THOUSANDS WILL BE HERE
TO TAKE PART IN OFFICIAL
OPENING OF COLUMBIA SPAN

CATION district was in Prosser Sat
urday prepared to accept the bond
in case it should be filed at the last
Minute. It did not come, and
Graves held long conference with
the directors of the district. They
had received a request from Anon
that the time for the filing of his
bond be extended 80 days.
Landowners Of the Horse
Heaven, when their advice was
asked recommended that the jesir-
ed extension of time be granted.
The directors, however, after con-
sidering the matter for a time took
no action at all. This leaves them
free to accept Amon's bond in case
it is offered by Nov. 18 and also
free to carry on negotiations with
any other reputable contractor
who considers that he can handle
the job. 1t has been intended to-
rush the construction work and to
carry on the tunnelling, of which
a good deal is required, through
the otherwise slack winter season.

ANON FAILS
TO FILE BOND
Horse Heaven Directors
Take No Action and Re
quest for Extension


Immediate, development of the
Horse Heaven project of 225,OOO
acres, to which water was to be
brought by means Of $4,000
900 bond issue voted by the land
owners and recently validated by
the courts, was haulted Saturday
when Howard Anon of Portland,
contractor, failed to file his &c.
100000 surety bond at Prosser
within the time specified.
Anon was to take charge Of the
giant construction task and also OF
the marketing of the bonds, which
have not yet been printed. The
time for filing his bond expired
Saturday night. It was some time
ago reported that Sc eastern banks
and finance houses had each offer
ed to underwrite 100000 of the
bonds, this providing for SOS, 0OO,-
600 for actual construction, but
the name of these financial agents
have never been made public.

two of the men started to run.
When failed to heed his command
to halt the officer opened fire. The
third man stood his ground and
was taken to the city Jail.
At the police station the follow
ing forenoon he gave the name of
Robt. Eblan and disclaimed all
knowledge of the other two. He
said he went into the alley alone
and found the other two there. He
was released and told to leave
town.
Members of the police depart
ment are of the opinion that TIE
men were planning the burglary Of
some of the nearby stores. This
theory is strengthened by the find
ing of a pinch bar which was
eveidently thrown away by the
men as they ran.

ton as soloists accompanied by
Miss Beatrice Sherk. DR.. Donald
D. MacLaurin read the scripture
and Rev. John A. Shaw offered
prayer. As friend Of the family,

tive manner told Of the life Of SER

the Rev. Shaw. p
The following friends of the
family were pail bearers: L. E.

York City lost his life in the
Columbia river on Thursday of last
week when canoe in which he and
G. H. Johnston of Tacoma were
travelling down the Columbia,
struck rock at Priest Rapids and
capsized.
"Johnson, who was in White
Bluffs last Sunday, said that he
first met Sherman in Yellowstone
Park this summer and that to-
gether they planned the trip down
the Columbia to Portland. Equip
ping a canoe with clothing, bed
ding and provisions, the two left
Chelan Falls, about 40 miles up
the Columbia from Wenatchee, on
Sunday, October 1st. Johnston
says that they stopped at different
places on the way down and were
having a pleasant and uneventful
trip, although they received few
thrills when they came through
Rock Island rapids below Wenat-
chez. They passed under the Mil
waukee bridge at Beverly about
noon, Thursday. An hour later
they entered the rough water at
the head of. Priest Rapids.
s'They shot the first rapids sue
cessfully and were part way
through the second rapids when
the canoe suddenly ran onto a sub
merged rock and the speed of the
current carried it half way over
the rock before it stopped. Sher-
man, who was in the back Of the
canoe, then used his paddle to push
the canoe off the rocks but instead
of pushing from the back he push
ed from the side. This turned the
little craft sideways to the current
and the swift water striking it on

the side tipped it over and both men
found themselves struggling IN the
icy water.
Johnston said he asked Sher-
man if he could swim and received
an Affirmative reply, starting to-
ward the east bank Of the river.
Altho handicapped by their heavy
clothing, Johnston said they were
making fair progress when iSher-
man, who was about 20 feet be-
hind, suddenly threw up his hands
and without word sank out OF
sight. Johnston said he remained
in the vicinity of Priest RAPIDS un-
til Sunday, but, although he recov-
cred the canoe and most OF his
pack he found no trace. of his miss
ing companion.
Johnston says that Sherman
told him he was a police court re-
porter for one of the Brooklyn
daily papers. The drowned man
was about I'd years old, 5 feet and
5 inches tall, with dark complexion
and curly hair, weighed about 1876
pounds and was dressed in army
clothes. Mr.. Johnston said that

