Big "Y' Begins Work
Tonight with Two Crews

The Northwest Brogdex c o M
pany completed the installation of
their new washer at the Big Y
and the first crew will start work
this evening. Only one washer has
been Installed and the Big Y will
run two shifts, thereby employing
the same number Of workers, and
not delaying the fall pack-out
longer as the plant has been clos
ed down for more than week.
The new washer and brushes are
said to reduce the fire hazard
greatly. The crews will continue
packing Romes and Winesaps, the
latter crop requiring workers un-
til the latter part of November.
The end of the week is expected to
see the final shipping of the pear
crop of 1888, when the last four
cars of Winter Nelis will roll to
export trade, making a total Of
eight cars shipped this week, two
cars rolled Monday and Tuesday
night each. The pear crop was said.
to be better for this district than
for several years and the apple
packout is expected to be fair and
the apples Of good quality, while
the prices are said to be very un-
satisfactory.

MORE STREET
WORK ADDED
TO CITY PLAN
Relief Program to handle
Surfacing Residence Streets
Sewer Plan Postponed
for Time Being

The work relief program for the
city as outlined at the special
meeting of the council last week
was changed Tuesday night to in
clude more work on the streets.
This change was made because ii
was figured that more people
would directly benefit thereby and
an equal, if not greater amount of
hand work would result.
Last week the city decided upon
three major projects, funds for
which would be asked from the
state, matching dollar for dollar
with a city bond issue. The three
were the completion of the drain
age project for the Garden Tracts,
part of which was done last win
ter as a relief measure; changing
the main trunk sewer outlet, which
now runs under the state highway
pavement from the foot of Wash.
ington street to the curve at the
bridge, and resurfacing of Wash.
ington street from the canal tc
the highway.
By eliminating the sewer prof.
ect, an equal expenditure will
serve to surface several of the
downtown streets with the salts
factory plant mixed oil gravel such
as being used on the states arter-
ial highways.
It is estimated that the money
which had been allocated to the
change of the sewer system would
resurface Avenue A from Cascade
to lone streets, First and Second
Avenues from Washington street
to the canal and the cross streets
between. Also Fruitland street
north thru the Garden Tracts to
the intersection with the state
highway.
The other two projects, the
drainage system and the Washing
ton work are to be left as out
lined last week.
The ordinance required in the
application to the state for relief
money was given its first and sec
ond readings. As soon as it has
been given its final reading, appli-
cation will be made to the state
for its share of the relief money.

NRA CODE LETS
RETAILERS OUT
Employers of Five or Less
Excluded From Agreement;
Chains Must Comply

Announcement the first of the
week that the retailers code had
been signed, caused Kennewick
storekeepers to have a great sigh
of relief. Under the code, only
those employers of more than five,
in towns the size of Kennewick
are to be held under the code or
by the presidents agreement I'm
der the code, however, even in the
towns under $500, the chain stores,
small factories and those doing an
interstate business will still have
NRA watching over them.
The orders issuance conceded
with PRONUNCIATION of the retail
trade code which emerged with
price control provision stripped Of
its 10 percent markup fought by
farmer and consumer representa-
tives alike, but so phrased as to
give the merchant substantially
the same protection against de-
structive price cutting by COMPETE
tors.

TOWNS WANT
TO SHARE In
LIQUOR FEES
States Proposal to Handle
All Sales is Not Finding
Favor in Towns Where
Policing Costs Increase

Quite a lot of activity is being
displayed among certain interests
who are trying to grab off all rev.
enues from the forthcoming liquor
traffic for the state. Proposals
have been submitted authorizing
the state to install, stock and OPP
crate liquor. stores, with the en-
tire net profits going to state in
stitutions and none to the munich
palities. e
The cities, upon whom will fall
the duty of policing and supervis-
ion, are objecting strenuously to
being cut off from revenues from
this source. Under the majority of
proposals the municipalities will
not even have voice in whether
or not a permit to operate will be
granted. --. .-
In the eastern part of the state
there has been organized a League
of Municipalities. This group is to
meet in Yakima Thursday after
noon and evening to discuss pos
sibilities of defeating the states
proposals to grab off all liquor
revenues. The city managers feel
that certain rights must be grant
ed the districts in which the liquor
stores are to operate.
At the adjourned meeting of the
council Tuesday night, Attorney C.
L. Holcomb and Councilman Ed
Watts were appointed representa-
tives from the city of Kennewick
to attend the meeting and vote as
delegates. -

Concrete Headgates to Replace

Season Successful

Water was turned out of the
Columbia Irrigation district canal
last night, marking the close of
the 1888 irrigation season. No un-

tion of water to landowners this
year.
Other than the usual winter
cleanup and repair work, Manager
Frank Mason announces that the
installation of new headgates will
be undertaken early this fall. The

be of steel and concrete. The cost
will be in the neighborhood of

embezzlement, Ethelbert o. Sher.
wood, 4S, was apprehended yester-
day and is being held in Jail pend
ing arraignment in the Benton
county superior court, says a dis
patch from Prosser to Yakima
paper.
An information was on file in
the clerks office charging Sher-
wood with appropriating for his
own use $4,000, which was the
property of Harriet Allison,
guardian for the estates of Dorothy
Allison and Forrest Allison, min
ors. Sherwood, who was arrested
in Portland, waived extradition
and was returned to Benton coun-
ty by deputies from here.
Sherwood, whose home was in
Kennewick, operated under the
aliases of Earl Neil, Earl Hamil-

plaint alleges. He will be arraign-
ed when Judge Matt L. Driscoll
holds court here late this week.
