Contract is Taken Away
from Him and Awarded
to Warren Brothers
EARLY BUILDING
PROSSER'S HOPE
Portland Firm will Under
take to Dispose of $32,-
100000 Bond Issue

According to a Prosser news
dispatch to the Yakima Republic
the contract for the construction
of the Horse Heaven Irrigation pro.
ject has been taken away from
Howard S. Anon and awarded to
Warren Brothers, of Portland.
The Prosser item follows:
c. w. Young, present member
of the board of directors of the
Horse Heaven Irrigation District
was returned to the board at Tues
days election, at which he defeat
ed J. w. Brokaw of Tacoma by l4s
to az.
As soon as the result of the cleo
tion was made known, j. Kelly De
Priest, secretary of the board, an
nounced that the contract for the
construction of the proposed Horse
Heaven Irrigation system had been
given to Warren Brothers of Port
land. A bond issue of $32 100000
was this summer voted by the land
owners to finance the proposition.
Tuesdays election was equivalent
to vote Of confidence in the pres
ent board, which had been assailed
by means of letters written ON the
eve of the election to all the land
owners on the project.
II can say now that everything
looks good" De Priest stated this
morning. "Warren Brothers have
agreed to handle the big contract,
which has been taken away from
Howard Anon, of Portland, to
whom the contract was first
awarded.
81 am satisfied that Warren
Brothers can do the work and that
construction will be under way
by next spring. The head of the
contracting firm will go East at
once to satisfy himself about the
underwriting of the Horse Heaven
bonds, which until now has been
handled by Morris Brothers Of
Portland. In case he is not sat
isfied with the arrangements so
far, the contracting firm will un-
dertake the financing itself. It
has ample resources and an as
sured standing in both the financial
and contracting worlds.
'It will, of course, take con-
siderable time to complete arrange
ments for beginning construction,
but ! believe that in 60 or 80 days
at the most work will be under
way At present our engineer, A.
L. Smith, and our attorneys, c. b.
Graves and B. E. McGregor, are
at Portland where they are draw
ing up the contract with Warren
Brothers and completing all ar
rangements. Prospects for speedy
development on the Horse Heaven
project have never been brighter
than they are today, in my opin-
ion."

share of trouble this week.
The general merchandise store

ing night, burglars entered Yedi-

tents Of the safe but secured only
a small amount for their trouble.
While officers have no clue as
to the identity Of the burglar or
burglars the theory is that both
jobs were the work of the same
parties.
Monday evening Mr.. Wheelhouse
closed his store. at the usual hour
and went to the Richland hotel for
his evening meal. Later he re-
turned to the store, made up the
days cash and put it into the
safe, although he is not certain
whether he locked it or not. About
9:3O he retired to his sleeping
quarters which are at the rear Of
the store but in seperate build
ing. After retiring he was not
disturbed and the buglarly was not
discovered until the next morning.
He is Of the opinion that the
robber or robbers entered the store
from another room in the same
building which has . .communicat-
ing door with the store room. Be
fore going to the hotel he failed
to try this door and It is the be-
lief the thief entered the store
while Mr.. Wheelhouse was at sup
per and waited until the merchant
had retired.
Entrance to Yedica's store was
made by tearing off board which
was nailed over broken glass.
