weeks, optimistic home makers are

Letting was done by members OF
the Fraternal Order Of Eagles, al
though quite a considerable sum was
sent direct to the Yakima head

FARMERS ASK
CITY TO KILL
SIDE PARKING
Present Petition Against the
Adoption of Parallel Park
ing; Consideration of Traf-
fic Law is Postponed

The city council was too busy"
last Tuesday night to take up the
new traffic ordinance, one provision
in which is for the parallel parking.
Several citizens were at the council
chambers to protest against the
adoption of the new regulation,
some Of whom left after being told
that other business would interfere
with the consideration Of the ordi-
nance at that time.
Of those who remained, the most
effective protest was that presented
by the Highlands grange. Two
members presented the council
with petition signed by more than
fifty residents, asking that the side
parking be not adopted. This in
strument had noticeable effect
upon the council, and 1t is probable
that this provision will not be en-
forced.
Individual members Of the coun-
Gil profess to believe that the new
traffic code should be all inclusive
drawn SO as to care for conditions
such as might develop in the next
fifteen or twenty years. They say
that sooner or later such a provision
for parking will become necessary
and should be included In the pres
ent document, although they agree
that this provision would not be
enforced for some time to come.
The matter was again brought
before the chamber OF commerce.
this noon and all efforts to find q
member who favored the side park
ing failed. Nor was 1t possible TO
find out from the president of the
organization (who is also a mem.
Der OF the city counciiJ just whos
the matter would again be brought
before that body. Asked who fav-
ored the new parking regulation he
said it was presumed that all who
did not protest its passage were
in favor Of it. The idea was scoffed.
Secretary Geo. d. Peters reported
an enthusiastic attendance at the
hearing In Lewiston this week be
fore Major Robins on the open
river development. More than two
hundred delegates from all sections
Of the Columbia river valley were
present and the army engineers re-
ceived the testimony regarding the
advantages OF the work. Kennewick
had no delegates. but compre-
hensive brief outlining the require
ments was presented from here. Tho
brief win be introduced as a portion
Of the testimony.

Krack.
while I'm not yet at liberty to
make definite announcement" Mr..
Krack said tonight, "the grass deal
will be good one In this section
this year. While there was some
talk earlier in the winter OF a slight
cut in the price of grass, we are
sure that quite the opposite will be
the case. Instead OF cut, &c Is al
most sure thing now that an in
crease over the price OF last year
will be paid.
Even slight increase" Mr..
Krack said, will mean many more
dollars to the growers. The deal
looks good and / shall be happy to
announce a substantial increase, II
present plans are contaminated"
The meeting was one Of the best
the organization has ever had, a
large number OF the members turn
ing out for the occasion. The fin
ancial report was approved and the

growth. both In membership and

BIG TOCUT
IT'S CHARGES
FOR HANDLING
Better Financial Conditions
Permit Reduction on Ber-
ries and Grass; Prices Are
Better

The annual meeting of the Yaki-
ma Fruit Growers Association was
held at the Masonic Temple Mon
day afternoon with about sixty
members present. The reports brot
by the officers are in contrast with
those of the past several years
Fruit prices have greatly advanced
and the apple grower is again COM
ing into his own, according to re-
port given us by Local Manager II
w. Desgranges.
President Austin woodward re-
viewed the work done by the North
west Fruit Incorporated, the organ
ization of the four big cooperatives
of the northwest in their adver-
Using campaign. The results have
proven very satisfactory and this eff
fort will be enlarged for the coming
year. The moving picture of the
apple industry, portraying the apple
from the blossom to the pie recently
shown at the local theatre is part
of their work. This picture is being
shown all over the United States
and is intended to make the people
apple minded"
G. G. Aller reported on the finan-
cial status of the organization. The
better prices for fruit has enabled
many growers to balance their ac-
count who had been in arrears
since the beginning Of the depres-
sion. This in turn has enabled the
Association to meet its obligations
and at the present time all bills are
paid and the Association is on q
cash basis. Its building bonded in
debtedness has been refunded thru
the Bank for Cooperatives on q
long-term, low rate of interest.
w. j. Hebert, sales manager, re-
viewed the markets for the past
year which are nearer normal than
since the beginning Of the depres-
sion. Delicious apples are now selling
for as high as $3.50 and Winesaps
at $180. Mr.. Hebert reviewed at
some length the efforts put forth Ia
extend the market fof the rapidly
increasing asparagus tonnage. Last
year the Big Y divided its tonnage
between four Gamers. all Of whom
found It good business and are after
increased supplies. One cannery
that received only SO ton now wants
$50 ton. This demand win tend foz
better prices.
II. w. Desgranges, local manager
reported that the seasons operation
would show . nice balance as re-
suit Of which the board Of trus-
tees have authorized reduction II
the handling charges on asparagus
and strawberries.

