SpOrtsmen Get Promise of
Carload of Game Fish

The Sportsmen of Kennewick and
the upper Yakima valley have for the
past three years realized that the
game fish in the Yakima river were
becoming a scarcity. For the last
year the state game department has
endeayored to obtain a certain species
OF the small mouth bass for restock-
ing the river, but have so far been
unable to secure them.
Through Mr.. Robert Hansen as in
tersesssor, Mr.. Frank Bell, U. s.
Fish Commissioner is sending car
load of fish into this valley for dis
ulouton, after Mr.. Hansen had call
ed to Mr.. Bells attention the dire
need of restocking this stream. Mr.
beil called meeting of the sportemer
at Sunnyside on August 6, Frank
white and Mitch Kershaw attending
from here. At this time he learned
iirst hand what the sportsmen need.
cd and on August 18th, the Kenne,
WICK Sportemen's Club received a leI.
Ter from Mr.. Bell that these fist
would arrive either in September o.
October. +.
The sportsmen of the valley ar;
mighty elated over the possibility O
receiving this amount Of fish IRON
the federal government and feel yer!
greatful toward both of these gentie
men.

PACKING SHEDS
WORKING ON 10
HOUR SHIFTS
Outlook Good for Better Prices
on Apples and Pears; Run
Two More Months; Crop Is
Cleaner Here

Streams of famous Kennewick APP
Piles and pears in almost an endless
belt are now pouring along the
benches and sorting tables Of the Big
Y warehouse here while trucks from
countless orchards in every direction
from Kennewick are backing up to the
unloading platforms with tons Of the
fruit to be used in almost every inn
portant corner of the globe.
Officials of the Big Y revealed to-
day that the Delicious apple pack and
the Winter Nelis pear pack is now
nearing its peak. Already 10 cars OF
apples from the 1884 crop have been
dispatched for both domestic and ex-
port destinations. Most Of the pear
pack is being held here in cold stor-
age until the fall and winter markets
open up, although few cars of the
pears were said to have been sent
from here already this year.
According to the information Sc
cured from the Big Y orchardmen OK
this district will have more reason to
wear bigger smiles this season, as
market conditions give every evidence
of very satisfactory year. Prices on
both pears and apples are much bet
ter than they have been for some
years and the market scope enlarg-
ing with demand said to be good.
Although apple acreage in the Ken
newick district has been reduced in
the past few years there is still much
fruit in this region and farmers are
harvesting a good crop. It was said
to be much cleaner this year, freer
from worms and with a marked de-
crease in the Gull percentage.
However, it was stated that with
the much earlier harvest season and
| the continued hot weather some diff
/ ficulty was being experienced In che
/ proper tone of red. This fact has
caused a. greater pack of what is
known as &C" grade.
A crew of 80 persons is employed at
the Big Y alone this year, working
on 1O-hour shifts to handle the pear
and Delicious apple pack alone. An
average of percent higher wages
over those of last year are being paid
! all the workers.
In all probabilities an even larger
crew will be engaged when the Wine
sap apple pack is sfErted in a short
time, as this variety far exceeds the
acreage of the other varieties OF APP
Piles. -
Although the fall fruit pack has
been going on for almost a month,
Big Y officials said they expected
that packing operations would con-
tinue for fully two months yet.

Car Accident

Two cars and truck were involved
in a wreck about IL o'clock Tuesday
evening nine miles west Of Kenne-
wick on the highway when a car driv-
en- by M. A. Metz, and owned by his
mother, Mrs. Esta Wilson was said TO
have stopped on the highway to fix
lights. A truck driven by G. G.
Macy, Baker, Oregon, and loaded
with pears and grapes, rammed the
rear end Of the stalled car, turning II
over. The car caught fire and burn
ed. The truck went into the ditch,
scattering the load over the highway
and in the cut and was badly damag-
ed, as well as most Of the load, tho the
driver escaped with bruises. Metz
received an injured leg, and is in the
Pasco hospital.
Raymond Wright, driving a Cali
fornia car, on his way to Yakima, was
the first to arrive at the scent OF the
accident. The truck driver was said
to have been watching an approach
ing car and didn't see the dark car In
time to avoid the accident.

