TOWNS HELP ON
ROAD PUBLICITY
Umatilla Cutoff is in Fine
Shape This Year -
Another Big Sign

The road to Umatilla from Kenne-
wick has been put in first class shape,
according to report made to the
Commercial club last Thursday night
by County Commissioner R. II. Briggs
who is also a member of the roads
and tourists committee of the club.
No longer will residents have to make
excuses for the unimproved portion
of the cutoff to Portland. -
Last year the state graded and
graveled all but about five miles Of
this road, making it state highway.
The lower portion of the road, about
five miles had nothing done to it.
Being a steep grade and very sandy
the community came in for some
sharp rebukes after recommending
the route to tourists. -tos
This road has been put in first class
shape this year by the county and ef-
forts will again be made to route
traffic thru Kennewick. President ID.
G. Rodgers is in Spokane and inter-
mediate towns this week enlisting
support. The following telegram was
received this morning regarding his
success:
clowns between Kennewick and
Spokane will support map propo-
sition. They will support financial
ly the construction of big sign
at Umatilla on Columbia highway
directing tourists via Umatilla cut
off. Mr.. Dessert, Pacific Hotel, at
Spokane, will give same financial
support he did last year."
Last year the club put out $4,000
tourist maps which were distributed
from Spokane to the coast and result
ed in a substantial increase in the
tourist traffic thru Kennewick. A
huge sign was erected on the high
way near Cheney directing tourists
thru this section. This year the club
will put out more maps and, as in
dicated in the above message, another
sign on the Columbia highway.

LOSE FIRST ONE
TO WALLULA
Ball Team Gets Beat 2 to /
in Early Season Game
Form League

Games played one; won. none; per-
centage ditto. That's the beautiful
record of the Kennewick base ball
team SO far this season as result
of a preseason skirmish- with the
team at Wallula last Sunday when a
two-to-one score was recorded.
But nobody is discouraged yet.
There is plenty of good ball material
here this year and winning team
should be secured in time for the op-
ening game in the Strawberry league.
The game Sunday was a good one,
both teams playing unusually well for
SO early in the season.
Next Sunday the first game of the
season on the home grounds will be
played with Richland. Richland has
materially strengthened her lineup
this year and good game is looked
for.
Tonight meeting is being held at
the Commercial club room for the
purpose of perfecting the league for
this year. A schedule will be arranged
as soon as possible.

6 MILLION FOR
NEW ROAD WORK
Over a Million in Federal
Money to be Spent on
State Highways

But little more than half the es-
timated amount of money the motor
vehicle fund will receive this year
will be available for new highway
construction. A total of 50, 4,132, ,269.90
will be withdrawn from the total col
lections for motor vehicle licenses
and gas taxes to meet six items Of
expense that must be paid before
new construction is. financed. They
are: maintenance of state highways
outside Incorporated cities and towns,
81 1895, $50; maintenance within city
limits, $118,e00; engineering expens-
|es, $105,000; department of licenses
S14S,700; state treasurer. $25,000;
$25, 900; allotted to counties for per-
manent highways, $1,737, ,039.90.
Last year the total gas tax and
motor vehicle license collections just
crossed the $S,000,000 line. High
way department experts estimate a
ten per cent increase this year and
early figures indicate that this ex-
pectation will be realized. If so there
will be SS,S00,OO0 available from state
sources, or $4,667, ,73O for new con-
struction and S4,132,270 for other
purposes.
In addition to the state funds there
will be approximately S1,113.OOO of
federal aid money received after july
1, for new construction. This makes
combined total of $5,7SO,73O to nav
for new work.

Mrs. Harriott Beach was down
from Spokane the last of the week
looking after property interests and
calling on old friends. And speaking
of Kennewick pioneers, Mrs. Beach
is probably the original, coming as
she did with her family before the
Northern Pacific built their bridge
over the river. Later Mr.. Beach took
up land here, the Beach addition be-
ing part of their homestead. Mrs,
Beach says that Kennewick products
bring higher prices on the Spokane
markets because of their superiority

TODAY
TODAY
Pleasure Buyers"
A Real Thriller

HThe Pleasure Buyers" the War
Ger Bros. picture which shows at the
Monroe Theatre today, proved to be
about as exciting a mystery picture
rs the screen has given US. Adapted
from Arthur Somers Roche's Cos
anopolitan Magazine story, it pre-
EeryeS the suspense of the original,
while adding to it an unexpected de-
zouement that will surprise those
sho have read the story.
As it unfolds upon the screen, the
F;cIure is enough to BATTLE the de-
1-ctive abilities of the most expert
IN the anravelling of mystery plots.
IL is one of those thrillers in which
everybody concerned is under sus-
picion, so that if you are pretty
Clever you are likely to pick the
least suspicious person as the GRIM
nal in the case.
The case concerns the murder of
Gene Cassenas, a gay society favor
tie, who is shot while sitting in his
Injurious home at smart resort.
The bullet has come through the
window from the dark outside.
Back of Cassenas lies career that
aas afforded Justification for half a
dozen murders, and suspicion final
" concentrates upon half dozen
people. But we are not going to
tell you who the guilty one was.
The solution of the mystery calls for
4 visit to the Monroe Theatre.
'The Pleasure Buyers" is. adroit-
81 conceived, beautifully produced,
and eScellently acted by cast that
includes Irene Rich, Give Brook,
6ayne Whitman, Charles Conklin,
June NARROW, Don Alvarado, Frank
Campeau, Winter Hall, Edward Peil,
and Frank Leigh. The smooth di-
rection was due to Chef Whitney, and
those experts scenarists, Hope Lor-
ing and Louis, d. Lighton, did them
selves proud with Mr.. Roche's story.
Irene Rich, of course, is the star,
md she was never more lovely than
rs the gay society woman who finds
Asrself enmeshed in the murder
mystery. Her playing is marked by
such deft. smart sophistication that
It stands out as masterpiece of the
players art. The cast of well known
players who appear with her give her
axcellent support.
