BENTON IS EXEMPTED

The lower house Monday passed
the Truax bill which would allow
citizens living in territory on the
edge of one county to annex them
selves by vote to an adjoining terri
tory.
AS passed, however the bill will
not effect Benton county and will
not make it possible for the west
side to annex a strip of Yakima
county to aid Prosser in a possible
county seat fight of the future. The
bill has been amended to effect only
counties of the twelfth, thirteenth
and fourteenth classes, and as Ben
ton is in the eighteenth class it is in
no way interested unless the senate
should remove his proviso. Rep
resentative Rowland voted for the
bill.

WANT HELP IN LIGHT CASE

The city council of Pasco thinks
that the rates charged by the Pacific
Power & Light Co. for their cluster
and arc lights are too high, and they
have filed petition for hearing
with the public service commission,
to be held in that city on the 29th
of this month. In order to lend
strength to their cause they have
asked that the city of Kennewick
join them in their complaint.
When the communication was
read at the meeting of the local
council last Tuesday night, it was
agreed that the rates in force in Ken
newick were too high, compared
with other places in the northwest,
and, as the franchise granted to the
P. P. & L. Co. at this place carries
the provision that we shall enjoy
rates as low as any other community
served by the corporation, a COM
mlttee was appointed to investigate
the complaint made by the city of
Pasco and report at the next regu-
lar meeting.

CITY GETS HALF MILE

City Clerk Wright received this
week plat Of the shore lands, which
was made under the direction of the
war department, last summer. I'm
der the terms of the dedication the
city of Kennewick receives for pub
lie use some twenty-three hundred
feet of river front. This amount of
property is divided into three Sec
tions, the first of which is a strip
of land three hundred and fifty feet
along on each side of Ninth street.
At the foot of Washington street a
place four hundred feet long on each
side of the street has been reserved
for the public, as has an equal sized
place at the docks.

MORE ABOUT THE PARK

1t is barely possible that the city
OF Kennewick will purchase s park
site. An offer has been made to
the city of tract of nearly six acres
in the Garden Tracts. The prop
osition comes from Mrs. Mertes and
the consideration asked is $4,000.
The land in question lies nicely
and has trees upon it of such size
as to make a fine start toward a
park. The members of the council
looked favorably upon the offer, but
want to hear from other property
holders, if any there be, who have
sites to offer. A committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the PROPOSE
tion offered by Mrs. Mertes and any
other plot that may come to their
notice.

any one OF the strawberry growers
who should join the Association. to
sever his membership from the AS
citation on July 1st, 1913, if the ser.
vice given was not satisfactory.
1t seemed that no fairer terms
could be offered and the assembled
farmers unanimously passed a reso.
luton to join the Association on the
terms proposed.

But few OF the strawberry growers

HORSE HEAVEN PROJECT
GETS KLICK|TAT WATER
By Compromise, Power Company Pro-
moters Yield Rights Without
Cost to Inigationias
Especial from Olympia }

A compromise has been reached
on the Wendell Rowland bill, pro-
hibiting the sale in other states of
water power generated in Washing
ton, that will be immensely to the
benefit of the Horse Heaven pro-
ject.
Wilbur S. Yearsely, of Spokane,
promoter of the Klickitat and White
Salmon river power projects, has
agreed to give up all his rights in
the Klickitat project, without COM
pensation, provided the bill is killed
and he is permitted to go ahead
with the White Salmon project and
sell his power to the city of Port
land.
This compromise has been agreed
to and the bill will be sent back to
the committees on irrigation and
arid lands, to be indefinitely post
poned.
The result of the compromise will
be that the Horse Heaven irrigation
project will gain sole right to use
the Klickitat water without further
cost, whereas if the bill were to be
passed it would be necessary to re-
imburse the Yearsley interests for
expenditures made in securing rip
arian rights and for other purposes,
amounting to approximately $780,
600.
The White Salmon water is much
less in demand for irrigation pur-
poses and it is claimed the use of
this water for power will not inter-
fere seriously with any other inter-
ests.
After the water code is passed." !"
said Representative H. K. Rowland,
in discussing the compromise,
there will be no further need for
such a law as we planned, since use
of water for irrigation purposes is
preferred to use for power purposes.
I regard the compromise as the best
thing for everybody under the cir
cumstances.