REFUNDING OF
is COMPLETE
Actual Transfer of Old Bonds
for New Takes Place Amid
Plenty of Safeguards; An
nual Payments Reduced

"FiniS' was written in the history
of the refinancing operations of the
Columbia Irrigation District with
the actual exchange of bonds hav-
ing been effected on Thursday OF
last week.
Ole Brue, president of the board
of directors, M. M. Moulton. attor-
ney, Ben Knox, county treasurer and
Frank Maupin, secretary of the dis
trict, were called to the Federal Re-
serve Bank branch. in Spokane on
that date, and under the direction
of officers of that bank acting as
agents of the Reconstruction FL
ance Corporation the old bonds
were checked out and the new ones
substituted.
To the layman who is ordinarily
not familiar with the customary
procedures in exchanging of large
amounts of money or securities, the
work of the reserve bank is extreme
ly interesting. Mr.. Knox, acting as
ex-officio treasurer of the district,
and Mr.. Maupin were taken into
the vault Of the bank, generously
escorted with guards and attend
ants, and the old bonds were brot
from the inner vault and carefully
identified, checked and marked &C
cording to detailed instructions
from the RFC. There were over
eleven hundred of the old bonds,
and as soon as they were disposed
of the two hundred refunding bonds
were similarly checked and after
proper affidavits were signed by all
parties concerned, the new bonds
became an actually.
Slightly over one percent of the
old bonds were unobtainable for
this refunding project. being either
lost or hopelessly entangled in es-
tates so that they were not avail
able. but are guaranteed by fund
accumulated by the district during
the past three years so that they
may be disposed Of without further
levy If they should appear. Aside
from these old bonds, the financial
statement Of the district win show
outstanding bonds amounting ia
$3.50 10000 as compared to the for
mer debt Of $535. 10000 and the In
terest payments reduced from $751;
50500 to over go. 10000 as arranged
in the Benton County Columbia
plan, and finally to the present plan
which calls for an annual interest
payment Of only $4,000.
With its finances properly adj
justed, the district officials have
only the weather to worry about
The long siege Of freezing work has
kept all outside work at q complete
standsttll. Less than q month re-
mains in which to prepare the canal
for the 1887 irrigation season, and
much Of the usual fall work has not
yet been started, 50 that It Is pos
sible that one Of the major i'm
provement jobs will necessarily be
held over until next fall.

TOWN AGAIN TO
ASK FOR NEW
Pc. BUILDING
Records Show Steady In
crease; Organizations and
Individuals Urged to Write
Congressman

Kennewick is the most logical
point in the fourth congregational
district for the construction of q
new federal post office building, ii
increase in postal receipts, increase
in the amount of mail handled
money order business and growth Of
the community is considered. This
statement, made at the chamber
of commerce luncheon by Post
master F.. II. Lincoln, is backed up
by the records from his office.
Recent communications with
Congressman Knute Hill indicate
that this locality stands a chance
Of a federal building appropriation
and the amount Of demand from
voters in the community will have q
large bearing upon whether or not
the town receives this consideration
Mr.. Lincoln is urging all civic or
CARNATIONS and individuals to write
Congressman Hill urging his active
support In the effort to have q new
building put up here.
Two other cities in Congressman
Hills district are asking for federal
buildings Ritzville and Clarkston
Mr.. Lincoln stated.
The local office, besides greatly
increasing the money order and
postal savings departments (Which
have no bearing on the total re-
ceipts Of the office) records show
the following substantial increases:
The year 1894 showed q Is percent
increase over 1888: 1885 showed q
17h percent increase over 1894 and
1896 showed q ten percent increase
over 1895.
The rapid influx Of new settlers
from the drouth stricken areas In
the middlewest is increasing the
scope Of the local office which
shows the greatest percentage Of In
crease Of any Of the smaller offices
in the state.
These figures are to be used In
asking for the appropriation for the
new building.

PASCO LOSES
PLACE TOK. In
TOURNAMENT
Locals Lose Here, But Win
There; Game Needed to
Stay in Tournament; Beat
Marquette

AS result of Kennewick's two
toughest games of the season which
were played with Pasco here Fri
day and Monday on the Pasco floor,
Kennewick will play in the lower
valley tournament which is being
held here this weekend.
The Kennewick five seemed to
have a hard time getting started
Friday, but at the end Of the half
we were ahead ii to 8. However,
we lost out in the last half with
Pasco winning with q &c to % VIC
tory.
Monday night the local boys turn
ed tables by starting out with a tie
and ending with % to 20 victory.
The craftsmanship showed by Pasco
students Monday evening was very
poor, with continual booing Of the
referees and Of the local players. AS
for the local student body there was
more pep and enthusiasm shown
during these two games than there
has been for some time. This was
probably due to the new zip and pep
Of the volunteer yell queen, Lois
Giard.
Our second string came out on
top with Q good showing In the
game Friday with score OF 80 to
%. They did not do quite as well as
the game Monday as the Pasco Sec
ond string won by five points with
q 81 to 80 score.
The local five also played Mar
quette at Yakima Saturday eve
ming. They seemed to take out re-
venge on this team after the de-
feat Friday and came out victorious
with q - to IL score. They showed
great improvement with Oliver be-
ing high point man with l6 points
and Jones following with 10 points
The lineup for Ill three games
was practically the same with OIL
yer and Jones, forwards; Reymore
center and Smalley and Campbell
guards.
