DISPLAYS SENTIMENT
Who would have thought that the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
SO long detested by lovers of Geor-
gas natural beauty as veritable og
re that came to destroy would now re-
vert to oldtime Indian names for the
different Waterpower projects in the
Tallulah Falls region? But such is
the case Panther Creek now becomes
Yonah, and the Sawtooth Tunnel con-
nectin Mathis Lake or Lakemont and
Tallulah will be given the name of
Torrora and means "the terrible.
Another development now known
as Seed will be called Nacoochee.
This late Difference to historic or ira
| ditional interest might have soothed
the ruffled spirits of Mrs. Longstreet
and others who fought the Tallulah
Falls developments with every re-
source they could command. Of
course no one now thinks that the
section is ruined by these commercial
developments. Rather they attract
more visitors than did the natural won
ders alone and the service rendered to
hundreds of towns and hundreds of
thousands of people justifies the ap-
preparation of the water-power for
industrial purposes.
INDIANS SEEK JUSTICE
An astonishing delegation visiting
Paris last month was party of Ar
apahoe Indians from Wyoming clad
| in full regalia and they told their in
reviewers that their mission there was
to ask the League of Nations to in
tervene with the government of the
United States to grant the Indians
their full rights and privileges as Am
orleans.
SELLING STONE MOUNTAIN
In recent parlance that is what DR..
S. w. McCallie Georgia State Geol-
ogist did when he delivered his illus
trated lecture last week to the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of American Science in session in Gin
cinnatti. This annual convention show
ed the interest that has been aroused
in the Stone Mountain Monument I'M
dertaking when they invited DR.. Nc
Callie to speak to them on the subject
which he presented with special ref
erence to its significance to scientists,
such as the possible age, the rate. of
erosion, and the probable endurance
of the work now being done by Gut
ION Borglum with complete descrip-
ton of this accomplishment to date
and its scope, significance and cost as
now being projected.

A LONG CHANCE

A woman who died recently left
her property to be divided equally be-
tween several children, but omitted pro
vision for one son who is a disabled
veteran stating in the will that she
knew his government would provide
for him. Was she over optimistic?

PAVING PLANS
ARE HALTED
Property Owners Asked to
Consult Estimate Costs
to their Lots

Before proceeding with plans for
paving the city council will endeavor
to ascertain as nearly as possible the
sentiment of the property owners re-
garding the proposed improvement.
For this reason the resolution Of in
tention passed last week is withheld
from publication and owners Of pro-
perty along Second, Third and Wash
ington streets are invited to call at
the city hall where preliminary as
sessment roll is on file. The roll gives
the estimated cost assessed against
each lot.
"There is no desire on the part of
any member of the council to put over
on the property owners an improve
ment they do not wish," said Mayor
Desgranges. 'eThere has been consid-
cradle agitation in favor Of paving.
A number Of properly owners have
requested the public Improvements
committee to get busy and pave in
front Of their property. It was in
response to this request that the paw
ing survey was made and estimated
costs compiled. If a considerable per-
centage Of the property owners are op-
posed to the Improvement it will not
be undertaken at this time."

Interstate Commerce Com
merce Commission wants
More Information
WANT ANSWERS TO
SEVERAL QUESTIONS
Commissioner will Come to
Northwest Some Time
Early in July

