Down With the Censorship

While judicial tyrants are resting from their Ia
bors of smothering free press, military autocracy
steps in to carry on the job
AT Gary, Indiana, according to United Press dis
patches, Major General Leonard Wood has clapped
ON the censorship. Dispatches regarding raids and
arrests made under direction of the military authori
ties must be submitted to some colonel, or other un
derling of Woods.
The Wood process of multiplying the United States
constitution looks simple. First, you get a strike
zone under martial law. Then you apply the CEN
sorshp to snuff out the rights of free press Then
you do as you blamed please without fear of exposure
should you suspend squech all the constitutional
rights
Wood says he claps the military censorship on in
the present instance to prevent radical agators in
other parts of the country from learning of steps
taken by the government to curb their activities.
This is aughable but any old excuse is better than
none. Of course, any newspaper man can walk out
Of Woods little acknowledgements and
dispatch whatever news he has.

DR.. Adriel B. Ely, of Worchester,
New York, arrived the last of the
week to look after property interests
here. DR.. Ely almost beat the jack
rabbits to this part of the country and
ever since he has been a consistent
booster for Kennewick and great be-
lever in the future Of this valley. He
went east several years ago and says
than even though times have been
quiet, marked changes have taken
place here during his absence. He is
particularly impressed with the
growth of the orchards. "I have not
for one moment lost faith in the Ken
Valley" said DR.. Ely. "The
dreams of tha early pioneers are be-.
ing realized and from now on accomp-
lishment is going. to follow accomp-
lishmeEt in r. pid progression. This is
. great country and the people here
are the salt of the earth.

other lads they were swimming IN

in the bank which it is presumed some
boys dug there several years ago, af-
ter reading Mark Twain's wierd story

Huck Finn If Ivan and Joe were
looking for adventure and excitement,
thru their imaginations, they found
it Unexpectedly and it was real peril
they encountered, for the roof of the
earth cave came down with bang,
burying them underneath. After a
while their comrades missed the boys
and, knowing they had entered the
cave, discovered the peril of their po-
sition, and bravely dug away the soft
earth and dragged Ivan and Joe out
into the sunlight. Aside from minor
bruises the boys escaped their brief
entombment without injury. Only the
prompt action Of their playmates,
however, averted a real tragedy.

STEAMER GRAHOMA RUNS
REGULARLY UP THE SNAKE


-
+ Some time ago word was received
here that. steamer service. was to be
resumed between Portland and up
river points. Since then the public
has been waiting and wondering when
the service was to start and some
shippers have been. holding freight
for the boat. Nobody seemed to know
anything about the service until The
Produce Company received letter
from the Oregon City Transportation
company which brought the infOrma-
tion that the steamer has been oper-
ating for several weeks, but Kenne-
wick and Pasco are not on its calling
list. The letter follows:
"You letter of June 18th to the
Chamber of Commerce referred to us
for answer.
1--WE are operating our steamer Graz
Ramona to Lewiston on a weekly
schedule. The boat left out last night
on her second trip, and would be glad
to serve Kennewick, providing we are
guaranteed sufficient tonnage to jus
tify paying dock rent and agent.
"What difference per ton on rail
rates would your merchants expect
in order to ship by boat, and about
how many tons per week could we
likely get, both in and out, and what
Inducements other than regular week.
ly service would we have to offer?
1About what would be dock rent
per month and what are the facilities
for safe handling of freight? These
are questions necessary to know in
