SPOKANE GETS AVIATION BASE

Spokane will soon be the aviation
base for the dist division of the Ma
tional Guard with two large govern
ment hangers and six airplanes and
an accompaniment of thirteen Off
GERS and fifty enlisted men, as a re-
suit of the aggressive work of the
military affairs committee of the
Spokane Chamber Of Cmomerce.
Captain John A. Fancher Of Spo-
kane, has been commissioned major
and commander of the unit and is
now enlisting the personnel. IS
The Kennewick Commercial CLUB
made strong bid for locating this
base at Kennewick. Most of the
aviators wanted Kennewick, but Spo-
kane, as usual, gets most of the good
things that come to the Inland En-
pire.

WE INTERVIEW
LOCAL DEMOS
Wide Difference of Opinion
Expressed as to John
w. Davis

Kennewick, being about an average
sort Of town, a cub reporter thought
it interesting to interview local DEM
ocrats on the nomination Of John w.
Davis. Here's what they had to say:
DR.. C. f. McCuskey--I have seen
Davis many times. He inherited
much wealth but was always admir-
ed for his integrity mad ability. He
is striking in appearance and as
candidate will gain in strength. ...
j. B. Gilmore-A fine compromise
but don't think the democrats have
a chance. r.n .a ..>.. r,s rs-.r.

Geo. ID. Peters-Don't think much
of him. ...-- ....
ID. L. Taylor-It simply means that
LaFollette will be elected. ...
L. M. Keene-He must be a good
man or Mother Jones wouldn't hire
him as her lawyer.
Mrs. F. r. Jeffrey-The strongest
man they could pick.
Chas. Bentley wanted Glass, but
Davis is a fine man. Had McAdoo

Davis! He has about as much chance
as / have.

LOCALS LOSE
\ TWO GAMES
Both Games Close and One
Goes for Eighteen
Innings

The Kennewick Firemen's baseball
team closed its season by playing two
games in Pasco July 4th. Both
games, however, reflected great Gre
dit on the local team. The first game
was lost by score of 2 to O, and the
afternoon game Of 1s innings broke
in Pasco's favor by score of to 8.
In the morning game the battery
for Kennewick was Glispey and Hig-
ley, while Reems and Meyers worked
for Pasco. Both batteries showed
real class and but for slight wav-
ering in fielding Kennewick could
have put this game into extra in
nings.
In the afternoon Kennewick intro
duced Bergh and Evett and Pasco
matched them with Shelby and Mey-
ers. This was real battle, going
twice the length Of a regular game.
It was anybody's victory until Pasco
showed one over in the eighteenth.
It may be long time before another
such game is pulled on the sand lots
along the Columbia. During the 18
long frames Pasco got but ten hits
and Kennewick connected safely but
eleven times. Bergh of Kennewick
just about made a record when he
famed % Railroaders.
Jack Berry of the Tacoma Grocery
gave satisfaction as an umpire. This
is saying lot.
Much praise is heard about the
manner in which "Penny" Ferrell has
handled this years team. Ferrell
started without cent and did not
ask for the usual donations from the
business men. Instead he collected
a clean bunch of local kids and made
a real ball team. Kennewick now
has real nucleus for ball team
in which we can take real local pride.
Furthermore local pride brought out
the people and the team cleared up
about $3.50.

ALL SET FOR
BASIN MEET
Hundreds of Delegates from
Northwest to be in
Attendance

On Monday, July Ia Columbia Ba-
sin irrigation enthusiasts will again
meet at Pasco in the interest of the
Columbia Irrigation project. Several
hundred delegates from all points in
the Northwest will attend. And tho
irrigation has received severe set
back due to surplus of agricultural
products the meeting this year pro-
misses to be as enthusiastic and better
attended than ever before. The various
cities lof the Northwest are vieing
with each other in sending large del
egations.
The principal speakers this year
will be DR.. Elwood Mead, United
States director of reclamation; Frank
w. Goodwin assistant secretary of
the interior and United States Sena-
tor Wesley L. Jones. All these speak
ers are well worth hearing whether
one is or is not directly interested in
the Columbia Basin project.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
has promised to send large delega-
tion to the Pasco meeting. They have
also signified a desire to visit Ken
newick and the Commercial club is
making plans to receive them. The
Portlanders will probably be brought
over from Pasco by machines, taken
for a trip around the country and
possibly be entertained at lunch by
the local club. There is growing de-
sire in this community to establish
closer relation with the business men
of Portland because of our many
mutual interests.

