commodity and distributors have

of securing wide distribution.
From an operating standpoint
our cherry deal has been working
out nicely. Our brining plant at
Sunnyside has been going at full
capacity the entire season. This
has enabled us to take full advan-
tage of salvaging for our grow
ers all cherries that were too I'M

been too small in size to place
on the fresh market. Occasional
lots that have been over-ripe have
been placed on our processing
contracts. This three-way distri-
button has enabled up to keep In
good position from day to day.
Zine weather, cooperation Of
all of our grower members In har-
vesting and delivering and speedy
handling through our district

most excellent cherry deal. Our
deliveries in the markets have
been very fine. Repeat orders

College 10 Study
Electric Uses

Research on the agricultural
domestic use of electric power will
be increased here at the State
college in. accord with q memor-
andum Of understanding recently
signed between the College and
the Bonneville Power administra-
ton, it was announced by Presi-
dent Wilson Compton.
Purpose Of the studies is to en-
large the markets for power and
to serve industry and agriculture
in the Pacific Northwest. They
are m q d e possible, President
Compton said by funds allotted ia
the Bonneville Power administra-
ton for studies on the develop
ment of new power markets. Part
of the funds will be used to de-
fray the costs of research in this
field on approved protects to be
undertaken by the State college
and other institutions of higher
learning in the Northwest.
Studies here by the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station and the
Industrial Research division will
include the use of electric welders
on the farm, corrosion character
istics of irrigation pipe, improved
designs for low-cost walk-in re-
frigerators, sprinkler irrigation
and the drying of cranberries fol-
market.

June Is, site of present Kansas
City, where the river turned
abruptly north. On July 4, the ex-
petition was in the vicinity of
present Atchison, Kan. The day
was observed with a shot from
the cannon, there being no time
for further observance. Fourth of
July creek and Independence
creek were named in honor of the
day. In the evening they fired a
shot from the cannon and issued
grog to the men, who drank a
toast to the Stars and Stripes.
Platte river mouth was passed
on July 81. Progress was slow and
laborious. Fierce storms as
sailed them, sandbars, driftwood
and snags INSTRUCTED the river.
One night they had a narrow es-
cape when the sandbar on which
they were camped disintegrated
beneath them. On July 80 they
made camp on high bluff over
looking the Missouri river to await
a party of Indians. Three days
later q group Of Ottoe and Mis-
souri, Indians arrived and, on the
following day, council was held,
the pipe of peace smoked, and
medals and presents were given to
the chiefs. The place where the
council was held was named Coun-
Gil Bluff by Clark, and was about
twenty miles north of present Om-
aha, Nebraska.

Record

Kennewick people as whole
and cherry raisers in particular
can point with pride to our cherry
production. This years crop was
excellent and cherries were OF
super quality according to COM
ments we have heard.
Local plants report that SUI
ficient help was available so that
the packing and processing was
carried out without too many
bitches. A large number Of these
workers came from Richland on
special buses. Fine cooperation
was shown by all concerned.
Sales Manager Paul Lancaster
of the Big Y writing in the re-
cent issue of the Big Y Bulletin
said:
"This years cherry distribution
is the most remarkable on record.
Up to this date 1924 carloads Of
cherries have been forwarded to
1873 markets. The first car Of
Northwest cherries rolled to mar

CHAPTER Z
Five Gents IN Acre

After Livingston ana monroe
had signed the treaty for the pur-
chase of Louisiana, they COM
menced to inquire as to just what
they had bought, but nobody
seemed to be able to tell them.
The exact boundaries of Louisiana
were rather indefinite but, roughly
they extended from the Gulf OF
Mexico to Canada and from the
Mississippi river to the Rocky
mountains.
Louisiana at that time included
all of the present states OF Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Iowa, North and
South Dakota and Nebraska, and
most Of Louisiana, KanSas, Okla
homa,. Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
tana and Minnesota. This territory
covered an area Of 883, 072 square
miles, containing SIS, Ice, $50 acres.
It was an area larger than Eng
land, Ireland, Germany, France,
Spain and Portugal combined, and
nearly as large as the original Is
Colonies.
The price paid for Louisiana
was 81, 250, 900 in bonds, with In
terest at six percent, plus the
claims of American citizens
against France for goods seized
and damage done by French pri-
vateers, amounting to s., 750, 900.
When all the claims plus the bonds
and interest, had been paid, it
brought the total cost of Louis
lana to over $28, 500, 900, or q trifle
over five cents an acre for one of
the richest sections on the North
American continent. It was a price
which would make a real estate
agent turn green with envy.
President Jefferson's dream was
about to come true. All obstacles
had been removed. There was no
more need for secrecy. Captain
Meriwether Lewis, twenty-nine
years of age, private secretary to
President jefferson, was chosen to
head the expedition to the far
West. He was tall, blonde, of a
serious, almost morose, disposition
He chose as bis companion and
equal in rank William Clark, who
was thirty-three vars of age. Clark
was tall, red haired, and of a hap
py nature. This was q young
mans expedition and its members
were chosen with great care, for
theirs was a serious responsibility.
After some delays, the expedi-
ton left its camp on the Dubois
or Wood river, opposite the mouth
of the Missouri, a few miles above
st. Louis, on May IA, 1904, and
proceeded by. boats up the muddy
tide of the Missouri. The party
had one keelboat, fifty-five feet
long, drawing three feet Of water,
and equippAdswith a large square
sail, small cannon called q swivel.
Besides this boat there were two
pirogues. A pirogue was q boat
shaped like q flatiron, with a
pointed prov, a square stern, a
flat bottom. It carried four oars
and was steered with q long
sweep. It also carried q sail which
was used when the winds were
favorable. According to the jour
mails of Sergeants Glass; and Ord
way, there were forty-three men
in the party including Lewis and
Clark.
The junction Of Missouri and
Kansas rivers was reached on

store in Watertown, New York, the year

not only recognized great idea when he
saw it, but knew how to put it to work,
was Frank Winfield Woolworth. BY June
1879 he was beginning a bright page in
American mercantile history -. simply

Now, there are more than 1000 Wool
