A REVIVAL

"A 6
TT ENNEWICK has experienced revival OF interest III
n this community by people desiring homes IN this val
lev During the past month sales have been mace anu
more INQUIRIES received than any like period since the
agricultural depression which followed the war; There seems
to be feeling that Kennewck farm lands are
and we not only share this opinion but wish to predict tat
land under the Kennewck project WILL within very lew
years reach higher OF value than tnat attaeu
under any other project in the northwest that follows Oh
versiied farming
We make this prediction because we feel that cne
Kennewck district has only found ITSELF but the mar
kets for products have been extended that the
growers of some products already finding
to meet the demand conditions coupled with the 1ac
that we have the earliest growing season IN the northwest
which gives us the higher price pound for what we put
on the market makes this prediction douby safe.
Take the asparagus market for instance tremendous
increase in that crop this year met with much greater
increase in demand eastern states and record prices
were received Kennewck will always lead the northwest
in prices received other products such as
apricots peaches and early apples SO why are we
in predictong proportonate rise IN the vaue o.
land that is raising the most valuable products
There is another feature in the KenneW1ck project
which makes it an outstanding irrigation unit It always mas
water Even when the Sunnyside dam goes dry there IS
enough return flow of water coming back into the river
bed to reate here at capacity Kennewck has never
advertised this advantage to the world but reports from
other northwest projects again indicate water shortage
and curtaled use has already been ordered
Yes we pretty safe in predicting an increase in value
for Kennewick lands.

Hartford Man Says He Wanted Money to Take
 Child to Doctor

Hartford, Jan. 21 P-Samuel Els ner's desire to cure his two and one half year old crippled daughter in spired him to enter into the illicit liquor trade, according to testimony in police court today.
 His attorney told Judge Shatz that Eisner, who is a widower, had ar- ranged for treatment by Dr. Lorenz, the famous Vienna surgeon, some time ago. The father noticed signs of improvement in the child's con- dition and planned again to send her to one of the clinics instituted by Dr. Lorenz in New York, but suffi- cicnt funds were not available, the lawyer said, and Eisner decided to go into the liquor business.
 Eisncr was arrested Wednesday morning when the liquor squad raid ed the garage in the rear of 99 Love Lane. Eisner admitted ownership of 36 gallons of alcohol discovered in the place.
 Prosecuting Attorney John L. Bonee told Judge Schatz that he was familiar with the story of Eisners misdirected and misguided efforts in his daughters behalf.
 The court imposed a fine of s200 and costs and suspended jail sen- tence of 10 days.
 Ut is well to provide for your
 
 Schatz, but you cannot expect her to be particularly proud of her fathers police record"
