City Ups Budget
But May Also Cut
The Tax Levy
Back tax payments
provide surplus fund
for operations

City taxpayers are going TO get q
break on next years tax statements,
likely. Although the preliminary
budget calls for about ten thousand
dollars greater cost OF operating the
city for the coming twelve months
than for the past year. payment Of
back, delinquent taxes, especially
from the railroads, have piled up q
surplus Of $4,000 in the bank which
the city couldn't spend until the end
Of the current year. Besides that,
the city had appropriated some six
Thousand dollars TO further the
street oiling program. Because they
couldn't get the oil, this money is
still unspent, too. However, in the
new budget, this item has been kept
in tact, in case the material becomes
available this year, which is not
likely under the conditions.
Nearly every department of the
city has had its budget increased in
the preliminary estimate. One OF
the largest includes an allowance
for salary increase for the librar-
ian. The police department also
comes in for an increase as well as
the park board. However, in the
final budget, 1t Is more than likely
that the preliminary figures will be
pared considerably before final pas
sage.
With the surplus already In the
bank, the city can either proceed
with some Of the improvements long
hoped for or in case these cannot be
made during the war period, the levy
may be reduced. The item carried in
last years budget for payment for
attendance at the council meetingg
amounting to about a thousand doll
lars, was whitfield in two when it was
discovered that the councilmen could
not vote themselves salaries while N
office. This fall half the group VIII
have their terms expire. The new
men-or they themselves, If they am
reelected, can be paid.
While the budget making occupied
most OF the time Tuesday night, tHlt

will prove its worth in the years e
come. Ut Is a law which permits thu

Little Interest Is
Shown in
Tuesday Primary
Congressional scrap is
only prospect for
excitement; 5 out

Tuesday is primary election day.
Candidates for the various congress-
ional and county offices will be Sc
lected. About the only real scrap
any where along the line will be for
Congressman Knute Hill;s job-four
opponents having filled against G1im.
The legislative scrap turned out
to be a dud, for there are but two
republicans filed and one democrat,
with two positions to be filled.
On the county ticket there are but
three contests: On the non-partisan
ticket for school superintendent
there are two candidates.; for sher-
Tiff there are three candidates, two
republicans and one democratic, and
one each for assessor.
Polls will he in the usual places
and will be. open from eight to eight.
Residents in town are warned to re-
member that there are now four vot-
ing precincts inside the city limits
First ward precinct will vote at the
city hall: second precinct at the old
Chew garage, third ward at the STAN
dard Lumber office and the fourth
precinct at the Legion hall in Ohm
sted addition.
There never has been an election
for county officers in this section
when there was such an apathy ex-
pressed over the candidates. A very
small turnout is anticipated as a re-
suit. ~-.s IL. -. -.

.PUD Attorney
Tells Other Side
of Power Bill
Says unified, orderly
development of power
is necessity

Two weeks ago, Allan Smith, a
representative from the power COM
pany,: told the local chamber of COM
merce that the pending Smith Bone
power authority bill was terrible, un-
American and socialistic and should
be killed. He urged that hearings on
the bill be held in the Pacific North
west where opponents to the meas
ure could be heard.
The following week speaker for
the opposite side of the question was
engaged. He was to fly over from
Seattle in time to he present at the
chamber of commerce luncheon
but failed to show up. Investigation
disclosed that he flew to Pasco,
found no difficulty in landing on the
fine new port there, but had lot
OF difficulty in getting away until
yards and yards of red tape had
been cut-too late to appear here.
To-day, Jack e.. Gluck, attorney
for the PUD now operating on the
coast, was the speaker. He said the
bill wasn't nearly so terrible as we
had been told, that it merely pro-
Nided for the orderly and efficient
management and operation of the
power resources of the Pacific
Northwest and that the result would
be better and cheaper service and
that everyone, including the power
employees would be the gamer, in
Guiding also the ultimate consumers.
The only ones to suffer, he said,
would be the eastern holding conn
panies which year after year are
milking the operating companies.
He suggested that before the local
chamber took any definite action,
one way or the other, that commit
tee of open-minded men he appoint
ed to study the bill, observe the OPP
Grafton of the PUBS and municipal
plants and then make plain, UNI
vanished report.