The pools will be open at the usual

vote will not be known as early in the
evening this year as in other years
on account of the larger number OF
candidates on both tickets.
In the city precincts, which are now
operating under the permanent regis.
tration law, the business of voting
will take longer also. .=u.a
/ Under the new law each voter must
sign his name before he is given
ballot, and then the clerk must com
pare the signature with that on nj:

lily slow up the proceedings and there
fore all are urged to do their voting
as early as possible in the day. FRA
Not for another whole year it be
come necessary for the voters living
outside the city limits Ito sign for
ballot. The permanent registration
law will not GO into effect until Jan
uary of 1886. Until that time the reg
istrations now on the books are still

WATER RODEo

George Chase of White Bluffs was
in Kennewick Tuesday arranging for
a water rodeo which his townsfolk are
preparing to celebrate the completion
of the oiled road into his territory. In
an effort to get people from the east
ern end of the county to take a trip
over the new highway, the upriver
people are staging the program of
water sports as special inducement
Some fast boats are being entered
in the regatta and Mr.. Chase thinks
the entertainment will be well worth
the trip. Tentatively the date has
been set for the 30th of this month.

CANNERY GETS
MORE ORDERS
FOR TOMATOES
Big Order Turned Down on Ac-
count of Lack of Tonnage;
Picking for Fresh Markets
Cuts Down Yield q

cts hard to have to turn away
business" said Manager John Race Of
the Kennewick cannery thtis eve
ming. 81 received an order this morn
ing for $4,000 cases of tomatoes and
had to turn it down, because of a
fear of not receiving enough toma-
toes at the plant. This is but one Of
several orders which we have been
unable to contract for since the sea
son has gotten underway"
Averaging only about half work
ing day, the planat has operated since
the beginning Of the tomato season
with a crew of sixty to eighty en-
ployees. The long and widespread
cutting Of the green tomatoes has
made its showing on the tonnage of
the ripe fruit and much smaller de
livery is being received than was an
ticipated. Blight has also been on the
increase, tho Mr.. Race attributes
some of the. lessened production to the
earlier pickings.
Even at the lowered per acre pro-
duction, Mr.. Race states that this
section can feel proud of it's produc-
ton. He says this district produces
more than double the amount per acre
over the average for the United
States. He says that in his opinion
growers would greatly profit by the
introduction of some Of the harder
varieties another year.
With the crew operating but part
time, the canayary has put a consid
cradle amount of money into circu'
lation in the district. This amount
would be greatly increased, of course
had the deliveries been larger.
The Kennewick cannery is unique
Mr.. Race believes. He says that wher
! go. some ten thousand dollars il
4 90, some ten Thousand dollars il
debt and no operating fund. Thru thu
efforts of practically one man, w. 5
Green, the institution has continued
to operate, and if the season last'
long enough, he is confident that thu
debts will all be paid and the Gamer!
will be in good shape to open To-
next seasons operations.

COSTS ANOTHER
DOLLARNOW TO

Federal Tax Added to Licenses
for Water Fowl; To Increase
Production is Aim of Sports
men who Favor Plan = -.

1t won't be long now until pop and
big brother will be getting out the
old shooting irons," gettin' them all
oiled up and making sure that they
are in tip-top shape for the opening
of the fall hunting season, which will
open first in a few weeks on upland
birds. ---,.r .-. ,s-
Hunters of migratory water fowl
this year will be required by federal
law to purchase in addition to their
regular state hunting license, a spec
ial federal stamp, which sells for one
dollar and must be attached to the
state license. 3
Mitch Kershaw, leading Kennewick
sportsman and constant worker for
better hunting conditions for this re-
gion, had the honor of purchasing the
first stamp Wednesday afternoon.
Kershaw said these stamps can be
purchased in towns with popula-
ton of over $500, or at any county
seat regardless of what county the
purchaser may reside in. According
to information from the government
80 cents ofeach dollar received by the
government will be spent for migra-
tory bird propagation throughout the
entire United States.
With the many dollars that will be
collected by these means this should
result in a much increased size of mi.
gratory bird flights each year, i'm.
proved hunting conditions and event
ually longer seasons or increased bag
limits.

The loan, including the refunding
of the $4,000 which the district has

made this noon to the chamber of
