruit Growers, complained of a
sore arm but had few opportunities
during the game to coast and was a
pretty tired ball player when the con-
test was over.
The home club collected three home
runs in the game, two by Joe DeRigio
and one by Joe Wagner. BY rather
odd coincident there was one runner
on the paths when each of the cir
cult drives were made.
The Priest Rapids club is showing
steady improvement in these post sea-
son games, fielding more cleanly and
hitting more consistently
Two more post season games had
been scheduled but Benton City sent
word the first of the week that it
would be impossible to keep their date
next Sunday and after trying vainly
to find some club that had not dis
banded, Manager Hughie Young gave
up and says there will be no game
next Sunday and probably no more
this season.

Rome Beauty Apple
Born A Democrat

The following amusing story, clipped
from the Packer of August 6, gives
the history of the Rome Beauty apple,
as told in the House of Representa-
tives:
The Rome Beauty, famed apple, is a
Democratic bud sport, according to no
less an authority than Congressman
The story of the Rome Beauty was
told some time ago in Congress during
the course of a debate over proposal
by Congressman Summers, of Wash
ington, asking $15000,000 for a study
of bud sports Mr.. jenkins said:
II want to tell you little story, a
true story, which may soften the
hearts of our good Democratic friends
who are opposing this amendment.
"The Rome Beauty apple originated
in Rome township, Lawrence county,
Ohio. An old gentleman, a Mr.. Gill
lette, was an apple raiser of consid-
cradle reputation. One day he received
shipment of nursery stock, and when
he sorted it out he found small
crooked apple tree in the group.
This old gentleman was rank
partisan Republican. He threw this
little crooked apple tree to his boy and
said, Lad, you can have that tree.
That is a little Democrat tree
"fThe lad took that little Democrat
tree and planted it, and from that
LITTLE nnrnnnYot fnp ~.
derful Rome Beauty apple. This story
Is true. The tree grew near the pres
ent site of the Lawrence county fair
grounds, and monument has been
erected on the fair grounds to COM
memorate this famous tree The Rome
Beauty apple is generally considered
to be the best general purpose apple"
The above speech is preserved in the
Congressional Record