When the Yellowstone Trail as
sociation held its annual meeting
in Walla Walla late in the fall OF
1920 the bridge campaign was pre-
scented to the meeting by M. j. Car
rigan, representative of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce. The resolu-
ton was unanimously and enthus-
iastically adopted and E. w. Tren-
bath, of Kenenwick, executive COM
mitteeman for Washington, was
instructed to make the financing
of the bridge his special work foz
the year.
In company with Mr.. Carrigani
Mr.. Trenbath at once began tour
of the Yellowstone cities and towns
and new life and new impetus was
given the movement. Through sc
untiring efforts and loyal support
of such men as Harry DeMuth, OF
Pasco, Ralph Tuttle and j. G.
Kelley, of Walla Walla, L. L
Drumming of Colfax, o. C. Scots, OF
Yakima, and many others the cam.
paign was put over and on June
"a, 1921 officials of the corpora.
ton announced that the 100000
necessary had been raised.
October 14th, 1921, after adver-
tisment, bids were received from
III. j. Cameron, Illinois Steel and
Construction Company, A. Guthrie
& Company and the Union Bridge
ranging from S426,900.00 by ths
Union Bridge Company, being the
lowest bid to $438,00, the highes,

the more than fourteen hundred
stockholders live in a score OF cities
and towns stretching from the
waters of Puget Sound across the
state line into the panhandle Of
Idaho. The success of the under.
taking is due to the vision, the
energy, the zeal and the public
spiritedness of the officials and
members of the Commercial clubs
and Chambers of Commerce along
the route of the Inland Empire
highway.
For years a bridge across the
Columbia river at this point has
been dream Of the states good
roads enthusiasts. Year after year
it was vaguely discussed at the an
nual meetings of the State Good
Roads association, but always it
was considered an undertaking for
the future and so far in the future
that it had no place on the road
building program of the state.
Although relegated always to the
background of things the bridge
idea never died but lived in the
hearts and minds of those who
came and went across the great
river. The building Of the Snake
river bridge by Walla Walla and
Franklin counties gave new vigor
to the idea but the possibility of
bridging the Columbia by means
of joint bond issue by Benton
and Franklin counties was out of
the question. Franklin county could
not bear the taxation burden of
two bridges. /
The idea that the bridge might
be built by means of subscription
to stock was conceived by promin-
ent business men and farmers of
Walla Walla who interested Chas.
G. Huber, manager of the Union
Bridge company, in the PROPOSE
tion. On September 8, 1919, Mr..
Huber filed with the county COM
missioners of Benton and Franklin
a petition asking for a
for toll bridge over the
Columbia between Kennewick and
Pasco. October Is, 1919, the Ben
ton county board granted the fran
chise. Similar action was taken
by the Franklin county commits
sioners.
Following this beginning, Con-
gresham John w. Summers Sc
cured federal permission by the
passage of a special act of con-
gress. Articles of incorporation
of the Benton Franklin Inter
County bridge company were filed
January %, 1920 by Mr.. Huber
and Dwight d. Hartman. May IL
the same year the capital stock
was increased from 100000 to
100000 and shortly afterward
Ben Grote, Allen H. Reynolds. j.
NJ. Crawford and d. c. Eaton, all
Of Walla Walla were added to the
board of trustees.
A stock selling campaign was
but it proceeded slowly
and the whole undertaking bid fair
to be swallowed up in the business
slump which swept over the coun-
try at that time.

"Eden and Return"

An extremely well balanced cast appears in support of Doris May in her second RIG starring vehicle. "Ed- en and Return" to be screened at the Central theatre Tuesday and Eagle theatre Wednesday and Thursday.
 Emmett King, a familiar figure on the stage and screen, will have a role for which he is particularly suited that of Doris Mays father. Doris will be Betty Baylock. daughter of a famous Wall Street operator, and MT. King will be Robert Baylock, the proud daddy. Margaret Livingston, whose vivacity has established her as one of the popular young women of the screen, will be seen as Connie Demarest, who helps to give the story much of it's humor. Gerald Firing, a young Englishman who has appeared in many motion picture pro ductions in this country. also will have a most congenial role as Ham ilton Poates, character for which his peculiar talents. especially adapt him. Earl Metcalfe will have the
