portance as to developments that I in
tend to spend lot of my time out
here. With regards to new projects,
there can't be any before 1923 bud
gets become effective, if then, unless
congress legislates and gives us addi-
tional funds some way.
81 will make up my estimates for
reclamation and other features as soon
as 1 get to Washington. Needless to
point out, / cannot announce in ad-
vance what will recommend to the
president, but will say that the West
has my hearty support and I'm not
going to overlook anything that /
think will help out here and that con-
gress is apt to allow me. You see,
it's pretty hard to get things by con-
gress, no matter how meritorious they
may be, especially since General
Dawes got on the job.
Speaking of Dawes, I don't know
what he can do; of course, he can't
do much if congress doesn't want him
to. Unless the constitution is altered
congress can make or unmake such
jobs as his, but voted for the scheme,
though seeing none too much good in
it, so say let him make the best out
of it if he can.
~ am nearly as much interested
in reorganization of departments
as anything else," remarked the sec
retary. 81 want to get rid of some of
my bureaus. For example, can't see
why should handle educational af-
fairs. They are all right, but they're
not exactly in my line, you see. al
so have pensions running into $780,
100000 year. believe in pensions,
but for the life of me can't see what
I should have to do with them. could
mention other things. Other depart
ments are likewise situated. / pre-
sumo there will be pretty thorough
going reorganization before long. If
that takes place, it may be spring be-
fore get West again."

Farm Organizations Sponsor Show
To Provide Entertainment
as Well

Kennewick's one exclusive show, the
Grape Carnival, is no more, but a
move is on foot now to provide some
thing of a similar nature to take its
place. The Grape Carnival, which
was discontinued as a war measure,
had as its principal object, the pro-
viding of material with which to
make an exhibit at the larger fairs.
So fine was the material gathered
during the years the carnival was held
that Benton County was listed among
the three winners each year. Since
the discontinuance of the carnival this
county has been only an "also ram"
Backed by the Commercial club, the
various farm organizations are plan
ming a local fair to be held before
the opening of the State Fair at Yak
ina. Prizes will be awarded and in
addition to the exhibits, plans are be-
ing made for entertainment Of var
ious kinds during the afternoon and
evening.
Farmers and others who wish to
make exhibits are urged to get in
touch promptly with the committees
from the various organizations that
they may make suitable arrange
ments.
Definite dates for the exhibit have
not yet been set but it is expected that
the exhibit will be held about the mid
die of the month. The place and pro-
gram are being arranged for now and
will be announced next week.

"THE NEXT TIME
ISHOOT TO Kill"
Masked Men Enter House East
of Town Early Wednesday
Night

E. j. Crangle and Joe Broderick, his
uncle, who live east of town, We're or
dered to "stick 'em up" right in their
own home Wednesday night. About
nine o'clock, while the two men Were
reading, the door opened and ta1l
blue-eyed, masked man stepped in
holding big .38 automatic, followed
by a shorter man also armed and
masked. Thinking it prank Of a
neighbor the older man just grinned,
and the first gunman let fly with a
shot. "That was just to scare you;
next time / shoot to kill. Put 'em
up" And they both did.
They proceeded then to search their
victims, but got nothing but an In
gersoll and little money. Warning
them to stay inside the robbers
slipped out.
This morning the police were no.
titled and a couple of suspects were
picked up, but could not be identified
and so were released.

