WANT BALANCE OF
IRRIGATION MONEY

About three thousand dollars
was subscribed recently by people
in this community to help carry on
the fight for the authorization of
the Kennewick high line canal. A
representative has been sent to
Washington DC, by the CONNER
cial club, and while more or less
information has been received from
him already, full report of his
findings will be made public after
his return, which is expected next
week.
Of the amount subscribed about
half has not yet been paid, ac-
cording to a report made at the
luncheon today, and the club is
going to make an effort to get it
within the week.
The matter of parking the town
side of the ditch bank was also
discussed at the meeting today,
and an effort will be made to have
this done this spring. 1t was also
urged that the club get behind the
movement to have full registration
of the eligible voters early in the
year.

DEEP SNOW TOUGH
ON GAME BIRDS

The chinook wind of the past
day or two came just in time for
the game birds who make Benton
county their home during the win
ter. Both the upland birds and the
water fowl have been suffering
during the past couple of weeks
from their inability to get freed.
The ice crust which covered the
snow proved too hard to scratch
thru, and the county game COM
mission has been attempting to
feed the birds.
One or two of the sportsmen
who were interested in the matter
made trip of inspection down the
river Sunday and found quite a
few ducks on the river which had
starved to death. Others were so
weak that they were readily pick
ed up and fed by hand Others
were strong enough to fly out of
reach. Several sacks of grain were
scattered on the river banks to
carry them through the spell of
snow.
The pheasants in various parts
of the county suffered severely

PIONEER SETTLER
DIES FROM CANCER
Resident Since 1904, Ingwall Smith
Passes Observation-Disclosures
50th Wedding Anniversary

Ingwall Smith, Kennewick res
ident since 1904, passed away yes
terday afternoon at his home on
the River Road. Death was caused
by cancer of the stomach and he
had been in poor health several
years. Mr.. Smith was born in Nor
way and came to this country as a
lad of fifteen. His parents settled
in Iowa and he was married there,
afterwards coming to Idaho, where
he and his family lived near Cen
esee for a quarter of century.
They moved to this valley when it
was sagebrush and improved their
tract along the River Road making
it one of the show places of the
valley. Mr.. Smith was a farmer
and only gave up active work when
his health began to fail.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith celebrated
their golden wedding three years
ago. Mr.. Smith was great-grand-
father of three children, GRANDPA
ther of fourteen and father of
SIKH is survived by his widow
and son A. l., at the home, three
daughters, Mrs. Dorothy Brue,
Mrs. Ingainia Tweedt and Mrs.
Mabel Mills; and his sons Laur-
itz and John. The children, with
the exception of Mrs. Brue, live on
almost adjoining tracts. Mr.. Smith
was gentle, kindly man, beloved
by all who knew him and with his
death the valley loses one of its
most prominent settlers:
The funeral will be held at two
o'clock Saturday afternoon from
the Lutheran church in the Olm-
sted addition.

QUESTIONS TO
BE ANSWERED
Evangelist Art Pope given
3rd Degree-Answers
Next Week

Relieving that the people of Ken
newick have a right to and should
know the personal beliefs and opin-
ions pertaining theology, of any
evangelist who comes amongst
them to preach, The Courier-Re-
norter made up list of dozen
nuestions and took them to Art
Pope. who is conducting the pres
ent evangelistic campaign under
The auspices of the Layman's
Evangelistic Association, and ask
ed if he cared to answer them di-
rectly. The questions were as fol-
lows:
DO you believe in heaven? what
kind? Do you think the wicked are
burned in hell of everlasting
fire? Do you believe all the bible
literally? Do you believe that
Christ was of virgin birth? Why
is the church divided into so many
sects and creeds? Is this a good
thing, or should they unite into
single Christian church? Are the
Christian people narrow-minded ?
Do you believe in speaking in
tongues? Do you condemn Chris
tian Science? What was Gods rea-
SON for creating man, knowing, as
he must surely have known, that
a large percentage would go to
hell? Is it sin for a man to
smoke and chew tobacco? Is it
any worse for woman to do this
than a man? Is it a sin to- drink
intoxicating liquor? Does a revival
meeting such as you are conduct.
ing, do any lasting good? If so, in
what way?
Unfortunately our list of ques-
tions did not reach Mr.. Pope in
time for him to reply to them in
time for publication this week.
However he has promised to an
swer them in full or as far as de-
sirable next week. Accordingly
here is your opportunity to find
out quickly and without effort just
what the Rev. Art Pope, the most
noted and successful evangelist in
the Yakima valley for years, be-
lieves about the Bible and how he
disposes of few popular queries.
Watch for his reply in next weeks
issue.

SPECIAL TRAIN
TO SERVICES
Expect 400 from Other
Towns to Hear Art
Pope at Tabernacle

With the tabernacle complete in
every detail, comfortable seats in
stalled and the building well light
ed and heated, the series of union
tabernacle meetings began their
second week of definite activity.
The building has been well filled
from night to night in spite of the
unusual heavy snow and weather.
/ The evangelist, Art Pope, has
been putting forth challenge,
night after night, to the Christian
people of Kennewick and commun-
ity. The messages have been STIR
ring, full of appeal and interest.
Rarely, if ever, have the. church
folk of Kennewick been privileged
to listen to speaker of this young
mans ability. His message teem-
ing with earnestness and sincerity
are testimonial of a close COM
munion with God. His messages
are delivered with a power that
impresses the most Indifferent
listener. Sunday night the speaker
will deliver his first evangelistic
sermon.
Several unusual added features
are added to the Kennewick cam
paign such as a great Bible con-
ference being conducted each after
noon at 2:30 in the tabernacle. Miss
Marion Campbell, young peoples
worker, is organizing the children
each afternoon after school into
one of. the best meetings ever
conducted in Kennewick to reach
the child life of the community.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson who have
charge of the music promise the
best musical program ever pre-
sented here. Cottage prayer meet
ings are being conducted each
morning over the entire community
reaching out for miles around.
Sunday is to be great day. In
the afternoon at 2:30 mass meet
ing will be conducted at which
time the evangelist will deliver one
of the most widely discussed pro-
blems of the hour: "Do Science
and the Bible Agree?"
All indications point toward the
present campaign as being the
most successful community wide
effort ever conducted here. Put
ting the movement in terms of fl
nance the present campaign can
function for an entire year for the
amount of expenditure of some
campaigns held in the community
for only period of six weeks. 1t
is considered the most practical
and constructive work of evangel-
ism in America today, according
to the workers who are backing
the movement.
Friday night will be a big night
at the tabernacle, when some 400
or more enthusiasts from the up
river country are expected. A spe-
cial train has been chartered to
bring the delegation down and the
railroad officials have promised to
get them in here at 7:30. They will
march from the depot direct to the
tabernacle.

during the past two weeks. In
most sections the farmers took
pity on them and they were fed.
The quail and Hungarians seemed
to stand the weather better and
managed to come through in bet
ter shape. A fact that most people
are not aware of is that the game
commission will furnish feed to
those who will distribute it for
the birds. Application must be
