CONSOLIDATION FAILS

Last Saturday, March IL, a vote
was taken in the east end of Ben
ton county on the question of max
ing one consolidation school dis
trict of Finley, Hover and Mottin-
ger. The object was to consolidate
the high schools of Finley and
Hover into bigger and better
high school at Hover and to unite
the grade schools into one grade
school at Finley. Mottinger was to
have ward school that would be
a part of this large unit. 1t was
argued that consolidation would
greatly add to the efficiency and
at the same time it would cut the
cost of operation. But the voters
killed the consolidation by very
large majority against it in all
districts but Finley. The vote was
as follows: No. 9, Mottinger, two
votes for and 8 against; No. 13
Finley, 81 for and A against; No
%, Hover, 9 votes for, and 25
against.

THE spRINGTIME

A H, how wonderful the advent
IA of spring, the great miracle
of the poisoning of Aaron's rod,
repeated on myriads and myriads
of branches" So wrote the poet
Longfellow.
Something seems to revive the
heart in the spring time. Old folks
to whom life looked drab and
dreary, are cheered by the return
of the sun and birds, and they
grow happy again. Young people
are said to fall in love in spring.
Some mating instinct stirs in their
hearts. and they break their old
habits and form new families.
Everywhere hope and anticipa-
ton prevails. People look forward
to the good times of summer. They
feel full of activity and arrange
for sports in which their muscles
will have chance to display
themselves. It's a great time of
year, and people courageously
start out on new enterprises. The
world is full of confidence and an
ticipation, and in that mood we
all of us here in Kennewick, can
do more than we previously had
thought.

THE past week there has been
= an epidemic of dog poisoning.
1t is reported that thirty-five dogs
have died as result and still
there seems to be no diminishing
of the stray dogs that infest the
town. Anyone who will poison
dogs, even ours, is menace to
the community. It's crying shame
that the guilty person cannot be
apprehended. He is due for severe
punishment. But more than half
the blame for the crime can be
laid to the police force. The ours
have become such a pest that some
measure was really necessary. Re-
peated complaints have been lodg-
ed with the police and no relief
was granted. We hope the poisoner
has bad dreams and hangnails all
the rest of his life.

thing out of the ordinary had hap
pened. To this flapper wife, the
small matter of Staying husband
was but a trifle incident-more
husbands can be had, if they were
desired. Even a murder could not
be expected to detain one who is
ready for the bridge game, and
poor dead husband ought to be
ashamed that he made it necessary
to be killed. Perhaps two full
hands of bridge were lost because
of the delay, but now a peniten-
tiary will enter, to tone down this
flapper bit. She may find time
to reflect and wonder if she really
should have killed her husband.

THE full returns Of advertising
il IL

THE full returns Of advertising
i are not included in the results
obtained from the particular goods
advertised. A lot of people, who
are interested to come and buy
advertised goods, should be so
pleased by the service of that
store, that they will also buy
something else, or come again. So
the profits from that advertising
are created not merely by the sale
of one lot of advertised goods, but
by the advantage of pleasing a
lot of people and holding their
patronage. This permanent result
in building up good will should
amount to still more than the pro-
fits made on the advertised goods.

INDIANS IN STATES REFUSE TO VOTE.

fonr hundred Indians, representing most of the tribes of the Western States, met recently at Wlnnemueea, Nevada, and, among other things resolved not to vote in the present election. The position taken by the leaders was that as long as the Indians were asking for consideration of many things that specially concerned them on account or the circumstance of race they should not take part in the political battles of white factions Each of the 100 delegates win tako back to his tribe this recommendation. and if wac believed that Indians of Washington oragon Idaho Nevada, Utah, Wyoming Montana Colo rado, the Dakotas and Arizona would eenerar, speaking refrain from voting.
 Both morally and practically the Winne- mucca decision was sound. Indians really ouobt not to exercise the franchise unless tbev arc feauy to become citizens on exactly the sama footing as white people. As long as they are dealing with the white people for special con. sideration because they are Indians they sbo,,a take position as Indians Otherwise they con sutute special class of citizens and that doos nor ht Tn with the principles of democracy
 The very circumstance that Indians organivo in Alaska and vote as Indians at the dictation Of chosen leader who is pledged to care for their special interests" as Indians ought to mako 1t plain to them that they ought to follow tb decision of the Winnemucca convention os course that does not apply to those educationalIv quailhed Indians who ready to accent citi zenship, each standing on his own footing and each determining for himself in fact as well as

