First in Close Meet

The track meet between Kenne-
wick and Mac Hi was extremely
close, the final result was in doubt
until after the last event, the relay
was run. Marks and times were
exceptionally good for dual meet.
The meet which was held on the
Mac Hi field saw Kennewick cap
ture first place in the half mile,
high hurdle, low hurdle, broad
jump, shot put and iavelin. Bill
Helm turned In first in both the
high and low hurdles and second in
the l00-and 200-yard dashes. Bruce
Kenyon had his own way in running
the half mile in the excellent time
Of minutes and 4 seconds, while
Merle Wright out-jumped the field
to win the broad jump with q leap
OF 1917 feet, and Walt Ehni heav-
ed the -shotput q distance of q feet
four inches. Bob O'Neil won the
Javelin with q throw Of lat feet
8 inches. Saturday afternoon sew
eral Of the track team took part in
the Yakima Valley Invitation Track
meet at Toppenish. Bruce Ken
yon, star half-miler, was unable to
be there as he was in Spokane tax
ing the entrance examination to

tition was extremely stiff, Kenne-
wick made q good showing. This in
dicateS that Kennewick should have
two or three men this year who will
be good enough to make the state

freezing capacity at To-

Peak of the asparagus shipments
by rail was probably reached this
week when as high as five car
loads a day were rolled from the
local stations. This does not In
clude the truck shipments. Grass
this year IS Of the finest quality the
district has ever seen growers find
ing it difficult to keep the weight
of the regular 12-pound boxes down
to within even two pounds of that
weight. The individual stalks are
fat and straight and but little evil
dence Of weevil infestation Is seen.
ALL grass, both packed and in the
Tugs for the cannerles, is being
washed and proceeded this year.
Ice water is poured over the boxes
and the field temperatures is re-
duced to as low as "a degrees be-
fore being loaded.
At the Big Y new equipment for
this operation was put into opera
ton this week for the first time.
The machine will use as much as
Is tons Of ice a day during the
hot weather.
The Y has also greatly enlarged
its quick freezing facilities, new
compressor to be started this week
increasing the capacity Of the
plant by 160 percent. The new
sharp" room is 75x75 feet and the
temperature can be lowered to fif-
teen degrees below zero. Equipment
last year was only able to get five
above in the freezing tunnel"
Machinery for the new cannery
has been arriving this week, the
big boiler and couple Of retorts,
and other machinery is placed. The
local cannery is starting on grass
