LIBERTY LOAN
SUBSCRIPTIONS
COME SLOWLY
Less Than One-Third of Kenne-
. wick's Allotment Has Been
Subscribed to Date
BANKS REPORT S21, 900 SOLD
Committees Will Probably be Sent Out
Next Week TO Make Personal
Solicitations

IL the territory tributary to Kenne-
wick is to subscribe It's allotment Of
$4,000 to the Second Liberty Loan,
subscriptions must come in lot fast
er next week than they have yet. The
First National Bank this evening re-
ported $4,000 subscribed and the
American Security $4,000, making a
total of $21, 900 or less than one-tnird
the allotment. AS yet no organized
canvassing campaign has been at
tempted but it is probable that next
week committees will be sent out TO
make personal solicitations.
The allotment Of $4,000 is figured
upon basis of Is per cent of the bank
deposits which according to local bank
ers, appears a little high compared
with the allotments in other districts.
As yet no official allotment has been
received from the Federal Reserve
bank, the $4,000 being the sum the
North Yakima committee said this
community would be expected to rub-
scribe.
According to the Yakima Republic,
the campaign in the upper valley is
meeting with better success than in
many parts of the country. Wapato
had its quota of $4,000 raised yester-
day and the city of North Yakima had
$53S,000 Of its allotment of $795,000.
Kennewick, however, is making bet
ter showing than some Of the other
towns in this district. The last report
from Ellensburg was that only $4,000
had been subscribed there.
President L. z. johnson, Of the First
National Bank, who is chairman of
the local committee, said this after
noon that he doubted whether or not
it will be possible to meet the allot-
ment of $75,O00; he was of the opinion
that the total subscription would be
close to the $50,000 mark.
The banks have received the bonds
of the First Liberty Loan and they are
now ready for delivery to the purchas-
ers.

PROSSER GETS
EXPERIMENT FARM
Regents of State College Accept
Provisional Gift from Benson
and Northern Pacific

The regents of the state college re-
Gently accepted from the Northern
Pacific Railway company and E. r.
Benson, state commissioner Of agri-
culture, site for the irrigation exper-
mental station provided for by an act
passed at last winters session of the
Legislature, says the Yakima Republic.
This site lies three. miles north Of
Prosser and eight miles east of Grand
view and contains 320 acres. It's legal
description is the east half Of section
1926. The state is given an option
of purchase on the west half of the
same section. The O-W. R. & N. line
runs close to the land.
While the land was offered free. to
the state by the owners, it was pro-
vided that $4,000 should be expended
in improvements thereon within one
year. Inasmuch as the legislature
made no appropriation either for the
purchase of site or undertaking the
work of establishing and conducting
the station, final acceptance of the gift
is dependent upon public spirited cit
izens or organizations raising the $3,-
900 necessary. Since Yakima gets the
site, against strong competition from
Wenatchee and other irrigated dis
tricts, it is scarcely probable that any
help in raising money can be expected
from outside of the Yakima valley and
it is the understanding in this city that
Prosser, Grandview and other lower
valley communities will take the initia-
tive in raising the funds.

CANADIAN OFFICER
VISITS KENNEWICK
Lieut.. Mather, of The Princess
Pats, is Seeking Recruits
in this District

Lieutenant j. F. Mather, Of the fa-
nous Princess Pat regiment of the
Canadian army, accompanied by ser
geant, was in Kennewick yesterday
and today on recruiting duty. Lieut.,
Mather is one of the contingent of Of
ficers who have been sent to the United
Starcs to give British subjects an OPP
portunity to enlist. His headquarters
are at 919 Pacific Ave-, Tacoma. The
purpose of his trip here was to secure
the names of all British subjects in
this district and he may return later
to establish a recruiting headquarters
here for the central part of the state.
Lieutenant Mather says that with
out question it is only a question Of a
short time until the Canadian con-
scription act will be made applicable
to all Canadians of military age in the
United States as will this country's
draft be made to reach Americans in
=
Canada.
Those who enlist now will be permit
ted to select the branch Of service IN
which they wish to serve. Those who
wish it will be sent to England to en-
ter the British ranks and will not be
assigned to any Of the Canadian units,
The lieutenant says few if any of the
stories of the fighting on the western
front are exaggerated. He saw nine
months infantry service in the
trenches, was wounded and sent home
He hopes, however, as soon as he is
physically fit to return to France with
another battalion of the Canadian
overseas forces.
1t was impossible for Lieut.. Mathel
this trip to call on many Canadian
citizens, but he suggests that any who
are interested and wish to join the
ranks of the volunteers and get ir
ahead of conscription, write him al
his Tacoma address.

A spic and span new flag is flying
this afternoon from the county flag
pole on Second street. When the pole
was raised County Commissioner r.
E. Pratt couldn't find a flag anywhere
that just suited him, so he secured one
for temporary use. This was soon put
out of commission by the wind and
for some time the pole has been with
out colors, but from now on Old Glory
will fly every day when the weather
will permit.

homes and the hotels and restaurants
have been relieved of any excessive
demands on their dining accommoda-
tions by the ladies of the Methodist
church who are serving lunch and din
ner in the church basement.

GOOD ROAD MEET
in LEWISTON
Joint Meeting of Two State
Highway Associations Early
Next Month

There are now two state highway
associations created for the purpose
of promoting the Improvement of the
Evergreen Highway from the East
and Southwest into the Pacific North
west: The Interstate Highway Associ-
alton of Washington and British CO.
lumbia; and the Idaho State Evergreen
Highway association, with which are
affiliated portions of Montana and Ore
gon. The latter organization was per-
fected at Nampa, Idaho, last July, as
an incident to the tour Of the Ever
green Highway pathfnding party thru
Idaho. These two associations are to
meet at Lewiston, Idaho, Nov. z in a
joint convention giving promise. of
being the most memorable good roads
meeting ever held in the West. The
governors of Washington, Oregon,
Montana and Idaho have accepted i'm
vitations to attend; the the state en-
gineers and members of the Highway
commissions of three of the states will
be present. The program will include
addresses by Frank Terrace, widely
known good roads apostle of Orilla.
WASH; Herbert Cuthbert, secretary of
Pacific Northwest Touring associa-
tion; I. M. Howell, secretary of state
of Washington; L. /. Hewes, of Port
land, district engineer, U. S. Office of
Public. Roads; Edward A. Van Sicklin,
member of the state highway commits
sion of Idaho, and other conspicuously
active in an effort to more fully cap
italize the scenery and climate of the
West by encouraging an increase of
automobile travel.
One of the features of the proceed
ings will be reports by the officers of
the Interstate Highway association
of conditions observed by them during
their recent pathfnding tour from Vic
toria, B. c., to Ell Paso, Texas. Repre-
lsentatives of the Animated Education-
/ al Film Co., of Seattle, were also men,
bers of the party and took motion pic,
lures along the route as far south as
Salt Lake City, and these will be ex-
hibited at Lewiston, in support of the
claim that the Evergreen Highway is
the "most beautiful long driveway in
the world"
In each state, too, the highway will
be the principal utility road of the
state, serving majority of the pop
ulation for local travel and having
back of it's Improvement the strength
of more than half the taxable property
of each state.
/, The Kennewick Commercial club
has gone on record in favor of send
ing fair representation from this
end of the county and E. w. Tren-
bath, chairman of the Good Roads
committee is rounding up a party to
make the trip by automobile.