The second round in the fight TO
obtain permission from the interstate
commerce commission to build the
Wenatchee Southern railroad from the
great apple district of the upper CO.
lumbia to Kennewick, will be staged
early in July. The commission has
announced that another hearing will
be held on the project somewhere in
the Northwest, presumably in Wenat-
chez.
The commission has asked the new
railroad company to present at the
hearing answers to 81 questions which
indicate that among other things the
commission hopes, to ascertain wheth-
er or not any of the transcontinental
rail lines are backing the new road.
The company was asked to submit
its financial plan, coupled with a
showing as to practicability and fin
ancial responsibility to revise and ex-
tend estimates of construction cost,
explaining why its entire projected
expenditure for repair shops was
$4,000; why bridges, trestles and cul-
verts planned for its lines between
Wenatchee and Beverly would not
cost more than s73,499; what opera
tion rights it expected to acquire
from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul system over tn eHanford branch
and whether the Milwaukee had
planned to expend money in increas-
ing facilities on this branch; whether
the Union Pacific system would be
able to furnish the new road refrig-
orator cars; whether the Great North
ern's present refrigerator car service
to Wenatchee was adequate; whether
the Wenatchee Southrn itself could
secure any reasonable quantity Of
freight other than the orchard ship
ments; and what prospects of increas-
ing density of traffic really lay in
plans for the Columbia Basin irriga-
ton, and the Greater Wenatchee val
ley project.
ITO summarize, there should be a
definite showing, so far as possible"
the commission notice to the company
concluded, "that there is sufficient
traffic, present and prospective, in the
territory not now served by any rail-
road to justify the building of the
line, considering at the same time the
possibilities of traffic present and
prospective which the proposed line
may secure in territories already
served by other lines. This involves
a close analysis of all traffic pos
sibilities, present and prospective, as
well as reasonable conclusions based
thereon.

ECHO PLAYS
HERE SUNDAY
Unless Attendance is Salts
factory this May be the
Last One Here

Manager j. C. Leibee has been noti-
fled by the officials of the Blue Noun
tain Baseball league that unless at
tendance at the Kennewick-Echo game
here Sunday is comparable with the
attendance in the other smaller towns
Of the league, the seasons schedule
will be changed so that no more games
will be played here.
Although the Kennewick club has
not yet broken into the win column,
day by day in every way the local boys
are playing better ball and Sundays
game promises to be close one. In
Echo Sunday Kennewick hammered
two pitchers out of the box while
Hickey went thhe nine innings, strik-
ing out 10 men and allowing nine hits.
The records of the two teams in the
hit and error column were even but
by fortunate combinations of hits and
errors Echo rolled up nine scores to
Kennewick's six.
With Audley Evett back at third
and Blakely at first the Kennewick in
field is materially strengthened. There
are still weak spots at short and Sec
ond. If Manager Leibee succeeds in
plugging up these two holes Kenne-
wick will have team that viii keep
any in the league guessing.
When it comes to swatting the ball
Jett, Kennewick's outfielder, has a
percentage of 666. Out of ls times
at bat Jett has poled out IL safe ones.
He is credited with one homerun, one
three-bagger, five doubles and five
singles.
. Pendleton was pulled down from the
top of the list Sunday when they
dropped game to Pasco a to 9. Wal
la Walla blanked Milton-Freewater,
8 to O. The teams standings follows;

GRASS CROP
COMING FAST
Effects of Increased Acreage
Are Shown in Larger
Daily Shipments

Effects of an increased acreage in
asparagus are reflected in the steadily
growing daily shipments Of the g.
Rivers Growers association. Last
years biggest day has already been
on six days this year and the peak of
the harvest is yet to come. The as
sociation received from its members
S35 crates yesterday which sets new
high record for daily cuttings. Man.
ager Lampson expects the daily ton
mage to increase until the thousand
mark is reached.
Word has been received that the
carload shipped last week arrived in
Minneapolis in excellent condition.
Jobbers there are asking for another
ear. The next car, which may roll
later this week, will probably go
either to Chicago or Calgary.
The local price today is $1.75 a
crate.

city council Tuesday evening.
The councils action at its last reg
ular meeting in voting to dispense
with the services of C. E. Copeland

vigorous protest from several of the
business men. AS a result special
meeting was called Saturday evening
and the mayor was authorized to put
on special night man until Tuesday
evening when the matter was to be
given further consideration. In car
rying out this order Mayor Des-
oranges put ]. @. Reynolds on special
night duty.

the signatures of about fifty business
men was presented. 1t petitioned that
night police protection be given the
city and recommended that Mr.. Cope
land be returned to the force.
The council voted to grant the first
request but the petition asking for
Mr.. Copeland's appointment was ta-
bled without discussion. Mayor Des-
oranges said that owing to illness he
had not been able to give the matter
of permanent appointment his at
tention but promised that at the next
regular meeting he would announce
the selection of man whom he hoped
would be satisfactory to all MEM
bers of. the council. Meanwhile Mr..
Reynolds will be kept on special duty.
