Fire Burns Stubbornly For
Hours Under Floors Of
Kennewick Hotel
PASCO DEPARTMENT
is CALLED OVER
Dense Smoke Renders Work
Of Firemen Difficult
Repairs Under Way

Fire originating in the furnace
room, for several hours Sunday morn
ing, threatened the destruction of
Hotel Kennewick. 1t was due only to
the stubborn efforts of the Kenne-
wick fire boys, ably assisted by MEM
bers Of the Pasco Fire department,
that the flames were held in check
and finally subdued before spreading
to the upper floors of the building.
For four hours the firemen battled
with the fire which ate its way along
the joists underneath the floors.
The fire started between one and
two o'clock in a pile of waste pap
er in the furnace ROOM. Mrs! e. M.
Stewart, proprietor Of the hotel, who
was on night duty, was in the base-
ment killing water bugs with a torch,
where sparks from the torch fell i'm
to the waste paper. The flames quick
ly spread beyond her control and she.
was forced from the. basement. She
awakened Day Clerk ID. L. Taylor but
by the time he arrived down stairs
it was impossible to enter the base
ment because Of the dense smoke. He
turned in the alarm which was quick
ly responded to.
BY the time the department ar
rived the flames had crept up post
in the basement and were spreading
rapidly in the floor supports in that
part of the building where there is
no basement and the floor is but q
few feet from the ground. BY that
time every room was filled with thick
clouds of smoke which rendered the
work of firemen extremely difficult.
Flames in the furnace room were
quickly extinguished but to locate
the fire under the floors and bring
the hose into play proved a big task.
After the fire had been burning
for an hour it appeared that the de-
partment would be unable to keep IL
under control and Mayor Desgranges
gave orders to summon the Pasco
Fire department and within very
few minutes the truck from across
the river arrived and the Pasco fire
men rendered valuable assistance.
At no time was any Of the guests
in serious danger. All of them left
their rooms and found lodging at the
Commercial Hotel or with friends,
and as precaution the books and
fixtures were removed from the Of
fices of the Columbia Irrigation Dis
trict and the Northern Pacific Irri-
cation company and from the Hotel
lobby.
The adjustor from the Sun and the
Globe companies in which Mrs. M.
o. Kitten, owner of the building, car
ried her insurance were here yester-
day and a satisfactory adjustment
of the loss was made. The adjuster
highly commended the effective work
of the fire departments. Work Of re-
pairing the damage started this
morning. In addition to restoring the
burned floors it will be necessary to
refinish the walls of all rooms on
the first two floors.

ALL SET FOR
IRRIGATION
Columbia Irrigation District
will Soon Begin Delivery
to Waterusers

The canals of the Columbia Irriga-
ton district are now primed with a
small head Of water throughout. The
work has gone smoothly, with less
than the average amount Of trouble
and mishaps for this rather trouble
some operation. The water will be
raised few inches day, as rapidly
as safety will permit. Each water
user is requested to get in touch with
his patrolman, by phone, bysa note
on the headgate box, through the
manager or whatever means is handi-
est and let them know q couple of
days in advance when he will want
water. It is physically impossible for
the patrolman to look up all the wa
terusers in a short time, they are too
many and too badly scattered. And it
takes some time to get the extra
water down and to watch and regu-
late it on the way.
The regular operating force will
be the same as last year with two
exceptions. The headgate beat will
be handled by j. d. Gabrian. Beat
number two remains in the hands Of
Herman Belts; beat three, G. Ball;
beat four, Lowell Shoemaker; beat
five, Charley Evans; beat six, on la
teral two will remain in charge Of
N. M. Broughman and H. Burfiend
will look after beat number seven.
Billy Altrogge will continue to shoot
trouble whenever it appears, assist
ed by Elmer Hinkle, and Clarence
Ennis will stay on the trail Of the
pocket gopher, while Frank Maupin
will be in the office. These men, one
and all, will do their level best to
serve the people of this valley by
seeing that the water is delivered to
the service gates as regularly and
as economically as men can make it
run. They are too few to be on every
part of fifty miles Of main bitches
at all times, however, and need the
help and cooperation of every water
user. So if you see something going
on that don't look right to you, call
up the manager and tell him about
it. He will appreciate it greatly.

MORE FACTS
ABOUT PROJECTS
Secretary of Interior Wants
Thoro Investigation of
Economic Features

Proposed legislation, designed to
encourage the undertaking of new
and feasible reclamation projects un-
der conditions which will as nearly as
possible secure their success, has
been submitted to congress by Sec
retary of the Interior in the form of
drafted bill.
The new plan provides that before
attempting the construction of new
irrigation project or the extension of
an existing project in the future, the
secretary of the interior shall first
obtain a detailed report concerning
water supply, engineering features,
cost of construction, land prices and
probable acre cost of development.
In addition, a report shall be secured
thru the secretary of agriculture with
relation to the climate, soil, kinds Of
crop for which the project is adapt
ed and probable production and also
a report thru the secretary of COM
merce with respect to transportation
facilities, markets and other economic
factors affecting the proposed pro-
ject.
The proposed measure has the ap-
proval of the committee of special
advisors who have been conducting
an exhaustive study of the policy and
methods of government reclamation
during the last five months. In a
communication forwarded to the
chairman of committees on irriga-
ton and reclamation of the senate
and house of Representatives, the Sec
retary said:
II enclose herewith draft of meas
ure designed to encourage the under
taking of new and feasible reclama-
tion projects, under conditions which
will, as nearly as possible, insure
their success.
Lack of proper study along var
ious lines, particularly those of eli
mate, soil, crops and economic prob
lens, coupled with underestimates as
to cost Of construction, have contrib
uted to difficulties on some projects
already built or under construction.

4Fev people realize" said Mr.. Ev-

working about 800 men and expect to

"a. The estimated cost of the Rim
rock work is $4,613,000 and it will

M. Evans says that about $500
scres Of timber land will be utilized

ftom these lands last year and ali
slashings burned. On about 100 acres
TIE logs still remain and the service
i letting small contracts for cutting
and decking these logs. Very little
equipment is needed to handle one of
these contracts. A man with from
two to six teams can easily handle
sns Of them Full particulars regard
ing the contracts may be obtained
b writing the reclamation service
ct Rimrock.
Mr. Evans expressed surprise that
more people from this district did not
drive up to the dam during the sum-
mer months. 1T is only about once
IN life time that people have an
opportunity to see work of this mag
nitude in progress and the trip from
here would be pleasant outing, .

storage system of the Yakima pro-
Jet, and is located on the Tieton riv-
q, about rs miles from Naches, the
nearest railroad point, and about 81

Dear Sir and Madam:
This is to notify you that / will
not be responsible for any expenses
that you might incur for the keeping
of my son, any bills for clothing,
board, or any other expense, l will
not pay.
If Willie wants to come home and
has not the money | will send him a
ticket so that he can get here, if he
will write me.
| hope we will not have any hard
feelings about this matter, but Mr..
Lehman took my daughter to his
house and kept her for two months
and told me that he wasn't going to
charge anything for keeping her, and
today told me that he was going to
charge me for the time that she
stayed there, so you see that if she
stayed there two years he might
charge me two years board.
Yours very truly,
