The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1912-08-23
AN ARGUMENT THAT
CANNOT Be REFUTED

The big factors that have been paramount in the up
building Of the city of Kennewck the very best
why Kennewick should be chosen the permanent
county seat of this county,
Chief among these is the fact that Kennewick has
transportation facilities the equal of which not many cities
in the state can boast
The capital of any and every county should be located
where it will be most accessible to the majority of the
people living within that county, With three railroads
and the river to sev seventy per cent of the people Of
this county who have county business to transact would
prefer to transact it at Kennewck at minimum expend
ure of time and money! instead of being forced to travel
forty miles past Kennewick their natural destination.
The people of this county have never had the privilege
of saying where they would prefer to have the county
seat located When Yakima county divided, Prosser
then the most important town in the county, made
newick was mere village and development throughout
the east side had hardly begun.
The passing Of the years, however, has mighty
change The center of population has moved steadily and
rapidly toward the east side of the county and while
Prosser and its tributary territory has been marking tme
the development and gain in population Of the Columbia
River districts has been phenomenal.
So the time has arrived for the correction of that
mistake Of the early legislature which did not foree the
splendid growth which Kennewck and all the eastern ter
rtory bound to make And it is going to be corrected
very decisively.
Every reasonable argument points to Kennewick as
the permanent county seat of Benton county, No arg-
men at all has yet been brought FORTH can be-
the useless and silly waste in time and money necessary
to the maintenance of the county capital the undevel-
oped west side

JUVENILE ENTERTAINERS COMING

A company of 26 children from
the Des Moines, WASH, Orphanage
will appear at the Kennewick Opera
House on Wednesday evening of
next week, August 2Sth. They will
put on an entertainment consisting
of vaudeville numbers and concert
numbers by brass band. The ages
of the performers range from six to
sixteen years.
The very fattering press notices
shown by their advance agent would
indicate that many of the children
are performers of real merit and the
program will be far more entertain
ing than the usual run of juvenile
work.
The money made on these tours
goes to make the Des Moines home
self supporting so the concert will
be doubly worthy OF patronage.
