TWO FRIENDS IN SENATE
Senators Jones and Chamberlain are
Both Workers for the Columbia

By the reelection of Senator
Wesley L. Jones, of this state,
and Senator Geo. E. Chamber
lain, of Oregon, the open Colum-
bia river still has two staunch
supporters in the u. S. senate.
Although of opposite political
faith, Jones and Chamberlain
have always worked hand in
hand for appropriations for con-
tinuing the river improvement
work.
At the time the lump appro-
priation was passed as a sub
stitute for the rivers and har-
bors bill Senator Chamberlain
announced that one of his first
acts at the next session of con-
gress would be the introduction
of a measure to place the inn
provement work at the mouth
of the river on a continuing con-
tract basis.

Washington is Written i'm the
Dry Column by Majority
of About $4,000
KENNEWICK AND THE
COUNTY VOTE DRY
Every Precinct but Two in This
County Return Prohibition Leads
Oregon Also Dry

When the people of Benton
county voted Tues day al
most two to one for statewide
prohibition they put themselves
in the line of march which has
written Washington in the dry
column by a very decisive ma
jority. AS went Benton county,
so went the state. The county
had but two wet precincts, the
Highlands and Hover and the
state had but two wet counties,
King and Pierce.
Incomplete statewide returns
up to this morning showed that
the dries were leading by about
400 majority. AS all of the
anti-prohibition stro n g holds
had been heard from it is prob
able that the final count will in
crease this lead by several thou
sand. The figures this morning
totaled in round numbers, about
10000 dry to a little more than
115, 900 wet.
In Benton county the unof-
fetal count shows 1,572 dry and
824 wet. The total vote in the
three wards of Kennewick was
352 dry to 172 wet. Prosser
voted dry both by local option
and statewide prohibition. Pas
co is also in the procession with
a small dry margin.
This mornings reports indi-
cate that Oregon has voted dry
by about $4,000, the prohibition
forces having a lead of about
10000 outside of Multnomah
county. Colorado and Arizona
also voted to oust the saloons
but Ohio and California remain
ed in the wet column by decis-
i've majorities.

WORKING ON CANAL
Camps are Being Organized Around
Prosser on Sunnyside Extension

For two or three weeks past
laboring men have been coming
into town singly, doubly and in
droves. This has been caused
by the great amount of govern
ment work that is to be done in
this vicinity and the county road
contract having also something
to do with it. The reclamation
service already has two large
gangs at work enlarging the
Sunnyside canal, and it is said
that by the last of the week
there will be in the neighbor-
hood of 400 men employed in
the different camps near Pros
ser.
The contracts for the Benton
extension were opened last week
in Sunnyside, but as yet they
have not been let, but as soon as
this is done there will be work
for several hundred more men
as the contracts must be COM
pleted in 100 days.
Work on the Prosser-Benton
City road is under way and
considerable number of men are
also being employed there and
altogether there is more work
around Prosser than in any
place in the state.-Republican-
Bulletin.

Election returns from all
parts of the state indicate that
Initiative Measure No.13, known
as the eight-hour law, was snow
ed under. With one or two ex-
ceptions, every county in the
state voted strongly against it.
Interest in the prohibition meas
ure has tended to crowd out re-
suits of the vote on the other
initiative measures but it ap-
pears that nearly all of them
have failed.

With the exception Of county
treasurer, attorney and two
commissioners, the republican
ticket carried in Benton county
at Tuesdays election. The clos-
est, and probably the most hotly
contested race was between /. j.
Macomber, of Hanford and e. r.
Harper, of Prosser for the treas
urership. It was not until the
returns were received from the
last small precinct, that it was
determined that Mr.. Harper had
retained his Office by the small
lead Of nine votes. Last night,
friends of Mr.. Macomber were
confident of his election. He
was leading by Is votes with
the two small precincts of Col
umbia and Expansion to hear
from. Returns from these which
were received this morning gave
Harper 35 votes to Macomber's
IL.
Grant A. Stewards defeat Of
Knute Hill for the legislature,
was decisive, Stewart carrying
all the east end precincts but
two two small ones, and beating
Hill by four votes in the largest
ward of Prosser. With the ex-
ception of M. G. Dele, for clerk,
and ]. C. Syfford, for commits
sioner, who had no opposition,
A. H. Wheaton for assessor,
heads the republican ticket with
a big lead over B. F. Rupert. L.
L. Lynn auditor and Tt. Wright
for engineer went in by substan-
tial majorities. County After
ney III. III. Cole failed of re-elec-
ton by about so votes.
The personnel Of the board of
county commissioners will re-
main unchanged. Syfford in the
first district was unopposed and
Clements retained his seat in
the second as did Ward in the
third.
Owing to the lateness Of the
returns it is impossible to give
the vote by precincts in this
weeks issue, but they will be
printed in full next week. The
total unofficial count follows:
Initiative measure No. 81
For 1856 against 1887.
u. S. Senator-Jon 1421,
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1914-11-05

maintained that the only practi-
cal way to handle this matter is
to have the same power rates in
all communities regardless of
size. This may not be correct
from theoretical or engineering
point of view, but from a prac-
tical point Of view it certainly is
correct. If the service at every
town was based upon the actual
cost to give service at that place
many would not have service"

Pacific Power & Light Company
Manager Says Rates May
Be Increased
NORTH YAKIMA MAY
GET A REDUCTION
If Law of Averages is Upset Smaller
Cities and Rural Districts
Will Suffer

Local Manager G. D. Long
muir, Of the Pacific Power &
Light company was in the city
today from Pasco. When asked
what progress was being made
in the case pending before the
state public service commission,
which was started for the pur-
pose Of determining the COM
pany's valuation and fixing rates
Mr.. Longmuir said:
"At the recent hearing before
the commission in North Yaki-
ma, on the valuation of the COM
pany, it developed that the COM
pany is not earning fair re-
turn on it's investment as a
whole and any further reduction
in the earnings will not be justi-
fled. However, there seems to
be q movement on foot in North
Yakima in which the commission
will be asked to reduce the earn
ings of the company, and it's
rates in North Yakima, it being
the contention that the company
is earning more in the city Of
North Yakima than it is en-
titled to. Inasmuch as the COM
pany claims, and it seems to be
borne out by the evidence pre-
sented, that what they are earn
ing is not a fair return on their
investment as a whole, it is evi-
dent that if this contention of
North Yakima is to be sustained
that the commission will be
forced to increase the rates and
earnings in the smaller cities
and rural districts that are serv-
ed by the Pacific Power & Light
company. The net result of this
particular agitation will be that
all of the Yakima and Columbia
river valleys outside of North
Yakima will suffer. If the rates
are to be increased, the smaller
towns will have to stand the in
creases and in some instances in
the sparcely settled districts the
increases will be so great as to
be almost prohibitive.
"It is not considered that this
is at all fair. There seems to be
no good reason why the valley
towns should suffer for the ben
eft of North Yakima. That this
possibility was not unforeseen is
proved by the fact that when the
case first came up through the
complaint of the valley cities, it
was pointed out that the earn
ings in some of the smaller COM
munities did not justify service
extensions. The community had
to be treated as a whole. In
other words, the law of aver
ages pertained very much the
same as in the railroad business.
The good business had to go
along with the bad. If every
station on the N. p. and O-W. r.
& N. had to stand on it's own re-
cord of earnings, many places
would be without railroad facil-
ities."
"The smaller communities
cannot afford to sit idly by and
see their electricity rates go up.
The matter is important just at
this time because many of the
smaller communities are endeav-
oring to locate industries within
their limits. Up to the present
time, the Pacific company has
