c. 0. P. CHIEFS HIT
DELAY ON VACANCY
Chairman Sanders Success
sor Should Be Chosen,
Says Col. Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 11.-A group of
Republican leaders came forward today
in opposition to any delay in the selec-
ton of Everett Sanders successor as
national chairman.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt. jr., new
head of the National Republican Club,
and Charles D. Hilles, national COM
mitteeman from New York, spoke out
against the suggestion of some Repub-
1icans in Congress that the selection
be deferred until after the November
congressional elections.
Other party leaders, including Sem
ator Fess of Ohio "a former national
committeeman; Representative Smell
of New York, House minority leader,
and George F. Getz, national treasurer,
promptly Endorsed the stand of RooSe-
welt and Hilles.
Favor June 5 as Date.
All said they believed a new chair
man should be named at the National
Committee meeting in Chicago June
S. Sanders has announced he will
submit his resignation at that time.
Some Republican members of Con-
gress suggested recently there was no
need for filling the vacancy imme-
diately since they have organized sepa-
rate campaign committees for the con-
gresSional elections.
THE selection of the chairman of
the National Committee is of vital
importance at this juncture in the
affairs of the country and party" said
Col Roosevelt.
What is more, there should be no
temporizing. The proper man should
be sought and elected, and no stop
gap considered. Any other course
would be confession of weakness"
Hilles, close friend of former Presi-
dent Hoover, said the committee should
unite on chairman satisfactory to
progressive and conservative elements
of the party.
No candidate for the office should
be discarded for geographical reasons.
he said, and there should be no
elimination of potential chairmen be-
fore the committees meeting.
Organizer, Ho0ver's Choice.
Mr.. Hoover was reported to favor
chairman with a reputation as an in
tenSive organiZer"-a view he was SAID
to have had while he was still in the
White House. However. the former
President was said by this source to
be unwilling to take any steps to
dictate selection of the new chairman.
1t was also said that Mr.. Hoover's
influence would be felt only in so far
as his viewpoint might be reflected by
individual members of the committee.
Other sources, recalling the former
Presidents recent conferences in the
South and Middle West, said he had
manifested considerable interest in the
craftsmanship.
In some quarters it was reported
there was a group within the COM
mittee opposed to any chairman who
might be regarded as of the "old
guard or pictured in the public mind
as rubber stamp" of the Hoover
administration.
However, there are other leaders
who feel that the fact party leader
has been associated with the last
administration either officially or un-
officially should not disqualify him
for the office.

GARDNER TELLS
G.. OF G.. ABOUT
HIS BANK JOB
Former Editor of Local Paper
Explains Aims and Operation
of New Government Institu-
ton; Plan Building Drive

At today's chamber Of commerce
luncheon, A. r. Gardner, president Of
the Chicago branch Of the Federal
Home Loan Bank, explained to the
members the operation of his insti-
tuition. He said the question most
frequently asked him was how it hap
pened that he managed to secure
such a position during a democratic
administration, knowing that he was
and still is, good republican. He an
swered by stating that the job was
not a political appointment.
Mr.. Gardner is in Kennewick on q
short vacation from his work, coming
back to see his many friends in the old
home town. For ten years he was edi-
tor of the local paper, going from
here to Olympia to serve as secre-
tary to Governor Hartley. He after
wards became connected Wifi the saw
ings and loan societies Of the state
and later secured a position IN Wash
ington. From there he secured his
appointment to the Federal bank at
Evanston, which is now moved to
Chicago.
The bank Of which Mr.. Gardner is
president is one of twelve which COM
prise the Federal system.
"These banks are not emergency or
relief agencies" said Mr.. Gardner in
explanation of the banks operation.
''The Federal Home Loan Bank sys-
tenn was created to provide long-terrn
dependable credit to institutions en-
gagged in the business of home financ-
ing. The banks are permanent insti-
buttons and their relationship to the
building and loan associations and
other home-financing institutions is
!, similar to that Of the federal reserve
banks to commercial banks.
"While the Federal Home Loan
banks are under the general control
of the Federal Home Loan bank board
the same as the Home Owners Loan
corporation, the two agencies are In

RABBIT DRIVE
SET FOR NEXT
TUESDAY EVE.
SpOrtemen's Club Sponsors At
fair to Rid District of Pests;
Will also Build Rearing Ponds
for Bass Fry Now Being Lost

