SEATTLE FIRM
TO OIL ROAD TO
UPRVER TOWNS
Two Short Pieces Near Prosser
Included in Contract, Which is
Biggest County Has Let; Price
$4,000 Under Estimate

Contract for oiling the 21-mile
stretch of highway between Richland
and Hanford was let this week by the
county commissioners to the Hewitt
& Judd Construction company Of Sc
attic. Included in the contract were
two smaller sections Of road, total
ing about seven miles in the neigh
borhood of Prosser.
The contract as let was about $4,000
under the engineers estimates, ac-
cording to County Commissioner Jay
Perry, in whose district the major
portion of the work will be done.
There were nine bids submitted on
the work.
Crushed rock for the job is already
in the stock piles and the contract
calls for completion by September IL,
unless held up by strikes. It will take
about three weeks, Mr.. Perry states
to get ready to do the job and about
two weeks to complete it.
This will give the upriver folk a
fine road from their towns to the rail
roads and other lines of communities
tion on the south. This section Of road
is also link in the new proposed
North and South highway thru the
state.
The work near Prosser will be on
the Whitstran road north Of town and
on the old Euclid road running west
of town across the river. The con-
tract just let is the largest oiling job
the county has ever let.

UTILITIES BILL
TO BE VOTEDON
HERE THIS FALL
More Than Enough Signatures
Have Been Secured to Have
Proposition Put on Ballot is
Claim of BackerS

Voters of Benton county will have
an opportunity to express their de-
sires in the matter of forming a
countrywide public utilities dis
trict this fall at election time. Petit
tions calling for the submission of the
question have been sent to the audi
tor for checking. Signers to the
number of one-tenth of those voting
at the last election are required to
have the proposition put on the bal
lot.
j. C. Swayze, who has been hand
ling the petitions in the east end of
the county, today stated that more
than six hundred signatures have been
secured while but about $50 are re-
quired.
The purpose of having the district
organized, he said, was so that the
people in this section could take adj
vantage of the cheap power rates
which would eventually be available
when the government completes the
big plant at Coulee.
A similar district is being sought
for Franklin county and there is a
possibility of combining the two in
to one big district, Mr.. Swayze says.

WANT BERRY
CODE TO COVER
BOTH STATES
Executive Committee Submits
Financial Report; Want Sur
plus to Start Season Next
Year

The executive committee of the B.
F. C. S. B. Code have prepared the
following statement showing the dis
position of funds collected. The bal
ance is deposited in the First Nation
al bank of Kennewick.
After comforting with as many
growers as possible it was thought
advisable to defer calling meeting
Of growers until after the busy sea-
son.
It is the opinion of the committee,
backed by all growers it has been able
to contact, that the balance from this
years operation should be held to
further the organization and adoption
of a Dual State Code washington
and Oregon. This will be necessary
ton. We believe that with dual state
to gain full benefit from code opera
control the market can very readily be
controlled to the extent that produc-
ton of berries will show a good pro-
fit. Any such dumping of berries at
any price as practiced by Oregon
growers this past season could and
would be prevented. With the strength
and facilities of a dual state code a
minimum retail price could be adopt
ed and enforced that would guaran-
tee profit to producer.
This matter will be gone into more
thoroughly and explained at the meet
ing to be called later. This meeting
will be announced to all berry grow
ers in writing and it is the earnest
desire of the committee that all grow
ers attend.

DOUBLE SHIFT
AND BIG CREW
FOR TOMATOES
One More Week on Beans at the
Cannery; Quality of Pack
Brings Increased Orders; May
Plant More

Owing to lack of sufficient quaint
ity Of beans the cannery is operating
but -four days week From the pres
ent outlook, there will be suffic-
lent packout to fill orders already
booked for immediate delivery, Ac-
cording to Manager Race. Next week
will see the end OF the bean opera
tions-temporarily, at least, he says.
Mr.. Race and Mr.. Green took some
samples of the pack to Spokane the
first of the week where the examina-
tion brought forth the offer Of an adj
ditional oeder. Samples submitted
to meeting Of chain group of
grocers in Portland also brought
forth a tentative order for a large
quantity.
Because of the high quality Of the
bean raised here, the cannery man
agement is planning to secure an adj
ditional planting of late beans of Ken
lucky Wonder variety, if possible. If
sufficient acreage can be contract
ed, some of the orders now being Of
fered will be accepted.
Starting about the first Of the
month, the cannery will begin opera
tions on tomatoes, of which large
pack is expected. On the acreage al
ready contracted, it is expected that
double shift will be required for an
eight or ten week period in order to
handle the tonnage. The crew will
also be enlarged to about 100 women
on each shift during the tomato sea-
son.
Blight, which has attacked nearly
every tomato growing section this
year, has done little damage in
this locality. In some sections, how
ever, the blight has already done
heavy damage, while on the higher
and heavier ground, there is less than
q one percent indication of blight SO
far, according to Mr.. Race.

