Interstate Commerce Com
mission Grants New
Roads Request
wENATCHEE SOUTH.
CAN NOW BE BUILT
Wenatchee Editor Says that
Construction Will
Start Soon

A wire received This morning by
the Courier-Reporter from Congress-
man John w. Summers, brought the
welcome information that the Inter-
state Commission has granted the
request of the Wenatchee-Southern
railway and has issued it a certifi-
cate of necessity. ~g..
Similar information is contained in
long distance message from Rufus
Woods, editor of the Wenatchee
World to the Richland Advocate. Mr..
Woods states that officials of the
company residing in Wenatchee an
nounced that they will Immediately
begin preparations for construction
in the hope that actual building can
be started this fall. aaf - F
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has had the Wenatchee Southern
case under consideration for many
months. The application Of the new
company for permission to build has
been stobbornly fought by the Great
Northern, the only railroad which
now serves the Wenatchee district.
Two hearings We're held by the COM
mission. Following the first the
commission examiner filed an adverse
report and recommended that the ap-
plication be denied. Promoters Ut
the new road however, succeeded in
getting the case reopened and at the
second hearing held in Wenatchee
abundant testimony was introduced
to show that the great fruit-growing
section of North Central Washington
is not adequately served by the Great
/ Northern, that the new road could
be properly financed, and that there
was reasonable assurance that it
could operate without a deficit. AT
the hearing, the Great Northern
sought without success, to establish
the fact that the proposed road is
to be financed by either the Milwal-
kee or the Union Pacific.
The Wenatchee Southern as pro-
was, organized and has been promot-
ed by the business men and farmers
of the Wenatchee district for the
purpose of seeking new outlets for
the fruit crop and they have worked
earnestly and with unflagging zeal
to insure the success Of the new en-
terprise.
The Wenatchee oSuthern as pro-
posed will be built from Wenatchee
to Kennewick on water grade down
the Columbia river valley. Arrange
ments have been made with the Mil
waukee for the use of its tracks from
the main line at Beverley to Hanford
the present terminus of the Colum-
bia River Valley branch. in Kenne-
wick, the new road will be afforded
connections with the Northern Pacif-
ic, Union Pacific and the S. P. & S.
rail lines.

have an extra seat in your car and
will ask club member from your
community to come with you, it will
be more than appreciated.

CHAUTAUQUA
+. COMING AGAIN
Ellison-White Company Re-
fuse to Take Kenne-
wick off Boards

No, absolutely not. Kennewick
could never get along without Chau-
tauqua. A progressive town like ours
filled with cultured people who de-
mand the better things in life. Oh,
no, no! And so it was that the writer
and thirty-four other suckers fought,
bled and died on the dotted line.
Now, we have lot of respect for
the Ellison White Co. They sent a
highpowered salesman into Kenne-
wick last week who was determined
that this community should share in
the benefits offered by their nom
profit organization, which has In view
the uplift of humanity. He brought
the tears to our eyes for several days
as he pictured the benefits to man
that this company could not give to
our city until thirty-five stalwart
men and women, "the best of the
town" had signed and agreed to go
forth to battle for they knew not
what.
An interesting salesman this young
man. He is superintendent of schools
in North Bend, a live town down in
Oregon. He is vice-presilent of the
Oregon Chamber of Commerce, and
in general just the kind of man Eli
SON. White would choose to make us
think that the ink on those contracts
couldn't take on a, crimson hue next
July. This fellow, M. S. Taylor, is
real optimist. Oh, he was just full
of it. He had the town just full of
it, when. he left yesterday and took
most of it with him.
Mr.. Taylor assured the battle-scar-
red veterans, who enlisted in this
conflict for humanity, that there
would be no trouble about Sunday
programs. How he knows is beyond
us. We didn't see anything to that
effect in the contract, but it must
have been there because he seemed so
optomistic. So the following signed
as most of them have before for
just one more year."

STILL MARKET,
81 ING POTATOES
Three Rivers Association
=: Are Holding To
I'D W.. Steady Market > 81.

When the potato market went off
several weeks ago Manager Lee N.
Lampson of the Three Rivers Grow
ers Association called a meeting of
the growers to inform them of the
marketing situation. At that time
nearly all the growers determined
to hold their spuds and not dig till
the market was steady at $4,000 per
ton. This procedure has been fol-
lowed and now several cars a day are
being shipped without forcing the
market.
To date, Mr.. Lampson has handled
63 cars, which he estimates as prob
ably two-thirds of the early potato
crop. Most of these shipments are
now sent to Seattle.

GROCERY DOES WELL

The Kennewick Wholesale Grocery
company has just finished check
on their July business. This check
reveals the interesting fact that their
local business is showing decided
increase over last year. The July
records show that every local grocer
with the exception Of one, did more
business with the local wholesale
house than they did in July, 1923.

COVER CANS

DIR. A. G. Tullar, city health Off
GER, has received complaints that
many garbage cans in the city are
being left open, this negligence being
a violation of the city ordinance.
There is also a complaint that gar
bage is being dumped too near to the
high school. DR.. Tullar hopes that
these violations of the law will not
continue, as the city jail is uncom-
Portable these hot nights and fines
don't seem to do much good.

Kolb to Miss Ella I. Shonsbye at Seat
tie, Washington, on June 80, 1924. The
word touring" appears on the left

fame all over the Southwest as nav
igatora of the Colorado river through
the Grand Canyon, a daring movie