AROUSE INTEREST in
WENATCHEE SOUTHERN
Our Town Last to Raise Quota
of Preliminary Fund
Johnson Talks

Kennewick, probably the town most
benefited by the construction of the
proposed Wenatchee Southern rail-
road, excepting only Wenatchee, is
the last to raise its quota towards the
preliminary surveys and rights-of-
way. Officials of the new road, who
Were in Kennewick the last Of the
week, asked that Kennewick interests
supply $1,000 toward the fund. We
natchee has dug up $4,000, Hanford
and White Bluffs $500 each, Richland
S1,500, and Pasco $1,000. Each Of
these towns has notified the commit
tee that their money was available
now. Only few hundred Of Kenne-
wick's quota has been raised.
"You know a town is only as alive
as the business men in it," said l.. Z.
Johnson, president Of the First Nat
ional Bank, who was appointed chair
man Of the soliciting committee Of
the Commercial Club today. "The
building of this road would be of un-
told benefit to our town. If we ever
expect to have real town here we
must encourage the upbuilding Of the
community around us. This new road
would not only supply an additional
outlet for the vast fruit tonnage from
the Wenatchee country but would
open up to settlement and cultivation
the immensely rich country between
Richland and White Bluffs.
"Another thing too, that should be
remembered by those who want to see
our town grow, is the fact that it will
be an easy matter for the new road to
head into Benton City for their south
ern terminal, especially since eight
or ten miles Of grade is already made.
We must show, substantially, that we
are interested and really want the road
to make its terminal here. The little
money we are asked to give for this
purpose will be as nothing compared
to the benefits we are bound to derive
from the building Of the road.
sour committee, consisting of May
or Desgranges, III. H. Davis and my
self, expect to make our canvass this
week and it is hoped that the quota
will be raised quickly. The stock may
be paid for in four installments, and
there surely are twenty-five live firms
in our town that will be glad to help
put this job across"
r. ID. Sawyer, of Ricnland, who was
a guest of the Commercial club at the
luncheon, Wednesday, said that he was
surprised that Kennewick had not yet
put up her share. "Why, up in Rich
land we had our 1880 raised in thirty
minutes. / was subscriber on that
list, and if you fellows down here need
it, you may put me down for $100
share here too. This thing has got
to go through, and its up to you fell
lows to help it. We want this road
running by next year, so speed we
crave"

THEY PULL LIKE A PLASTER

"Say, We sure are glad you talked
us into taking that ad yesterday" said
Wynn Gascoigne, Saturday. Friday
noon a man came into our office and
asked where that land was we ad-
vertised in your little old sheet. We
sold him the place. Guess that isn't
getting quick returns on an ad,
what?" And speaking of ads pulling"
just ask Walter at the Home Grocery
if he wants any more eggs. He ad-
vertised for some and was completely
swamped with 'em.

LIBRARIANS WILL MEET

The Librarians of the states Of
Washington, Idaho, and the Province
Of British Columbia will meet this
year at Spokane, September /, and
3. Every one engaged in profession
ought to attend the gatherings of the
profession as an investment in inspi-
ration and that good fellowship which
lightens the drudgery of life and
makes one feel he is part of business
really worth the doing. The papers
and addresses are not the main thing,
but rather the handshake and the side
conferences. We hope our librarian
will be there. 1t will be good in
vestment.

Mile Short Cut to Coast
Miss Spokane

"The first highway paved across
the state will be the only one for
many years to come, and rightly so"
said M. M. Moulton yesterday when
called upon to report for CONNER
cial club committee. "For that reason
it is imperative that the people Of this
section do everything possible to see
that our highway is the one to be
paved.
"Since there are influences at work
in Spokane persistently and consist
emily directing traffic west over the
northern route, it is up to US in the
Yakima valley to offset these efforts.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
has asked this club to endorse new
road which shortens the distance be-
tween Missoula and the coast by 1O0
miles,"
The following resolution was Of
fered and adopted by the club:
WHEREAS, the Seattle Chamber OF
Commerce and the Lewiston CONNER
cial Club are spending much time and
effort in campaign to educate the
people of southeast and central Wash
ington to the vital Importance of the
opening of the Highway between Lew.
iston, Idaho, and Missoula, Montana
known as the LoLo Pass Highway
which cuts the distance between Mis-.
soula and the coast over 100 miles
and
WHEREAS, The greater portion Of
the unfinished part of this Highway
passes through the government forest
reserve and funds for the building OF
this highway are provided out of gov.
