PAsCO HELPS

Dean S. B. Nelson Of W.S.C.
was the principal speaker at the
Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday. when
the Pasco club had charge of the
program. Twenty-seven Pasco XII
wanians were present.
The dean told of the vast strides
that had been made in the state
in helping the farmer. He pointed
out that Washington now con-
tanned cows, chickens and swine
that held international records for
production. That dairy and poul-
try produced were staples without
which the country could not pros
per, but that the state still inn
ports over seven million dollars
annually worth of pork and pork
products. He said that this feature
of the farming situation should be
stressed and urged the Kiwanis
clubs Of the state to extend their
activities into the countryside.

CUT MADE IN
PUMPING COST
P. P. & l.. Files New Rate
to Lower Expense of
g. Irrigation

Power used for irrigation pur-
poses will cost less now that the
Pacific Power & Light Company
has filed with the department Of
public works a revision of its ex-
isting general power rate sched-
ule which will be of substantial
benefit to its farm customers in
the state of Washington who are
using electric power for irrigation
pumping purposes. Heretofore ir-
rlgatlon power service has been
available to farmers under special
rates for that particular class of
service. Under the new arrange
ment those special rates are can
celled and farmers will be given
power for irrigation purposes un-
der the six months seasonal pro-
vision of the regular power rate.
This will result in substantial
lowering of their irrigation costs.
1t is estimated that Washington
farmers served by Pacific Power
& Light Company. will under the
new rate during 1927, save not
less than $4,000, in power bills,
this saving being in addition to
the substantial savings realized
under the reduced rates for light
ing, cooking and general power
service made effective by the COM
pany, August /, 1926. ~-. &c.
This reduction is being made by
the company in accordance with
its usual policy of voluntarily re-
ducing its rates as much and as
rapidly as permitted by its earn
ings and the conditions under
which its power system must be
maintained and operated. The new
rate for irrigation service affects
the campany's territory in the
state of Washington west of Aso-
tin county, and will become effec-
tive April first to permit reduced
charges on this years irrigation
power service bills. Il

DISTRIBUTION OF HUGE ROAD
FUND IS HOLDING UP SESSION
This Biennium will Spend Nearly Eight Million More
for Highways-Total will be Nearly s3OOOO,OOO
Little Else is Accomplished in Session

The Legislature is deadlocked,
tied up over the road program.
Consequently. with only a few
days left, it looks as if the legis-
lature will do we'll to turn out the
road program and general appro-
priations bill before March 10, the
last day. Only a few other bills
will trickle thru, none of any con-
sequence. More than 800 bills will
die in committees.
1t is virtually certain that the
road budget will total s26. 100000
at least, nearly eight million more
than the road bill for the last
biennium-a record that the most
enthusiastic road boosters did not
expect to reach before 1890. The
magnitude of the budget is en-
phasized when it is recalled that
in 1920 the state threw up its
hands, startled and alarmed, and
defeated the Carlyon initiative for
a $30,000,00O bond issue to extend
over a period of years. Now,
scarcely seven years later, the
legislature is ready to vote $685.
100000 for two years.
In fact, the total road bill may
be close to $3O,0OO,0OO. Motor We
,hicle receipts up to January 1,
1929. are estimated just short of
$21 200, 900. Then there is the re-
appropriation unused this bien-
MUM, of S1,200,000. Then there
is more than two million in federal
and forestry aid. That makes more
than $24,000,000 in sight. }
s Now it is planned to extend the
biennium from the year and UP to
April 1, which gives this legisla-
ture more than $4,000,000 extra
from the three months gasoline
tax and motor vehicle licenses.
Besides, there is still chance
that the conflicting plans for add
ing another cent to the gasoline
tax. which would mean nearly two
million dollars a year more, might
be adjusted. There is a strong
move to put on an extra cent and
use the money for an east-west
paved highway or ssfarm-to-mar-
ket' roads. H. 20 s.
The $26,200,000 budget was pro-
posed by the house, but opposed
by the senate. Later the senate
dropped it's $23, 100000 budget and
decided to write a road bill for
$26, 200, 900. t
But that did not settle the fight.
The house, with Representative
Ed Sims handling the road bill for
the first time, backed by the Hart
ley administration, is apportioning
the money. The senate, headed by
Senator Carlyon and Senator Hall

GETS SHOCK
Power Go. Officials Take
Charge of Program at
Club Luncheon

Dave Rodgers got the shock of
his young life today. And at Com
mercial club, too.: Imagine! Any
one else sitting in that particular
chair would have been shocked,
for the power company officials
wired the chair up and Dave blew
a fuse. ,...,.
The luncheon today was under
the auspices of the P. P. & L. Co.,
who arranged the menu and the
program. A miniature power
house, transmission line and sub.
station was installed on the long
table, which was lighted and put
in operation during the meal. The
shocking device was also in opera.

