The fact that the former comman-
meet the men when they arrived at
Newport News, occasioned consider
able comment. Travis stated a that
time that official business did not per-
init him to greet his men when they

HERD DISTRICT
Is KNOCKED OUT
Judge Truax Holds that Plr.
mouth District was Not Gre
ated Legally

Are there any herd districts IN the
Horse Heaven hills? This is the
question that arises from a decision
rendered by Judge Truax in the case
OF the state VS.. WI. Blakely cattle
man of the Plymouth district. Mr..
Blakely was arrested for letting his
stock range in a herd district. The
case came before the court on stipula-
ton by the attorneys and was dismiss
ed on the grounds that the district had
not been legally formed because notice
had not been given in newspaper as
required by law. Mr.. BlakeIy was
represented by C. L. Holcomb and
Campbell w. Bushnell. The case
is regarded as just another chapter
In the fight between the cattle and
horse men and the sheep men for the
hill range.
Mr.. Holcomb is of the opinion that
every other herd district in the hills
is in the same status.

GARDNER TO QUIT
MKT. UNION BOARD
Nurseryman Says He will Not be
Candidate for Office at An
nual Election i'm Dec.

In an interview with the Courier.
Reporter j. R. Gardner said: ssIn con.
nection with the proposed extension
and enlargement Of the Kennewick-
Richland Marketing Union, there has
been some misunderstanding and con-
fusion regarding the general scope
and lines of work that would be under
taken. In fact it has been rumored
that the organization would engage in
the retail store business in competition
with local firms. As president of the
organization I wish to say that moth
ing of the kind has ever been con-
templated by the board, and / trust,
never will. The Union was organized
to furnish more efficient service In
handling the early crops and the ap-
plication of this principle to additional
crops will, if carried thru, be devel-
oped along the same lines. The retail
merchants and other business men of |
Kennewick and Richland have at all |
times loyalty supported the Union and
deserve the Union members support.
think the average grower is at pres
emit receiving as good return on mon
ey invested as the merchant, and one
3 as necessary as the other.
Mr.. Gardner, who has recently NOV
ID the headquarters of his nursery
business to Kennewick from Richland
urther stated that altho he is as much |,
Interested in the growth and success
T the Marketing Union as ever, the !
act that the nursery business is now
ngaging all his time, and the fact
hat he is not now producer of the ,
rops the Union is handling would pre-
ent him from accepting any renom- /,
nation to Office as president or di- !,
ector OF the Union at the annual elec- ,
ion to be held in December.

WE MUST RESIGN
SAY THE TEACHERS
Unless Request for More Pay IS
Granted Some of Them will
Quit Jobs

Another diplomatic note has passed
between the school board and the wo-
men teachers of the Kennewick schools
In the bonus controversy. In reply
to the boards explanation that there
are no vailable funds from which to
pay the bonus asked, tho teachers saw
that If the board really believes the
teachers are entitled to the additional
pay an election could be called for the
purpose of authorizing the board to
make the expenditure.
While the teachers have not at any
time assumed a "strike" attitude, they
do say in their last communication
that unless means are found for
granting their request some of the
teachers will be under the necessity Of
rcsigning their positions.
Individual members of the board
decline to discuss the latest commun-
ication in advance of an official mees-
ing Of the board Clerk E. O.. Keene
says that it is now too late to hold
an election for the purpose of author
lzing en- additional tax levy, as the
budget has been adopted and the tax
evics made. The only possible course
would be, to call an election for the
purpose of validating warrants which
night be drawn in excess of the bud
ret.

PEOPLE SLOW
in ANSWERING
RED CROSS CALL
Memberships are Coming in Very
Slowly in the Third Red
Cross Roll Call
CAMPAIGN ENDS ON TUESDAY
Unless More Voluntary Responses are
Received Solicitors will be
Sent out.

Unless there is marked gingerine
up within the next few days Kenne-
wick is going to fall away short Of
what is expected in the third Red
Cross Roll Call which is now in pro-
gress. Last year the roll call was
conducted without sending out solicit
ors with very satisfactory results. The
same plan is being followed this wear.
but unless volunteer memberships
come in more rapidly force of soIi-
citors will be put out in the field Mon
day and Tuesday.
Memberships are being received at
both banks, at vibber- Gifford's Drug
store, Sherk's Store, Columbia Cloth
ing Company, Produce company and
the Courier-Reporter Office in the citv.
and at the Finley and Hover postof-
fees. All it takes is heart and a
dollar. Those who cannot call 70 re-
new their memberships are asked TO
mail their membership fee to any one
OF the above named places.
The work Of the Red Cross is too
well known to require any expIana-
ton as to what the dollars are to he
used for. They are to be used for the
great mercy work of administering
70 distressed humanity at home and
abroad. The work Of the Red Cross
lid not end with the signing Of the
1rmistice- Today it is extending aid
o thousands Of returned soldiers and
iailors' families, and carrying on q
eiief work in several of the war
stricken countries Of Europe. The
var is over but the Red Cross hasn't
uit. It's heart is too big and it can't
Iult. Every true American surely
eels that it is his duty to continue
membership in such an organization.

SCHOOL OUTGROWS
PRESENT BUILDING
Supt. Hoffman Notifies Board
that Another Teacher and
More Room Needed

4 Members of Kennewick. IS schoo
board are becoming convinced that 70,
sure troubles do not come singly. FRS
they found that the district was sh,
I OF cash to meet the known operating
Expenses OF the schools this year. This
difficulty was overcome by the special
felection at which the voters author
lied three-mill tax levy. Then came
the demand of the women teachers for
q bonus amounting to~$4,OOO. And
now they are informed by Supt. H.
t. Hoffman, that it is physical inn
possibility to house and instruct all
OF the grade kiddies without an ad-
ditional taeacher and another school
room.
In communication to the board Mr..
Hoffman says: "The attendance at the
Washington building is as follows:
1st grade "a; End grade 40; 2nd-3rd
Al third 45; fourth 48; fourth and
fifth AZ; fifth 49; sixth, Al; total 500.
The problem can be solved by en-
~. It lis impracticable, if not ply
sically impossible, to house SO many
pupils in that building and get stand
ard results.
The problem can be solved by en-
ploylng an additional grade teacher.
There are now "a second grade pupils
and by securing an additional teacher
For that grade the division can be made
The next problem would be the
housing of this extra room. Two So
utions present themselves first, use
The spare room in the high school
for an advanced grammar
grade; second, obtain portable school
room for the Washington school pre-
nlses- The latter seems the more
easlble, as we need all the rooms at
me high school building for other pur-
,oses."