The Kennewick Sportsman's club is
being recognized as one Of the Invest
organizations in the state. Game
Commissioner Nally, who takes a fiji
teen minute period on the radio at
Spokane each Friday night, haze given
the district some favorable publicity
concerning the clubs activities.
This week the club is sponsoring a
rabbit drive. Rabbits have become so
numerous as TO become a menace,
even with the hundreds which are kill
ed by cars along the roads at night.
They are especially numerous on the
west Highlands and the first drive is
planned for that section.
Those who wish to participate are
asked to assemble at the Vista ware
house at 6:15 Tuesday night Of next
week. Shotguns only will be permitted
in the drive, and it is hoped that a
cost price on shells may. be secured
for this event. Everyone who wants
some fun is invited to join the drive.
The club is also sponsoring couple
of fish rearing ponds to save the small
bass which are annually left to die
with the receding waters from the
river. A pond on the DR.. Brunn farm
toward Finley and one on the C. N
Coan place have been leased. They
will be seined and the bass fry put in
The places will be closely posted and

stocked with the fry. Work will start
on the ponds this week.

ATTORNEY SAYS
SPUD CODE CAN
BE MADE TO GO
Ruling from Attorney General
Indicates Interstate Ship
ments Must Also Carry Tags;
Will Stabilize Price Quotations

The Early Potato Code committee
received an official opinion today
from the Attorney Generals office
that the code committee have auth
ority to control the price Of potatoes
sold not only within the state but the
sales to consignee where shipped out
of the state. The code stamps also
must be affixed whether sold within
or without the state.
We quote the opinion herewith,
"That it is within the authority Of
the department Of Agriculture under
such code agreements, and rules as
are authorized under such codes,
agree ments and rules as are authoriz-
ed by chapter IL, of the laws Of 1888,
extraordinary session, to require that
all potatoes sold or shipped shall
bear the official stamp provided for
by the department Of agriculture.
"That all sales made within the
state of Washington are subject to
the terms Of the act and the codes and
agreements and rules formed there
under, regardless Of whether the pro-
duce is sold or purchased for shipping
to points within the state or points
without the state. In this connection
we may add that where a party OUT
side of the state buys potatoes which
are within the state under contract
whereby the owner is to deliver such
potatoes to the public. carrier would
constitute delivery within the state Of
Washington and would constitute the
transaction within the state and would
be subject to the laws of the state in-
GLIDING the act above mentioned, even
GLIDING the act above mentioned, eve
though such product was consigned
to points outside Of the state"
The market on early Cobblers Is
holding firm, but the demand has not
been as heavy as desired the first half
of this week. Probably the holiday
has had something to do with cur
tailed demand.
Growers have been hopeful that the
code price of potatoes now fixed at
soc .cyt. fob. could be advanced.
However, it is the opinion of the code
committee that as the demand has not
increased, and shipments are no heav-
Ter this week than last, than an In
crease in fob. quotations Is unwar-
ranted at this time.

GLEASON PLANS
TO ESTABLISH
OWN CANNERY
Making Five-Year Leases at
Stated Prices for Both Green
and Cannery Asparagus; Two
Hundred Acres Needed

As a result of the cannery exper-
fence in - area this year, asparagus
growers will be assured of stable,
uniform price for their products for
the next five years, at least. I. S.
Gleason, the districts cash buyer, is
negotiating five-year contracts with
grass growers, establishing set
price thruout the season.
II have learned enough about as
paragus, in my long experience here"
Mr.. Gleason stated "to know that the
average grower cannot tell when TO
quit the green market. Every year
enough grass is lost at the end of the
box season to keep cannery operat-
ing. From now on, it shall become my
JOB to see that there is profitable
outlet for grass. I think, with the
new setup l now have in sight that [
can arrange this satisfactorily. / am
offering contracts with growers, on a
flve-year basis for and cents for
grass up to the 18th Of April. For the
next ten days the price will be 5 and
and from the 18th on 4 and 2 cents
per pound.
For the green market nickle will
oe added. Thus on the cent price
q cents for the 12-pound box, plus
iive cents will make "a cents for num-
ner one. When the market threatens,
sne product can be put into cans. I
nave made arrangements for can
merry plant and intend to follow with
otner products as the season develops.
! think the grass industry is just be-
ginning here, and with a definite.
stated price the grower can figure
OUT the possibilities and I am sure the
year in year out possibilities will ap-
peal to many growers. I will need
some two hundred acres under con-
tract to make the deal successful, but
snuelpate no difficulty.
II local grower cares to enter
,a1o such a contract, I am prepared"
r. Gleason stated" to help in num-
OF ways. I am having young
plants grown for planting purposes
.aa can assist in other ways. think
Tue grass deal should be enlarged"

