HOGAN HOUSE
is TOTAL LOSS
Family B ar e ! y Escapes
with Lives in Early
Morning Fire

Kennewick celebrated Fire Pre-
vention week proper, two fires
marking the occasion. Monday
night the garage at the Bliss home
on Kennewick avenue being de-
stroyed and early this morning the
j. c.. Hogan home in the Garden
Tracts being completely burned.
The Bliss fire was caused by
detecting wiring it is thot and the
loss was nominal. An overheated
stove or a defective flue caused
the destruction of the Hogan home,
the family escaping with their
lives only. E.. Brace, the son-in-
law, started the fire before leaving
to get the mail at the S. P. & s..
station at five o'clock. The fire
had gained such headway by the
time he returned that it was only
with difficulty that the family was
aroused.
The Hogan house and contents
carried $500 Of insurance.

CUT WATER OFF
ON OCTOBER Is
Cool Weather Lessons the
Necessity for Irri-
cation

The irrigation season under the
Columbia district canal is drawing
near its end. Most of the users
have cut off, there is less than a
half head in the canals. The di-
rectors strongly desire to continue
service as long as the people really
need the water, but do not wish to
spend money needlessly by running
along after the need has passed.
The opinions of many users have
been asked, and it appears that
practically everyone will be served
by closing the season on October
18th. Should the weather remain
favorable, the headgates will be
closed October 18th. Should the
weather turn dry and warm, and
a sufficient number of users re-
quest it, water will be run a few
days longer.
AS soon as the bitches are dry
enough, about November 1st, work
will begin on the annual fall
cleaning. 1t will be generally light
er this year than usual, partly
because the bitches are in unus-
ually good shape and partly be-
cause special effort will be made
to hold down expenses.

construction of this project. In the
summer of 1920 the board met the
director Of the reclamation service
at Yakima and discussed the pro-
Ject with him. They were told that
1T would be necessary for the dis
trict to secure the water right of
the Pacific Power e. Light Co. and
the mill at Prosser. together with
the dam and all rights of diver
sion. together with right of way
for the power canal. AS a result
of that meeting the directors de-
cided to institute the necessary
actions to secure the water rights
and rights of way. Condemnation
suits were instituted against the
Pacific Power & Light Co., the
owners of the mill at Prosser and
all owners of any interest in the
diversion rights at the dam. The
City of Prosser intervened in
that suit. claiming a prior right
to a portion of the waters of the
Yakima river at that point. The
contention was sustained by the
lower court and the case was taken
to the Supreme court on review.
The decision of the lower court
was reversed and the case was
sent back for trial. The case was
transferred to Walla Walla coun-
ty for trial and was finally tried
before Judge NILS. Evidence was
offered by the power company and

CITY ELECTION
HAS BEEN O. X,
Law Making Change Does
Not Apply to Ken
newick @ fa

Well, we can all breathe easier
again. The city is not in such a
terrible muddle after all. While a
chapter in the latest session laws
apparently change the dates of
the city elections from the first
Tuesday in December to the first
Saturday, the legal lights have
decided that the change will not
apply to Kennewick. We're all
safe again.
The paragraph which caused all
the confusion reads as follows
All city, school district and port
district elections, other than in
Class A and first class counties,
whether general or special, and
whether for the election of officers
or for the submission to the voters
of such city, port district or school
district, of any question for their
adoption and approval or rejection,
in any port district, containing a
school district of the first class,
shall be held on the first Saturday
in December in the year in which
they may be called; Provided, that
this section shall not be construed
as fixing the time for holding the
elections for the recall of any city
or district officers or primary cleo
tion or special bond election.
That's a good paragraph. APP
parently it means that in cities
of this class the election day has
been changed. Read the thing
about eight times and you will
find that it says absolutely no.
thing. City Attorney C. L. Holcomb
states that the question has been
ruled upon by the attorney gen.
eral and supreme court decision
has also decreed that it did not
apply to Kennewick.

tain surveys of this project and
the organization was effected for
the purpose of further cooperation
between the district and the gov
ernment. It was then believed that
conditions were very favorable for
early construction Of this division.
The directors at that time, de-
string to avoid the expense of
maintaining a district office, ar
ranged with work of the district,
to keep his office all the secre-
tary's work Of the district, to keep
the books and records and to per-
form such legal services as might
be necessary. This arrangement
has continued from the original
organization until the present
time.
In the summer of 1919 the pros
pect Of early construction of the
project became more promising
and Mr.. Moulton was then sent
to Washington by the directors in
the interest of the district.
The directors of the reclamation
service during the years 1919 and
1920 had made repeated statements
indicating that the department
was then considering the early

