Evans Says Keep
Commissaries Out OF
Hands OF Racketeers

Don H. Evans, Republican nominee
for county commissioner to succeed
himself, opened the major offensive
Of his campaign this week with 6
series of public addresses and radio
talks.
Evans is concentrating his attention
on the necessity of keeping the COM
missary system of relief out of the
hands Of eXploiters and racketeers and
of supporting the bond issues for a
work program for the unemployed.
ION November 8 this county must
make some decisions that are more
vital than have been called for in
many years." he declared before sew
eral groups recently 1.-THE voters must
do more than decide between indi-
viduals. They must decide between
systems and programs. They must
decide whether they want the COM
missarles to continue indefinitely or
II they shall be closed with jobs for
the unemployed instead of the dole
I am convinced that few men prefer
to live on charity If they have an OPP
portunity to earn living, I urge the
voters to support the bond issues for
refunding county warrants and fl
nancing work program to put those
who want jobs to work and close the
commissaries to the others.
"In its choice of county commits
sloners, the county will decide the
manner in which the commissaries
will be handled for such time as they
must be continued, My opponent pub
licly promises to return the radical
element of the unemployed to power
in these commissaries. have de-
clared that as long as am county
commissioner, the distribution of food
will be overseen by county agents. I
promise the unemployed nothing be-
yond fair and just distribution of
rations. AS long as these commissaries
continue I shall insist that they be
operated as economically as possible
and that the unemployed share alike
I sincerely hope that the commissaries
will not be necessary for long.
II do not believe that the effort to
saddle onto all the unemployed the
opinions of small group will succeed.
I believe that every man, with or
without job will retain his constitu-
tional right to vote as he chooses. 1
do not believe that many will choose
to turn King County management
over to the racketeers"

go, when there are so many Of the
other kind around who wouldn't be
missed

CAN Dor ROW
ON WATER NOW
Federal Money Now Can
be Used for Irrigation
Payments

Money borrowed from the feder-
al farm loan corporation may be
used -part at least-for water
payments, as a result of confer
ence held this week by E. C. Dur
die and Mr.. Powers of the Spokane
branch of the loan corporation.
Until this time, none Of the loan
money could be used for the pay
ment Of water, but in this section,
where conditions are different from
the unirrigated sections, separate
arrangements were made neces-
sary. While the amount to be used
for water payments is limited to
three dollars per acre, this amount
may be added to the $25 limit in
cases where the farmer has diver
sified crops.
Mr.. Durdle has complete infor-
nation in regard to the loans and
application blanks are obtainable
at his office. So far, he says, not
a great deal Of money has been
loaned ii this area, tho the money
is obtainable to those who proper
" comply with the requirements
Of the loan corporation.

Politician Peters

Kennewick is fortunate in having
as the secretary Of its chamber of
commerce the genial George ID.
Peter, pioneer rancher of the dis
trict, who has already been able
to obtain much advantageous pub
licity for the district he represents.
He boosts for it as the "New irri-
gated lands having the earliest
cropping season in the Northwest
and speaks so eloquently of its as
paragus and Strawberries as to
make ones mouth fairly drip with
saliva. For some time Peters had
the undisputed control of the en-
tire negro vote of Benton coun-
ty. He brought the first colored
man, as family servant, into the
county and the negro for a con-
siderable time was the sole repre-
sentative of his race on the CEN
sus records. Peters, of Democratic
persuasion, was often joyially ask
ed to deliver the negro vote-and
could do it in a one horse shay.

