OVER THE TOP
I'm UNITED WAR
WORK CAMP
Kennewick Exceeds Its Quota
and BeIated Subscriptions
Still Coming In
DRIVE SUCCESS EVERYWHERE
AlthO Handicapped by Influenza
Quarantine High School Goes
FL Over with a WhOOp

Once again Kennewick has gone
over the top for the boys over there.
At the close of business last night sub
scriptions to the United War Work
fund totalled $S55S.2S, or more than
$100 over the quota of Kennewick and
surrounding country. Belated sub
scribers have been coming in today
and when the books are finally closed
the amount will be several dollars in
excess of last nights total.
The campaign has been conducted
entirely upon the volunteer plan and
no personal solicitation has been done.
In most instances subscribers have
eheerfully paid the sums allotted them
by the committee and there are not
many names on the list from whom
there has been no response.
While members of the committee
have noted that those who have not
responded to this call are the ones who
contributed but niggardly to other war
work funds, they have not as yet at
tempted to outline any program for
dealing with the slackers. The ma
jority seem to favor the plan of COM
piling a complete record of Kenne-
wick's war record And placing it in
the city library as a permanent public
record for the special perusal of the
boys when they come home. 1t has
been suggested also that after the
war is finally over and there are no
more money raising campaigns the
several committees who have had
charge of the campaigns act jointly
and post list of the community's war
slackers.
Altho the Victory Boys and Girls
campaign was greatly handicapped
by the schools being closed they came
thru with a whirlwind finish. F. j.
Arnold, who had general supervision,
over the campaign last night reported
a total of $3.50 for the Kennewick boys
and girls. In two days time with
Allen Arnold and Winnifred Hunting
ton in charge, the Kennewick High
School went over the top, the final
roundup being made Tuesday after
noon when, under the leadership of
Archie Copeland, big noise demon
stration was held at the high school
building.
Not only did Kennewick go over the
top, but the county, the state and the
nation went over the top as an assur-
ance to the Yankee fighters that the
people at home will be back of them
until the last one again sets foot on
American soil.

.HIGHLNE REPORT
SOON COMPLETED
Data on Big Work will be Ready
for Engineers Soon After
First of Year

Report on complete typographical
surveys of all the various Yakima
highline projects, which are being
made with view to construction of
additional irrigation systems as a
part of the governments great work
of after war reconstruction, will be
completed shortly after the first of
the year, in the expectation of En-
gineer C. E. Crownover, who has
charge, says the Yakima Republic.
1t is to be submitted, it is understood,
to board of government hydraulic
engineers who will pass upon the plans
and determine which, if any, Of them
shall be recommended for adoption.
The development contemplated under
such plan would utilize all the re-
naming irrigation supply Of the Yak
ina watershed and add from 100000
to 100000 acres to the Yakima ir-
rigated area. s,tgv,sg 4.
= I y U : Z 4 I. x. Y I. =
Such construction, it, the govern
ment decides to undertake it, will re-
quire the labor of thousands of men,
probably would occupy from four to
ten years fol, final completion, and
would involve an expenditure of $685.
100000 to $4O,0OO,00O, according to
rough preliminary estimates, tho it
should be said that no authentic or
definite estimate has yet been possi-
BILE, and the amount would not only
vary according to the plan adopted,
but would ,fluctuate with variations
in wage scales, cost of material and
supplies.
The work would provide thousands
of irrigated farms for returned sol
.diers or others desirous of engaging in
farming.
The engineers engaged in the high
line surveys have included all the
various highlines that have been sur
veyed in whole or in part at various
~ I
times in the course of the valleys de-
velopment. Even surveys at one time
rejected as not feasible under the then
existing conditions have been careful
ly examined.
The list includes the original An
derson survey starting below Lake
Clealum, extending thru Kttitas coun-
ty and in this county thru the Wenas
and East Selah and Mckee valleys
and along the eastern side of the
Rattlesnake hills above the Sunnyside
canal and to, Kennewick. The Ander-
son survey also contemplated the de-
velopment of an enormous electric
power which was to be used for pump
ing water from the Columbia. 1t had
many good features, but was put into
the discard. Its possibilities are now
being considered.
The reclamation service also is sur
veying the Northern Pacific highline,
which took out of the Yakima river
near the town of Rosa. Other high
line surveys run at different times
are also included, together with some
newly planned, the intention being to
lay before the higher government Of
ficials complete review of all facts
necessary to an intelligent decision of
what further irrigation development
is practicable in the Yakima valley.
Nine surveying parties now are in
the field with headquarters here. 1t

The Voice Of New England.

OF the American expeditionary forces
at the fighting front in France to-day
more than one third hail from the six
New England states. In the daily ad-
ditions to the national roll of honor the
names of New Englanders are leading;
for New England guardsmen We're the
first to follow the regulars overseas and
under fire, and they share with the reg
uars in the front trenches to-day the
precious privilege of holding small
sector of the long line which the allies
have at last assigned to the American
defenders. Here we see history repeat
ing itself-the proud history of the war
for independence and of the war for the
preservation of the union New Eng
landers have never been ''too proud to
fight" Anw desire they may have har-
bored to be kept out of war" died the
day the Lusitania was sunk, and in its
place developed the determination to
keep the faith From that day the
voice of New England was calling for
the declaration of war, which finally came
and carried the country into the conflict
on the side of the allies and in support
of the common cause.
Surely the leadership of New England
soldiers cover there" imposes an obliga-
tion of leadership upon the unlucly New
Englanders left behind. Now is the time
for the voice of New England 10 be
raised again in resolution against any
parleyiDg with the enemy for peace
Where are the six New England gov
ernorsg Faneuil hall would be a good
place for them to get together this month
and raise the voice of New England in
support Of the overwhelming victory that
can alone conquer the peace Of Justice
and of right for which New Englanders
overseas are gloriously giving their all
to day. let New England lead and the
world will soon know that the voice OF
New England Is the voice OF the nation.

To all companies doing liability bust

The inclusion of this clause in any

This department is not willing to al

with its permission, which contains
clause that requires an assured to 60

can bring suit against company for
an accident, which may occur, for which
he is unable to pay. Many forms of
policies require that the payment shall
be made in cash. not allowing any 9TH
err form of payment to be made.
The companies doing liability business
in Vermont will please take notice that
this department will refuse to license
any company to do liability business in
this state after March 81, unless such
company agrees to eliminate such or any
similar clause from all its contracts is.

Early notice is given to all companies
in order to give ample time to correct
their policy forms by endorsement or
otherwise prior to April /.
