LEWIS TO STAY
IN KENNEWICK
Will Not Accept More Lucrative
Position at Auburn-Tw0
New Teachers

M. S. Lewis, for nine years super.
intendent Of the Kennewick City
schools, will continue in that capacity
for another year and at his present
salary. "Altho Mr.. Lewis was Of
fered the superintendency of the Au-
burn schools at $500 more a year than
we are paying him, he neither request
ed an increase Of salary or a release
from his contract" said S. D. Lynch,
Of the local school board. "He no.
titled us that he had refused the Au-
burn offer because he did not feel that
the difference in the salary was COM
mensurate with the difference in the
two towns, that he had signed up here
for $1,000 year and felt it his duty
to carry out his contract, that he had
come to look upon Kennewick as his
home and believed that Kennewick and
the Kennewick schools offered greater
possibilities than does Auburn"
With Mr.. Lewis as superintendent,
there will be only three changes in
last years teaching staff and really
only two new teachers, as Miss Ger
trude Showers, who will succeed Miss
Kate Williams as fifth grade teacher,
taught in the local schools before GO
ing to North Yakima last year. Miss
Williams will teach in Valdez, Alaska
this year.
Miss Stella Hanson, of this city,

last year she assisted in Psychology
and class morals. j. E. McKim, last

kENNEWICK HAS A QUIET DAY
fourth of July is Made Day of Rest
Rather than of Strenuosity

Few days have ever passed more
quietly or been more unaventful in
hennewlck than was the Fourth of
july. The whole town took a holiday
and each individual sought recreation
according to his own inclinations.
While a number of Kennewick peo-
PIE attended the grange celebration
at the city park in Richland, small pic
me parties were the order Of the day
and there was hardly suitable spot
along the Columbia and Yakima rivers
'nat did not harbor small holiday
party.

DATE Is SET FOR
IRRIGATION HEARING
County Commissioners will Hear
Protests Against District
on 23rd of July

Plans for the building of the ex.
tension of the Sunnysidc canal were
advanced step this week when pc.
ltition providing for the creation of the
Kennewick Irrigation district was filed
with the county commissioners and the
date for hearing was set for July %.
The notice of hearing, which is pub
lishcd in full in this issue sets forth
the boundaries of the proposed project
which comprises about 5000 acres of
land tributary to Kennewick. If there
are not sufficient protests at the hear
ing to block the formation Of the dis
trict an election will be called for the
purpose of creating the district and
electing three directors.
Thus far the landowners, most Of
whom live on the Highlands, are work.
ing enthusiastically for the district,
and showing willingness to cooperate
with the Yakima reclamation officials
in expediting organization matters in
every possible manner. The influence
OF this spirit will undoubtedly be felt
when the U. S. engineers meet for the
purpose of making their final decision
upon the project, as the government
has learned by experience that the CO.
operation of the landowners is essen
tial to the success of any new project.

Mrs. Lemon, of Yakima Chapter,
Organizes Subdivision of
American Society
ONLY BRANCH IN TERRITORY
Kennewick to Be Allowed to Expend
its Own Funds Excepting Half
of Membership Fee

The Kennewick branch of the Yaki-
ma chapter of the American Red Cross
was organized at a meeting in the
Commercial club rooms Monday eve
ming. Organization was effected un-
der the direction of Mrs. w. L. Lemon,
secretary of the Yakima chapter.
Earlier in the day Mrs. Lemon met
with the ladies of Richland and assist
ed in the organization there of a circle
to the Kennewick branch and short
time ago she organized at White
Bluffs an auxiliary to the Yakima
chapter. In all there are now more
than twenty Red Cross organizations
working under the jurisdiction of the
Yakima chapter, but to date the or
ganization here is the only branch,
the others being auxiliaries.
In addressing the meeting Monday
evening Mrs. Lemon explained that
she had come here for the purpose of
organizing an auxiliary, but after siz-
ing up the community she decided that
it could support a branch. The es-
sential difference between the two is
that a branch is permitted to direct the
expenditure Of it's own funds, while an
auxiliary must forward all it's monies
to the chapter, which purchases such
supplies as may be needed and sends
them to the auxiliary to be worked up.
The branch retains the funds it raises
in its own treasury with the exception
Of one-half Of each annual membership
fee which is forwarded to the chapter
and from there to national hcadquar-
ters in Washington, D. G.. Red Cross
articles when completed by the branch
are sent to the chapter where they are
consolidated for shipment to the state
headquarters. The branch is perma-
nent organization, while the life Of an
auxiliary is one year.
While Kennewick has been as active
as any other small town in the state
in Red Cross work and has made an
excellent showing thru the D. A. r.
auxiliary, there has not been any of
ficial Red Cross organization here thru
which membership in the national or
ganization could be secured. The re-
port of the D. A. r. auxiliary shows
that at the close of last week there had
been completed 1872 articles Of hospi-
tai equipment and that $50 other arti-
cles are in the course Of making. This
in addition to the 300 housewives made
and equipped for the states own
troops.
AT Monday evenings meeting A. R.
Gardner was elected chairman: Mrs.
Amy M. Bartlett, vice chairman; j.
L. johnson, treasurer; as no one pres
ent wished to assume the responsible
tiles of secretary, Mrs. j. j. Rudkin
and Mrs. E. M. Sly were given au-
thority to select a secretary and Mrs.
A. c. Hart was made temporary Sec
retary. Mrs. Rudkin and Mrs. Sly
nave since reported that Miss L. Har-
low has been chosen secretary.
There are yet number of commit
tees, including an executive board, to
De named by the chairman. AS soon
as these committee selections have
oeen made second meeting will be
called when details of the organization
will be perfected. |:
