NEW IRRIGATION
MANAGER ENGAGED
Fred G. Pyle Of Colorado to Sue.
ceed Chester Edwards who
Quits August 1

The board of directors of the Co.
lumbia Irrigation district yesterday
elected Fred G. Pyle to succeed Ches-
ter E. Edwards as manager. Altho
the new manager will not assume
charge of the irrigation system until
August 1, when Mr.. Edwards resig-
nation will take effect, he will remain
here and acquaint himself with the To-
cal system.
1t is only because of Mr.. Pyle's mis-
fortune that the local district is able
to employ him. He was forced to give
up his position with the government
as manager of the Gunnison, Colo,
project, on account of the fact that
Mrs. Pyle is unable to live in that al
titude. He comes to Kennewick with
the very best of recommendations.
For years he has satisfactorily held
important positions with the u. s.
reclamation service, both as construc-
tion engineer and manager Of main
tenance and operation.

O-W TO RESTORE
FORMER SCHEDULE
Beginning Sunday there will be
Morning and Night Train
Wallula to Yakima

Beginning next Sunday morning the
morning and night passenger train
service which was discontinued as a
war economy measure, is to be restor-
ed on the O-W. r & N. between Yaki-
ma and Wallula.
Z The new schedule will be almost the
same as the old. The morning train
from Wallula will arrive in Kennewick
at $40 and reach Yakima at $3.50. The
evening train will leave Yakima at
$3.50 and arrive here at II p. m. At
Wallula both trains will make main
line connections for Spokane and
Portland.
This new schedule will restore the
former trade relations which existed
between Kennewick and the people Of
Alfalfa and Wallula. People in that
district can now come to Kennewick
on the morning train, transact their
business and return home at 1890 p.
m. Or they can come up on the noon
train, devote the afternoon to the
transaction of business, attend a show
in the evening and return home on the
night train. In addition to this it af-
fords the Kennewick people excellent
train service alike to Prosser and Yak
ina and gives the people Of the upper
valley much quicker transportation to
Portland. IF the business will justify
it the company plans soon to, carry
Portland sleepers both ways.

LOCAL GASOLINE
SHORTAGE BROKEN
Dealers Ship in 5000 Gallons
and Every Car Owner is
Urged to Keep Tank Full

Since the first Of the week Kenne-
wick has been experiencing the now
city Of an oversupply of gasoline and
today the local dealers have on hand
about 5000 gallons which they wish to
get into the hands Of the car owners
just as soon as possible and business
down at the Standards station has
been practically at a standstill for sew
eral days.
The marked change Of front in the
local gasoline situation was brought
about by the arrival Sunday Of 12,-
500-gallon tank car Of independent
gas shipped by the local dealers as
sociation. Since the arrival Of the
car every service tank in the city has
been full and car owners have been
urged to stock up to the limit.
In addition to the tank car the deal
ers' association received 1000 ballons
in barrels this week. All Of this gas
is Of So per cent test, as against the
Standards SO per cent and is retail
ing for 36 cents while the retail price
on the Standard gas is "a cents. The
spread in price is not due, however,
to the difference in quality, but to the
fact that the association must pay de-
murrage on the car and also to meet
the additional expense Of transporting
it from the railway yards to the SER
vice. stations.
Dealers announce that they will be
able to ship in another car near the
end Of the month unless there is q
loosening up Of the regular supply be-
fore that time. They have asked the
Standard for information as to when
it will be able to resume full deliver
cries.
In the event the Standard is unable
to give any assurance of an early
lifting Of the rationing program, the
association will continue to ship in gas
to supply the normal demands. To do
this they point out that they must
have the cooperation of car owners
to the end that the tank cars may be
unloaded in the least possible time.
The Standards recent raise of 8
cents a gallon in the wholesale price
of gasoline has only caused an ad-
vance Of one cent over the retail price
established by local dealers at the be-
ginning of the present shortage.

( MORE MONEY
FOR SCHOOLS
Special Levy of Eight Mills will
be Required to Meet Oper-
ating Expenses
ELECTION CALLED FOR AUG. 3
Roard Submits Bond Issue for Pnr-
y nose of Providing Three More
School Rooms

Every resident of the local school
district has realized for some time
that if Kennewick is to maintain any
thing like the former standard of its
schools it will be necessary for the
voters to authorize expenditures con-
siderably in excess of the maximum
school tax which TIE district board has
authority to levy. Two special cleo
tions were necessary to tide the dis
trict over the last school year and this
year the only question has been how
large an additional levy would be re-
quired to meet operating expenses.
Further than this, it became very
evident this spring that this year
it would be absolutely necessary to
provide more school rooms. Last year
both buildings were full, the Lutheran
school room was. in use and some of
the grades badly overcrowded. This
school years census shows a substan-
tial increase over last year and if all
Of the districts children are to be
schooled additional quarters must be
provided.
For some tine the school board has
been working on these two problems
and have at last worked out concrete
proposition to be submitted to the vot-
ers Of the district at special election
August 3. To meet the operating ex-
penses tax of mills in excess Of
the legal limit of 10 mills will be
necessary. Practically all Of this adj
ditional levy will be required to meet
increases in teachers salaries. And at
that the salaries paid here will be
slightly under those paid in other dis
tricts Of this class.
To meet the necessity for enlarged
housing facilities, the board proposes
to erect three-room building on the
school house site. While the exterior
Of this building will be Of permanent
construction the partitions and inter-
Tor arrangement will be Of tempo
ray nature. The plan being to even
tually use the building for manual
training, domestic science and other
departments Of the high school when
it shall become necessary to erect
second grade building.
To carry out this plan bond issue
OF $4,000 will be required.
Eve make our appeal to the public
with every confidence that the board
will be authorized to go forward with
the work of maintaining the efficiency
OF our school system" said F. L. Fras-
er, clerk of the board. 1.-THE taxpay-
ers of Kennewick and vicinity have too
high an appreciation Of the missions
OF our schools in the training for cit
izenship and the Importance Of that
citizenship in overcoming the radical
tendencies of the day to oppose for
ward movement Of this kind. Today
the public knows that everything has
advanced in price and with it the cost
OF maintaining our schools. This ex-
ira cost must be met and met in the
right way. There is really no alterna-
tive"

game on Saturday, when the rival west
side clubs, Lorraine and Neighborbood
meet III their annual game. Lorraine has
an envlable record IN baseball, while the

seasoned players.
Manager I.ouls Carboue of the Neigh
borhood team will pm his hopcs on "Joe

IN quite few games for his team last
season. Hump" Hall, formerly with
Lorraine, but who was turned loose the
latter part of the season, will catch.

Sylvester, Carrozz and Strawbridge are
among the Neighborhood stars.

Charlie FIschback as the field leader,
Casey Morgan, "Harv" Hayes and

two named players beng with Nelghbor-
hood last season, look to be much stronger
IN the batting than their opponents. All
of the above named players generally
end the season far above the 300 mark.
Manager Hlrzel will probably use the
following line up and batting order:
Scott, IT,: Young and Benson, cf.; Stab,
rf.; FIschback, c.; Hayes, h.; Morgan,
