Leading Motors

Inclusion of two of the leading
motor stocks. at least in point of
activity, on the fiat" list is rather
significant. No matter what the pro-
fessional traders may feel in regard
to individual stocks in the general
market, they seem united in their
bearishness on the motors. Reports
emanating from good sources indl-
cate that Yellow Truck will show a
very poor last 1926 quarter, better
than 100000 deficit as against a
net profit of nearly 100000 for the
same quarter in 1925. The sharp
change will be explained by the fact
that all of the overhead incidental
to the Inauguration Of a new car
renting service as we'll as other fun
damental changes in the company
was charged against earnings, while
so far the new service has hardly
been under way long enough to In
dictate earnings possibilities. How
ever, the Street bears do not need
any one report to back up their
sentiment on the motors generally.

COURT HOUSE
COST S95,OO1
Original Estimate is Cut
and County is Occupy
ing New Quarters

During the aggitation for a new
court house for Benton county,
the remark was often made: "Oh,
it's impossible to build any kind
of court house for 100000" OF
"It's impossible to build a court
house that will be credit to the
county for any such sum-" and
again, "Oh, well if you start to
build for 100000 it will run up, to
S125,000 or $15O.00O before you
get thru, no public building was
ever put up and completed and the
cost kept within the estimate, etc.
So at this time, as the court
house is completed we wish to
submit for your inspection an
itemized cost bill of construction,
and leave it to you whether or
not it's possible to do the impos-
sible if handled in the proper way.
We have as nearly as possible a
fire proof building constructed en-
tirely of concrete, brick, tile and
steel and all new furniture of
steel. By the cooperation of all
the departments our expenditure
for new equipment was kept down
to the minimum, and by so doing
allowing more to go into perma-
nent construction. We have only
words of praise and commendation
for the contractor, Ernest White
of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Archi-
tect Geo. M. Rasque of Spokane.
for their efficient and painstaking
methods in their endeavor to put
up building that they could point
to with pride and not be ashamed
to quote exact cost of construction,
Expenditures were: Architect,
$4202.S0; main contract $74,321;
extras 1921 81; plumbing and heat
ing $S275; extras, $16S.75; light
fixtures, $675; inspection $219.25;
furniture s5144.S0; window shades
$394.94; moving from old building
to new $30S.7O. Total S95001.51.
Leaving balance of S4,999.49 for
improvements of court house
grounds.
The above statement was. given
the press of the county this week
by C. E. DeBow, chairman of the
board of county commissioners.

CITY BUYSTH
BEACH BLOCK
Will Refit Building for A
City Hall, Fire Station
and Library

The city council voted to pur-
chase the Beach block to be used
for city purpose. The price named
was $1,000 and the city attorney
was instructed to look to the legal
end of completing the deal.
Members of the council were of
the opinion that the deal was an
exceptionally good one and that
the installation of a heating plant
and the necessary alterations could
be made at cost of not exceeding
8 thousand dollars. 1t was point
ed out that the city could thus
use its rent money in acquiring a
permanent home, secure more ade-
quate facilities, and still not ex-
ceed the amount now being spent
in the form of rent.
The stub ends of two streets
were ordered vacated by an or
dinance which was introduced by
the Pacific Power & Light Co. The
two streets run north and south
between the O.-W. and the N. P.
tracks between the rear of the
Tum-A-Lum Lumber yard and the
power company's plant. They are
less than block long and are<in-
accessible from both ends. The
company is planning some new
building operations at the present
plant, which include the erection
of transformer house. The old
steam plant is being dismantled
and the building will be fitted up
as a general store house for the
system. The vacation of the streets
was considered necessary to allow
for this improvement,

STATE PLANS
MUCH OILING
Virden is Near Gle Elu1n
Over Million on Yak
ina Valley Roads

Extensive improvements and
paving on the Inland Empire high
way, between Kennewick and Vir-
den, IL miles south of Gle Elum,
are planned by the highway de-
partment for the coming biennium.
This work, according to recon-
mendations in Governor Hartley's
budget, will necessitate appropria-
tions totaling S1,142,0O0.
The whole highway program, in
a way, is under attack and may be
revised by the legislature. But the
Kennewick- -Virden phase is likely
to come through as now outlined.
Details of the S1,142,0OO pro-
gram for the Kennewick-V -Virden
stretch follow: Szs r..
Between Kennewick and Grand
view, 20 miles of grading. @
Virden to Ellensburg, 1S miles
of grading. ~.
Between Yakima and Parker,
21s miles of paving.
More than 100 miles of oiling
between Kennewick and Virden.
The oiling process, which will be
used between Kennewick and
Grandview, is expected to be just
a few steps below paving in COM
fort of travel. The process requir-
es a widening of the base, clay
building, with nearly an inch of
oil saturation. The highway de-
partment expects the process,
which is now used in eastern Ore
gon, top roduce a smooth, dust
less highway.