DESCRIBES THE
SCOUT CAMP
w. c.. Muldrow Visits Boy
Scout Camp in Blue
Mountains

Seven o'clock Sunday morning
The sun was just striking down over
the hills as we rolled into the Boy
Scout camp IL miles above Dayton,
but the air was crisp and pleasant.
Six or seven acres of grassy meadow
scattered with big pine trees and a
tall white flag pole, the South Fork
Touchet river tumbling its shallow
stream down along one edge.
On either side the pine an dgrass-
clad hills rising steeply thousand
feet or more. In a semi-circle, four
by four, the khaki pup-tents of the
Scouts; in front of each patrol of
four its white totem pole with the
pennant bearing the emblem of the
patrol-each pole bearing red rings
showing the number of times that
patrol has won the honors at daily
inspection. In the center, the Of
ficers' wall tent, where sleep the
Eagle scouts, who are the camps
junior officers.
At the upper end, the office tent,
and under the pines along the creek,
the most important place of all-the
mess hall; with the camps of the chief
and the scout masters in the back
ground. In the center of little glade
lies a ring of blackened stones, a sort
of saucer ten feet in diameter. While
huge pile of dead pine limbs shows
preparation for the nightly campfire.
As we drive up bugler appears
before the office tent and the mount
tain quiet is shattered by the notes
of Reveille: "Oh, / can't get 'em up,
can't get 'em up in the morning"
walls the bugle and out from under
the little tents come some sixty-four
tousled youngsters in all stages of
dishabille. No, not all the sixty
four-there are always a few lag
CARDS to be routed out by the o. ID.
later and sent "thru the spats." That
means the laggard must pass on his
hands and knees between the legs of
the others and each has the right to
apply a (more or less) gentle "spat"
to that portion of his anatomy which
is handiest.
Half an hour is allowed for get
ting ready for breakfast, then mess
call. Nobody misses this.
There are oatmeal and milk. hot
chocolate, hot cakes and syrup,
stewed apricots, bread and butter
plenty of everything. The lady cook
does wonders with rather inadequate
equipment, cooking for seventy-odd
people on one six-hole range. Most
of the boys come back for seconds"
some for "thirds," but when they do
this they must "grunt."
There is one inflexible rule-ev-
erything taken on the plate must be
eaten. The X. p. patrol sees to this.
After breakfast, police camp. All
litter is picked up, beds are hung
out to air, everything is tidied up.
Then study period everybody busy
under various instructors, learning
various phases of scout work.
Morning dips, not compulsory, but
pretty universally patronized. The
swimming pool at the upper end Of
camp is made by timber crib dam
across an old channel of the creek.
Most of the work on this has been
donated by the Kiwanis club of Day
ton. Nine feet deep at the lower
end. it slopes up hundred feet to
shallow water for the little ones at
the upper.

STATES FINANCES
GREATLY IMPROVED,
AUDITOR REVEALS

| SAVANNAH, Ca, April 12.-Sam
j. Slate, of Columbus, head of the
recently created state auditing de
partment, who was here attending
the state convention Of tn II. p. A,
gave to the Savannah Press a very
interesting interview on the present
financial condition of Georgia.
"The treasury is in better shape
! than in the immediate past years, -
said Mr.. Slate. The common
schools, for instance, have received
the 1923 appropriation of $500 ,00C
in full, In 1928. during March, Gov
ernOr HardWick was compelled to
! borrow $500 600 to complete the 1872
appropriation for common schools.
Since January l, 1924, the common
schools have received $3,711 900

800, GOO. 1t has not been necessary
for Governor Walker to borrow any
money Whatever to complete the APP
preparation. The governor has now
available the $500 600 he is allowed
to borrow for emergency purposes
and he has also the money aCcluing
from the special taxes, Collectable

from the gasoline tax. These taxes.

to make the payment to the veterans
possible. In this work he has had
the hearty cooperation of w. j.

the executive in every manner.
The state departments are draw

and ali warrants drawn on the gov.
ernor are itemized as required by
the appropriation act passed during
the last session OF the legislatur
Governor Walker has prevented he
ithdraWal of lump sums from the
treasury, thereby prohibiting It from
becoming bare at any time. Wbi,-
all departments are obtaining funds
which they are entitled to and which
are needed, under the terms of The
appropriation act, they must be paid
month by month, which has proven
very satisfactory"
Specifically discussing the reason
the treasury is in such cOmmendable
shape the auditor said that under
the new system of paying appropria-
tons, the departments draw just
what is needed each month and NO
more, thereby making it impossible
for any department 10 be neglected:
whereas, under the old system when
appropriations were made in lump
sums for the year, there was much
grabbing from all sides, and, conse-
quently, it was possible for some de-
nartments to go unpaid for a length
of time.
Mr.. Slate spoke very highly Of the
members of the auditing department.
In abiding to his assistants, he de.
clared they are most competent audi
tors and accountants.