To the Editor:
The directors of Kennewick Ir-
rigation District feel that the false
statements made in the recent pri-
mary campaign with reference to
money received by Mr.. Moulton,
one of the candidates, are a re-
Election upon the integrity of the
directors who had full knowledge
Of, and approved, all payments
made to him.
The public is interested in know
ing the exact truth concerning the
statements that have been made
and it is our desire, thru the col
umns of your paper, to present a
history of the relationship between
Mr.. Moulton and the irrigation dis
trict, including the services rem
dered by him and the compensa-
tion paid to him.
This district was organized in
the summer of 1917 at the request
of the U. S. Reclamation service,

ject.

Big Rainbow Trout is Received

"Mr. Banta and I are sending

ed in a letter received this week
from Mrs. R. L. Banta from Mid
dleport, where they have been

ment was entirely correct-it was
a real fish. A rainbow trout meas
uring twenty-one inches long and
weighing three and a half pounds
came packed in ice Sunday and
was greatly appreciated by the
Reed family.
Mrs. Banta says in her letter
that she caught it just two hours
before the season closed at the

says she has caught larger ones

CITY TAX LEVY
is 21.4 MILLS
Budget for 1927 Shows
Increase for Street
improvements

The city tax levy for the en-
suing year has been set at 21.4
mills for all purposes, in the bud
get which received its final con-
sideration by the council at their
meeting Tuesday night. This is an
increase of nearly three mills over
the levy made last year, but the
extra millage goes to the bonded
indebtedness and right of way
funds, the general fund being run
under the same figures as have
been set in the past four years.
The city's highest levy was "a
mills four years ago.
The current expense fund was
set at fifteen mills, one mill for
the city park, four mills for bond
ed indebtedness retirement and a
mill and four tenths for the re-
tirement Of the bonds for the right
of way for the new pavement.
Each mill levy raises about eleven
hundred dollars in taxes.
Estimated expenditures for all
purpose during the coming year
were set at $27,276.00. The tax
levy will raise S25,096, the balance
of the amount to be covered by
various receipts by the city in the
way Of fines, licenses, etc.
The largest item in the new bud
get is $500 in the treasurer's de-
partment. This item covers the
current expense fund and the in
terest and payments on the bond
ed indebtedness. Street improve
ment expenses were placed at ST.
500, which was the figure for this
year. The p. p. & l.. Co. is listed
to receive $4,000 during the COM
ing year for rent on the fire
hydrants.
Kennewick has cleaned up its
warrant indebtedness during the
past few years and has been op-
Grating upon a cash basis. This
years operation has shown sub
stantial savings of over eight
hundred dollars and with between
three and four thousand dollers
expected from taxes during Mo-
vember and December of this year.

SPEAKERS ENLIVEN
CLUB LUNCHEON

An unusually interesting pro-
gram was put on at the COM
mercial club luncheon today, when
DR.. Short was the principal speak
er. Members of the public service
commission of the state were also
called upon, as was former May
or Geo. Tweedt, and A. R. Gardner,
former editor of this paper.
DR.. Short spoke briefly on
Building Community" He
stressed the fact that dollar-gath-
ering was not the principal object
in building a city. That citizen
building was by far the most inn
portant thing a community could
engage in. DIR. Short is head of
the educational department of the
j. C. Penney organization and de-
votes his entire time to speaking
IN the various towns in which the
company has stores. He is an elo-
quent talker and his lecture to-
night at the M. E. church will no
doubt be we'll attended.
The men on the public service
commission are here to attend the
hearing on the necessity of the
bus lines that have petitioned for
certificates of necessity. The routes
asked for are from Pasco to Pros
ser to connect with the Prosser-
Yakima line, and line from
Cheney to Umatilla. Testimony
was received and the board will
take the pleas under advisement.
No decision was rendered today,
as both sides will present briefs.
George Tweedt, former resi-
dent, who is in town for the week,
gave a short talk complimenting
the community on the progress

that has been made in the COM
paratively short time he has been
away. Mr.. Gardner gave one of
his always humorous and interest
ing talks which was heartily en-
Joyed by his old friends.
The special committee appointed
last week to interview the county
commissioners in regard to appro-
prlatlng money for the annual
scale cleanup in the orchards. re-
ported that the budget had been
completed and no additions could
be made at this time. The COM
missioners, however, promised
that they would declare an emer-
gency in the spring, when the work
was needed and handle the matter
as before.