 We have lost eight years of opportunity while Delegate Sutherland has played politics between Alaska and Washington. In that time there mas not been single thing done by the Delegate that has contributed an iota toward petterment of conditions in Alaska He has not as me Empire has said, accomplished anything that has added single soul to the population or the Territory. Instead, in his game of politics ne has had Alaska advertised from one end of the country to the other as a cesspool as a sink hoie or iniquity, where it would be unsafe for anyone to attempt to raise family
 It is time that Alaska had enlightened rem resentaton in Washington. It is time for the people to give themselves square deal. It is time to retire MT Sutherland Gastineau Channel ought to give MT Grigsby a unanimous vote tomorrow

More Or Less True

 1 The reason they have Ol, i Ladies and Old Mems Homes i because sons so seldom marry tn, kind of wives who have swee enough dispositions to be able tt stand the old folks around.
 There is many a good, hard. working husband who enyies ths lazy lout who lets his wife take in boarders to support him.
 Some girls marry for a home and some just to have some one to pay their bills while they are looking around for husband they really can be crazy about.
 \ lucky husband is one whose wife doesn't think warmed up left overs are good enough for nocn lunch.
 Another boob. who gets a rude awakening is the poor fish who thinks when he pay for his wife's permanent wave it's one big ex pense he'll never have again.
 Middle age is that time of life people reach when mother begins to pay more attention to hair dye ads and father to the ads of hair restorers.
 A cynic is one who thinks that long before husbands hearing gets worse the things he hears do.
 No woman can love a man so much that she even can enjoy ly ing awake to listen to him snore.
 One reason why children don't get the home training they used to is because they refuse to stay around home long enough to be trained

PAUL'S BETRAYAL.

MT. Paul admitted the other day at Ketehi- kan that he had accepted S6 900 from the can nery interests to aid them in getting the right to leasehods for their salmon trap sites At the same time he has been getting pay from the Alaska Native Brotherhood as their attorney on the promise that he would abolish the traps. He took the money from the cannery interests last spring and made trip to Washington for them. In October last month in an advertise ment in the Alaska Native Brotherhood's maga- zine, the Fisherman, he declared over his signature:
 wish to tell the voters that I
 will not rest until ALL THE FISH
 TRAPS ARE ABOLISHED If you will
 give me the power in this election, I
 will swing the axe FISH TRAPS
 The REPUBLICAN TICKET will vote
 for the CONTROLLER BILL TRAP TAX
 BASED ON THE CATCH, etc.
 The question is, has MT Paul thrown down the canneries after getting $6,O0O from them or does he mean to throw down the Alaska Native Brotherhood?
 The circumstance that Mr Paul has been drawing down pay from the Alaska Native Brotherhood fer years representing them in the Legislature and making trips to Washington at their expense, without accomplishing a single thing for them, added to his admission that he has taken money from the canneries ought to make 1t plain that he be of no possible iurthef use to the fishermen the canneries and that the Legislature is place fer him.
 The further circumstance that MT Paul con tinues to assume to speak for the men whom he picked to run for the Legislature with him ought to suggest that the safe thing for tbe l voters of Southeast Alaska to do is 10 vote for the Democratic nominees

 Lamentations over the vanishing prospector are less audible than formerly Either the mourners becoming reconciled or wearied or their complaint cannot be heard because of louder noises else the prospector's visibility l is improving Whatever be the reason, the change is sufficiently noticeable to warrant in- yestigation.

Those who hold that he has had more than the mining en- slneer In finding bonanzas should bear in mind the fact that he has had an unfailing food supply.
 The tightening of credit from which the prospector has been suffering has occurred dur ing a period marked by the steadily increasing extension of credit by business to it's customers The prospector has been able to get liberal terms 1T ne wished to add some household chattel to ms possessions. But the beans and bacon have been harder to secure. This hits him below the belt and the natural result has been decrease in the number of his kind
 In some areas it is evident that conditions nave improved. Where public interest in mining has been aroused, the old-time prospector has come into his own again. In the Canadian FroYlnees, where many enterprises are under way the prospector has been having little diff hculty in securing the desired grubstake and the noise of his activity has spread abroad. Moreover wide publicity has been given to seopnyslcal work With all this on the air it mas been difficult for the Jeremiahs engaged in iamentlng the prospeetors disappearance to make themselves heard effectively.