Vice President of State Assn
Speaker Says Public Ap-
preciates Quality

AL Haas, local baker, was elect
ed vice president of the Inland
Empire Bakers association at their
state meeting held last week end
at Spokane.
According to Mr.. Haas, there
were ,250 members of the associa-
tion present at the convention,
which was considered one of the
most successful ever attempted.
George Van Herself, Spokane,
secretary-treasurer of the associa-
tion is quoted as saying that 'tthe
association, with one exception, is
the largest in the west. 1t has
grown to be one of the biggest
trade organizations in the Pacific
Northwest, having a membership
240."
One of the factors pointed out
in the discussions which featured
the round tables was: "Whenever
there is a perceptible difference
in the quality between the bread
that sells for lesser price and
one that sells for higher, the con-
sumner will almost always take the
one that has the real quality"

VICTORY MEETING
WE'LL ATTENDED
ssThe Constitution Must Be Re-
spected and Supported is Of
fered as National Slogan

Under the auspices of the w.
C. T. U. meeting in celebration
of the seventh anniversary of the
passing of the eighteenth amend
ment to the national constitution
was held Sunday evening at the
Methodist church. Rev. F. w.
Carstens and Attorney Phil G..
Warnock were the speakers.
Mr.. Warnock ably discussed the
subject of laws for the enforce
ment of the amendment and set
forth the need of enforcement of
present laws already upon the
statute books rather than the pass
ing of any more laws. He COM
pared conditions in our own coun-
try with those in England show
ing that there seemed to be gen.
eral laxity in our own country in
the enforcement of laws already
existing.
Rev. Carstens spoke upon the
accomplishments of the last seven
years under national prohibition
and compared it to the emancipa-
tion of the negro from slavery. He
referred to Clinton Howard's
statement concerning the geo.
graphic, spiritual, political and
physical emancipations of the 10th,
18th. 18th and 10Th centuries re-
spectively and that the last great
emancipation was the moral and
economic emancipation of the goth
century when the eighteenth a
mendment to the constitution was
passed.
Rev. Carstens referred to the
statements made by the opponents
of prohibition claiming that the
amendment had been brot about
by the religious and fanaticaf ele-
ment. and that it had not been fav-
ored by the laboring and business
elements. By many references ne
showed that these arguments were
absolutely false and that prohibi-
tion was urged by labor and big
business long before the eighteenth
amendment was passed and that
it had been thoroly studied from
every angle before finally consum-
mated.
In closing he said: Because
prohibition is now part OF the
federal constitution, and because
no person can be considered good
citizen who does not do his utmost
to uphold the constitution, let us
each and all, by attitude, conduct,
and influence seek to make it ef-
fective thruout the length and
breadth of our great land, and as
we carry on the fight, let this be
our slogan "The Constitution Must
be Respected and Supported"
Let this be your personal pledge
GAS a good American Citizen,
will uphold the Constitution of my
country" When the enemies OF
prohibition talk of modification OF
amendment of the eighteenth
amendment meet them with the
determined attitude and effort
which says "Never again in Bon
dage to Booze"

NO HELP FOR THE
PUMPING PLANT
Definite Dates to be De
termined by Project
Managers in March
Mass Meeting

The Kennewick High Line canal
will be the next unit of the Yaki-
ma project to be constructed by
the federal reclamation bureau,
and there is no likelihood of the
department making loan to pro-
vide additional pumps or piping
on the Highlands in the meantime,
is the gist of a report made to the
Commercial club this noon by M.
M. Moulton, who returned this
morning from a trip to Washing
ton, DC, in the interests of the
project.
Mr.. Moulton said that DIR. Mead
had authorized the statement that
work on the local unit would be
started just as soon as possible,
and that the department. would
strain point to get early action.
No definite date has been set for
the beginning of operations, but
the work would proceed the stor-
age units as planned previously
and probably would not be later
than 1880, with possibility of
starting in 1929. The definite dates
would be decided on March Is, at
a meeting of all the project man
ayers which will be held at Dem
YER.
Stating that the reports publish
'ed In the Spokane and other news
papers were unauthorized and mis-
leading, he told of his interviews
with Senator Jones, DR.. Mead and
the reclamation engineers. He said
the matter of borrowing $150,O0O
for the purpose of providing addi-
tional pumping facilities had been
put up to the engineers who refus-
ed to give any immediate aid. The
department., however, has agreed
to send an engineer here to make
a survey of the present plant and
make report thereon.
He said that the officials finally
come to realization of the needs
of this community in the matter of
federal aid. That they were aware
OF the desirability of keeping alive
the 2700 acres of improved land
on the Highlands, and that the
kennewick unit was the most de-
serving and had the greatest claim
OF any of the western projects.
The main project as outlined
Will entail an expenditure of three
million dollars. If the appropria-
ton can be made million and a
nall a year, the work can be done
IN two years. If but a million at a
time is available, three years will
be required to finish the main
canals.
Mr.. Moulton thinks, now that
the department has definitely de
clded to take up our project, that
outside influences of Importance
can be used to great advantage
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
working for the upbuilding of the
state as a whole, could not aid this
unit with others in the state clam
oring for recognition also. Now
that ours has been selected for
construction, it can use its varied
resources to aid in it's develop
ment. The Northern Pacific rail
road has property in each of the
units under consideration. 1t could
not aid one at the expense of the
others until the department had
decided upon its program. He
pointed out that Project Manager
Lytel could also be of great assist
ance under the circumstances.
These and other influences can
now be used.