Then R. L. Banta, who has hopes
of one of these days becoming a
formidable business rival of Klaw &
Erlanger, got to his feet and made
speech. "Kennewick right now
is at the low ebb of her affairs, and
the tide is about to turn. Right

show to the world her true colors.
| can't see anything but a rosy
future for Kennewick. We can

wick. Now we must all work to-
gether-not each one for the par
ticular and private interests of him
self-but for the general good of
all. Taken in this light, this Or
ganization will be a blessing, I am
sure, to Kennewick. We want every
one who has at heart the best interests
of the community to get into this Or
ganization and push the car of pro-
gress along" He decried the fact
that business men of Kennewick paid
rent, in the majority of cases, to peo-
pie who lived in other places; that
the place had the appearance to an
outsider of but temporary abiding
place. He thought that we should
give the town a permanent aspect by
paving and making parks.
Frank Emigh who was elected an
ornery" member, said that he
thought there was too much talk on
the dark side of things, that we
should look and talk more of the
best things in the community. He
said, You speak of helping the
farmer-as if he really needed help.
He don't. Pm a farmer and have

GET APPROPRIATION
FOR BRIDGE LOCATION
Proposed Span Definitely Fixed at This
Point-Other Bridge Bills NAV
Get the AK
Especial from Olympia.) }

Four thousand dollars for loca-
of a site for a bridge across the COL
umbia river between Pasco and
Kennewick was secured in the gen.
eral public highway appropriations
bill through the efforts of Represen-
tatives Rowland and Horrigan.
The bill, as passed by both houses
OF the legislature, however, will re-
suit in definitely fixing Kennewick
as the point at which the bridge
must be built, for the bill gives
no discretion to the highway de-
partment in this matter, but in
structs the commissioner to select a.
site for bridge between Kenne-
wick and Pasco."
MAY VETO BRIDGE BILL
The lower house of the legislature
has passed every bridge bill intro
duced at this session of the legisla-
ture with the exception of the Ken
newick-Pasco bridge. Included in
the number of new spans provided
in the series of bills are the million
dollar Vapcouver-Portland bridge.
the 100000 Newport bridge and
the $4,000 Clarkston-Lewiston
bridge.
This wholesale passage of bridge
bills is likely, however, to do the
communities interested little good
as it is freely charged that every
one was passed, not on its merits,
but by series of trades and Gov.
Lister is expected to veto every bill.
1t is extremely doubtful if the bills
can be repassed over the veto.
In many ways it may prove better
that the Kennewick- -Pasco bill was
allowed to sleep in committee this
session in case that public senti-
ment is aroused against the other
bridge plans to such an extent that
may prevent their passage at sue
ceeding session of the legislature.

WANTS FURTHER
MONEY TRUST QUIZ
Representative Henry Offers
Bill to Pave Way to Revision

Representative Henry of Texas chair
man of the House committee on rules
and one of the warmest friends of Will
liam j. Bryan in Congress, today intro
duced bill to- amend the banking laws
with a view to further investigation of
the money trust. His bill would make
banking associations subject to the visi-
torial powers by exercise or direction of
Congress, or of either house Of Con-
i-ress.
Mr.. Henry made this explanation of the
sweeping character of his bill:
The introduction of this bill means
that L think further investigation of the
money trust should be Immediately
pressed The Pujo committee barely
scratched the surface of the facts under
lying the concentration, of control Of
money and credit.
When they undertook to go into that
subject the controller of the currency
the mere creature of the law, perched
himself behind the statute which vested
in him and the courts exclusively all
vlsitorial powers and denied to the
investigating committee all access to
his records and those of the banks al
though the committee asked for moth
ing except touching transactions be-
yond million dollars Hence without
access to such records. the Pujo COM
mittee was powerless to completely ex-