HERMISTON rs
FIRST VICTIM
Opening Game of Base
Ball Season Here
Next Sunday

The big wind which did rela-
lively little damage on this side
of the river, almost ruined tn e
Pasco baseball diamond, blew down
the fence and part of the grand
stand, and as a result the first
game Of the season will be played
with Hermiston, as the Pasco boys
have been unable to practice.
The game will be played next
Sunday on the Kennewick grounds.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for an eight-team league.
Goldendale has entered again this
year and Prosser has been signed
up. The first league game of the
season opens in Kennewick with
the locals against Mabton on April
II. Practice games will be played
in the meantime.
The management of the team
has had ready response to the adj
vance ticket sale and the money to
start operations has been raised in
this manner, rather than in the
usual donations from the business
men.

seemed necessary under individual
selling, according to Mr.. Lampson.

against DR.. H. Jackson Capell,
who is being sued for $4,000
damages by Mrs. Oliver, who un-
derwent a blood TRANSMISSION in an
attempt to save the life of her
husband.
Mrs. Oliver claims permanent
damages to her arm on account of
the seyering of nerve in making
the incision. DR.. Capell claims that
repeated examinations by special
lists indicate that the damage is
more the result of hysteria than
actual. The case will come before

EYES OF STATE
TURN TOWARD
KENNEWICK
This Valley Receives Recog-
milton at Least Hurt by
General Conditions; Pug
licity Functions

Kennewick is receiving much
favorable publicity in all sections
of the Pacific Northwest, it was
reported at the Chamber Of Com
merce luncheon this noon. The
publicity committee is functioning
as never before and from all parts
of the state comes the pleasing
news that "Kennewick is the
bright spot in the entire North
west" The first shipments OF
Kennewick famous asparagus and
the excellent prospects for boun-
tiful fruit crop, coupled with the
reclamation activities is giving
this section standing enjoyed by
no other agricultural community
in the west.
A travelling man, whose route
takes him into all sections Of the
Northwest, stated that he had
heard the name Kennewick more
often in the various towns he had
visited than all the other names
put together and all comments
were of a most favorable nature.
Partly as a result Of this public
ity, and partly from the direct adj
vertising campaign now being car
ried on, a great many inquiries
are being received relative to the
possibilities of securing farms and
homes in this locality. A general
migration from the middle and
eastern states has started and
Kennewick is receiving more than
its share of inquiries. George d.
Peters, secretary, was given cred
it for obtaining much of the pub
licity thru the newspapers of the
state.
Businessmen generally were urg-
ed to attend the business institute
to be conducted by the state col
lege professors at Pasco Tuesday
afternoon and evening. The regu-
lar meeting Of the Kiwanis club
will be held jointly with the Pasco
club at the luncheon which opens
the institute.

EXPECT CARS
OF GRASS TO
START SOON
Heavy Cutting to Start in
Rush with Advent of Warm
Days; Season is 10 Days
Late This Year

Monday morning saw the first
of Kennewick's famous early crops
start to market, when ]. p. Miller,
just south of Kennewick brought
in two. crates of Kennewick Long
Green Asparagus, while shipment
of another crate was made from
Richland the same day.
The first crates were sold for
three dollars for the twelve-pound
crates two of which went to Yak
ina and the other to the coast. The
season is about 10 days later than
normal.
With a continuation of warm
weather carload shipments are ex-
pected to start Sunday or Monday.
Inquiries from the Eastern market
indicate that the price levels are
expected to be not much lower
than in former years, tho it is rea-
sonable to expect a lowered sea-
sonal average on account Of the
general financial situation.
With the former acreage 85 to
100 carloads was a reasonable sea-
sons carlot total. With the addi-
tional acreage which has been
planted in the last two years, a
substantial increase in that total
is expected this year, provided the
season remains normal.
A very rapid increase in cut
ting is expected once the weather
warns up, as the slow spring and
unusual amount of moisture in the
ground has provided an unusually
good basis for the crop, the crowns
on some of the patches showing
as high as 40 sprouts each.

Dollar Buys More

A dollar will purchase from
three to four times as much at a
grocery store today as it would in
1918, according to a window dis
play at Neuman's store this week.
Running across a price list he had
in 1918, Mr.. Neuman arranged a
window containing the articles
mentioned. A bill amounting to
over $45 at that time can now be
purchased for about $11.50. Even
at that, one of the items, sugar,
needed a federal permit to pur-
