FINE SLOGAN
is SELECTED
Expresses a Sermon on
Possibilities of State
Development

Out of more than 100 entries
submitted in the statewide con-
test to obtain slogan in connec-
tion with Washington Week, the
slogan written by H. N. Whitelaw
of Oaksdale, Whitman county, was
selected as most appropriate. The
winning slogan is:
WASHINGTON, Natures Para.
disc, Mans Opportunity.
Hundreds of slogans submitted
stressed Natures generosity to
Washington, and a number con-
nected man or opportunity with
the state, but Mr.. Whitlaw's
phrase was selected because it
combined both ideas in a short yet
meaningful expression.
Almost every community in the
state was represented in the con.
test, which was conducted under
the auspices of the Washington
Press Association. The Judging
committee had a difficult task to
make a selection, and had mar
rowed the entries down to five
when the time first allotted ex-
pired. More time was extended the
judges to make their final choice.
Mr.. Whitlaw will be presented
the silver loving cup with his
name engraved on it during the
Washington Week program in
Oaksdale next week.

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM

The Woman's club put on an
unusually interesting patriotic
program Friday afternoon. The
meeting opened with assembly
singing under the leadership of
Mrs. L. M. Keene. The president,
Mrs. A. F. Brown, presided dur
ing the business session. Reports
were given by the chairmen of
the different departments and
committees. Donations were made
to the milk fund and to the Vet
eran's hospital at Walla Walla.
The program was in charge of
Miss Ida Perry and she was assist
ed by members of the OAR. Mrs.
M. M. Doan spoke on the work
OF the OAR. Mrs. Lucy Bentley
told why she was a OAR. and
Mrs. j. III. Siegfried gave a his
tory of the American flag. This
was followed by the flag salute
given by all present. The address
of the day was by M. NJ. Moulton
on the subject of Patriotic Duty.
He used Washington, Lee and Lin
coin as examples in history of cit
liens who served their country as
they saw its need, and drove home
the lesson that today our country
needs patriotic loyalty from us.
Mr.. Moulton also spoke of his re-
cent visit to Washington, DC,
and told of a private meeting with
President Coolidge.

LADIES NIGHT
GOES OVER BIG
Kiwanis Members Enter
tain Their Bosses at
Big Chicken Dinner


Ladies' night at the Kiwanis
club, the first ever held by the
new organization, was held at the
Valley club house last Tuesday
evening. A fine chicken dinner
served by the valley ladies was
the main event which was partici-
pated in by about sixty members
and their ladies.
The affair was a sort of get
together mixer and was punctuat-
ed by Kiwanis songs, short speech
es and musical numbers, with a
frivolous note injected by the
placing. of foolish favors and
clown hats at each plate. The prin-
cipal address of the evening was
given by Attorney Davis of Pas
CO, who spoke on womanhood. So
great success was the first lad
ies' night that it is planned to
hold such functions frequently
during the year.
The regular luncheons will be
resumed Tuesday noon at Hoop
er's.

EvANGELISTIC MEETINGS
ARE WELL ATTENDED

In order to accommodate the
attendance the meetings are be-
ing held this week in the Method
ist church. The plain gospel mes
sage of Evangelist I. N. Hughes
and the singing of the union choir
have brot out the people of the
town and surrounding country.
Over fifty have already accepted
Christ in these meetings. Plans
are being made for a basket din
ner on Sunday and there will be
services morning, afternoon and
evening.
Saturday evening, Mr.. Hughes
will tell the story of his life and
the change from that of a COM
mercial travelor to that of an
evangelist. Sunday morning he
will speak upon ''The Love of
Cod and in the afternoon service
he will speak upon Revival Meet
ing Christians or the First Symp-
toms of Backsliding." The last
service Sunday evening at 7:30 his
subject will be ''The Wage Cues
tion or How to Reduce Your Tax
es.' Many here in town do not
realize the Importance of these
meetings and remain at home,
while many from Finley and Rich
land are driving in for these ser
vices. Do not miss the remaining
services.

TRUCKS BARRED
OFF DIRT ROADS
Prosser-Grandview Unpaved High
way Closed to Heavy Vehicles
Due to Soft Condition

State highway officials have
stopped heavy trucks from using
the unpaved road between here and
Grandview due to the cut up con-
dition of the road. it was announc-
ed last week. All stages, freight
trucks and oil trucks will have to
use side roads.
The ruling went into effect on
Thursday of last week. 1t is also
thot that the road between Pros
ser and Benton City will be closed
until the road is repaired and the
ground dries.
Parts of the highway between
Prosser and Grandview are in al
most impossible condition and are
deeply rutted. One stretch of 1000
feet above the Buena Vista school
house is in the worst condition.
Graders have been working on the
road.

