THE ITINERATE PEDDLER
T IKE the birds, the itinerate

T IKE the birds, the itinerate
- peddler takes his way to our
sunny winter climate as soon as
the snow flies in the east. For this
reason Kennewick residents at this
time of year are pestered with a
flock of smooth tongued doorbell
ringers who glibly ply their wares
on the house wives of the city.
We have no objection to these per-
sons enjoying the benefits of our
winter climate, but it does seem
that some measure could be taken
that would prevent them from OBJ
tanning support by house to house
canvassing, which takes thousands
of dollars out of the tills of our
local merchants and puts them
into the pockets of these peddlers,
who leave for pastures new as
soon as they have worked the
town.
Kennewick residents can help
the situation lot if they will just
refuse to buy from them. The
merchants of the city can supply
everything they have to offer and
they are here to stand behind the
quality of their goods the year
round.
Heavy licenses would do much
to stop these itineraries. Between
heavy licenses and Encouragement
by; the public, Kennewick would
soon be rid of them.

of comprehension. Facts that show
the ascendency of this section in
many activities fall upon the con-
scienceness of the East without
making any impression. They buy
our lumber, apples, berries and
eggs in increasing quantities but
fail to grasp that there is intelli-
gence and organization in their
production.
We are not disliked, only ignor-
ed. And the reason is we have not
made ourselves known. We have
not had Washington conscious
ness so vigorous that it could not
be overlooked.
Thirty years ago California was
in relatively the same position
Washington is in today. Then she
got a California consciousness.
There was nothing else to the Cal
ifornian and the world soon began
to take notice of her.
The dominant character of
Washington resources forms a
foundation on which to bull da
faith that will transform the coun-
try. All things are possible to
those who believe, we are told,
and we ought to believe in Wash
ington. We ought to be 100 per
cent conscious of the glory Of the
state and have an optimistic reali-
cation of her latent possibilities.
And when we get this conscious
ness and wake up the East and the
world will take notice. Then pres
tige and power will come to Wash
ington and her people.

LOOKS GOOD

NEARLY everyone who has liv-
~ ed in this valley for the past
ten years or so is of the opinion
that our long period of watchful
waiting has about come to an end.
The news that came from Wash
ington this week relative to the
Kennewick highline has put the
town where most of us thot we
were about fifteen years ago. 1t is
about the best news that could
be conveyed with the possible ex-
ception of the date for the start
of the actual construction.
Hopes that have flickered al
most out in the past year or two
are again burning brightly and the
optimists are given the privilege
of saying 81 told you So" The
past five years have been hard
ones for those engaged in farm
ing, not only in this fruit section,
but all over the country. Many
have been unable to stand the
strain imposed and have quit the
game and gone to the cities. 9th
ers, who have managed to stay,
have not been overly enthusiastic
about their prospects, especially
in face of the conditions which
confront us.
With the likelihood that our
project will be taken up soon by
the federal reclamation depart
ment assuring the continuance of
the Highlands project, as well as
the development of an additional
$4,000 acres Kennewick can again
take up plans for becoming city.

concentrated their attention on the

they neglected those united move