FLYERS Ball Team
Hangs Memorable
Season Record
To wind up season
with series with
Fort Lewis soldiers
By ]. SULLIVAN

Ensign Ken Peters, athletic Off
Ger and assistant manager of the
Pasco Flyers, announced that with
the coming series with Fort Lewis,
the Flyers would wind up the cur
rent season. AS the Sailors hang
up their toys, they also go down in
record as hanging UP one of the most
brilliant seasons that this writer can
remember.
This outfit, started and managed
by Edo Vanni, started out from
nothing, when Vanni and Levi Nc
CoTmack formed the nucleus of the
squad, bolstered by players from the
Western International League, the
Northwest League, and various semi
pro circles around the state. As the
season progressed, the roster grew,
and as 1t grew, the fame of the up
and coming sailor aggregation did
likewise. Famous baseball names
ioined up, such as Don White, from
the San Francisco Seals; Johnny
Bittner, formerly with the Hollywood
Stars; and the terrific five from the
Portland Beavers; Danny Escobar,
Dan Amaral, Levi McC orrnack, Mar
" Martinez and Al Wright. Wright
did not join the club until late i'm
the season, but promises to bolster
the team NEXT year.
To start things off, the newly
found Flyers lost their first three
games, Hunk Anderson, the 20
game winner, lost his only game of
t1e year. After these losses the
Sailors really went ito town, sflellack-
ing practically every worthy team
arolnd the state, while winning 25
straight. Universal Printers from
seattle finally stopped them, but that
was just monetary sidetrack, as
tney have turned right around and
won u games without a loss.
IN this latter spree, the high pow
efed Spokane Indians fell easy prey
70 the Flyers, and then came the
game of the year, the game which
sannl and his nine had patiently
waited and worked for. On August
y, the Sailors returned to Seattle, to
DICKS Stadium for the much publi-
e1ed game with the Seattle Rain
.ers. Naturally, the Rainiers were
,'eaVy favorites TO come out on top
ucatse of the fact that they had
payed so many more games, but
'annfs boys still had something to
say about that. 1t took 10 innings of
e oest baseball seen in the park
gu year, but the Suds finally broke
uoWn and admitted defeat. But
sen, Johnny Bittner was one Of the
ues1 hurlers in the Coast League be
lure Joining the Navy, and the base
ueS were few and far in between.
sor 70 three was the score Of that
: 'Vorlc game, and that is the way
- WILL go down in records, some
lung to remember long after the
iS and japs are a thing of the
past.
NOW the season IS drawing to a
and even if the Flyers lost all
Their remaining games, never
.Va'o the glory of such a season, as
w one just past, be taken away
Them. Thirty-six wins and 4
ses. That is something for the
.tyers of 1913, and all service teams
20 shoot at.

Selecting
Fruit
Varieties
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Editor. The Detroit Tine'

. FOLLOWING the appearance
= in the Times Of a series of
articles on fruit trees-how TO
buy Them and how 10 choose
them-there was a flood of let
ers asking for advice on specific
varieties.
Here an interview with a
man who has grown fruit for
both business and hobby for 20
years - Mr.. II. w. Bryan of
Troy, Mich. His experiments
will serve as a guide to many
new fruit tree owners.
Mr.. Bryan says he tries most
everything new in the fruit line
from a hobby standpoint but
finds that many innovations.
though fine for the home fruit
grower. are not worth while
commercially.
He obtains cions from va
rious state experiment stations
and CRAFTS them onto one OF his
60 trees, thus being able in a
few years 10 see the results
most people must wait longer TO
observe.
