NEW BRIDGE PLANNED

With the contractors erecting
steel on the Vantage Ferry bridge,
highway engineers have begun
preparing plans for the structure
that will span the Columbia river
at Kettle Falls, which probably
will be the next of the east side
bridges to be thown across the
mighty Columbia. If the legisla-
ture agrees the Kettle Falls bridge
will be built during the next bien-
MUM. Two other bridges on the
highway program are those to
cross the Columbia at Chelan Falls
and at Clark's Ferry, just north
of Wilbur. The travel on state
road No. a does not require early
work on the bridge at Clark's Fer
ry but the construction of a hydro
electric plant at Lake Chelan and
the development of the Okanogan
country and the part of Douglas
county nearest Wenatchee coupled
with the desire to avoid the dam
gers of Knapps Hill, are strong
reasons for early construction of
the Chelan Falls bridge.

ROCKY ROAD FOR BIDDERS

There's more than the auto own
er's money, the skill of the engin-
GERS and carefully placed mater
1als in the highway system of this
state. Though the traveller cannot
see them the contractors money
has gone into the roads and the
blasted hopes of the builders who
Did on the state jobs are buried
beneath the hard surface.
More than so per cent, some
highway department officials es-
innate as high as rs per cent, of
the road contractors lose money
on their jobs. Not all of them are
wrecked by their highway building
ventures but some of them are.
When the experts whittle down the
number of highway contracting
nrms that are making fair pro-
mt out of their seasons work,
to as low as 25 per cent the fact
looms large that the road building
fraternity is making a substantial
donation to the highway system
that never has been credited to
them.
Early in the year it was fore
told that bitter competition would
hold down the prices paid for

I DEPARTMENTS

The freshman English class is
still studying ballads. At present
they are reading "The Singing
Seamen.' One freshman, when ask
ed her opinion of the ballad, said

some hopeful students tho.
The sophomores are still read
ing Silas Mariner, but the juniors
have at last finished Travels of

ing how to write plays. The rea-
son for this, according to the
Juniors, is to enable them to fully
appreciate the senior play Friday
night. ~
The world history class is study
ing the founding of Rome and the
government Of that city. Most of
the students have already planned
to visit Rome after they learn the
city by heart.
In U. S. history we have just
finished the Civil War and the
reconstruction period. Some lively
debates are the result of some
recitations. Levy and Lawrence
ought to turn out for senior de-
bate. So .-...
The English history class they
are studying Bubonic Plague or
the Black Death, and it's effect on
English politics and government.
The freshman Latin class is at
last studying the 18th conjugation.
The second year class is rapidly
advancing in the translation of

Caesars advances and campaigns.
Mr.. Clark's physics class has
been studying force" Contrary

two boys three weeks to work one
experiment. Today Mr.. Clark is
giving them six weeks test, and
he promises no easy one. i
The chemistry class has at last
learned to balance equations and
part Of the class can find the
weights of different compounds
Miss Pecar feels more hopeful
than she did last week. But just
wait until after the six weeks test
on Wednesday.
The biology class is studying
equisetum, more commonly known
as railroad grass" Some of the
students didn't expect the study
Of this grass or they would have
paid more attention to it formerly.
The geometry class is studying
inequalities. The algebra class has
been studying the difference be-
tween algebra and arithmetic, and
between percentage and motion.
They are almost ready to start on
digit problems

EDITORIAL
SAD, BUT VERY TRUE

-
Twelve weeks ago we showed
our little crafts out on that mys-
ferrous sea of knowledge. Now
again we see the approaching.
threatening, waves of the six
weeks exams. Some Of us are bet
ter prepared to meet the oncom-
ing danger that will decide our
understanding Of this strange sea
than others.
Those who have been just drift
ing along with the tide will not
know how to handle their small
bark and thus be swept far off
their course. Vainly they will scan
their charts and guide books at
the last minute to see what to do
in such a catastrophy. But alas!
too late; the waves are upon them
and their last minute examining
has been in vain. The small craft
is swept mercilessly on the sharp
rocks and perhaps dashed to piec-
es. Such students cannot stand
many of these storms and so we
find them at the end of the year,
just as far from port as when
they started. w..
Those who have been studying
hard will find their efforts have
not been in vain. AS expert sea-
men they will steer clear of the
jutting rocks of failure and at the
end Of the year you will find them
safely anchored in the harbor. One
more year of work accomplished
and one step nearer their goal.

PLAY THE GAME

When the other side is winning,
And stuff is going wrong, IS
And no matter how you battle
You can't get going strong;
Don't be the one to blame, #
But grit your teeth and buckle
down,
And, Buddy, Play the game.
When you just can't seem to rally,
And you can't bring down the lead,
When the chap who sprained his
ankle,
Was just the one you need; "
When the good old bunch seems
beaten.
And the team is stiff and lame,
just call CHEEKY word or two,
And, Buddy-Play the game.
And when a chance to cheat comes
up =s 5-..Ez
When no one would ever know,
Remember, boy, your team plays
So play the game and let it go.
When you feel like lying down,
Tho it bring your old school shame
Remember it's when your losing
That you have to play the game.
Then when the show is over,
And the other bunch has won,
And all your dreams are shattered,
And you feel your day is done,
You don't feel very cheerful,
But. Buddy, just the same,
It doesn't hurt one half so much,
If you know you've played the
game.

the engineers are probably the on

SPORTS

Thursday, November IL. Pasco
came to Kennewick with the in
tention of taking home an easy
victory, but when the fuss was all
over they were very lucky to get
q to 3 decision. The Kennewick
boys played a fine brand of foot
ball and it is doubtful if Pasco
would have scored at all had it
not been for 15-yard penalty i'm
posed on Kennewick, which placed
the ball on the 1-yard line. And
even then it took four line bucks
before Kelly was able to push the
ball over. The try for point was
not converted. The game then see
sawed back and forth with no de-
cided advantage going to either
team. Then Kennewick got within
scoring distance and Colean was
called back to drop kick from the
35-yard line. The kick was a won
derful one, going straight and true
between the uprights. In addition
to making three points for Kenne-
wick, it also made the first time
this season that Pasco has been
scored upon. Truly, it was a great
game, and one which will long be
remembered. The lineup for Ken
newick was: Carpenter and Camp
bell, ends; Garrett and Reese,
tackles; Scott and Koelker, guards;
Boyer, quarterback; Richter, full
back; Broughman and Colean,
halfbacks.
Thanksgiving Day, the boys go
to Pasco for the last game of the
season. The morale of the team
has been considerably buoyed up
by the results of Thursdays game.
and Kennewick is going to Pasco
Thanksgiving Day with the inten-
ton of bringing home the turkey.

October g.. State Department off
Gals today were greatly concerned
over the far-reaching effect Of such
action.
Growing anti-foreign feeling in
China, which has been enhanced in
stead of diminished by chaotic con-

in the negotiation OF treaties pro-
viding for equal tariff rights and
abrogation of extra territorial rights
with Germany, Austria, Persia and
Finland.
Officials here are confident that
IL conditions in China permit a sus-
tanning anti-foreign policy, the
United States will be among the
last nations affected. The United
States has furthered both the Gus
toms conference and a study of
extra -territoriality with view of
remedying conditions assailed by
the Chinese as oppressive and per-
petuating foreign domination.
