Taylor and Reynolds McReady had
confessed defrauding the Conrad

The chief said Taylor confessed
taking dividend check for $4,000
from the mail box of an aged New

with the knowledge the check was in
the mail. Taylor related, the chief
said, of how he went to the Conrad
Line offices on the pretense of buying
a ticket for Europe just short time
before the boat sailed.
He explained, Rawlinson quoted
the confession, that the check was the
only money he had and it was vital
for him to catch the boat.

U.S.D.A. to Test
$500 Head Cattle

DR.. L. L. Rush Of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry Of the y. 8. De
partment of Agriculture, has arriv-
ed in Kennewick to work on "area
testing" of the county for Bangs
Disease. His work is the same as
that of DR.. T. d. Rosenoff, who Is
working out of Prosser.
Benton county. is the first county
Of the state in which "area testing
has been started. DR.. Rosenoff in
itiated this work here about three
weeks ago.
Approximately $500 head Of cattle
are in the county to be tested. It Is
expected that within q few years
time the losses to the cattle owners
from this disease will be reduced
similarly to those Of T. B., which
the last test showed to be less than
one quarter of one percent.
In order to save time for the
veterinarians in the field, applica-
lions for tests should be made per-
sonally to Waldo w. Skuse, county
agent, on Tuesdays at the Court
House in Prosser, or personally or
by mail at the County Extension
office in KenneWick.

Park Board Urges
Extension of Plot
Along Canal Banks
More Trees and Lake
Suggested; Donors Are
Extended Thanks

Many people in our own commun-
ity and many who live in distant
towns are interested in the Ken
newick city park. During the sum-
mer not a week goes by without
some party or organization meet
ing In the cool shade OF the park
for refreshments and picnicking.
The city park is the one green,
cool spot in town where the worn
and weary can sit down to rest and
refresh himself. Everyone in Ken
newick is proud Of the park, glad to
contribute to its welfare and wish
that IL could be extended to include
both sides Of the canal from the
bridge on Kennewick Avenue to the
bridge on Washington st. with rows
Of trees on both banks OF the canal
and a beautiful artificial lake in
the area not now under grass near
the Washington school. This would
make park system that would last
the community well into the future
and one that would be a show place
to visitors and prospective residents.
AS an evidence of the wide inter-
est in the park the following con-
tributions to the park welfare are
reported by the park board this
year.
Cash-Alma Circle, $40; Rainbow
Girls So; Pink and Green Club $3.50.
Other donations are: one table by
the Fourth Friday club, painting OF
the entrance sign by Mr.. Nadig,
lumber by the Standard Lumber Co.,
oil for the entrance by Walt
Knowles, hauling by Terrell Trans
Ter Co. and use OF oil barrel by Carol
Pratt, grass seed by Farmers Ex-
change. loan Of shovels by A. r.
Brown, concrete pipe by Reese Con-
crete Pipe Co.. painting of Fourth
Of July signs by George Stradford,
tile by the Columbia Irrigation Co.
and many flowers and bulbs by so
large a number of people that we
couldn't remember all the names.
MIR. Rogers and the high school boys
built a new fire place In the park
this spring and It is widely used by
the young folks who use the park
for evening parties.
There very likely are many more
contributors to the park that have
not been recorded. It is the pur-
pose OF this article to give full
credit to all showing q civic inter-
est in the park. II any individual
or organization has been missed IN
this seasons list, a telephone mes
sage to the park board win correct
the matter at once.
1t was with deep regret that the
council recently accepted the resig-
nation OF I. N. Mueller from the
park board. MIR. Mueller gave val
liable time and advice to the park
and his services will be greatly miss
ed.

Producers Facing
Tomato Surplus
Appeal for Help

Washington and other western
states tomato growers today sought
chainstore aid In meeting a surplus
crop crisis.
The Washington growers appeal
was voiced by G. r. Moe OF wapato
who heads a sterilization committee
formed by growers In the Oroville.
Yakima valley and Pasco-Kenne-
wick districts.
This committee submitted a for
NAL resolution to the Western States
Chain Grocers association. whose
members have thousands Of retail
outlets In IL western states, asking
aid by featuring canned tomatoes
In q producer-consumer campaign.
Crop Above Average
Federal Market News service re-
ports indicate the 1897 Washington
tomato crop will be q percent
greater than the average crop dur
ing the last five years. The 1896
crop was IL percent larger than that
Of 1885. Current western warehouse
stocks Of canned tomatoes are more
than twice as large as usual.
The combination Of these factors
Is real cause for concern" Moe said.
The market for fresh tomatoes IN
Washington is fairly well fixed from
year to year. Whenever We have q
surplus, we rely upon canning to
eliminate 1t. However, this year We
not only face an unusually large
fresh crop, but there u . great
carry-over Of canned tomatoes on
hand In large producing areas
Other Grower Act
We certainly hope We can OBJ
tain the aid Of the chains quick
facilities, which should be
as beneficial to US as they have
been to producers OF pears. peaches,
lamb, beef and other farm prod
ucts."
Serving with Moe on the WASH
ington committee are b. J. Munden
Of Oroville and Harry Hampton OF
Hover. Similar action has been
taken by growers In Oregon, Cali
fornia and other western tomato
growing states.

2-HOur Parking
Rule Don't Bring
City Much Money

As a revenue producer, the new
two hour parking ordinance has
proven to be q dud, according to a
report by Chief OF Police Mitchell
Kershaw. During the month OF
July the city only garnered in four
dollars from this source-and three
OF the four came from one mani
Way back In the fourth grade, the
teachers made an effort to explain
the difference between sitting and
setting. Sam weiggands, genial
poultryman, who conducts the Twin
City Poultry Farm just south OF
town, finds too that there Is q diff
ference between settings. In the
spring he sets his hens.
Along midsummer he himself sits
and lets his car set while he sits.
The first time he sat all afternoon
the parking limit ran out on his car,
he was nicked for q dollar In lieu
Of bail. The next time 1t cost him
two dollars. And now Sam parks
his car (such as It is) on a side
street when he comes to town to
hobnob with the city slickers.
Chief Kershaw says that people
generally are taking to the new
parking regulations in good humor
and the principal trouble he's hav-
ing is to get the kids to realize that
they mustn't park their bikes on the
main drag. He has wheeled a couple
Of them to the police station already
and they will all head that way II
they don't keep off the sidewalk.
