JAPS TO PLAY AT
HANFORD JUNE IA

Baseball fans of the valley will
see one of the most colorful games
in a number of years here Sunday
when the Hanford- White Bluffs
club plays host to the Nippons,
Japanese team of Wapato.
Although they are not heavy hit
tiers, the Japanese boys are fiashy
felders, spelling many a heavy hit
ting teams attack, and are on their
toes every minute of the game, Civ
ing the fans plenty of thrills. The
locals hold one win over the Nip
pons already this season, and with
their impressive showing Of last
Sunday have a Slight edge in the
pre- game dope, but the Japs have
upset several of the heaviest hitting
teams in the league, and are not
to be regarded too lightly.

Iced Express
Cars Part OF
New Service
Daily Service For Fruit
Season Begins This
Week

Iced cars for express shipments
of fruit have been scheduled by the
Milwaukee, which Monday began
daily train service to this valley for
the duration, of the fruit season.
Two cars will be sent down daily,
one of them coming to White Bluffs
and Hanford for loading that eve
ming and the other being left at
Vernita so that up-river growers
can load at their convenience the
following day. The car to the lower
valley will be taken back on the
same train, the other to be picked
up the next evening.
This is a distinct service to the
growers of small, early shipments
whose less than carload consign-
ments, hitherto uniced, have some
times lost their first freshness be-
fore they could be transferred to
the main line.
Running on a new schedule, the
daily train will reach White Bluffs
at 5:45 in the afternoon and Han
ford at $50, beginning the return
journey from Hartford at 1880 and
leaving White Bluffs at $40.

Columbia Nav
Have Passed
Seasonal Peak
Has Dropped Off ~ Feet
From 525- Foot Stage
Of June 4

Whether or not the Columbia riv-
er has reached it's seasonal peak
is still a matter Of conjecture, but
it has already passed the normal
high water stage and by today had
fallen off one and a half feet from
the stage of $3.50 feet on June 4.
While it is not at all uncommon
for the river to reach high stage
hate in May or early in June and
then rececle for a few days, it nearly
always has risen again to a higher
peak later in June The normal high
water stage is between June 18th
and Goth.
This year the river flow did not
begin to increase until later than
in average years, but it has come
up steadily, early hot spells adding
to the runoff, while during the alb
normally cold periods there was suf-
ficient rainfall to maintain the in
crease.
The high water peak reached last
Thursday, while not abnormaly
high, is several feet above the av-
erage and is within three feet of
the highest peak recorded at Coyote
Rapids in the past twenty-six years.
The 1885 peak was 523.84 feet, the
1884 peak, 524.8, and in 1888, which
was the highest since 1916, the peak
was 5282 feet.

GOOD PRICES ARE
OFFERED FOR COTS

With the cherry deal nearly fin
ished, interest in early fruits has
swung to apricots, which will be
ready for shipment soon after the
25th of the month.
An offer of $50 a ton for Moor
parks and $40 for Tiltons has been
made growers of the Allard- Vernira
district, according to Levi Austin,
Vernita grower. 1t is expected that
there will be over $50 tons of cots
in that district this season.
Rains of the past week have DAM
aged cherries to a great extent in
all districts and the marketing here
is virtually over. Local growers re-
ceived 61A cents per pound for
Bings this week. In Yakima, where
marketing is just beginning, quo
tations are AZ cents for No. is,
with canneries paying 5 cents.
With digging Of early potatoes
scheduled to start in the near flu
ture, a strong market is forecast,
with word from Kennewick that five
carloads were sold by growers at $75
ton and sacks for delivery when
ready. Last season the market
opened at about $25 per ton. The
price on old potatoes is still adj
vancing, latest quotations being $85
to $1OO a ton.

Team Jumps To
Top With Victory

After spending the first half Of
the season in the lower division,
Hanford- White Bluffs jumped into
a tie for first place in the valley
league Sunday with a Al victory
over Sunnyside Both other games
in the league were rained out, leav-
ing the Nippons and Toppenish tied
with the locals for first place with
one victory and no defeats.
Despite the fact that strong
wind made it difficult to field the
ball, felders on both teams nabbed
a number of drives that looked like
sure hits, and the infielders were
working smoothly, although in the
early innings both teams made a
few misplays, none of them costly
T. sSunnyside scored first in the
fourth inning, Chittick bringing In
their lone run when he scored from
second on Barnes single. Hanford-
White Bluffs came back in the fifth
with two runs by Montgomery and
Wagner, and again in the eighth
with two by Griner and Hartman