The clerical force of the Grange
store and their wives and Miss
Leila Johnsons and her mother
gave surprise party on Mr.. and
Mrs. c. c. Day Friday night, en-
tering the Day home and proceed
ing to take charge of the place.
The honorees were quite overcome
at such high handed action, but
upon being informed that they
wished to 'fboss" their retiring
manager for once, rallied and en-
joyed the fun. Cards were gotten
out and three tables were soon in
play. Later in the evening the self
appointed guests served refresh
ments. they had brot with them
and before going home, r. r.
Wooden, the new manager, on be-
half of the force, presented Mr..
Day with beautiful fountain pen
as a token of remembrance Of
their days together. Mr.. Day, who
resigned as manager of the store
in December, has been assisting

START N EW
STORE HOUSE
P. P. & L. Remodeling Old
Sub-station for Stores
Transformer House

Construction will start this week
on the new store house for the
Pacific Power & Light Co., to re
place the one which burned last
year. The new storehouse will car
.ry about the same line of construc-
ton material and wholesale stores
that the former building housed,
but it will contain greatly increas-
ed facilities.
The building to be used is the
one that has recently been dis
mantled, and which formerly
housed the steam auxiliary power
substation. A crew has been en-
gagged for the past month in re-
moving the big boilers and gener-
ator, and Kennewick's battery of
smoke stacks is no more.
A crew was put to work this
week, according to C. S. Knowles,
who has the work in charge, re
modelling the building, which is
of brick and the alterations and
additions will be made as speedily
as the weather will permit.
In addition to the new store
house, a transformer house will be
erected in separate building
nearby. The stub street end which
was recently vacated by the city
council will be used as the site
for the new building.
The fact that the officials of the
power company have finally de-
cided to use Kennewick as ship
ping base is taken as a particu-
larly favorable indication of the
future activities of the community.

FERRY PLAN
TALKED AGAIN
Club Speakers Stress I'm
portance of Closer
Contact with Pasco

Every speaker on the program
at the Commercial club luncheon
today had something to say about
the financial barrier that exists
on the highway between Benton
and Franklin counties. That there
is real need for lowering OF
the tariff seems to be apparent 60
everyone save the owners OF the
bridge.
President Rodgers has had
committee investigating the pos
sibility and feasibility of operat-
ing ferry near the bridge with
the hope of increasing the tourist
travel as well as the local traffic
thru lowered cost for crossing.
His committee reported that a
ferry of sufficient capacity could
be purchased for a comparatively
small sum and that the operation
could be managed. -.
Bishop Cross of Spokane told
of the need for a closer contact
with the people Of our neighboring
county, as also did President j. III.
Jewett of the Spokane Federal
farm bank. Chas. Barr, of Pasco,
said that a committee from the
Chamber of Commerce there had
taken the matter up and advised
the Kennewick club to delay any
drastic action until the legislature
had passed the "free and open"
highway program that had al
ready been passed in the senate.
President Rodgers expressed the
opinion that the only way to get
immediate action was by the ferry
plan and read the following ex-
tracts from letter from the De-
partment of Public Works relative
to the granting of a franchise:
cit is clear that no franchise is
required for the operation of a
ferry across a stream forming the
boundary of two counties. The law
upon this is clear. 1t follows that
a privately operated ferry can be
started at any time by filing of
tariffs with this department.
"I fail to find anything in the
law which would countenance any
such agreement as the bridge
company claims to have in regard
to prohibiting the operation of a
ferry near their structure"
The luncheon was attended by
twenty or SO delegates to the
Federal Farm Loan association
which is holding an all day meet
ing in the Commercial club rooms
today.

GARDNER FOR
HARTLEY JOB
Talk A. r. for Governor
Road Program not
Yet Settled

There is only one issue, one
story, in this legislature, and it
concerns roads. Everything else is
being held up pending settlement
Of the road fight, and many legis-
lators are becoming a bit troubled
by the prospects of deadlock ov-
er the road program, fearing a
last-week jam to jeopardize the
road program and bury scores of
private and local bills. just to
show how bills are being held
back, it is only necessary to report
that, after 35 days, only five or
six bills, outside of repeal meas
ures. have been passed and trans
mitted to the governor. The house
is holding up senate bills, the SEN
ate is holding up house bills, ev-
erybody hanging on to anything
that looks as if it might be club.
This week saw two telling
breaks over roads. One came when
east side house members split, ov-
er the proposed 55O-mile "dustless
loop, dropped the proposed $1O,-
100000 bond issue, and Represent
ative Hubbell eliminated Rep. Sims
as champion of the '1oop.'
The Sims plan called for. bond
issue and an extra cent gasoline
tax, yielding about two million dol
lars year, to retire the bonds.
Hubbell, after starting with Sims.
decided to forget the bond issue.
Sims and Hubbell went to bat
before a special caucus, Hubbell
winning, 14-6, with six members
declining to vote.
The other break found Sims tax
ing another trimming. Sims tried
to kill the Hall Carlyon highway
reorganization. bill, which would
take the state highway engineer
and patrol away from the COVER
nor, WHEN it came up in the house
roads committee, by declaring it
was a "slap at Gov. Hartley but
the committee rejected Sims mo-
tion for indefinite postponement,
20-13. Consequently it is figured
that a majority of the house roads
committee will support the Hall
Carlyon bill.
1t now looks as if Gov. Hartley
and his supporters are losing their
chance to gain majority-control of
the house. which has been confus-
ed and uncertain since Rep. Mark
Reed and Sims failed to win COM
manding leadership. Each faction,
pro and anti, can count on 42
members, with 13 members coming
under the, heads of neutral OF
independent"
In the first flush, most of the
Aneutrals" or independents" seem
they were not tied up. Thereupon,
they We're not tied-up. Thereupon,
the senate organization, using the
.Hall-Carlyon bill as the spearhead,
began to bear down on the house.
First of all, the house members
were inferentially informed that
the senate would not pass the con-
stitutional amendment for classifi-
cation of property until some
pledged help for the Hall Carlyon
bill.
This move by the senate scored
two ways. Representatives Hall
and Falknor organized a group of
about 25 members of the old 'sma-
Jority' to support the Halle
lyon bill. Next, the Grange, eager
to see the classification amend
ment, also swung behind the Hall
Carlyon bill.