PENSIONS AND
LIBRARY WAIT
FORSTATEFUND
Liquor Profits Not Forthcoming
to Cities this Year; Estimate
Kennewick to Get S72S Next
Year; Richland 500

The city council has been count
ing, more or less, upon securing funds
from the state liquor board with
which to help finance the local Ii.
brary. Budget limitations prevented
the levy of the usual tax to carry the
library thru this year and the coun-
Gil has been seeking other funds. The
council is going to be disappointed
and so are the patrons of the library
for the returns from the sale of Ii
quor under state control will not
bring to Kennewick any money this
year. This information has just beer
received from the Association OF
Washington Cities.
Next year, however, Kennewick viii
receive $72S from this source, 1t il
estimated; Prosser $752 and Rich
land 500. These are estimates based
on present incomes from the 81
state liquor stores and 81 agencies
now in operation. Should more fav.
orable conditions pertain next year
the figures will no doubt be increased
according to the report.
The estimated income for 1885 il
placed at million and half dollars
of which one-half is to be returned
to the incorporated cities, towns anc
counties. Thirty percent of the FUND
will go to the state general fund anC
the remaining twenty percent to tn
Old Age Pension fund.

CAN'T DO IT

Some time ago an anonymous let
Ter was received by the chamber of
commerce asking that action be taken
toward securing an afternoon off
during the week for clerks in stores
and earlier closing hours on Saturday.
The letter was turned over to the
trade relations committee of the
chamber for investigation. The COM
mlttee reported this noon that under

WAREHOUSE is
DESTROYED IN
MORNING FIRE
High Wind Endangers Other
Buildings; Gleason Loses his
Equipment and Stored Mater.
ials; New Machinery

The old Pacific Fruit warehouse
standing between the O.-W. and MP.
tracks at Benton street, was totally
destroyed by fire Sunday morning
about three o'clock. The fire was
started, it is presumed by cigarette
stub or by short in q motor. In the
high wind the flimsy structure was
soon too far gone to be saved.
The building had been occupied this
spring and summer by Gleason's and
was used for the storage of crates
and potatoes. There was some pota-
to handling machinery in the build
ing also which was destroyed. Mr..

FALL FESTIVAL
TOREPLACETH
FAIR THIS YEAR
Lack of Interest and Shortage of
Finances Seem to Warrant the
Omission of Annual Agricul-
tural Displays

There will be no fair this year.
This was determined Monday when
the fair board met to discuss the sit
uation following an inquiry from the
oranges and businessmen of Kenne-
wick and Pasco.
Reports from the grange commit
tee indicated that there was still
enough interest manifested and sup
port promised to continue the event
this year. The investigation conduct
ed in the business interests indicated
little or no interest and after consid-
cradle discussion the board decided to
hold some other form of entertain
ment this fall to take the place of the
fair.
A committee OF five was appointed
to take the matter up with the XII
wants and chamber of commerce as
to what character this would assume.
The reaction received was that a
community gathering in the park to
be followed by an evening of enter
tainment would be the most accept
able substitute for the fair this year.
The committee viii meet tomorrow
night to work out a tentative outline
for the days program.
It is possible that rodeo can be
included in the list of the days en-
tertainment features. A special COM
mittee appointed by the fair board re-
Gently has made tentative arrange
ments with Harry Owens to secure
his string of buclcing horses, etc. to
put on show during the fair. 1t may
be possible to arrange this feature
for the single days celebration, as a
side attraction.
Suggestions have been made to the
committee that community gather
ing, such as the one for the Highland
ers last year, be held during the day,
with rodeo and dime show at the
movies as side attractions during the
day, to be followed by a program Of
free entertainment and Badger Cam
yon or similar stunt in the evening.

Dillane. At the same time tho response to sum- monsos served on 595 residents of the second ward by members of the police motor patrol squad was much lighter for tho first day than that Of the first ward n week and a half ago.