Local Manager Howard Cooper
introduced the various heads OF

partment of the company, with
headquarters at Portland, was the
principal speaker. Mr.. Skelley
gave a very interesting talk or
the business of living. which was
greatly enjoyed by the forty-odc
men and women who attended.
The menu was couched in elec
trical terms such as electrocuteC
potatoes, high power coffee anc
so on, and the company distributed
Mazda globes as favors. -

. is also apportioning the money.
Both factions want to hand out
the road funds. Hence. nearly ev-
erything is at a standstill pend
| ing an agreement between the sem
ate and the house. And it is no
easy trick to agree on the distri-
button of $26,2O0,0OO in road
funds.
Then there is another fight to
settle. "Cow county" house men,
bers lifted $150,000 that was listed
for the Seattle-Renton road. King
county complained, but the "cow
county" members stood pat.
Beaten In the house, Seattle is
now dickering with the senate for
a bigger share of the road money.
Besides the return of the lifted
S150,000, King county is asking
the senate for an additional $685.
900, including $55O,OOO for the
Stone Way bridge.
Backers of Governor Hartley
seem to have the edge in this fight.
House members, especially new
members from the rural districts,
are almost pop-eyed over the bulky
budget on roads, and they think
they are improving their pros
poets by playing with Sims and
the Hartley group. Moreover, it
is certain that the road bill will
not be out and passed in time to
be returned by the governor be-
fore adjournment. In other words,
Hartley is going to have the last
crack at the road bill. If he vetoes
any items they will stay out. And
new members do not like the pros
pects-fancied, perhaps-of HAY
ing their pet items vetoed. So they
feel safer playing with the Hart
leyites. H.. f.
1t was that feeling among the
house members that caused the
surprise of crushing defeat for
the Hall Carlyon highway reor-
ganization bill, which would have
taken highway control out of the
hands of Hartley. Besides, the bill
was called "slap at Hartley"
Then, again, the vote was on Sin
definite postponement," not a case
of eyes" or "no." ~, ~5-:...3 haa
This combination caused rush
into the Hartley fold, giving the
governor his biggest victory in the
legislature and giving the Hartley
ties control of the house.
Later events put a culver in the
Hartley control, but it is quite
likely that the Hartley group,
headed by Sims, will manage to
handle the house until the close
of the session. b. "a. t..

COOPERATION
THRU STATE
Results of Observance of
State Week are Fair
ly Satisfactory

Through the spirit of unity and
cooperation shown by newspapers,
organizations, schools and rail-
roads during Washington Week,
this state has set an example
which if followed out during the
coming year, will result in state
consciousness. that cannot but re-
suit in much good to the state.
1t can be safely said that ev-
cry newspaper in Washington par
ticipated in the publicity end of
the campaign. Of the country
newspapers every paper carried
from one to three stories every
week since the first of the year.
Almost every community in the
state held one or more programs
during the week appropriate to
the spirit of the Awakening of
Washington campaign being car
ried out under the direction of the
Washington Press Association.
Commercial organizations, SER
vice clubs, churches, schools and
oranges participated in the OBJ
servance of the week. Speakers
were assigned over the state un-
til the supply ran out, which it
did few days before the week op-
ened. .... ..'.
Splendid cooperation was given
the movement by the railroads.
The Great Northern published a
beautiful Washington Week me-
nu in five colors, for use on it's en-
tire system east and west, during
the week. The Northern Pacific
provided some motion picture films
that were used as far as possible.
The Union Pacific published some
Washington Week leaflets that
were attached to menus used in
their dining cars in the state.
Radio broadcasting stations and
theatres co-operated during the
week with talks each day and
slides.
1t was not expected that Wash
ington could be aroused in one
year or several, but if the good
work started so auspiciously in
1925 thru the joint efforts of the
Washington Press Association and
State Chamber of Commerce is
continued a new unity and a new
state consciousness will follow.
With renewed interest in citi-
zenship and character, the theme
of the 1927 Washington Week, use
of Washington products and devel-
opment of Washington resources
will naturally follow.

GOLF OPENS
NEXT SUNDAY
Blind Hole Tournament
to Open Season
Ladies Invited

The golf season for Kennewick
will be officially ushered in on
Sunday morning with a blind-hole
tournament. Every golf player in
the community is invited to be
present, and the tournament will
start and get under way between
ten and ten-thirty. d.. .---
The grounds will be. in fine
playing shape, if the rain lets up,
and the greens and fairways are
in the best condition they have
ever been. ID f. .-. q
Players will be paired off as
they appear. Each pair will have
their names written on an enve-
lope which will contain three num-
bers. After their round, the win
ner of the three holes as indicated
by the numbers within the enve-
lope will be declared winner. Play
ers will not know which three
holes will count until after their
round. This will give everyone an
equal chance. FL. q sa 49,
There will be a grand prize Of
fered too. One number will be
sealed in an envelope and after
the whole tournament has been
played, the number contained in
the envelope will determine the
prize winner. For instance, if No.
3 is the number, the person MAX
ing the lowest score on that hole
will be awarded the prize. The
hole number will be drawn by lot.
In case of tie, the players hold
ing the low score will play that
particular hole for the prize.
At the golf meeting called for
Tuesday night some radical chang
es were made in the local rules.
The principal one being that there
would be no moving of the ball
play 'em "as is" wherever they
lie. The local ground rules pre-
viously permitted moving the ball
in the fairway. Moving The ball
will be permitted under the same
penalties as apply on all standard
courses. ~
A couple of buildings have been
taken out to the course which will
be fixed up for the grounds keep
.er and club house. The moving
was done by the construction de-
partment of the p. p. & l.. Co.,
who used for the first time a
heavy duty tractor, capable of
transporting a fifteen-ton load.
All those wishing to play next
Sunday are urged to be present
at ten o'clock. The ladies are es-
pecially invited--if they wear low
heeled shoes. IT,