CANNERY OPENS
70 RBEAN PACK
NEXT TUESDAY
Expect to Continue Steady OPP.
GRAFTON Thru Tomato Season
Manager Race Secures Coco
Orders for Packed Goods

A telephone message late this aft
ernoon from Mr.. Race, manager for
the Kennewick cannery, gave assur-
ance of the opening OF. the local plant
again next Tuesday morning. Mr.,
Race has been on the coast since Sat-
urday firming up conditional orders
which the plant had entered.
Owing to the uncertain condition OF
the bean harvest and the uncertainty
in the financing, the local institution
had to complete some special arrange
ments before reopening. The plant is
now in condition, Mr.. Race states, to
operate as fast as the beans can be
secured and turnout the packing sea-
son.
About the time the beans have been
completed the tomatoes will be ready
and enough orders have been firmed
up to permit continuous run on this
commodity.
Price outlooks are considerably bet
ter at the present time for canned
goods as there is small carryove,
from last season and on the new or.
ders better price is expected at yhe
plant.
Mr.. Race will leave Seattle in the
morning and as soon as he has re-
turned operations will again be start
ed.
During the past ten days it has
been necessary to secure an agreement
from 90 percent Of the creditors to
withhold legal action against the plan,
for period of six months. The man
agement was extremely anxious te
get the plant into operation to handle
the bean crop which had been con.
tracted and later the tomatoes, Of
which large acreage is signed. This
work has now been completed and the
plant will operate as the beans are
made available. Nearly a hundred
and fifty acres of beans are contract
ed for and it is hoped operate fair
~ continuously right into the tomato
season.

PIONEERS TELL
WHYTHEY CAME
TO KENNEWICK
More than Two Hundred on List
of Those Who Came Here
Prior to 1910; Many More in
District Not Yet Registered

One of the most interesting events
of the Fourth of July celebration here
was the Pioneers cabin. Here a reg
istration booth was established and
the old timers of the district were
asked numerous questions. When
they came to the country and why,
how old they were and where they
came from were put down in the book.
1t was found that of the more than
two hundred who were listed as hav-
ing lived here since 1910 or before a
bakers dozen came in the sos. The
two who were listed as the oldest in
the community, however, were Meth
er residents of the Kennewick vicin-
ity. E. Fl. Conwell of Richland and
James w. B. Croft of Hanford, said
they came to this country in 1882.
Three residents came the next year,
1883-D. C. Kirk of Richland, r. E.
Carpenter of the River Road and j. 7.
Roberts of Richland. Three more came
the next year, Chas. Lum of the val
ley, Mrs. Lola Copeland of Richland
and II. T. Paterson of aPterson.
The next few years were not so
good from settlement standpoint, as
there were no new ones registered un-
til 1883. But in the meantime Mrs.
Clara Root, now of Horse Heaven was
born in 1885. Nobody listed in 1897
as the year of their arrival, but the
next year VIM. Mills was born at Ho-
yer, Mrs. D. L. Hensen, then Case,
was born in thhe Rattlesnake district
and C. w. Johanscn came to Benton
City.
Van Martin came here the following
year with his family and since lived
on the family place couple of miles
up the River Road.
Many other residents of the district
who have lived here since 1910 are
still in the community, but did not
get their names in the list. 1t is hop
ed to secure more complete regis
ter next year when the plan is more
fully understood. The book will be
kept on file in the printing office and
should prove an interesting document
for the old timers in the district who
are privileged to inspect it at any
time.
In looking over the ages of those
listed we find that City Clerk Il. E.
Huntington carries away the honors
of being the oldest local resident reg
istered. He admits his 80 years. He,
however, was not the oldest man on
the grounds by quite measure. w.
H. DeVaull of White Bluffs said he
was 95 years old. He is member Of
the GAR. and was looking for a
comrade here.
Mr.. DeVaull confessed that many of
the stories the old soldiers tell be-
come embellished with the passing
years and he warns the younger gen.
GRAFTON to not put too much credence
in the more far-fetched of the yarns
they may hear.
