ARMY BOARD CONSIDERS
kUTz REPORT MONDAY
Adverse Opinion on Opening of Upper
Columbia Will be Opposed by
Commercial Bodies

When United States Senator Miles
Poindexter of Spokane, and Capt.
Fred McDermott of Kettle Falls,
Wash, appear before the board of
United States river and harbor en-.
gineers in Washington, D. c., on
December II, to urge the rejection
of the adverse report by Mayor
Kutz regarding the improvement
Of the Columbia river between the
Snake river and Wenatchee, they
will be fortified with kilograms from
officers of the Inland Empire Fed
Grafton of Commercial Clubs, rep
resenting a membership of $1,000
in eastern Washington and Oregon
and northern Idaho, giving adequate
reasons for the opening OF the river
from the boundary to the sea.
Robert J. Mclean, secretary Of
the Spokane chamber of commerce
and the Inland Empire organiza-
ton, who is member of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
said recently:
If the river is opened to navi-
cation the entire Columbia water
shed will furnish freight for the
Panama canal. This will mean an
i'm mense and ever. increasing busi-
ness between the interior and the
ports of the world, also that the
development of the Inland Empire
will 60 forward with a rush. It
means immediate increased activity
in agriculture, lumber and mining.
"Telegrams from every CONNER
cial club, board of trade and cham
Der OF commerce in the Inland En-
pire to Senator Poindexter and
other western members of congress
will show the board of engineers
that the entire country is interest
ed and that we desire immediate
and favorable action, notwithstand-
ing the report of the federal en-
gineer in charge of the Columbia
river above the mouth of the Snake
river. We should have the CO.
operation of every commercial or
ganization in Washington, Oregon.
Idaho and Montana in this project,
which involves the expenditure by
the government of $1,000, O,OOO."

MISS SMITH MARRlES

Miss Alma Smith left Tuesday
for Seattle where she was met by
Mrs. W. J. Eakin. The Eakin
home was the scene of quiet little
home wedding Wednesday when
Miss Smith and Virgil Robinson, of
Portland, were united in marriage
in the presence of few friends.
After the wedding Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson left for the groom's home
in Portland, where they will reside
in the future.
Miss Smith has been a resident
of kennewick for the past eight
years and is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Smith of the Gar
den Tracts. She attended school
here and last year was a student in
the Walla Walla high school. Dur
Ing the past two years she has been

One-half of our population are
farmers; and the farmer is no longer
a joke. 1t is fine thing to see a
farmer crank up his automobile and
go to town and collect his rents,
and this is just what the farmers
are doing all over the United States.
In the West the farmers are the
real capitalists. And the farms
have always supplied most of the
brain and sinew for the cities.
Land in America, however, has
been like the forests. We have had
so much of both that we have been
wateful, extravagant and slipshod.
The National Soil Fertility League,
made up of strong and earnest men,
who are working without any aim
for immediate personal profit, are
showing the world how to double
soil production.
Around East Aurora there arc
men who raise one hundred bushels
of potatoes to the acre. Then right
alongside of these are farmers who
raise two hundred fifty or three
hu ndred bushels to the acre. The
difference in the yield is not diff
ference in the soil, sunshine and
water. It is simply difference in
the brain of the farmer.
The cry Of, Back to the land!"
is swelling chorus. l suppose
that automobiles and good roads
have a deal to do with this-not to
mention trolley-cars, bicycles, mo-
torcycles, and cheap communications
tickets.
Men are living longer and living
better now than ever before. The
chief reason of this is that we are
getting on friendly terms with
Nature. We are a part of Nature

ELECTION NOT
Even CLOSE
Campaign Ends with Selection Of
Citizens Ticket by Generous
Majorides

The entire Citizens ticket, con.
sisting of S. M. Lockerby for may
or, G. CARRIER, I. L. Fisher and c.
B. Hayden for councilmen; G.. L.
Holcomb for attorney, T. J. Wright
for clerk and J. L. Johnson for
treasurer were elected by large
majorities at the municipal election
last Tuesday. J. J. Reed was
reelected councilman at large,
without opposition, being endorsed
by both tickets.
The workers for the independent
ticket were well organized and made
hard campaign in the effort to
reverse the vote by which their
candidates were defeated at the
primary. The contest, which grew
trifle acrimonious during the last
days of the campaign, centered on
the Independents, attempt to re-elect
H. A.Bier mayor and J. J. Rud-
kin councilman. G. N. Calhoun,
who focked by himself, also
ran" for clerk.
Uncertainty as to whether the in
dependent ticket, defeated at the
primary and nominated in caucus,
should be printed on the official
ballot was the cause of having two
sets of ballots printed. The first
lot carried both tickets, and it was
not until nearly midnight on Mon
day that the attorney and clerk
reached the conclusion that they
were in wrong" and ordered the
poor sleepy printers to get busy and
print another set, carrying the
names of the citizens candidates
only.
The Independents, being left off
theballot, had to resort to 'stickers"
and on these they ran Bier for may
or, and Rudkin, CARRIER and Hay
don for councilmen, dropping
Church and Weisel whom they had
nominated originally.
The vote of All was not as heavy
as was expected, considering the
feeling that had been aroused and
the rustling done by both sides in
getting the voters to the poles.
Following is the vote:
Mayor-Lockerby 24O, Bier 1862.
Councilman at Large-Reed 2S4.
Councilmen-Garber 376, Hay
don 27S, Fisher 254, Rudkin 152.
Attorney-HOlcOmb 312.
Treasurer-Johnson 1862.
Clerk-Wright 246, Calhoun 1919.
Scattering votes were registered
for Moulton for attorney and Wei
sci and Church for councilmen.
H. A. Bier, w. A. Morain and
J. J. Rudkin are the members of
the city administration to retire OH
the first of the year. The new coun-
Gil will be made up as follows: S.
NJ. Lockerby, mayor; J. J. Reed,
councilman at large; G. NJ. Annis,
A. w. Tompkins, R. H. Anderson,
G. CARRIER, |. l.. Fisher, C. B. Hay
don, councilmen.

TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN
THE USE OF ELECTRICITY

The census bulletins being issued
from time to time, tabulating as they
do information about various indus
trial, social, scientific, religious and po-
litical subjects, furnish a current ref
erence data that is enlightening and
valuable. They constitute upon the
whole a compact history Of the prog
ress which the country is making in
various directions. A bulletin sent
out last week, for instance, indicates
the tremendous progress made during
the last decade in the utilization of
electricity as a motive power.
During the period extending from
1899 to 1909 the value of machinery
and apparatus used in this country for
the generation and application of
electricity increased from $105, 1872. 900
to $243, 967 900. With the introduc-
tion of electrical machinery a new
nomenclature, with which the general
public is only slowly becoming famil-
lar, has been introduced. Dynamos,
dynamos, motor generators and sew
eral scores of other terms have made
their appearance in the later editions
of the dictionaries. The subject Of
power motors, which was only 3 1904
in 1899, had reached up to PA, 1913 in
1909, an increase of $50 per cent dur
ing the decade.
A satisfactory storage battery for
motive power uses has but recently
been put in use, but that the applica
ton of tEis form of energy to practical
uses has at last been achieved is indi-
Gated by the fact that, whereas storage
batteries to the value of $3,679,000
were turned out in 1899, the value of
the output in 1909 was $10,612,00. The
output of small motors for automobiles,
motor boats, fans and various other
special uses has increased enormously.
Truly we have been claiming up the
lightning during the past ten years in
an astonishing way.-Baltimore Ameri-
can.
