PLAN OTHER
STREET WORK
Will Try Road Oiling on
Short Stretch Inside
" City Limits

Such wonderful reports have
been made of the success of the
road oiling plan that is being tried
out on the famous Columbia high
way down the river to Portland,
that Benton county will try a few
experiments along that line. And
the city of Kennewick hopes to be
able to get a little of the work too.
Commissioner Briggs is getting
the equipment to oil stretch from
the city limits west over the High
lands road. While the equipment
is available the city is planning 20
improve the stretch between the
canal and the city limits. BY de-
voting the money it costs to main
tain that piece of road for a year
to this improvement, and with a
donation from the property own
ers along that street it is thought
that the expense of the experiment
can be met.
Should the work prove as sue
cessful as it apparently has on the
Columbia Highway no doubt all
the principal streets in the city
limits could be improved at cost
of but little more than an average
years maintenance expense.
Included in this years street i'm
provement work will be the re-
grading of the graveled streets
down town and the grading and
graveling of the street leading to
the S. P. & S. depot.

COMEDIANS GOOD

Kelly's Comedians opened lat
Kennewick Monday night to a full
house. The opening play "The re-
turn of John Slater" was received
by the audience with gobs of mer-
riment. Tobe Leitch, the feature
comedian is perhaps one of the
funniest comedians that ever came
to Kennewick in either tent or
theatre, carried the comedy role.
The rest of it's cast was well bal
anced, and put on performance
that compares favorably with the
better class road shows. -.
The company remains all week
including Sunday with change
of program nightly. ...+.~- '~

GETTING SET
FOR THE FAIR
Premium List is About
Completed-No Live
stock This Year

The premium lists for the Ken
newick Fair will soon be in the
hands of the printers. The dates
this year will be September 17-18,
the week end just proceeding the
state fair to be held in Yakima.
where the prize winning exhibits
will be put on display.
Prizes for the exhibits this year
are about the same, on the whole,
as were given last year. The big
gest changes made in the list was
the elimination Of the livestock de-
partment except for the boys and
girls club work. Poultry, however,
will occupy the usual space in the
premium list.
This year an effort will be made
to provide more entertainment fea-
lures. It is likely that the Badger
Canyon frolic will be retained, but
in addition other interesting feat
.ures will be added. It is hoped that
the merchants of the town can be
induced to make individual dis
plays that will be of interest. These
features have proven of interest
in other communities and have
taken big.
-
The committee which has the
fair work in charge is composed
of representatives from all the or
ganizations Of a civic nature in
the community and is meeting each
Friday night at the Commercial
club rooms. Those who have sug-
gestions for the betterment of the
fair, or who are interested in the
work are invited to be present at
any of the regular meetings.
The fruit and vegetable displays
this year should surpass all pre-.
vious showings, for committeeman
report that the size and quality
this year is exceeding former years.
They request that all especially
fine specimens be saved for exhi-
bition.

fair shape now and Resident En-

AUGUST oath
Is LAST DAY
Three Weeks Left to Get
Names on Registra-.
ton Books

August "a will be the last day
for registration before the pri-
maries. This fact is being stressed
BY politicians, office seekers and
those who are anxious to get out
. huge vote primary day. The fact
that the state elects United
States senator, five congressman,
~ members of the house of repre-
sentatives in the state legislature,
% state senator's, complete coun-
" tickets as well as superior and
mpreme court judges makes the
election one of considerable impor-
lance. Incidently the controversy
between the administrator and
legislative branches of the state
government has also bearing on
the situation.
For the first time in many years
this state is once more going to
hear the wet and dry issue thresh-
ed over from the campaign stump.
Efforts to dodge it are proving
futile. In the republican party, the
issue is raised by Frank Hammond
of Seattle, a candidate for the
nomination for United States sem
ator against Wesley L. Jones.
Hammond is demanding modifica-
ton of the Volstead enforcement
act.
The same issue is raised in the
democratic party with A. Scott
Bullitt, who has apparently been
given clear field in the senator
ial race. Bullitt is demanding mod
i6cation Of repeal of the Volstead
act.
Again in the congressional race
it is being raised in the first dis
tict where Stephen F. Chadwick
has filed for congress against John
+. Miller, adopting as few of his
campaign issues, Estates rights .
and abolition of Federal bureau
control of state functions" and
against the world court"
The republicans will have to bat
tie the question out in their own
party first. Then they will meet
the issue with the democratic nom-
inees and there is no prospect Of
it being side stepped or lodged.
One thing is certain. The cam
paign promises to put the prohibi-
ton enforcement in the state Of
Washington under the limelight
Of publicity, will review the now
notorious report filed at Washing
ton more than a year ago which
was buried and refused publicity,
and will generally consider the ac-
tivities of the federal agents in
the state.
